[DanDon] What is this… scary…

Chapter 65: Love Sprouts from Deep-Seated Beliefs
Date: Summer 1862
Satsuma and Satcho
Due to the pressure from Shimazu Hisamitsu’s military actions in moving to the capital, the shogunate implemented various reforms in governance. In particular, those who had been condemned during the Ansei Purge were finally restored to honor, but those responsible for carrying out the purge, such as Ii Naosuke and the higher officials, were all punished. This truly turned the notions of justice and evil in this country upside down.
Hōsanzu

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx28

Satsuma is famous for being insidious.

Fearless! The strongest! But not as strong as it’s said, and rather malicious and persistent.

76: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>1

Satsuma is very busy with the Namamugi Incident at this time, but what are you talking about?

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

Isn’t Satsuma treated as something trivial, though?

3: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

It’s not uncommon for justice and evil to be flipped depending on the political situation at the time.

4: Japan Otaku Reviews

For example?

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>4

Trump administration

31: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

>>30

I thought that an idiot would say that, and when I wrote it, it turned out to be true.

53: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx15

>>31

It’s shameful to come in afterward.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

It became fashionable among samurai to always step on sandals with “Satsuma” written on the soles.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oda → Toyotomi → Tokugawa changed frequently.

7: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is that really the achievement of Satsuma?

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>7

Achievement of threatening with 200 people

13: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx12

>>7

The achievements of Shimazu Nariakira (Hisaakira’s older brother) are the foundation.

A famous ruler who has influence in both the imperial court and the cabinet.

Emperor Komei loved Satsuma thanks to his brother.

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>13

The fact that Emperor Meiji liked Saigo so much is probably due to this influence.

8: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx9

Due to this, the Hikone domain, which was pro-shogunate,

After reversing the anti-stance, I will become part of the overthrow faction from this point onward.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

Has politics, religion, and ethnicity become justice on the bulletin board?

Scary~

11: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Edo Shogunate is also flipping its stance constantly regarding the verdict on the Chūshingura incident.

14: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>11

Did you return it?

16: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>14

At first, “Asano is at fault.”

“After the raid, ‘I’m sorry, if we redo the trial, it would be because Kira engaged in corruption.'”

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>16

The fact that my son’s adoptive family was caught in the crossfire during the raid is unacceptable for a samurai, as he could not act in response to his biological father’s crisis.

I haven’t turned my palm over.

17: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>14

The Ako Domain, with an intensity akin to madness, issued a ruling that defended the Kira family, but under public pressure, they did not recognize Kira’s son’s succession, and the Kira family was subsequently destroyed.

33: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

Isn’t it just the kind of attitude where they think, “Since it’s just right, let’s also abolish the Kira family!”?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

Is it okay to add the character for “achievement” to that?

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>15

If this hadn’t existed, there would be no present-day Japan, so it’s a merit.

20: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

No, the judgment in the slicing incident did not include the allegations against Asano, so it’s a clear reversal and a verdict that succumbs to public opinion.

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s sad that they have to take responsibility after fighting and getting cut, only to pass away young…

22: Japan Otaku Reviews

Am I being punished even though I’m dead?

23: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>22

It’s obvious; it’s a feudal society.

The Kira family is to be dissolved.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

At that time, bribery was common, and from Asano’s perspective, it was just a small amount.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

A person’s life and death have nothing to do with honor!

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

The samurai cannot eat without honor.

28: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx11

The Ii family said, “We’re in the Asano position, and Mito is like the modern Kira…”

Mito family: “We are in the Asano position, and Ii is the modern-day Kira, right?”

32: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx7

>>28

In the late Edo period, the samurai basically made themselves into a person like Oishi.

It’s inevitable because it’s the model of a samurai.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>28

I wonder if it’s just a victim mentality.

29: Japan Otaku Reviews

History is troublesome because it exists.

In that case, it’s better to be complete fiction from the beginning.

34: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was a common occurrence in Edo for the entourage to be swept away every time a shogun died.

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Mr. Tanuma’s family managed to survive as a formidable daimyo house until the Meiji Restoration.

37: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The Asano family was allowed to be restored as a senior hatamoto.

That’s great!

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

I wonder if only the university student who was involved in the raid incident was rewarded.

39: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, at that time, Ii Naosuke was really recklessly pushing things through…

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>39

It was more like it was running rampant, or rather, it was running rampant, right?

