My favourite arc so far! An assassination attempt on Sei, with Shin and Kyoukai now on opposite(?) sides after working together in the Wei war arc. My favourite moment of the series so far is Shin seeing the assassins approach and immediately moving to protect Sei, Ten, and the palace girl. In nearly every single moment of his life up to this point Shin has blazed past enemy lines, recklessly thrown himself into battle, and gone on the offensive to prove himself. For what feels like the first time his initial instinct is to hold position and defend others! Sure he's protected people before but that moment where he spots the assassins and stands his ground is great.
Kyoukai's backstory, which I can't mention due to spoilers, is infuriating (in a good way) and sets up what I expect to be a great arc/motivation for them going forward- not just this quiet but skilled child who came out of nowhere but someone with a goal and purpose that drives them. Because this series definitely needed a Sasuke-type yup mhm
Je ne sais pas si j'aurai un jour un autre mot qu'incroyable à la bouche après avoir lu un tome Kingdom. On ne se lasse pas des combats, les adversaires sont tous redoutables et pourtant l'auteur réussi à se renouveler à chaque fois, sachant qu'il y a une cinquantaine de tomes à ce jour j'ai de plus en plus hâte de lire la suite.
Vedere all’opera Kyoukai (del clan Shiyuu) con la sua danza della morte è impressionante. Ancora di più scoprirne la vera identità e come è diventata quella che è diventata tramite un doloroso e violento flashback.
Kyoukai's centered volume that reveals his past and motivation. And finally, that man makes an appearance, after a long foreshadowing coming back from volume 1.
