Latest chapters have been awesome.
>>142820213
Indeed they have been. However since there is no lolis are cute girls doing cute shit Kingdom is never discussed here.
>>142820213
Gook scans are up as well.After almost executing Denyuu and the other guy, how will Kanki rationalise letting them go?
>>142820703
but ther are
>>142823099
>>142820703
Come next timeskip she's gonna be so thirsty for him you know it.
>>142823183
Shin's virginity has been pissing me off lately. I have a lingering suspicion that Shin only hates Kanki because he gets to fuck the women he brings to his camp and Shin doesn't.
>>142823358
RIP great general guy who died to Houken. I can't remember his name, but he was the best mentor a young soldier could ask for.
>>142823481
I like this guy the best. His sword work is retarded but really insanely funny.
>>142823358
Soon,hopefully
Those "night after the battle" comedic relief chapters could be exponentially improved with a little fucking or flirting together in their tent in the last few pages. But I doubt the author has the balls to do something like that. A hero must be a virgin (or have sex once around every 20 volumes), although I was hoping for a relationship like Ou Ki and Kyou.
I'd worship him if the author's balls were big enough to give Shin a Ten/Kyoukai bigamy. And Kingdom would be one of the greatest masterpieces of all time if he gets a Kyoukai/Ten/Unnamed political wife harem.
>>142823481
I can't remember his name either but he sure was amazing.
>>142823481
>>142827220
Duke Hyou
>>142823358
Kanki should have Shin rape a peasant girl and teach him the way of edge.
Why doesn't Kanki just tell his plans rather than keep smirking endlessly that his plans will work? It's obvious that he's going to kill the villagers just to get that beloved leader to give up their position just to stop the slaughter. It's sadistically brilliant but why not tell Shin about it rather than just tell everyone that everything is in the bag?
I honestly think this is the flaw Kaisha saw before dying. Probably what Riboku will use against Kanki to humiliate him.
Kanki is a genius and everything works to his advantage like he envisions, but if things don't do to plan, his troops don't know what to do and end up fending for themselves. That's a ridiculous amount of disarray among the troops.
>>142823358
I find it funny since it's keeping the virginity dense mindset from shonen despite being surrounded with murder everywhere.
>>142832235
Yeah, and Shin has a valid counterargument because of what he experienced with that creepy fucker Mangoku.
>it's keeping the virginity dense mindset from shonen despite being surrounded with murder everywhere.
I fully do not comprehend why Shin had that extra chapter rescuing a girl from her forced engagement and setting up a booty call. He didn't fuck her and there has been no indication that he has, even though he promised to visit her.
>>142831881
That's where the viking mercenaries went wrong with Thorfinn and look what that got us. Just fuck someone. You're on the battlefield and easy on the eyes. Shin or Thorfinn are like 100x hotter than any man roughly 99% of the women they meet would get to have consensual sex with in their lifetime.
Shin is such a faggot when it comes to things like this.
>>142832901
Shin doesn't have a valid counterargument because Kanki isn't doing pointless mass slaughter. He's killing the villagers because they're hiding weapons (allegedly) and the deaths of all those people will be used as a bargaining chip to win the battle with minimal loss. Plus Kanki is going to tell Shin that he's forcing everyone to accept a unified China when the reality will be a dictatorship. A peace through domination and fear, over a sea of blood and corpse.
If anything, Shin's the one being immature. I predict that Shin will have the highest honors of the battle for killing Keisha but won't feel it was an accomplished win after Kanki rubs it in that it was all according to keikaku.
>>142833048
u talkin sheit 'bout muh husbando?
>>142832901
wait, extra chapter? I may have missed it. Link?
>>142833048
Remember that chapter where Ten got kidnapped?
>Big scary General Rapist captures Ten
>"lol virgins"
>Shin rallies the new Hi Shin unit to lead a daring and dangerous rescue/negotiation
>Hi Shin unit like "why tho, she u woman m8?"
>"She's my family!"
