Fun Fact: The Shimazu family Kazama mentions is one of the oldest samurai families that are still around today. The current head of the family is the CEO of a tourism company that manages several tourist sites in Satsuma.
This is really interesting, I didn’t look into it and didn’t know they were still around and carrying their name ! Thank you for this precious piece of knowledge.
I can't help but I feel a tightness in my chest while reading this. Big and old families or clans can be immoral in some aspects. They sometimes cling to very strict, immoral, and inhuman rules and traditions that make them united and lasting for a long time and make them transcend. I don't know about Japan, but that's the case in some countries where clans or old and huge families still exist. I won't mention the names of those countries to avoid problems, but a lot of traumatized refugees and immigrants in Europe and America are from those countries. I dont mean any insult at all, but right now, I am a medical student in a big hospital where refugees and immigrants from those certain countries visit more than other hospitals and merely reading the words "one of the oldest families " made my heart tighten and beat in an uncomfortable way. Kazama is my favorite character and I put lots of time and efforts into writing my fanfic that features him and Chizuru but sometimes I feel very uncomfortable when he keeps speaking about his clan and the strict rules he follows for keeping his clan. I feel the same for Sen and Shinpachi even though they are not my favorite characters at all. As for Shinpachi, he joined his clan again in his epilogue.
This is also something I love about him. Most of his route is actually a Chizuru route about her growth and her struggles and how he supports her through it
omg I'm crying that ending was so beautiful. After playing his route on EB I always wondered how would their life be with the Kazama clan and is so cute to see how they refer to each other as both wife and husband or how both talk about their children (is funny to imagine how Chikage and their children tease Chizuru haha) and that pic is so perfect, the way they kiss and see each other put a smile on my face. Thank you so much for the translation! I can't wait to see Souma's route, he' and Kazama are my favorites
Kazama is one of my favourite ad well ! And Souma is such a precious boy, I love him ! I wanna see poor Chizuru being teased by mini-him as well ! 😹 thanks for your comment !
Thank you so much for uploading these videos! You're awesome ♡ These bonus stories added so much to Kazama's route in the original game! Kazama has always been my least favorite love interest because his original route in Demon of the Fleeting Blossom always felt a lot shorter and a bit shallow compared to the others. Back then, I couldn't fully grasp why he and Chizuru would end up together even though I acknowledge that he helped her a lot by granting her wish to witness the shinsengumi's fate to the end. I also used think that Kazama and Chizuru didn't have any chemistry, but now I'm seeing him in a whole new light after watching these videos. His banter with Chizuru is so amusing, the way he planned his future with her from the start cracks me up lmao He's so annoying and kinda cute at the same time, I really enjoy his relationship with Chizuru now. I haven't played his route in KW and EB yet, but now I'm really excited to play for the extra scenes! Thank you so much for taking the time to translate these routes ♡
I agree that Kazama’s original route felt like a bonus and very rushed. I wasn’t really into it. Shinkai (KW/EB) has some defaults but at least, the Kazama route has been rewritten and is really giving him the route he deserves. The fandisk was great for him! I’m glad. Also I love Chizuru in his route and love how supportive he is of her. He tells her she’s different but that isn’t a problem or something to be ashamed of, he pushes her to love herself, love all of herself and I think Chizuru’s growth in this route is great.
Thank you so much for your hard work!! As Kazama and Tsuda-san big simp since 2011 I’m so happy for both Kazama and Chizuru, it’s a really sweet and happy ending so I ended up with tears 🥲 I will never be able to forget this great story, and thanks to you, we were able to reveal a new gentle side of Kazama Thank you again from all my heart, I love you! ❤️
Thank you very much for this. I send you my thanks from the deepest of my heart. 🥰🥰🥰❤❤🧡💛💛💓💗💗💗💞💞💞💞💞 i LOVED every part you send of any route and i look forward all the routes you would share next. Love you🧡🧡🧡💛💚💙💙
This is everything my romantic heart wanted for them tbh. The CG is perfect, the way they hold each other shows a lot of intimacy ❤️ I'll keep tuned to see Hiji and... Well, anything you translate from Hakuouki (except perhaps Iba, because I can't stand his existence XD). Kudos for translating the whole Kazama route!
I’m so happy that I’ve had the chance to read this because of your translations, thank you so much! Question? Do you plan to do Iba’s? I love that man more than I love my parents 😅
Hi, thank you for your support ! For the moment, Iba isn’t planned at all since he is my least liked character:( I may do it in the future but for now, I’m not planning on it and if it happens, it will be after the eleven others. I hope you’re not too disappointed and you have other characters you enjoy ! I’m currently on Hijikata, next one will be either Okita or Saito. Probably Saito.
Ever since I start watching Hakuouki, I laid my eyes on Kazama instead of the guys from Shinsengumi, as he straight up became my favourite ever and this is the Top reason why, in fact, he's the perfect match for Chizuru as he always protects her and never lied to her nor leaves her like what the Shinsengumi did as he only wanted her as his wife as Chizuru is also a Demon just like him and this is actually the Happy Ending I wanted
I feel there is a hint of mental exhaustion in Kazama's words. I feel being responsible for the lives of the people in his clan had exhausted him. Unlike the epilogue of some other route, like the Hijikata's epilogue, where Hijikata sounds very relaxed, Kazama sounds tired. He's not like how he was during the whole route. In Kyoto winds and even in edo blossoms, he doesn't sound that tired. It's as if his time in Kyoto winds and edo blossoms was an escapism from his life that we see now in his epilogue.
I love Kazama's route, but im sad because Kazama and Chizuru's kiss CGs are not good enough or intimate enough, in my opinion. Like in their kiss CGs, they don't look physically connected enough. This kiss CG here is much better than the two kiss CG in hakuouki edo blossoms. But i am still sad that they still don't look physically intimate enough.
Not physically intimate enough? For Japanese romance standards it's super intimate, and especially for the time period too. Only couples who were engaged or married could kiss or even hold hands in public, for couples that weren't it was highly inappropriate. And it wasn't any different in the West at the time either. Heck, if you were caught being intimate with a man who wasn't your intended it'd be a huge scandal. Your entire family could be shunned from society. It was a very conservative time; Japan still is when it comes to PDA. In fact, a lot of Japanese visitors are very shocked by the amount of PDA in the West.
@@isobelduncan no no. You misunderstood me. I'm speaking about the other kiss CGs in other routes. Like Hijikata's route or Iba's route. They don't do anything in public, but the CGs are more intimate, in my opinion. Plus, why don't we see Kazama and Chizuru kiss in their own room or home? But again, maybe the fact that I love Kazama so much is the reason why I'm not satisfied. You know, when you love a character so much, you keep asking for more.

