KINGDOM new movie

The latest installment of the live-action film, "Kingdom: Return of the General'', will be released on July 12th. The latest footage has arrived, with gorgeous, powerful visuals and a sense of urgency as the world's greatest general, Wang Ki, clashes with the Zhao army, leading to the climax.

"Kingdom'' is set during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period in BC, and tells the story of Xin, a war orphan boy who dreams of becoming a great general of the world, and Eisei, a young king who aims to unify China, on a grand scale. This is a live-action movie based on the manga by Yasuhisa Hara. The original work has been serialized in "Weekly Young Jump" since January 2006, and the cumulative circulation of 71 volumes has now surpassed 100 million copies, the first in Shueisha's youth manga history.

The live-action movie, which has been in development since 2019, is the first live-action Japanese film that has been made into a series since 2000 to achieve the feat of exceeding 5 billion for the first three movies in a row. The latest work depicts the climax of the "Battle of Mayang,'' an all-out war for the survival of the country against neighboring Zhao, which continues from the previous work "Flames of Fate.''

Now, from this work, we have finally arrived at the heart-throbbing, heart-pounding latest footage and gorgeous, spectacular visuals as the world's great general Wang Ki clashes with the Zhao army. The latest video begins with one of the most famous scenes among Kingdom fans, where Shin, who has become the captain of the Hishintai, and Oto, who are from the same hometown and have fought together for a long time, talk in the forest at night.

Nobuo's extraordinary dream of becoming a great general of the world moves Oto and his friends before they know it, and they end up risking their own fate for Nobuo... This emotional scene is short-lived, but the atmosphere changes completely with the appearance of Lee Mok, who has a quiet but ominous atmosphere. Since the beginning of the ``Battle of Mayang'', the Qin dynasty's monster bird, the king horse of the six generals, has finally begun to move.


Then, the scene where he fights one-on-one with his fateful opponent, Pang Xi, for the first time in nine years, is shown. What exactly does the royal knight, who shows such anger that his blood boils, carry on his back as he fights? The two, who once again faced each other as the supreme commanders of Qin and Zhao, finally clash in Mayang, the land of destiny.

In addition to the new cast member, Ei, the Qin king Sho (Masao Kusakari), who was once called the god of war and served by the royal knights, will also make an appearance. Ying Zheng, He Lingdiao, Yang Duanhe, and Qiang Kuan also appear, and what kind of "scenery the general sees'' that Shin sees at the end of the final decisive battle that puts everything on the line?

In addition, a gorgeous and powerful visual that is suitable for the culmination of the series was also unveiled. The brave figure of Shin, who has completely changed since he was a war-damaged orphan and has risen to become a 100-man general, and the stately appearance of Wang Qi, the commander-in-chief of the Qin state, are shown facing and attacking Pang Xi with a fierce expression never seen before. Leaves a lasting impression.

There are also important characters who have supported Kingdom throughout the series, such as Pang Yu, who stands in the way as the strongest enemy, Li Mu, who has an eerie expression as he quietly watches over the battle, and Yu Zheng, who continues to pray for Shin's safety and the victory of the Qin Kingdom. All the characters and key players from this work are stepping on it. Expectations are high for the most unforgettable battle in the history of the Kingdom series.

The latest live-action movie', "Kingdom: Return of the General'', will be released on July 12th. I look forward to further updates in the future.
