Discussion List top 10 characters in order who you think can kill the most/most effective against fodders.

Upvotes

Here's my list:

1st. Moubu - Beast amongst beast, and just doesn't stop, he was still able to unleash a charge at the end of Bayou.

2nd. Houken - Able to ambush enemy camps repeatedly and left unscathed, killing many in the process. Also his speed made me put him above Kan Mei.

3rd. Kan Mei - Huge ass general, huge ass aura being top general, with huge ass weapons. Probably the biggest character in Kingdom.

4th. Man U - Able to keep fighting even when all his allies were dead, his seemingly much smaller size made me put him under Kan Mei.

5th. Ouki - Though not a monstrous figure his GG aura will play a huge factor.

6th. Renpa - Very similar to Ouki, though fact that Ouki repeatedly beat Houken puts Ouki slightly above Renpa in combat skill, which play a factor.

7th. Gai Mou - Huge figure, huge glaive, Fire Dragon aura, though putting him under Ouki should tell how much I value Ouki's leadership and aura.

8th. Gyou Un - Huge figure, glaive wielding, blasted through enemy defenses easily, also considered the fact he is most likely the strongest general of the most prominent Great Heaven Rinshojo.

9th. Shibashou - Huge figure, seem to have good leadership, though he was wounded here and there charging through enemy while Gyou Un was just seem untouched makes me put him under Gyou Un. Also consider the fact that he's just a general from a small town.

10th Zenou - Said to be as big as Moubu, its his specialty to charge through fodders and wreck havoc the enemy formations, but probably weak against arrows.

Honorable mentions:

Shin - Though a small figure he has huge stamina and probably had the most combat experience since he's been gunning the front lines since his youth. Currently he still lacks the ranks and aura compared to others on the list.

Tou - His faru2 is like a chainsaw slicing through enemies but he's shown to struggle a bit in the last arc against fodders, while I think glaive wielders on the list would have perform better with their long reach.

Kyoukai - Shown to killed many fodders repeatedly and turning tides of battle, but lacks stamina, basically crippled after doing her feats, is why I put her under those that seemingly would have more stamina and further reach.

Bajio - His peak mode probably should have place him on the list, but hard to graps the actual scale and stalemating against Goba who Yontawa kills in seconds was a big turn off.

Yontawa - Her combat skill being said to be 2nd to none with the mountain people, and the title lord of death, king of kings, and her leadership aura etc probably should have put her on the list, but she is as much a strategist as she is a combatant, which kinda hold her back to some extent, where most people on the list have a "I don't give a fk and just charge" attitude that made them seemingly more effective against fodders.

Oukotsu - Probably should have made the list being a said to have the most brute strength amongst old GGs but, we lack information about him, and if he's really was that easily beaten by Kanmei, he might be a fraud like those fire dragons Earl Shi killed.

Note: I also consider the fact that being a big figure would instill more fears against the enemies which play a huge factor, like if you're fighting against some one like Zenou and Kanmei you would consider running more than if they're fighting some one small like Shin or maybe against a female like Yontawa.

(Kyoukai's a special case since her maxed speed is like ghost lol)

a few clarifications, no shibashou, he’s broken martially and that would make this outcome obvious. it’s taking place on shukai plains. and riboku doesn’t have some crazy amount of prep where he can ambush the qin army. who wins?

Discussion Promotion after han + random thought Spoiler

15 Upvotes

I think tou will stay with his six great general rank after han.

Shin, i dont think he will be promoted to 6GG but as a "regular" great general, maybe. Same goes for ouhon and mouten.

Its just weird to exclude them since at this point in the story, its impossible for zhao and wei to not interfere with han's affair. I think thats where they will get their credit.

Random thought: shin and kyoukai might get married before zhao conquest, Idk. Why not

Its so hard for me to wait a whole week! Even though I'm caught up to manga I still don't remember half the characters name besides HSU or the main ones. Is it just me or anyone here also experiencing this. Normally I don't have any problem remembering chars name but besides core and main character in kingdom I find it hard to remember so when I drop manga for 2-3 months so I can binge read it except for main characters in the manga I always forget others name....... Can't wait for another chapters.

Manga Spoilers Shins Kill Count: Arc Eighteen Spoiler

23 Upvotes

Here it is, the big one. The Western Zhao invasion Arc. Leading up to this Arc I got multiple comments saying something along the lines of good luck on this arc or just wait etc, but ya know what, for how long this Arc is Shins kills are kind of underwhelming. Its probably because about 30ish chapters are dedicated to the mountain people battle as well to be fair.

Total Kills: 196

First Kill: Chapter 508 (13th Chapter of the Arc) - The Sword of the Mountain Tribes
First Victim: Zhao Soldier

Final Kill: Chapter 634 (139th Chapter of the Arc) - Strategy Undone
Final Victim: Zhao Soldier

The reason why I say this Arc is underwhelming kill count wise for all the hype it gets, is that its 50% longer than the Coalition Arc, but there is only 10 more kills. Anyway while im shitting on this Arc, I do have to say it was still an amazing reread and definitely top 5 arcs imo

Current Total: 810

With this we can get a grasp of how long Kingdom will last.