There are hardly any lords who mourn because of death.

41: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the portrayal of Ii Naosuke as a champion of justice is similar to that in Bakushinger.

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>41

The stormy children are indeed tyrants and dictators, and quite worthless.

If you want to maintain the dying feudal system, you have to do at least this much; otherwise, it’s impossible.

It was somewhat sympathetic with that kind of balance.

42: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

It’s true that Hisakubo is a minor figure compared to Prince Sadafumi.

It’s not as small as Segodon says.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>42

If it’s really a minor issue, then it hasn’t taken the initiative in the late Edo period…

43: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Ii Naosuke’s great rampage! That’s true, but…

What kind of shogunate looks past that and then turns around later? Don’t mess with me!

It seems that Tokugawa Yoshinobu was the only one who could foresee that happening, which is quite something…

48: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>43

That Yoshinobu later prioritized his own safety over the retainers, but it’s safe to say he foresaw Japan’s future.

44: Japan Otaku Reviews

I mean, even that Yoshinobu has no intention of controlling his subordinates at all, so it’s already over.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>44

It’s the subordinates who have no intention of doing so…

Keiki himself was motivated enough to almost rush in with a sword, saying he would kill that bastard.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

Bakushinger is getting too much of a trace from “Burning Sword,” and it feels like it’s becoming an anime adaptation of “Burning Sword.”

50: Japan Otaku Reviews

I can understand being a bit sympathetic if the outburst comes from the pressure on-site!

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

I think that Yoshinobu’s ability to navigate those tumultuous times and secure his own safety independently from his family is genuinely outstanding in terms of personal talent.

52: Japan Otaku Reviews

If Yoshinobu had seriously resisted, there was a high likelihood that it would have allowed for more foreign intervention…

Regardless of the intention, that action ultimately benefited Japan.

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

If someone in a position takes things seriously and tries to escape, they can go that far.

Like Emperor Go-Daigo.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

If it drags on, there would be people who would try to arbitrarily transfer the territory of the domain overseas like the Aizu domain…

56: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think it was a stroke of luck that the young silk farmer who came to assassinate me ended up becoming my subordinate and had incredible business talent, ensuring a comfortable retired life just from a small amount of stock I received, Lord Keiki.

57: Japan Otaku Reviews

Even on the bulletin board, the toxic uncle and the genuine hate have turned around and become popular…

58: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt sad at the last page of the thread.

Please stop with the spoilers!

59: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Terrorists who attacked government officials become heroes!

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

The order is reversed.

If you are a national executive, work properly.

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was a bit surprised to learn that Ii Naosuke is often portrayed negatively, making him the one who drew the worst lot.

62: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

No, Ii is making a wrong judgment that goes beyond normal authority.

81: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>62

But someone had to draw the short straw…!

63: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Because of this, the Mito clan is heading straight into a bloody internal conflict! What are you going to do about it?

69: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>63

It can be said that it is the very definition of a fool.

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

One downside is that when it comes to historical works, history enthusiasts who haven’t read the piece join the conversation, making it difficult to have discussions aligned with the manga’s portrayal of cats.

67: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>64

Hurry up!

A conversation that aligns with the depiction in the manga.

65: Japan Otaku Reviews

In those situations, I bring up topics about manga on my own.

If someone brings up a topic about the late Sengoku period that I know about in a history thread, I’m forcefully pushing it aside.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Looking back, this era is really running on a razor-thin balance…

It’s impressive that we managed to avoid breaking apart midway.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>66

Well, it could be said that the distortions created here ultimately led to an unconditional surrender…

68: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I think it’s become a bit harder to understand because the Mito domain, which was a main character in the early days, has weakened to the level of Piccolo.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

Since Tanaka Kawauke brought the banner of the Nishiki, I guess there’s no choice but to kill him to avoid making Satsuma the enemy… I love it when Imuta says that, don dōn.

71: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s the end of Cat Country. 🐱

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Satsuma promotes masculinity, yet is surprisingly sticky and gloomy, truly effeminate.

73: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>72

Those who try to appeal to masculinity are not truly manly.

74: Japan Otaku Reviews

I wonder if Iehara Naosuke is ever evaluated.

Personally, I think it would have been better to be buried in the Umeboke Shrine.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>74

I think the manga in the thread is quite biased towards Ii Naosuke.

