Iba Hachiro- Character Behaviour Analysis

Yandere: A character, who has an obsessive and possessive side in regards to their crush, ready to use violent and murderous means to maintain an exclusive bond.

I think there is a lot of misunderstanding in regards to many characters which makes sense because of the numerous adaptations with canon changing each time but Iba Hachiro’s case is interesting because he has only one canon- the two main games Edo Blossoms and Kyoto Winds.

I'll try to explain why Iba is not a yandere/psychopathic/gaslighting/manipulating/lying man (I have read all of these adjectives being used to describe him and it’s really upsetting...).

Following are the reasons I came up with when having a discussion with a fellow server member and I thought I’d share them here to let others like me know that you’re not crazy or gaslighted by him for liking him...

1. He is completely missable if you don't pick his first two romance options. Yanderes do not give up, whereas Iba stops coming around if you don't remember him. He moves on. Something he would not have done if he was obsessed and was chasing Chizuru around.

2. You meet him again in other story paths and he does not talk beyond formality to you.

3. He stopped coming around and they grew distant as children as is wont to happen naturally. If he was deeply in love, that wouldn't have happened. They lived in the same city. His training would not have consumed his every day, every hour as he was still a child. He would have plenty of opportunities to come around.

4. Iba is not possessive at all. Kazama is actually the only possessive romance option afaik. Iba encourages you to look at other shinsengumi men because they're his friends too.

and politely asks you to wait a little bit so he at least has a chance. That seems very fair to me and he does not hint even once that if she does choose someone else, he will act crazy to obtain Chizuru instead of them.

When she does choose someone else, Souma in this case, he is supportive first and then naturally acts protective over a dear friend.

5. He pays attention to Chizuru's inner turmoil, very similar to Harada and Saito. When you pick the option to reluctantly leave the shinsengumi in chapter 5, he interrupts Hijikata (which is interesting since his dedication to Hijikata is on Yamazaki and Saito’s level) to say that knowing Chizuru’s wishes is important even when Hijikata scolds him for confusing Chizuru, and asks Chizuru if she really wants to leave. When she says no, he puts a rock on his own heart and let's her stay even though it is making him extremely worried knowing she'd be in the centre of a battlefield.

6. Actually cares for her mental well being by taking her out of the headquarters and by giving her new experiences like trying new sweets, taking walks to new areas, etc.

7. He wanted to kill himself for letting his demon arm control him. The man was seriously depressed of what he was doing to Chizuru when all he wanted was to make her happy.

7.1 He was literally asking her to leave him because he is unable to keep her safe. In an abusive relationship, such as with a yandere, possession is the ultimate goal. You don't ask for what you covet to leave you.

8. He is not gaslighting or manipulating Chizuru: He only brings up the past in about three instances and none of them are put in a way that is to gaslight her. They are always either in regards to her power or to explain why he feels protective of her. He never uses it to force her to feel a certain way about him.

9. He has not been obsessed with her for over a decade and did not train and become a warrior only for her: If that was the case he would not treat her with as much formality as he does on your non-romance paths. Their relationship would have always been on the front for him. He takes his Okuzume duties very seriously as his bushido is just as important to him as it is to the shinsengumi men. He is basically a shinsengumi warrior who couldn't be in the shinsengumi.

10. The nostalgia he holds for Chizuru makes sense since he is only 19 when you meet him. Chizuru is about 16-17. They had only 2-3 years between them. Since he was older, he would remember it better than Chizuru does and obviously think deeply upon the person who pushed him to go train. I have no doubt he would have picked up the katana at some point in his life, being the heir to one of the biggest dojo, but when he did it wasn’t out of a sense of filial duty, it was to protect a close friend. We all remember the reason or the person we were pushed onto our path in life. For him, it was Chizuru.

10.1 He is not lying or gaslighting Chizuru about her past: He cannot be lying about her bullying and healing powers because up until the game begins, Chizuru's powers are her best kept secret. How could he have known about them, if he wasn’t there when it happened? Not to mention, her recalling the past happens from her perspective. I feel like people take away Chizuru’s agency and treat her like an idiot when it comes to her own mind (I’ve seen this happen when people discuss Harada’s romance too). She isn’t a genius but she’s not a donkey either.