Thank you for the uploads!!! One thing I really like about Kazama is that he doesn't exclude her from the politics
This is also something I love about him. Most of his route is actually a Chizuru route about her growth and her struggles and how he supports her through it
That is a really good point. It makes a great change from how she usually helps the guys with their issues instead

Thank you ! I’m also very happy with this ending !
thank you very much for doing Kazama's route first. It was so great! I'm waiting with impatience for other routes.
Thank you for making my New Year happy
This Kazama’s route from Tsukikage no Shou is beautiful 🥰
Thank you for all the hard work put into recording and translating these!
Great Finale !
Gosh, certainly one of my favorite routes, this man!
Thank you!

What a coincidence, I am planning on doing eleven routes and Iba isn’t one if them 😬
I’m glad you liked it, thanks for your support !
@@SaltyNeo Even better! xD And thanks to you!

皆様結ばれた後嫁さんやら妻やら言いすぎて笑える(///ω///)♪
本気で我妻にななった後話かねΣ(゜Д゜)
Yes
One thing. Did Kazama and Chizuru have a child? Or is it my imagination? She said it for the translation and left me incognito.
Yes. And If I recall correctly, children.
Children
Wait, Kazama mentions Saigo as in... Saigo Takamori!?
Yes
I love Kazama's route, but im sad because Kazama and Chizuru's kiss CGs are not good enough or intimate enough, in my opinion. Like in their kiss CGs, they don't look physically connected enough.
