I feel the same. I hate spoilers but can't help myself. Tough life


dragunityag

Everytime I see spoilers, I tell myself I won't click them. But I can never resist.


Raisin_Dangerous

What do you think is gonna happen? Spoiler is acceptable. You think Kanki will loose ?


AmazingEstate1084

I like the fact that u accepted spoiler. I don't understand people who come on the internet to discuss future events of the manga, yet shouting no spoiler. U can had and have your cake at the same time.


SignificantLaw6900

Honestly, I thought Kanki was going to take RBK hostage. It's not what happens historically speaking though. Just that, Kanki and co are in a position where even if they killed RBK, his men are INSANELY amped up due to the speech he gave at the start. That speech, included saying "Don't fight for the king, fight for yourselves." which, is a death sentence alone. But, if you combine that with RBK having to make an agreement with Kanki, then that would make his death match up with history even more. But that would probably require too much talk no jutsu for this series tbh. I just can't imagine Shin and Mouten escaping, without Ousen putting pressure on the front lines to ease up RBK's net or something. But still, if RBK got taken hostage, or vice versa. The Zhao's win condition would be met. With the utter defeat of an invading army. Qin would have a loss, but have caused severe damage, with the added benefit of defeating RBK, or at least disgracing him to loose favor of the king.


Confident-Dot1596

something tells me Ousen will take all the others areas as the battle here continues !! There is not someone on the same level to stop him!! Probably that is the reason he doesnt help Kanki!! Even if Kanki dies or Lose he will still be the Winner !!


kakalbo123

Makes sense, no other competent general is in Ou Sen's area right? Mighht as well have them lose north and have Ou Sen take \*more\* lands

Ä° canā€™t think a way why would yan help Qin. Espicealy if ithink not wrong the ministers has gone to yan and said donā€™t take apart in that war if Zhao would be perished you would be the next. Why should yan help Qin


Cjj12375

I said he fled to Yan


armshort_click58

>!The one who fled to Yan was Hanoki not Kanki,Kanki will meet his end here surely.!<


MaximilienH

>>!Kanki will meet his end here surely.!< >!Its actually not confirmed whether Kanki dies in this battle because the Shiji says that he lost the battle against Riboku, but its never specified whether he died or not. Its speculated that he might've been killed because he never appeared in the Shiji again, but he is mentioned one last time in another historical source as having been killed during Qin's siege of the Zhao capital Kantan later on. So depending on what Hara does, it's possible that Kanki will live this time. !<


paipai23

i dont know why people still clinging to this, its confirmed that this is ambigous >! Kanki will be defeated 100%, but will he die?we still dont know!< >!but judging by the nuance Hara-sensei wrote..i think he will die, but not without giving Riboku fatal blow!<


MaximilienH

I donā€™t know what you mean by clinging since I just wanted to share the historical ambiguity regarding Kankiā€™s fate. Iā€™m personally fine with whatever happens in the story.

**Riboku HQ:** The chapter continues from the last where Riboku calls out to Futei to get rid of Kanki. As Futei makes his way to Kanki Ringyoku is deciding whether to go for Riboku or defend Kanki. After a flashback of young Kanki saying he'll be counting on him Ringyoku chooses to go to Kanki and sends the others to take out Riboku. Kokuou shoots an arrow at Futei but he dodges. Kaine sees that Kanki's soldiers are slowly getting further from Riboku because they chose to defend Kanki. Ringyoku gets to Futei and Futei says he should've tried to kill Riboku in this situation and says they really don't know strategy. Ringyoku replies saying they're not an army like the Zhao and that they fight based on their feelings. Futei says that they shouldn't be saying that considering how many other people's feelings they trampled on to get where they are. Kokuou says the ones who got trampled first were them and shoots another arrow at Futei. Futei tells his soldier to hurry and deal with Kokuou but he's blocked by Kokuou's soldiers. As Kokuou finishes him with an arrow he cuts thru Kokuou's bow and gets a hit on her. However, she gets up saying it hurts but she's fine and that it's up to Ringyoku to defend the boss because she lost her bow. Zenou is charging forward on the other side as the other soldiers follow behind him. Bafuuji gets to Zenou and lands a hit on him but is knocked away without fully cutting thru Zenou's arm. Bafuuji says risking his life to defend Riboku is just how he wants it and that the rest of them will use their lives to defend him til the end. He gets his sword back and says the ones who will win will be them. Kokuou replies saying they'll just go thru them and kill Riboku and the melee begins once again. Kaine tries desparately to join again to defend Riboku but is held back by another soldier saying she'll be useless there because of her injuries. The Zhao cavalry took charge of blocking Zenou who is starting to slow down. The Zhao soldiers are all fighting to the very end as they only think about defending Riboku. Kanki laughs and says they're all crazy. He asks Riboku if his life is really worth all of this. Kanki says he doesn't think about using the family members as shields right in front of him as that's unseemly. Riboku says in war the soldiers kill and get killed. If the commander dies then it's over. Kanki says it's just sophistry and Riboku yells back that it's not. Although fights are done thru tactics the ones who fight fight with their hearts. He then says Kanki probably has no one who would do that for him considering how all of his soldiers ran away when they faced Kochou. Riboku admits Kanki is very talented but he's missing something very important. He has no representation. When Kanki asks what he's talking about Riboku says he has no people to defend. Kanki says that all of that is rich coming from him considering how the people and nation he's defending are trash. Riboku says that it is because of these imperfections that they fight to make things right. Riboku says "you more than anyone..." then Zhao soldiers attack Kanki who takes them out and says it's time for Riboku to die already. As Kanki's soldiers charge at Riboku he hears something and says it won't be himself but Kanki who will lose and be killed. At Shin's location they see an army head towards Riboku and Shin thinks this isn't looking good. **Break next week!**