78: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>77

I thought it might be a little unrealistic while reading it…

79: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

Thread image’s manga

80: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>74

The shogunate is not a monolith due to its bureaucratic system.

Someone has to do it…! That’s definitely true.

Whoa… The Ansei Purge was too much…

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

The worst is Mito.

This is confirmed.

93: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>75

Q: Where did all those people go?

A: They died or fled and are no longer here.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

It makes it feel like Ii's fault in the treaty conclusion is minimal. This manga has a storytelling style like that, so don't get too heated about it.

Episode 14: Chase the Sea Bream! With a Love Exploration Record

In the late Edo period, the Japan-U.S. Treaty of Friendship and Commerce was concluded. Harris: Sorry to keep you waiting. U.S. Ambassador Harris: Iwase! Japanese diplomat: Ikegami Bakushin, Iwase Tadataki. I’m glad, but is it okay? You’re an important person, so you won’t get angry, right? Me? I might lose my head if I’m not careful! Hahaha! I truly respect you, from the bottom of my heart, in your country, America. Let’s discuss the content of this treaty again at that time! I’m not coming down! Yo, finally permission from above has come down, huh! As a human being, right? I hope I can wait for the emperor’s permission as soon as possible. The old man isn’t Ii. It’s serious; if I keep being indecisive, I’ll have to engage in politics. But I was wondering when the path would unfold. If I didn’t think about that, would it just be a human assessment? That person was just here and understood everything. It’s just the way of good governance. Various countries’ ships have been brought in! Wow…

It makes it feel like Ii’s fault in the treaty conclusion is minimal.

This manga has a storytelling style like that, so don’t get too heated about it.

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Isn’t the Hikone domain angry about treating Ii Naosuke, who died in a terrorist attack, as a villain?

84: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>83

Because I got angry, I will defect from the shogunate and switch sides to the new government, starting the battle for the overthrow of the shogunate.

89: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

Let’s start a restoration movement among the people of Shiga as local heroes.

85: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Because you recklessly exercised judicial power.

It’s impossible not to be a villain.

86: Japan Otaku Reviews

Self-proclaimed patriots.

It will become a terrible era filled with such garbage.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>86

It’s all because of that guy called Mito Komon.

90: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>86

There are kids who make bold comments from the perspective of a later era, but it must be easy and feel good for them.

92: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>90

To put it clearly, I think the essence of history for those who are not scholars lies there.

88: Japan Otaku Reviews

Welcome to the mad world where you are praised for taking the head of a leader.

91: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

Lately, something…

Fingers and ears.

Often on the road

It’s fallen.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>91

Emperor Komei: “Tokugawa-kun!!!!!!! Please do something!!!!!!!”

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Speaking of which, when I went to Hikone Castle, there was also Umebiki-ya.

It felt like they were lifting it locally.

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

It's a terrible story, isn't it?

“Ii Naosuke, who took on the burden of being the one to ‘make treaties with other countries’ that someone had to do eventually, bearing all the hatred of the so-called warriors of the ‘behind-the-scenes nation,’ carried out the Great Disruption and will long be remembered only for his negative aspects as a wicked politician.”

It’s a terrible story, isn’t it?

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>95

That has nothing to do with the big prison.

98: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I’m suddenly surprised that Ukraine is being blamed for something.

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I really dislike the trend in the late Edo period that it’s okay to kill those you don’t like.

104: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

A country created by such people won’t amount to anything good in the world.

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>99

I can’t forgive you, Ii Naosuke.

100: Japan Otaku Reviews

It seems that the sense of responsibility got ahead of itself and went out of control.

As the shogunate’s chief elder, it is undeniable that I had to open the country and suppress anti-establishment factions.

101: Japan Otaku Reviews

The lineage of the evil Meiji government later became the Empire of Japan, where the former Lord Naosuke once…

A passionate historical drama of being destroyed by the hands of the newly opened America.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>101

What are you talking about? The lineage of the Meiji government continues very strongly.

By the hand of America

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

I haven’t been able to talk to the emperor at all.

106: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

In most stories, when Ii Naosuke dies, he has a face that seems to have been able to become a shield for the shogunate.

It’s your own grudge that you created.

108: Japan Otaku Reviews

But my heart is like Masanari Kusunoki…

109: Japan Otaku Reviews

A man who seriously started a hell by killing those who he didn’t like in the great prison.
