Shin Finally Wields the Late Ō Ki's Glaive... The Protagonist's Growth Brings Viewers to Tears with "My Heart Is Too Fired Up" - Anime "Kingdom" Series 6, Episode 3

Episode 3 of anime "Kingdom" Series 6 has been broadcasting sequentially since October 18th. The development where protagonist Shin (CV: Masakazu Morita) finally fights with the glaive inherited from the late Ō Ki (CV: Rikiya Koyama) deeply moved viewers' hearts with reactions like "My heart is too fired up, I can't stop crying" and "He's really grown."

Ō Ki, known as "The Monstrous Bird of Qin," was one of the Six Great Generals of Qin whose name thundered throughout China, and he was like a mentor to Shin. On the verge of death, Ō Ki entrusted Shin with his weapon, the glaive, saying "Go through the carnage together with everyone."

In Series 6, Episode 3 "Formation of the Qin Army," just before an important battle that would determine his promotion to general, Shin met face-to-face with Ei Sei (CV: Jun Fukuyama), the king of Qin. Although Shin had mainly used a sword in battles up until now, it appears he has finally decided to wield Ō Ki's glaive.

Holding the massive glaive, Shin spoke with deep emotion: "At that time (Ō Ki's final moments), honestly so many things came rushing at me all at once that I couldn't even think about this glaive. But now, holding it again, it's incredibly heavy and incredibly hot." Then he boldly declared, "I'm going to blow off Ri Boku's head with this glaive! Sei!"

The sight of Shin having grown both mentally and physically elicited passionate responses from viewers such as "My heart is too fired up, I can't stop crying," "Shin has really grown since he received General Ō Ki's glaive," and "Shin finally has General Ō Ki's glaive... so moving."
