What To Expect From Nippon Sangoku Episode 6
With how Episode 5 ended, it is more than likely that the upcoming episode will focus on the war between Seii and Yamato. While Misumi and Asama stay back in the town, the focus will likely shift towards Kaku and Ryumon as they march to Kaga. There is also a chance that we will learn why exactly Kaku left those two behind and what was the reason for Morimiya’s shameful public rally.
Furthermore, based on how the Taira family is actively involved in the current narrative, an internal conflict is not completely out of the question. But the bigger question remains: Will Tonotsuga be safe in Kaga, or will a mishap lead to a massive collision between Denki and Ryumon? Will a war break out as the Borderland General Corps reaches Kaga? The only way to know is next Sunday, as the episode comes out.
