I love that General Duke Hyou calls him Wappa Shin, treating him like a kid.
Coalition Invasion Arc Brief Synopsis--- Three years after the death of Ou Ki at the hands of Hou Ken, the genius strategist of Zhao, Ri Boku, forms an alliance between the six states of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Yan, and Qi. A coalition army of 540,000 soldiers launches a simultaneous invasion of Qin, pushing the nation to the brink of destruction. Before his death, Ou Ki entrusted his glaive to Shin, but Shin felt it was still too heavy for him and left it in the care of Ei Sei, the person he trusts most. Overall Military Strength--- Coalition Army (Attacking side: Kei Sha, Man Goku, etc.): 540,000 total Qin Army (Defending side: Shin, Duke Hyou, and other Generals): Approx. 200,000 total Deployments--- Qin defends the massive wall of Kankoku Pass and its surrounding areas, divided into three major battlefields with Generals assigned to each. [Right Wing] A formation to block enemies bypassing the mountains (Mountainous Region). They intercept enemies attempting to cross the steep mountains to the right of the wall and flank the rear. Defending Generals: Duke Hyou, along with Shin's Hi Shin Unit. Ou Sen. Qin strength: Approx. 70,000. [Left Wing] A formation to clash with the enemy's main force on wide plains. They face the massive army of Chu, the strongest state, head-on in the plains to the left of the wall. Defending Generals: Mou Bu, Tou. Qin strength: Approx. 60,000 (Mou Ten and Ou Hon join later). Enemy (Chu Army): Approx. 150,000 (The strongest force led by the giant Kan Mei). [Center] A formation to defend the top and bottom of the Kankoku Pass wall. They defend directly by firing arrows from the top of the massive wall and kicking away ladders. Defending Generals: Chou Tou, Kan Ki. Qin strength: Approx. 50,000. Enemy (Wei, Han, etc.): Over 200,000 rushing the wall from the front. Combat Style: The Wei army uses siege towers as tall as buildings, leading to chaotic close-quarters combat atop the wall against tens of thousands of enemies.
Full name: Ri Shin (formerly just Shin). Height: Approximately 180cm. Origin of the name "Wappa Shin"--- The name was originally given by General Ou Ki. At first, it was a teasing nickname meaning "ignorant brat," but through training and the Battle of Bayou, it evolved into a term of endearment for his "dearest, most promising disciple" whom he wanted to watch over. Address terms--- Most people call him Shin. Members of the Hi Shin Unit call him Shin. Sosui, the lieutenant of the Hi Shin Unit, calls him Shin-dono.
Name: Duke Hyou (Hyou Kou). He laughs boisterously from the bottom of his lungs: "Gahahaha!" He addresses subordinates and Shin as "you" or "Wappa" (kid/lad). While his tone is commanding, it carries a sense of familiarity and warmth. At first glance, he seems to be a general who recklessly sends his men to their deaths, but he is a genius at stirring the hearts of soldiers. He recognized Shin's talent earlier than anyone and possesses the greatness of heart to cherish him like a son. He is the pinnacle of the instinctual-type general, galloping across the battlefield following his gut. He will not die here, as his fate is to fall against Hou Ken later. He generally speaks bluntly to everyone (in a boisterous Great General style), but only toward Ei Sei, the King of Qin, does he use a unique, slightly more formal tone, adding "...my King." Address terms--- Shin -> Wappa / Wappa Shin Mou Bu -> Mou Bu Tou -> Tou Ou Sen -> Ou Sen
Name: Kan Ki. Height: Over 190cm. He breaks the enemy's spirit by performing horrific torture and atrocities using corpses and prisoners. In the war against Zhao, he caused a massive incident that shocked all of China by beheading 100,000 surrendered soldiers. He is a genius of unconventional warfare, specializing in ambushes, psychological warfare, and deception learned during his days as a bandit leader rather than orthodox tactics. No matter how desperate the situation, he never loses his cynical smirk, possessing the overwhelming grit to declare, "Don't worry, it'll all work out." He aims for the head of the enemy commander-in-chief with brilliant, unpredictable moves. He will not die in this battle, as his end comes later in the fight against the Zhao general Ri Boku at Gian/Hika. Address terms for Shin--- Former servant / Servant Shin
Name: Ou Sen. Height: Well over 200cm. He wears an eerie mask that hides his face. He never reveals his true thoughts. He never fights a battle he cannot win, using schemes and psychological warfare to ensure victory. He is a man of few words. He is incredibly strong, resilient, and survives through everything. (Spoiler: His cause of death is likely old age.) Address terms for Shin--- Shin / Hi Shin Unit
Name: Ri Boku. He generally speaks politely to everyone, whether they are allies or enemies. Address terms for Shin--- Shin-dono / Shin-dono of the Hi Shin Unit
Name: Kei Sha.
Name: Mou Bu. A power-type hot-blooded Great General, the strongest in Qin, who lives only to prove he is the strongest in China. He is extremely stoic and hates losing. After General Ou Ki's death, he realized his own immaturity and grew into a true Great General who fights while carrying the weight of his comrades' lives. He is a man of immense chivalry who lives by the creed: "Forget the details, I'll just crush them all!" He seems like the type to charge in blindly, but after Ou Ki's death, he fights while thinking and coordinating with his allies. He survives until the very end. Address terms for Shin--- Shin / Hi Shin Unit
Name: Man Goku.
Name: Mou Ten. The son of Mou Bu, with androgynous features. Like his father, he is a survivor who lives until the end. Address terms for Shin--- Shin
