Is it okay to bloom at the end?

It bore fruit, burst open, and scattered its seeds, but…

There’s no helping it since I did it.

Go mad.

It’s amazing to be evaluated by the work of your students more than your own achievements.

It’s like a manga story, where someone learns English while being scammed for tuition fees by a trading company in this era and being put into a slave contract at their homestay, eventually returning and becoming the Governor of the Bank of Japan.

Strange guys are coming out one after another in various ways.

During chaotic times, it’s interesting how talents that may have been hidden in normal times tend to emerge.

Many strange people have appeared.
Many strange events have been happening.
It will end with a soft landing.

There are people who do reckless things even as individuals.
The astute feudal lords sent their talented individuals abroad on their own.
Isn’t it completely ignoring the rule that His Majesty decided against direct transactions with overseas?

I wonder if the last person’s students could have found a more peaceful way.

Did even their remarkable diplomatic sense not allow them to avoid the unequal treaties?

A huge number of incidents and deaths are happening, but somehow everything settles nicely during the Bakumatsu period.

…It’s “sensei” Matsushin.

People with a poor sense of diplomacy meet a sad end.
A person with sharp business acumen meets a tragic end.
The last person also meets a sorrowful end, of course.

So

The unequal treaty was concluded quite easily, after all…
It’ll take about 50 years to get out of there.

I remember there were people recreating a reverberatory furnace using only rough sketches and notes.

The person in the middle was the first to criticize the shogunate harshly and became the first execution in the Ansei Purge.
Both those above and below were affected by the Ansei Purge.

Teacher!!

Since the Meiji era began, there have been remarkable administrative reforms happening, and I wonder how well the people of that time managed to keep up…

At that time, Japan probably didn’t have the ability to judge foreigners using Western-style justice.
I’m scared that they might casually execute someone and use that as a reason to start a war.

When the black ships arrived, amazing people from outside began to appear one after another, didn’t they?

Why are you trying to sneak aboard so casually, Shōin?

In this manga, Yoshida Shoin is depicted as a seriously crazy guy…

I don’t know if it will be featured in DanDawn, but I made the second pure domestic steamship.
Why are there people like Maehara Kouzan!?

Given Japan’s national strength at the time, it’s impressive that they managed to avoid being exploited and having their territory divided.
It may be inequitable, but we don’t even have a relationship that could form an equal treaty in the first place.

Everyone started acting selfishly, and it almost turned chaotic.
Those who acted selfishly in a skillful manner were eliminated, and as long as the outcome was good, everything was considered good.

Seppuku isn’t something to be taken lightly; you need to take responsibility. If you take responsibility, then the other clan members won’t hold it against you. It’s a matter of setting things right, so it’s important.
If you don’t allow that, it will result in beheading.

I wonder if this exquisite location, which is adjacent but not directly connected to Eurasia, has the greatest influence.

It seems that there is a depiction of Matsushin-sensei crying out loud for the time being, but I wonder if that is recorded somewhere.

I heard that signing a friendship treaty with America quickly was an incredible move that prevented other countries from carelessly taking advantage of it.

Is there any approach other than the madman approach?
Would educational manga work?

Mr. Iwase was punished during the Ansei Great Persecution.
I fell ill and died.

If it were a stable and peaceful world.
Let’s learn together on equal footing with the students!
Even though he was a kind teacher, this is the world we live in, damn it!

Shōin was an incredible person.

Yoshida-sensei has a vividness that is rarely seen even among fictional characters.

How does it go from such a nice development to something like the early Showa era and the Pacific War?

I kind of knew about Yoshida Shōin, but when I actually looked him up, isn’t this person a bit too outrageous?

They died in the blink of an eye, which is a bit scary, but it feels like it ended with an amazing person.

I don’t understand why this feels like a soft landing…

I think Shouin has the qualities to be the final boss.

The Meiji government just blamed everything on Edo.
People have been working hard since the Edo period…

Also, America negotiated first, so it became relatively reasonable.
America is relatively punctual in that regard.

What happens if you continue a civil war indefinitely? It seems they were observing this even while being closed off from the world.

If we keep fighting domestically, it will be bad, right?
It’s tough, isn’t it? We won’t be able to compete against foreign countries.
Well then, shall we surrender without bloodshed?

Kumohama is dead in prison…

It’s like an era straight out of a movie.

The shogunate realized they were in check and managed to settle down without stopping the radical factions that had gone too far.

Mr. Shōin will also serve as a foreshadowing for the wars that come much later.

In fact, the issue was just a disagreement over timing and means; all factions had opening the country as a premise.
The only one who likely thought that the national isolation could continue was Ten-chan, who was kept in the dark due to information being sealed off.

It seems that the route where the Edo shogunate does not collapse is likely to fail in various ways, but I wonder what would have happened if the Tokugawa family had participated in the Meiji government.

Yoshida Shoin produced a lot of terrorists, but he himself didn’t really commit such bloody crimes.

Actually, the story that the Edo Shogunate was in isolation is not true at all, and there’s a theory that it was a term created by the Meiji government to take credit for it.

I tried to participate in the assassination plan, you know, Sensei Shouin.

There are circumstances where the UK did something wicked to China, and the US, wanting to criticize the UK, was kind to Japan.

I don’t really understand the late Edo period, but I think the Shinsengumi is cool.
Katsu Kaishu is a figure that generally comes up in discussions about the late Edo period.

If we inevitably enter the ranks of great powers, a conflict will eventually be our fate.

I want to earn money as easily as breathing.

I thought it was a butt manga, but it’s not.

I have the impression that the gears started to go awry around World War I.

At the point of committing murder, you are not a great person.

Well, the UK has also been quite indulgent towards Japan for a long time.

Since it’s already bloomed… well… you know…

I feel like it was good that the Netherlands was overly kind to Japan.

It feels like the disciples who became founding figures really have elevated my teacher by saying, “Our teacher was amazing.”

Because I poorly focused on education and governance, it has explosive power.

It wasn’t good that we internally won the Russo-Japanese War…

Keisuke Otori, who was the army commissioner of the Ezo government, said he spent his time teaching ABCs to prisoners in jail after being captured by government forces.
It seems that many people from the Bakumatsu period opened schools in prison…

To be honest, there’s no benefit in the Russia war.
What do you gain by taking down those useless people in that damn cold land!? It’s just a damn cold land!
I don’t want to deal with you!

I think it’s amazing that Germany keeps challenging Russia for religious reasons and loses every time.

When I watch the outrageous diplomats that appear in the dark age of anonymity, I can’t help but think that Perry and Harris might actually be super lucky people…

The problem with Russia is that it is a land where Russia cannot survive unless it becomes a rabid dog.
I can’t imagine asking for a port that doesn’t freeze.

Please remember to take home the understanding that great individuals are evaluated on a different axis than good and evil.

During the Spanish Civil War, I held a class on how to identify wild birds to pass the time in a ruin close to the front lines, and some people even came to watch while standing. I like the nobility of human beings in such emergency situations.

I think the most notable bug character from the late Edo period to the early Meiji period is Hirobumi Ito.

Abe Masahiro emerged because everyone worked together to overcome the national crisis, but as a result, the lifespan of the shogunate was shortened.
It was thanks to that that we weren’t treated as a colony.

It’s so sad that all this diplomacy that was carried out ended up in war due to a misunderstanding in English comprehension.

Because even Hirobumi Ito…
Most of the amazing people have died, and only ordinary folks like me have survived, that’s what I complain about.

The wise learn from history, while the foolish learn from experience.

I think people who can learn from experience are quite wise these days.
