Kingdom Chapter 880: Mouten and the Gakuka Army Save the Hi Shin Unit — Japan Reacts

Japanese fan reactions (excerpted from 198)

• Most handsome Mouten has ever been.

  蒙恬過去一イケメン

• The new chapter 'Comrades-in-Arms' makes every single Qin character cry 💦 I couldn't get through it without tearing up. Mouten's stock just skyrocketed — I love him even more now. I'm gonna fall for this guy!!

  最新話『戦友』、秦軍の登場人物全員泣かせるぜぇ💦　涙無しでは見られなかったです。　 蒙恬の株が爆上がり！益々蒙恬が好きになった！惚れてまうやろう‼️

• The chapter title being 'Comrades-in-Arms' is just perfect. Mouten's stock is through the roof 😊

  タイトルが戦友。めちゃ良いです。蒙恬の株が爆上がりです😊

• The latest chapter was so good! I love Mouten! I love the Gakuka Army! That line, 'if it were reversed, Shin would do the same' — it just hit me right in the chest! Back when they escaped Ri Boku's encirclement, Shin was all fired up shouting 'Gakuka's getting out too!' These two go way back to the 300-Man Unit days — their history runs deep.

  最新話、よかったよねー！ 蒙恬、大好き！楽華軍、大好き！ 『逆なら、きっと信も同じことをする』のセリフも、くぅーってなったわ！ 李牧バスケットを脱出の時は、信が『楽華も、一緒に脱出する！』と熱かったし、やっぱ三百人隊の時からの2人の歴史は深いなぁ。

• Mouten's been a good guy from the start, and the fact that he's faithfully honoring Hakurou's dying words — 'Mouten, Shin, and Ouhon, rise to the top together' — is what makes it so good.

  蒙恬が最初から良い奴だったのもそうだし白老の「蒙恬、信、王賁の3人で高みに上れ」の遺言もしっかり守ってるのも良かった

• I want the number of armies that see Shin as a comrade to keep growing until they surround Ri Boku! Maybe this is what Ouki meant by 'walk through hell together with everyone.'

  信を戦友と思ってる軍がこれからも増え続けて李牧包囲してほしい！ これが王騎の言ってた皆と共に修羅場を潜るってことなのかな

  — @れおまる-b4h3 likes

• It reminded me of Ouki telling him to 'walk through the chaos of battle with everyone'… The fact that you have to clear hell like this over and over just to reach Great General — Kingdom really is brutal.

  王騎の言っていた皆と修羅場をくぐりなさいを思い出しました、、 こんなんを何度も超えないと大将軍に届かないってやっぱ劇辛ってすごい

  — @中鉄-j2n16 likes

• It'd be hilarious if everyone gathers up and Ri Boku ends up being the one who gets surrounded.

  みんな集まってきて逆に李牧が　包囲されたらおもしろいかも

  — @はやしだひろお28 likes

• I want to believe the Mountain Tribes, the Rokuomi Army, and the Yokoyoko Army are definitely coming after this!! And honestly, it's about time they took down a few Zhao officers…

  この後、山の民、録嗚未軍、ヨコヨコ軍が絶対来るって思いたい!! で、いい加減趙軍の将校を何人か倒してほしい。。

  — @miwa-chan-j1w1 likes

• I bet Ouhon, the Mountain Tribes, Rokuomi, and finally even Ousen are all coming for this one.

  これは、王賁も山の民も録嗚未も最後王翦もくるのでは？

  — @ボブ-r3y3 likes

• Next chapter Ouhon probably joins too, and the three of them fight together like back in the Rinko battle.

  次回、王賁も参戦して、輪虎の時のように三人で力合わせて戦うんじゃないかな

  — @オラゲル7 likes

• Reckon Ouhon shows up next week.

  来週は王賁が来るかな。

• I bought Young Jump at the convenience store first thing in the morning, and the 'because we're comrades' scene almost made me cry right there.

  朝イチコンビニでヤンジャン買って読んでて、戦友だからってシーンで泣きそうになった

• Even in such a hopeless situation, the beauty of comradeship and friendship made the tears just slip out 🥲

  こんな絶望的な状況なのに、戦友の、友情の美しさを見てポロッと泣いちゃいました🥲

• Man-to-man bonds, man — read it again today and the tears still come.

  やっぱり男 同士つて今日あらため読んだやっぱり涙出る

• Mouten is honestly way too good a guy. Never thought the day would come where Kingdom made my eyes well up.

