I am still holding out hope that the valiant Choukotsu comes in clutch against Shin.
I'm over here thinking that we would get Shin vs Kansaro lol.
Like seriously, let's think about this from Riboku's perspective. Let's ignore the fact that Shin killed Houken.
Shin defeated Chou Garyuu in a clean fight, Chou Garyuu straight up used a 3GH level defense tactic on Shin and also performed an optimal retreat and Shin still defeated him.
Shin also defeated Gakuhaku Kou with an extreme terrain disadvantage.
Shin ALSO broke through Gakushou's Seika army and escaped the encirclement at Gian. Riboku himself fangasmed at this feat.
So if I'm Riboku, I'm over here thinking that Shin at this point is a legit key general of Qin and has to be taken extremely seriously. He must just know a lot of shit about Enkan that we don't as I never got the impression that Enkan was a particularly strong Zhao general lol, he was just kind of there at Gian.
Either Riboku has some serious confidence in Enkan, or he's just betting on Shibashou steamrolling Ousen in the center and just doesn't really care what happens on the Zhao left, lol
