8 months after the creation of the Shinsengumi, Kyoto was swept by a wave of chaos.
The events of mid-1863 forced the Choshu people to leave Kyoto.
The movement for the Union of the Emperor and the Shogunate was gaining strength.
Under Satsuma's hand, clans supporting the movement gathered in Kyoto.
In January 1864 from an influential daimyo formed the Council for the protection of the shogun Yoshinobu Ecotubes.
However, by March, the opposition also began to gain strength.
In may, the people of the Choshu clan, who never missed a chance to turn the political situation in their favor,
they began carefully preparing the operation to return to Kyoto.

Edo
I pray for your well-being.
May 21, 1864
Osaka
Mibu-Rosigui officially renamed the Shinsengumi.
We start our service with a clean slate.
Habits are different.
There are more and more people in the squad.
We are now fully occupied by the house of Yagi and Maekawa.
We diligently perform our daily duties.
I'm the only commander now.
I am followed by Vice-commanders Yamanami-kun and Hijikata-kun.
Our duty is to ensure order in the city.
Yamanami-kun handles our business, and Kawai-kun handles our accounting.
Our duty is to check all suspicious people who appear in the city.
Shimada-kun dresses and behaves in a way that sometimes doesn't even look like a samurai.
So he's the perfect person to be a scout.
Our loyal service to the Shogunate is not always welcomed by others.
High-ranking officials look down on us.
Many of them are unhappy that the Shinsengumi work so well.
Announce to Shinsengumi that Osaka is guarded by the magistrate's men.
But they received an order from the military commander of Kyoto himself.
We don't need the help of this upstart peasant, Kondo!
Following.
We are still recruiting new people.
I'm Takeda Kanryusai, from Mori, Izumo.
I am a follower of the Koshu Ryu school.
Brute force alone cannot be the basis for victory.
In these troubled times, a full-scale war can break out at any time.
I'm sure you'll need an experienced strategist.
We could use someone with a professional military background.
However, we do not employ strategists.
You need to ask the opinion of the commander of the Condo.
This won't be necessary!
Don't get me wrong...
I've already evaluated your squad.
I really liked the people I saw.
I'd love to join you.
Following.
Yamazaki Susumu. My father is a doctor.
In Shinsengumi, your pedigree doesn't matter.
What skills do you have?
I don't know if this is a valuable skill, but no one can remember me by sight.
This is not something to brag about.
The person who met me will never remember seeing me again.
Our squad is not for you.
You've already told me that, Hijikata-Sensei.
Have you already been interviewed?
I've been here three times, Yamanami-Sensei.
I think you are Genzaburo-Sensei.
I've already learned your names three times.
I hear you need people to keep an eye on suspicious ronins.
If I may say so... this is the perfect job for me.
You are accepted.
By Tanya Sanjuro
Very well. I, by Tanya Sanjuro, will serve as commander of the Condo as an instructor at the lance.
I will train your people to use the Taneda Ryu-style spear.
I'm counting on you.
Excuse me, but who are your people?
These are my younger brothers.
I'm Mantaro.
I'm Masatake.
Tanya's three brothers are at your disposal.
You didn't tell us before...
Don't be so strict.
That means a couple more people!
But there are three of you!
Right!
Okay.
Okita...
He went into depression after Serizawa's death.
But lately, he's been smiling all the time.
We should thank Yaga-San's daughter for this.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
How's Miyuki?
She's been asleep since last night.
She's better now.
I can come another day...
Don't say that!
When she heard you were here, she wanted to put on makeup and go out.
Please wait a minute.
Certainly.
I would like to inform you about the situation in Kyoto.
Regarding Choshu's plans to return to the capital...
Kusaka Gensui and his men build cunning combinations to raise a rebellion in Kyoto and regain control of the situation.
Such rumors are rife in the city.
Katsura Kogoro, who has secretly returned to Kyoto, is also cooking something.
And the latest news from Sakamoto Ryoma...
Ezo?
Aha. I'm tired of Kyoto.
The North needs strong people.
What are you going to do in Ezo?
Cut down some of the forests, clear the fields, and build a new city.
Would you like to come with me?
I'm responsible for the Shinsengumi.
What nonsense! You forget about them!
Just a minute. Are you from Shinsengumi?
I thought you were a friend of Sakamoto-San.