11. Chizuru's suppressed memories: in Kazama's route we learn what happened at Chizuru's village when she was a kid: the fire, killing, kidnapping etc. was a traumatising event. Being attacked with stones by bullies who call you monster is another traumatising event that happened only a few years later. Chizuru has had a traumatising past and it makes sense for her to forget a big chunk of her childhood, which would include forgetting the people she met, like Hachiro and replace it with a more familiar person like her father.

12. In regards to him being a "white knight": Firstly, why is being a white knight a bad thing? Secondly, that's literally his job. He is a samurai. They are sworn to their lords and a samurai's behaviour reflects upon the lord they serve. He is an okuzume which means he is directly connected to his lord i.e the shogun. If he is not behaving knightly, he is failing at his job. Not to mention, he is extremely sensitive and empathetic. He holds his values very close to his heart and believes in treating everyone with respect, despite his privilaged, noble upbringing. Being a bystander to injustices goes extremely against his nature and lifestyle.

13. Wearing his heart on his sleeve does not make him weak: I think a reason people dislike Hachiro is because he is very open about his feelings from the start. Somehow, his honesty is his problem...? I have seen the more cryptic love options like Kazama, Saito, Hijikata and Okita being more popular than the more open and honest ones like Harada, Iba and Sakamoto. Perhaps it is a preference but being openly vulnerable shows a different type of strength and it should be respected, imo.

14. He respects her wishes: He could sense Chizuru was not ready for sex yet and he respects it, even in his drunken state. Even when you choose to deny him, he is not passive aggressive. Again, yanderes/abusers/gaslighters don't do that. They would get offended and make you feel bad or scared of them.

Side note: I don't think Hachiro was ‘in love’ with Chizuru as a child. One can’t truly understand love at the age of 7-8. He uses the older brother honorific for himself in the first few interactions we have with him and only afterwards (chapter 2 iirc) that he stops using it, showing the transition from the childhood friend/older brother to a grown man who wants to court a woman.

How are u finding the remastered Hakuouki KW and EB? Are there any routes in particular you like? When i saw ur post on Heisuke i clutched my heart hes so cute...theres so many good routes in Hakuouki😊 oh yeah on the common route do you aim for particular characters or choose randomly? Whenever i choose randomly i get Saitou XD and hes great too definitely a bit terse with admitting to his feelings but a great guy whose very considerate of his comrades!

I have three routes left to do in KW! Shinpachi, Sanan (my beloved) and Ryouma! I played the original which you probably know and Heisuke was my accidental first on that one lol! My favourite shall always be Harada but out of the new routes so far I really loved Hachiro Iba and I found Yamazaki to be surprisingly sweet but I teared up a lot at finally getting to see him live ;; I always cry whenever we see him die in the other routes!

I don't go in for random choice I plan out what routes I'm aiming for so I know who to focus on. This time I did Common, Hijikata, Saito, Kazama, Heisuke, Okita, Harada (because I wanted to get the OG's outta the way to focus on the new guys), Souma (ugh...probably my most hated route I wish we'd gotten Sen instead), Iba and just now I finished Yamazaki!

I'm probably most excited about playing Sanan because in the original I wanted to romance him so bad! I can fix him I just know it...problematic fave for sure

Replaying Heisuke's route as an adult I couldn't help but pick up all the accidental trans-gay coding he had lol! Even when he was having "romantic" scenes with Chizuru I sat there like "yeah...he's hella repressed I ain't buying it" while eyeing up how he interacts with Harada and Shinpachi lol

I like Saito and Hijikata's routes from a story and character perspective but they're not really the kinds of characters I'm interested in as a romance which is why I did them after the Common/Normal Ending

I'm currently trying to stop myself from writing a Chizuru centric fic until I've finished all the routes and Edo Blossoms at the very least :')

Hakuouki Question Meme

From this post! (I just don’t like reblogging lists of questions with all my answers attached, and I don’t wanna bother anyone by tagging for credit, but please do go check out the linked blog.)

1. Why/how did you decide to start playing Hakuōki?

I saw a post of KW/EB’s CGs (back in early 2016, long before it was localized—might even have been before Edo Blossoms was out in Japan) on @chibitorra’s blog and liked the post, so she was all excited that I knew what Hakuōki was. When she found out I’d just liked the post because of the art style, she showed me some more art and I fell in love and later bought Memories without knowing anything at all about it, including the fact that Hakuōki is historical fiction.

