i really love how much your perspective on... basically everything inoue says to ryoma in ishin! changes on the second playthrough

knowing that he grassed "saito" up to kondo immediately and fucking PLAYS DUMB whenever he says something immediately suspect, and yet, through all of this, covers for his sorry ass at every turn, even knowing there's a real possibility ryoma would cut him down on the spot if he found out who he was

both of them bullshit each other so much through the whole game, and it makes me sad they didn't ever get to speak as equals with no false names attached

#ishin spoilers #kamo-san drilling ryoma in his kenjutsu style... it would be too perfect #a legendary swordsman passing on the torch kinda thing #it's an interesting look at inoue/kashiwagi's character as well; as someone who feels indebted to others & acts based on it #his loyalty to kondo isami coming from the fact he gave kamo + hirama + hirayama renewed purpose and a new start in life #and his sympathy towards ryoma having assassinated his dad & the shared experience of living in the shinsengumi under a fake name #he makes me incredibly ill #in more ways than one i think #inoue genzaburo #kashiwagi osamu #sakamoto ryoma #kiryu kazuma #ishin #text #meta #another reason i'm sad more people didn't play ishin tbh. like you're telling me i have to write the inoue character study myself?#i can barely write a good tumblr post #sure it is past time i was sleeping but #i don't think writing this earlier would have been any better #who do i have to pay to write me the inoue character analysis fic of my dreams
