I'm so glad to see Kingdom back because we got a hell of an episode on the battlefield.

Guys like Mou Bu knew the high stakes. A lot of emotions on the battlefield too. I like how Ka Rin just sits there and have everything figured out in her head. The mind games and psychology on the battlefield was really quite something.

I really enjoyed this episode. I was shocked how good the new opening and ending were and Karin's strategic planning was wonderful to see.

I wasn't expecting to see a new opening and I honestly prefer the first one a lot more.

Meng Wu is definitely Qin's MVP for this war after this episode.

I was looking forward to how they will anime one of my favorite moments in all of manga. turns out, the censorship and lack of creative choreography/budget turned one of the most hype moments in all of manga into a panel for panel censored lackluster conclusion.

Will it be Meng Tian or Lei Qiang going to be one that takes down General Karin?

I can't believe Xiang Yi was a match to Teng, making his hair stand up straight is a feat I guess?

Kinda prefer the old Op song, but this one looks better. We also have a new Ed song which is mediocre to me. The second coalition general falls in battle, giving a huge boost to morale. Sad that the censorship continues which was something I was looking forward to...
We are only here for a short amount of time, I want to waste as much of that time possible doing nonsense

Amazing episode, and great return of the show.

Both OP and ED are great, visually and the songs.

Beast MENG WU!

03:55 "HAN MING is the stronger man. But i have faith. Faith that you, MENG WU, will be the man who tears him down."

MENG WU has slain HAN MING, commanding general of Chu!

21:05 "You want to sleep with me that badly, hmm?"


The new OP and ED are good, especially the animation.

I am pretty sure General TENG wasn't putting much effort there. We don't see him making any core strategies, as he is already a OP character.

The other possibility is "Xiang Yi is fighting to sleep with Wa Lin (Ka Rin)".

LOVEEEEEEE the new OP, perfectly animated and drops just the right amount of teases for manga readers to know what's going on and keep anime onlies curious. Ep was fantastic as well. After a shaky start, this season has turned out to be amazing so far.

That big ladies tactics scare me, all the hype from the victory dissipated just hearing her lolz.

Behold of my awesomeness~

from some reason i foresaw that tactic, her actions weren't much and she showed herself too much, considering her personality i'm not that surprised, but still love the quality of the mind game kingdom supplies.

i don't get the complains on violence. those who wants uncensored would read the manga. this series unfortunately is airing in public channel, if it would have blood and head crushing stuff it will lose it's sponsors and we won't get anymore kingdom's seasons.
from some reason i don't care so much, i get to see kingdom's awesome story, and this season is the best considering art, animation, and OST. and like the other seasons, even if they have faulties, the story is just making all better.

i liked 1st opening much more, but compare to s2 once piece-ish opening it's matching the anime theme much as the first one.

These new theme songs slap harder than Mou Bu. Epic episode and the tension hasn't worn off in the slightes with Ka Rin's plan in motion.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Just when I thought the Qin army already has the momentum after defeating Han Ming then bam! The sudden reveal of Wa Lin's elite army sneaking behind Hangu Pass! Man, my heart can never rest from all these tension.... but loving it soooo much!

Fervently hoping that they can still defend Hangu Pass in the next episode.

I don't quite understand Ka Rin's position. She came out of nowhere, now she's the big mastermind behind all these schemes? A character we barely know anything about, has so much screentime. She's even overpowering Ri Boku in terms of tactics at the moment. Aside from that, Mou Bou managed to defeat Kan Mei even though the brother of Ka Rin almost slashed him from behind but Mou Ten defended him. It was obvious that he wouldn't die but he's wounded, probably won't fight for now. Anyway, Ka Rin's 5000 soldiers are going to attack Kankoku Pass from behind and it will fuck them up hard.

I wonder how, in the future would Xin measure up to a duel with giants like Meng Wu. He wants to be the greatest general right. I don't think he can square up with that body build. Anyway, that female general is really pissing me off honestly.

I expected Meng Wu to get that second wind. Damn, he brutalized Han Ming. The one thing I didn't expect was Wa Lin making big-brain plays. I thought she didn't care about this war.
The new OP & ED sounds good.

That was one of the greatest episodes of Kingdom. Mou Bou really showed he's the mightiest in the middle kingdom, and its good to not see Mou Ten dying yet, thats why Mou Bou wasnt even fazed by what happened to his son. Also, the new sick ending is here, they look so dope with that terracotta army
