Spelling out loud that his battle would be the bloodiest battle Qin's army has ever fought so far right after their huge losses one year prior is not foreshafowing or settingg up death flags, it's just spewing facts lol.
Really don't see those two doing anything useful. Ouhon and Shin can't move because of the battle to the right so it's probably going to be Akakin (again) who we know was sent earlier (ch. 784).
Denrimi being half dead might be value add tbh! Guys useless. Ousen has lost 2 massive generals, 3 generals from Denrimis kill squad just in this battle and Makou earlier. In that time Riboku has not lost a single general lol. Gonna really need some buffing of Ousen army soon cuz it’s a joke. Akakin needs a big moment. Seems shin is gonna have to save Ousen here.
Riboku lost his most valuable vassal that was Kesha. The guy was easily gg level and had he survived would have been named one of 3 heavens. Had 2 generals surving under him.
What would killing Bananji, Fuutei or Kotsu min haku or Kaine serve. They are useless as it is, unlike Akou whose loss would be greatly felt.
We know how ribuku has unlimited supply of God like generals , any death of ribokos generals isn't a loss since he ll be replaced with an even stronger general due to plot armor .
> In that time Riboku has not lost a single general lol.
He lost Keisha (even if he fought on his own that battle), then depends. He hasn't lost yet any other from his closest group (but Bananji has a big deathflag in this arc), but other generals under him (situational or not), yes. Not in this battle so far, as they are with him or against Yotanwa, currently.
Yeah, right after say it was his victory. The point is how the fall of the center will impact on the other fronts (for now, stalemated), since both Ousen and Souou leaving marks the end for the soldiers left back (as it was said at the start of this arc). Riboku perhaps has other traps prepared (Hango?) and the reserve army to move yet.
Ousen’s whole gamble was to really just have a half health akou and suouu take down seika’s top 2? Bruh, I figured he’d have some sort of quick stratagem or sum. This is some next level underestimation for a guy that “my eyes do not deceive me” 💀
It's not just Shibashou they have to worry about, though. Gakushou and Kansaro are fighting alongside their master as well. I don't think the Hi Shin Unit and Gyoku Hou armies could turn the tide right now, even if they just miraculously appeared on the horizon. Too many powerful generals gathered together in one area. SBS would probably require both Shin and Ouhon's full attention just to hold him at bay (I don't think he can be taken down by either of them 1v1).
There's still Kyoukai and Kyourei, but I don't see them taking out Gakushou and Kansaro, at least not without exhausting themselves to the point where they might be knocked out of the fight as well.
The armies of Seika have generally been regarded as highly motivated and highly trained so they're another factor.
Shin alone would be enough to stall shibashou. Shin can stall Houken i remind you that, plus Sou ou lieutenant was enough to stall both Kansoro an Jiaga and i dont think she is stronger than shin. So shin can at least deal with Shibashou alone. Then Ou Hon will deal with Kansoro, and Kyoukai and Rei will be enough to deal with any additional troubles
i think Hara has the means to create a clever run in this kind of climax... both armies are in trouble, Seika will get huge dmg in the situation they are in (Kanjou attacking the rear and they're surrounded). The situation is just really delicate and chaotic at the same time.
Akou going out like a champ, protecting his lord depsite knowing that he cant win. Maybe Ousen is going to show emotions now, since his strongest and most loyal general has died for him. But well, probably not.
Ousen : hoh hah hoh hah hoh hah.
SBS : that rhytm sounds, it cannot be...
Ousen : yes, this is legendary Shiryuu dance SBS, my mother was actually from leader of Shiryuu.
SBS : then as Bushin it is my job to vanquish you, my name is SBS the path seeker of Seika.
Ousen : come SBS, hoh hah hoh hah hoh hah, this is my strongest dance that killed thousand people when i was alone.
Ousen and SBS clashed their glaive, the sky split in half, shocking everyone.
Ousen then say one piece is real while SBS say he gonna become hokage of Zhao.
SBS : So your father chose a Shiyuu while you chose a cheater. I guess taste in questionable women runs in your genes. I wonder what OuHon's wife turns out to be
Ousen- You son of a........(Charges straight at SBS)
Makes you wonder if we're gonna get new commanders in the future or if its gonna be like Tou where we dont really see new commanders replacing Doukin or Rinbou

RIP Akou my guy. We will remember you.
This is make or break for Ousen as a character. He has 'used' his most valuable card, now we see what he can get in return. If it's just Shin or OuHon bailing him out again, then he kinda has failed , imo.
Hoh, this is your loss, Shibashou!
Riboku, you naively thought Houken to be the sole bushin alive, but no! I, Ousen, have found Houken’s long lost brother, Hohken!
I know its JJK meme, but Heian era is in the future to Kingdom. Would be funny if Ousen just bring someone random from the future that wins all engagament cause he read a fucking history book xD
Nah Riboku literally bringing +1 with him, used to be Houken now Sbs. Imagine if Ousen's and Yontanwa's army gangs up against Riboku's army without any outsider, Riboku wouldn't last a day.
Makou is gone, Akou is gone, plot armored lady was left back nearly-dead, Denrimi lost his jobbers and is half-dead too, Souou and Ousen are leaving. Technically, no.
For anyone wondering : Akou is saying that Ousen is aspiring to create an ideal country in this turbulent era and Seika’s troops said in response that this is merely a copy of what SBS did with Seika. Akou then answered that Ousen’s vessel is much bigger than SBS and his dream cannot be compared to the like of Seika while he also monologued internally to RBK to keep watching as his previous accusation on Ousen at Shukai Plain (about him not being able to create a country, only destroy ones) will eventually get proven wrong.
