From Chapter 649. Nothing really has changed in over two hundred chapters.

During the Han Campaign, I was predicting that Kou Yoku would kill or injure Tou because of the dynamic between them. It wasn't just me, though; many people on the sub were of the same opinion. But Tou retired without such a confrontation, and now there's no longer a possibility for them to face each other again.

The Chu Duo definitely can't be compared to Fu Tei and Kaine; at least Haku Rei has a general kill to his name. Kou Yoku also had his storyline with Tou, and he captured Keito on his own. And both of them, unlike Fu Tei, have led their armies on campaigns. But still, I believe this duo has been treated unfairly, or rather, that they haven't been given the importance they deserve.

There are at least three more campaigns to be fought against Chu, and they will likely play active roles in them. However, their armies, skills, and strength will feel unearned and artificial, because we haven't seen the stages of development they've gone through. I would have liked to see their battles against Qi, Wei, or the southern kingdoms, even if just for a few panels. A chance could have been given to them instead of dedicating at least one chapter to Kaine and Ri Boku in every single Zhao arc.

I hope their stories conclude in a way that is fitting for their characters.
