This was awesome. A great king standing above the people and leading in charge with sheer determination.

That's the type of character a war needs. Ei Sei truly is one of kind that the people deserves. And Shin is probably awesome too with his determined attitude.

Another episode filled with blood pumping scenes!

Imagine books and music and movies being filtered and homogenized. Certified. Approved for consumption. People will be happy to give up most of their culture for the assurance that the tiny bit that comes through is safe and clean. White noise.

That episode was so fucking awesome, and I'm as gassed up as those civilians from Sai with these final 7 episodes to come after this setup. The heart that Ei Sei showed as a leader with his speech to inspire the civilians (including women and children) to lay down their lives to protect Qin and not let its history be vanquished by the Coalition army and Riboku, the confrontation between Shin and Riboku before all hell broke loose, the tactics already shown with both sides, and so much more. The Sawano/Yamamoto music only added so much more to the adrenaline rush and the atmosphere inspired by such a simple yet great speech from the King himself, reflecting the emotions of those civilians beautifully. Panicked yet inspired to protect the kingdom's future, particularly since those ordinary civilians got to see their king in front of their very eyes, and granted the honor to fight beside him for the glory of their kingdom (even Ei Sei interacting with the child willing to fight for the sake of his mother and baby sister while his dad was already fighting in the army beforehand made the whole ordeal feel magical despite the tough situation).

This season of Kingdom despite the censorship issues still lingering around has been phenomenal, and I can't wait for these upcoming episodes to complete what's been such an amazing experience.

Nothing like the good ol motivational speech-no-jutsu to boost the testosterone levels of a whole crowd of inexperienced civilians.

5/5.

Xin's speech gave me goosebumps. The strength in his voice is incredible.

meanwhile the King's speech is uninspiring at all. It has no power in it.

Zhengs speech was one of the best I've ever seen in anime. Xin of course got me pumped and made me laugh. Such a damn shame that so many people are missing out on this masterpiece.

Another week, another incredible episode. Does this show ever stop delivering?

Started with Zheng's (Sei) speech to rally the civilians giving me goosebumps all over my body. Then Li Mu (Riboku) comes in with a speech to demoralize the troops on the wall by mentioning that Pang (Houken) is the one leading the charge, sending chills down my spine. Only to be countered by Xin's speech followed by the cheers from the troops.... All in all this episode had me in goosebump mode from start to finish.

Absolutely incredible...

KINDOM always get our blood pumping!

1. Even LI MU finds it as a 'Great-General level' caliber of crowd control, although he doesn't know that it was the King himself.

2. It felt like the story has not one protagonist. That's a great thing.

3. Good to see XIN is in action.

4. How funny it would be if LI MU were to get defeated by an army of civilians! (I don't know who wins, so please don't spoil!)

A wonderful start to the fight, many speeches and lifts. However, Sei's speech was very good. I liked that Ri Boku tried to scare everyone in town and hand her over, but what she saw Shin gave her a boost boosted everyone's morale, according to Shin's words at the beginning of the fight. Magnificent I can't wait for the next episode with the fight, splendid.

ei sei's speech was hard facts straight on given to them but with some sweet words too telling them to rise up and fight like the forefathers who did in order to create the powerful kingdom/state Chin (Qin). That was impressive I am satisfied but I wouldn't fight. I am so unpatriotic...I know myself I wouldn't fight. The battlefield is unpredictable. Whether you are loved by the heavens or not, you will find out after you survive or got a sword, arrow or spear in your guts. I would join any good nation but I wouldn't fight for them. Call me names but I love my life.

And there's Ri Boku going like I admire you oh courageous civilians but you know nothing of the battlefield so yh..let's break your spirits

Shin's speech or more like yelling is way better. That will show them!

Damn damn damn.... DAMN IT!!! this is all so fucking frustrating, they are gonna barely even make it with such inexperienced or dead beat people. Its hard to see xin have to carry all that burden of being surrounded by such amateur's. But yea that was one hell of a speech and xin did a great job too. SHIT now I feel like fighting for them.

Behold of my awesomeness~

After Sei's incredible speech, Shin light up the fire beneath them once again. No way they're going to surrender to Ri Boku's small advice to give everything up. This is what I love about Kingdom. Everyone has a reason to fight and protect their "Kingdom" even if it means standing in front of your death.

I wish the Byzantine Empire had the same kind of morale when it made its last stand back during the Battle of Constantinople in 1453. We'd still have the Roman Kingdom in Greece & Anatolia to this day. So much better than the Republic of Turkey.

What an intense episode.
Sei entrance was more than enough to change their morale.
And Shin that dumbass, can he just shut his mouth, when Sei is giving speech
those npcs.
I'm really enjoying Sei as chara rn. Hope he gets more scenes like this in future.
