All this strategic battle between the OP generals - Riboku and Ousen makes me wonder how Shin can stand up to , in being a genius in tactics and warfare. Both of them are like playing high level of chess with the lives of thousands of men. The survival of most andthe outcome of the war depends on how they outwit and figure out each other. I can't imagine Shin being a part of them other than being the instinctive leader that he is when he is on the battlefield. Lol.
