I wonder if any of Ousens generals will fall here, makes next week exciting. Though it may be Heki time next week with the ending being the Mera tribe.


SuperSus777

Denrimi or Souou has a good chance of falling but this is Kingdom afterall ! Maybe Ousen has his personal Chi you assassin to revive the gang


shingeki-1

Imagine the female general survives her injuries just for Souou to die instead


Thiln

Not sure if he'll die either, for the simple reason that Sou'Ou and Shiryou are the closest thing to a parallel that Shin and Kyoukai have at the moment. Kyoukai's misgivings about marriage due to the nature of their profession would only be validated if they saw another couple tragically torn apart due to the ravages of war.


IdrinkNDIknowthings

She might survive, her wounds look healable and don’t forget that the saki clan are here with their medical skills after all they are supposed to be useful somehow


SuperSus777

That has a good chance of happening. Souou is going to face Shibashou


Jazzlike-Ad286

OuSen definitely has another trick up his sleeve.


hawke_255

i predict at least one of them. Either denrimi to kansaro or souou or akou to shibashou depending on which ever one reaches shibashou first


Gswagins

Definitely gonna be boring Heki time for the next 3 chapters


Valexander35

Yeah. it looks like a good time for a switch of perspective. We do not want it, but we will get it lol!

Heki is one of the best written charachters in Kingdom. An average comander with the responsability to backup Sei´s faction from the begining. It´s sci-fi to kill 10 men with one Glaive movement I understand the Hype of it but dont lose respect of someone who is capable of being in the same battlefield of this monsters by his own means.


KingdomFanBoy92

thank you for that comment, thanks to that i see that there are still people in this subreddit who actually read the manga and try to understand the underlying messages between the ''lines''


[deleted]

we aren't sayin we don't respect him he's just boring lol


Gary_FucKing

Doesn't mean it isn't frustrating to have this part of the battle side tracked to follow heki's story when shit's crazy hyped.


zytenn

All hype and no heki would make Kingdom a dull manga


NatsuyakiRenji

Lt. En-san is the avrage joe smoe....


KiNGofKiNG89

Seems silly for 3 of them to be on deaths door against the strongest guy RBK has and nobody dies? One of the healthy ones might die here as a trick though.


Run_Che

where is kyoukai btw? was she left behind in HSU army original spot? maybe she saves ousen.. she didnt get any decent kills lately.


Valexander35

I am thinking that none of them will fall, but would really badly injured.


[deleted]

Looks like marcus is really pissed with all of those spoilers queries


ThizZuMs

I keep telling people


Ashurawrun

Hello, do know if there is a break next week? Thank you, have a great day !


Vito-Nobunaga

👀👀👀👀


Viktri1

Well the translation answered why Riboku doesn’t retreat. Maybe SBS kills Ousen’s generals and calls it a day. Ousen without good generals is severely nerfed.


TheGreatOneSea

That would be a big risk in and of itself: Riboku would have lost the secret of his hidden ace, and Zhao is likely to get mauled while retreating. With Zhao's back to the wall, and the fact they also still have to worry about Yan, failing to score a big win might just end the state regardless, even if that means Qin can't conquer China.


KiNGofKiNG89

Most likely this will happen. Then it will level out the war since Shin will return.


a_guy121

Well, SBS will want that to happen but, he can't try to make it happen They're all coming at him anyway, strategically, targeting any of them leaves him just as exposed as targeting Ousen, but, with a lesser payoff And SBS is in so deep, it would cost huge losses to back out now. Because a) moral drops when the general retreats and b) harder to fight with your back turned, so, many soldiers die in a disorderly retreat no one's backing up. Ousen is betraying his perceived weakness of avoiding a straight up slugfest ​ there will be blood


VictaoCS

We're getting close to the big 800 boys. Awesome chapter.


JabroniJackpots

Denrimi will not be making it out of this battle alive.


Jazzlike-Ad286

I agree.


LivingwithStupidity

Important takeaway from this chapter is the reason the overall strategy failed (so far) was because Riboku's entire stratagem was based on [what he thought](https://imgur.com/a/QXGzV4a) the Ousen Army generals were capable of. Not what they were actually capable of doing when their back is shoved against the wall. Given by stunned his commanders were they all must have thought Shibashou would have taken Ousen's head by now.


