TV Anime "Kingdom" Series 5 Information: [Broadcast Period] Every Saturday at midnight on NHK General TV (Note: Broadcast times are subject to change.) [Synopsis of Series 5] In the state of Qin (Shin Koku) in western China before the common era, Xin (Shin), a former servant who dreams of becoming "the greatest general under the heavens" with his now-deceased friend Piao (Hyou), becomes involved in a coup d'état over the throne of Qin as a boy and fatefully encounters the 31st King of Qin, Ei Sei (Ying Zheng). As the captain of the Qin army's "Fei Xin Unit," Xin joins the battlefield and, together with Ei Sei, aims for the unprecedented unification of China, steadily rising through the ranks while competing with his contemporaries, generals like Meng Tian (Mou Ten) and Wang Ben (Ou Hon). On the other hand, Ei Sei, who ascended to the throne of Qin at a young age, also carefully accumulates power within the court and finally wrests control of the country from the chancellor Lü Buwei. This sets the stage for the earnest pursuit of the long-cherished goal of unifying China. The Qin army aims to capture Kokuyou Hills in the state of Zhao as a new foothold for unification. The Fei Xin Unit, led by Xin, joins the battle for Kokuyou Hills, but the Qin army's general is Kan Ki, known as the "Charisma of Brutality," who does not hesitate to use ruthless methods to win. The Zhao army's general is Kei Sha, a genius military strategist trusted by Li Mu (Ri Boku) and nicknamed "The Silent Hunter." Under the leadership of these generals, each harboring unfathomable terror, the battle for the strategic point of Kokuyou Hills begins!
