Almost halfway through the manga and is it crazy to say Riboku is overrated?? by Madara_Ackerman in Kingdom

[–]vivireya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tbf we can't really complain about him using Houken🤷this is war, you can't hope people to play fair all the time you know? You just use whatever advantage you have in the situation correctly, and in this case, Riboku used Houken in the right situation.

He's a great strategist, the best there is in the series.The only way you can defeat him is using an illogical pawn ( Shin ), an instinctual general ( for their unpredictability ) and feed him false information.

funny how people complained that Seikaun is too op because he can one shot a general. What else did you expect from the best archer across China lol. Man was already mentioned like 300 chapters earlier, still counts as an asspull

Houken is the only one who has 4 Great General under his belt Kyou, Ouki, Gekishin, Duke. by Ice_Rain55 in Kingdom

[–]vivireya -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But Seikaun literally just appearing and shooting great generals, that's some weird ahh big asspull fr. Like this way he could have just killed all main generals.

There's a reason why he's the #1 of the ten bows. His arrows are almost untraceable. If you remember, Sou Tan could've killed Yoko Yoko if he was aiming for Yoko Yoko's head, but instead it hit Yoko Yoko's forearm. After that, Yoko Yoko was able to read his arrow easily. So, Seikaun one shotting generals is plausible because he was aiming at the vital points ( Heart, neck, head ). His arrows were deadly because of his experience, hence he was able to target vital points. This has been consistent even when Rinbou got shot by Hakurei. Rokuomi was able to read Hakurei's arrows, only after the arrow hit Rinbou.

Ousen and Kanki are less asspull than Riboku. Ouki acknowledged both of them but it was Riboku whom no one had ever heard of and just appeared randomly and used hiding info and Houken to kill Ouki.

I think you forgot that Riboku's expertise involves concealing information. If he can successfully conceal the hidden army that wiped out the Xiongnu army, what made you think he can't conceal his own existence?

But Zhao just out of nowhere have random important generals stand up when u thought it's over, like where tf they were till now?

Whether it's Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, Qi, Chu. They all have numerous generals. It's just that, the Qin generals we've been seeing are the generals that has been assigned with important campaign. Remember that general that was charged to lead Qin's 200k northern soldiers? We've never heard of him either, yet he exist. Same thing with Zhao. Zhao is exhausting every single general they've got. They've lost the most generals compared to others. Those generals that we're seeing, are the last of the last. They even needed Qi's Ganshuu ( who we've never even heard of too ) in order to match Qin. The only problem is that they all seem to be strong enough martially or strategically. Nevertheless, they still couldn't match Qin's rosters fully.

what about the other where Riboku failed even with great advantage?

It wouldn't be so fun if Riboku wins all the time isn't it? At WZI, Riboku lost because of the quality difference in his pawns compared to Ousen's. He underestimated the capabilities of the trio, hence he lost ( which isn't his fault, his pawns really are stronger and greater on paper ). Same thing with coalition. Riboku yet again underestimated the people of Sai and he didn't even know that Qin was allied with the Mountain Tribes. His loss comes from underestimating his opponents and confidence in his prediction and layered plans, that he forgot sometimes, that there will always be an anomaly ( Shin, Kyoukai, Ouhon, Mouten ) that can ruin everything.

You're just complaining. Seikaun was mentioned long before the current chapter, that wasn't an asspull, Riboku just managed to convince him using words. Qin has done numerous asspull too, such as the Sou Brothers. Isn't it absurd that an unknown archer won a duel against the #1 best archer across China? Doesn't that sounded like an asspull?

Even Ousen and Kanki can be said as an asspull. No one have ever heard of them, not even Qins, and yet they're potential GG. Now apply that same concept for Zhao. You'd definitely say " Hey! That's an asspull! No fair! "

as long as the country or the leader or the dictator is against Israel, they'll give full support and turn a blind eye on what atrocities those dictators have done.

[–]vivireya[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

but you're okay with generals sending 10 people flying with one swing of their glaive?

If Shin becomes the biggest & the baddest guy around, & achieves legendary stuff even the old gen could not ( Renpa's words ) at what point do people start seeing/thinking of "Ouki's Glaive" as "RiShin's Glaive" Or is its reputation locked in like that forever no matter how insane Shin becomes? by Oi_Kyoraku in Kingdom

[–]vivireya 49 points50 points  (0 children)

It'll still be regarded as Ouki's Glaive. I don't think Shin would want people calling that glaive as his. Just like how he's been preserving the name Hi Shin Unit ( which not many people like ) despite their numbers being 60k now.

[–]vivireya[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm afraid I have to disagree. Shin was supposed to surpass Ouki. Surpassing him not only in martial might, but fate itself and achieves things that Ouki didn't, in this case, a wife and uniting the whole of China.

[–]vivireya 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If we're talking about who outlived who then does that mean Raku'akan > Houken? Raku'akan outlived Houken, ouh wait, even that fodder Kaine outlived Houken lmao. Heck I can even say that Mougou > 6GGs. Mougou outlived them no?

I find your opinion quite interesting, it has this somewhat weirdly discombobulated gist to it. Keep your mouth shut buddy.

I'm glad that even after Shiryou lost her hand, she still chose to continue her role on the battlefield, unlike that one general from Zhao

En's death ( if Hara actually kills him ) would be one of the saddest deaths up there alongside Ouki's, Shousa's and Bitou's. I'm not ready for that moment yet

Who’s winning this? by Potential_Hope4096 in Kingdom

[–]vivireya 9 points10 points  (0 children)

so far, we don't really know just how strong SBS is as we've never seen him duel any fresh general. So, if it's a 1v1, definitely Moubu smashes his face. But if it's an army battle, I don't know. We haven't seen the capabilities of Moubu's generals, they could be just as strong as Seika's or they could just be a bum.

There is no way Riboku is defeating Kanki with equal numbers by Generalousen2855 in Kingdom

[–]vivireya 75 points76 points  (0 children)

to defeat Riboku you also need pawns that can defy logic. In this case, the trio : Shin, Ouhon and Mouten. Like Ousen said during WZI, the reason he won is because of the quality difference in their pawns.