>heroic music playing in the background
>nakama power
>"Oh hey Ten, you're back already. Good job."
>"(why didn't he ask me about my hymen...?)
>>142820213
I don't know why Shin is acting all surprised. Everyone in Qin knows this is what Kanki does and he even told him himself earlier. This is actually pretty small compared to burying 200,000 people alive like Qin did before to Zhao.
>>142833329
>"(why didn't he ask me about my hymen...?)
Because he doesn't ask the obvious. He even says ''yeah, I know''.
It's funny how most women in war (except maybe Karen) follow men to fuck them.
>>142833180
>Shin doesn't have a valid counterargument
Missed the point dumbass. Do you even remember Mangoku? He almost took the manga into the supernatural genre because of peasant killing.
Dude had like an army of ghosts behind him and was dangerous as fuck. That's what made Shin realize fair warfare, without pointless slaughter, is the only way to prevent monsters like Mangoku from being created, and threatening the peace of China after unification.
Also my suspicion is that Sei sent Shin with Kanki so that Shin would tame Kanki because Sei, while disapproving of his methods, can't get rid of such an impressive military mind who holds such pull with raiders and the like.
>>142833373
>200,000 people alive like Qin did before to Zhao.
It was 400,000 actually. But just because it happened in the past doesn't mean Shin can't try to enforce bullshit standards.
>>142833507
>Mangoku
Oh, wrong guy, yeah the creepy guy who continued the cycle of violence.
Yeah I guess you're right. Still, the method Kanki used will end the battle to his favor.
>>142833461
>He even says ''yeah, I know you've become addicted to the giant cocks of fat balds, you don't need to say anything".
ftfy
>>142833569
>I guess I'll have to become stronger and become a general under the heaven so that my dick will pierce the heavens and you'll become addicted to my dick.
>>142833511
It's the "I can't get worked up trying to save people to my left and my right, I can only save the people in front of me." mentality that a lot of battle manga MCs are using these days.
>>142823358
I always kinda assumed Shin lost his virginity a while ago to some whores.
>>142833686
He'll probably keep his virginity until he becomes a great general under the heavens.
>>142833738
I mean, he's always just so blase about the fanservice moments, I figure he's probably already been there, done that.
>>142833738
I just want him to have a kid like Sei does. I want to see his fucking estate already. At least a hefty 40-50 pages of SOL would tide me over for the next 40 tankoubons of ARGGGGGGGH SLASH
>>142833799
THE CONQUEST TRAIN HAS NO BREAKS
Its kinda sad that Shin and Kyoukai killing the 2 generals was downplayed just like that. no mention of it again. it was a huge blow to the enemy army
>>142834070
Does Kanki's leadership even know they were downed?
>>142834120
I don't think so. Nobody knows Keisha is dead yet, unless Kanki guessed it somehow. But he certainly wouldn't know Shin killed him.
>>142834347
I expect Kanki will probably forgive them for insulting him when he's told Shin and co effectively decapitated the enemy force in a single strike. Hell, he'll probably shift tactics from killing villagers to lure out the defenders to a more aggressive stance in order to exploit that massive, glaring weakness. Or hell, maybe he already knows and doesn't give a shit.
>>142834120
Shin will reveal it next chapter.
>>142820213
Shin's moralfag speeches have been obnoxious.
>>142820703
Is this your first day or something? Kingdom comes up all the fucking time.
>Hara will probably die before Sei finally conquers China
>>142835037
Another 10 years is nothing.
>>142835459
~10 years took over 400 chapters, and those ~10 years were a calm period compared to actually DURING the unification. They've just only started to invade the BORDER of one of several neighboring nations.
>>142835582
I wonder how Shin will ever look that big.
>>142835582
That mouth really looks out of place.
>>142835676
>>142833180
>Plus Kanki is going to tell Shin that he's forcing everyone to accept a unified China when the reality will be a dictatorship.
