Hmm, I don’t think he’s a bad guy.

But there was enough reason not to lend weapons for the plots to assassinate the elders.

Was there a charm that even Mr. Perry found irresistible?

>>8

Mr. Perry said harsh things because of work, but he is actually a very kind person.

>>8

I think it was just difficult to handle…

I heard that when you call Yoshida Shoin while talking to the locals, they correct you by saying it’s Yoshida-sensei.

If we are too strict, we never know what kind of extreme actions the samurai might take…

Whichever side takes control of the domain’s governance, it will be a back-and-forth struggle.

Survive by not taking strict measures.

Lord’s Life Hack

Shōin, you see.

>>17

Ah, I guess I can’t hide it after all.

That’s right, I’m a feudal lord.

Aren’t they just causing trouble for everyone involved, regardless of the shogunate or America?

A remarkable charisma that leaves an impact even in today’s era.

Everyone around is just cleaning up after me…!

I couldn’t read “Matsushita Sorin” at first glance.

>>28

Matsushita Village!!!

Mr. Atsushi Kase did something terrible to such a wonderful and great person, didn’t he…

>>29

Tell Tsuboi Norio.

>>82

It’s not an exaggeration to say that I’ve already been forgiven since I went to Yamaguchi on the listener tour last year.

>>30

I’m a staunch supporter of the imperial restoration and expulsion of foreigners, but I’m strangely realistic in some areas.

Maybe foreigners themselves don’t have likes or dislikes, but are probably driven by a sense of mission that they have to learn or they will die.

Mr. Perry managed to settle things very peacefully… even though he came in with a yakuza-style diplomacy…

Sometimes there are schools like Shōin Juku, but I wonder if it’s okay to have that name?

>>33

There used to be a type of private school called Dozan-juku that used a part of an old folk house nearby…

If you think it’s necessary, you have no choice but to do it; this is the mindset of a true genius and madman.

If it’s the worst, I can just cut it.

It is right to shelter as much as you can within the range of your protection.

The ability to take action and influence those around must have been incredible.

Even though I married Matsushin’s sister.

There isn’t anyone who made both a geisha and a child, right?

Ladies and gentlemen, let your madness flourish!

>>38

Those who take things too seriously die young.

The ones who distanced themselves have succeeded.

It’s a terrible event for both those who say “A Japanese person has smuggled in!” and those who are told that…

Why do you act on your own whims without consulting others?

Or did you confide in Lord Koso secretly?

>>47

We need to quickly learn about foreign conditions and technologies and reflect them in our own country.

die

It’s not exactly wrong, you know…

It feels like I’ve skipped too many things, and my talent for teasing those around me is overflowing, making it all quite amazing.

Mouri-kun, you know…

There were quite a few people studying abroad from this era.

I wondered if I could make it too.

>>50

I don’t think there are any calculations like that.

It is quite an important time in terms of Japan-U.S. relations.

Since you’re on edge, just stay quiet, seriously.

Someone who seems to have been born solely to train terrorists.

I was found by an American while I was in a confinement cell after turning myself in.

I secretly returned it, but you turned yourself in!? I was completely taken aback.

>>54

I think that saying things you don’t have to say and making the situation bigger is just part of my nature, and it never changed until the end.

>>72

I have planned an assassination plot against the chief minister!!!

>>83

It’s because I’m provoking my disciple with “dan-doon”.

If they had survived, they would probably have carried out terrorism against the Meiji government, so it was correct for them to die there.

Perry seems to feel like he wants to bring them along, but right now it’s a bit complicated.

>>57

It’s good that the Edo Shogunate has motivation, but doing it now feels like saying “shut up and die, you idiot.”

I like the interpretation of Yoshida Shōin here: “Involving others and making it so that in the end, I can’t turn back once I die.”

The important people of Choshu seem to have family-oriented relationships with each other.

The one who made the most of that area in a highly negative way was Teacher Shoin.

