Notes for nerds
Per-episode chapter ranges come from a single source (the Kingdom Fandom wiki episode pages); season start/end points are corroborated by the wiki season pages, Wikipedia and news articles (Season 5 ends at ch 489, Season 6 starts at ch 490). Episode numbers restart at 1 each season (Crunchyroll numbering); the wiki numbers episodes 1-155 continuously. Ranges are first-to-last chapter adapted; the anime condenses heavily, so individual chapters inside a range are occasionally omitted. Season 1 reorders/skips the Escape from Zhao (ch 74-81, shown in Season 2) and Assassination Plot (ch 82-100) material. Season 2 episode 1 is lumped with episode 2 because its wiki entry is inconsistent, and episodes 37-39 are grouped because they interleave chapters. Season 6 continuation (announced Dec 2025) has not aired as of 2026-10-10. Latest manga chapter count not verified (sourceTotal null); the live-action films are not included.