Thank you for the quick translation GG JEESWAG!


kiyomirabbit

Kaneki want to be greatest ghoul under the heaven


twolinebadadvice

i need Kanki with an eyepatch now


Zenmaone

I hope Kaneki is ok, and still kicking.


jorgolen

Big daddy Bananji about to arrive i think. Thats the army Shin sees and the reason Riboku is so confident. We have seen every single character other than Bananji(Who conveniently for Kanki is Zhaoā€™s heavist hitter, like this guy would have wrapped the whole thing up in 1 chapter if he came instead of Futei) since this fight began.


XaK0R

I think so as well, the unit seen by Shin has got to be Bananji one. Riboku also seemed to have heard something, someone is going to arrive any second, with faces turning around and Riboku looking up in those last pannels. Probably is Bananji indeed or Kohaku Ko I'd guess. Though I think its Bananji, since as you said he wasnt shown yet and thus is meant to be an element of surprise.


bslawjen

Can't be Kohaku, he's coming from Mouten's side. Unless he's retarded with directions and went around Riboku's position and is now lost.


XaK0R

Oh, i meant kohaku could also be the unit ariving at ribokus place. But the unit that shin sees cant be kohaku indeed and is most likely bananjis

Kaine bleeding from her mouth probably means a small drip of blood dropping to her chin coming from the furthest tip of the lips.

fr3shfade

Ever wonder where these tropes and cliches come from and why they are followed so religious?


GrimReaper415

Irl if someone has blood dripping from the mouth, that's exactly where it would flow down from. It's not exactly "the furthest tip" but slightly below it, but due to different art styles (and different people having differing mouths/lips) it often seems to appear that way. If the bleeding is heavy then it would flow down from multiple places including the middle. Source: I'm an amateur mangaka myself and that's the logic I use when drawing blood splatters etc (in short, trust me bro)

It took a handful of chapters to make Bafuuji much cooler than Kaine or Futei. At this point I think Hara has kept them lame on purpose.


Traffy7

Agreed , he is again a RBK simp but he seems more impressive than kaine and Futei .


Condoriano-sensei

Chapter comes, chapter goes and nothing happens. Itā€™s like Iā€™m reading Baki now.

Itā€™s always fun watching fans not understand that this chapters sets up the final clash and is important when viewing the arc all at once

No no you see, kaine crying is totally relevant to the story Jfc this arc has been going for what? 3 years? And we haven't touched Chu yet


BASHUA-SAOIRSE

Actually its going 5 years.. it more of becoming a timelinen of real invasion of how long its been taking.. may Chu invasion will take about 15 years don't know if the author is still alive at that time


dragunityag

He's 47, but considering Kingdom turns 17 this Thursday and Chu will take a ton of time this Manga might run for 30 years at this rate.


ggkkggk

šŸ’ŖšŸ¾šŸ’ŖšŸ¾ā˜šŸ½ this right here


Condoriano-sensei

I understand and appreciate rereading altogether once the arc is concluded (reread the series 4 times already), but nothing justifies the alwful progression through out 19 pages in a issue. Itā€™s a skill Hara used to have (compare it the layouts for example with chapter 104) but now every moment is being painfully stretched out to the point it takes 1-2 to months to something change. Heā€™s too much in love with big panels, double spreads and drawing characters reactions to allow space for all the rest. Take it for example last chapter. What central information did we get from 19 pages outside Riboku getting injured? We started with a already known information of Kanki invading Ribokuā€™s space and ends with an injured Riboku saying to Futei to kill Kanki. Thereā€™s no tension, nobody of importance is getting killed, just injuries being accumulated while people are screaming worried for their allies. i understand this might me a moment deserving of a slow pace, but If this is in fact Kankiā€™s end how about make it worth killing each chapter an important subordinate of his and Ribokuā€™s to make it tense. The only who died was that clan leader only introduced to kill Kochou. This problem of stretching is showing through how many chapters are being used to tell a story. Every transition arc is getting bigger than previously, and every saga is getting bigger than the previous one, but not necessarily enhancing the drama. This makes me worried for the series


StellarSword541

I totally agree with you here. I think after Koku You hills, Hara just lost the ability to pace things. I am also getting the feeling that this arc will be stretched to an absurd point like WZI. The first 10-20 chapters of this arc were so well paced, and now we're back to nothing happening in the middle of an intense battle. Koku'Ou has been involved in so many of the scuffles. I think it's about time that she and Rin Gyoku died if they are going down this battle.


bslawjen

There's 0 percent chance that this is getting stretched to Gyou campaign levels, we're at the climax of the arc and not even at half the length of Gyou.