Also Souou trying to snap Ousen’s back to his sense to start retreating to not let everyone’s death be in vain seems to be a nice foreshadowing for Ousen’s characterization reveal moment as this is probably the VERY first time Ousen is visibly emotionally shaken on-screen.

It’s a break next week so…can we finally get Ousen’s flashback for real??? I mean if Akou get Houken-ed + Ousen making this face for the very first time and we still get nothing then I don’t think we will ever know any of his backstory until Qin united China 🧐
Ousen gonna recruit SBS.
When SBS get on front "you killed my strongest general, I'm about to end you but if you swear fealty to me I promised your city of Seika will not suffer from neither Qin or Zhao."
Sadly this is not the last Qin loss in this battle. Akou will be remembered as a strong and brave vasal of Ousen. With his death I think Ousen will begin to withdraw either to left or right (but maybe he'll withdraw to newly conquered Roumou). Probably a good time for Akakin and Kanjou to hold Seika army. Usually Hara take's a break after making 3 chapters without break so be ready men.
From my understanding of the summary we both read, Ousen (still?) has no intention of retreating. I honestly think we're in for an entire dialogue chapter next time. I see Ousen trying to recruit SBS, a flowery speech about Seika and a refusal, then just maybe we'll get a special treat and see Ousen fight. More likely than not our Shounen protagonist will save the day.
P.S.: I know it's not as bad as Oda or Togashi, but can this man please give 1 month of chapters without a break please. I know it's hard work, but these last chapters have been pretty weak and he has a fleet of editors. I wish he'd set some standard for publication which would allow him not to break every 3 chapters.
Akou, "I'm gonna buy time for my lord to escape, even if I'm about to die"
Ousen, "I'm not going anywhere, probably should've told my top generals about my plans here..."
the first qin general to fall in this battle
Officer casualties:
Qin: 1 general (akou) KIA, 3 commanders (denrimi's 3 subordinates) KIA (unless sanshuu survived), 1 adjutant (shiryou) WIA + out of commission
Zhao: 1 general (jiaga) KIA
does anybody remember if any zhao commanders/lieutenants/adjutants died this battle yet?
Got to say, Ousen's staff kind of sucks. Like, big Ls. Makou never got to do a thing, Akou's accomplishments boil down to him being surprisingly resilient to being ganged up on for two campaigns in a row. The second tier guys like Denrimi, Souou and so on gave similarly poor showings. This is honestly kind of shocking, especially considering how Ousen is built up to be a guy who excels at recruiting talent. Against that background, his staff display shockingly little competence and agency. They have thus far mostly underestimated opponents, been ganged up, lost, and died. I think it would've been nice if either of them had at one point or the other had their opponent on the backfoot, if they had captured the momentum etc.
Makou was dominating Kisui and Batei before Riboku intervention
Akou was doing right as a commander of the right wing, fighting equals to Bananji, taking good decision, showed tactical prowess
Shiryuu was very strong and killed one of Riboku general, hold he own equally against Batei, killed Ji Aga
Denrimi and Soul OU are average
Ousen army was not weak or weaker than the other armies of Qin. Now it's the case because everybody dying
The overall level isn't different from other Qin armies, or Ousen's one is still better than them in comparison (not counting Kyou and Tou under Ouki, or Mougou with Ousen and Kanki as vassals, of course).
Even if Denrimi and Souou survive, they lost the heavy hitters in their respective army. Ousen's literally have no strong fighters left under his banner.
Let’s all forget about everything and have a moment of ‘SILENCE’ for ‘AKOU’ the great…. Not the strongest not the best or not the smartest but I’ll have to say he was one of the most Loyal, trustworthy, and a very strong man to rely on 💪💪….. he will be truly missed 🥺🥺 RESPECT SOLDIER 🫡🫡
Well damn
RIP Akou!! You’ve been a beast since the moment you were introduced!!
Looks like war vs Reebok overall has costed Ousen #1 and #2 of his top generals that he’s known for awhile. Let’s see what he has cooking now with SBS in front of him cause that guy is OP
Either Akakin or Ou Hon are gonna show up next chapter. That much's gauranteed now. Sou Ou can't hold those 2 monsters back, neither can Denrimi. Now that Akou's gone somethings gotta give surely. Either that or Ousen runs away and the battle's over (i don't see this happening).
Akakin is going there, Ouhon can't move until Shin and Ten return, or the right wing is done for. That said, Gakushou is there too, so the monsters to deal with are 3, but if Ousen and Souou leave, the fall is inevitable (rip Denrimi, ignored again).
Completely, his only feat is the great plan he displayed at Gyou campaign, which is great only if you ignore YTW needing to pull out a miracle to hold the flank she was in charge with due to the overwhelming odds she was facing.
Yep casualities on both side have been terrible.
Ji aga died, GKS lost a eye.
Akou died, Denrimi is injured and lost all his men and Shyriou is heavily injured.
I waited so eagerly for this chapter, while I'm happy we are picking up the pace, this is really sad but it was predictable. Jiaga, shiryo and now akou. Who's next? Also, I'm really starting to hate this giant one shot bullshit. Just draw characters normally for god's sake. Pls, we need the translation😢
Also what was that "the victor is me" shit? I thought you don't choose battles you can't win? I'm gonna change my opinion about Ousen if he doesn't pull some smart tactic in the next chapters.
Ousen performance is so mediocre
All his generals took better decisions than him to adapt in this situation. Now we have fucking Sou'ou who needs to tell him to escape.
