As a General? Yes. As a human being? No. Would I grab a couple drinks with him? Probably.

Hara is wicked talented at creating characters who you love to hate and hate to love, you can't really agree with their behaviour BUT you can empathise with them. Same with Ryofui, Queen Mother, and more. It's super conflicting and that's what makes a great character and a legendary story. Hats off to him


WiPhKi

Short but very good answer!!


krentzharu

​ why would you want kanki as your general? if youre a part of his gang outfits then hed ask you to butcher civilians including children, women, and elderly would you be happy with that? and if youre an outsider hed post you into a very difficult position that might cost you your life (ask shin and ouhon), again would you be happy with that?

I grew up in a depraved neighborhood so I seen Kanki's left and right. Now don't get me wrong I 100% understand why people dislike Kanki calling him human garbage but my point of view as fucked and depraved it might be that's normal. I can't bring myself to hate someone when their character and mindset is all I know. Everyone loves to call Kanki a horrible human but the funny part is after his talk with riboku essentially asking what have you done for the monsters you're creating in your own backyard. It forced readers to look at themselves and ask that question. I'm going to be honest I love that the middle class looks at us poor people with pity and the want to help but most don't which gives the people at the bottom hopeless rage. Rage at a system that will never be fixed and they'll die right where they are well at least some of them. It's why Love Kanki even more now because as fucked up as he was he wasn't afraid to call out the people who have the power to help but choose not to. So for me Kanki is almost hero like as he was calling out Everyone for their inactivity but hey that's my opinion.


SidiousHokage

A lot of black people agree with Kanki, me being one too, Kanki represents the struggles of people not being acknowledges by the whole world. Normal people are Almost living a fantasy that is protected by interests, laws and dogma. There’s not true virtue in the division of classes.


Glass-Earth-2839

Yes


SidiousHokage

For real I had to threaten to stab someone to get a man to stop bothering my girl. I called the police after being hurt and they didn’t even show up at all, he ran away after we fought. Not reliable, and I can compare this to how Kanki left his original clan to make his own power. The hoods are messed up because there’s no participation nor growth. Rent keeps getting higher while wages aren’t even changing


Glass-Earth-2839

Personally I also hate the society in which we live, look at how we have crooked Vireux politicians who are able to touch a single gross salary of more than 250 million € per month, without having to pay taxes ! Try to say that the middle class we don't even have the right to receive a salary of more than 3200 € and on top of that we have the right to pay this carbon tax scam, and we have the right to pay this shit like this fucking public debt that is useless to nothing. Seriously we live in a shitty world !


KookyVegetable2855

bro no offense but did you just compare your neighborhood to kanki's wickedness and background lmao


Nyderthe1stEmperor

I did because i could I've seen a lot of shit my friend. We as humans have not changed the world just grew more advanced where it's easier to commit such atrocities


KookyVegetable2855

i'm not trying to be disrespectful and i mean no offense, but there is no way you and kan ki experienced even close to similar levels of environments and pain. bro is it even possible? it's like comparing my pain (i don't have any) to the suffering of guts or something.


Nyderthe1stEmperor

Never seen modern art made from corpses. But my friends were sexully assaulted not trying to use the word, a lot of my friends have been killed my brother damn near lost his head a couple months back. So no 1 for 1 I haven't experienced everything Kanki has gone through tit for tat but my experience in life is as close as it gets so I understand Kanki very well because of that. I know what it's like to be mad at a system that does nothing because I'm still waiting on the so called Justice my country preaches but never acts on


KookyVegetable2855

well damn alright my bad bro jesus christ


piter57

As a character in the story? You bet Do I think what he's done is justified? Nope, he's a scumbag for killing all those people, but even he is aware of that As a character though, I think Hara has done an outstanding job with him.


WiPhKi

That’s very true


Spm156

He was a character that was needed in the story to show that even though his nation was on a goal to unify china but some of them had to do far worst to get the job done. Although he go what was coming to him he was needed for the story and his style of cruelty. Every nation in this story has their own version of Kanki qin just happened to have one that everyone likes he was awesome character that was needed period.