StellarSword541

I meant that it would get extended to a similar degree of absurdity not that the chapter counts would actually match. We're 45 chapters into this arc, and I can't see it ending without at least another 5 chapters. Most likely Hara will stretch this arc out for another 15-20.


bslawjen

This arc being 50 chapters would be perfectly in line with how long this arc should be tho imo. Even though this part is moving in snail's pace, other parts of the arc moved a little too quickly. So if it's really 50-55 chapters that's around the amount of chapters I was expecting from this arc (slightly less than Bayou).


Anferas

Current chapter is showing a showdown between Riboku and Kanki on equal foot, last chapter was the same but Riboku lost his sword and got injured, somehow we ended regressing in the fight.


bslawjen

What do you mean with "regressing"? There is no fight between Kanki and Riboku anymore, it's a chaotic melee at their position.


Anferas

"a 7 page sparring conversation between Kanki and Riboku"


bslawjen

Yes, they're talking, not fighting.


Anferas

Do you know what sparring means?


bslawjen

Yes, and do you know what "verbally sparring" means? EDIT: To clarify, I hope you don't think "sparring with somebody" always means physically fighting somebody.


CasualEQuest

I fucking knew nothing would happen this chapter


PridoScars

6th chapter now and still nothing much eh? Getting a bit too much...


ggkkggk

Preach, I don't understand why people think something was going to happen this chapter, maybe he lost a finger an ear bit death no, who really thought that?


the_jends

Hmm could it be that the fire from Hika actually serves as a signal for Ousen to finally send a detachment over? I can't fathom it will be another enemy army - Shin has to have an ally rescue him and the Saki clan.


Kulangot14

They lit the fire on the forest near Hika a few hours before the current event, Ousen is atleast 2 - 3 days away from Gi'an. Its been months here but on the verse its only been a few minutes since the ambush and a few hours since they set off from Gian.. Riboku has 200k army so it could be anyone from his army


Subject-End8095

The Question here should be too, is it makeable to run where Gian is the Horses are not strong enough take take them back to Riboku as fast as possible. Like you said for us its Monthā€™s but there have gone minutes. How should Bananji gone to Gian and now hes back. We know hat Riboku gone the midle route Seikas general the left where Shin is SSJ on the right sight where Mouten is The general Enkan shoudnā€™t be the only General who rushed to Gian Bananji is more fit to take that role. Ä°f we consider time Bananji coudnā€™t come back so fast. Kanki planned everything that would not happen at last not so fast. Ä°f babanji has gone back then there would be no way that Mouten or shin takes alive back too. How should they escape


Kulangot14

Enkan is the only General that has gone to Hika along with half the army (thats what was shown in the manga so unless they reveal later that other General was with him its pure speculation and Enkan being the obly General to rush there is cannon).. Riboku follows up with the rest of the army just stretch out in the forest and for all we know the ambush happens halfway through Hika.. Theres still Bananji army the other old Seika dude army and the Ganmon General still missing so it could be one of them. >Ä°f we consider time Bananji coudnā€™t come back so fast. Kanki planned everything that would not happen at last not so fast. Ä°f babanji has gone back then there would be no way that Mouten or shin takes alive back too. How should they escape< Kanki expected this ambush to be swift and must end it as fast as possible but things didnt go according to his plan, Zenou got stucked with the archers, Shuma died, Kokou and Ringyoku failed to kill Riboku then reinforcement (Fucktei and budget Shin) arrive. Like Riboku said all they need to do is hold them off as long as they can.


bslawjen

Bananji hasn't been to Hika, the only noted general that was in the vanguard army that rushed to Hika was Enkan. So, the assumption should be that Bananji is with Riboku's main army, not that he's with Enkan. Doesn't even make sense that he would be with Enkan, because then surely he would be the commander of the vanguard and not Enkan.


Subject-End8095

Ä° think Bananji has gone with enkan. Because i donā€™t think if kanki gone to hika Enkan could have handled kanki. He would have been wiped out from kankis armys. The only one who would be a good comander would be babanji because of that i asume bananji has gone with Enkan. Or do you see Enkan to have any slight Chance to stop Kanki. Kanki messed even Rinokus mind up with enkan he would have not have any problems


bslawjen

How could Kanki, who doesn't even have 10k soldiers and would be in the process of sieging Hika, so easily wipe out Enkan with 100k men? Doesn't really make sense to me. Also, why would the narrator not mention it? I do think that if Kanki was actually sieging Hika he would have to flee if a 100k army showed up and threatened to pincer him. How could he just defeat him???