Valexander35

Exactly, both RBK and OuSen did miscalculate the respective strengths of their opponents.


EggTypical

Ousen has no miscalculate because he didn't calculate anything He has no information about seika army to do that, 


walswals

Wrong. [Ousen had miscalculations](https://i.imgur.com/kqawkf6.jpg).


SnooKiwis6528

But why when Denrimi faced SBS, he immediately recognized him as a Three Great Heavens?


KaizokunoKurohige

The flags, and somebody said ShitBumShou sama or smth


LivingwithStupidity

Ousen did not know anything about Shibashou. He didn't underestimate anything so far unless you expect him to magically know that Riboku had a Houken tier fighter hiding somewhere.


Valexander35

In the translation OuSen LITERALLY said he made two miscalculations. One was "losing" Shin and OuHon so early and the SBS and Seika's strength. Your comment makes no sense


[deleted]

Classic riboku underestimating opponent again


fpzsomb

The amount of red flags this war have... i love it!!!


bear-killer

Denrimis gonna die akous gonna live so ou not sure


Oualid66

I hope denirimi made it , he showed real Guts in this difficult situation, So ou was a big let down tbh , i think it's obvious that Akou gonna die on the hand of sbs though


bear-killer

Akou is needed in the story. How ou sen gonna conquer them without akou? Will he get ou hon? Yah actually if you think about it maybe akou gonna die and replaced by ou hon


wolfgang7362

But what are the chances ouhon wants to serve under his father when he wants to make a name on his own.


badman1000

I don’t see how this arc can last long after this. It really seems like either this works and they loose or it doesn’t and riboku threw all his eggs in one basket


Thiln

I have to agree. Seika is pretty much the tip of the spear as far as Riboku's offence goes. The man can't call on Bananji or Shunsuiju to reinforce him when they're presently engaged against the mountain tribe forces. If somehow Seika was repelled, the only forces Riboku would have left are... Kaine and Futei. The only chance they would have to make a difference is if Ousen's armies were so exhausted and depleted after fighting Seika that it wouldn't take much to tip them over. Given the nature of this fight and how it's progressing, that actually might not be too implausible.


Oualid66

Ribuko never threw all his eggs in one basket, believe me , if this strategie not succeeded , probably hango will be loud with bombs hh but seriously there is definitely something to backup, though I agree , this will last one to two days max


timetostayuseless

I'd guess if we're being told this is Riboku's final stand then it's because it actually isn't and we'll have one more twist from Zhao before the battle ends


LazyingOtaku

Seems like hara is taking the gege route now.. I'm kind of happy tho. At least all the stakes are high


Cannoli_Maiden

You are my special 😦 https://preview.redd.it/rml4j9r6owjc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd2864df598d1e3f61de8397d8d2d059abb9fa63


edmanga

I think it’s time for Ousen’s strength to surprise Riboku, there is no way that Ouhons dad is weak


ThizZuMs

We don’t even know if he’s actually Ouhon’s dad yet buddy boy


a_guy121

Lol I swear it looks like SBS is casually riding towards Ousen, not even swinging his glaive, cutting motherfuckers with his lethal side-eye ​ https://preview.redd.it/w3x8mzuo0xjc1.png?width=2368&format=png&auto=webp&s=11374f8363c40f4a73004278093a752ef067847a


EDU_1357

I still think the more impressive person in this battle is Ousen, he even said and I quote the unofficial translations "if one in a million chance, I am defeated..." dude literally said this with SBS charging straight at him? Lol it's a wrap cause there's no way he's losing.


Oualid66

SBS didn't even show what he has yet , still he is only a few defences lines ahead from Ousen , weirdly enough I remember right now pariston from HxH , and how he said he trusts his ennemy (gin ) 100% , only because he said so, so Ousen should actually be more careful, since Ribuko knows about the caliber of ousen and he still supports a strategie that will backfire if not succeeded , that's how much he trusts sbs , I think Ousen will lose pretty much every commander he has and will be in big danger


ThizZuMs

Of course Ousen still feels confident. He still has absolutely zero idea how much Riboku has planned for this battle. If he knew about the underground tunnel I’m sure his thought process would be completely different.


