Stand and Fight.

—Ma Kou's signature motto.

Ma Kou was a General of the Qin Military and Ou Sen's left-hand man in the Ou Sen Army. He served as the commander of the 2nd Division before he was killed by Ri Boku during the Battle at Shukai Plains.

Appearance[]

Ma Kou was a tall and muscular man with small, slanted eyes and a short goatee. He wore a general's armor of grey coloring and with a helmet designed with the style of the Ou Sen army.

Personality[]

Ma Kou described himself in boasting to be the most powerful offensive general in the Ou Sen Army. However, according to Shou Taku, while Ma Kou is known as a strong offensive commander, he preferred to use tricks and tactics in his style of warfare. He had the patience to use the Gaku Ka Unit to distract the Ki Sui Army and charge right into it.

History[]

It is assumed that Ma Kou worked his way up within the Qin Military to the rank of General and served as a trusted vassal and left hand of Ou Sen for many years.

Story[]

Fire Dragons of Wei Arc[]

Ma Kou made his first appearance when he wonders why Ou Sen's prediction of the Tou Army asking for reinforcements didn’t come true.

Western Zhao Invasion Arc[]

Ma Kou made his official appearance when the army arrived at Retsubi. He was eager to capture the gateway of Zhao's inner cities, but Ou Sen decided on the Hi Shin Unit and Yo Tan Wa Army to take down the city instead.

During the Battle at Shukai Plains, Ma Kou is in charge of the left flank of Qin, but he places his army with the central army. When the Ki Sui Army is ordered to wipe out the decoy of 5000 men of the Gaku Ka Unit, Ma Kou ambushes them, with several wave attacks, giving a big hit to Zhao.
With Ba Tei, who is counterattacking Ma Kou's division, Ki Sui is starting to fight back. But the Ma Kou division is still pressuring the Ki Sui Army, giving time for the Gaku Ka unit to regroup and attack from a different angle. When the Hi Shin and the Gaku Ka units attack the Ki Sui HQ in order to destroy the right flank of Zhao, Ma Kou sends in the rest of his elite troops. But with this, he gives an opening to Ri Boku who ambushes him and his HQ. Ma Kou's neck is then pierced by Ri Boku's sword while his glaive is held by one of his commanders. While mortally wounded, Ma Kou tries to slash at Ri Boku before the latter severs Ma Kou's sword arm and his head with a single blow.

Abilities[]

A battle is all about the Flow in which it develops. And a strategy where any one element can morph into one capable of delivering a decisive blow...Is there any senario more terrifying than that for the enemy? That being said, the main star of this left battlefield is still naturally going to be me.

—Ma Kou to his commanders.

Trivia[]

  • Despite fans believing so, Ma Kou and A Kou are not actually brothers. That is because their first names are the same (Kou), rather than their surnames (Ma and A). The series uses surnames first (for e.g. Mou Ten and Mou Bu).
