| Shin pushed his troops far this episode but honestly, I think his emotions can sometimes really affect his judgment. At at rate, this episode builds more into the ongoing battle and he had to be a leader for the troops. Everyone else puts them into a similar position and it seems we're getting a climatic battle real soon. A very charismatic leader he's been this season imo. Hopefully he got the boosted confidence. |

| Very good episode and wraps up a really enjoyable little arc in the Kokuyou Hills Campaign arc. Kan Ki was incredibly twisted as hell with the 'gift' that he prepared for Ki Sui but that's to be expected. Could have been a bit more bloody but given the nature of the anime, it has always been a bit censored so that was a shame. Still, Kan Ki employed tactics that were heinous and inefficient as far as time goes, but really good objectively in terms of the actual outcome and the lives lost being far lower than it could have been by mentally toying with Ki Sui and his love and dedication towards Rigan. Ultimately, even if not pretty, he got the job done. Shin's not the kind of person morally Kan Ki is but he has to continue to grow himself to be someone who can be a Great General in his own way, and that way being more powerful than Kan Ki's in the long run. Post-ending cliffhanger with Ri Boku there was very interesting and builds up well to what's to come after Zhao got humiliated here. The final episode did air in Japan today as well so just waiting for the subbed version to be there online, but overall, good stuff and effectively showcases how terrifying Kan Ki can be considering how successful he is at his job despite his twisted and rage-filled nature. |
| The end of the whole battle was kind of abrupt. Huan Yi's ploy was genius, but I still expected to see some of the battle for the central hill after that. Though I understand why they rushed through it as there was nobody else that important there to deem it necessary to show Xin and his army beating them. The war was essentially over once Ji Hui left the hill. Li Mu showing up at the end swearing revenge for Qing She's death was very nice, and hopefully it means that we will get more of their backstory in a later season. Na Gui transferring to Xin's squad permanently was a huge surprise, and I really love the decision. Not only does it mean that Huan Yi's ploy to steal one of Xin's men backfired, but it also gives Na Gui a lot more character and gives Xin another very useful ally. Xin really needs more competent lieutenants. |

| Sometimes, being ruthless might ironically lead to less lives being lose than being honorable, and thinking completely outside the box can make the game into an entirely different kind of chessboard. Kanki is the master of this and this is one example as to why. |

| It was a failure for the most epic scene from this battle … Apart from that, it hurts my feelings but it’s a Genius this Kanki. We don’t have to agree with his methods but he saves many lives from both sides…  |
| otakuweek on insta for News /recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... |
| Kan Ki used the civilians corpses to threaten Ki Sui into going and protecting Ligan. Since they formed half of Zhao troops, it was easy for the others to defeat the remaining and take over Kokuyou. Though Xin and the others didn’t like how they won, they had to accept the results. Na Gui seems to be completely smitten by the Hi Shin Unit, that he decides to leave Kan Ki army and even fought to leave. What was that about food tasting better? Does it mean about the food itself, or the other activities within the army that makes him feel bad enough to not like the food? Well, whatever, guess we have some interesting ally now. Ri Boku wants to avenge Kei Sha, but who will it be? Kan Ki or Xin? Who was the white hair though? Even with everything, Ki Sui seems to be a good character, and if things go well, he can become a part of United China. What’s with the surprise bonus episode this week? |

| Huan Yi, he is going to have to be dealt with. And only 13 episodes, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! |
 |
| Man, that was really messed up. I wonder if a similar tactic would be used against Shin’s morals someday… I thought it was cool that Shin’s words and actions were enough to sway Na Gui and some soldiers to Shin’s camp. |

Jipsi said: @Tsuyo_Mika The food thing was probably a reference to the story that xin told in the previous episode. I see, fair enough. |
|
| another amazing episode qin has won the battle and Na Gui joined the Fei Xin force they got another amazing soiler |
 |
| We need savages. And the good willed. It always balances things out. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Huan Yi won the battle with a dark strategy, misery strategy!!! He was and is a great mystery! kekeke |
| Wow! Na Gui joining Xin Force :O |

| @otakuweek What a brutal scene |
| Foreseeable that they wouldn't show Kanki's "masterpiece" in 8K. Brilliant, yet very fucked up thing to do. It's easy to justify such a gruesome move by saying it saved more lives when it's always the vulnerable and innocent who have to pay the price. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Naki joining the Hi Shin Force was a surprise but I'm seriously waiting for Shin to join Sho because Kan Ki is a real asshole. Dog you're fighting for the wrong team. |
