Episode 22 "Recruit Zhuge Liang"

These last few episodes have been about squeezing as much angst out of Liu Bei and I’m all for it. Introducing a new powerful Legend Hero Ma Chao with an unstable Hero Piece that goes out of control.



Liu Bei has become squarely focused on his training to the point of not caring about the new Legend Hero. A letter is given to him by Xu Shu to team up with Zhuge Liang.




He initially refuses because he blames Liu Bei for Xu Shu’s death only agreeing after reading his letter and with a test for Liu Bei to obtain the Ma Chao piece. The end of the episode reveals that the warlord is Liu Bei’s brother and that his original name is Liu Jin.



We see how badly Xu Shu’s death affects Liu Bei and even gets more out of Zhuge Liang’s character with how he blames Liu Bei. Also delving into Liu Bei’s backstory is great. Love the progression of the story and I’m excited to learn more about Liu Bei’s life.
