He was supposedly one of the great generals of the era, the man who kept defeating invincible Qin without ever losing himself. So why…?

2Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:06:33.89 ID: ID:0tD4Qfou0

In Kingdom, no matter how you spin it, he can never become a tragic great commander, lol.

3Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:06:44.70 ID: ID:G0aM6fCRd

But he can teleport, though.

4Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:07:35.98 ID: ID:5ICKsBYK0

That is Ri-Bock, so he is basically a different person.

5Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:08:19.23 ID: ID:yxKmJqyj0

It also seems to be the only work in history that portrays Guo Kai as a capable and loyal retainer.

25Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:35:32.34 ID: ID:yW+r2NN10

>>5
The guy is casually holding off Qin’s attacks, lol.

6Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:10:28.95 ID: ID:XafHQ/8aa

They are drawing him like the final boss, but after Zhao falls, there is no way they can draw a stronger character than him.

7Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:10:53.82 ID: ID:WAtuom3L0

Using the royal capital as bait? At this point, he cannot complain no matter what if the king executes him later, lol.

35Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:51:53.81 ID: ID:uY20yq8D0

>>7
This plotline obviously gives them a reason to execute him, lol.

8Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:16:08.46 ID: ID:ElFJCwil0

For now, it is pretty good that he cornered them in the same pattern as Ouki, right?
Doesn’t this mean a named Qin-side character might die here?

It is Jump, you know.
A technique you have already seen once will never work again.

81Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:30:58.26 ID: ID:C/Br8lNP0

The story is about someone else noticing and chasing after them, so they will just hold out until help arrives and that will be it.

91Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:01:31.04 ID: ID:Rs8byaoU0

There is no way the guys leisurely exposing their backs, saying “We have enough force to take the castle!” and attacking the walls without even sending scouts can survive until allies arrive.

84Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:46:26.20 ID: ID:1QKFT1RcM

Even so, the Zhao army is a little too huge…

This bird’s-eye view is full of things to nitpick too. If you are not used to Hara’s manga, it is rough.
The art has seriously been falling apart.
Even though he has been drawing manga for this long.

90Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:58:18.68 ID: ID:5r5tp4iT0

The sense of despair is pretty good, though.

9Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:17:25.73 ID: ID:j6cwRMjY0

He is such a combat monster that he can beat Shin.

10Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:18:12.29 ID: ID:vUNsj04C0

Historically, he was an undefeated general.
But to spotlight Li Mu, Kingdom keeps making him the commander of losing battles and stacking losses on him. It is honestly hilarious.

11Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:18:49.75 ID: ID:IHpbe9Up0

Because that trash manga Tatsujinden, which covered a similar era, was so boring, it makes me cry that Kingdom is still crawling along at a snail’s pace.

28Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:39:04.75 ID: ID:yW+r2NN10

Up to around here, it was honestly pretty interesting.
The final stretch is worse than garbage.

The Battle of Changping and everything around Bai Qi was good.
But the three protagonists and the original bald enemy had zero appeal, the art got worse and flatter, and even though I stuck with it until the end, it really was trash.

33Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:46:52.17 ID: ID:yW+r2NN10

>>32
That manga peaked at Lord Xinling’s rallying cry.
Changping, Handan, and that speech were genuinely hype.
After that, everything went downhill.

13Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:24:32.70 ID: ID:KMpn8h1Ga

It has that irritating manga feeling of:
“After this mid-boss, someone stronger shows up, right…?”
“They do show up… right?”
“Wait… this guy is the final boss?”

14Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:25:43.23 ID: ID:eseQT8YI0

Is Ri-Bock famous in China?
Apparently General Ouki has zero name recognition there.

48Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:16:09.17 ID: ID:uf5bKXDJ0

>>14
Li Mu is about as well-known as Ishida Mitsunari.
If you are into history, of course you know him.
Ouki is seriously someone nobody knows, and for Qin, Bai Qi and Wang Jian stand way above everyone else, while the rest are not famous.
Shin is relatively famous because of his dumb episode and because his descendants, or people claiming to be, later took the realm.

15Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:27:56.99 ID: ID:0tD4Qfou0

Historically, he became famous because he won while massively outnumbered.
In Kingdom, it is just a contest of magically spawning soldiers and teleporting generals, lol.

16Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:31:06.39 ID: ID:2wmuh1tR0

And apparently they even gave the undefeated great general Wang Jian a loss too.

17Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:31:08.46 ID: ID:24ufqwAz0

When you read Kingdom, you can really see how shallow Hara-sensei’s view of history is.

18Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:31:09.03 ID: ID:C9zgmzbM0

The Four Great Generals of the Warring States:
Bai Qi, Wang Jian, Li Mu, and Lian Po.

19Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:32:42.52 ID: ID:WffQT3bA0

An idiot who deliberately uses the royal capital as bait, builds hatred against himself, and gets executed.

20Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:34:04.02 ID: ID:t4Oc404Q0

Li Mu: “This king is dark…”
Readers: “…?? In what way…??”

21Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:34:10.44 ID: ID:C9zgmzbM0

Poor King of Zhao, getting labeled “dark.”

22Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:34:13.16 ID: ID:2wmuh1tR0

The reason Kingdom barely moves forward is mostly because Hara-sensei keeps obsessing over Zhao, right?

27Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:38:28.12 ID: ID:C9zgmzbM0

>>22
Because in this era, most of the Six States had already been wrecked by Bai Qi, and even Qi, which did not share a border, had almost been destroyed once and had only just barely rebuilt itself.

23Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:35:30.81 ID: ID:0tD4Qfou0

It is not so much his view of history. With Li Mu, he just overdid it.
More fatal is that every tactical and strategic reveal follows the exact same pattern.

24Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:35:32.32 ID: ID:2wmuh1tR0

Japan:
Ouki >> Meng Ao

China:
Meng Ao >>> Ouki (Who?)

26Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:37:06.51 ID: ID:K5/aPhNW0

The Mountain Queen escaped from the dog people in a similar situation, so the Hi Shin Unit will probably manage somehow too.
Then maybe the flow is that Li Mu gets executed for using the royal capital as bait afterward.

31Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:42:14.10 ID: ID:l9i5IrDV0

After Bai Qi went wild, it was basically a cleanup match in reality.

34Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:50:16.05 ID: ID:J7J54lqH0

If they had stopped holding back all these mysterious generals who have been fighting lately and thrown them into the Coalition War, Qin would have been destroyed.

36Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:52:50.47 ID: ID:LI9MDqJ40

Even if he had run it by everyone, it would still be pretty insane. Using Handan as bait without permission is something the people around him should have stopped.

37Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:54:41.96 ID: ID:WDr8640c0

You bastard… Li Mu!!

38Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:55:30.10 ID: ID:0tD4Qfou0

We will use the border gate of Retsubi as bait and annihilate a huge army!
We will use the capital Handan as bait and annihilate the Hi Shin Unit!

This is what a great general looks like.

39Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:56:20.64 ID: ID:uY20yq8D0

I can already see him returning in triumph with a smug face and then getting executed.

40Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:57:52.57 ID: ID:WDr8640c0

Someone in the Hi Shin Unit is definitely dying this time. Maybe Sosui or someone around him.

41Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 01:59:08.04 ID: ID:2jAmT5r+0

Some people are somehow still reading just because they want to see every member of the Hi Shin Unit die horribly.
That would be me.

42Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:00:56.50 ID: ID:0tD4Qfou0

The Eclipse of the Hi Shin Unit is going to be fun.
They are all going to die, right?

43Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:01:43.21 ID: ID:NIuvjl2a0

What happened to White Eggplant?
I have not read Kingdom since the era when dogs were the strongest thing in Tough.

44Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:02:09.33 ID: ID:LI9MDqJ40

Isn’t the Hi Shin Unit getting wiped out supposed to happen when the Chu campaign fails?

46Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:08:44.71 ID: ID:DfdtppF10

How many years from now will that even be drawn…?

49Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:21:48.96 ID: ID:C3Edx0Gw0

In other manga, enemies in this sort of position are often popular even if they are on the enemy side. But in Kingdom, he is just seen as annoying and hated. That is honestly hilarious.

50Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:25:02.10 ID: ID:o1oOJlpZ0

The Hi Shin Unit screwup is the one where Li Xin boasts big, marches out, and gets annihilated, right? I am pretty sure Li Xin survived that one, though.

51Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:28:01.41 ID: ID:fWaDsan60

At the very least, I want Minomushi killed in this encirclement. If that happens, I will forgive it.

52Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:30:38.58 ID: ID:o1oOJlpZ0

Karyoten should originally be way more important than Shin, so how did she end up like that?

58Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:44:19.34 ID: ID:B8teiofc0

What is going on with the art getting worse?
I feel like the early parts had more impact.
Now the people look like sticks, don’t they?

59Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:46:36.82 ID: ID:0tD4Qfou0

Historically, Shin’s later fate is unclear, so I could see them tying it to the First Emperor touring the whole country and interpreting it as him searching for the missing Shin.

60Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:53:07.10 ID: ID:QSiqvBtI0

But Shin is going to die next week, right?

63Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:59:09.88 ID: ID:o1oOJlpZ0

>>60
Historically, he does not die. If anything, he lives until the unification of China.

64Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:01:40.97 ID: ID:QSiqvBtI0

>>63
How the hell does he survive from there!?

66Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:05:42.33 ID: ID:oozjABxM0

>>64
Because Wang Jian will teleport in too.

61Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:53:43.59 ID: ID:3mlnds4Pd

I have seen a lot of things, but this week’s teleportation was especially awful.

62Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 02:56:34.46 ID: ID:RJ4ilZsG0

Shin: “There is no way we can beat Li Mu, the greatest genius strategist in all China!! What the hell are we supposed to do!?”

Qin Intelligence: “We successfully ran an internal operation in Zhao and got Li Mu executed as a rebel.”

The fact that this garbage plot is waiting is brutal.
It is worse than Hunter x Hunter killing the King with a nuke.

65Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:04:43.05 ID: ID:xVeNo91t0

I support the theory that Shin becomes Han Xin.
It would tie nicely into Han Xin’s mysterious rise too.
Well, the age is a little forced, but Kingdom can probably make it work.
The problem is that it would turn into an ultra-bad ending.

67Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:09:33.50 ID: ID:o1oOJlpZ0

>>65
Then what happens to Li Xin? lol

68Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:11:28.51 ID: ID:xVeNo91t0

>>67
No, obviously I mean after he lives as Li Xin.

69Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:15:07.53 ID: ID:o1oOJlpZ0

>>68
I see. That would end pretty neatly, though the aftertaste would be awful, lol.

74Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:22:06.83 ID: ID:rXP9E77t0

>>68
This era is so turbulent that it did not really click for me, but if Li Xin was a young general in his 20s or 30s, he would be around his 50s or 60s when Han unified China.
Surprisingly, it is not impossible.

70Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:15:51.76 ID: ID:8zXo2m9k0

A man so busy teleporting generals and soldiers that he forgot to teleport a messenger to Handan.
Sure enough, Shin and his men are trying to climb the walls, Handan is in total panic, and even the bright king who is relatively kind to Li Mu is furious.

71Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:16:25.30 ID: ID:WjOrZPfl0

At the end of the day, it is a superhuman battle manga from Jump.

72Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:18:13.37 ID: ID:8zXo2m9k0

The bit where Wang Jian said they needed twice the soldiers will probably become something like: because of Lord Changping’s betrayal, they could not deploy that many soldiers, but now they have no choice, so they entrust the mission to Shin, someone they can trust from within their own circle.
After all, the subtheme is basically why a tyrant like Qin Shi Huang did not execute him.
It is almost the same as Sengoku.

73Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:20:18.81 ID: ID:WjOrZPfl0

Qin Shi Huang might have looked like a tyrant to people at the time, but he was rational and thought kind of like a modern person.
Except for the immortality mercury stuff.

79Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:27:31.43 ID: ID:Rs8byaoU0

>>73
Even now, without trying to be contrarian, he was plainly the kind of person who loved massacres and forced labor.
He did not personally go to the massacre site like in Kingdom, but he tolerated Kanki’s massacre.

82Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:32:30.50 ID: ID:o1oOJlpZ0

>>79
From there, he feared assassination, made laws, and even sought immortality. In a way, he was pretty small-time.

75Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:22:12.03 ID: ID:8zXo2m9k0

By the way, the climactic Chu campaign will come within the next two or three years.
They seem to have reflected on stretching the Shukai Plains out forever, because now they are destroying states at a much faster pace.

76Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:25:51.55 ID: ID:f/YqvqJ0d

Qin Shi Huang did not massacre all the royal families of the countries he destroyed.
Liu Bang was more thorough about that.

78Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:27:20.19 ID: ID:yW+r2NN10

Looking back now, it was sheer madness that they spent that much page time on Kisui, a man who only kept proving that someone who never rises to the center is exactly that level of person.

83Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:34:45.38 ID: ID:ORcQJ2Kk0

The massacre after Zhao falls has nothing to do with mercury. It is Ying Zheng’s true nature, so it will be hard to depict.

85Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:48:10.30 ID: ID:Rs8byaoU0

>>83
The Hi Shin Unit might seriously end here.
Kyoukai has already been separated, just like history.
This could be what makes Ying Zheng insist that human nature is darkness.

88Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:52:19.21 ID: ID:zJQMVOZ4H

I am looking forward to seeing how Kaine dies.

89Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 03:57:35.32 ID: ID:Rs8byaoU0

Handan is way too thinly defended in the first place.
I guess the explanation is that he teleported them while Shin and the others were leisurely attacking the walls, but it is way too unreliable as bait for a siege.
Those walls are like one-hundredth the thickness of Gyou’s.
Did they forget the setting where after Li Mu took office, he built monster-like castles and fortresses?

92Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:09:45.61 ID: ID:UIn9PQ6m0

Why did the Hi Shin Unit suddenly start a siege in the first place?

If they start before defeating the enemy, of course they will get surrounded.

97Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:26:31.88 ID: ID:oozjABxM0

>>92
They probably believed that the Gakuka Unit and Kyoukai Unit behind them were holding the enemy back.

101Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:59:54.20 ID: ID:C/Br8lNP0

Because once they broke through, they arrived.

95Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:15:19.44 ID: ID:+rm+al90a

It cannot be helped because Hara loves Li Mu too much and keeps shoving him into wars he did not even participate in.

96Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:25:44.09 ID: ID:SW0u3+q10

The art is bad.

98Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:29:13.73 ID: ID:oozjABxM0

Next week will be Wang Jian teleportation or mountain-bandit teleportation anyway.
Almost all the main forces they are facing are coming to hunt the Hi Shin Unit.

99Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:31:14.68 ID: ID:iodH6DvO0

Isn’t the Hi Shin Unit’s strategist barely doing anything?

100Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 04:49:44.27 ID: ID:KsgtpMn00

When someone calls Li Mu incompetent, it is easy to tell they only know Kingdom.
He was a great general who crushed the Xiongnu.

102Unknown Japuzz Watcher2026/06/12(Fri) 05:01:34.28 ID: ID:pdtFTWJG0

Instead of forcing Li Mu into everything,
Lord Chunshen
Houken
would have been much better as arc bosses.
