    One of my favorite things about the ishin story.. Even though it had nothing to do with the story.. Was the chance to see more intersections and have mode fights between "kiryu" and "nishki"....

    • @LaMuerteBlanca
      @LaMuerteBlanca  10 місяців тому +1

      True. The "kiryu/nishiki" dynamic was one of the series strongest for sure.

    The story is complicated yet straightforward. I think its based off real people. I always found this period of japan to be interesting because it marks the end of the shogun as well as japan beginning to work with other countries. I want them to remake Kenzan and judging by the success of Ishin they probably will, most likely after like a Dragon 8 and Gaiden.

    • @LaMuerteBlanca

      Kenzan had a pretty interesting story as well. A remake of that would be cool since they did such a good job with ishin.

    The historical Kondo Isami never got murdered but he was executed due to the assassination of Sakamoto Ryoma as well as being complicit in the rebellion against the new regime which happened to be the Meiji Emperor who managed to get Imperial Rule back after being sidelined for far too long by various shoguns who ruled Japan with an iron fist and a steel blade.
    In other words, the Tokugawa Shogunate which was established by Tokugawa Ieyasu after the Battle of Sekigahara has been ended by the Choshu, Satsuma and Tosa Clans whose ancestors have been slighted by the Tokugawa because they backed the wrong dude (Ishida Mitsunari led the Anti-Tokugawa faction which aimed to protect the House of Toyotomi’s* authority from being usurped by Tokugawa Ieyasu).
    *-Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Ieyasu’s contemporary, united Japan after centuries of heated civil war but he died, leaving his son and heir who was young at the hands of five trusted ministers who would temporarily rule Japan and help the heir until he grows up yet it’s a big time risk, especially with Ieyasu who would prefer to rule rather than spend another lifetime serving another lord!

    except for ninjas, that part is fictional. even Japan ran with the western interpretation, but in truth a ninja the way their portrayed in movies and games is a myth. the Samurai did exist, but a Samurai was known for more than just using a sword. however a soldier that was part of the Shogunate, those are the guys in armor.
    but there was another type of Samurai, and they were warrior types.
    Sakamoto Ryoma is a warrior type, well some come up with different stories. some games for example will portray him, from a ninja clan, but the Tokugawa clan wasn't a clan of ninjas, they were an army. a Samurai army, but one that learned how to western handguns as a second weapon.
    alot of this game is based on history, but not how the whole story plays out.