This Is Kondo Isami.
So you?..
Don't worry, the Shinsengumi don't arrest innocent people.
Come with me to Ezo.
Let's go!
Sorry! Lunch is waiting for you!
Who is it?
Do you want me to introduce you?
Today she is our cook.
What is your name?
Ore.
Be careful with Sakamoto. He's a womanizer.
My name is Sakamoto Ryoma.
Why are you called the op?
("Raguza" - "the Palace of the dragon") Part of the syllable from the "Reguse".
(The name "Rema" translates roughly as "Rio + uma", " dragon+horse") Really? It's part of my name!
What a coincidence!
So I can call you ore.
I'm going to set up a permanent Shinsengumi post in Osaka.
We need to keep an eye on the ronins there.
And on our way - official Uchiyama.
We need to take action.
What are you planning to do?
Yamazaki, there's a job for you.
Everyone has skeletons in the closet.
I am sure that Uchiyama is also not without sin.
I want you to find out.
Obey.
In October, I was called to the daimyo Aizu.
I have a suggestion...
We are going to join an Alliance with Satsuma, Tosa, Aki, and Higo and discuss common plans.
We will gather the best people in the country to discuss the future of Japan.
I want you to be on this Council, too.
Condo, Express your opinion as a commander of the Shinsengumi.
Kondo-Dono, this is the daimyo's wish. Accept this appointment with gratitude.
October 10, 1863
The commander of the Shinsengumi Kondo the IP, please.
Me?
The anti-foreign movement must be supported at all costs.
If disunited clans are subjected to direct and indirect attacks by foreigners, nothing good will come of it.
To protect the country, all clans need to join forces and go to the same goal.
And the Tokugawa shogun must lead us.
I am impressed by your concern for the future of your native country.
I've never been more excited than at this meeting.
And by spring, an old friend came to Kyoto.
This is Sakuma Shozan-Sensei from the Matsushiro clan.
He came to Kyoto by order of the government.
This is commander Shinsengumi, Kondo Isami.
It's been a long time, Shozan-Sensei.
Do you know Kondo-Dono?
No, I don't know.
We met when the Black squadron arrived...
It doesn't matter.
You remind me of someone...
Little devil?
How did you guess?
From now on, I'll call you that.
Kondo, how old are you?
Thirty-one.
You've crossed the thirty-year mark.
Are you already thinking about the fate of the country?
I just remembered you.
The man who tried to steal the banner from the Black Squadron became the commander of the Shinsengumi.
You've been going for a long time.
It's not just a compliment. You have become a great man.
Thank you.
Shozan-Sensei, tell me - what should I do?
What can I do in all this chaos?
For Japan to survive and develop, it must have sufficient strength to resist economic and political intervention.
In other words, Japan should unite as it did 250 years ago.
The Emperor and the Shogunate must stand shoulder to shoulder!
This is the only chance.
I am known as one of the most famous and ardent adherents of the Union of the court and the Shogunate.
I am one of the few who can combine these two forces.
What can I do?
I don't know.
You have to think for yourself.
Did you eat all the tavern supplies again?
I ate very little!
Why did you do that?
I was hungry. My father stopped sending me money, and I had nothing to eat.
What do I care?
Stop shouting, as if something went wrong.
Get out if you want!
As if I really wanted to work here!
Sateska, go back to Tama.
No way! I will do something great here and prove it to all of you!..
Until then, I will not leave Kyoto!
Sorry for the noise.
I apologize for all the problems that it gives you.
Sateska, where are you going?
What do you care?
I decide where to go.
Hey, if you have nowhere to go, go work for me.
This is fate.
You will serve me while I stay in Kyoto.
But he can't do anything.
You are short-sighted.
He can protect me from bullets.
And who are you?
It doesn't matter who I am.
(Hannya - in Japanese mythology, a man in a demon mask who sold his soul to the devil) You remind me of hannya.
From now on, I will call you "Hannya".
Now Sateska was a companion of Shogun-Sensei.
Something's bothering me.
What?
Okita-San, do you know what happened to Serizawa-San?
Were you involved in his death?
Please tell me the truth.
Of course not.
I just felt something bad in the air at the time.
I often anticipate future events.
Go home.
If I'm late, Kondo-Sensei won't be happy.
I need to write to you...
Yamazaki unearthed something amazing.