Mate, what do you think the different states are? No one's living in democracies here. Even if Kanki weren't a bandit, I doubt that sort of argument would come from his lips.
I'd guess he'll accuse Shin's unification of directly and indirectly causing damages on a far greater scale than Kanki ever could. While sitting in self-righteousness. If Kanki's different clans are people who fled and became bandits due to other wars, it could fit with his backstory.
>>142833180
I'm waiting for Kanki to tell Shin his hand gets cut off, due to the agreement, then Shin drops the bomb of killing Keisha.
Then I expect the story about the three but now two generals from the villagers story coming from Kyoukai telling Kanki how he fucked up by targeting the villages. He could have had a demoralized enemy, but with the killing of innocents riling up the remaining two, the battle is now far from over.
>>142835582
After Chu is beaten I guess he'll speed up things since it's just steamrolling after that.
>>142836943
Chu will be 2nd to last after Zhao
It'll probably go Wei-Yan-etc..
>>142835665
I've always loved how perspective and size is used to indicate a character's power level in Kingdom.
When will Shin and Kyoukai fuck???
He's almost 30 damnit, he needs some pussy
>>142837375
>>142837414
He's only 21 player, in comparison he's around the same age as Guts though.
>>142837375
I like that Shin basically already has a start up great general underlings with Kyoukai and Ten.
It's pretty cool that the recent chapters showed how good he is as an instinctual general while ten complements him on the strategic front. And Kyoukai is both combined.
>>142837659
this image makes my penis tingle
>>142837425
>>142837659
He'll never get to fuck her and have a child until a lot later though, because if she's pregnant she can't be on the battlefield
>>142835582
>and those ~10 years were a calm period
There's such things as time skips anon.
Kingdom pacing is nothing compared to The Ravages of Time. Even at the break neck speed that Chen Mou goes through the events, it still seems unlikely to ever reach the finish line.
>>142835582
Yeah the story is gonna be long as fuck if it's not rushed
I'm glad
>>142837880
True. 99% of the time when a shounen/seinen MC finally gets to stick their flaky uncut dick into the sweet flower of the female lead said lead will become pregnant (guess they're premature ejaculaters or something).
Maybe that's the reason harem protags don't fuck their harem, because they'd be facing the demon lord with a bunch of 5-9 month pregnant support characters.
Given that Kyoukai and Shin are basically the poor peasant version of Kyou and Ouki, what makes everyone think they get a happy ending?
>>142838115
Because they're the poor peasant version.
>>142838115
Kyoukai doesn't have to do some dumb bullshit like capture 100 cities before they're ally to be together
>>142838115
History says Shin survives and his descendants apparently cared enough to keep his last name, though it could have obviously been fabricated to make themselves more important.
Kyoukai basically vanishes after the invasion of Zhao. It's possible that she'll die along with everyone elsein Chu after everyone gets massacred.
>>142837848
i wish i could remember even what happened to ryofui now, probably dead already
>>142838014
How is she so cute?
This is the best pairing of any manga I can remember.
>>142838307
They have to wait for his trial to kill him. 6 months.
>>142838307
Nothing happens to him for awhile. He gets exiled and then takes some poison to kill himself.
Has anyone else read the ghetto scans of the latest chapter?
>>142838177
War cares not for class.
>>142838201
Refer to >>142838219
>>142839180
fuckin heavy shit, man
>>142839440
What's frightening is that Kanki (or his right hand man) expected this to happen and had it all planned in advance.
It's one thing to expect Shin to moralfag, it's something else to have Bihei on standby to complicate the situation and take the heat off Kanki.
>>142839576
Shin's gettin played aaaaaagh
>>142834120
>>142834347
>>142834566
>>142834913
I thought it Kanki found out a few chapters ago when he had that clan torture some captured troops or something. That's why Kanki decided to give up the hill because he learned their trump card was dead and the whole army was acting differently.
>>142839576
They've been around the block a few times with this. It was heavily foreshadowed when they mentioned armies that work with Kanki end up disappearing and then how swapping soldiers is a tradition in the Kanki army.