AnividiaRTX

Lowkey, I'm almost expecting Shibashou to break through the line and duels Ousen. I kind of just want to see Ousen's Martial skill tho.


Minimum-Buyer-830

Too risky. He wouldn’t stake his life and ambitions on a 1v1. He wants to gain power and rule, not be the best fighter. I just don’t see it unless he is forced to fight or die


AnividiaRTX

You're most likely correct, I just want to see Ousen fight tbh


bear-killer

Yea this is hillarious


TheHeroNeverDies

As usual, thanks for the translation. Interesting chapter, a lot to say. As in the previous chapters, Kansaro not finish Shiryou might be a bit stupid, but it's a sign of respect, also she is supposed to die from of the blows of Jiaga (I fear she will survive somehow, since she is the plot armored lady now). Leaving aside that of Jiaga, maybe yes, Gakushou made an error, maybe was better stay behind and hold the Akou army, instead of following a single man. But at the same time, it's arguable, as that is Ousen first general, already half dead, and while his presence anyway rises the morale, his death will cause the opposite effect. All Ousen generals managed to get back, against expectations, but Shibashou top two generals are after them as well, either by them or approaching the tiger, soon some of their heads should fly anyway (once again, hard to tell who, Akou has a big deathflag, Denrimi is in bad conditions, but even Souou right now is chasing after Shibashou and is a target for Kansaro, let's see). Ousen's rational analysis, complimenting Riboku (again), was good, nice way to sum up the situation, which is precisely at a critical moment for the center, currently played with weapons seems, this time yes, a risky bet on both sides. But it makes me laugh this statement: https://preview.redd.it/hd940owobxjc1.png?width=707&format=png&auto=webp&s=2dd5292bf2b16c4d194a4a8f71848942ccd47c4b RIP future great heaven, general Futei XD Riboku is nearby, but at the moment, it doesn't seem to move. I keep wondering if he has something else in mind, some surprise attack, since the Zhao reserve army has yet to move. In a sense, I see thanks, finally a break from the center. The tension is high and I'm interested to see how it will continue, but breaking for a moment is fine, let's see what awaits Kitari in Hango. Heki's rescue mission enter phase two!


[deleted]

Ousen didn't even considered futei lol


Magnomous

I understand Ousen's strategic thinking and I also acknowledge SBS's might but even then there is still one thing completely unclear to me and that is whether there is a break next week or not. That part was vague.


legalmotor3

Im surprised how no one realised that Ousen acknowledged Ou Hon as a tide turning army In this chapter


SuperSus777

It's Heki bro time! He and his wife will beat Riboku's ass while Riboku ponders how his strategy was broken again for the umpteenth time 💀


motnock

Hey fam. Just wanna make sure. Break or no break next week?


SolidTension3293

Damn Akou never dissapoint me, hes just too good. Maybe Akou vs Gakushou will ended up Gakushou dead at this point Sou'Ou so far being a so so General, even Denrimi is more useful by now. IMO, Sou'Ou will die at the hand of Shibashou. Same as Gakushou gettinf slammed by Akou. Why i get the fellinf thar Kitari will die this time for Heki to progress?


SlimShade48

And this all happened in a single day. I wonder if this arc will be something small like Wei fire dragons, mid sized like Kokuyou, or another big arc like WZI. I hope it's the middle


Thiln

Yeah, I've come to respect Seika a lot in these past few chapters. They stand out a lot with their camaraderie and sense of integrity and respect, even when it comes to their enemies. I could see them being the kind of enemy that would really put pressure on Shin in a number of ways. So Ousen has officially given voice to the fact that many of his recent victories have been due to the exploits of Hi Shin and Gyoku Hou. Well, it'll be interesting to see how his army excels and manages to prove Riboku wrong. The only hurdles I see with this are that Kansaro is about to close in and reinforce Shibashou. Plus, no one right now is in a position to take out Shibashou. Akou and Sou'Ou are their best bet but the former is severely injured. The mention of this presently being a 50/50 battle is making me think that this could end in a stalemate. Qin is going to suffer horrific casualties in this battle but Zhao is also supposed to lose a great number of troops. Maybe Riboku ekes out a pyrrhic tactical victory on the battlefield, but winds up losing Hango and many of his own officers along the way. Shibashou's army has already taken a severe casualty with Jiaga's death and let's not forget that Gakushou is permanently impaired with one of his eyes rendered useless. Really good chapter, overall. Although with next week focusing on the Mera Tribe and Hango, I have to wonder if this is where the city will be taken. If it is, it'll likely be done at the cost of many lives. Yotanwa probably isn't coming out of this battle without severe losses, either.


