- Опубликовано: 16 июн 2024
- Shinsengumi… If you have ever heard of this name before, I’m pretty sure you’re a fan of Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X), Gintama, or Golden Kamuy. They are a historical group of men who fought through the time of turmoil of westernization, and are very famous and popular among the Japanese too.I would say it’s almost impossible to find a Japanese that doesn't know about them.
But who are they? Why are they so popular? And why are they called “the men who lived and died with Bushidō, the samurai code?”
So today, as a man living in Kyoto training in katanas, I will briefly explain about the history of Shinsengumi, and the three most important men of the squad. At the end of the video, I will talk about my opinions on why they are so popular among the Japanese, so I hope you can enjoy this video to the end.

Hajime saito on samurai x. Hahaahaha
@@jaysonbanluta1985 damn I wanted to say the same thing
Mayonaise demon
My fav is Hajime Saito❤❤
Yamazaki Sagaru 山崎 退!
The three main captains of Shinsengumi: gorilla, mayorin and sadist prince
Only prince sadist is captain both mayo and gorilla are vice and commander
All I know is the leader of the Shinsengumi is Hajime Saito. LoL
@@rachmatmulia5212 ZZaito in his gintama form
That is prince mayo to you
ANPAN ANPAN ANPAN ANPAN.......SPARKING!!!
YAMAZAKI!!!!
I've heard about the Shinsengumi and I was aware of their popularity but now that I know their story it's easy to understand why they're still famous. They were the underdogs, common men, talented, dreamers, caught in the middle of the machinations of two powerful political factions. Goddammit, this is heartbreaking.
Rurouni Kenshin was what drew me into Japanese history and I love that anime. The manga was better. The OVAs were great as well.
I was look for Saito Hajime, but still a good video.
Rurouni Kenshin's last OVA pissed me off so bad, what's with Kenshin getting an STD and all. Pisses me so bad I didn't complete reading the manga.
@@limitlesssky3050 Cancer.
Thank you, because of you I will be reading the manga :)
@@limitlesssky3050 ok that was kind of funny
I love Gintama and I could not stop smiling when you mentioned the name of the Shinsengumi members.
yes
I had an OHHHH I GET IT moment
"Though my body may decay on the island of Ezo, my spirit guards my lord in the East."
Hijikata Toshizo's death poem.
He died defending the short-lived Republic of Ezo (Hokkaido) but remained faithful to the Tokugawa shogunate to the end.
Saito Hajime is my favorite Shinsengumi from Rurouni Kenshin
He was real!!
he is the storm that is approaching
He also is one of the few that survived and lived a long life
I often think of the cultural "popularity" of the Shinsengumi as being akin to that of Cowboys. They were both ultimately short lived groups, but they managed to make themselves iconic for their feats.
Yeah, like the cowboys killing Native Americans and making Buffalo extinct.🙄
@@kuroneko7022 reality is often disappointing than fiction
@@kuroneko7022 The conflict between them and Native Americans wasn't really one sided, and they didn't make the bison go extinct. It became almost extinct, and now thrives due to conservation.
@@kuroneko7022 The Native Americans had already almost exterminated buffalo hundreds of years before the cowboys even showed up. They put a HUGE dent in their numbers through hunting.
@@kuroneko7022 if theyre extinct why am i able to drive an hr away to a beautiful, well maintained Buffalo farm and purchase meat?
The first time I met the Shinsegumi was in Fate Grand Order with Hijikata and Okita, It´s great to learn more about them
hmmmmm
S A L T
yeah the gender are accurate enough for me
OKITA-SAN DAISHOURI
Wait they were in Gintama not in fate
or?
@@georgyekimov4577 they weren't in the original fate stay night but appeared in the spinoff mobile game fate grand order
Got introduced to them through the Hakuoki game series and extended universe.
same! I love Hakuouki
Same here! gonna rewatch the series later. :)
Loved the moment when Kazama acknowledges Hijikata as a demon and named him. So beautiful!🥺😍
Same. Till this day i still say its my favorite anime. I have the series on my phone. I have rewatched it atleast 6 times
Same!