They basically sling mud on both sides to ensure no one can get the moral high ground.
>>142840154
>>142839852
>>142834120
>>142834347
fff.
>>142840043
Sure, but I always imagined it was for the sake of keeping a tight leash. If generic army A fucks up, Kanki's transfers can lure them into a trap. Or if the army wants to moralfag, Kanki can just turn the generic army transfers into hostages.
>>142840323
That works too, but I doubt that was the case this time given how they picked Bihei who as far as Naki knew, was a god damn nobody.
>>142837425
The world 5'11'' men have to live in.
>>142820213
I will be using this
>>142840885
Not at all. Bihei said outright he's one of their longest serving soldiers.
Is there any chance of Kanki getting BTFO soon? He has the cockiest face I want to see it when he gets fucked.
>>142840191
>tortured fuck loads of prisoners and still didn't find out that one of the most prominent tacticians in China got slain
He should stop fucking eyeballs for a change and actually try using his ears.
>>142841421
Nah. Kanki has the same chances of being shown all sobby and repentant as the NTRguy from a shoujo manga does.
>>142841421
In historyhe later gets BTFO by Riboku personally and bails his ass to bumfuck nowhere to prevent being punished for losing.
>>142842819
They didn't know. Only the top Zhao generals and the troops closest to the dead general knew about it and they did everything to keep the information from leaking. The ones fighting near Kanki wouldn't have known.
>>142842893
>It's all Shin and Sei's Keikaku.jpg
>>142841421
Kanki is at the same level as The Six Great Generals. I think only Karin, Renpa and Riboku can defeat him.
>>142842947
No excuse for that. Torture a man well enough and he'll tell truths that he didn't even know were true.
>>142842976
>dudes who were torturing people since they were kids would be dumb enough to not to be able to tell if they are lying or not
>Specially after torturing all the villages
>>142842949
Unlikely butit's rather impressive how Riboku manages to fend off Qin practically single handed, despite Zhao being struck with a fucking earth quake before the invasion. Guy is immortalized as one of the top 4 generals of the warring states era.
>>142842848
I don't care about his repentance. All I want is to see his anal devastation after he gets raped.
>>142842893
Can't wait. How long away is it in history? I hope his own men torture him. Preferably the Saki clan.
>>142842959
>Karin
She's there for tits
Nothing else
>>142843010
>How long away is it in history?
I actually am quite clueless on what the current year in the manga is unfortunately. This current war is not recorded in the records so it's purely fictional, and well I no longer remember the few sections where it kinda tells you how many years it's been since the rebellion.
I mean I don't even know how far along Ryofui's trial is, so yeah.
>>142842959
I wonder where Shin's power level is at. I'd think a fully rested Shin would be able to fight Houken at this point with a 45:55 spread.
I'd imagine he could kick Kanki's ass in a 1v1.
I really wish him and Kyoukai would have a kid already, that'd be some eugenics shit that would rock the fucking world. Shin's stamina and Kyoukai's prodigal skills.
>>142843067
There's a chart with everyone's power levels floating around somewhere
But Shin won't beat Houken until later when he can use Ouki's glaive
>>142843104
That's one's pretty old by now though right?
>>142843128
I think that was from the time of Coalition Invasion.
>>142843050
That's ok. Thanks for the heads up. If I see Riboku showing up, I'll get excited.
>>142843367
Shiiiit that was before the timeskip and glaive.
>>142843128
Updated power levels are around if you can Google. But if you just wants numbers and no scans
>Shin: 91+a (Previously 90+a)
>Kyoukai: 96+Mega A (Previously 95+Big A)
Everyone else I forgot, but Kyoukai is basically capable of being temporary Houken tier if not stronger at this point, so long as she's willing to become a cripple afterwards for god knows how long.
