Rema was able to achieve a military Alliance on mutually beneficial terms.
(Judging by the analysis of historical facts, it was the organization of the Satsuma-Choshu Union that marked the beginning of the end of the bakufu government.) Satsuma and Choshu decided to join forces against the Shogunate.
That's it, it's done!
A couple of days after joining Satsuma and Choshu...
Terada-ya, Fushimi
Why the hell did you come running like this?
We're in trouble. The house is cordoned off by the police.
Isn't Sakamoto here?
Specify which Sakamoto you are talking about.
Sakamoto Ryoma of Tosa!
This scoundrel defied the Shogunate.
We know he's here!
I need to check the hotel's guest list.
Why waste time on it? We need to get inside before he leaves.
It's you...
It should be on the second floor, in the back room! Don't miss it!
To storm!
We are the samurai of the Satsuma clan. What's going on here?
If you're from Satsuma, why are you threatening us with weapons?
You seem to know what it is.
Try not to kill anyone.
Wow, how many people are here!

Hiroshima?
They are of the opinion that we should attack Choshu.
Elder Ogasawara Nagamichi-sama will arrive in Hiroshima to pass sentence on the Choshu clan.
If the Choshu people don't submit, there will be war.
However...
I will accompany senior warden Nagai-San.
Why do you have to go?
I said I would go.
Matsudaira Katamori doesn't want to start a war against Choshu.
Last year I could not attend the Council, but this time I will try to convince everyone to end it in peace.
The Shogunate will forget about the Choshu's treason if they agree to cut the province's land and provide their daimyo and his son as hostages.
This is pointless.
Who do you think most hate Choshu?
The Shinsengumi.
Your presence will only add fuel to the fire.
Still, I'll try.
You may be killed.
I will do this in the name of the Shogunate and daimyo Katamori.
I ask ito-San and Takeda-San to accompany me to Hiroshima.
I'll be happy to go with you.
Let's also take Shinohara. It might come in handy.
I'll be happy to go.
Commander, maybe I should stay this time.
I want you to come with me.
I am flattered by your confidence, but the situation in Kyoto is becoming increasingly unstable.
I would like to stay and support Hijikata.
In that case...
I can accompany you instead of Takeda.
The Choshu army received a new type of rifle.
They have much higher accuracy and range than our rifles.
I wouldn't mind seeing it.
New rifles don't mean anything by themselves.
We will also have to use Western tactics, otherwise sooner or later we will lose.
Japan will never accept Western methods of warfare.
We have the Koshu tactics of the Takeda Shingen era.
In any case, it is necessary to find out more about the military power of the Choshu.
Hijikata-kun will keep an eye on the situation while I'm away.
Obey.
Fire!
To disperse!
We must take this seriously!
Fifty re?!
Will you help me out?"
I really need to buy something.
It's impossible. Save money from your paycheck and buy whatever you want.
If I don't hurry, others will buy it.
That's why I decided to stay, not go with Kondo.
Fifty re is too much.
You must have a reserve!
If I give you this money, Hijikata-San will be very unhappy.
I can't let that happen.
Leave it to me!
Inhale... exhale...
And why didn't you listen to the doctor's advice, huh?
I ordered you to rest!
At this time, the commander of the First division of the Shinsengumi can not rest.
At least get more sleep.
I only need five years...
If I live for five years, it will be fine.
Why five?
During this time, I hope that order will be established in Kyoto, and there will be no more massacres.
Tell me, it's possible, can't you help me?
I don't want anything else!
Just make sure I live another five years!
Don't be silly.
How do you want to last five years with this lifestyle?
Stop taking your health so lightly!
I will never come here again, quack!
You're a charlatan!
Oyuki House
Honestly...
...I don't know if I'll come back alive.
Isami-sama, is your mission important enough to sacrifice your life?
Yes.
Well good luck.
February 12, 1866, Kyoto
Someone from Shinsengumi is going to make a seppuku today.
Before he dies, he wants to join the path of Buddhism.
But I'm not a monk.
Just talk to him, please.
The other monks are currently busy.
I can listen to you if you want.
You can help me a lot.
I hear you're going to commit seppuku.
Yes. I made these decisions as soon as I realized my mistakes.
I still can't believe I'm going to die soon.
What could have happened?
I want to tell you this before I die.
Begin.
It was twelve days ago.
January 30
Here, look. it says everything about Western troops.
From tactics and strategy to weapon types.
As much as 50 re?