>>59

Having too close a distance with my subordinates is also a concern…

It seems that I’m treated like a great teacher locally, but I’m half stepping into madness.

“I wonder if the goal was to block the samurai’s retreat by dying in the end.”

Given the current feeling, leaving the domain feels like international travel.

Riding on a foreign ship is like sneaking aboard an alien spacecraft.

I understand that they are an amazing person, but they are a little too decisive.

>>66

Because war is approaching, when I tried to gather officers from my subordinates, it was a time when both higher-ups and lower ranks made quick decisions, like fleeing and handing over the family leadership to their children.

He’s a crazy guy…

At 14, he is a super genius military advisor of the clan.

When I was 10 years old, a lecturer came to the domain, and the lord of the domain fell in love.

Are the people who say “sousei sousei” good people?

>>74

I knew that if I didn’t take action, I would be killed, so regardless of good or evil, I’m a wise person.

As a result, the samurai of the Choshu domain were left unchecked due to the synergy effect with Sensei Shoin.

Shiba Ryotaro wrote about this person’s childhood.

I was about the same age as Nogi Masanori and received education from Nogi Masanori’s father.

During class, I scratched my itchy cheek where a bug had landed, and suddenly got punched.

“What is it that you prioritize your own pleasure when you are now receiving teachings for the public good?”

I was scolded or something like that.

They were children around six or seven years old at that time.

Considering they were raised with such education, both Shōin and Kiten are surprisingly calm and kind to others.

Episodes from 1 to 100 have some really sharp features, it’s amazing.

“A rare person who perfectly fits the phrase ‘completely unrepentant and unabashed.'”

>>79

I think it’s bad, so please choose either seppuku or beheading as you like.

If the same thing happens next time, I will do the same thing!

A revolutionary switch that comes to push on its own.

There are even cases where people started blabbering about things not even mentioned during the Ansei Purge, leading to them having no choice but to face the death penalty…

>>81

I’ve been living on a tightrope, so it can’t be helped if I can only understand by talking.

The timing with the other person is just too bad.

The philosophy is “Studying and law are important, but those who don’t take action are worthless,” so I seriously prioritize taking action above all else.

>>85

After all, Neo-Confucianism is crap…

It seems like a highly educated follower of Aum Shinrikyo.

I feel the enthusiasm of wanting to draw everything I want since there won’t be any more chances to draw historical manga.

Teacher Shōin was arrested three times, but each time he surrendered himself.

>>94

Scary…

Mr. Yoshida…

The best route would be to complete my life as a passionate teacher in the countryside.

Maybe no matter how many times I loop, I’ll die somewhere before the Meiji Restoration.

>>96

If I had been born fifty years earlier, I might have lived in peace.

>>102

If I go slowly, it’ll be war, huh…

Death is the result.

A man that fits the phrase: number one in Japanese history.

Scattered the seeds of a coup terrorist.

I didn’t have something like that.

Pulling out the tongue or something.

>>101

Definitely annoying in writing.

>>104

Like a person who is obsessed with short-haired little girls and shoes.

>>104

Even though I was imprisoned during the Ansei Purge, thanks to my disciple’s bribery, communication in the prison was lively.

They say there are quite a few letters remaining.

I’m living with the mentality that as long as I don’t get caught, I’m safe, but if I do get caught, I’ll turn myself in…

>>107

In this person’s case, I think they turned themselves in because they actually don’t want it to be discovered (or rather, they want to pretend it didn’t happen).

>>107

Strictly speaking, coming forward and saying “I am the perpetrator” regarding an incident that has been exposed is considered turning oneself in.

A voluntary surrender is when one comes forward before being discovered, so it is a proper voluntary surrender.

>>105

The thought of whether it will be exposed or not never even crosses my mind.

I’m just doing the right thing.

Leader of the Bakumatsu Tekka-dan

>>106

There isn’t even a millisecond where it stops…

Matsushita Village School was under probation, huh…

The mastermind of the terrorists.

I saw the place where Yoshida Shoin opened his school, and it was really narrow; it made me realize that people really gathered there because they loved it.

