In addition, it was revealed that the film will depict the battle of "Snake Gan Plain," which is the first battle for Nobu and the first step to become a general.

＜Story
Let's go! This is the first step to becoming a great general... Nobu takes on his first battle with a drifting thought in his mind!
The time is B.C. Qin, a country in western China, during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. Nobu (Kento Yamazaki), who grew up as a war orphan, meets a young king named Yosei (Ryo Yoshizawa), who was forced off his throne by a coup d'etat by his royal brother. He lends his strength to the king, who is a duplicate of his childhood friend Drift, who had vowed to become the greatest general in the world but died in bereavement, and invades the royal palace with Kawaradiao (Hashimoto Kanna) and the king of the mountains, Yang Tanwa (Nagasawa Masami). Nobu defeats the powerful enemies standing in his way and successfully puts down the civil war. He succeeded in regaining the throne. However, this was only the beginning of a tremendous battle.

Half a year later, news suddenly arrived at the royal court. The neighboring country "Wei" had crossed the border and launched an invasion. The State of Qin, under the command of King Iosei, launched an army to the Snake Gan Plain, the site of the decisive battle, in order to defeat Wei. Nobu, who was to go into battle as an infantryman, was reunited with his countrymen, O-Ping and O-Wu, on the way. Nobu, who has no battle record, is forced to form the weakest squad (five-man team) with the O brothers, the unreliable corporal Sawa Kei, who is a leftover, and a person who calls himself Qiang Qiang (羌瘣) with child-like appearance and sad eyes. The general-in-chief of Wei is General Wu Qing, a war genius with excellent military tactics, who is rumored to be on par with the six generals of the former Qin Dynasty. On the other hand, the general of the Qin Dynasty is a bold general who spends most of his time fighting and drinking. By the time Nobu and his men arrived at the battlefield, the Wei army had taken over the hill that was considered advantageous, and the war was in its worst condition, with more than half of the infantry already dead. The Qin forces were completely outnumbered, and Tigershen, who commanded the unit to which Nobu was assigned, gave the order to charge in with what could be described as reckless abandon...

Filming episode "Action that I have never experienced before

What the producers were looking for in the cast to play the role of Qiang Qiang was "not only the looks, but also the high physical ability and the background that they must have in order to take on an action that has never been seen before. Moreover, he had to have high acting ability to express the sorrow of the character of Qiang Qiang. Mr. Seino took on the difficult role of Qiang Qiang in response to the passion of the producer Shinzo Matsuhashi, who said, "I thought that only Mr. Seino could overcome all these obstacles and convince the fans.

Mr. Seino himself said at the beginning of the crank-in that "I thought I am not the type of person who usually feels much pressure, but this time I feel pressure. When I saw the previous film, "Kingdom," I was really excited by the wonderful cast and crew. I am really honored to be able to participate in the sequel. Anyway, I will try my best to follow you all and play the cool Qiangqiang. I will do my best not to betray your expectations." Although she felt pressure to play a big role, she challenged the shooting with her strong will for Qiang Qiang.

In order to master not only action but also Qiang Qiang's unique dancing swordsmanship called "Miko-mai", she trained for 3 months and synchronized her body and mind with Qiang Qiang. Although Ms. Seino has a lot of action experience, she had to learn how to use her body which she had never experienced before in order to express the swordsmanship which only the Qiang'ai can do with "inhuman movement".

She said "I felt like struggling hard all the time with no right answer, but when I was at home, whether I was watching TV or doing hair-dryer, I was thinking about Qiang Qiang at all hours of the day, so I think that the movement gradually became ingrained in my mind. I had never done all the movements in action before, and I got muscle aches which I had never experienced before, so I thought this is "Qiang Qiang pain" (laugh)".

(Laughs)" Qiangqiang pain.

Kiyonasina
I will play the role of Qiang Qiang in "Kingdom 2: To the Faraway Land.
The purpose of life is revenge. I practiced swordsmanship with Ryokusui for months in order to avenge her death.
My goal is to make "inhuman movements" to defeat the enemy with a unique rhythm like Qiang Qiang's dance.
With this in mind, I worked with the members of the Action Department to build up every detail of my body from scratch.
During the filming, there were many tense and intense scenes where it was life or death, and I fought hard to survive.
Just remembering them, I feel like I am going to be in battle mode with heat in the back of my eyes.
I am glad if you can look forward to it because I tried to make a good-looking Qiang Qiang!

Original story: Yasuhisa Hara
Qiang Qiang finally appeared in "Kingdom 2".
In the original work, Qiang Qiang shows his cartoonish strength with his special sword technique.
I thought it was really hard to play the role of Qiang Qiang, but Mr. Seino's action was just like Qiang Qiang, who is a person of excellent physical ability. In the drama part, I was filled with tears just to see Qiang Qiang in the latter half of the movie.
I hope everyone can see it on the screen soon.

Producer: Shinzo Matsuhashi
What is suitable for Qiang Qiang is not only his looks, but also the high physical ability and the background that he must have to challenge the action that we have never seen before. In addition, he must have a high level of acting ability to express the pathos of the character.
The pressure was also considerable because the character is so popular, but I knew that only Mr. Seino could overcome all these obstacles and convince the fans of the character.

Director: Shinsuke Sato
I could sense a hidden story in Mr. Seino, even in his expressionless face. I could feel the sorrow in his quiet smile. He expressed the sorrow, severity, strength, and passion which were hidden in the darkness of Qiang Xiang, the assassin, quietly and sometimes with blinding speed. And yet, there was a certain charm, which made me wish to see her again someday, just as Nobu wished. The Qiangqiang I had imagined was right in front of me.

■Action director: Yuji Shimomura
To make sure that the assassination technique used by Qiang Xiang, the Chinese god of war, would not be just a mere sword fighting action, I aimed to create convincing movements by incorporating physical manipulations such as kobujutsu and weaving. Mr. Seino has a really great sense of action, and I felt he has a lot of potential.
As a result, he became able to move to the level that ordinary actors cannot reach, and I think that an original Qiang Qiang was born, which no one but Mr. Seino can play.

<About Qiang Qiang
Qiang Qiang is one of the "Chi You", a legendary assassin clan with a history of over 1,000 years, also called the "Family of Sorrow". He fights with a special breathing technique called "Miko-mai", which makes his body corrupted with a god. His appearance is like a dance. Whether he is friend or foe, ...... his identity is shrouded in mystery.