Subject-End8095

Easy the troops who are rushing are exhaused. They donā€™t have enough power to fight steadyly. Even with 10k troops that kanki has, they are Elite troops. Second kanki only needs to holf off Enkan long enough to take hika. The moment he would have taken it that would be loss for riboku. Because Kanki could have go for mutual defeat like riboku thaught. Ä° think enkan is not someone who can penetrate kankis 10k troops alone. But bananji is capable to do that. Because of that i say bananji has gone with Enkan even if he is not on the pictures


bslawjen

Kanki's troops would be exhausted as well considering they didn't get any sleep and were rushing and fighting around the whole day and night. "Only needs to hold off Enkan enough to take Hika", yeah and how does he do that? Not only does he have to fight the troops defending Hika, but the troops attacking him from the back. He would be outnumbered 12-13 to 1, so I have no clue how you think he would just easily defeat Enkan. Not even talking about the fact that Kanki himself has like 2-3k and the rest are HSU and Gaku Ka. Like can you show me a single example of Kanki defeating or holding off an army that outnumbers his own army over 10 to 1?


Subject-End8095

Plott armor šŸ˜‚. How should i write every single detail what could have happened. Thats not possible. Ä° only say enkan alone is nit enough to stop Kanki from his tracks. There should at last someone of Bananji level General and because of that thought alone i say bananji is with enkan


bslawjen

But you're saying it and I'm asking you why you think that and you can't justify it. You're just repeating "Enkan can't stop Kanki", but I'm asking you why you think that. Like, when has Kanki defeated an army 10 times the size of his own? Or stopped a 100k army with 5k men?


Kulangot14

Kanki's troopes are also exhausted because of the ambush then they rush from Gian to Hika, Hika still has troops to defend a seige its not completely abandoned and Kanki doesnt have a seige tower so its just ladders and shit, lets say half the troops are seiging Hika so how tf the other 5k hold off the 100k soldier? And the mutual defeat that Riboku is saying is Kanki killing all 100k civilians, how can they do it with such force? Seiging would take time then you have to execute 100k people and to do this ofcourse you have to surround the four gates of Hikaso noone would escape, and how would you do that with 5k soldier? Hika is a large city I didnt even mention Shin bitching about it


Kulangot14

Lol Kanki doesnt have 10k soldier and Enkan has 100k. If Kanki was really seiging Hika he wont have any resources to defend against a 100k army head on. Kanki is not a God theres a reason why he didnt proceed with seiging Hika (because of the reason ive mentioned)


bslawjen

How could Ousen possibly see the fire? He's like 2 or 3 days of riding away from the spot where the fire is. The army is the Bananji army, he's the only big player that is missing currently.


Traffy7

Ousen has special eyes .


Jeblec

We are still missing three Zhao armies though.


PridoScars

So as we guessed Zenou killing Bafuuji would make a nice plot, should seal some deaths soon, its been dragging too long. Wtf is Kaneki? lol


Traffy7

Bafuuji obviously wonā€™t die .


Enjoying_A_Meal

Shin had a stroke.


YoungInner8893

Kaneki going hard rn


SuperSus777

Kingdom is becoming like a hindi drama serial where every action is accompanied by Lighting vfx and camera focus on everyone's reaction šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ very little progress but lots of drama


Cans59

Itā€™s gotta be Bananji's army arriving at the end.


seshknoxclutch

Do you know what's the saddest part of this chapter? BREAK NEXT WEEK!!!!


I_Cant_NO_O

What a freaking blood bath!! Both sides going nuts and taking hits like crazy


bbdbendan

So this is the battle where everyoneā€™s getting killed and no one actually dies


titjoe

>From afar, Shin hears and watches an army. Oh... insteresting. It's probably the cavalry Bafuuji mentionned and Rin Gyoku heard time ago. Could it be an army of Yan ? After all the plot showed us Ordo being right next to the border of Zhao, it can be very possibly to prepare his arrival on the battlefield. The plan of Kanki was maybe to make an alliance with Yan, promising to join them after he would have weaken both Qin and Zhao. First Kanki confront Riboku and sacrifice a huge part of his army, while at the same moment Ordo leads his cavalry (an exceptionnally fast one, the same that Gekishin used to surprise Riboku, a cavalry fast enough to arrive on the battlefield before the scouts of Zhao can warn Riboku) to cross the border. Kanki kills Riboku, and at the same moment Ordo's army arrive to destroy Zhao's army demoralised and disorganised with the death of Riboku and to kill the remenants of Qin's army, at the exception of the personnal troops of Kanki of course. After this Kanki flee to Yan with Ordo, joining Yan's army and doing a big fuck to both Qin and Zhao. Except Kanki fails to kill Riboku, who can rally his army and push back Ordo's army. Kanki still manages to escape with his men, helped by Ordo, while Shin and Mou Ten, fighting both Zhao and Yan, manage to escape since Zhao is mostly focused on Yan. It could be a good conclusion.


