Truly, some of the leaders in this series are revolutionary. It takes charisma to lead armies and I see that in this episode.

The Shin Unit found themselves in trouble and be cornered. As usual, natural terrain and strategies are planned ahead. Shin and his unit still made the bold move to attack forward tough. never straying from their goal. Not going to lie, I always enjoying battles involving them.

Btw I noticed that only in Kindom, the first second or so of every episode is completely silent. I wonder why.

The one complaint I have with these subs is that they are translating names without Chinese characters, like Zenou and Ogiko, as if they were Chinese (Ze Nuo, Wu Yi Hu). I'd rather have them as they are. (Just to clarify, I prefer Chinese names of everyone else, like Huan Yi and Qing She)
And btw I think that names like that exist because this is before the standardization of the characters, so they are meant to represent other various Chinese languages/dialects.

OH QIANG LEI!
No way, this ended too fast.
I loved the perspectives from the Liyan residents. There is no right or wrong, everyone is fighting for what they believe is right. It breaks my heart knowing that Liyan will most probably be destroyed.

Absolutely awesome episode. A rollercoaster of emotions from start to finish with a strong cliffhanger in Kyou Kai's return to the battle, and we haven't even gotten to the climax yet. Loved how Ki Sui was portrayed in the episode at the village, indicating that they are in massive trouble but still are believing in Ki Sui no matter what, and to be fair, it shows well in his character. Again, love how Qin isn't just portrayed as the 'good' nation and the others are portrayed as 'bad' automatically, they're just fighting for who they represent and what they believe in regardless of what kind of characters are there. Felt like so much was happening by the end there with Keisha managing to escape from Kan Ki's plans thanks to Ki Sui, Ryuu Tou and Ba Tei but the Hi Shin Unit also acted as a surprise foil to take down Kei Sha's group, and much more. Good to see Shin rely more on his own instincts this time around to go directly at Kei Sha and take his head during their escape amidst all the chaos. The music was terrific in this episode too, just made everything even more exciting in the process. The mixture of wits, brawn and big-scale battles is what makes Kingdom's action in the manga special and while the anime will never be able to replicate the quality of the art the manga has, seasons 3-5 can still have its own ways of creating battles that just ooze excitement, tension and pure adrenaline. Next week's episode should be a blast.

Loved Kyou Kai coming back at the very end of the episode. It was back and forth and you never really know which direction this show is going until it happens. I’m so happy to be able to watch this show 😁 looking forward to next weeks episode!

You know an anime is good when you find yourself cheering for both sides.

It was nice to see Xin strategize the next move and target Qing She. I felt as pumped up as they were.

Love to see Qiang Le back. Would be cool if she got the enemy strategist's head this time.

This harkens back to the Fei Shin's Force's specialty and the reason it was created: To be an arrow to slay generals!

I really have no idea if it is going to succeed or fail, the palpable tension and knowing that it really could go any direction is amazing to watch. Can watch hour episodes and be hooked the whole time.

Finally Qiang Lei is back, and at the moment Xin needs her most! Since she was recently injured, the enemy just might have a chance to land a scratch or two on her now, haha.

It's too bad Huan Yi's plan ended up not working perfectly as intended, but as long as Xin is able to kill Qing She now, Huan Yi will be able to claim that it was his plan all along that Xin finish him off.

KYOU KAI IS BACK! CURSE YOU CLIFFHANGER!

So Kan Ki's plan didn't go exactly as expected, Even though he threw everything except the kitchen sink at him he escaped thanks to Ki Sui, Ba Tei and Ryu Tou coming in at the last second, I got to be honest even though they're our enemies I can't help but root for Zhao after that scene with the kids asking about some rumors about the battle of Koku You.

Lastly the Fei Shin Force brings a sudden attack on Kei Sha in last ditch effort to take his head, sadly I know the outcome because I was spoiled but I won't spoil here so we'll see next week if Kei Sha will live to see this battle through.

@Embient The names used in the manga are Japanese. I actually rather the sub uses the Japanese names. I know the the characters are Chinese, but the Japanese names are much easier to learn and remember.

The Reigan leader is no joke. I knew since the moment he rallied his men against Koku , he's been a real trouble. On top of the surprise we get of him helping Kei Sha run , we get a cameo appearance from Kyou Kai daamn , I actually cant wait for the next episode. They really wanna finish this battle today lol

Kan Ki made Kei Sha come out, but since no one knew about Ki Sui, Kan Ki’s plan derailed. Kei Sha was astonished himself. Ki Sui proved to be a formidable opponent.

As I expected, Fei Xin Unit was used as a bait and they didn’t get any reinforcements. Ze Nuo gang was just disguised as reinforcements.

As always, Xin aims for big and I was waiting for him to act on it. Fei Xin Unit finally moved towards Kei Sha. That strategist guy of Ki Sui came to attack them, and as I so badly expected, Kyou Kai came to the rescue. Almost screamed Yoshhaaa!!!

As frustrating as it is to be used as bait, that's actually a sound strategy even though it failed. Anyway, it's too early to kill Qing She, we still have 5 episodes to go lol. And ofc Qiang Lei to the rescue at the last minute, doesn't get any shonen than that