Shinsengumi is very popular among 刀剣乱舞 (Touken Ranbu) fans as well. Gotta love those swords!
bc most popular swords are owned by shinsengumi lol, like izuminokami that is owned by hijikata or kashuu & yasusada that are owned by okita
"They are a historical group of men."
Impossible. There's no way Fate would ever lie to me.
*Look at various forms of Arturia
How could fate do this to me
Fate is a joke. They keep turning everyone into waif. That is why I don't play the game.
@@miyako1909 Lol wtf? That’s every gacha game out of Japan these days. Fate is the least guilty of this. Yeah, they genderbend a lot of historical figures but if anything there is a pretty decent balance of waifu’s and husbandos comparatively.
Yeah, you don‘t see that though because 70% of the dudes are 1-3 Stars while the gals take most of the 4-5 star slots

Haha yes!
I am a fan of Hakuouki..
The anime is all about the story of Shinsengumi..
same! it's my favourite anime
i'll 2nd that!! season 3 - dawn of the shinsengumi is like my fav of all time!! it features the ikedaya storyline and training
Same, it was through my love of the character nagakura shinpachi that I started to get more curious about the Shinsengumi as a whole. And I love hearing about their history. Even if it only last 5 years.
Same! Still heartbroken about that anime. Soooo good
I played the games and cried so much. And cried even more watching the movies.
I'm a huge fan of the animation series "Hakuouki" which features the story of the Shinsengumi. Of course several elements of this anime are fictional, but I was very surprised to learn that all the characters were based on real people and that fueled my interest and research in their stories a few years ago. Thank you very much for one of the most concise and easy to understand explanations of the Shinsengumi! I particularly enjoyed and appreciated your presentation of the historical and political events in Japan which led to the formation of the Shinsengumi. Many thanks again to you for this informative, educational and fascinating video! Looking forward to more! 😀👍
Same feeling!
Same here dude! I personally didn’t care for the romantic elements but when you get into the making of and backstory of Hakuouki, it kinda blew me away how many historical Easter eggs they had in the series. The games more than the anime. Reimeiroku (JPN only) was actually the best game. Not about scoring a hot samurai, but staying alive.
There is an old Live Journal called Tokio Fujita that goes into tons of detail about the series and history.
This was really interesting! I actually learned about the shinsengumi thanks to dating simulators (otome games). It was nice to have some context about their cultural importance
Omg comrade. XD
Omg me too. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Otome players unite! XD (same with samurai or folklore related otome games :3 it's great searching more info outside the games)
yes lmao and also the "hakuouki shinsengumi kitan" anime
I learned about them from F/GO.
Though I first learned of the Shinsengumi through Rurouni Kenshin. I really learned their history through the otome game franchise Hakuouki.
You should make a 2nd part talking about the other members.
Ah yes, Rurouni Kenshin is such a very cool manga. I like it because the swordplay in it was actually based on real stuff that existed (Including that paralysis stuff that Udou Jin-e does, it's pure hypnotism)
@@KlavierMenn Rurouni Kenshin's setting and most of the chars are good, but the MC, Kenshin, is a complete fucktard suffering a case of MPD and with a Jesus syndrome. His characterization ruins an otherwise good Anime. Regardless, the hints about the Shinsengumi in this Anime are few, far in between and rarely in a really good light, thing that is exacerbated by Saito Hajime there being a complete psychopath.
@@Pdor_figlio_di_Kmer
What? Do you even read the Rurouni Kenshin manga, all 28 volumes?
@@Pdor_figlio_di_Kmer While I can't really enjoy Kenshin anymore (the creator being caught with CP really, REALLY soured my opinion of his works, particularly since he's still actively involved in and profiting from it), that's a really baseless criticism. I mean, we're all entitled to our opinions, so I won't say that you're "wrong" necessarily, but I fail to see where you're coming from in the slightest.
@@FlorenceFox What I wrote above is to be intended my opinion. I consider you all free to think otherwise. On the same ken, I still stand my personal point.
"Shinpachi, the glasses." 😭
I came from FGO but still like GIntama's interpretation better. But still, FGO's Okita-chan is pretty cute too
The ones in Gintama don't even have the same first names as the real historical figures. Peace maker Kurogane and Chiruran: Shinsengumi Requiem are better.
