Do you think SHK is good at strategy because he knows a lot or because he knows how to apply them? Again, going back to the law analogy: a lawyer isn't good because they know the law, they're good because they're good at applying their lawyering skills. Likewise, a strategist isn't good because...

You're conflating knowing strategies with being good at strategy. Strategy is not a knowledgebase, it's a discipline. The skill is not in its study but its application. The difference between formally studying it and applying it like the difference between knowing the law and how to apply it in...

Kan Ki didn’t understand because he refused to fight warfare the conventional way. It was as you put it the first time: Kan Ki’s style of warfare was the only one he was capable of because he never learned any different. What Kan Ki understood was human behaviour. Even as a kid, he understood...

This was never really true, considering Kan Ki conquered bandit clans and ammased his own armies in the thousands. At that scale of organisation, they were no longer really bandits anymore. They were an army without a nation to serve. Different skills and disciplines are involved, but there...

Kan Ki was highly unorthodox himself, but he should have still been smart enough to understand the Xs and Os of conventional warfare. Though I can't say shitting on things they don't know or understand is a behaviour I associate with the highly intelligent, he was supposed to be a genius of...

Strategy can be self-taught and unorthodox. If Kyou Kai could manage to develop an acumen for strategy in just a few years, the same should be child's play to a genius of Kan Ki's calibre. Kan Ki eschewing conventional strategy and tactics is one thing. Him being incapable of them is another...

Whatever it'll be, I think it's well past time to find out. imo, I think Hara's biggest miscalculation is balance he struck between story and action. I think early arcs of Kingdom struck a better balance between the worldbuilding and politicking that made the battles more meaningful. Hara’s...

I thought Jyou Ka Ryuu's death was perhaps premature but otherwise pretty good. At worst, it was a minor wrinkle. I don't actually recall it being considered a negative in the online discourse here or on reddit. My criticisms for Gian are mostly tied to Kan Ki, and how it undermined him. For...

:ohreally: I think there's truth in this for the simple fact Eikyuu looks like spun gold to me compared to Hango.

It's been about ~5 years or thereabouts since the end of Western Zhao Invasion. Since then we've gotten: Zhao Crisis Arc (5 chapters) - interesting but short Juuko (13 chapters) - interesting but short Shiyuu Conflict (9 chapters) - I find it more undercooked than outright bad, but it appears...

I have a higher appreciation for Gai Mou than most, but I don't consider him one of my favourites. I'd like Hara to make him stronger/more formidable in the story because I think it would be better for it. It's always bugged me. I don't think Hara's given much comment on the actual fight...

See, if I was wrong about Kingdom being in a decline since WZI, this thread wouldn't be in its current state. Y'all have forgotten but I remember a different time. I remember what the vibes and topics were like when Kingdom was still consistently kino. We didn't know how good we had it. We had...

I'm an ensemble guy. No agendas here, sorry. :vistalaugh:

lol, y'all insult each other's favourit characters like they're spells. :suresure:

Hideous mfer.

Clown shoes.

Kei Sha would've absolutely demolished A Kou.

It pisses me off, because he should know ball by now. Even if he isn't an Xs and Os type of general, by know e should still be able to look at a map and know what the fuck is up. Hara can be so damn frustrating and inconsistent when it comes to Shin.

Such growth. ch 497 ch 801 It's like Hara wants us to hate this donkey.

Hou Ken would’ve been more interesting as a general that became a Bushin. Like imagine if his first loss to Ou Ki humiliated him so much, he killed his own family in all consuming rage. Perhaps part of him believed Ou Ki was stronger because the loss of his woman. And perhaps another part would...