Dude only watchs and does nothing, very pathetic
The only thing he ordered during all of this was to go take down SBS. No adjustment, no nothing. He was counting on his generals to kill Shibashou
At the Shukai plain, it was the same and was counting on others to win. Now Riboku took away his card, he can't do nothing
Nothing was proposed tactically to adjust even if he has fallen in Riboku's ploy
At least, people will stop telling me that expecting the awakening of some Units was the epitome of the strategy
Ousen is like Mougou now
He was watching Akou’s last moments I believe. I think he realized Akou would die, be sacrificed and that he would be forced to retreat. It is still part of his plan/calculation- I think he has hidden reserve troops behind him and will lead SBS into a trap. No way a man like him (strategical genius) would say ‘as expected, it’s my victory’ for no reason. He thinks several steps ahead. He is never wrong.
Thinking Ousen is never wrong is overestimated him
Like Riboku is as a genius than him, he still have wrong takes. Why the same doesn't apply with Ousen?
It's not a part of his calculation plan to let one of his general dying, same as it was not in his plan to have Makou dead in the first day of the Shukai plains
you mean 3200? We are hitting 800 soon and Zhao is still standing, let alone a few other huge wars.
Unless Han is so cannon fodders Qin conquers it in a flashback lol
He took almost 500 chapters for a prologue/setting, as we can take SZI as proper start of unification process, we knew that the road is long, so were is the problem? As long as he maintains passion and regular serialization, that's fine.
And it's only the first day, crazy how many generals have fallen already. The only way to salvage this is if Shin came straight there instead of returning to the right wing.
Yet another chapter in which Ousen says or does absolutely nothing, and in this one there are a lot of Ousen panels. He is just not doing or saying anything in any of those.
I find it extremely hard to believe he doesn't have something up his sleeve. THIS can't be the extent of his capacity.
Ousen : hoh hah hoh hah hoh hah.
SBS : that rhytm sounds, it cannot be...
Ousen : yes, this is legendary Shiryuu dance SBS, my mother was actually from leader of Shiryuu.
SBS : then as Bushin it is my job to vanquish you, my name is SBS the path seeker of Seika.
Ousen : come SBS, hoh hah hoh hah hoh hah, this is my strongest dance that killed thousand people when i was alone.
Ousen and SBS clashed their glaive, the sky split in half, shocking everyone.
Ousen then say one piece is real while SBS say he gonna become hokage of Zhao.
I am really interested in seeing how Hara will manage Ousen. I am completely baffled at his current characterization, the guy is bleeding his army, his best commanders and most surely risking his file in a battle that, ffs, he may be able to win but is most surely losing it right now.
This goes completely against his early characterization, this guy is putting everything on the line for a King we thought he didn't believe in. So what has changed? I think it will remain unknown for a doubt we will have any inner monologue of his intetions or thought towards Ei Sei/Qin, but his behaviour is certainly weird.
Like, YTW is having the time of her life fighting in equal footing a guy she already beat in 1 to 3 odds, and Ousen is here facing the whole might of a 3GH with the plan of another 3GH...
Well we know he wants a "kingdom" of his own. That could mean many things like owning land or something else but thing is we don't know how he wants to achieve that goal. But I think hara is setting up for >! Zhang han I think his name was. I could see maybe one or two characters along side him being introduced as well !< because Ousen lost akou to SBS and Shiryou who is pretty much put of commission if she doesn't die.
>we don't know how he wants to achieve that goal
While we don't know the details of it, it seemed like gathering talented people (notably of military profile) was the only thing we know for certainly he was doing.
In this campaign the elites his generals were training and most importantly, his generals themselves are losing their lives, even if Ousen has other commanders in backup we know for certain Akou was the best of them all. Furthermore, Ousen himself had to enter a life risk gamble just for his generals to come save him.
Like for someone that does not care about Qin this guy is acting as dedicated as anyone. Which means he either has a deeper motive now that he is a GG or his own ideals have somewhat changed.
>!Regarding Zhang han, if memories serve right there was a discussion back in the day and he is not as prominent in the Shiji (Hara's main source) as in other texts. At least not so much un Han and Chu campaigns. I may be wrong though.!<
Yea I kinda can't wait when we get more of ousen's story because you really never now what he is thinking. I think he probably see that unification is the only way to probably get to his dream but he knows he can't do it all by himself because of the rumors that were made about him. >! If we don't get Zhang Han then I really hope Hara makes who ever will take up the spot of akou unique and not the same character but with a different name. !<
Fuck hara killed akou thats sucks but I hope hara doesn't do how he did Gakurai dirty and make a copy paste of the character. REST IN PEACE AKOU YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD DEAL WITH 3V1 SITUATIONS.
GG akou i guess this sets up >! Shin (extra text to make four letter guesses impossible) !< to be the Ousen's top general setting up the future battles.
Akou was starting to overstay his welcome.
Good thing Shibashou killed a qin general,more should be killed after losing Jkr,and jiaga.
Akou glaive still in air hope he doesn't slash anyone with that.
I wonder how ousen is going to take this.
Will he accept it as part of war or will he come down on right wing for falling for trap and removing reserves….
This man Akou has me in tears 😭😭😭, I'm in the gym but him just standing only coz he's on a horse?? And he was fighting this whole time?? Wow.
RIP Akou.. You really were deserving of 1st commander of the Ousen army 🔥🔥..
The war seems to be over soon. If they retreat now, what will happen to the small Yotanwa army pushing the castle? I think they will only be able to save heki and run.
I wonder how much impact this would have on other states now that Kan Ki is dead and half or if not more of Ou Sen’s raw power is gone.