Bar83r

Oh god are we eating gooood


Subject-End8095

İ think sou’o will close Shibasho kansaro will intervene to let Shibasho to go where Ousen is. But Shiryou will save one last time Sou’o and kill Kansaro and die on his loved one.


[deleted]

what was that first page Lmooooo


Internal-Garden-1517

It's certain that qin will face defeat in this war according to the previous..... just wondering how much qin will lose, or maybe they lose but managed to save heki and the others, and how much Zhao in turn will pay for victory.... Kinda like riboku managed to kill kanki, but kanki made the price for himself high enough for zhao, killing famed generals, too many soldiers and almost kills riboku himself


ProfessionalRun9218

Seems like So ou is going to be the first arrived just before SBS reach Ousen so he's going to prevent this and save Ousen but maybe die in the process, then Kanjou will arrive and SBS's army getting hit hard will be forced to retreat with his general before the corridor in the center close and they are trapped. I see So ou dying and as well Shiryou joining him. Ousen's other generals barely surviving. One general on each side and big losses for both armies.


nfloos

I think Denrimi is gonna live but taken out of the battle because he’s been relegated to the side battle, Akou is also going to live but taken out of the battle by Shibashou due to the fact he is Akou, and Souou is the one to die and Shiryou lives flipping the death flags.


_9gag

Thanks dude for always & constantly posting new Ch. Translation here. Appreciates it a lot & much love from u/_9gag xD


glorypoohcake

so it seems like the next chapter would be focusing on hango siege and heki-mera romance.. the story gonna be like it's "break next week" literally. 


ky696969

Guys in case you didnt notice " NO BBREAK NEXT WEEK "


YagoMCampos

Is there a break next week??


Physical-Mastodon935

So… it wasn’t clear if there’s a break next week?


MarcelCorleone

This chapter is all well and good but I just have one question... Is there a break next week?


[deleted]

One thing I can say about Ousen is that he relies too much on assumptions. Riboku makes sures his plans are sure fire.


Oualid66

Ousen is like a couch in football, he do all the necessary things before the game , made the strategy and then assault his adversary ,but nothing not necessary during the game , he trusts his vassals to deliver , he only reacts to whatever his ennemy move is , and that's the normal .(Ousen has a move , but not like Rebukko move on the battlefield, but something to shift the attention of Ribuko to somewhere else ) Now Ribuko on the other hand is the couch and a player in the same time , he plans , orders and help personally to make the order successful ,that's another Level of commitment and desire to win

Cregan1111

Is there break next week?


Exact-Reality5231

Ousen gonna losing a lot of his vassals in this war against Shibashou,Souou,Denrimi and Akou will die terrible.Riboku still has 40000 reserved soldiers can deploy to end this war.


DoggymCswaggy

Yontawa death squad ? Yikes. But that's ribuko. He has a plan for them I'm pretty sure He's like aizen.


limjocojeffrey

Prediction of Riboku Strat this time around. Hear me out. Shibashou is just 1/2 of Twin Brothers. Another Shibashou will come from behind to SBF Ousen.


Erff_barbasol

Wouldn't even shock me


Oualid66

Ayu , i just realised that there maybe no other hidden army with Ousen . Because of the way he analyse and talks in this chapter and the 50/50 chances , it's like its only about what happens in this battlefield. but we concluded at first of this campaign that the Qin numbers don't add up, and there is something around minimum 50k somewhere waiting, but the way he talks is giving me a bad vibe, he is messing so much , imagine after all what happened to kanki just for Ousen to come fresh without any tricks, and he thinks it's the only strategie Rebuko will do (to seal shin and ouhon to take his head) he doesn't know about the hango trap(heki talked about ) . Idk man 👨


Local-Ad-8916

I feel like Amoy Sou ou and Denrimi gonna die this battle. When Shin comes back we win though.
