| “ | The blood of our comrades who are fighting upstream...The blood of Shin-dono and all the other men! How could we be scared of a mere river!? Our friends are shedding their blood to give us an opportunity here! FOLLOW ME!! HERE WE SHALL LAY DOWN THE HI SHIN UNIT'S BRIDGE!"" | ” |
En is a 5000-Man Commander of the Qin Military and the first lieutenant of the Hi Shin Unit. He is one of the central figures of the army unit, as he serves as the auxiliary commander for the core of the army and General Ri Shin's right-hand since their days as a 100-Man Unit. He is the leader of En Unit.
Appearance[]
En is a middle-aged man with brown hair, styled in a bowl cut and topknot (though it appears black in the anime). He has a goatee and mustache with a small beard, thick eyebrows, brown eyes, and freckles across his face. After months of leading the Nanba Tribe alongside Shin, En developed a muscular physique, marked by large scars on his arms and a messier appearance.
Initially, En wore a simple light brown robe with long sleeves, a white belt, and straw sandals. However, after returning from the lawless regions with Shin, he discarded the sleeves and adopted a look similar to Shin’s sleeveless style. Later, he would resume wearing his robes but with the sleeves shortened.
During battles, En maintained this appearance but began wearing chainmail after the Hi Shin Unit's promotion to a 300-Man Unit. Upon the unit’s promotion to a 1000-Man Unit, En switched to sky-blue scale mail armor, which was standard for Qin military officers. This armor included neck guards on his pauldrons, an addition that ultimately saved his life during the Choyou Campaign. En also wore arm bracers and pants, continuing this appearance thereafter.
Personality[]
Initially, En appeared to be cowardly and showed little enthusiasm for battle. However, after spending significant time with Shin while subjugating the lawless regions, he gained considerable confidence—not only in his abilities but also in his role as a commander. His experience in these harsh conditions allowed him to grow stronger both physically and mentally, with a newfound sense of leadership.
En's respect for Shin deepened over time, and this bond became a defining aspect of his character. He came to view Shin not only as his commander but also as a figure he could rely on and learn from. This respect grew to such an extent that En became willing to make personal sacrifices for Shin's success. In one critical moment, he was prepared to sacrifice his own well-being to ensure that Shin could land a decisive blow against one of the Zhao Commanders, Fuu Ki. This act of selflessness demonstrated the trust En had in Shin's leadership and his unwavering loyalty to the Hi Shin Unit.
En’s growth as a leader and his commitment to Shin played a significant role in his transformation from a hesitant soldier to a confident and dependable commander. Through the challenges they faced together, En not only proved his worth as a fighter but also earned the respect of his fellow soldiers.
Story[]
Training Arc[]
After the failed assassination attempt on Ei Sei's life orchestrated by Ryo Fui, En is placed in Fuuri as a liaison by Heki. One of Shin's first requests to En is for him to take him to Ou Ki's City. Initially, he is reluctant to go as he heard rumors of how unwanted guests at Ou Ki's estate are put to death on the spot and En himself has a family with two small children to feed but later becomes more cooperative when Shin gives him a pouch with gold bars.
After Shin had requested to be trained by the Qin Great General and Ou Ki dumped Shin in a Stateless Area in response, En helps Shin subjugate the area in three months. After this, he becomes one of Shin's lieutenants.
Battle of Bayou Arc[]
En was part of the Hi Shin Unit, christened by Ou Ki himself. In an assassination mission, he led the other half of the unit, holding Zhao troops long enough for Shin to slay Fuu Ki. Later during Man Goku's routing the unit, he survived and went along with the others when they were trapped by Shou Mou, who was later killed by Ou Ki. He was also alongside Shin when he charged upon the Hou Ken Army.
Sanyou Campaign Arc[]
En was with the Hi Shin Unit when they charged upon Gao Lang Castle. He was also with Shin during the latter's duel with Rin Ko.
Sanyou Aftermath Arc[]
En was still on Shin's side, and he also took a tactician role with Shin when Kyou Kai left the unit, but worse still, they were on a losing streak as he and Shin were inexperienced in strategy and tactics, leading Ka Ryo Ten to be sent.
Coalition Invasion Arc[]
En was alongside Shin when they were regrouping with the rest of the Hi Shin Unit members. He also survived both Man Goku's attack and Ri Boku's rout of Duke Hyou's soldiers and headed to Sai where they were able to hold their position.
Fire Dragons of Wei Arc[]
En was tasked to go with Shin against the Gai Mou Army and later synchronized with the Kyou Kai Unit to charge upon the Wei HQ.
State of Ai Arc[]
En was with Ka Ryo Ten when they held the Juuteki Tribe and Ai Army with the Loyalists just to distract them to allow Shin to infiltrate Kanyou.
Koku You Campaign Arc[]
En and his unit crossing Kokuyou's river.
En was charged by Shin to cross the dangerous part of the river, while the former will soak any damage that the enemies throw. He mustered enough courage to cross the river and eliminate the Zhao on the river.
Western Zhao Invasion Arc[]
En was alongside Shin when they charged upon Retsubi. Later they fought Ki Sui. He was also a part of the unit that showed up to assist the Gyoku Hou Unit. He was then used as Shin's rallying point against Gyou’un.
Three Pillars Arc[]
As part of Shou Hei Kun's military reform, to make unification possible after their two consecutive defeats, a number of promotions were decided, including one for En, who was promoted to 5000-Man Commander.
Conquest of Han Arc[]
TBA Arc[]

As the first lieutenant of Hi Shin Unit, En is a very adept commander. He showed his abilities time and time again in leading the infantry and issuing tactics learned through experience. His biggest strength is his sense of responsibility.
Physical Abilities[]
En is very proficient with a spear as he is able to kill enemy soldiers. However, he was unable to block a heavy strike from Ryuu Fu.
Leadership[]
En proves to be a capable leader and is capable of rousing his soldiers in pivotal moments. Men tends to reach out to him and share his problem with him, indicating the trusts they have on his responsibility and leadership.
Tactical Abilities[]
En has developed a solid and strong understanding of tactics, honed through his extensive experience assisting Shin in the stateless regions. His tactical skills were particularly evident during the Battle of Bayou, where he showcased an impressive command of group tactics. En and Shin demonstrated a masterful ability to flank larger groups of opponents during a strategy meeting with the squad leaders, effectively using surprise attacks against a highly trained enemy army.
While En may not excel in devising grand strategies, he is quick to issue effective tactical commands in the heat of battle, handling immediate challenges with decisive action.
Weaknesses[]
En is not a born military strategist nor a genius in planning large-scale operations. This became especially evident when he and Shin were tasked with creating the battle plans for the Hi Shin Unit after their promotion to a 1000-Man Unit. During this time, they suffered significant losses in various skirmishes against weaker opponents.
