Kingdom — Chapter 318

Oh boy, have the readers of Kingdom Chapter 316 got some *thoughts* this week, and it seems like one particular duel really got under everyone's skin! ⚔️

The big talking point? Tou’s fight against Kouyo. Many fans are scratching their heads, wondering how this "kid" is managing to keep pace with Tou, especially when Ouki himself once said Tou’s strength was never less than his! People are pointing out that even Shin was devastated after stopping Rempa’s attack, yet Kouyo seems relatively unfazed while Tou is "fuming." 🤔

It’s led to a strong feeling that the author might have "nerfed" Tou just to drag out the fight or make it a duel, which some readers found "disappointing" after all the recent highs. "What the f***..." pretty much sums up the collective disbelief for some! 🤯

On a slightly different note, even though she’s not everyone’s favorite, Karin did get a nod for at least knowing what she’s doing. So, a mixed bag of reactions, but mostly focused on the surprising (and for some, frustrating) turn in Tou's performance. What do *you* think?