There was a time when such criminals were treated as great figures…

I like the story of Shinagawa Yajiro covered in mud.

It’s scary how many people have gathered at the small cram school.

The only ones treating him like a great person are specific areas…

I wonder what would have happened if I really had crossed the sea.

If I could have gone to America, history might have changed.

Even if those around you get angry, admonish you, or are taken aback by your recklessness

In the end, it’s scary how this person can lead things to the flow they desire.

I’m often locked up, so we exchange a lot of letters.

I totally harshly criticized the student.

In another letter, they are praising a lot…

American Rinnin-san! Please let me study!!

Considering that this person has produced SSR talent from their disciples, they are top-notch as a negative example, right?

>>126

It’s not the other side.

Just being crazy makes you a great teacher.

It’s the same with Mr. Shōin, as well as Okubo Toshimichi and Takechi Hanpeita.

In the late Edo period, there were some people whose lives resembled that of mechanical devices that existed to successfully carry out a renewal rather than being truly human.

If the stowaway had been successful, it seems like history would have changed in every possible way, which is really troubling.

Well, there’s no doubt that this person is truly remarkable, but they’re really quite bothersome…

This person and Takasugi Shinsaku are generally treated as madmen in creations.

>>133

“Handling?”

Standing from the student’s perspective, draw out their motivation to learn from their interests and concerns, leading to deep thinking and practice.

As an educator, it was also terrible that they were an outstanding person with about five superlatives.

>>137

If we set aside their extreme aspects, they can be said to be almost the ideal teacher.

It’s too extreme.

I can somehow tell that they are naturally charming people.

And being the embodiment of action.

>>138

At first glance, it seems unfriendly and intimidating, just like in the image.

I believe it’s true that once you start talking, everyone quickly becomes fond of you and admires you.

It’s just justified because the results are there.

>>139

Indeed, the victors are the official forces.

Even though Shimazu Nariakira is now considered a model of wisdom, he was quite the outrageous person!

This person died before reaching 30.

An excessively intense life.

>>141

It is said that the famous painting of Shōin is also an imaginative illustration.

Well, I think he’s a pretty creepy old man.

I often think it’s impressive that they lived until they were killed.

Discard the naive idea that a criminal cannot also be a great person.

Ito Hirobumi is a terrorist who is a murderer.

I confessed things I didn’t need to say, and it literally became a matter of life and death.

The fact that this person’s philosophy is mixed with the nonsense and worthless thoughts of Yangmingism and boiled down by the madness of the Mito domain, resulting in Mito learning being the foundation of Meiji thought, is hopeless.

>>147

The ideology was so strong that by the Meiji period, all the talent in the Mito clan had died…

>>200

No one praises the Mito Tengu Party, and this is the inevitable outcome…

If I were born in modern times, would I have settled for being just a businessman?

>>148

For now, it seems like I will be traveling abroad a lot.

This Matsushita Village School is a place where social status is set aside, allowing everyone to learn from each other.

Therefore, instead of using phrases like “I, some, I, you,”

Start to use the new first-person terms “boku” and “kimi.”

>>149

Huh? You’re the inventor?

>>155

There are various theories.

Although it was for a noble cause, there are people who were inconvenienced or died because of me, and I truly regret that from the bottom of my heart.

That’s why I can’t stop now, and the idea of fleeing out of fear for my life is out of the question! It feels like I’m rushing headlong into death.

I understand you want to show off your knowledge, but this is the kind of manga that makes you want to say that!

It’s easy to call them terrorists or crazies from our current perspective, but…

Western powers trampled even the great power of China and pressured Japan to open up.

We can’t overlook that it was a critical situation with a steamship equipped with cannons approaching.

I don’t think it’s fair.

>>153

I completely agree with you.

Even considering such situations, actions that change the regime through violence are all terrorist acts.

That’s the way things are in today’s world.

>>153

Given that, I think the act of turning oneself in without being asked is that of a madman.