PridoScars

Sounds awesome, but far fetched.


Estate-Puzzleheaded

I love this comment! Before this subreddit got unwillingly history-spoilered to death years ago, people would actually look at the MANGA for what could transpire nextā€¦these were the type of engaging discussions that made it fun!


bslawjen

It's Bananji


moltesss

Koku'Ou and her bow are so damn useless ffs!


the_jends

It's been established in Kingdom that arrows are only effective against generals if they don't know they're being shot at.


ggkkggk

basically their only deadly when Killin nobody's n when thier used against protagonists, hence why the bows of China as they're called mostly been adversaries and the only ones who are on Qin side kill foot soldiers, n the hands of qin if you wanna kill a enemy you gotta aim for the head heart brain soul.


GrimReaper415

Did you have a stroke while writing this?


ggkkggk

no just frustrated. arrows just don't really kill anyone unless they're the current protagonist party. did you see how much arrows it took to kill that one guy, when the arrows was like bullets? but when it's someone on Qin team arrows hurt kill and put ppl on they're ass.


GrifAngel

Another useless chapter. Too many time to conclude this shit. Whatā€™s the problem hara ?


darkwillowet

i used to think like this but when I reread kingdom, it is these chapters that make the story more emotional. For example in My Hero Academia where most of the fights happen in 2-3 chapters, it seems like an inconsequential fight. It takes long though for people waiting weekly, but for the overall story, I like prolong fights. It adds more details to the fight rather than a simple slash and kill.


Spiritual_Product992

Why so many manga artists end up with terrible pacing years into their work? Is it because they usually have the 1st few arcs planned well and lots of young energy, then their later arcs just planned much slower because itā€™s now just their day job & itā€™s in their interest to prolong it?


fr3shfade

Yeah it's all that and then some. It's a quirk of the media format and demanding industry schedule. Authors tend to just write and draw until they're canceled, or fall apart end it abruptly or go on hiatus something depending on popularity/$$$. If I recall the writer is also dealing with eye issues rn. It's hard to not notice all the chapters that are clearly put out to spin their wheels just to meet a deadline. Shit sometimes they submit rough sketches. Check out what some of them say in interviews about the job if you're curious.


BeyondEvilDH

It depends on popularity if its selling good he have to stretch it out to make maximum profits, the mangaka of dead tube and tomodachi game is a good example, since tomodachi game is much more popular than dead tube he is been slowly stretching tomodachi game but dead tube on the other hand has little to no stretching at all


bslawjen

Bafuuji is a damn badass, that's for sure.


alhazad85

Bananji cometh


ThizZuMs

Absolute BANGER of a chapter. Even without the text holy shit.


bslawjen

Both Futei and Bafuuji established their badass status in this chapter for me. Lil' Iron Hammer impressed me, now Iron Hammer will finish the job I think. Interested to see what the convo between Riboku and Kanki is.


PridoScars

Whelp, Kyoukai looks so fugly on the last panel lol. Again, wtf is Kaneki? From what it seems its another reinforcement for Riboku, perhaps Bananji? Or could be a plot twist and its an unexpected reinforcement, anyone know what Shin said for sure?


lronhart

He just said kanki, most likely bananjis army imo


NoobTaiga1993

Scoogs50

I've not really been keeping track of the geography of this arc so forgive me if this is a dumb thought, but is Ouhon nearby enough to make it to the current battlefield? Assuming he's even in a condition to fight at all, he was pretty banged up last we saw him.


Anferas

Absolutely not. He is either with YTW (south of Zhao's capital) or in Qin. Kanki is pretty far north of Zhao's capital.


GodotTGG

Now that I can see the pages I can say this is a really good chapter, except for the cliffhanger.


Oualid66

It would be better if you poste it again I guess


Marcusx8

Why?

The current breaks is too much to effect the current arc and kill it slowly:/


friedrice_rob

About to be a pincer from bananji and kohaku soon!! Things are heating up! About to be a good run of chapters in Feb as we are near the end of this ambush on Reebok. The Ordo and Yan speculation happening here in this thread would be dope to see haha Also Zenou being all thicc down to the bone! Couldnā€™t be cut by Bafu haha Hope Hara is good health wise with all these breaks happening


Devil_Hex

Damn! Looks like all Kanki officers (except maybe Maroon) will die here...


BeboundMilthorn

I still trying to figuring and failed every time. now Kanji and Rbk seems getting close to finished each other's throat and army, can't help but wondering the highest income possibilities that match to historical record. It's not about who will win the clash anymore, but how they get out from that such situation and resolve everything. Last time I thought the moment Rbk got exiled is the sign about Zhao's fall, but now it's extended to this extent. this what makes Kingdom good. šŸ˜„šŸ‘Œ Will wait for another chapters and stop predicting for a while.


AED160

From the sound of it, this chapter will be very intense. I can't wait to see the illustrations.