I wonder if Kyoukai is still stronger than Shin
>>142843518
>>142843523
That answers that
>>142843523
In short term engagements she is easily the strongest in the series, but because warfare usually is about the campaign, you rarely get to see her in peak condition, if ever.
Shin on the other hand is this freak of nature.
Plus Kyoukai naturally would help Shin out to get ahead, since Kyoukai would feel it's easily doable to gain credit for herself anytime she wants anyways. It'd be hard to stay under the HSU when she ranks higher than Shin and has a bigger army.
>>142843823
>In short term engagements she is easily the strongest in the series, but because warfare usually is about the campaign, you rarely get to see her in peak condition, if ever.
>Shin on the other hand is this freak of nature.
I loved how they showed this off in the series - her and Shin training, Kyo slashes his arm but Shin just flexes his muscles to close the wound.
>>142844038
Well he is historicallyRiboku's nephew. But in the manga he is an orphan, and the only theory of how he gets in the Ri clan is through marriage/adoption with the palace girl's friend who is conveniently part of a military family of which the history Ri Shin / Li Xin is born from. Chances are this is how Shin will get justification to be granted the title of general or great general despite being a slave boy or some shit.
>>142844038
I've been waiting for Shin to trying imitating that Ton Ton Ton thing Kyoukai does again. He tried it once during their first few chapters of bonding/sparring.
I think it must be Kingdom's version of Kaio-ken.
>>142843523
>stronger
I mean, if you call that strength. It appears to me that Kyoukai wouldn't have nearing enough to stamina to outmatch Shin if they ever seriously went at it. She's like a sprinter who can only run 10 of the 100 meters and then has to jog the rest. I wouldn't consider a sprinter like that to be particularly "fast".
>>142844382
>I've been waiting for Shin to trying imitating that Ton Ton Ton thing Kyoukai does again. He tried it once during their first few chapters of bonding/sparring.
No he didn't. He asked her to teach him, but she said he doesn't have the body for it.
>>142844433
But all it takes is a few exchanges for her to kill Shin if they really go at it. The difference is that when Kyoukai goes for real she isn't exactly in fine control over life and death because she's pushing herself to the limit.
Shin spars basically with the intention to kill, cause he's inferior and has complete faith in Kyoukai, not to mention he doesn't exhibit ridiculous speed nor power, simply a lot of guts and fortitude. He's in a lot better position to go all out without worrying about not being able to hold back.
A deep dance Kyoukai would murder Shin with ease.
>>142844718
>all it takes is a few exchanges for her to kill Shin
>a few exchanges
>killing Shin
Stopped reading right there. Shin will survive a nuclear holocaust.
>>142844747
He does it because history wills it, by your logic Sei would survive a straight up with Houken. It doesn't make Sei capable of fending Houken off.
The series is very consistent in it's power levels amusingly enough. Kingdom has a 90%+ accuracy rate when judging battles with the data book numbers, and the only exceptions so far are Ouki vs Houken and Duke Hyou vs Houken both using the power of MUH WEIGHT, but even that is simply a mere misunderstanding if you actually pay attention.
Houken was being a retard and assumed his shallow wounds meant nothing, but obviously that was never the case, and Ouki not only is mounted but has a pole arm while enraged while Houken has a few holes in his body bleeding out. Naturally there was also the point that Houken wasn't actually as strong as Ouki at that point, but he basically reflected and only addressed a single point of his problems.
The standards Houken put on himself at that time was being absolutely invincible, and he acts like a man child about it, instead of being realistic about it. What comes out of that is his obsession with Ouki, leading to his inability to control his emotions which leads to his body not performing as he trained it to.
It's practically spoon fed by Riboku himself during Bayou, but Riboku can't tell him, cause it's also hinted that Houken's personality may be closer to the likes of Shin than that of a path seeker. While he can go full blooded killing machine like Kyoukai, he doesn't have the means to prevent people from stirring his heart and breaking him out of 'the zone' which is what the priestess dance does.
Ironically it's because of Houken's obsessive personality that he's able to achieve the training he does, putting forth Ouki as his goal.
