Trivia[]
- Ou Kotsu is based on real-life Qin general, Wang He.
- Real-life Ou Kotsu (Wang He) and Ou Ki (Wang Yi) were the same people. In Index of Shiji, written by Sima Zhen in the Tang dynasty, he stated that “王齮即王龁”, which translates to “Wang Yi is Wang He”. This explains both the lack of information about Wang Yi in most historical records and the many overlapping records about Wang Yi and Wang He.
- Ou Ki's death in historical text was written as "始皇帝三年,王龁战死", stating that Ou Kotsu died, further reinforcing the idea that these two individuals were the same person.
- In the actual history of Battle of Chouhei, Ou Kotsu (Wang He) was Haku Ki's deputy, however in the manga and anime flashback, it was Ou Ki, further boosting the point that these two characters were the same person in history.
