IT REALLY IS SAD... towards the beginning of the Meiji Restoration, Japan was adopting more modern technology, obviously including changing how wars are fought. For swords like Mucchan or for example, the Shinsengumi gang, it may have felt like their time was up before it even began...

Focusing on Mutsunokami, though, I think it's obvious the fact saddens him, but I also think he's accepted his infiriority which is in many ways a good trait. Mutsunokami wants the world to change for the better, even if he doesn't fit in that future.

There's no references to this and it's just me wondering, but I wonder if he also feels like he held Sakamoto back. When he was attacked on the night of his assasination, he instinctively reached for Mutsunokami instead of his gun. I'd love to see how he feels about that, and if he wishes he'd chosen his gun.

Sorry for meta'ing all over your post lol
