The latest trailer

The dream of becoming a great general who swore to his late friend, the hidden past of King Qin's Iosei, who aims to unify China, the wish entrusted to Wang Ki, a general who returns to the battlefield after a long absence, and the thoughts of his friends who support them.... The theme song "Gold: Till We Meet Again" gently overlaps the story, and its voice brings the story, which can be called the "soul of Kingdom," to a moving conclusion.

However, the "Battle of Mayang" opens with a blade of hatred toward the State of Qin wielded by Wangyoku, the second-in-command of the enemy Zhao.

The action scenes that unfold on a grand scale convey a sense of realism and urgency, as if one were on the battlefield. Shin, together with his hundred men and flying squadron, confronts the great army of the State of Zhao with far greater strength and reliability than in the previous film, which was his first battle.

Yomei sits in the royal palace with a vow from the past: "Thanks to you, I will be king, and I will be king for sure. What is the past that Wang Ki, the monstrous bird that was supposed to be resting its wings, has to face?

The first half, in which the fates of each character are set in motion and their feelings overlap, and the second half, in which a fiery battle unfolds, are the two main themes of the film, and the result is a video full of highlights.

The poster visual has also been unveiled!

In this poster, Nobu, with his sword at the ready, shows his core strength to pursue his dream of becoming the "Great Shogun of Japan".

At his side is Yomei, who is looking to the future of "the unification of China," which no one has ever achieved, with the past promise he made to Zixia. Behind them, as if to protect them, is Wang Qi, the great general under the heaven. He is smiling strongly and kindly, as if to encourage them in their respective paths.

The cast and crew who lead the Japanese film industry present "Kingdom: Flames of Fate. We hope you will experience the excitement of the film at the theater.
