Kingdom Season 6 premiered on October 4, 2025, on NHK General TV at 24:10. The sixth season depicts Shin finally going to battle carrying the glaive of Ouki, the legendary great general who named the Hi Shin Unit and showed Shin the path to becoming a great general before entrusting his weapon to him eight years prior. Now matured through countless battles, Shin prepares to face the full-scale war against Zhao wielding Ouki's glaive.

Tomonari Sora composed, wrote lyrics, and arranged Hoko, creating a powerful track that complements the escalating conflict depicted in the series. The song's artwork was also designed by Tomonari Sora himself. The opening theme song for Season 6, Ikite Sansan, is performed by Ikimonogakari.
