‘Kingdom’ Season 4: Release schedule, Visuals, Trailer, and Latest info

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?
