Shinsengumi: Assassins of Honor Page #4

Hey, kid!

I know you're sincere,

but you're nalve.

I don't think that he

is being nalve.

We want nothing to do

with Osaka tycoons.

What do you plan

to do then?

We shall appeal to General Matsudaira,

the military commissioner of Kyoto.

We shall complete our mission

no matter what happens.

Whether it's lmperialist or Shogunate forces,

the people behind the unrest in Kyoto...

...are doing it because they

hope to profit from it.

The Commissioner must

have his hands full.

Thus we will approach him, expressing our

desire to help keep things peaceful...

...during the Shogun's

visit to Kyoto.

Hey, don't kid

yourself.

"Daimyo:
" feudal lord.

The guy's a Daimyo with

Hey... wait.

Are you serious?

Very serious.

As a former farmer who is now a swordsman,

I have given up my life in Edo to be here.

I am defeated, Kon...

...you're more than just a master

of a country dojo...

...you're a great man.

I've had it.

How much longer are they

going to make us wait?

It's not like we're enjoying

the suspense.

If the answer's "no" then I wish they'd

just tell us, for crying out loud.

Their letter of request is proper, but they

are ronin riffraff nobody's ever heard of.

If we agree to this, they could potentially

bring shame upon our Aizu fief.

Let them in. This Kondo Isami

is straightforwardly earnest.

Could we not

use them?

Oh?

Oh?

The lmperialists of the Choshu fief...

...have gone overboard with their

assassinations and violence.

Even the Emperor

is upset at them.

And now we are offered a weapon

with which to suppress them.

I see, sir.

I see, sir.

If they get out of hand, disband them at once.

Think of them as pet dogs,

and attend to their appeal.

We did it! This

is great!

"Shinsengumi:
" lit. "newly chosen group"

We've just been chosen...

we're the Shinsengumi.

And I'm the

captain!

Be silent when at

this noble gate!

My apologies.

Sign:
"Shinsengumi Quarters, Officially

Authorized by Lord Matsudaira"

Move!

Out of the way!

What? You can't

use a sword?

Then you can't

join us.

But... I'm second to none when it comes

to reading, writing, and the abacus.

Well, how good are you at killing

men with your abacus?

"Gion:
" nearby town known for its

shrines, festivals and teahouses.

This is the Shinsengumi. Go apply at

a clothing store or move to Gion.

Okay, next!

Please! Please!

Move!

You're just a

townsman!

Next!

Good!

Next!

I implore you! I am no good with

a sword, but please let me join.

This is the sword that my

dad bought for me.

I want to be a samurai more

than anything else.

I will train in swordsmanship!

I will endure all hardship!

My name is Kawai Kisaburo, the son

of a sake merchant of Okayama.
