Sakamoto Ryôma and Che Guevara were both Young, excentric and charismatic leader révolutionnaires who died Young, and perceived as visionaries in the modern world.

Sakamoto and Guevara were both from the bourgeoisie, Sakamoto being a samurai with background as merchant and a famed Kendôka in the Chiba school, and Guevara was a doctor seduced by leftist ideas.

A cynic once said : "Those who are rightist in there twenties do not have an heart ; those who are leftist in their fifties do not have a brain."

Because they were young when they started, and young when they finished, they can serve as idols and martyrs to display for the people. But in fact, had they survived, they would have probably followed the same corrupted trend as their fellows. One should remember Che Guevara butchered prisoners in the name of his ideology. While in the end, those imperialists samurais lost the Bushidô and partaked in it's destruction by creating anti-samurai laws (even though it was part of the national identity of Japan, and still is) such as abolition of feudal domains, Dampatsu-rei, Haitô-rei and denial of many promesses. Guevara and Sakamoto are similar fellows. They died before entering in a too much manifest way in the corruption and not-politically correct at all trend. Thus they are remembered as good and cool heroes by the mob, who seek hope in History.

That is why I said Sakamoto Rryôma is the japanese Che Guevara.

Kabutowari, the wakizashi of Saigô Takamori, would have been a better character than Mutsu-no-kami Yoshiyuki. Yeah, this one handed blade splited an helmet, it's crazy ! lol
