Shinsengumi

---

 

Once a fierce Samurai, the Shinsengumi have simply become like demons on the battlefield. The Shinsengumi are Samurais who picked up a gun and continued to fight against the changing era in order to follow into the new world. The once orthodox and reform fighting style has been released in favor of an overwhelming presence on the battlefield frightening both enemies and allies alike.
