Shinsengumi

[TylerY]

I've recently gotten a real interest in the Shinsengumi and I was wondering if there were others on the forum who knew stuff about them that they'd be willing to share?

Heres what I know about the Shinsengumi:

They were known as the Miburou and were like a Bakufu SWAT team used against the imperialist revolutionaries in Kyoto

They wore light blue and white haori

I believe they were a separate group from the Bakufu (which was the military side of the shogunate). Almost like a bunch of vigilantes, but on the side of, and tolerated by, the shogunate.

This has some information on it. Hope it gives you some information you want.

P.S- You watch a lot of Rurouni Kenshin, don't you? Not that it's a bad thing if you do.

Yeah.. same here. BUT, I have a good eighty years(hopefully) to develope my seme and timing to break through that "god-like" speed of Mr.Himura's.

The Shinsengumi was lead by a samurai named Kondo Isami. He was a villager that was adopted into the samurai class by the Kondo family.

Gotta love Kenshin and his sword which surpasses the speed of light lol

Oh BTW does anyone know the "secret" of his super-technique, as said in the anime? My friend's been arguing with me that he takes one less step, where I've been saying it's because he's been taking an extra one. We're both too lazy to find the episode and re-watch it, so if anyone knows off the top of their heads, it'd be greatly appreciated.

It's that whole "need to live," and not throwing away your life for the fight attitude. At least that's what I remember being the secret.

That Soujiro kid also mentioned something about the left foot; that's what I was wondering about.

Oh. That was what the difference between his "secret" technique and his regular battou-jutsu was.

I own the entire series on DVD... I'm a Rurouni Kenshin geek.

Hehe, I've recently finished re-watching the entire series, and OVA's in story order. If only there really was a place to learn Hiten Mitsurugi-ryu.... */whimsical*
