Behind The Servants: The Shinsengumi

[@JudgeAlan501]

Honestly, Okita and the shinsengumi probably have the “Astolfo” effect double bad because of there popularity in anime and VN other than just Fate

[@harrya9458]

I thought Serizawa was actually heavily implied to be anti-Tokugawa. He was a patriot specifically to the Emperor and not the Shogun, which is speculated to be a possible reason why he was assassinated in the first place, and this loyalty was probably part of why he opted to stay in Kyoto, where the Emperor actually resided, instead of returning to Edo

5:07 her trauma made her sickness worsened(a disheartening person is more vulnerable to sickness)

Shinsengumi is the most popular "Underdog" characters in Japanese history both fictional and non fictional. This band of farmer born samurais became the last Shogunate's vanguard warriors for the duration of 6 years. *6 YEARS AND THEY ARE THIS WELL KNOWN IN ALL OF JAPANESE HISTORY.* 1. The Shinsengumi is the model for the characters for the popular 2015 Gundam series, Iron-Blooded Orphans. They wanted the main characters' Gundam Mercenary company to follow the narratives of the Shinsengumi group. If you like Shinsengumi, try Iron Blooded Orphans (IBO), it's pretty good.

Hey don't knock 6 years, the US confederacy lasted less time and people claim it as a big part of their heritage...

[@koriandcr]

for anyone curious, the person put in as todou heisuke is a character from hakuoki shinsengumi kitan, an otome/visual novel series. despite being a fantasy game, it for the most part, stays faithful to the real history of the shinsengumi

Okita: DAISHOURI!!!

[@kairowkuroshi1371]

On my Journey to get all the Shinsengumi, Since Hijikata is where I started to love the Units. All I'm missing for now is Normal or assassin Okita. So I greatly appreciate a vid about them. Thanks for the vid.

[@truekurayami]

Klidge, I would like to point out, we did get Kando as an NPC in the GudaGuda Yamataikoku event. I don't think he ever got a specific class as a servant but he was at least a featured NPC and you did use his game art during Hijikata's segment

[@desmondmalone438]

5:40 pretender confirmed(also Okita in the background cough always broke my heart)

[@pf3558]

Extremely insightful video, just getting into fate and learning all this stuff is probably the biggest motivator for that

[@desmondmalone438]

0:59 it’s called Hakuoki by the way literally one my gateways of knowing about the Shinsengumi the other one is Gintama

[@desmondmalone438]

2:55 yeah he a OG wife beater for someone who like to play with children like Okita he sure could hurt them

[@desmondmalone438]

If anymore Shinsengumi servants showed up I wish for a part 2

[@desmondmalone438]

8:08 reminds me of Sougo’s sister(it felt similar)

[@michaelmcdoesntexist1459]

So Okita was a waifu and no one can prove it wrong.

[@Ramma10]

Man I found ur channel recently and I love these types of videos so much. Keep up the great work bro!

[@ciarq3917]

the shinsengumi has been romanticised so much in media, i enjoy your recounts and tellings of the history, if possible could you maybe list your sources? maybe in the description or something for further reading?

[@hiji6242]

Hijikata is just a little guy

[@armoured7201]

im only here for hijikata my second favorite berserker

[@j_Snow]

I'd like to see a video covering the Genpei Wars someday We're close to Kagekiyo debut on NA

[@aethyerfrostblade5770]

Heya Klidge, loved the video! I was wondering if there were any other historical texts of which you would recommend? I've been meaning to write an academic paper over the Shinsengumi, but unfortunately their texts are hardly covered in the west, and my Japanese proficiency was not up to par when I was studying in Japan.

[@Vithor.G16]

Thanks for the great work! ^~^

[@desmondmalone438]

14:38 he can’t him were’s his glasses lol

[@cupdrinker678]

I used to think okita's name was Okita Sogo, like you. Then I took a gudaguda pre release to the knee

[@Darrimus]

Wonder if they'll add the gorilla one day...

[@desmondmalone438]

10:38 *AGHHHHHHHH*

[@Suta969]

Can you do a video on Helena Blavatsky ?

[@gudakoalter]

so Okita could really be a girl disguised as a man. so FGO could have been right in gendering him/her

[@gelibrva472]

Hold up, Shinpachi as a caster? May I get your reasoning on that?
