I found the Zhao vs Zhao battle weird, how do they distinguish allies from enemies. The assassinations have begun, can't wait to see how Xin handles it.

We're also seeing a lot of prominent people in the story coming out from Zhao, they will ultimately be the biggest hurdle to Sei in the end.

New ending! Not as exciting as last one :/
Good enemy setup episode.

Xin vs Rinko (Narrow eye Assassin guy) next episode. Was this in the Manga? I don't remember that fight.

I was wondering the exact same thing!

The last part of the episode is sad though, we had just met and liked the general like 2 minutes ago :/

Anyone know Lian Po's VA? Apparently Lun Hu is Takahiro Sakurai but I'm unsure on Lian Po.

Edit: Nevermind, found it. It's this guy: http://myanimelist.net/people/742/Naomi_Kusumi

Damn I just love how many different plot elements and themes they fit in an episode. We got some interesting backstory on Lian Po and set the stage for the rest of this arc, while also hinting towards the imminent conflict with Zhao. Then we get some good State of Qin battle action and a portrayal of how unlikely it is for Xin and his band of misfits to be getting so many achievements, and encouragement through Guo Bei. His being relatable to Xin was instantly heartwarming. He could've been a great character in the story, but bam, they flip the switch on us at the end. He piled up death flags like mad in a couple of minutes, but damn it was still rough.

No doubt Xin will have been affected by him and go after that bastard Lun Hu. Next episode looks intense.

No wonder I have a bad feeling that the servant thousand general will die.... he is someone that Xin looks up to now. Xin will probably be so angry. And I miss the previous ending song already. Anyway, Sketchbook still did the song which is good.

I had that feeling too with Guo Bei, but didn't think it would happen a couple mintues later : (.

I thought it would be more dramatic, like Xin failing to save him in a future battle, but this outcome was nice and unexpected.

I was so confused when I saw the four heavenly kings of Wei, it must be customary to have a little old man and a smart, pretty boy strategist in every magnificent four trio lol.

I'm also very interested to see who the generals will side with when the Kingdom eventually splits. I'm assuming right now its only Changwenjun, Heki, and Shi Shi on Ying Zheng's side, and the entire Meng family siding with Lu Buwei.

Love how Xin's men had no doubts about following him after his fall, lol. But dang, I thought that commander was doomed because of how nice he was. But I didn't think he would get chopped down so fast!

Xin should learn an important lesson from this events. Always walk with bodyguards(or a certain cute vice-captain).

He actually have a few body guard in the manga, but Rinko and his assassin squard kill them in blink of an eye. To be honest, 50 more body guard or even Xin himself won't save him from Rinko.

The new ending is awesome! Just as I made a note to myself to remember guo bei's name he gets striked down. How did lun ho get inside their camp without anyone noticing. Im wondering if the op is a spoiler now. Does Xin actually beat or at least fight that monster lian po? Man I cant wait to find out.

Damn ok a lot of stuff happened but Imma start with Lian Po. I like this guy especially with what he did fleeing his country cause of what its new king did to him. I would've done the same. Besides, Kings shouldn't even be able to do that otherwise they're just dictators with fancier titles. You know what, they actually are like that now that I think about it. Second, that whole siege was comedy gold lol! And lastly, I was literally thinking like 3 seconds before he was assassinated that this good guy 1000-man commander is gonna die, as is law and then boom. RIP.

In the end the Ren Pa guys felt a little weak and should have been more powerful kike adaptation wise not strength-wise.

Was not expecting that thousand man commander to be killed off just like that, right after meeting him.

Shin and his unit are always a blast to watch, flawed and unpredictable, yet his unorthodoxy has come in great use plenty of times. More people taking notice of Kyou Kai's skills as well.