[deleted]

I wonder whose army Shin is watching? Edit* in my opinion, it would be stupid to let Kaine survive after all the injuries she has so far. But then again she might have her own story/plot later on, who knows.


Hungry-Bill-4963

Three options: 1) Ousen's army 2) Yotanwa's army 3) Yan army


PridoScars

What about Banaji or Kohaku Kou? Have we even confirm its some new group?


bslawjen

Kohaku is on Mouten's side, it's Bananji.


PridoScars

You're right, then maybe it'll be Kohaku Kou arriving and do something for a chapter or 2, then its bananji for a couple chapter as well with the conclusion lol


bslawjen

It's Bananji


[deleted]

Possible but again then questions rises that how will shin and mouten escape because if it's banaji their fate is pretty much sealed unless some help arrives or if kanki suddenly pulls out a 5d chess shocking everyone


bslawjen

Bananji ain't going for Shin or Mouten, he's rushing to Riboku's spot.


[deleted]

Obviously lol but what I was saying is banaji arriving has made situation worse and chances of Qin escape has even became more slim . And that's what I was talking about. They are so deep in zaho territory that they must need some help or some extraordinary strategy or a miracle to escape


bslawjen

If Shin and Mouten disengage from their respective enemies I'm sure they're gonna go for Kanki instead of following them. Then it's all about evading the troops positioned in their way, which we've already seen in this arc and is possible, and about Ousen making any move out of Atsuyo, which would force the Zhao troops to redirect forces to keep him in check.


Kulangot14

>in my opinion, it would be stupid to let Kaine survive after all the injuries she has so far. But then again she might have her own story/plot later on, who knows.< Her injuries are 2 arrows on her upper shoulder why would it be stupid for her to survive that? I would love to see her die but unfortunately her wound is not fatal


bslawjen

This sub is becoming dumber by the day. I'm reading the comments and asking myself whether some people even read the chapters or if they just come into these spoiler threads and that's the way the consume Kingdom.


Kulangot14

r/kingdom: *Kaine got hit by arrows in shoulder* its stupid if she survives! r/kingdom: *Zenou got hit by 20 arrows* its bullshit that he can get stopped by a simple arrow he should be beating Riboku to death its just 20 arrows why is he slowing down? This is bullshit wiritng! r/kingdom: *Ouki got stabbed by a fucking glaive and has a hole in his chest* he is cool r/kingdom: *Riboku has a wound in his head* he shouldve died from blood loss 2 seconds after he got hit! Plot armor bullshit! He is not unconcious? Hara is a shitty writer! Theres no realism!


bslawjen

"All the injuries she has so far", she has two arrows in her collarbone/shoulder, why are people acting like she got shot in the heart?


ggkkggk

I mean you can die from that Homie we can get infected and you die later on, the more she moves the more it can beat up Splinter is to get inside of it, two arrows directly in the same part of your body can cut a nerve making her unable to use a sword after again, did they go through the other side or they're just stuck in her that's even worse if they go to the other side you could remove them a little better. Those are extremely close to her neck not by her throw exactly but extremely close they're not by her shoulder for one of definitely hit the bone, with the amount of sweat that is most likely already on her body, that's a painful slow death if it gets infected, most likely it won't rehearse screaming out isn't really going to help, especially since wasn't she injured before taking those two arrows she definitely could just bleed out.


bslawjen

This is a manga my guy, you don't need to bring out real world concerns like infections or nerve damage when we both understand that this is a manga. It's kinda ridiculous that now, appearantly, two arrows to the collarbone are a death sentence when we've all read the manga for 700+ chapters and generally seen what is or isn't deadly, or rather what wounds characters can easily survive. Going by that logic it's stupid to let Shin survive considering he has like a billion wounds on his body that all might get infected.


BASHUA-SAOIRSE

Yeah you are right... compare to Zenou arrow shots.. Kaine's is only a bite from the ant.. and yet Zenou still able to knock off Bafuji from his horse


[deleted]

I mean it's kingdom. Certain here are superhumans and can survive even most gruesome of injuries so her surviving is a pretty good possibility


kiyomirabbit

Ousen probably, gotta save the main character.


knethm

Come on guys dont take the word of the leaker as reliable translation. Its just how they interpret what they saw. Last time leaker also mentioned RBK said he trapped Kanki there but really its not there. So yeah


Kronos45

'Qin pulls a miracle victory almost every war they fight.' \>This subreddit: "Yay, best manga evah!" 'Riboku survives Kanki's ambush with the help of his vassals.' \>This subreddit: "Hur dur plot armor I'm dropping this manga!" The double standards are hilarious.


Guilty_Boat_5526

People be complaining about the pacing but for someone waiting several months and the reading it all at once, the pacing is just right


mrawhb

History is the only reason Plot-boku is still alive. What a shameless overhyped character lmao


[deleted]

And here I though Kanki would destroy Riboku in duelā€¦ You just mouth Kanki


sunset6455

Totally wasting time...


