“Kingdom” Qin vs Zhao: Full-Scale War Begins!! Season 6 Premieres This October – New Visual of Shin Wielding “Ou Ki’s Glaive” Revealed
The sixth season of the TV anime Kingdom will air on NHK General starting October 2025. This season marks the beginning of a full-scale war between Qin and Zhao as the battle for the unification of China intensifies. Alongside the announcement, a new visual of Shin from the Hi Shin Unit has been released, showing him wielding the glaive entrusted to him by the late General Ou Ki. Kingdom is a grand historical war epic based on the manga by Hara Yasuhisa, serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump. Set during China’s Warring States period, it follows a young boy named Shin (voiced by Morita Masakazu) who aims to become the greatest general under the heavens, and a young king named Ei Sei (voiced by Fukuyama Jun), who would later become the First Emperor of China. The manga has sold over 110 million copies to date. In 2024, the fourth live-action film Kingdom: Return of the Great General was released and became a box office hit, grossing 8 billion yen. The anime series began with Season 1 airing on NHK BS Premium from June 2012 to February 2013, followed by Season 2 from June 2013 to March 2014, Season 3 from April to October 2021, Season 4 from April to October 2022, and Season 5 from January to March 2024. Season 5, which aired last year, ended on a high note with Qin successfully seizing Koku You Hill thanks to the efforts of the Kanki Army and Hi Shin Unit, establishing it as a strategic base for invading Zhao. In the upcoming Season 6, which premieres this October, the war with Zhao finally begins. Qin will launch an operation with a coalition of three armies led by Ou Sen (voiced by Horiuchi Kenyu), Kanki (voiced by Ito Kentaro), and Yo Tan Wa (voiced by Sonozaki Mie). Next-generation leaders Shin (voiced by Morita Masakazu), Mou Ten (voiced by Nojima Hirofumi), and Ou Hon (voiced by Hosoya Yoshimasa) will also lead their own units as independent forces, taking on key roles. In this season, Shin finally heads into battle wielding Ou Ki’s glaive. As Shin charges into battle with the weapon entrusted to him by a great general, the anticipation grows for the outcome of the all-out war between Qin and Zhao. Season 6 of the Kingdom TV anime will air on NHK General starting in October 2025. Stay tuned for more updates.