It makes me so happy to hear that Gintama is your favourite anime! And as a loyal fan of the show myself, I'm thankful that I got to learn so much about the history and inspirations behind these silly characters... Though I have to admit that it was hard to listen to these men's backstory without constantly thinking of how they would've looked in Gintama ><
And I gotta say, Kondo is a unique and refined choice! Most people (including myself) are swept away by Hijikata's and Okita's charm, but we need more Kondo appreciation!
Agree.
My english report was about Tokugawa era due to my love for Rurouni Kenshin’s tsuioku-hen. While doing my research (and watching the OVA about Kenshin’s past) made me love and respect the shinsengumi more.
I had to write a short story in my sophomore English class back in high school and I wrote a variant story from this anime (which is my favorite). I didn’t copy the anime but instead I based it off of a possible situation from history that Gensai Kawakami would have been involved in. I had the highest grade in the class but the teacher thought I misspelled the names so I was five points off of a perfect score.
Lol 😆 totally a fan of gintama! And yes I was nodding like crazy🤣🤣
I seen several adaptations of the Shinsengumi. Hakuouki, Rurouni kenshin, and NHK Shinsengumi 2004 drama. And some movies about them. Just a fan of of their history.
When the Last Sword is Drawn
-Kiichi Nakai/Koichi Sato
Shinsengumi: Assassins of Honor
-Toshiro Mifune
Baragaki: Unbroken Samurai
-Junichi Okada
One of my favorite manga is Kaze Hikaru by Taeko Watanabe and it's all about Shinsengumi. The people and incidents you talked about were familiar because of this manga. The author takes a lot of effort to include historical information while keeping the story entertaining with the main fictional character.
This video did help me understand the relationship between the imperial family and shogun much better. Thank you, Shogo!
Interesting
Yasss! Someone else who knows Kaze Hikaru!
I first heard about the Shinsengumi through anime, but the movie 'When the Last Sword is Drawn' is what solidified my personal interest in the organization as a whole. Saito Hajime was my favorite character in both instances.
SHOGOSENSEI I’VE WAITED SO LONG FOR YOU TO MAKE A VIDEO ABOUT THEM I LOVE GINTAMA SO MUCH!!!!!!!
The one who disliked this video must be fans of Kogoro Katsura and Shinsaku Takasugi.
Katsura ja nai, Zuramp da!
Katsura Kogoro janai, Katsura Kotarou da
Its not Zura
Its Katsura
@@adritz400 Katsura janai, Zurako da
@@izayagoat5520 katsura is too funny i cant XDDD
I'm a fan of Haijime Saito the 🐺 of Mibu....in fact he's my favourite character!...in Rorouni Kenshin!
Boshin Wars central focus of Rorouni Kenshin
It used to Okita, Young and tragic genius swordsman. Then finally it settled on Hijikata. The Demon Vice Commander who kept going despite fighting a losing war.
First time I saw them was Ghost Sweeper Mikami. But I didn't pay an interest till Rurouni Kenshin with Saitou Hajime and Okita's appearence. The Ikedaya incident that was animated in the OVA also grew my interest. Later on Peace Maker Kurogane did the same. Than I saw Shura no Toki, which showed Hijikata as more of a brawler compared to Okita. Than Hakuoki.
I actually visited the grave of Kondo in Tokyo, and also went to the Shinsengumi Museam in Hino. There is also some background history to it aswell. Like the fact that alot of the people in the area were descended from the Takeda clan. True or not is another story. Also one of Hijikata's swords is on display there.
Its also because there are in a sense an underdog. They are a group of Ronin, who found a place to belong no matter how short.
I wanted to cry when you mentioned Kondou Isami's death. It wasn't fair :(
The fist time when I heard about Shinsengumi was in Gintama, and lately in Rurōni Kenshin
And my favorite character in Gintama of the Shinsengumi is Hijikata -w-, he is such a Mayora
Great video as always. My first approach with the Shinsengumi was with the character Saito Hajime from Rurouni Kenshin and he inmediately became my favorite character from the show.
the Mibu Wolf :)
I wonder how the Shinsngumi would feel if they knew they would be revered like this today?