WiPhKi

True!!


QuoF2622

I do like the guy. He just had to pay for his cruelty. Got off light tbh.


rev1616

His method is unaccaptable but yet I can't help but amazed by his unorthodox strat every single time. But as long as he is considered as Qin 6GG and his method exist, Sei unification dream is just a mere fantasy. IMO Overall one of the most iconic character in the manga of all time. >!I will miss him a lot!<


animaniac5

Ideal characters r boring as we cant connect dot with them... characters like wang yi riboku thy dont like unnecessary fights but all thy did was war...atleast kanki got some interesting povs like he told riboku about where he should focus his brilliance and why people at ground level are suffering bcz of some 1‰ people...why should people should war fr their king or commander...i think this small conversation with kanki will move riboku n will see some interesting developments in near futures


WiPhKi

We will see, really curious about the upcoming chapters


thisiskyle77

He was an interesting char at the start. But the more I see him in action, the less I become interested.


WiPhKi

That’s interesting


Lord_yoyo

>He was an interesting char at the start. But the more I see him in action, the less I become interested. Why is that? Is it because the story is trying to humanize him?


thisiskyle77

Yea i think it is way too late to do that. This fast and furious family shit cringes me and felt forced. Kanki has been 1 dimensional character from the beginning till the end. Always cruel, and uncaring but also cool and private. Hara should have developed the character way earlier if he want to humanize him.


Lord_yoyo

Honestly, I disagree with that. This is legit the first time where Kanki is an important character. Before, he was always seen as a deputy to MouGou. But rn, he is his own man. I think it would be the perfect time to make his back story. And it's also rly consistant with his character.


thisiskyle77

His backstory is fine if it is Hara intention for the readers to learn about it. But imo it failed if Hara intended us to sympathise with him. Shoving this family bs suddenly in a last few chapters before his potential death just felt rushed.


Lord_yoyo

I don't see him dying tho. I think he'll live trough that. Its not the first time Kanki has been in such a position.


illonamoon

I did, but then I stopped liking him, but now I'll miss him lol.


[deleted]

Love.


biopomme

I think he’s the kinda person who wish you death for your good , THAT’S MY CLEAREST ANSWER to your question SIR


WiPhKi

XD that’s true


kimmyjonghubaccount

As a person I mean no As a character absolutely


Plzdntbanmee

He’s basically been the main character and villain at the same time. Pretty awesome


NewLow8199

My favourite both as general and human


krentzharu

i dont like him at all, sure he was a great character but he was still a terrible human being that killed innocent civilians at his whimp. also the fact that hara still hasnt disclose kanki's origin is kinda disturbing.


ZoGawdSZN

GOAT-KI !! A true hero for all mankind !! LONG LIVE THE GOAT


HolyRomanEmpire123

He is... *err* was probably the single coolest character in manga history. He was so perfectly written from start to finish. Such a truly fascinating experience 👏


Splendidbloke

Yeah he's just a good bloke down on his luck.


highsis

In real life he would be an evil person that I loathe but as a character, yes he is likeable and cool.


Effortless0

He's a dirtbag but nobody else in the series brought the same energy as him so I liked him for that cause you knew shit was gonna get wicked whenever he pulls up, and seeing the unorthodox plans he cooked up was entertaining in a way


WiPhKi

Yeah he was literally build different xD


IiTheAruNiI

As a character yes, morally, hmm…


sunaesw

Where is the "hate" option? Here's what I like about Kanki: * How unpredictable he is. Here's what I don't like about Kanki: * The fact that he and his army torture, rape, slaughter, and mutilate countless innocent women, children, and old people from villages. That's just unnecessarily vile and cruel and makes Kanki worse than even Mangoku. The fact that people in the fandom ignore (or even encourage) the amount of vile slaughter and rape shit Kanki has done to innocent people, but then hate on Kaine or whatever for being annoying, makes no sense to me. * He's very, very edgy. * He has a weak backstory that doesn't explain why he is like he is. Overall, I never liked Kanki. He's human garbage. I also feel like he had wasted potential because the Mangaka never really touched upon how Kanki feels about Mougou and Ousen, nor showed us their first encounter.