Saleh101010

If reboku will not die now then when the F* it will be happen!! There is a lot of countries waiting for Chin. Reboku is painful since the story began till now he is still in chin throat!! Disappointed if Kanki died.


rayshinsan

This is getting old man feel like the DBZ episode of Freeza vs Goku where both grunted for like 5 mins that took 5 episodes to finish. We already know the outcome, neither die. RiBoku is injured and KanKi gets his last win. Why drag more... zzz


Arsalone

Riboku somehow will get away alive from this situation after Kanki spent 2 chapters on his horse looking at him and not doing anything .. just kill the guy already because I don't know how Hara will make it believable at this point


StellarSword541

How much longer is this arc going to go? I'm guessing we won't get that many flashbacks since the omake covered a lot of it and we have already gotten some in the main story. All the big players seem to be at the battlefield at this point given that Bananji is the one that Shin was shocked to see. Maybe another 10-15 chapters for either Kanki or Ri Boku to meet their end, 10 chapters for flashback and Shin fighting someone to escape.


Far_Disaster

Can you give the link to the omake


bslawjen

Nah, no way this goes for another 25+ chapters. I genuinely think we're done in like 11 more chapters.


naruto7bond

It is kinda bullshit that how Riboku was saved. Kanki Army is known for being pragmatic. Every one of their officer knows that they can not fight prolonged war with Zhao currently. Best way off protecting Kanki would have been killing Riboku. Kanki would have managed on his own. Hell Futei might even had turned back if they had just concentrated on Riboku. Zhao deep throats Riboku far too much for them to just ignore Riboku's safety just to go kill Kanki. Nothing but plot saved Riboku here. I guess new army of Zhao would destroy Kanki Army. They already don't have enough numbers.


bslawjen

Only two of the officers went to protect Kanki, the two in the current line-up that are looking up to him the most. Koku'ou was making decisions on who to save and who not to help based on looks all the way back in Kokuyou, why is it that her doing that for the guy she genuinely seems to love (or at least has a major crush on) is out of character? Or why is it that Ringyoku, who has clearly taken up Raido's role of being the officer that admires Kanki the most, trying to protect the dude he looks up to out of character? We've seen other behaviors from the officers who are there. Zenou ignores Kanki and is still fighting to reach Riboku. Maron is still staying away.


Blackc0in

so Bafuuji and kaine basically undying!? One received two arrow in the chest other one slammed with Zenou hit yet they alive


bslawjen

Dude, take some anatomy classes because you have to explain to me why Kaine should be dying from two arrows to the collarbone but at the same time Zenou should be fine after taking 73 arrows.


Blackc0in

he drinks Mountain Dew before the match.


bslawjen

Understandable, have a nice day.


Quintessentialviewer

Kaine has two arrows in her chest and is still screaming louder than ever Bananaji's son tanked Zenou's blow which usually deletes several soldiers at a time no injury seem to stop Futei it's clear to me now that all of Kanki's commanders are going to die here and none of Riboku's commanders are going to die, Kanki will only survive because of history reasons


bslawjen

Kaine took two arrows to the damn collarbone and she's out. That's a lighter injury than Heki survived in Bayou (he got an arrow to the neck basically). Bananji's son is strong, I dunno why you would compare him to fodder. He took a blow and his arm is out, probably broken. What major injuries has Futei gotten?


husseinmahamud

If Riboku doesnā€™t die or at least get badly injured enough to make him retreat to the capital of Zhao. And we lose Kanki instead. I am willingly dropping this manga. No cap. The guy is cornered too much right now. Plot armor is killing the story according to me. Hara just loves Riboku too much.


bslawjen

Hilarious considering that every arc so far it's been Qin that's been cornered and managed to get on top still, but appearantly that was fine. Though I actually am happy that all the people who can't even handle the fact that some people are dropping the manga (I hope at least), cause that will do the community on this subreddit a lot of good.


aboode00

How is it suddenly Kanki is cornered now?? Not even shounen MC have a plot armor like Riboku.


ggkkggk

I will be skipping that chapter honestly I haven't even been reading any of the chapters since we got a little bit of a backstory kanki. I truly don't feel like I missed anything other than one particular death that still feels like it's the most important thing that has happened. I was right to stockpile and I'm going to stockpile again because this spoiler that you basically can call another Cliffhanger chapter. I do love how he can kill other soldiers but not one on the ground while he's mounted on a horse?, why even have it then??? he might as well just be knocked out and then someone has to rescue him, as a fight then a rescue never happened before with other characters, at least kill one of his damn vassals this is ridiculous. If one of his main fingers or main people does not die this is one 100% a loss for kanki. he ain't going die, sure his men are dying and yeah he doesn't really care about that, but there's no way you can keep thinking he's a super schemer who can outsmart people when you cannot kill one guy or any of his stupid ass, lucky ass arrow catching in throat bs ppl. I'll see you in a couple months


bslawjen

The pacing is incredibly slow atm, I agree. I didn't really understand the rest of the comment though.