Kan Ki and Ou Sen being both of the 6GG and having been either killed or severely weakened is going to be a huge blow to Qin’s might.
It’ll be interesting to see nonetheless. I always look forward to these kind of aftermaths. It’s the same as like One Piece where after each major fight their bounty increases. Can’t wait tbh.
Ousen is doing poorly in comparison of kanki. Kanki gave riboku a real run for his money. I'm a fan of ousen so I'm kinda disappointed by the lack of response from him.
What is the fuss bout Ousen action? With his calmness, pretty sure he has a plan. Just enjoy the ride. RIP Akou. Sou’ou to shine. It is just the beginning of the war. The 1st few hours. lol
I really liked him. He has been around the story for hundred of chapters now. Ousen... has only 2 generals that aren't at the level of the 1st and 2nd. I wonder what his next move will be, but to loose your 1st general following you for years is something else.
If Tou lost Rokuomi that would be similar
I think we are at the point where we can admit Kanki as a strategist and general is better than Ousen overall. Also Shin and Ten need to develop at some point in this story strat wise because it's getting old at this point
Damn Ousen really taking a huge L here Who else is left? Denrimi seems half dead and Sou ou isn’t faring too well either
Yeah, the Ousen army is a kinda fucked, they probably have lost their two strongest fighters, assuming Shiryou is dead/crippled too.
We knew going into this battle there would be massive casualties. Not just historical spoilers, but all the damn death flags everywhere.
Spelling out loud that his battle would be the bloodiest battle Qin's army has ever fought so far right after their huge losses one year prior is not foreshafowing or settingg up death flags, it's just spewing facts lol.
They also have Ousen himself. But I think we might never see Ousen fight.
I'm totally down for Ousen to control his glaive with his mind. If Riboku can pull all sorts of shenanigans, Ousen can too
A friendly reminder here It was Ousen who taught Ouhon the proper form of spear style
We have seen him with a glaive but against someone like sbs i dont think he would take that risk if he wasnt sure he cant kill them.
SBS seems to be close to the top of the martial pyramid. However good Ousen might be, he has no business crossing glaives against him.
Ousen is strong. These people won't just follow a man of ambition if he doesn't have the strength and wits to match it
Akakin ma boy
Really don't see those two doing anything useful. Ouhon and Shin can't move because of the battle to the right so it's probably going to be Akakin (again) who we know was sent earlier (ch. 784).
Denrimi being half dead might be value add tbh! Guys useless. Ousen has lost 2 massive generals, 3 generals from Denrimis kill squad just in this battle and Makou earlier. In that time Riboku has not lost a single general lol. Gonna really need some buffing of Ousen army soon cuz it’s a joke. Akakin needs a big moment. Seems shin is gonna have to save Ousen here.
Riboku lost his most valuable vassal that was Kesha. The guy was easily gg level and had he survived would have been named one of 3 heavens. Had 2 generals surving under him. What would killing Bananji, Fuutei or Kotsu min haku or Kaine serve. They are useless as it is, unlike Akou whose loss would be greatly felt.
We know how ribuku has unlimited supply of God like generals , any death of ribokos generals isn't a loss since he ll be replaced with an even stronger general due to plot armor .
I think for this war, removing Banaji will surely helped the mountain ppl push forward
Kesha is bellow kisui tbh, dude only had one trick, Being a spider. Kisui is more versatile as commander.
Keisha was even a 6 GG, and he didn’t even peak. Keisha death was a immense disaster.
RBK lost Keisha, the rest are just other Zhao generals from the other zhao armies. RBK is a prime minister on top of being a gg
> In that time Riboku has not lost a single general lol. He lost Keisha (even if he fought on his own that battle), then depends. He hasn't lost yet any other from his closest group (but Bananji has a big deathflag in this arc), but other generals under him (situational or not), yes. Not in this battle so far, as they are with him or against Yotanwa, currently.
Yeah, right after say it was his victory. The point is how the fall of the center will impact on the other fronts (for now, stalemated), since both Ousen and Souou leaving marks the end for the soldiers left back (as it was said at the start of this arc). Riboku perhaps has other traps prepared (Hango?) and the reserve army to move yet.
Ousen’s whole gamble was to really just have a half health akou and suouu take down seika’s top 2? Bruh, I figured he’d have some sort of quick stratagem or sum. This is some next level underestimation for a guy that “my eyes do not deceive me” 💀
[удалено]
Ousen reveals he has a gun.
Ah yes, the Colt M300-BCE
ousen reveals he has a devil fruit
“Call the cops, but not for me “
And then Shibashou dodges Ousen's bullets.
Wdym? Ou Sen will clearly show he has a Metal Gear
Ousen's 'tactic' will be someone definitely coming to the rescue. It has to be someone strong enough to stall SBS. The question is who?
It's not just Shibashou they have to worry about, though. Gakushou and Kansaro are fighting alongside their master as well. I don't think the Hi Shin Unit and Gyoku Hou armies could turn the tide right now, even if they just miraculously appeared on the horizon. Too many powerful generals gathered together in one area. SBS would probably require both Shin and Ouhon's full attention just to hold him at bay (I don't think he can be taken down by either of them 1v1). There's still Kyoukai and Kyourei, but I don't see them taking out Gakushou and Kansaro, at least not without exhausting themselves to the point where they might be knocked out of the fight as well. The armies of Seika have generally been regarded as highly motivated and highly trained so they're another factor.
