The 12th episode of the sixth series of the TV anime "Kingdom," based on the popular manga by Hara Yasuhisa, titled "Rank Deficiency," will be broadcast on NHK General TV from 12:10 a.m. on December 20th.
Thanks to the efforts of Shin and the Rakuka Squad, morale is restored to the Makou Army. Riding this momentum, Meng Tian makes his next move to push back the front lines. On the opposite battlefield, the Gyoku Hou Squad fights alongside the Akou Squad against the Zhao Army, while Zhao Erlong's army sets out to kill Wang Ben. The Gyoku Hou Squad is forced to defend itself against the fierce attack of Zhao Erlong's army, known as the "unsung hero" of the Zhao Army. But at that moment, Wang Ben remembers something Meng Tian had said to him before.
