Ah, it looks like Kyoukai still has a desire for revenge. Seems to be a recurring theme in this series.

The episode isn't as intense in terms of action as others but still had its important value. Thought this episode had an emotional element that is more noticable than some of the other episodes.

Xin getting recognized by the top generals always puts a smile on his face... The guy had to fight in the most grueling conditions in Zui castle and still managed to exceed expectations.

I thought this would be a feel good episode where I can finally relax my buttcheeks from clenching too hard, but then Qiang Lei decided to fight the entire Uchiha clan by herself so I had to go back to butt-clench mode again...

Another fantastic episode as usual, now all thats left is the season finale and a season 4 announcement (please god make it happen)

I loved the rewards ceremony in the manga and anime, gives a very nice touch after a brutal period of war that everyone had to go through, and the ones that stood out receiving great prizes from generals, to civilians, to mountain tribe people and their leader and the former servant turned 3000-man commander himself. This war showed so much of the highs and lows for both sides, so seeing a rewards ceremony is just a nice way to conclude that whole arc and era of Qin and to move towards a new one for the time being. Plus, I loved how Shin was just basking in all the glory and amazement of how much he's grown as he does a roll call count for all 3000 people just because lol. He's still got a long way to go to become a General but he's definitely a lot more closer now than ever. And given how he's been one of the highlights in two rewards ceremonies in a row, his name is getting out there to more and more people, that's for sure. Also, Mou Bu needed to kick some ass given how there were doubts surrounding him but the man pushed himself to becoming the key factor to pushing the Coalition Army back and slaying a critical piece in Kan Mei. He deserved the special reward for the generals.

Now, it's Kyou Kai's revenge arc. Definitely shows some sign of compression as some monologue and material were removed to try and fit the whole arc into 1 and a half episodes, but overall, it was just awesome to see her back and focus on her side of the story. Luckily the arc isn't too long and too "important" I'd say to the grand scheme of things but it's a nice little quickie to end the season and showcase her fighting her demons from the past that she spent so long trying to hunt down in Yuu Rei.

I don't think there has been a single episode this season where I didn't get the chills. This series is drastically under-viewed.

What has me scratching my head is what is a "treasure" in the context of all of this?

In the ceremony mainly 5 things were given out. Military Promotions, Land, Peerage Ranks, Gold, and Treasures.

While the first 4 are obvious what dose "Treasures" mean in this context?

I would normally think money or gold but that seems to have already been covered.

Anyone have any idea?

I don't think there's actual elaboration on the manga's part for Treasures but from what I think, it's got to do with units of jewelry or better armor and weapons, etc. Kind of an alternate to the gold coins itself. Material things that are beyond just coins or actual land like what he was already given. Units just have to do with how much of those.

Xin doing a massive roll call for his new 3,000 unit army was hilarious.

After all this time we finally got Qiang Lei's return. I'm looking forward to her finally getting her revenge.

The Award Ceremony after the War.

1. "I've returned just as I'd promised."

2. Generals : MENG AO, ZHANG TANG, HUAN YI, WANG JIAN, MENG WU, TENG, and Lord BIAO.

3. "Captain XIN of the Fei Xin force! Step forward!"

4. XIN becomes a brigade commander, with 3000 troops under him. He's so excited, & the fact that he did that roll call shows his enthusiasm.

"3000-man Fei Xin force, move out!"

5. QIANG LEI.. vengeance... how that power of her works...


Even now the ed song feels EPIC!

As far as I remember in manga, Ousen was the most valuable after Moubou, Sai ppl and Yatonowa.

Why anime doesn't even bother to mention him at all. Even though he will be THE man in the next big... perhaps the BEST arc in Kingdom!

Or did I have missed something?

Fall 2022 is the most Unforgettable anime season of all time

This completely sums up how I feel. And I've even read the manga, but watching it animated is a game changer

It still feels surreal how some Kingdom manga fans actually want another season of an anime given how good this season was. Sure there was censorship issues I wish that weren't there and the anime still doesn't look close to the manga's art but at least the manga fans found a genuinely great season and decent adaptation for once in this season, particularly for the Coalition arc lol.

Need a 4th season as well whenever.

I really want to see Sei calling Shin General. Even if this season will not happen hopefully next.
Kyou Kai enters her sacred battle dance, before she did that face in the end that Shin will appear but I don't know why. I have such a strange doubt that the next episode leaves us speechless.

Excellent conclusion to an excellent, excellent arc. So happy to finally see Kyoukai in action, fingers crossed for a 4th season announcement at the end of the next episode.

When I read the manga I always read Yuu Ren's voice as having this raspy quality to it, not with this calm type the anime had.

A great episode though

loled so much for shin to number his men only for the sake being happy to being 3k commander lol.

the "new arc" (as it going to be one and half episode it's not that arc lol) compare to the coalition arc seems much more relax. but the story and action is still kingdom's style.
didn't though qyong lei's scenes in the opening were so crucial, now i get them lol

Goosebumps inducing episode as always, but wait, didn't Ousen and Yontanwa receive a special award as well?

Reward ceremony was pretty lit and Shin got his rewards and got promoted to a 3000-man commander. 4 ranks away to become a General! His fellow mates didn't get a word in the ceremony but they sure did a lot in the war. I love how Shin has confidence now to stand in front of Sei. It's so close yet so far. Well, they're focusing on Kyou Kai's revenge now and she's gonna all out.

I can't believe they didn't promote Xin to a 5k-man commander for killing a general.
Wow, no wonder Xin was no match against Qiang Lei. She's way too OP with that dance.