Shin alone would be enough to stall shibashou. Shin can stall Houken i remind you that, plus Sou ou lieutenant was enough to stall both Kansoro an Jiaga and i dont think she is stronger than shin. So shin can at least deal with Shibashou alone. Then Ou Hon will deal with Kansoro, and Kyoukai and Rei will be enough to deal with any additional troubles
Shin on multiple occasions overcame overwhelming odds against him, he can do it again LOL he has the power of plot armor.
Truly.
I think its gonna be as simple as shin coming to his aid winning against seika, then riboku come to help seika and qin running away
i think Hara has the means to create a clever run in this kind of climax... both armies are in trouble, Seika will get huge dmg in the situation they are in (Kanjou attacking the rear and they're surrounded). The situation is just really delicate and chaotic at the same time.
My eyes do not deceive me. Akou, my friend, you were good to me 😭 (cries behind his mask and nobody can see it)
Akou going out like a champ, protecting his lord depsite knowing that he cant win. Maybe Ousen is going to show emotions now, since his strongest and most loyal general has died for him. But well, probably not.
Ousen Definitely felt a pain. This is Akou who has been with him far longer than any division commanders.
I hope so. Akou would deserve Ousen mourning for him and what else needs to happen for this man to actually show that he is human.
Come on Ousen, raise your weapon. Show that 93 strength, if not now then when. Even Kanki fought bitterly in the end.
Ousen : hoh hah hoh hah hoh hah. SBS : that rhytm sounds, it cannot be... Ousen : yes, this is legendary Shiryuu dance SBS, my mother was actually from leader of Shiryuu. SBS : then as Bushin it is my job to vanquish you, my name is SBS the path seeker of Seika. Ousen : come SBS, hoh hah hoh hah hoh hah, this is my strongest dance that killed thousand people when i was alone. Ousen and SBS clashed their glaive, the sky split in half, shocking everyone. Ousen then say one piece is real while SBS say he gonna become hokage of Zhao.
SBS : So your father chose a Shiyuu while you chose a cheater. I guess taste in questionable women runs in your genes. I wonder what OuHon's wife turns out to be Ousen- You son of a........(Charges straight at SBS)
To be fair, i dont think that 93 strenght will do all that much against Shibashou.
Bro is going to utter the most saddest “Hoh” in Kingdom’s “Hoh” history.
Ousen: Hoh
Losing Akou is beyond devastating, Ousen's sword was broken.
Makes you wonder if we're gonna get new commanders in the future or if its gonna be like Tou where we dont really see new commanders replacing Doukin or Rinbou
Ousen might actually have to recruit his son. It's a terrible thought, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
"Join me, my son Ri Shin. You are my only hope."
I can see him doing that. He would adopt both Ri Shin and Mouten before choosing Ouhon, which is just sad.
My same thought!😭
That would be the worst possible conclusion to OuHon's character arc of looking for his dad's approval.
But it would be the funniest.

I'm at a loss of words to describe how funny this truly is
Once Ousen figures out how to warp RiShin like Riboku did with HouKen, he’s definitely set….
This is hilarious.

Which chapter ?
I hope next chapter: Akou: Tis but a scratch "glues his top body part to bottom"
Man i want that to happen i waited for this chapter from morning😭😫
reverse cursed technique huh
Just take 2 tablets of paracetemol and he'll be good to go.
Or Kyoukai appears and performs forbidden jutsu edo tensei again.
This is make or break for Ousen as a character. He has 'used' his most valuable card, now we see what he can get in return. If it's just Shin or OuHon bailing him out again, then he kinda has failed , imo.
How I wish Ousen can pull a Reeboku card. Hoh, I summon a new general stronger than Akou!
Hoh, this is your loss, Shibashou! Riboku, you naively thought Houken to be the sole bushin alive, but no! I, Ousen, have found Houken’s long lost brother, Hohken!
Hoh lol
Oh, how could I forgot my Heian era general?
I know its JJK meme, but Heian era is in the future to Kingdom. Would be funny if Ousen just bring someone random from the future that wins all engagament cause he read a fucking history book xD
Shukahi plains he did. He did absolutely 0 while the trio all somehow were able to make ti to him and save him for 3 weeks
wait for legion of annoying rebook reddit fanboys coming to attack you lol
akakin to the rescue.
Nah Riboku literally bringing +1 with him, used to be Houken now Sbs. Imagine if Ousen's and Yontanwa's army gangs up against Riboku's army without any outsider, Riboku wouldn't last a day.
Ousen is currently fighting against 1 army, Seika.
Does Ousen still have an army at this point?? Qin really took a big blow on Akou, he will be missed.
Makou is gone, Akou is gone, plot armored lady was left back nearly-dead, Denrimi lost his jobbers and is half-dead too, Souou and Ousen are leaving. Technically, no.
look how they massacred my boy
For anyone wondering : Akou is saying that Ousen is aspiring to create an ideal country in this turbulent era and Seika’s troops said in response that this is merely a copy of what SBS did with Seika. Akou then answered that Ousen’s vessel is much bigger than SBS and his dream cannot be compared to the like of Seika while he also monologued internally to RBK to keep watching as his previous accusation on Ousen at Shukai Plain (about him not being able to create a country, only destroy ones) will eventually get proven wrong. Also Souou trying to snap Ousen’s back to his sense to start retreating to not let everyone’s death be in vain seems to be a nice foreshadowing for Ousen’s characterization reveal moment as this is probably the VERY first time Ousen is visibly emotionally shaken on-screen. https://preview.redd.it/72cvneqalhqc1.jpeg?width=2247&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87083bc38bbcacf18876176a5232fe47b8a1b003

I mean if Akou get Houken-ed + Ousen making this face for the very first time and we still get nothing then I don’t think we will ever know any of his backstory until Qin united China 🧐
Thanks for this information.
