The other three have gathered besides Kawai Hikozō, though.

I thought that Izō is always Izō in any manga.

Kawakami Hikozō makes a brief appearance.

>>2

The character is so vividly portrayed that there is hardly any room left for additional flavor, as far as can be understood from the literature…

>>8

For the time being, besides Izo, there are others who have fled or surrendered and are spilling their guts.

It was not only Izō that caused the collapse of the Tosa Kin’ō-tō.

Not quite to the extent of being like a wild child or a beggar…

It could be said that they are a lower class that can’t even be called a poor samurai.

I have a house that allows me to know and attend the same dojo as Takechi Hanpeita.

…the parts that are exaggerated… if you only look at the parts that are not exaggerated.

Because they would just be a mass murderer with a merely sadistic tendency and could not be represented in a manga…

It feels like this is what would happen if you gave a sword to Gian before he shed his spikes.

He’s a guy like Mii-chan.

>>5

Power type Mii-chan.

A type of person who could leave a name behind precisely because it was a tumultuous era.

Formation of the Man-Killing League!

>>9

Is there justice there?

>>26

Is it divine punishment?

I was quite wandering around, and there was a time when I was being taken care of by Katsu Kaishu.

Katsu Kaishu hated killing people, so why does he take care of everyone?

The sword was ridiculously strong.

On the contrary, it has become the perfect seasoning.

It should be a righteous killing, so it would be strange not to identify myself.

It’s better not to introduce myself since it’s just the formalities.

A name is important… and for a samurai, it’s only natural to introduce oneself…

There are many records of what has been done, but there are few personal records.

When I’m about to be poisoned, my favorite food is noted to be steamed buns.

Izō has a memory of being called a sword that loses its elegance the more he slashes in some game.

Surely you’re riding on a horse or a boat.

I thought of this! Izo and Takechi have been Ryoma’s close friends since his childhood!

I think the person who seasoned it is amazing.

>>19

I wonder who seasoned that? Shiba?

>>23

Is it Tetsuya Takeda…?

>>19

Did we not go to defeat tengu with the three childhood friends and have a kendo showdown with Goto Sojiro and Itagaki Taisuke?!

>>19

I saw it in “Ooi Ryoma.”

If I had been born in the Sengoku period…

>>20

Although I was strong in sword fighting with blades,

If you ride a horse and recklessly charge in solo, it might end up with you getting turned into a hedgehog by an arrow…

However, when it comes to Izo-san, it feels like he wouldn’t have become this famous outside of this era.

>>21

There are many people besides Izo-san who could only become famous in a chaotic world…

Skilled (or capable) with one’s arms.

Loose lips.

>>22

How’s the head?

>>37

I cannot cut down a fool.

Good at Tosa dialect.

The author is really putting in the effort to research.

When I look at such a cute Izō-kun

I enjoy the pleasure of suffering from torture.

>>25

Gave up with 2 stones.

It’s strange how they’re still being treated as if they were guarding me even after death, and the bizarre popularity is incredible.

Since the time of Izou, the interest in Izou’s original charm has become widely known.

From now on, I will be tortured a lot and will probably spill a lot of information.

Before being tortured a lot, did you tap quickly and say everything? Well, it wouldn’t be strange if you were tortured additionally.

Every work has the same personality!

No matter how poorly it is written about in any book, it is a fact that the creature remains strong.

It’s pretty calm, like FGO.

>>38

It has become strange to see someone who is not a Berserker in FGO.

>>40

I was surprised by that because I don’t play FGO.

An assassin, huh… That’s certainly true…

>>38

Recently I’ve been quiet, but when it comes to experience points, I’m just a real jerk like Izo Okada.

What is it that a mad dog is so good at guarding?

There is a record that appropriate instructions were given to the person being protected.

If I had just kept being Katsu Kaishu’s bodyguard, I might have died differently…

>>45

Well… either way, I’ll probably die young…

Is it a creation that Professor Takechi got so furious that he was about to be erased and spilled everything?

Once his name started to become known, Okada Izō began to grow arrogant.

In his pure and innocent days, Dandōn no Izo.

Even if I’m continuing my bodyguard work, if the bodyguard says something like “Want to grab a drink?” I’ll probably drink right away.

It can only be said that it was unfortunate to be born with a lack of intellect and extraordinary sword skills in an era that glorified killing more and more.

I love the story of John Manjiro’s bodyguard.

I really like how weak Okada Izō’s torture is.

Also, she’s so cute that she could be mistaken for a girl, so I hope she appears more often.

It’s a good interpretation that I messed up because I naively believed in the facade of divine punishment since I’m an idiot.

In other cases, they tend to be portrayed with a bad character due to their strong desire for honor.

Isn’t it Izō-san who has such a beautiful death poem?

Okada Izō seems to have been convenient to use as a killing machine because he was not very bright.

Among the people who kill, Kawakami Hikozō was hated a lot for changing his political stance and enriching himself, as he would cut down anyone—friend or foe—at that moment.

Izo-san, even though you’re like this, your handwriting is beautiful.

The entertainment in this area during the late Edo period is so excessive it’s shocking.

Is this non-fiction?

I always took “tenchū” to mean something like “a punishment on behalf of heaven!”

I was thinking that the heavens were calling for the old regime to be overthrown like during the Yin and Zhou revolution, and acted justly…

The theory that Okada Izō and Sakamoto Ryōma were childhood friends is based on the flimsy reasoning that since Takechi and Ryōma were relatives, there might have been some interaction with Izō, who was Takechi’s student.

The problem of too many assassins in the Bakumatsu period.