  蒙恬さん流石に良い奴すぎますってば　キングダムで目頭が熱くなる日が来るとはな

• I haven't even read the actual chapter yet, but just from the way the host talks about Mouten I almost started crying. Is the real thing gonna have me full-on bawling?

  まだ本編見れてないんだけどりきさんが話してる蒙恬がかっこよすぎて泣きそうになりました。本編これ号泣してまうやつか？

• Stuff I noticed reading this week's chapter: ・Where's the main body of Kyoukai's army? ・Kyoukai took off her armor! ・Mouten's so cool I'm falling for him

  今週読んで気になったところ ・羌瘣軍の本軍はどこ？ ・羌瘣が甲冑脱いだ！ ・蒙恬がかっこよすぎて惚れちゃう

  — @そな-p1y19 likes

• Kyoukai, where did you leave your armor lol

  羌瘣、鎧どこに置いてきたん

  — @すい-i9c8 likes

• Mouten is flawless from every angle — as a friend, a colleague, a boss, a subordinate, just an all-around great guy. And maybe Kahryou suddenly awakens at the last second and shows a glimpse of surpassing the soon-to-exit Ri Boku?

  蒙恬は友人・同僚としても上司・部下としても隙がなく全方面でイケメンだよなぁ 河了貂は土壇場で唐突に覚醒して、退場する李牧超えの片鱗を見せたりするんだろうか

  — @YHVH44420 likes

• I think the silent Kahryou is like a chrysalis right before it hatches, so next chapter she awakens and shines. She'll gain some big-picture skill, dominate the battlefield, and put real pressure on Ri Boku 😺

  無言の河了貂は羽化する前のサナギの状態だと思うので次回覚醒して活躍してくれると思います。俯瞰系のスキルを得て戦場を支配して李牧を脅かしてくれると思います😺

  — @ニャンサロ20 likes

• Last chapter's 'I'm sorry,' this chapter's silent '…' An awakened Kahryou will pull off a plan to keep Shin alone alive even if it means everyone else is wiped out.

  前話の「ゴメンね」今回の「・・・」だんまり 覚醒した河了貂は全滅してでも【信】１人を生かす策に出る

  — @繁-v3p14 likes

• Kahryou isn't speechless out of shock — I think she's in the middle of cooking up a game-changing plan. It should be ready around next chapter, so hang tight a little longer.

  河了貂は放心状態で何も言えないのではなく、起死回生の策を練っている最中だと思います。次回あたりで出来上がるはずなので、もう少々お待ちください。

  — @yuko52780 likes

• Feels like Shin's about to have an instinct-type awakening.

  信の本能型覚醒しそう

  — @木平浩介24 likes

• Setting aside how they built up a situation so hopeless that even Kyoukai gave up, Shin standing strong and facing forward even then was so cool…!! And honestly, losing Kaku-nii just hurts.

  羌瘣が諦めるほどの絶望的な状況をなんとも言えない形で作られた点はさておき、信がそんな状況でも力強く前を向いてたのはカッコよかった…！！ 角兄ぃ普通に悲しいっす

  — @harukoto0 likes

• Ri Boku probably even factored Mouten's arrival into his plan, so I think there's another twist coming — like Mouten or Rikusen getting cut down and pulled off the front line.

  蒙恬来るのも計画に入れてそうだし、もう一波乱あると思ってる 蒙恬か陸仙ばっさり切られて戦線離脱しそう

  — @ぼーくり-d3d7 likes

• I love that they actually show the moment — 'If we go to help, both the Hi Shin and Gakuka Units get wiped out, you realize that!?' 'I know' — and the story still moves forward from there.

  ちゃんとこの状況で『助けに行ったら飛信も楽華も全滅ですよ！？わかってる』描写があってってストーリー進んでるのがいい

  — @Ins-mt1ze0 likes

• Without Ri Boku every front would've lost to the Qin army, yet they're being held off by a tiny Zhao force and only a tiny relief force shows up — it doesn't add up (cry).

  あれだけ李牧がいなかったらどこも秦軍に負けていたのに、少数の趙軍に食い止められて、少数の援軍しか来ないのが解せない（泣）

  — @VocaBeat-e5k15 likes

• This is insanely hype… and yet somehow it's still hopeless.

  めちゃくちゃ熱いんだけど これでもなお絶望的なんだよなぁ

• Did Aisen forget the debt he owed the Hi Shin Unit for saving him back at Gian?

  アイセンは宜安の時飛信隊に助けられた恩忘れたのかな

  — @ああ-g6w7t27 likes

• It reminded me of the Coalition Army arc — when Mouten went down, a piece of armor chipped off of Shin's arm.