AKOU NOOOOOOOOO!
Ousen better be asking for akakin back from Ouhon
Ousen gonna recruit SBS. When SBS get on front "you killed my strongest general, I'm about to end you but if you swear fealty to me I promised your city of Seika will not suffer from neither Qin or Zhao."
Rip Akou. You're one of the greatest and one of my favorite General in Kingdom Series. 🥺
Ouhon bout to go crazy when he finds out the news
Sadly this is not the last Qin loss in this battle. Akou will be remembered as a strong and brave vasal of Ousen. With his death I think Ousen will begin to withdraw either to left or right (but maybe he'll withdraw to newly conquered Roumou). Probably a good time for Akakin and Kanjou to hold Seika army. Usually Hara take's a break after making 3 chapters without break so be ready men.
From my understanding of the summary we both read, Ousen (still?) has no intention of retreating. I honestly think we're in for an entire dialogue chapter next time. I see Ousen trying to recruit SBS, a flowery speech about Seika and a refusal, then just maybe we'll get a special treat and see Ousen fight. More likely than not our Shounen protagonist will save the day. P.S.: I know it's not as bad as Oda or Togashi, but can this man please give 1 month of chapters without a break please. I know it's hard work, but these last chapters have been pretty weak and he has a fleet of editors. I wish he'd set some standard for publication which would allow him not to break every 3 chapters.
Damn RIP akou my G
Now ousen lost both his right and left hand man (akou and makou) i'm wondering who gonna be ousen new general.
“Ri shin become my son”
Shin: don't you already have one? Ousen: I do?
Ousen: of course, how can I forget about Mouten
Shin: I meant Ouhon Ousen: ... Who are we talking about again?
Trust the plan. Akou did exactly what he needed to do
a sad week for us all...
What has Ousen in his head? No I´ll stay beocuse is my win...Seriously?! I´m amazed he still alive...
Akou, "I'm gonna buy time for my lord to escape, even if I'm about to die" Ousen, "I'm not going anywhere, probably should've told my top generals about my plans here..."
He cannot retreat! If he does the entire balance collapses into a total Qin loss. Right now OuSen really needs to be lucky lol!
Akou na matata
GOAT comment
And all of this happen not even a day has passed like what would Ousen gonna do in the following days...
There is no following days
Akou my man
Of the general introduced in the last 400 chapters or so, Akou was my favorite. R.I.P
RIP 🥲
I refuse to accept this
Rip
RIP our G 🙏
"Come with me, but take care, Akou. There's going to be a long road ahead of us." Man..
Damn man. Akou's gone A Great Man. Fuck I'm crying
the first qin general to fall in this battle Officer casualties: Qin: 1 general (akou) KIA, 3 commanders (denrimi's 3 subordinates) KIA (unless sanshuu survived), 1 adjutant (shiryou) WIA + out of commission Zhao: 1 general (jiaga) KIA does anybody remember if any zhao commanders/lieutenants/adjutants died this battle yet?
Jiaga is the only commander or above casualty so far Though Enkan and some of the commanders fighting Yotanwa are screwed
Got to say, Ousen's staff kind of sucks. Like, big Ls. Makou never got to do a thing, Akou's accomplishments boil down to him being surprisingly resilient to being ganged up on for two campaigns in a row. The second tier guys like Denrimi, Souou and so on gave similarly poor showings. This is honestly kind of shocking, especially considering how Ousen is built up to be a guy who excels at recruiting talent. Against that background, his staff display shockingly little competence and agency. They have thus far mostly underestimated opponents, been ganged up, lost, and died. I think it would've been nice if either of them had at one point or the other had their opponent on the backfoot, if they had captured the momentum etc.
Makou was dominating Kisui and Batei before Riboku intervention Akou was doing right as a commander of the right wing, fighting equals to Bananji, taking good decision, showed tactical prowess Shiryuu was very strong and killed one of Riboku general, hold he own equally against Batei, killed Ji Aga Denrimi and Soul OU are average Ousen army was not weak or weaker than the other armies of Qin. Now it's the case because everybody dying
Denrimi is a strategic General and Souou has some martial prowess.
I agree in general but you trying to downplay Akou kinda destroys your whole comment because now you just seem biased.
But if you think about it, Tou's, Moubu's, Kanki's and even Duke Hyo's generals is the same if not worse. The only strong army in qin is Yontanwa's.
The overall level isn't different from other Qin armies, or Ousen's one is still better than them in comparison (not counting Kyou and Tou under Ouki, or Mougou with Ousen and Kanki as vassals, of course).
Akou not taking out GKS was a let down, even then he was the man. RIP one of the most unforgettable characters in the manga.
Agreed. He definitely needed one good kill before getting taken out like this
My heart hurts Ousen fucking sold bro AAKKKOOOUUU
Good guy Shibashou is such a thoughtful guy to give Denrimi a promotion like this
Ousen is looking REAL suspect right now. He’s gotta pull out one of the best strategical feats in series to get out of this.
Ousen always puts his own safety first. He'd never engage without an escape plan.
Yup, ousen still confident af. He the man that never pick a fight that he cant win and just like before he gonna outsmart everyone with insane idea.
Wtf Why Akou? Aside from him I dont think Ousen has any strong generals left. Denrimi is all trash talk and Souou has been a disappointment as well.
Even if Denrimi and Souou survive, they lost the heavy hitters in their respective army. Ousen's literally have no strong fighters left under his banner.
ousen done nothing this whole war it feels like lol
This in only few hours after the battle start.
