Bakumatsu Kikansetsu Irohanihoheto - 12 - Soutetsu?
Okay, I made some assumptions after the previous episode which weren’t all that correct. Katsu has actually travelled to Edo as well, which would explain Taiyou’s presence. It seems that he’s taken Parkes along with him. The masked ghosts also weren’t the ones who killed Sakamoto Ryouma, though I could’ve sworn that I saw them before in the series.
This episode answered a lot of questions, though at the same time, if introduced twice as much in return. Still, these questions were a lot more interesting than the ones introduced in the previous episode. The most important obviously being, what the heck is Soutetsu up to? Also, whose side is Kanna Saikyou no Suke actually on? We see him take orders from both Parkes and Juubei. Also, will Glover play another role, or did he stay in Yokohama? And why was Kakunojou so terrified of these monsters?
Anyway, this episode was really good. I really liked how Kakunojou passed Oryou’s message to Akizuki. He’s still blaming himself for Sakamoto’s death. He even went to jail for a while. The clash between Soutetsu, Kanna and Akizuki also was great to see.
