Yes! I hated Sannan so much because of that... In that route what I did like was Senhime and Kazama's interaction (although I enjoy Kazama's lines when he talks to Chizuru the relationship between Senhime and Kazama is so hilarious).

Harada is my favorite one, don't understand why he isn't as popular as Saitou or Okita. Both in Hakuoki and in Hakuouki Reimeiroku he has the best routes in my opinion.



An interesting thing that I just found out: Senhime is definitely the descendant of Yase-hime from the upcoming game Toki no Kizuna: Sekigahara Kitan!

Spoiler for About Toki no Kizuna:

Plot of Toki no Kizuna

The era is Sengoku Period. It’s been a little over a year since the death of Toyotomi Hideyoshi and a time when the history of the people is moving greatly once more…. The Oni got swallowed by that wave and made their move too. Oni are clans that live in the shadows of history; the backstage of the world.

Among the ten clans, the heroine is the leader of the Suzumori clan. She is a guard for Yase-hime, the head of these ten clans. Anxious about the involvement into the fight of humans, Yase-hime decided to gather together the clan leaders who are scattered across the land, in order to tell them to break away from human contact. On the night the demons followed through with her orders, Yase-hime was attacked and fell into a deep sleep. The ten clan leaders started to search for the attacker, which means clearly coming into contact with humans. On one hand, Yukina has two missions to carry out—-“Search for a way to revive the sleeping hime” and “Stop the demons’ involvement in the human society.”

Shouldering a burden by herself, she departs her hometown.

Connections between Hakuoki and Toki no Kizuna
- One of the villains is called Nagumo Shuu, Nagumo is the clan which adopted Chizuru's twin

- Kazama addressed Senhime as "Yase no Hime" in-game (also mentioned in official settings). In anime Sekkaroku episode 3, around 08:50, Kazama called her "Yase no furuki onna oni", literally "ancient female Oni of Yase".
The background of Toki no Kizuna is Battle of Sekigahara, which took place 264 years before Hakuoki. Therefore Yase-hime could be Senhime's grandma or great-grandma.

- From page 72, Hakuoki Tsuisouroku, Official Settings:

For someone born in one of Oni's direct descendant families, he/she is given a name with "千" in it as a proof.
Although the word seemed to hint long-living and immortal, that's not how it is. Ancient Oni with blood pure and strong could live up to 150 to 200 years. But nowadays, after blending with human blood, their life span isn't too different from human's.

Hakuoki: Senhime (千姫), Chizuru (千鶴), and Chikage (千景). Kaoru's (薫) "sen" is hidden inside the kanji.
Toki no Kizuna: Chitose (千歳), Kazuya (千耶), Kazutake (千岳), Kazuha (千羽), Senkimaru (千鬼丸), and Yachiyo (八千代) are shown.
Shin (秦), Shiomi Akito (秋士), Kotoura Touma (透真), Tsukishima Isao (勲朗), and Nagumo Shuu (秀) are hidden