  がつしようぐんの時もうてんが倒れた時信の腕の甲冑がかけたことがあったの思い出した

  — @玉澤富美代6 likes

• There's no break next week, which means the week after is the hiatus. So a massive relief force probably arrives right before that break. My predictions: (1) a furious Mountain Tribe and the archer Tan brothers charging in, (2) the other comrade Ouhon's relief. What I want most: since it's hard to imagine Mouten coming to help without telling General Ousen, a full two-page-spread Ousen mega-army even bigger than the Zhao force.

  来週休載でない事でその次週が休載。ならば大援軍がきて休載となりそう。 予想は、①山の民と弓使いタン兄弟のブチ切れ援軍 ②もう1人の戦友王賁の援軍。 1番期待してるのは、蒙恬が王翦将軍に何も言わないで飛信隊に援軍しに来るとは考えにくいので、見開きいっぱいの趙軍以上の王翦大援軍。

  — @タムリン-z8r1 likes

• Mouten is just too cool… good-looking, fair-skinned, smart, funny, loyal to his comrades, passionate… There was that earlier scene where Kahryou's heart skipped a beat for Mouten, and honestly, I totally get it now.

  蒙恬カッコよすぎる… 顔イケメン、色白、知性的、ユーモア、仲間思い、情熱… 河了貂が蒙恬にドキッとする描写が前あったけど、すごく良く分かる。

• Kahryou: 'A mere YouTuber, who do you think you're talking to? I'm silent because I'm working out the path back from the brink.'

  One Piece Chapters 1189-1190: Japanese Readers Catch Brook Contradicting Himself

  A One Piece reader-reaction channel collected fan responses to chapters 1189 and 1190, zeroing in on Brook's dialogue about a character called Gunko, where he calls her "like a daughter to me" moments after telling her he never wanted to see her again. Across 151 comments, the top comment (186 likes) quotes both lines side by side to make the contradiction obvious, and the rest of the thread runs with it — joking that a different writer must be handling Brook scene to scene, or that he's secretly been swapped for someone else. A handful of fans push back on the jokes just to say, sincerely, that they like this character and the recent writing makes them sad to watch.

  One Piece Chapter 1189: Shueisha to Fix Oda's Confusing Line in the Tankobon

  On July 29, a Japanese manga-reaction channel posted a video about a confusing line from One Piece Chapter 1189, one Shueisha has now confirmed will be reworded for the print volume. Across 324 comments, the top reply (342 likes) needled Oda's grammar directly. From there, the thread split into two tracks: readers trying to guess what Oda actually meant to say, and readers pivoting to blame the editorial team for letting it through in the first place. It ends on a joke nobody quite let go of — one about an entire fictional family that apparently can't tell its own sons apart.

  Hunter x Hunter: Gon and Killua Return After a 14-Year Hiatus

  On the newest Hunter x Hunter chapter, Japanese fans flooded a reaction video the moment Gon and Killua reappeared on the page after Yoshihiro Togashi's infamous hiatus — across 488 comments, the top-liked entry (2,615 likes) needed just one comparison to an entire other franchise's full run to land the joke. The comment section turns the length of the wait into its own genre of joke: one fan lists nineteen separate manga that fully started and ended in the gap, others do the math against Dragon Ball's eleven-year run and come out shaken, and one comment darkly notes there's no guarantee Togashi or anyone reading will even be alive for the next installment. Once the shock wears off, the thread pivots to Togashi's art style itself — fans joke that he's forgotten how to draw Gon, compare the new linework to an English textbook illustration, and half-seriously credit his wife with inking Killua's suddenly gorgeous eyes. Underneath the jokes, though, several comments genuinely well up at what the reappearance does in-story, including a moment about a queen quietly recognizing Kurapika's sincerity that one commenter calls flat-out unfair after so many chapters of dense political scheming — before the thread lands on one last punchline about just how long 14 years really is.

  Why Meccha Chameleon Sold 20 Million Copies. I Translated a Month of Your Comment Sections Looking for the Answer

  Meccha Chameleon has sold twenty million copies in two months. A hide-and-seek game that costs about six dollars, built by two people in roughly two months, with nothing spent on advertising. Plenty of good writeups have already explained why, and the game-design arguments hold up fine. But since July 4th I have been building articles out of the overseas reaction to this game, twenty-six of them, reading a few thousand comments a night and translating them into Japanese. From where I sit, the developers did not sell this game and neither did the streamers. You did. The comment section did.
