Hey everyone...
This is a very sad and emtional post, or to me it is anyway...
Its mainly just about how the Shinsengumi fell in the long army. Everyone one of them died. All accept for three. One of them Being Hajime Saitou, Another Sanosuke Harada, and last...Shinpachi Nagakura.
After a little while, the three departed. And were forced to never see eachother again. After some time, Sano was banished to China and started a group of bandits. Saitou went and did the under cover up fujitama goro, but then he died of a stomach ulcer from too much drinking...
Shinpachi led a more peaceful life, though it was not a real happy one truth be told. he wrote a book called: Shinsen-gumi Tenmatsuki
Saitou's co-worker wrote his his book. He said: "Mr. Saitou saw to a few and did away with them in rapid succesion with a lunge, his special art." On a terror raid by royalists from Satsuma, Choshu and Tosa clans in fall in 1867 on Yasushi Miura, a great talent of Kishu clan, who was selected as a member of the house of Peers there after, when Shinsengumi Company patrolled. He was left handed and good at the lunge with his left hand.
just a breif summery of the book. The book also explains what Shinpachi's experiences were like being in the Shinsengumi. It is very tragic, his words.

Yes, Ryouma's quite a historical figure. I was a bit let down by the anime portrayal of him (reckless thrill-seeker). However, the PMK graphic novel did him some justice. He has a key figure in the modernization of Japan. First naval academy (got closed by the Shogunate), first trading firm aka gun running front... and he got the Choshu and Satsuma clans to quit trying to tear out each other's throats and unite against the pro-Shogunate front.
