Shin's supposed training gets skipped over as Zhao attacks Qin! There's so much possibility in this volume and I'm worried that not even half of it will matter. I'm disappointed in not seeing Shin actually learn to lead- maybe we'll see that in flashbacks, maybe not.

I'm interested in seeing what the heck this "Houken" person is about. It's weird seeing them be an almost larger-than-life fantasy character swinging a polearm and decapitating a dozen people at once... so less grounded than anything else, but I guess we've seen similar displays from people like Ouki cutting someone in half at once or a myriad of singular enemies. I have so many question- we've had a scene about the importance of generals, as individuals, in winning wars, but Houken is toted as not really being a general rather an exceptional individual fighter. Is Houken going to be an example of the power of individual skill people like them and Ouki have? Someone to defeat and show just how important tactics and strategy is instead of individual skill? Is this Ouki raising one too many death flags for himself? I have no idea, I'm worried what impact this is going to have, but heck I guess you can call this volume a success if it makes me care enough to question these things.

Forse uno dei volumi più eccitanti letti finora non solo per la potenza e l’imponenza dei personaggi disegnati dal sensei, ma soprattutto per ciò che verrà dopo ovvero la battaglia tra l’armata del Qin (comandata dal Generale supremo Ouki) e quella dello Zhao (comandata da Houken, che si credeva fosse morto per mano di Ouki, dopo che aveva ucciso uno dei sei grandi generali del cielo).
E in tutto questo Shin sarà nel cuore della battaglia, pronto a mettere il piede su un altro scalino che lo porterà a essere uno dei più grandi generali della storia.

Very exciting. Zhao attacks and General Ouki decides to accept the position of Command-in-Chief to lead the Qin in defense.

Je suis le Bushin.
Mon nom est Houken.

Nous retrouvons notre protagoniste Shin et son ami, le roi Ei Sei, au début d'une terrible guerre contre l'état de Zhao qui vient se venger du massacre de Chôhei. Et s'ils brillent encore par leur développement doux mais qui installe déjà les prémices de leurs exploits futurs qui ne décevront pas, ainsi que le trait de Hara qui est toujours aussi plaisant, il y a toutefois deux choses qui m'auront aussi énormément marquées dans ce tome: Ouki se met en marche et on nous introduit un nouveau personnage du nom de Houken. La guerre s'annonce rude et l'adversité de ces deux hommes, qui semble remonter quelque part dans le passé il y a 9 ans, n'arrangera certainement pas les choses.