Idiot! There are no more books of this kind in Kyoto. It's worth a lot more than fifty re!
The owner said that several other people came and asked for their prices.
If you don't buy it now, then it will be too late!
This book is a must for Shinsengumi!
You do not lose a little?
I gave Takeda-San 50 Ryo from the reserves of the unit, bypassing Hijikata-San and without any permission.
Aren't you an expert on Koshu strategy?
Dubina, that's why I'm studying Western strategy.
If I combine them, it will be something great.
And I will make the Shinsengumi the strongest in the world!
Do you understand?
Takeda-San always behaves somewhat haughtily, so many people do not like him.
But when I saw how eagerly he was studying this book, I realized that in his own way he was a very responsible person.
I wrote to my father and asked him to send me 50 re.
My father sells rice in Takasago, Harima.
I thought the money would come in five days.
But two days later...
February 2
Ten days ago
How much money do we have at the moment?
A little more than five hundred re.
I want to see your ledgers.
Bring them.
Obey.
I couldn't understand why Hijikata-San needed my books so suddenly.
As I was later told, the second person to ask for the book was Hijikata-San himself.
Was it bought?
You're a little late.
Was it a good book?
What did the person who bought it look like?
It was a samurai.
His hair was long and slicked back.
He was short, sharp-eyed, and wore round glasses.
There is only one such person in all of Japan.
Where did Kantusa could take 50 re...
Total 462 re.
Kawai, on records should be 512 re.
Fifty re is missing.
Did someone take them?
By no means.
Then why isn't there enough?
Hijikata-San wanted me to admit that it was Takeda-San who bought the book. Then he could sentence him to death and take her away.
I really don't know!
If you're covering for someone, just tell us.
It will be better for you to tell everything honestly.
Why do you need all this?
You can order me to take the blame.
Stubborn man.
My father will send me the money any day.
I under no circumstances would not want to cause damage to our unit.
Can't you forgive me?
Ask you.
When will you get the money?
No later than five days.
Perfectly.
Do you know what will happen if you don't return the money?
You will have to make a seppuku.
Seppuku?
You, our accountant, have neglected your duties. Isn't that right?
You're sure you'll have money in five days, aren't you?
Clear. If I don't have any money, I will commit seppuku.
I'm a member of the Shinsengumi. I'm ready for this.
Well said.
I will make allowances, and I will wait ten days.
Five is enough.
No hurry. Let the deadline be extended to ten days.
Ten, then.
I will remain silent for ten days.
If you give me the money on time, I'll forget everything that happened.
Thank you.
I knew that Hijikata-San was serious - he would really sentence me to seppuku.
The money was due any day now, and I was completely calm.
February 7
However...
Five days passed, and the money was not sent to me.
I'm sure he's covering for Kanryusai.
You can forgive him, can't you? After all, no one knows.
We can pretend that nothing happened.
I heard everything!
If 50 Ryo is not returned in five days, Kawai will make seppuku!
We'll find that money!
HE helped us.
We won't let him die for such nonsense!
Let's go!
So we found out...
I can't help you.
But we need to help Kawai.
If Hijikata-San has already made up his mind, we can only agree.
Kawai was stupid.
I don't feel sorry for a man who is wasting his life.
They are always thinking about how to get money.
We need to put Kawai under arrest.
We can't let him escape.
If he escapes, he will definitely have to die.
I can also invest a little.
He often dined here.
You are very kind.
How much more do we need? We don't have 50 re.
I have an idea.
Is this your first time here?
Yes. And you, Saito-San?
Yes, I've been there before.
Listen to me. In gambling, the main thing is to stop playing in time.
As soon as we turn those eight re into fifty, we have to get out of the game. You know?
Probably, winning 50 re is not easy?
Leave everything to me.
Odd!
Bets are made!
Come on, come on!
I'm sorry I got you involved in all this.
Don't worry.
What should we do now?
We collected so much money, and as a result...
How did I lose?!
Wretch...
February 9
Three days ago
Not worry. I don't want you to die.
I had a great idea.
I decided to return this book.
Put your plan into action as quickly as possible, please.
I'm leaving now. I'll come back with the money.
Please!
I beg...
I'm returning the book and I want the money.
Wait a second.
Wait! It's strange...
What do you mean?
You have to take it back for half the price...
You are very perceptive.
Someone really wants to buy this book.
And he will pay 60 re.
Who?
He is from the Shinsengumi.
Hijikata Toshizo?
No, his name is Kano-San.
They received a new type of rifle.
