Synopsis
Following the conclusion of the large-scale coalition campaign, the entirety of China is in a state of economic recovery. The victor of the battle, the state of Qin, is no different. There, the political parties led by Ying Zheng and Buwei Lü continue their inner conflict. Having played the role of king in the coalition battle, Zheng has the trust of the people—but Lü is far from out of the fight. In 18 months, he plans to interrupt Zheng's coming-of-age ceremony. Meanwhile, a Zhao army numbering 20,000 troops has set out toward Qin. In the royal court, due to the lack of generals capable of responding to the incoming threat, Lü slyly suggests that Zheng take command. However, Cheng Jiao, Zheng's half-brother, volunteers instead. As they grew to trust each other during the coalition battle, Zheng now accepts Jiao as his replacement. However, the Zhao forces retreat a mere half-day after clashing with Jiao's army. With trouble quickly brewing in the shadows, the internal struggle of Qin is only complicated further. There are only two men Zheng feels he can rely on: Bi, a general who commands 30,000 men; and Xin, the leader of the Fei Xin force. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Kingdom masterfully navigates complex themes such as politics, warfare, and betrayal, elevating the anime to a level of unparalleled intrigue and depth. Through its intricate storytelling, the series delves into the ruthless world of ancient China's Warring States period, where power struggles and political maneuvering shape the destiny of nations. The portrayal of political intrigue is compelling, showcasing the cunning strategies employed by ambitious individuals vying for dominance. Moreover, the depiction of warfare is both visceral and strategic, highlighting the brutality of battle while also showcasing the tactical genius of military commanders. Betrayal is a recurring theme in "Kingdom," adding layers of complexity to the charactersand their relationships. Whether it's allies turning against each other for personal gain or enemies exploiting vulnerabilities within their ranks, the series explores the consequences of betrayal on both a personal and societal level. This exploration of betrayal adds depth to the narrative, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats as they witness the shifting allegiances and hidden agendas of the characters. Furthermore, "Kingdom" excels in its portrayal of human ambition and the pursuit of greatness. The protagonists, particularly Xin, are driven by a burning desire to rise above their circumstances and leave a lasting legacy. This relentless pursuit of glory leads them into dangerous territory, where they must confront their own limitations and make difficult choices that will shape the course of history. In summary, "Kingdom" is a tour de force in storytelling, tackling complex themes with nuance and sophistication. Through its exploration of politics, warfare, betrayal, and more, the series offers a gripping and thought-provoking viewing experience that will leave audiences spellbound until the very end.

Kingdom 4th season is better than any previous season, not only in animation, but also in story. This season has seen a lot of plot twists unravel, tangles cleared up, and truths revealed. It features everything, from the heartbreaking moments of losing a loved one, to getting over things that are extremely difficult to overcome, forgiving the unforgivable, accepting the consequences, and striving for greatness. The character development just keeps getting better, the fights are of the same caliber as last season, and the pacing is great. If you've made it this far in this series, you won't be disappointed with this season, far from it, you'll be gladyou made it this far. Overall, this season in my opinion is the pinnacle of the series as of right now and continues to give the viewer excitement, enjoyment and something to look forward to. > This review was made after Season 4 ended

Kingdom was my hidden gem anime of 2022. Binged all 4 previous seasons and caught up in this season, and I am glad I discovered it! For this 4th season, I think it has a little something for everyone: action, politics, heart-wrenching moments, comedy here and there, etc. The story is as exciting as ever with the large-scale battles and we see a lot of growth with characters and in their relationships with one another. I think that was the best part for me; somehow, this show effortlessly communicates growth and maturity with good pacing and well-placed flashbacks that give context to the minds ofkey characters this season. This is well woven into the plot and makes for an engaging viewing experience. I know some may not enjoy this as much as the end of previous season where the stakes felt higher. I do think that there was somewhat less tension in the battles this season and this is the only part I wish was done better. But all in all, the experience that the plot gave overshadows that for me, and that makes it a solid 9 out of 10 in my opinion. Don't sleep on this great anime!!
