I like Reimeiroku more than the original story-wise. There are more fights and assassinations (there's lots of blood)
My wish is that they don't follow
YamazakiHijikata's route ending (Harada ending please)
And to the end this post, let's meet Ryunosuke!
Spoiler for An interview with Ryu:
-Your age?
16
-Your position now?
I'm working at Serizawa-san's place. Not a member of Rōshigumi, but more like a servant.
-What do you do every day?
Do the chores Serizawa-san forced me to, practice swords with the Rōshigumi members... and troublesome stuff like that. Although I hate it, if Serizawa-san isn't going to let me go, there's nothing I can do about it.
-What's troubling you lately?
A lot. Getting beat up by Okita because "it's sword practice", getting beat up by Harada because "the way you talk is annoying", getting beat up by Serizawa-san's iron fan for whatever reason, and taking Niimi-san's sarcasm.
-What do you think of Serizawa Kamo?
I wish he'd stop calling me a dog, making me overwork, and beating me up with his iron fan when he's in a bad mood. He calls himself a "compassionate owner". Where's the compassionate part?
-What do you think of Hijikata Toshizou?
He is sharp, and rarely shows his emotion. Except towards Serizawa-san, he shows obvious hostility. Was there something between them?
-What do you think of Okita Souji?
In short, I don't like him. I wish he could stop beating me up in sword practice.
-What do you think of Saitou Hajime?
He's quiet and gloomy. I don't get him, since he doesn't talk much.
-What do you think of Toudou Heisuke?
He's the easiest to communicate with among Rōshigumi. Good common sense, compared to the others.
-What do you think of Harada Sanosuke?
Although he's not a bad fellow, I wish he'd try to communicate before using his fist. He's a dandy man, and very popular with girls. ... Err, I'm not jealous. Not a bit.
-What do you think of Kondou Isami?
He has a dōjō in Edo, but I think swinging a hoe in fields suits him better. He seems to be deeply admired by everyone, except for Serizawa-san and his gang.
-What do you think of Sannan Heisuke?
He's knowledgable. And gentle... at first sight. Talking to him gives me a chill up the spine.
-What do you think of Nagakura Shinpachi?
He's totally attached to fencing. It's the first time I see a typical samurai without a top knot. I wish he'd stop making me drink sake with him.
-What do you think of Niimi Nishiki?
Serizawa's ass-licker. I hate this kind of person physiologically.
-What do you think of Hirama Juusuke?
He's getting slaved around and beaten up by Serizawa-san even worse than what I got. It seems his family served Serizawa-san's family for generations. Poor guy.
-What do you think of Kosuzu?
For a girl with such sweet face, she dares to say her opinion in front of Serizawa-san. Talk about brave.
-What do you want most right now?
To have nothing to do with Serizawa-san and get out of here!
