Peace Maker Kurogane

Synopsis

Outside the dojo during a downpour, Tetsu recalls when Okita questioned if he were to abandon his humanity in order to avenge someone. Hijikata accepts Tetsu as part of the Shinsengumi, as the rain begins to let up. Ayumu Yamazaki, the housekeeper, is complimented by Tetsu on her delicious cooking. Tetsu is then introduced to Sanosuke Harada and Shinpachi Nagakura, the tenth and second unit captains, respectively. Tetsu is reluctant to find out that he must serve as a page under Hijikata. Susumu Yamazaki, the watcher, reports to Hijikata concerning the Choushuu clan, responsible for leading a revolution against the Shogunate. Tetsu wishes to become a watcher instead of a page, becoming jealous of Susumu.
