I am using the 13 as a base to decide (since it is the one I played the most)

I was thinking something like

LEA 70 - he is good at increasing the morale and extracting the best of his troops, however in other aspects of LEA stat he is too bad like giving good orders, keeps the formation organized, coordinates thousands of soldiers, maintains discipline, and gets the troops to function as a cohesive unit.

WAR 90 - The easiest to decide (aside from GOV) he is pretty good but a little bellow guan yu for example.

Int 30 - lower tham zhang fei

Gov 1 - just like su bin special character has 1 of war I think shin is incapable of doing governament things.

Strategy - I thought about thousands slayer since he is known for giving up defense to have a great attack and losing more troops tham normal.

Just to be clear, I am talking about kingdom shin and not the real one.

1st scenario: Both receive 50k soldiers and will fight each other, consider all their subjects as equal generic soldiers, captains and etc.

2nd scenario: Same 50k soldiers but they have the same subjects each one has in their respective universe

3rd scenario: A duel, both with their favorite weapon and armor.

4th scenario: If you think shin loses the duel, how would a battle of Kyou kai + Shin vs Lu Bu would be? Like Lu Bu vs Guan yu + Zhang fei + Liu bei. Would Shin and Kyou kai win?

Bonus scenario: duel between Lu Bu and Houken who would win?

My personal opinion is

1- Lu Bu wins, he has better generalship abilities and is much better commanding, I don t think shin would be able to exploit his weakness. I d say it is like 90/10 to Lu Bu

2- This one is more close, Shin power increases a lot but, in my opinion more tham Lu Bu's, however I still think Lu Bu could win most times, loke 70/30 or 60/40

3- In my opinion here Lu Bu has a great advantage, I don t think shin weight as general would matter like houken s battle since he also would probably have this weight, I honestly think Guan yu is stronger than shin and zhang fei is probably near this level or above shin too, so the fact that Lu Bu stale mated the 3 brothers weight too much. 95/5 to Lu Bu or even 100/0

4- This one I don t know, maybe they would stale mate too? Or maybe Lu Bu would win, it depends if you consider KK and shin tronger tham the 3 brothers

Bonus- also don t know, but prbably Lu Bu?

Like how good they would be compared to other generals we have in all terms, from intelligence to martial prowess.

Some exemples: napoleon

Alexander the Great

Subutai

Scipio Africanus

Hannibal

Julio César

Balduin

Etc

Other Chinese figures like Lu bu, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Han xin and etc.

Time to shin have the greatest feat possible and use his instincts, I am anxious to the next chapter spoilers.

Well, i saw some people debating about what will happen to Riboku.

I d like to read your opinion about my personal theory.

First of all we already know that hara can change some important points and explain it by saying that what was said to the people was different.

The best example is sei kyou, historically he started a rebelion and was killed, in the manga Hara changed it, he was a victim who tried to help ei sei in the end, however what people belived was that he was a traitor.

With this in mind I think riboku s fate is similar in a certain point. During all the manga since the first arcs it riboku is the great shin s nemesis, he killed his 2 mentors and the mamga always hint us that shin must kill or defeat riboku.

In my theory Shin will defeat and maybe even kill him, however tqins higher ups will create a story that in reality it was zhao s king who ordered for riboku s execution.

It will happen because Riboku is a great hero for every zhao citzen, with this lie not just it becomes easier to control zhao s people hatred towards qin but also redirects it to zhao s royal family, making it easier to the people accept a new liege.

Am I wrong to thing that warfare is pretty unrealistic this arc?

I'll be brief and I'd like to know your opinion.

Basically, Kingdom, despite having fantastical elements like humans being much stronger than normal and even Shin "coming back to life" at one point, always respected and tried to be realistic when it came to warfare, things like the capabilities of states, supplies, population, armies, and even tactics or strategies.

When raising an army, many things need to be considered, including supplies, resupply, and manpower. This manpower will not only deplete supplies but will also CEASE PRODUCTION. The 500,000 men currently engaged in war are not at home producing food or working to support the country. NOTHING leads me to believe that Zhao could maintain an army of over 500,000 men. It's no coincidence that in real life they always fought at a disadvantage. Qin could simply wait a few seasons, and Zhao would collapse on its own without much effort.

However, in this arc (even in some past arcs to a certain extent, though not as much as in this one) I feel that this aspect has been extremely neglected and "disrespected," because if we analyze it, it's impossible for Zhao to raise the number of soldiers it possesses in the wars. We only need to consider that firstly, Qin and Chu are the great powers, both in terms of agriculture, population, and territorial size; small states like Wei, Zhao, or Han could never have an army as large as Qin's, for example.

In this arc, Zhao not only has a larger army than Qin while protecting the borders mainly against Yan, but also constantly loses soldiers, men in the prime of their lives by the hundreds of thousands, which in real life had an impact, such as the 400,000 killed by Bai Qi or the 100,000 by Huan Yi.