Official Uchiyama Hikojiro from Osaka fooled us all.
He got in touch with the major lamp oil dealers and let them push up prices.
For this, he receives large bribes.
Good job.
There is something else.
In 1855, the peasants of Kamigata sold their oil at the standard price.
He was bribed by businessmen, and he illegally put the peasants in prison, and confiscated the goods.
Disgusting.
It seems that he simply hates all people of peasant origin.
We need to send a report to the magistrate.
I'm sure he has his own people in the magistrate's office.
We don't want him to hide the ends in the water and hide.
What do you suggest?
We'll talk to him ourselves.
You're making a fool of me!
You thought I'd give in to your threats?
It's funny!
Do you consider yourself invulnerable?
How many years do you think have passed since that case?
Everything is forgotten. You're late.
I don't care about any of this.
You can't deny your connection to the oil merchants.
Do you think the magistrate will believe you?
First of all, we weren't going to complain to the authorities.
We informed the military commandant of Kyoto.
How dare you...
Anyway, you have no proof!
You're under arrest!
Why was Saito arrested?
He was accused of stealing.
Idiocy!
Remember his friend-the Yakuza, Koroku?
A month ago, he was involved in a robbery at an Osaka store and got caught.
During the interrogation, he admitted that he had a friend in Shinsengumi.
Are you sure it's him?
Yes, I'm sure.
Is Saito still in touch with him?
No, he hadn't seen koroka in a long time.
Then?..
Korok was told that if he surrendered Saito, his sentence would be reduced.
But this is slander!
I will speak to Katamori immediately.
I'm sure he'll get Saito out.
Are you not happy that Saito was cleared of suspicion?
Tell Hijikata not to threaten me again.
If you still don't understand...
I'm not just an official.
I was granted an audience with the shogun.
My men will guard Osaka.
And Kyoto is enough for your people.
We, the people of Kamigata have my pride.
You country samurai from Kanto, just an upstart! I don't want you here anymore!
Understand?
You are not welcome here.
I will destroy the Shinsengumi.
You're just an eyesore. Away!
Just the sight of you makes me sick!
Away!
I understand you perfectly.
Your every word is forever etched in my heart.
May I add something?
What?
Scum like you contribute to the downfall of the Shogunate.
What audacity!
I hope you understand me too!
Right now, the government and the entire country are on the verge of an unprecedented crisis.
Now is the time to forget about the estates and your own purebloods and finally start protecting the Emperor and the shogun in the face of the threat of invasion!
Despite all this, you are still able to see only your birthright and ignore the situation in which the country is located.
I can't understand how the earth carries the likes of you!
Shut up!
While scum like you, will not disappear from the Tokugawa Shogunate has no future!
Out!
I know when I should leave.
Uchiyama must die.
Do it or back off. Now you understand that, too.
Uchiyama has a bad reputation.
His estate is guarded because he is afraid of an assassination attempt.
We'll attack him when he goes home.
I'm with you.
No.
The commander must remain at the base.
You always get the dirty work.
I can't accept it.
Ll have to. Because you are our commander.
Do not entice him into an ambush.
Funds are not important, the main thing is success.
Challenge him in the open...
...and kill.
Fight openly.
He must understand why he is being killed.
May 20, 1864
Who are you?
I'll help!
Are you okay?
Sorry, I'm dizzy.
She has a fever.
I'll call a doctor.
Why did you write this?
Now it looks like it was an attack by a radical group.
Let's go.
Although all this is for the sake of Shinsengumi and justice, I doubt that I am acting like a samurai.
And I can't help sharing it.
However, we are doing a great job.
Don't worry, please.
Please pass on my best wishes for good health and happiness.
Sincerely yours Kondo Isami.
Thank you for waiting. she's ready.
I apologize for that incident.
How do you feel?
I'm fine now. Just a little overwork.
Care of me.
If you don't mind...
This is an amulet against fatigue.
Thank you.
I'm not so bad that you should worry so much.
I wrote a letter to Edo.
Do you want me to give it to the messenger?
If it's easy.
For your sake, I will hurry him.
Is this for your wife?
What's her name?"
Zone.
Tsune-San has a wonderful husband.
She's too good for me.
However, we are doing a great job.
Don't worry about us.
Please pass on my best wishes for good health and happiness.
Sincerely yours Kondo Isami.
