Chapter 813 of kingdom in English

You definitely bugging on this though.

For one, Haku'Ou Koku may be the stronger fighter still - with or without weight. He is a general that excells in direct confrontation, after all. Secondly, and more importantly, he is the #2 general in Han. That is exactly the kind of feather Shin needs in his cap right now after his blunder at Hango.

Yoko Yoko is just another enforcer. He's another Buddha - not a bad scalp, just not one Shin needs.

If anyone needs a scalp like that, it's Tou or Kyou Kai as it's been fucking milennia since they collected a notable head.

you know I think you're right there. The number 2 general of one of the 7 states is exactly what Shin needs. He hasn't gotten a general kill in quite awhile. Nothing saying Shin can't get both, but I would dislike because like you said, Tou and Kyoukai need some kills.

I think at some point Karyoten will see Yoko Yoko. Maybe Kyoukai will have to save her from him?

Fair enough.

I don't think that's likely if Raku'A Kan is engaged with Tou, but then again, for all we know, that mfer is a STR 94 that can hang and afford to send Yoko Yoko off on his own.

that's fair. I always headcanon Raku'A Kan as like ... Keisha or Mangoku level but Hara could make him stronger than Rinbukun.

even if he's not that strong, he bears the weight of an entire state, so he could probably thrash Tou pretty hard

Given the size of his blunder at Hango, I very much hope Shin will get more than one notable feat/kill in this campaign to redeem himself.

Though I admittedly do increasingly doubt it, Wei, Zhao and perhaps Chu could still get involved in this upcoming battle and create more opportunities for everyone.

Yoko Yoko looks like a STR 95 to me, about on par with Rozo. He'd be a good scalp for whoever gets him. I do wonder if his headpiece is connected to Ka Ryo Ten's supposedly extinct clansmen.

Same, I had him pegged as a STR 86-87 max, but who knows.

I don't doubt that Raku'A Kan has some hefty weight, but I don't think he'd have his moment with Tou like Chou Ga Ryuu did against Shin. I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get a clean hit in even with his weight boost.

However it goes down, I'm just hoping for it to be interesting, or at the very least decently written.

yeah it's possible. I have a feeling that at least a few of the Han guys will survive and end up serving Qin but I'm not sure. I would be disappointed if Tou uses Shin to kill Raku'kan, should be Tou's kill imo.

Yoko Yoko looks like a STR 95 to me, about on par with Rozo.

he could be that strong... but I don't really see it. just lack of presence.

I think he'll be above Batei/Shiryou guys, and maybe.... Bananji level at best? Not sure really. Depends on who he fights.

i'm not even sure if Mr Moubu Replica will even be above Kisui, but i share your sentiment that i'm just hoping it will be entertained and well-written.

There will definitely be Han officers that survive and fight in the Zhao campaigns, no doubt. Raku'A Kan may be one of them, for all we know. Whatever happens to him, I don't think Shin kills him. There's really nothing liking the two and he'll have his hands full with Han's #2 general and army.

It annoyed me Hara skipped adding any interesting officers from the 22K Tai Gen reinforcements that they got, but hopefully the HSU will absorb some interesting Han talent. Of all generals, it certainly makes sense for the HSU to be selected for integration with Han forces, given their reputation and achievements in Nanyou. Of course I won't hold my breath on that.

The guy is massive is relative to Roku O Mi and likely a good deal stronger than him. I think his presumed function as the enforcer in Han's strongest army, i.e. the strongest warrior of Han, warrants a minimum of STR 94, making him on par with BNJ and RBH.

To me, given his seeming intellect, he appears to be a Rozo or Buddha tier fighter, which is imo an appropriate level for the strongest fighter in the weakest kingdom.

i'm not even sure if Mr Moubu Replica will even be above Kisui, but i share your sentiment that i'm just hoping it will be entertained and well-written.

Last we saw of Ki Sui he imo met the criteria for the designation but was absolutely on the lower end of the "regular" Great General spectrum.

If Raku'A Kan is the real deal, and he has reason to hold Haku'Ou Koku in esteem, then I think it's fair to say he'll be considerably more formidable, which only makes sense at this point in the story.

Anyone at Shukai Ki Sui's level trying to challenge this current HSU is extremely likely to get routed, never mind attaining victory.

I do wish Han had a Ten Bows general or officer of some kind to to help them mitigate against Kyou Kai and Kyou Rei.
