The historical action anime ‘Kingdom’ is returning to set the final stages for the war for unification with the fourth season.
Kingdom has no competition when it comes to old-school warfare, with swords, glaives, and shields. Its portrayal of war is nearly perfect, and it shows a huge number of tactical calls which are historically accurate.
The third season has been phenomenal. It perfectly portrayed the Coalition Invasion arc to the point that making fans’ blood boil is scary. And with such a high standard set for the fourth season, Studio Pierrot is preparing to go all-out after their brief delay from the pandemic.
The friction between Ei Sei and Ryo Fui has been cogging ever since Ei Sei set his sights on the throne. Will he be able to bring peace to China’s unrest?

3. Key Visuals
Visuals were also released to accompany the announcement of the fourth season of Kingdom.
Sei Kyou was portrayed with a daring smile and the phrase “I’m next,” as he prepares for the battle of the century.
The visual depicts Shin, Ei Sei, and Ō Hon along with Yo Tan Wa and Ka Ryo Ten, are seen walking to change the course of the battle with their fighting spirit in order to unite China.
Ō Hon, Kyou, and Shin were in their fighting stances while Ryo Fui, Reio, and Shihaku are depicted in the background of the illustration.
Some trailers were also released to commemorate the announcement of the fourth season of Kingdom.
The first trailer sets the stage for the crowning ceremony in which Ei Sei will be crowned as the Qin leader. The trailer also teased us about the imminent battle approaching in the near future while Prince Ei Sei plans to become the ruler who unites China.
Another video begins with Ei Sei doubting the true intention behind the super military’s recent moves and with people attempting to redraw the ridge court’s power map, chaos breaks out both at home and outside.
Pressure mounts as the crowning event draws near, with Ryo Fui holding his end as the interim king on the front lines of the battles and Ei Sei securing his front at home. There were also glimpses of Ryo and Rui’s childhood moments in the trailer, revealing the softer side of the brute.
5. Plot/Storyline
The third season covered chapters 261 through 364. The upcoming fourth season will adapt from chapter 365 to 401, including the ‘Conspiracy in Court Arc,’ ‘Fire Dragons of Wei Arc,’ and tease bits of the ‘State of Ai Arc.’
In the upcoming season, the crowning ceremony is fast approaching in which Ei Sei is said to be crowned as the next Qin leader, and, on the other hand, the struggle for power and political influence between him and Ryo Fui is reaching its climax.
Ryo Fui also takes action to halt the king at his trail, setting up a small-scale invasion to trap him and capture him.