I would love if you talk about rurouni kenshin
I’ve been waiting for this! Thank youuuuu
Peace Maker Kurogane was also an interesting manga/anime based on the Shinsengumi.
Really enjoying your videos ✌️💕
So very underrated. Loved Peace Maker
Excellent presentation as always. Thank you for the upload!
woah i didn't know that there are more than meets the eye about shinsengumi... much appreciate it !!
Very interesting. Thank you for the education. Also i love the illustrations! Very cool 😎
I just did a search for Shinsengumi videos on your channel, I love the Shinsegumi Movie with Toshiro Mifune, When the Last Sword is Drawn, and even Sword of Doom. Shinsengumi The Wolfes of Mibu
Love those movies too!
this is very informative! I've always wondered what the stories behind the Shinsengumi, you have summarized it enough for me thanks!
Wow...what an amazing history. Great video again. Thanks Shogo.
Thank you for this amazing video Shogo! Always enjoy your content!
My first introduction to Shinsengumi was through Fate, and man I'm very confused 😂
Lol me too
For me it was through Gintama.
Love your lessons! Thanks and cheers from Canada
This was so interesting, I'm so obsessed with Japan and the history. So glad I found this channel 10/10
Just finished watching Shinsengumi (NHK’s Taiga drama in 2004) Have never cried so much tears. I first found out about Shinsengumi in Hakuoki, and became immensely interested in the Bakumatsu period thereafter. It’s hands down the best historical drama I’ve ever watched.
I found that serious in 2009 and it’s one of my absolute favorites.
Series
Me 8 year old: "Okita is very cool thooo"
Me now:"Okita is da best girl"
Nice one Shogo! Very Enlightening!
Wonderful story! I hope you provide more famous stories like this. Very inspiring!
Excellent condensed and clear explanation of this history ,which explained a lot of samurai verses shinsengumi
damn it, I can't erase gintama characters' faces..lol
Same 😆✊
Like I was imagining them just chasing the person their supposed to catch the beat them up part is just how Gintama usually beat people up by stepping and punching them 😂 I can't xDD
Great video! Very informative.
thanks a lot for this video! you have an special talent for explaining things!!
Thank you so much, this video was super informative. My favorite Shinsengumi character from Gintama is Toshi.
This is what I waiting for . Thanks you Shogo
Now, I understand why I was encouraged to watch The Last Emperor before leaving Germany for good😎
Thanks for the video bro
As an American katana enthusiast, I very much enjoy your videos. Learn so much from them.
Very good! Thank you. I appreciate the history lessons. I love Japan and the people. I lived there three years.
Glad I found this channel. 😀
I first learned of Shinsengumi through a manga titled Kaze Hikaru. And because of that I got more interested in Japan's history.
Your content is goold!!!! I am so glad I stumbled upon your channel
Yes, me and my daughter love Gintama. Thanks!
I came here after watching Hakuouhi. I've watched Rurouni Kenshin too. I subscribed to your channel to learn more about this subject. Thanks!
I find that I gain greater appreciation for fictionalized individuals/groups once I better understand the actual histories of such individual groups. Ever since I was introduced to the Shinsengumi as a sort of trope in Japanese anime/manga, I've been seeking to find out more about them. I'm also developing an interest in Japanese poetry, and will probably be consulting this video again in the near future. Excellent and informative! Thank you!
Okita Souji, i love his name
I really like these videos, how well structures they are and the topics are well explained.
I am very glad you say so😊
Your goal statement of 100k subscribers by next January caught my attention. That being said a million by 2023 is possible. Good luck with that, and thank you for everything you share.
Super interesting! I had never watched those animes, so this was my first time learning about them. I especially enjoyed learning about the meaning of the colour, pattern and kanji on their clothes.
"When the Last Sword Is Drawn " is a brilliant movie about the Shinsengumi. If you have not had a chance to see it do so. I you know of any others please let me know. I enjoy your channel and the frank open way which you discuss things. Keep up the the good work. we watching!!!
I like how you explained the history clearly , hopefully you hit 100k subscribers soon
Great video!
My favorite Shinsengumi anime is Hakuouki ❤️ But thanks for the video, it was awesome, very informative 👍
This was such a great video. Arigatou gozaimasu! I love how you don't shy away from pronouncing Japanese names in proper Nihon-go. Keep it up!
