In Kingdom Season 6 Episode 6, Qin's forces enter Liewei's walls - remedy over, unaware they have fallen right into one of Li Mu's carefully set traps. The fortification fell far too easily, and Ou Sen's instinct sharpens, warning him that something was deeply wrong. Li Mu was not noted as Zhao's most brilliant strategist by being simple in his defenses, and whatever he has planned can easily turn the coalition's confidence in winning this battle into a disaster.

Kingdom Season 6 Episode 6 debuts Sunday, November 9th at 12:10 AM JST on NHK BS Premier and NHK General TV in Japan. International streaming available Saturday, November 8th, approximately at 5:00 PM GMT or 10:00 AM PT on Crunchyroll. This episode will unveil the hidden dangers of Liewei's stone walls, leaving the coalition army at a crossroads of challenges that may cost far more than a battle.

There is no official dubbed version planned for release yet, but it is possible that there to be an English dubbed release later, either to coincide with the popularity of the season or viewers' requests for such a release. NHK BS Premier and NHK General TV will be broadcasting the episode as part of their regular programming.


What Can You Expect From Kingdom Season 6 Episode 6?

Kingdom Season 6 Episode 6 most likely will focus on revealing Li Mu's tactical trap that is worrying Ou Sen. Episode 5 ended with the Qin general realizing a major flaw in Liewei's capture, which suggests there is something dangerous about the fort and/or the city is hiding.

We can expect to see how the ramifications of taking over Liewei play out in Kingdom Season 6 Episode 6. The unusual design city (residential areas outside the walls) and suspicious building techniques will probably play a significant role. Li Mu may have a countermeasure planned that will disrupt the supply line, hidden passages, or a structural weakness that could turn Qin's victory into a liability.

The Kingdom Season 6 Episode 6 should also follow how Xin's Fei Xin Force and the coalition army respond to this information as well. Plus, we may see more of Yo Tan Wa's mountain warriors after their stunning assault in the previous episode.

Episode 5 really knocked it out of the park with its epic escalation attack on Liewei and left us all breathless. The chapter kicked off with Yo Tan Wa's killer rallying call, which uplifted not just her own troops but all allied units. It demonstrated what a widely regarded future Dai Shogun looks like among her contemporaries.

The mountain warriors led the way in scaling the walls of Liewei under heavy fire. The Fei Xin Force was critical in breaking the fortress defense, with Dan even overcoming his reservations in opening a way for them. Absolutely a ferocious siege.

Lest we forget a priceless scene where Xin is holding Wang Yi's poleaxe, takes down like five people, and then complains about how heavy it was. Ultimately, Qin gets Liewei, and they do capture it in typical Qin fashion, but it raises concerns. Kan Ki's hoodlums could see on approach that it appeared suspiciously picked clean of valuables and supplies.

The episode ended with Ou Sen recognizing a key flaw in the plan for their conquest that was characterized by his suspicious observations of the walls. The buildings and the surrounding town indicate some kind of plan hidden by Li Mu. This was a great cliffhanger that led viewers to question at the time if supply problems were entailed.

If possibly structural traps were set, or what the importance of the residential area outside the fortress walls was to be. This development of strategic thinking over the plan is going to be a focal point in the conflict in Kingdom Season 6 Episode 6.
