Description
Pang Tong appears in the anime film *Sangokushi [2] Chōkō Moyu!*, though concrete details about his specific portrayal within this adaptation are limited. Available information emphasizes his historical and literary background.
Known by the courtesy name Shiyuan and the moniker "Fledgling Phoenix" (鳳雛), counterpart to Zhuge Liang's "Sleeping Dragon," Pang Tong was a strategist initially overlooked due to his plain appearance. His reputation soared after receiving high praise from the hermit scholar Sima Hui, who declared him the "Crown of Scholars in Jing Province."
His early career saw him serve as an Officer of Merit under Sun Quan's general Zhou Yu, where he befriended figures like Lu Ji and Gu Shao. Following Zhou Yu's death, Pang Tong escorted the coffin to Jiangdong. He later joined Liu Bei's forces around 210, spurred by recommendations from Lu Su and Zhuge Liang. Initially appointed as a minor county magistrate, boredom led him to neglect his duties, resulting in dismissal. However, he dramatically demonstrated his administrative prowess by clearing a 100-day backlog in half a day, securing his reinstatement and promotion to Military Adviser General of the Household, sharing the role with Zhuge Liang.
Pang Tong played a critical role in the Battle of Chibi (Red Cliffs), where he devised the pivotal "chained ships strategy" enabling the fire attack on Cao Cao's fleet. His most significant strategic contribution was advocating for Liu Bei's invasion of Yi Province (modern Sichuan and Chongqing), arguing its necessity for establishing a strategic foothold against rivals Cao Cao and Sun Quan.
During the 214 campaign against Liu Zhang, Pang Tong was killed by a stray arrow at the Battle of Luo County (near present-day Guanghan, Sichuan). His death occurred while leading an assault on Luo Castle, an event that galvanized Liu Bei's resolve to secure Yi Province.
The film *Sangokushi [2] Chōkō Moyu!* features Pang Tong's involvement in the alliance against Cao Cao and the recruitment of Zhuge Liang, but specific details regarding his appearance, voice actor, character development, or individual narrative arc within the film are not provided.
