24+ Best Kingdom Manga Arcs Ranked

When it comes to war, strategy, plot, and historical events, the Kingdom manga stands at the top of the mountain. With over 790 chapters, the manga continues to be released every week. In this article, we will talk about the best Kingdom Manga arcs ranked from worst to best.

24.Kyou Kai Conflict

Not the most exciting part, but it's nice to see her character redeemed. Hara did a great job writing her backstory and character development. Currently, many fans love her character and hope she will end up with Shin at the end of the manga.

23. Million Crisis

The King of Zhao is truly a miserable man. He really doesn't care about anything except enjoying the girls in his bathing area. His death was somewhat satisfying but they replaced the King with another son who closely resembled him.

22. Human nature

Personally, I found this part boring. Kanki's defeat affected the entire state of Qin, as he was the newly appointed six great generals. I heard some fans say how easily Kaniki was defeated by Riboku.

But that's not true and I think Kanki took Riboku to his most extreme state. It's just that he was outsmarted by him.

21. Third faction

The introduction of the queen mother and all the conflicts happening within the Kanyou make this arc interesting. It's short but pretty good. We also get to see how far the queen mother can go to achieve her goals.

20. Consequences of Sanyou

Shin became the commander of 1000 men and was tasked with conquering the Sanyou region. However, without Kyo Kai, who usually handled the strategy, they would have lost. The arrival of Ka Ryo Ten as their strategist truly turned the tide for them.

19. Conspiracy in the royal court

Some people might think it's a bit boring but for me, it's quite interesting. El Sei and Ryo Fei's struggle for the throne was portrayed excellently. Sei Kyou's character development and his sacrifice really made me cry. I didn't expect this person could change so much.

18. Fire Dragon of Wei

The combat and tactics are solid, but the villains in this storyline aren't really great. The kidnapping of Ten by Gai Mou's army caused a bit of fear, but in the end the matter was resolved smoothly. The battles go well in this part.

17. Assassination plot

Assassins are chasing El Sei. Kyo Kai's true identity was revealed in this arc. The fight between Kai and Shin was incredible and Shin realized that she was much stronger than him in sword fighting.

16. Alliance

Everything about the sudden ceasefire with the kingdom of Zhao – the kingdom that had invaded Qin and killed Ouji – left me on the edge of my seat. It's great to negotiate and get to know people better.

15. Training

This arc introduced us to the Ryo Fui faction and they have real aura. There were a lot of fun moments with Shin and Ou Ky but I felt this part was too short.

14. Kyou Kai's revenge

There is a lot of speculation that Kyou Kai may die in revenge. I will curse Hara many times if that happens. We saw Kyou Kai in her true rage and power. Some truly breathtaking manga panels in this section.

13. Bureaucratic work

What we have here is a great idea, the meeting of two kings. However, delving into the topic of China's leadership style to ensure legal equality for all is an incredible discussion in itself. The dedication of the remaining two members of the Ryu Fei faction to the king's cause and the speech of the king of Qi were also excellent.

12. Escape from Trieu

El Sei's backstory and how he escaped from Zhao with the merchants. He truly admired the sacrifice of the woman who sacrificed her life to protect him and ensure he reached Qin safely.

11. War of three countries

The characters presented here seem like they will play an important role later on; in fact, this entire section serves as a prologue or setup for what's to come. However, I enjoyed the alliance with Wei and the battle with Chu.

10. First campaign

This will always be loved by fans of the Kingdom as it shows the beginning of Shin's journey to becoming a great general. Since seeing the hardships of an ordinary soldier is something we don't often see in the story, this conflict begins to feel a bit melancholy.

9. Thanh Kieu Rebellion

The battle for the throne between brothers. It hooked me from the first page of the first arc, the best opening to an incredible manga I could imagine.

8. Revenue Battle

Kan Ki's insane bloodshed and the strategies used in this arc are fantastic. We also saw Shin's growth in this arc as a general.

7. Bang Ai

This section covers the best the kingdom has to offer: the Qin monarch's coronation and speech as well as the final resolution of the dispute between El Sei and Ryu Fei.

Qin was once again left hanging by a thread, and there was a satisfactory end to the matter regarding the empress's mother.

6. Trieu revenge

At this point in the manga, Riboku has proven himself to be the greatest general, and Kan Ki has reached his peak. His past, tactics, personality, army, and death are all portrayed excellently.

5. Invasion of Tay Trieu

The longest arc of the manga. The Qin and Zhao forces officially began their long war at this time. These crises existed well before the Battle of Bayou, long before Ei Sei officially declared war on the state of Zhao.

4. Koku You Campaign

Shin of the Hi Shin Unit kills Kei Sha in a duel. Kyou Kai kills Ryuu Tou, Rigan's Ki Sui's left hand man. Kan Ki's extraordinary fighting skills are fully demonstrated through his unique tactics, which include a willingness to brutalize everyone around him and torture soldiers.

When it comes to the Kokuyou region of Zhao, the Qin dynasty comes out on top. Ri Boku claims that he discovered Kan Ki's weakness after Kei Sha's death.

Although not facing charges of assaulting Kan Ki and his colleagues, Hi Shin Unit did not receive any compensation for Kei Sha's death.

3. Battle of the Bayou

Probably the saddest part in the series as we witness the death of Ouki, one of the six greatest generals of the Qin Dynasty. His death left a great impact on Shin. The introduction of Hou Ken and Shin receiving the Ouki weapon are both top moments in this best Kingdom Manga Arc.

2. Operation Sanyou

Instead of going to war with each other, the Qin and Zhao governments decided to form an alliance and focus on their own problems and struggles. To take Sanyou and its surrounding area from Wei, the Kingdom of Qin launched an attack.

Ren Pa, a formidable general who defected from Zhao's Three Great Heavens and now fights for the Wei dynasty, presents them with a dangerous enemy and formidable challenge. He also has four Heavenly Kings by his side, in addition to the Great General!

1. Alliance Invasion is the best Kingdom Manga Arc

One of the best manga plots that leaves goosebumps, tension and surprises with every chapter. Qin's opposition to the alliance of other countries was truly unfair and disadvantageous.

They continued to fight and were able to make them retreat and win in the end.