I'm just now understanding gintama refferences. Thank you.
Listening to your story about the u s a conquest, “You speak as the last Samurai of The Shogunate”…. You live the story you speak🌹 I have listened with great pleasure, you are a great story teller💯
Thanks for another interesting chapter of Japanese history.
This is great info! In a current project I have a faction inspired by the Shinsengumi. Having more historically accurate info will help me flesh them out.
KENSHIN HIMURA THE BATOSAI!! Hope I spelled all that right but, that's the show which got me into anime. I love that you mentioned it. Awesome content my man!
A beautiful saga beautifully told ! Thank you from Rio de Janeiro/Brasil !
You're a very good story teller. I enjoyed watching. As fish is to water, RUclips is your platform. I'm a new subscriber. Thanks.
Excellent vid. I first learned of them in the Anime Samurai X (about Kenshin). Great to learn more about the reality & their time period. Cheers!
thanks for telling me about shinsengumi,
i learned alot:)
Nice timing, I just started watching Golden Kamuy this past weekend.
Hajime Saito is not only one of my favorite anime characters but, one of my favorite historical figures. I first saw him in Rurouni Kenshin but, didn’t learn he was an actual historical figure until about a decade later. After researching his life my respect for him not only grew but, I was also amazed at the interesting life he lead. Great video!
This video is great! Thank u so much for explane the history of Shinsengumi. I know them because of Rurouni Kenshin but ended loved them for Hakuoki. I travel to Japan twice and i talked to a girl who was in love with Okita haha it was so awesome!!! I went to Shinsengumi Museum in kyoto it was a dream come true!
Oh and my favorite is Hijikata Toshizo!
Please do more videos on samurai history, great video!
i love all samurai. thank u for this video!
Damn. Did This show up in my feed because I watched the trailers for the new Ruroni Kenshin movies like 6 times?😆
Anyway awesome video as always!
Thanks for the great video. I visited Kyoto few years ago and had the chance to visit the temple where the Shinsengumi were buried. Also, the Ikedaya Incident place. I really felt like going back in Japan history.
Its great to see youre over 100k subscribers and its been barely 5 months!
My favorite Shinsengumi media is actually the otome game Hakuoki, but I'm also partial to the NHK drama Shinsengumi! I'm looking forward to being able to see the new Moeyo Ken.
I'm sure it's apparent who my favorite member of the Shinsengumi is just based upon my icon, and I hope that writing a historical fiction novel about them can make more Americans aware of this interesting and incredible group of men.
Thank you for a wonderful video.
I've been to the site where Hijikata Toshizō was killed, their story is a sad one indeed. Thank you for another great video.
Great video I enjoyed this one a lot! Could you please do a video about Miyamoto Musashi?
I would love that!
As a Gintama and Shinsengumi fans, this video really make the fangirl side of me come up lol. I read a lot of Shinsengumi from shoujo manga called 風光る (Int'l title: Flash of Wind) but your video make me understand more about the politic situation on that era. You explain it in easy way to understand. Thank you for this video!
In Gintama or Shinsengumi, my favorite is the one and only, Demon Vice-Chief Hijikata Toshizo 😆
I second that. Although I was first introduced to Shinsengumi from Hajime Saito character in Rurouni Kenshin, I read a lot of them from Kaze Hikaru. Did the author finished the story yet? The last volume I read was 26 or 27 and it was a long time ago.
Perfect , thank you very much.
I heard about them from a game called 薄桜鬼, where all the characters except like 1 were based on Shinsengumi , and all those Shinsengumi characters are characters in the game. It also had that Ikedaya Jiken. I did not realise how much of it took from actual history. This is so interesting, your video is really easy to understand compared to all those history books.
Great video bro I love your passion. I listen to this today on my morning run and make the run go by fast pretending I was a peasant training to be a samurai
I love your style of speaking and the content as well. You seem to be old-school Japanese, so different from most youth. Not that I dislike them, but you are cordial and respectful instead of ultra-shy.
Brilliant and fascinating! My Japanese friend gave me a shinsengumi uniform so I was happy to find more 🙂
Thank you so much for the informations Shogo-San ^-^