I wouldn't mind seeing them.
No. I can't allow it.
What ?
Excuse me. I changed my mind.
Yesterday it turned out that I can't wait for money.
Why?
My father had important things to do, and he didn't read my letter in time.
And if I did, C would immediately send me a hundred or even two hundred re. My father is very kind.
What about Kondo-Sensei?
The commander is now in Hiroshima.
Hiroshima
Ito-San, you helped me a lot when you joined the Shinsengumi.
You always have comprehensive information at the moment and are able to make far-sighted decisions.
I would like to have more of these people.
You weren't quite right about Takeda.
Frankly, all his military science belongs to the era of bygone days.
He is short and has very poor vision, and therefore cannot walk the path of the Sword.
That is why he decided to get a good education and came to Shinsengumi to apply his knowledge.
I understand that, however...
In a way, we are similar.
I can win a place in the sun only with the help of Rosenhane.
Takeda works very hard.
He doesn't want to lose to you, ito-San.
Let's not talk about it anymore.
Sorry to keep you waiting.
We only arrived here today.
Nagai-sama...
There's no need for formalities.
Kondo, this is a critical situation.
Whether or not the war with Choshu begins depends on how the negotiations go.
We must not engage in senseless slaughter.
Foreigners are already ready to tear our country to pieces, and we should not fight each other.
Daimyo of Aizu espouses the same point of view.
Choshu don't like Shinsengumi very much, you know?
Will you dare to accompany me?
I, Kondo Isami, am willing to sacrifice my life if necessary.
Nishi-Hongan-JI
February 11
One day ago
The deadline is tomorrow.
It's still not too late to tell the truth.
We don't want to sentence you to seppuku.
Who did you give 50 re?
It didn't happen.
Kawai said that he gave you 50 Ryo.
He just wants to avoid responsibility.
What is this book?
What ?
Where did you get the money for this book?
I bought it with my savings.
It is necessary for the development of Shinsengumi.
Will you return it?
Sorry to distract you.
The economist's duty is to keep the organization's money.
If he does not, then he is violating his duty and must therefore die.
Listen to me.
If I find out that you lied in order to shift all the blame to a friend - who will die in this case-I will not forgive you.
Saito will be your kaishaku.
Does it have to be me?
You don't look like yourself.
Nobody wants to be kisaku kawaii.
I can help you.
He said the money would arrive within five days...
I gave him ten whole days.
There are still days left.
No one needs his seppuku.
The tide has turned against Kawai.
If Kondo-San had been here, he would have saved Him.
But you can also save him.
Why don't you do the same as Kondo-San?
Because it's not my style.
I will not allow Kawai to commit seppuku.
He's an excellent economist.
He should not die, because his knowledge is needed by the Shinsengumi.
Hijikata-San!
What were you thinking when you were dying Yamanami?
If we pardon Kawai, then all our unity that emerged after Yamanami's death will be shattered.
When Yamanami died, everyone realized that there would be no exceptions.
If only Kondo-San was here...
Hijikata-San wants it as much as you do.
Kat-Chan...
Kawaii! A courier has arrived!
He delivered 50 re!
Really?!
It's time to go.
So the courier didn't arrive?
Kawai, everyone knows what happened.
It is not necessary to give his life for the sake of Karusa.
It will make Shinsengumi stronger, I believe in it.
Kawai-San, why did you tell me all this?
I want you to tell my father the truth.
Tell your father that Kawai Kisaburo has done nothing to discredit his name.
I will personally see that he is informed.
Thanks!
Now I think...
That life is full of surprises.
Did you hear anything?
Did the courier arrive?
I didn't hear anything.
I don't know what to do.
You need to take the blade.
The courier never arrived?
Can you wait until I count to five?
Courier...
Kawaii!..
He missed!
I need to talk to someone high up!
But...
We need to talk to a high-ranking person!
Elder Ogasawara Nagamichi has come to Hiroshima!
You're putting me in a difficult position...
Do you want a war?
The Choshu seem to be serious about starting a war.
So their Alliance with Satsuma is true.
I'm sorry for Kondo.
He so wanted this meeting, but...
They have shown that they do not want to enter into negotiations.
Kondo-kun soon realizes the gravity of the situation...
When it becomes clear that the Shinsengumi is a relic of the past.
They consider it a point of honor to follow the Bushido code and their own laws.
In the end, they lost now.
Perhaps it's time to think about what path we, members of the ITTO Ryu school, should take.
You're right, but...
Hijikata-San!...