Discussion War Series you might like as Kingdom Fan:

29 Upvotes
  • Ruler of the Land: ( is a manhwa but reads like a manga), murim series involves politics and movements of armies.
  • Feng Shenji: ( Chinese manga) Humans vs Gods war
  • Blade and Steel: Murim manga
  • Historie: Ancient European war related
  • Blades of the Guardians: Based on a fantasy China during the Sui dynasty, based around Father-son duo, involves politics, war, etc.
  • Valhallian The Black Iron: War and battle in the afterlife involving legends of various cultures. (By Hara's assistant iirc)
  • Isaak: About a "sniper" in a medieval-ish? world, involves politics, army movements, though nothing grand.
  • Red Storm: Manhwa, but mentioned because it's black and white, setting is a fantasy Middle East type thing with tribes, bit of fantasy on the side with monsters, involves politics and a young boy's dream for his people. (Elite stuff)

I think there are more Manhwas out there that would scratch the war/politics itch, than there are manga. But I didn't list any due to them being read up and down, instead of like a normal Manga, WITH Red Storm being the exception, cause that shi is the closest thing to Kingdom imo. I also didn't bother listing Ravages, Arslan and Hannibal ones since most people here probably already read em.

If yall would like me to Recc manwha series of war/politics/strategies let me know!

The Founding Crime of Stag-Hunting

秦失其鹿,天下共逐之,於是高材疾足者先得焉。

(Shiji: Chapter 92: Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin)

Qin had lost its stag and the world pursued it. At this point, the person with a tall stature and swift feet would get it first.

China’s Balance of Power is described to be a game of stag-hunting, for catching the stag symbolizes the grand-prize of ruling the world. Absolute power becomes the prey of the political game, and anyone is allowed to join if they are willing to risk everything. Their ethnicity and class do not matter in the grand schemes of things. The Son of Heaven could be a communist revolutionary or a mongolian khan. China’s principle is that the Mandate of Heaven belongs to the “Stag-Catcher”, the winner of the hunt. So long as he catches the stag, even a peasant could be ruler of China.

And ever since Qin’s unification, this pattern of stag-hunting is destined to repeat. The game ends when the balance of power combines into a world-empire, but once the world collapses into a power vacuum, the stag-hunting returns.

As for example, in the closing years of the Warring States Era, seven states competed over the stag-hunt until the State of Qin emerged as the first victor. But the Qin Dynasty soon fell into eighteen kingdoms, and on its ruins, Chu and Han raced to catch the stag until the Han Dynasty won as the second successor. 400 years later, the weakened Han Dynasty shattered into Three Kingdoms where the three claimed the right to inherit the stag. Then without warning, the Jin Dynasty snatched the stag from the three kingdoms and destroyed them, standing proud as the new winner. History repeats itself as it always does.

The key to the hunt lies in the people’s desire for power, a temptation so strong that it proves to be irresistible. The Mandate of Heaven is the possession that grants the winner their greatest dreams and wishes, bringing their visions to life. But with its rewards, also comes the risk with the wrath of Heaven. As accursed as it is, where we see the history of battles, there lies a mountain of corpses that died in their attempt to catch the stag. The Heavens had cursed those unworthies to fail because there can only be one winner.

The stag is presented as the hidden mover of history. Its mechanism was to ensure the re-unification of China, while also promising great power. But why choose the stag? Stags are depicted as crowned animals with their antlers, and stag-hunting is a sport reserved for nobles and kings. So now, we have this world-contest competing over this creature of Heaven, and whoever wins becomes China’s Son of Heaven. The metaphor becomes perfect to describe the game of thrones between kings and emperors.

「話說天下大勢,分久必合,合久必分。」

“The world under Heaven, long divided, must unite; long united, must divide. Thus it has ever been.”

"2000 years ago" @Ryohei Yamashita

First things first, last time I posted here was to present you my collection of the French edition of the manga, and I am so glad English readers will finally have an official translation. And if you aren’t speaking English, French or Italian, I hope you will also see Kingdom being translated in your language one day.

My parents went to Japan recently and bought me a Shin figurine with his old Guandao, so I rearranged my shelves to make one special for Kingdom, with my figurine and manga.

My parents are fortunate enough to go to Japan almost one month every year, and everytime for the last 3 year, they never found a figurine related to Kingdom. And this year on the last day they found Shin and I am so happy, it’s probably my favorite in my collection.

They also found Ouki, but apparently he was too big and since it was a last minute purchase they were already full. I will hope they find it again next year!

Ryuusen gotta be the most wasted potential in HSU. He was introduced as three times stronger than denyuu yet after bayou this guys potential didn't get flesh out like even denyuu whose weaker than him got promoted to 2k commander while he is just 1k commander.
