The motto?

[Umeko]

Alrighty,

Aku Soku Zan

Aku = Evil
Soku = Immediate
Zan = Kill

I guess everyone kinda knows that. With RK Saitou always going on about it.

The kanji on the Shinsengumi banners is read as Makoto, right?

It means what exactly? I've heard it means devotion... But it can also mean honesty...

[Gentatsu]

Makato means sincerity or loyalty.

[Otemba]

Yep! Ditto, like Okita said! ^^

[Mibbie.]

;; Ya'know...Sometimes I feel REALLY stupid for not knowing this stuff...-__-"

[Otemba]

Its okies child...Just jump in joy an' smile a lot an' nobody will notice..lol...j/k! I didn't know much either 'til I looked up...hehehe

[Pendance]

True you always have to remember the old saying the more you learn the less you understand, each answer brings new questions ^_^ and you always learn somthing new everyday ~_^ i even learn from everyone like Vice Commander Otemba and Okita ^_^ and i have also learned things from people i know little of or about ^^