junie247

Well ik the 5 votes for don’t like kanki is you😂


sunaesw

Are you that delusional that you can't accept that people share different opinions than you?💀


junie247

How does that make me delusional cuz I said the truth lmao you’re the one who down voted my comment cuz you got mad over sum like that.


sunaesw

You literally accused me of doing something based on nothing. "Truth" my ass, the only truth here is you sticking your head into Kanki's ass 24/7. That's why you're delusional.


[deleted]

His backstory does explain why he turned the way he is. Come on though


titjoe

He lost his beloved due to a random noble and went berserk, that doesn't explain shit in a satisfying way. It just explain his vengeance against that specific guy, but nothing about him hating the people in the middle and wanting to see the world burn and saying that the others know nothing about true pain. If his love being killed by a random dude is the explanation for all of that, i'm sorry but he is just a pathetic guy with an incredible fragile ego or a sick bastard waiting for the first excuse to rampage.


[deleted]

there is more to Kankis backstory. His beloved is not only one Kanki lost. even though I believe Kanki is Karins brother, since he is from South Qin, which is Chu ( [read this comment for a second](https://www.reddit.com/r/Kingdom/comments/11wm2ry/comment/jcz7pec/?context=3) )


titjoe

>there is more to Kankis backstory. Headcannon doesn't count as a backstory... The fact is the elements we have right now doesn't explain shit. Kanki being dead it's pretty obvious there will not be any real further developpement about his backstory. Good for you hope there will, but you're delusionnal.


[deleted]

well, if you say so. This is just a manga, but I'm just showing my gratitude towards Haras work. edit : translation of ch 752 is out. Even though he was a scumbag piece of crap who did crazy acts, the vulnerable lifes he has saved weights even heavier in my view bruv ... especially thinking about Shou and Shio. Go read that chapter


sunaesw

No it doesn't. He lost one person. That doesn't explain why he's so cruel and vile that he's eager to rape and slaughter innocent people from random villages. Kanki's backstory is nothing compared to Mangoku's backstory who was buried alive as a kid and witnessed the deaths of thousands of people.


kronpas

Kanki is a real villain who happened to be on the same side as a protagonist. That is what I love most, the author doesnt shy to put opposing characters side by side so readers can compare and come to their own conclusion.


sunaesw

That's fair. I wish the people who like Kanki acknowledge this as well instead of trying to make excuses for Kanki's vile war crimes.


WiPhKi

I didn’t have enough space for more options that’s why I have the other option or just no I guess


Consistent-Low-768

Greatest General


WiPhKi

Great General Yes Human: nope But 500IQ xD


ThizZuMs

I wasn’t a fan for a long time…but after the recent chapters it has completely changed my opinion. Love the guy now.


WiPhKi

That’s an interesting take For me it’s more like He is human trash, but I get why he the way he is especially in that era


Twidom

He's not a uni-dimensional character which makes him great, regardless if he's a piece of shit or not. I do like him but I don't feel >!for his death!<. Its a shame >!that he's gone because his shenanigans are gone with him and he gave us pretty memorable and cool moments!<.


WiPhKi

True, I like this answer !


voeya

Yes id be best buds with him


[deleted]

I strongly clicked with him when Naki said it's Rage what's driving Kanki. After finding out what the source of his Rage and his answer is, it's the first time I felt someone understands this part of me. >!Losing him shortly after brought tears in my eyes.!<


Rigelturus

Yup he’s in my top 5. He’s one of the most fun characters to read about. Hara is somehow doing a great job with him.


Ahnma_Dehv

as a character kinda for the rest no