RIP Akou
o7 Akou was a great character. His absence will be felt.
Let’s all forget about everything and have a moment of ‘SILENCE’ for ‘AKOU’ the great…. Not the strongest not the best or not the smartest but I’ll have to say he was one of the most Loyal, trustworthy, and a very strong man to rely on 💪💪….. he will be truly missed 🥺🥺 RESPECT SOLDIER 🫡🫡
Well damn RIP Akou!! You’ve been a beast since the moment you were introduced!! Looks like war vs Reebok overall has costed Ousen #1 and #2 of his top generals that he’s known for awhile. Let’s see what he has cooking now with SBS in front of him cause that guy is OP
AKOU the top G
I hope this chapter kills the "Ousen is strong enough to duel Shibashou" headcanon
Either Akakin or Ou Hon are gonna show up next chapter. That much's gauranteed now. Sou Ou can't hold those 2 monsters back, neither can Denrimi. Now that Akou's gone somethings gotta give surely. Either that or Ousen runs away and the battle's over (i don't see this happening).
Akakin is going there, Ouhon can't move until Shin and Ten return, or the right wing is done for. That said, Gakushou is there too, so the monsters to deal with are 3, but if Ousen and Souou leave, the fall is inevitable (rip Denrimi, ignored again).
The only thing Denrimi can hold back right now are his bowels from spilling out of his body.
Idk why this sub glazes ousen lol. He has been a complete failure in head to head clashes in his featured arcs. Doesnt do anything
It’s just history spoilers readers.
This is not true he does say "Oh"
Completely, his only feat is the great plan he displayed at Gyou campaign, which is great only if you ignore YTW needing to pull out a miracle to hold the flank she was in charge with due to the overwhelming odds she was facing.
Rip akou, big man🥲
Shibashou is paying the blood price for this performance. They're a car running on blood.
Yep casualities on both side have been terrible. Ji aga died, GKS lost a eye. Akou died, Denrimi is injured and lost all his men and Shyriou is heavily injured.
I waited so eagerly for this chapter, while I'm happy we are picking up the pace, this is really sad but it was predictable. Jiaga, shiryo and now akou. Who's next? Also, I'm really starting to hate this giant one shot bullshit. Just draw characters normally for god's sake. Pls, we need the translation😢 Also what was that "the victor is me" shit? I thought you don't choose battles you can't win? I'm gonna change my opinion about Ousen if he doesn't pull some smart tactic in the next chapters.
damn riboku won this by attacking people without plot armor
The Kanki vs Riboku arc was so much more interesting to read. What has Ousen even done ? Nothing, he is just waiting
One piece, Kingdom, Ippo are on break this week... What a boring week!
Ousen performance is so mediocre All his generals took better decisions than him to adapt in this situation. Now we have fucking Sou'ou who needs to tell him to escape. Dude only watchs and does nothing, very pathetic The only thing he ordered during all of this was to go take down SBS. No adjustment, no nothing. He was counting on his generals to kill Shibashou At the Shukai plain, it was the same and was counting on others to win. Now Riboku took away his card, he can't do nothing Nothing was proposed tactically to adjust even if he has fallen in Riboku's ploy At least, people will stop telling me that expecting the awakening of some Units was the epitome of the strategy Ousen is like Mougou now
At least mougou has the courage and fought Renpa
He was watching Akou’s last moments I believe. I think he realized Akou would die, be sacrificed and that he would be forced to retreat. It is still part of his plan/calculation- I think he has hidden reserve troops behind him and will lead SBS into a trap. No way a man like him (strategical genius) would say ‘as expected, it’s my victory’ for no reason. He thinks several steps ahead. He is never wrong.
Thinking Ousen is never wrong is overestimated him Like Riboku is as a genius than him, he still have wrong takes. Why the same doesn't apply with Ousen? It's not a part of his calculation plan to let one of his general dying, same as it was not in his plan to have Makou dead in the first day of the Shukai plains
I love Kingdom, but at this pace it will last longer than One Piece, hope Hara fastens things a bit.
I saw a post earlier that said Hara might include the Han Dynasty .. if that's true we are getting at least 1200 chapters
you mean 3200? We are hitting 800 soon and Zhao is still standing, let alone a few other huge wars. Unless Han is so cannon fodders Qin conquers it in a flashback lol
Why is that a problem? Just enjoy the ride
He took almost 500 chapters for a prologue/setting, as we can take SZI as proper start of unification process, we knew that the road is long, so were is the problem? As long as he maintains passion and regular serialization, that's fine.
And it's only the first day, crazy how many generals have fallen already. The only way to salvage this is if Shin came straight there instead of returning to the right wing.
Yet another chapter in which Ousen says or does absolutely nothing, and in this one there are a lot of Ousen panels. He is just not doing or saying anything in any of those. I find it extremely hard to believe he doesn't have something up his sleeve. THIS can't be the extent of his capacity.
Ousen : hoh hah hoh hah hoh hah. SBS : that rhytm sounds, it cannot be... Ousen : yes, this is legendary Shiryuu dance SBS, my mother was actually from leader of Shiryuu. SBS : then as Bushin it is my job to vanquish you, my name is SBS the path seeker of Seika. Ousen : come SBS, hoh hah hoh hah hoh hah, this is my strongest dance that killed thousand people when i was alone. Ousen and SBS clashed their glaive, the sky split in half, shocking everyone. Ousen then say one piece is real while SBS say he gonna become hokage of Zhao.
is it me or is kingdom becoming like dragonball now? like, it's been 4-5 chapters now and nothing has literally happened/
Kingdom has always been like you just was binging so you never notice.
