Verdict on Kingdom 3
Kingdom 3 is the third instalment of the epic live-action manga. It follows the young man determined to become a general to stop the bloodshed. However, he must lead his own army in battle to prove he can be the catalyst for change.
This continues the epic-scale battles between the two sides. All while diving deeper into the character’s backstories. Each story could help bring the sides together, once they understand their differences. The action sequences are entertaining and at the same level as many of the same battles. However, it can be difficult to keep up with the pure scale of everything going on.