The only actions that can be defended by citing the critical situation at that time are assassination plans and coup attempts.

>>153

If you say that, then it’s more impressive that people like Oglish and Yoshikata were rapidly building training grounds and military ships on the shogunate side, aiming for the modernization of the bakuhan system.

Before the war, they would be regarded as patriots.

>>157

The issue lies with the means; the fundamental principle of action is “Japan is in trouble! We need to study to do something about it!” So, even by modern values, one can be considered a patriot.

There is a problem with the means.

>>189

I just wanted to say that the word “revolutionary” was simply deleted due to censorship.

It’s so sad that he’s treated like a madman in every historical manga…

I was thinking that, and then the historical facts were something else entirely.

I think most people shared the common belief that we had to adopt Western technology.

So, well, as I was rambling about how to moderately reduce the confusion…

If you think it’s necessary, just go ahead and do it! Someone who rushed off.

The law is not a system designed to account for those who knowingly break it and come forward to confess.

There are a lot of events that would normally result in the death penalty, but…

The combination of charisma, education, and incredible action power looks the worst.

No matter where I go, I’m quickly admired and everyone calls me “teacher,” which is really amazing.

In a letter from prison, it says that there is no choice but to assassinate the chief minister.

Even Takasugi Shinsaku is saying, “Well, teacher, that’s a bit…”

Dying at 30 and having this charisma is insane.

Is it true that Yamaguchi is still revered even now?

>>172

It’s true, or rather, it’s because the shrine is built that it has become a god.

If Mr. Ue came to be like this, that drama would have been interesting.

The modern interpretation of being elevated as an educator is so reasonable that it can be said he is a person of great character as a teacher.

Well, it’s better if the elder dies! Specifically, planning how to kill him like this is…

It’s definitely true that, from a modern perspective, it’s only seen as a bad thing—an outrageous person.

>>177

It’s really dangerous there, but revealing the plan yourself is something beyond just being dangerous…

After Shōin, who embodied the ideal way of living, died, various events led to a decline in the power of Chōshū.

The genius village doctor who served as the head of the Tekijuku will appear gracefully and advance the overthrow of the shogunate in a practical way, so you can rest assured.

>>179

You can basically understand everything just by reading books, without having to go to the West, right?

>>194

It’s amazing that despite being so great, there’s not a single supporter.

Ended on its own and died just like that…

What did you do to be trusted to such an extent that you are defended like that?

If anything, you’re revered by modern politicians as well, teacher.

That shrine is a World Heritage site, you know?

The number one great person I want to meet but also don’t want to meet.

>>184

People without names are definitely influenced, aren’t they…

The roads in Yamaguchi Prefecture are incredibly clean thanks to this guy.

I respect Coach Kuriyama as well.

When it comes to the Restoration, it sounds nice, but it’s just a coup initiated among the samurai clan, starting nepotistic politics.

>>187

If they didn’t change things that much, they would have been worst off and colonized, so it can’t be helped.

The bill for this was paid grandly during the Pacific War.

It was good to study various things and stand on the podium, but it’s only natural that the flow towards the death penalty arises after launching an assassination plan, so I will keep refraining this over and over again.

Maybe if we meet and talk a little, I’ll be enchanted right away…

>>190

Scary…

It seems that the person whose reply was deleted did a loop and posted an anonymous ID in the thread…

Selflessness that relentlessly pushes forward towards an ideal.

Well, it’s just undeniably beautiful, isn’t it?

Like Masanao Tanaka…

If I were born now, I would be a great conspiracy theorist.

It was an era filled with prejudice and discrimination, yet Perry is really kind…

Because even in this era, the influence is too high.

I think if there were social media, it would have really overthrown the government.

If I had gone to America, I might have become a great person over there.

Ooishi Heihachiro!

Yoshida Shōin!

The achievements of the Meiji founders are mostly those that were usurped from the Tokugawa retainers, led by figures like Ōguri Tadazumi and Yokoi Shōnan, who had laid the groundwork.
