Does Shin become a General in Kingdom season 4?

Kingdom fans couldn’t get enough of season 4, as it was bursting action had them on edge.

The season depicted that Tou was promoted to Great General following the reformation of the Tou Army and his victory in Chiyoyou. He became the Second Great General of the Second Generation, following Mou Bu.

In addition, 2 other promotions made me giddy during the award ceremony. Shin and Ou Hon were called on stage and promoted to the rank of 5000-man Commanders, which was the rank directly below the General.

But could Shin become a General before Ei Sei’s Coming of Age ceremony?

Sei had promised him that if he could become a General by then, he would make Shin the first General he sent on a conquest, taking Shin one step closer to achieving his dream.

With less than 2 weeks left for the coronation, did Shin make General by the end of season 4?

1. Does Shin become a General in Kingdom season 4?

Shin doesn’t become a General by the end of Season 4, as he still has a long way to go and get stronger. However, he becomes a general later in the 18th arc of the manga – The Western Zhao Invasion arc, in chapter 642: First Class Exemplary Reward.

Season 4 only covers the manga material up to the 15th story arc – the State of Ai arc; we must hold our horses to see it get animated.

2. When and How Does Shin Become General?

Shin becomes General after the Battle at Shukai Plains at the time of Qin’s Gyou Campaign in 236 B.C. He leads the Hi Shin Unit, a specialist army unit.

The Battle of Shukai Plains is a 15-day battle between the Ou Sen Army and the Ri Boku Army, resulting in Qin’s victory over Zhao.

The last we saw of Shin in the anime, he was officially promoted to the 5000-Man Commander due to his win over Rei Ou, the Great General of Wei and a member of the Seven Fire Dragons.

After the promotion, Ai is still warring, worrying about the capital city of Kanyou. Ryo Fui is furthering his ambitions while there are new signs of upheaval in Qin.

Two months after the victory in Wei’s Chiyoyou region, Qin begins building a fortress as a foothold into Wei. While Shin is assigned under Roku O Mi, Ou Hon is assigned to Ryuu Koku.

They head towards the borders of Chu to aid Mou Bu with reinforcements, and then Shin is commanded to oversee the construction of the fortress.

Tension builds as the day of El Sei’s coronation draws near.

Kyou Kai gets promoted to 3000-man Commander, and with Shin’s 5000, the Hi Shin Unit becomes an 8000-man Unit.

General Kan Ki and Shin fight against The Three Great Heavens’ General Kei Shai in the Koku You Campaign arc, the arc after the State of Ai arc. Shin manages to kill him, and the battle over Central Hill is over.

In the Bureaucrats Job arc, Shin organizes a recruitment of 1000 soldiers with the highest stamina.

He finds recruits with special abilities like archery, strengthening his Hi Shin Uner.

Further, in the Western Zhao Invasion arc, Shin and his unit are selected to attack the city of Gyou and the fortifications in western Zhao.

The 8000-man Hi Shin Unit goes against the 10000-man Gyou unit.

Ho deflects two Zhao Generals, Gaku Ei and Chou Ga Ryuu, and pushes the right wing to the center, right up to Ri Boku’s headquarters, where General Hou Ken, Zhao’s Second Generation of Great Heavens, waits.

Shin defeats and kills Hou Ken, leading to Qin’s victory against Zhao.

Five months later, due to his unit’s and his own achievements during the Gyou campaign, Shin is officially promoted to General.

Dude’s killed 2 Generals by the end of the Western Zhao Invasion arc. This raises one question: Is this enough for Shin to become a great general?

3. Does Shin Become a Great General?

Shin aspires to become one of the Great Generals. However, it isn’t an easy feat, and currently, Chapter 786 of the manga has been released, and Shin hasn’t become a Great General yet.

However, the manga is still ongoing and will craft Shin’s journey realistically and inspire readers.

Let’s check his progress so far. Shin’s unit’s lieutenant, the adept Kyou Kai, was promoted to the rank of 5000-man Commander.

With the other 2 lieutenants’ En and So Sui’s 1000-man units each, the Hi Shin, but this still isn’t enough to become one of the 6 Great Generals of Qin.

To compare the might of the other Great Generals, let’s take Kan Ki, the Fifth Great Second Generation General, for example. He could command a 50000-Man unit at Koku You Hills – and he wasn’t even a General yet.

In the manga, Shin is shaping to be a great potential Six-Great-General. It’s his army that hasn’t reached that level yet.

A Great General commands an exceptionally talented and powerful army of Generals and Commanders, each individually capable of leading their own units into battle. It’s a matter of exceptional teamwork.

Shin still has time to go before his next promotion, even in the manga. He will likely have to fight Kan Ki at least at some point, and perhaps that victory will give him a solid shot at becoming one of the Six Great Generals of Qin.

4. Which Chapters does Season 4 cover? What will Happen at the End?

Season 4 of Kingdom encapsulates chapters 364 to 441 of the manga in 26 episodes.

The end of season 4 explores Chu and Wei’s invasion campaigns, the end of Queen Mother’s supremacy, the start of a new era for the state of Qin, and an unexpected parent-child relationship.

Season 4 covered Kyou Kai’s Revenge and Conspiracy in the Court arc, the Fire Dragons of Wei Arc, and the State of Ai arc – chapters 402-437.
