So it does seem like Akou is indeed Riboku's intended target.

If so, I'm not sure I agree with Riboku's reasoning of Akou being the most troublesome enemy in the battle. Now, Akou and his army are very strong. But despite what Akou is capable of doing, his tactical prowess, his way of fighting and his might - Riboku at Shukai almost sent him to the grave, he understood him completely.

Yet, there are other two individuals present here who back then at Shukai proved to be key factors in the Qin side achieving victory, I'm of course referring to Ouhon and Shin. Ouhon is a very polished commander who was able to overcome Zhao's pawns, Gyou’Un amongst them. Shin did the same and in the most recent war against Kanki, he made the most brilliant instictual move in his career, so much that Riboku got reminded of Duke Hyou. For the type of commander he is, Shin is probably the most troublesome factor for Riboku.

Both Ouhon and Shin have kept on growing, both are key generals for Qin now, both have proven to be extremely disrupting against the opponent in the right context. Akou is a chad but right now I'd be more concerned about these two.

Agreed. I think this conclusion is strange. The Akou army probably has less firepower than Yotanwa's army and given what happened to Shunsuiju I thought RBK would be more concerned about her side, not that he's in any trouble what firepower is concerned with a literal three great heaven by his side.

Anyways I would really hate it if SBS comes and pulls a Houken, it wouldn't do Akou and RBK justice.

The mountain tribes have big firepower but I think Riboku has a huge amount of respect for Akou and his army of badasses. The man is capable of tactics who stopped at the first line of defence three freaking armies attacking together, a wall of iron. Bananji, whose destructive power was compared with Renpa's, - literally if I remember he sent a few soldiers flying and then couldn't get any further in.

All those guys had no answer to this, Riboku himself dismantled this tactic and created the plan to take Akou out...and Akou even ended up (by miracle) surviving.

That being said, Shin/Ouhon are still more dangerous for Riboku's plan than Akou is.

About SSJ and Bananji...man I sure hope Riboku has thought this one out otherwise they're gonna be in trouble against Yotanwa lol.
 
By the way it's interesting how Hara, in the other chapter, paralled Ousen/Ouhon & their subordinates respective understanding about the situation.





Sou' Ou and the soldier with Ousen wonder if Zhao are matching their speed to Qin's, whereas Ousen deduces that no, they are actually fixing position and they are aiming for something.

Ouhon's soldiers similarly wonders if the Zhao are matching Qin's speed on purpose and Ouhon, just like Ousen, understands that it's not about that but about the position and that then Zhao must be aiming for something.

I don't want Akou to die but at the same time I think Ouhon is built to be his father's RHM at some point where Ousen actually acknowledges him like he does Akou.
 
Y’all setting yourself up with disappointment hyping up A Kou.

Taking the bait is the height of arrogance, and he will be dealt with accordingly shortly.
The current situation is such an obvious and huge death flag for Akou that I think he's walking out of this alive. Hara is way too obviously paralleling Makou's death here.

If Ousen falls to the same trick twice then I have to question his intelligence. At the very least lecture your generals about the specific methods and tactics the enemy likes to use.

I am standing by my view earlier in the arc that A Kou is guaranteed to live. I have zero doubt whatsoever that Hara has no appetite for killing him and finding a new, reliable vassal of that calibre for Ou Sen. Mou Ten or Shin may join him down the line, on a temporary basis, but neither will be a vassal or swear their allegiance.

That being said, I do believe A Kou, in moronically taking this bait, will be responsible for setting off a chain of events that will lead to the death of Sou'Ou.

Right now, he is surrounded and fending off attackers. I don't think it unlikely that Ri Boku having another layer or two this trap (he knows how the A Kou Army performed without him at Shukai), but even if he doesn't, I suspect Ji Aga will be on the move shortly and smash into the A Kou Army's flank, forcing Sou'Ou to mobilise and eventually meet his end, either at the hands of Ji Aga or another vassal.