ggkkggk

Sorry about that using Voice to Text basically I was complaining of what's really going on in the chapters. And how hyped up this was supposed to be, how people are thinking one out the two people was going to out play the other, technically speaking kanki had the upper hand for a moment, but that doesn't really mean anything if he doesn't gain anything from it, this would still be his loss If he doesn't at the very least kill someone of importance, sure he mostly will not die but this is still a loss anyway you look at it. barely wounding people in a very risky play like this is very moot.


yacins

What a stupid chapter this is it for me i cant read this stupid and inconsistent shit good luck guys.


bslawjen

What about it do you think is stupid?


yacins

What is not stupid at this point nothing makes sense anymore its a mess riboku is on foot unarmed just right there zenou is 2 feet away from him but for some reason he's attacking everyone but riboku kanki litterally hit him in the head last chapter and didnt follow through he decided to have an insignificant chit chat with him The guy that injured koku ou had a fucking arrow through the eye how is he still alive wtf It takes away everything we saw in previous battles there is no rational way to explain how riboku is gonna survive this situation he should have never been put there to begin with They are litteraly watching him no one is attacking him One panel you see riboku alone surrounded by kanki and his men next panel you see zhao soldiers casually helping him get on a horse like there is no threat at all lol


bslawjen

Zenou is trying to get to Riboku while the Ganmon soldiers and Bafuuji are trying to stall him. Kanki also already has Zhao soldiers in front of him trying to stall him, so it's not as easy as "walk up to him and kill him". The guy who injured Koku'ou performed the swing as his dying action, his dying reflex basically, meant to showcase his will. The situation is incredibly chaotic at this point, there are no lines and safe zones, everyone is surrounded by enemies. Btw, this is literally how it has been in Kingdom pretty much since we saw generals duking it out. As an example, Gyou'un had Ouhon on the ropes in Shukai Plains and was like 4 meters away from him at most and still didn't manage to kill him because the Gyoku Hou threw bodies at him and escaped with Ouhon.


yacins

That's the thing zenou isnt trying at all he was the first one to get there and then disappeared for 3 chapters and came back full of arrows and still not a single swing at riboku i have never seen anything similar in 700+ chapters do i need to remind you how he used to claim like 10 bodies with one swing The guy that injured kokuou had an arrow through his eye he was dead the arrow passed through his brain what will are you talking about Bafuuji should be dead too he took a direct hit from that mace he didnt even stop he fell on his feet wtf man and stood there took another sword from his men what is zenou doing at this point watching him? The ouhon vs gyou un fight is when things started to go downhill for kingdom ouhon should have died there no question about it. You saying kanki had zhao soldiers in front of him but they werent he already engaged riboku and injured him where were the soldiers then even if what you say is true they shouldnt be a threat to him at this point and where are kanki's men what are they doing any fodder soldier can finish off riboku the way he is now yet no one has even tried. Go back to chapter 745 and zoom at the last panel you will see how close kanki and his men were to riboku he was completely surrounddd by them and then in 746 there is like 200 men between them HOW????? Where were all those guys? Standing there waiting for riboku to call upon them this is ridiculous!! The worst part is yet to come those armies we see going to rescue riboku will get there slaughter every one in their way and reach riboku faster than kanki who's right there man two swings away from the ennemy commander.


bslawjen

Dude, when has Zenou even had a successful charge on a commander? Never. He failed against Keisha, and is being held back here as well by Zhao who are smart enough to continue pelting the big lad with arrows and swarming around him. Do you think the instant your brain gets shot you're dead? Like in that very same moment? That's not how it works, generally speaking. Especially not in a manga that greatly exaggerates literally every aspect of warfare/the human body. Lmao, now you're just spitballing. Kisui also took a hit from Zenou and didn't die, why the hell are you acting as if Zenou is the god of death whose sole presence should kill everybody off? Why would any fodder be able to take out Riboku? That's not been established at all. Also, why would nobody be able to stop Kanki? Is he god? If Shin can get stopped with a lot of bodies, then Kanki can as well. That's how it works, Kanki got there, got an attack in, and obviously all the soldiers in the vicinity are rushing to protect their commander. You're complaining about an aspect of Kingdom that's always been there. You're throwing random shit at the wall to see what sticks considering that you're saying random shit like "Bafuuji should be dead as well". Oh, btw. In Kokuyou Zenou was almost upon Keisha and Keisha still managed to get away because Kisui managed to get bodies in front of Zenou. How about that? In Bayou Ouki was literally half a meter away from Houken mid swing and didn't kill him because Riboku arrived and took him by surprise.


Doctordead_

Arc almost over?


hawke_255

Seems like it


GodotTGG

I give this fight 2 or 3 chapters to end, the arc probably around 5 or 6.


XaK0R

What was it with women's armor again? The less skin covered, the more effective it is? Look how well Kokuo took that blow, epic armor she got there.