>>142825127
Historically Kyoukai was a man, so it will be ten or some nameless girl. Could be a bigamy too though, but the developement seems to be going towards Ten romance and Kyoukai rivalry, though frankly they could also go for a Ouji mirror thing. Either way I doubt Ten gets left out should romance be introduced.
Ten and Shin have no chemistry for a relationship.
I honestly think it would be cool if she becomes his advisor while Shin and Kyokai are the main general couple.
>>142845064
They have the best chemistry. She's literally the level head in the relationship. It's like the Revy Rock relationship, ones a weapon, the other uses the weapon.
>>142845110
Sounds more like a Toguro brother relationship
>>142845159
I mean there is obviously the sibling relationship of the beginning part of the story, but it's obvious that Ten will be at least an aspect of any romantic relationship with Shin. They wouldn't just completely cuck her.
Also historically Kyou was a man, so I doubt they'd change the history that hard.
>>142845110
Except Shin has feeling for Kyokai not Ten. Look Ten is smart and has a tsundere personality but she is too young for the guy.
>>142845232
>too young
not in that era. Shes almost christmas cake material
I know Shin is heading down the instinctual general route but would it kill the author to give him mentors along the way to improve his schemes and brain power? I like his aggressive bull rush method like the next guy but a little change in how economical he is would be good for the character. Don't get me wrong, I don't want him on the level of Riboku but just smarter in battle and not sacrifice half his fucking army.
>>142845232
Shin has feelings for any girl that shows romantic interest in him.
>>142845328
Speaking of interest in him, why isn't he getting swooned by a bunch of chicks in his home country?
>Good looking
>Tall
>Powerful
>Next stop in being a general
>Respected by his men
Shin should be having fan girls all over him but we don't see that.
Also would it kill the author to show Shin getting adjusted to having money and status now every now and then?
>>142845383
Hasn't he had a couple of people swooning on him and him acting all giggly? I feel like I've seen that scene but maybe it was in Vinland or Historie or something.
>>142837375
he just has a lot of souls
>>142844933
>Sei would survive a straight up with Houken
He would thought.
>>142845029
Ten may get stuck with that manlet from tactician school.
>>142833569
Ka "BBC" Ryo Ten
>>142844933
Can Sei close wounds by flexing? Can Sei receive gashes 4 inches deep and brush it off 5 pages later? You completely missed the point of the post.
>>142845029
I want both of them dyingin Chuand for Shin to hook up with palace girl.
Someone theorized that Shin needs to marry an important military person in order to become an influential great general, and that he apparently changes his name to something else. Since we don't know the palace girl's last name, it's an interesting reveal.
>>142845813I'd actually imagine that happens. I can see a harem with Ten and Kyoukai happening along with that though. That seems to not be a big deal in this era
>>142845496
Exactly.
>>142845724
None of those matter given the disparity between Kyoukai on Mega A. Shin gets stronger as he gets more heated up, he would die before he can mount any sort of real retaliation against Kyoukai, should this hypothetical situation come to pass.
The fact that Houken while in bushin mode aka no distractions was having trouble fending off 94+Big A Kyoukai should give you ample understanding of just how impossible the match up would be for Shin. To put it even further, Kyoukai's current alpha is the very same that allowed a battered and beaten Kyoukai to dominate 95+Big A Yuuren, who was tied for the second/first strongest character in the series with her.
Shin's greatest advantage is in his endurance in a mud fight. What difference does that make when he has no way to prevent his head from coming off his neck? You're basically saying Shin is a machine gun and he has a lot of ammo, how does it matter when Kyoukai is a sniper rifle and kills you in the first shot?
This is also the same series where guys like Denyuu and Ryuusen can get 5 inch deep wounds and be peppered with arrows and still stay alive. The same series where guys like Houken and Denyuu can have their neck arteries cut and still be fine with some cloth bandages.
Don't over exaggerate Shin's prowess due to his healing powers.
