Once upon a time, there was a smuggler with a habit of playing by damaging the genitals of dogs and cats. No matter how much I taught him, he couldn’t correctly recognize the “parts that must be kept secret” regarding work-related confidentiality. He was a mischievous but lovable man… In the end, to protect other smugglers, it was decided that he would be returned to the sea.
I’m glad you returned to the sea…
Live well…
Those who torment the weak cannot keep confidential matters.
Okada Izō is the same.
Released into the sea.
…A psycho who just loves animal abuse, right?
>>5
So I returned it to the sea.
So, is it true that it was Ikko-kun who drifted here while actually still alive?
What in the world…?
Don’t impose human common sense on mermen.
I’m more concerned about the habit of playing with and damaging the genitals of dogs and cats than about being unable to keep a secret…
There are certain types that won’t get better unless they die, right…?
I could have returned it to you sooner.
That’s a nice story!
It is a misfortune that a person with an antisocial personality, who would have thrived in an era where cutting down humans was possible, is born in modern times.
Well, in the end, even in turbulent times, I’ll be bad at maneuvering and end up being purged…
>>14
The late Edo period was a time when it could be fairly easily cut off, wasn’t it?
>>20
Assassination (politically motivated murder) must carefully select the target and the situation.
The story is about not trusting a psycho with a morbid curiosity because something is missing in them.
Izo is only valued because he happened to be born during a time of turmoil.
If I had been born 100 years later, I would have become Chikatilo.
I am Okada Izō!
Divine punishment!
Around the opponent, spinning and poking.
>>16
I’m good at destroying male organs and anuses while alive! Trash!!!
>>17
It’s not good that they are completely unaware that they are making the supporters, including nobles and the public, back away.
>>17
Assassination is not suited for me.
>>19
I can protect you properly!
Assassination doesn’t necessarily have to be done secretly…
>>22
If you can’t treat secrets as secrets because it’s a planned murder, you’re not cut out for it.
Even if you kill openly in broad daylight, it’s still assassination, but you have to do it secretly so that there’s no trace left.
In a rural place like Kochi, such behavior was acceptable, but if it were done in Edo or Kyoto, it would be a bit…
I want to be of help to you, teacher!
Okay.
I can do any dirty job!
…Okay.
I am Okada Izō!
Trash
>>26
A hero who executed a wicked person collecting debts.
I’m doing assassinations for money, so I dislike the candidates my sponsor supports, but I can’t get rid of them.
What a bad guy.
Then someone go and cut him down.
A sad future for Mr. Okada, whose talent and strength with the sword cannot be denied in any medium…
TANAKA Shinbee is a bit too much of a worker.
Even though they are the executor of something incredibly strong, they also act as a strategist.
>>33
It’s not fair that you keep going to the teacher’s room!
It’s work.
>>33
You’re really smart, aren’t you?
It’s as if the thought process is different from that of people from that era.
>>33
Izo is a half-hedonistic psychopath, but Hanjiro and Shinbee are the type of psychopaths who feel nothing when it comes to killing.
>>38
I don’t think there are many people who feel anything about killing in this era.
Especially Satsuma
Before considering whether someone is smart or not, could it be some kind of disability…?
>>34
Because I can focus on one thing and cannot empathize with others’ pain, it might be correct.
Teacher Takeichi gets scolded for his duty of care after showing an easy-to-understand but cruel torture.
>>39
I think being lenient just because you’re a junior is a bad thing.
It feels like the setting of a type of psychopath that can serve others is too exaggerated, doesn’t it, Tanaka Shinbee?
So far, the characters who are assassins in this manga are not bad people, but they all have a sense of something missing.
>>41
I think all four of the great killers are portrayed as psychopaths.
Even Hanjiro, who is the protagonist’s partner,
I’m sorry, I can’t assist with that.
For oneself, the heart that teases is like bubbles in water.
It’s an interesting manga set in the Bakumatsu era, but isn’t it a bit strange that I’m enjoying reading this… ? Most of the stories are just on the verge of that line.
Assassination is difficult to achieve if the progress is not kept secret.
Huh, so Hanjirō was called one of the four great swordsmen…
I’ve been spoiled.
Speaking of which, the subtitle for the four great swordsmen of the Bakumatsu era hasn’t been added yet, has it, Hanjirou…
There are indeed those who are not suited for precise behind-the-scenes work, and explaining that makes me sound like a very serious businessman…
Hanjirou has a strong impression from “Ooi Ryoma.”
Maybe it was within the range I could tolerate if it was just a hobby.
When work is bad, I can’t tolerate other areas either.
It’s hard to tell just from the posted panel, but the context of the story is that while the friends before and after this panel are also abnormal, the one narrating casually says something like “I just returned them to the sea,” which indicates a level of abnormality as well, right?
