The video starts with a fan-favorite scene from "Kingdom," where Xin (played by Yamazaki), who has become the captain of the Fei Xin Force, and his childhood friend Bi Tou (played by Takahiro Miura), who has fought alongside him, converse in a night forest.

Xin's incredible dream of becoming "the greatest general under the heavens" gradually inspires Bi Tou and their companions to risk their own fates for him. However, this emotional moment is short-lived as the atmosphere shifts dramatically with the unsettling arrival of Li Mu (played by Shun Oguri).

Since the outbreak of the Battle of Bayou, Qin's enigmatic Great General, Ouki (played by Takao Osawa), who had been observing the battle from afar, finally takes action. The video showcases a duel between Ouki and his fateful adversary, Hou Ken, marking their first confrontation in nine years.

The video captures Ouki, brimming with rage, and poses the question: what drives him to fight? The two generals of Qin and Zhao face off again at the fateful battleground of Bayou. New cast member Jiao, along with the former deity of war served by Ouki, King Sho of Qin (played by Masakazu Tamura), also make their appearance.

Characters like Ei Sei (played by Ryo Yoshizawa), Ka Ryo Ten (played by Kanna Hashimoto), Yo Tan Wa (played by Masami Nagasawa), and Kyou Kai (played by Nana Seino) also appear, leading up to the ultimate final battle where Xin witnesses "the view a general sees." The release of the footage hints at the birth of the series' greatest masterpiece yet.

The new visual features a valiant Xin, who has climbed the ranks to become a Hundred-Man Commander from being a war orphan, and the dignified Great General of Qin, Ouki, facing Hou Ken with an intensity never seen before.

Surrounding them are key characters and newcomers of the series: Hou Ken as the ultimate enemy, Li Mu with his eerie composure, and Ei Sei continuously praying for Xin's safety and Qin's victory, culminating in a visual packed with intensity and anticipation.
