The ongoing series is a 2018 animated adaptation of Ryu Fujisaki's 1990s manga series,"Hoshin Engi," which is in turn inspired by the Chinese literary classic, "Investiture of the Gods." And as such, viewers both old and new are bound to make some comparisons between this and the previous adaptation that aired in 1999.
Fans are also quick to point out how the ongoing adaptation has been skipping some significant details that were elaborated in the previous one. Moreover, the new series also seems to have missed introducing the character, Raishinshi, who plays a very significant role in the entire narrative.
Will Raishinshi be brought into the story in a different way?
In the meantime, the preview for the next episode titled, "Two Paths," teases yet another challenge that Taikobo will have to overcome in his quest to bring together the strongest possible team to fulfill his ultimate goal.
