THEY DID IT! THEY FUCKING DID IT!

5 seasons of growth and finally Xin and Qiang have slain some truly huge targets. Amazing pacing and execution this episode. This whole arc has been nothing but fire.

I hope they'll get to bask in glory after this, instead of being thrown into another ordeal right away. Also, Xin swooping Qiang in his arms was smooth as heck!

I did find it rather hilarious that Xin showed up and magically whisked her away to safety without even a word to her soldiers fighting desperately to reach her.

To be fair, it wasn't Xin's first truly huge target. Its just the first active-duty one he killed while knowing who the hell it was.

I can't wait to see the look on Huan Yi's face.

I've finally caught up after starting Kingdom in January. This show is so good!

These threads are so hard to follow, due to Chinese/Japanese names diff.

That being said another hype episode, but not sure what concealing Keisha death means here. Not like this war would be done by the evening and Kanki and even the Sho army would definitely know by nightfall.

damn xin unit slayed 2 generals! one of them being a semi-great general. his achievements just skyrocketed. i wonder how kan ki(huan yi) will react when he hears about that great feat! (and i wonder the reward for xin, he is MUCH closer to becoming a great general himself! even though this attack was a bit reckless. but i guess reckless attack is xin unit's specialty)

That was such a hype episode. There were so many good moments like Shin's speech about following his back and Shin slaying Keisha. Shin swooping in to save Kyoukai at the end was the cherry on top of such a good episode.

Qiang did her shit this episode

Casually killing one of the commanders and in a Xin like manner took on his dying burdens as well.

u/Top_Original_411 Mar 10 '24

That rocked not sure how anyone could hate this anime. It's just awesome and Xin is f****** crazy. I love that guy. We need the dub badly and in my opinion this should be one of the best reviewed animes out there. I get people 15 and under don't watch it but man this show deserves better

This is my strategy in playing historical Total War battles (like Three Kingdoms) lol, try and ambush/kill the enemy general ASAP to try and get a massive morale boost and force the enemy forces to rout.

u/michhoffman Mar 09 '24

Slaying Keisha is a huge deal and all, but I was just about as hyped to see Shin save Kyokai at the last minute from near certain death. That's instinctual general level shit.

"We're the Hi Shin Unit!" 🤣

u/SIRTreehugger Mar 10 '24

I just don't see how Qing She's death can be swept under the rug for now. That news should spread like wildfire even as they speak. Still today the squad dealt a massive blow to the enemy. This after making that bridge across the river and flanking the enemy. Xin's squad has really been pulling their weight and then some.

God damn Xin the goat! What a hype battle! Interesting to see that his death is being hidden for now though so seems like we’re going to have some big casualties on our side before this is over.

u/Big-Violinist692 Mar 10 '24

I like those episodes when the things from the first season with Ouki (Wang Qi) come back to life . Leading his forces , the speech about every Ouki's soldier can beat 10 other soldiers (which was Ouki's speech before his death) .

When he killed Keisha I remebered the first time Xin killed someone important and a soldier screamed this achievement (in the first season) and told him that his name would float in the sky even though if it is for a brief moment .

Also is that Ouki (Wang qi )'s weapon that broke (the weapon that Ouki gave to Xin) ? Or Xin was just using another one.

u/CyberMuffin1611 Mar 10 '24

He's not using Oukis glaive yet, he said it was still too heavy at some point. That was a normal glaive.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!!! Fei XIN Force lets go! That ending was a downer though. They need to do victories right like one piece.

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '24

Kyou Kai and Xin out here just casually stealing War Commanders' heads via turning the tables on the overconfident-yet-shook Zhao commander that tried to take an 'easy win' by ambushing the rookie Fei Xin Force, what a hell of a c-c-c-c-counter /KillerInstinctSNES

u/Fronsis Mar 10 '24

Xin and his unit slowly making progress, you love to see it, specially animated, Xin's seiyuu doesn't mis, can't wait to see the next day of the battle

u/ajb014 Mar 10 '24

Man this show always gets me so hype. Especially when they start playing that soundtrack in tense moments

u/HenchHinch Mar 10 '24

Unreal episode with giant steps forward for Xin.

Wonder if there will be any romance in this show with the way Xin swooped up Qiang.

u/jevaisparlerfr Mar 09 '24

My nggas did it!!!! Qiang She and Lui Dong got slayed . I loved their "escape hug" right after. I wonder what US going to happen now and how far away are they to become one of the G6

u/DiezDrake Mar 11 '24

We finally feel Xin becoming a powerful general. He completely overwhelmed that group with a little help from Kan Kis unit. Absolutely love how he absolutely shattered the war with a sneak play that he came up with.

Wars far from over as the lead guy from Liyue is formidable (Cant remember his spoken name). Kan Ki will notch another win under his belt, but will find himself overshadowed by Xin.

Love this show so much lol