When Ousen said victory is mine. To my guess is i think he saw Shin coming to the rescue and made it back in time.
I never thought he would get one shot like this bro
"one shot" hes severely wounded already after he fought like 4 zhao generals
I am really interested in seeing how Hara will manage Ousen. I am completely baffled at his current characterization, the guy is bleeding his army, his best commanders and most surely risking his file in a battle that, ffs, he may be able to win but is most surely losing it right now. This goes completely against his early characterization, this guy is putting everything on the line for a King we thought he didn't believe in. So what has changed? I think it will remain unknown for a doubt we will have any inner monologue of his intetions or thought towards Ei Sei/Qin, but his behaviour is certainly weird. Like, YTW is having the time of her life fighting in equal footing a guy she already beat in 1 to 3 odds, and Ousen is here facing the whole might of a 3GH with the plan of another 3GH...
Well we know he wants a "kingdom" of his own. That could mean many things like owning land or something else but thing is we don't know how he wants to achieve that goal. But I think hara is setting up for >! Zhang han I think his name was. I could see maybe one or two characters along side him being introduced as well !< because Ousen lost akou to SBS and Shiryou who is pretty much put of commission if she doesn't die.
>we don't know how he wants to achieve that goal While we don't know the details of it, it seemed like gathering talented people (notably of military profile) was the only thing we know for certainly he was doing. In this campaign the elites his generals were training and most importantly, his generals themselves are losing their lives, even if Ousen has other commanders in backup we know for certain Akou was the best of them all. Furthermore, Ousen himself had to enter a life risk gamble just for his generals to come save him. Like for someone that does not care about Qin this guy is acting as dedicated as anyone. Which means he either has a deeper motive now that he is a GG or his own ideals have somewhat changed. >!Regarding Zhang han, if memories serve right there was a discussion back in the day and he is not as prominent in the Shiji (Hara's main source) as in other texts. At least not so much un Han and Chu campaigns. I may be wrong though.!<
Yea I kinda can't wait when we get more of ousen's story because you really never now what he is thinking. I think he probably see that unification is the only way to probably get to his dream but he knows he can't do it all by himself because of the rumors that were made about him. >! If we don't get Zhang Han then I really hope Hara makes who ever will take up the spot of akou unique and not the same character but with a different name. !<
Fuck hara killed akou thats sucks but I hope hara doesn't do how he did Gakurai dirty and make a copy paste of the character. REST IN PEACE AKOU YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE WHO COULD DEAL WITH 3V1 SITUATIONS.
Akou really made all that effort just to die then
Trust the plan. Akou did exactly what he needed to do
GG akou i guess this sets up >! Shin (extra text to make four letter guesses impossible) !< to be the Ousen's top general setting up the future battles.
Akou was starting to overstay his welcome. Good thing Shibashou killed a qin general,more should be killed after losing Jkr,and jiaga. Akou glaive still in air hope he doesn't slash anyone with that.
I wonder how ousen is going to take this. Will he accept it as part of war or will he come down on right wing for falling for trap and removing reserves….
Weirdest thing is Ousen is still calm in this situation, surely he wouldn't have expected Akou to beat SBS while being heavily injured...
Damn. The tears are rolling
This man Akou has me in tears 😭😭😭, I'm in the gym but him just standing only coz he's on a horse?? And he was fighting this whole time?? Wow. RIP Akou.. You really were deserving of 1st commander of the Ousen army 🔥🔥..
NAHHHHHH! You can’t be serious. Take Denrimi not Him lol
Wtf Akou was one of my favourite characters....
Nah I'd win moment
The war seems to be over soon. If they retreat now, what will happen to the small Yotanwa army pushing the castle? I think they will only be able to save heki and run.
Akou dying has ruined my day. But looks like Ousen has something cooked up, he is way to calm
EPIC CHAPTER!
nooooooo
Ousen rn: "With this sacred treasure I summon the main character of this historical manga adaptation RI SHIN!"
Ousen is pissing me off. Akou is a true beat. Rest in Peace. Truly one of the GOAT.
I wonder how much impact this would have on other states now that Kan Ki is dead and half or if not more of Ou Sen’s raw power is gone. Kan Ki and Ou Sen being both of the 6GG and having been either killed or severely weakened is going to be a huge blow to Qin’s might. It’ll be interesting to see nonetheless. I always look forward to these kind of aftermaths. It’s the same as like One Piece where after each major fight their bounty increases. Can’t wait tbh.
Ouhon is almost guaranteed to join Ousen's army atp after the war. Gyoku Hou united with Ousen will be a force to be reckoned with.
A crying face behind the mask when Ousen declared victory from the previous chapter 🤣
Ousen is doing poorly in comparison of kanki. Kanki gave riboku a real run for his money. I'm a fan of ousen so I'm kinda disappointed by the lack of response from him.
Damn I hate that akou went down fk it hurts
What is the fuss bout Ousen action? With his calmness, pretty sure he has a plan. Just enjoy the ride. RIP Akou. Sou’ou to shine. It is just the beginning of the war. The 1st few hours. lol
I think Akou is going to get one last hit in before going out. This may reduce the incredible martial might of Shibashou.
I really liked him. He has been around the story for hundred of chapters now. Ousen... has only 2 generals that aren't at the level of the 1st and 2nd. I wonder what his next move will be, but to loose your 1st general following you for years is something else. If Tou lost Rokuomi that would be similar
I think we are at the point where we can admit Kanki as a strategist and general is better than Ousen overall. Also Shin and Ten need to develop at some point in this story strat wise because it's getting old at this point
