Will this 5th season conclude the story?

Or will we need to bleed over to a 6th season, or further? If possible, I'd like to finish off the series in one shot when I watch again.

No spoilers, pls.

It's gonna take a couple of years to finish this series

Nah, the manga is still ongoing and out of the 6 enemy kingdoms has fallen so far. So yeah, I won't be surprised if the manga will go on for another decade

Not even close, to give you an idea, this fifth season may cover Koku You Campaign arc and the Bureaucrats Job arc. (58 chapters both)

And then we have the monster that is Western Zhao Invasion arc. (147 chapters)

Western Zhao invasion concludes on chap 642 and there are 730+ chapters available because the manga is still ongoing.

The mangaka also said that 1000 chapters wouldn’t be enough just for Unification of China, so manga still has some time left.

So… yeah the story is not concluding in the near future lol

This is not milking. This is "having a lot to tell". This series is about one of the most intense times in chinese History, which, itself, is amongst the longest and most eventful History in the world. It was always to be expected that the manga would be long. "One Piece" is about milking, yes. The 1000 episodes could easily be cut down to 200. Simply because something is long doesn't mean it is milked... This needs some critical thinking.

Thank you! That guy talking about milking the show knows nothing about what he’s talking about. This is about history not commerce. Hara sensei is telling an amazing story with so much depth and culture, it needs time and the room to be as spectacular as it is.

I would theorize that there is something of a culture shock here. I find it interesting. The profile of 'this guy' states that he is from the USA. Culture, in the USA, tends to be all about pandering and delivering, about making it a product that sells to the masses, and hence, is all about immediate, lowbrow satisfaction. Not all, but many americans are used to this and find it normal. Being raised there, this now defines their idea of 'quality' entertainement. But this is true everywhere: where you were raised shaped your views. In Japan, it is all about taking time, frustrating people for years, and raising anticipation constantly: it is the opposite of immediate satisfation, it is about neverending teasing. The idea behind what is a good 'cultural product' and what the right way to deliver it is, are completely at odds in those places.

And what i find interesting, too, is that, while i am french, you are seemingly british... Considering what our respective positions is on this matter, i believe that should tell a lot ;). Yeah, Europe is in-between everything, somehow. And truth is always a matter of perspective.

Just happened to read this and i must say i agree. Also European here and that's a really interesting point you bring out. Personally i really like the way Japanese do things, at least for this series. And there is also fun in some series that Americans do. But since this series is produced in Japan it should be obvious. As someone who doesn't know much about Chinese history this series is a great way to get to know more about its history. And i'm totally fine with waiting. In fact when a story just concludes it is usually put aside and forgotten easily.

As to the OP, perhaps it's not bleeding if you don't take it as suffering in the first place. Enjoy the characters, the story, if you forget, rewatch it again. Of course if you feel like it. In the end it's your own free time. I'll likely rewatch it since i also took a small break from reading/watching it. For longer series it's normal that it happens.

In no way is the series being milked. Kingdom is story dense and void of unnecessary filler.
