Yikes, trust and betrayals.

Tense episode with Shin and everyone on the move. Shin had a good presence on the battlefield but the situation looked hard to overcome. What a cliffhanger. The fun's just getting started!

An interesting turn of events. I didn't expect one of Lu Buwei's underlings to betray him, but it's a good thing that it happened, or else Lu Buwei's rebellion would have very likely succeeded with barely any resistance. Xin still has a lot of work ahead of him it seems.

I always liked Lord Changping, glad he diverted. Lets hope the wife survives. I know the kids will but who knows.

Amazing episode, only a few more left until the end of this season. There were hints that Lord Changping may divert, glad that it happened.

As of today, I have finally caught up with the Kingdom anime and half of Kingdom's manga. It was one of the best experiences and I'm glad I went through the horrors of the first two anime seasons.

Anyway, it was obvious that Shou Hei Kun would join the King's faction, what we did not know was "when". It was already clear that he did not like Ryo Fui's actions and was against it most of the time. But now, he's one of Sei's aids.

Shin's speech was once again just incredible. He really knows how to boost everyone's morale and be at the top.

For anyone wondering about the 150 000 enemy troops at minute 7:00 , it's actually 15000. No idea why they get the easiest but still very important parts of the translations wrong...

I love how the people of Zui are willing to sacrifice everything for the Emperor's family. They retroactively deserve the rewards they got after the Coalition War, assuming they didn't in it.

Also Li Si has the courage to talk about betrayals when they are the one betraying the capital, the people, the country and the Emperor. The gaslighting got me actually angry there for a bit.

Thanks, when I saw the number I thought it's a useless resistance. 150000 vs 10000 never make sense

This is what I've been waiting for the most, the Shouheikun betrayal. Well, it's been seen since in S3 when Ei Sei saved Sai from Li Mu. I can't wait for a master strategist from the land of Qin, Shouheikun, to step into the battlefield.

I'm really looking forward to the next episode, want to see the battle of Shouheikun troops soon.

1 son with another girl who is offscreen and 1 daughter with Kou-chan. So far those are the kids he have.

OT: great episode again, Ryofui hyping himself up was funny tho.

Incredible episode (as usual from Kingdom). I expected Lord Changpinjun to betray Lu Buwei ever since he helped Zheng in Season 3, but the way he did it was still hype as fuck.

Godlike OSTs by Yamamoto Kohta and Sawano Hiroyuki (as usual from both of them)

Kingdom Season 3 was a top 3 anime in 2021, and it looks like its easily gonna be top 3 in 2022. What an amazing show, too bad nobody is watching it tho

Finally Lord Changping chooses King's side. I always liked him, and knew the day would come, and always found him cooler than anyone in this anime. We'll get to see him in action in the coming episodes. :D

Nice! Another intense episode... my fave part is when Lord Changpinjun boldly declared his alliance to Sei. Then, another clutch situation for Xin and his troops...

however, I was so confused when Xin said " Zheng's children". As far as I can remember, Zheng only has 1 daughter. Or does it mean that his wife is pregnant with their 2nd child now??!?!?!!?

Too much talking not much insight honestly. Just more ideals and ideas that ultimately will fall in time.

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.

Amazing episode!! Shou Hei Kun finallyyyy. Loved how the crowd turned quiet during his declaration to quell the rebellion in Kanyou. It added so much more depth to the scene. And Shin's speech at the end! Mann this was a great ep. Thank you author and animation team!

Fuck yeah! Lord Changping! I knew he started leaning over to Zheng's side during the war with the coalition army. And what is Lu Buwei planning this time? This mf is not running out of options honestly it's fucking ridiculous.

I see, so they didn't actually know the details of the rebellion. They just expected it to happen during the kingdom's most vulnerable moment.
The appearance of those Imperial Guards gave me goosebumps. They look so badass clad in black.
Damn, Lu Buwei came so close to winning the throne. I almost spoiled myself by reading the history of this rebellion. He was a devious man, but his downfall is set in stone unless this is an alternate history.

damn. am i the only one who felt this episode ended too quick?

chaipun betrayal was one of the greatest twists yet.
and yeah, lu-buwy is on of the greatest character here.
shin and his speeches, lol, this guy never misses a thing. it's been long time since i ever related this guy to ichigo just because of his sayu, but i totally forgot about that since season 2.

lol how lui-si called chaipun bonding "with the enemy". just say it out clear that you betraying the nation you are serving. lol