2. What routes and/or games have you played so far?

All routes, extra content, and DLC in:

Memories of the Shinsengumi (3DS)

Stories of the Shinsengumi (PS3)

Hakuōki Shinsengumi Kitan (iOS)

Kyoto Winds (PS Vita)

Edo Blossoms (PS Vita)

And as a bonus:

Warriors of the Shinsengumi (PSP)

3. What is your favorite character and route? They don’t have to be the same.

Favorite character… oof. Difficult question. Still the disgrace to all demon-kind that is Kazama, though it’s worth noting that my first impulse was to say Shiranui. But my favorite route is definitely Heisuke’s.

4. Is there a song that you associate with your fave?

Panic! at the Disco’s “Emperor’s New Clothes”, on account of that one not-quite-AMV I made, feat. HakuMyu!Kazama.

5. Who was the first route you played?

Hijikata’s, because Canon First, amirite? But it’s worth noting that because I went into it blind (and initially locked myself into a bad ending since I was playing on one file…), I actually ended up with the most affection with Saito at first. Thankfully, he and Hijikata were so close that I only had to load my last save to pick Hijikata’s option instead and put him in first place.

6. Did you go with the name Chizuru or did you pick another name? What was it?

At first, I used the name “Michiko” for no particular reason other than I like the name. Then I decided keeping “Chizuru” was better since she turned out to have a personality of her own and I wasn’t seeing myself in her situation. After that, for specific routes in Stories, I used “Chihiro” because that’s the name of my self-insert in that one dumb epic I can actually write now.

7. Is there a character that you just can’t get yourself to like? If so, who?

Iba Motherfucking Hachiro.

8. What characters (besides the player character) do you enjoy seeing interact the most?

Harada and Shiranui, for damn sure. I adore their rivalry-[b]romance and I wish there was a lot more of it. Other than that, Kazama and Sen for… fairly obvious reasons.

9. Is there a character that doesn’t currently have a route that you really want to see with one?

Nomura is the first that comes to mind, but really, I have mixed feelings. Given what they did with KW/EB, I no longer have a great deal of faith that Hakuōki as a franchise could handle more new routes in a balanced way, especially since there are so many reboots already.

10. Did you cry at any point during the game?

Who do you take me for, someone who isn’t 100% emotionally driven?

11. What was your favorite moment?

Wow, that’s open-ended… um… wow. How am I supposed to even choose?? There are so many different kinds of moments and so many favorites of each kind. But… out of everything, I think Kazama and Heisuke’s sass battle may rank the highest. That or Shiranui’s geisha route.

12. What is your favorite CG?

God, that’s a tall order too. I ran through my entire copious collection of CGs in search of whichever one spoke to me most and I think this one ranks highest:

(Coincidentally a part of the same scene as the one I chose for my favorite moment. And in my favorite route, too. Figures.)

13. Did you prefer the characters’ original outfits and hairstyles or their Western ones?

Hmm… it really depends on the character and, for that matter, the game. I’d have to say, overall, I’m a total sucker for the original/Stories Western wear, but the recolors and redesigns in KW/EB aren’t quite as good imo.

14. Thinking about your favorite character and route, do you think you could fall for and date that person in real life?

Uh… no, probably not. Kazama is a terrible person and I don’t want to be anywhere near him in any way, and Heisuke is more like a brother to me.

15. What is your opinion on Itou?

I think his presentation in the game is terrible and that he did, in fact, deserve to be assassinated.

16. If you found yourself at death’s door, would you drink the ochimizu and become a fury?

Yeah, probably. My reasoning would be the same as Heisuke’s, though—more out of fear than anything else—and my regrets would be comparable. Don’t really wanna think too far down that road…

17. Do you think the Ishida Powdered Medicine actually does anything?

Not knowing what’s in it, I can’t say for sure, but I think it’ll fix some ailments more than others. They probably exaggerate its healing capacities.

18. Do you want to see Sweet School Life or Reimeiroku localized? Would you buy them?

I’m actively interested in Reimeiroku and would buy that shit so fast you wouldn’t believe. But… as for SSL, the weird student/teacher dynamics prevent me from really wanting them to translate that one. I’d still buy it, though.

19. Did you watch the anime?

I did, all three seasons. But the Sekkaroku OVA is by far my favorite in so many ways.

20. What would you like to see in any future games?

I… don’t know. I don’t know if I even want any future games in the first place, given the number they did on KW/EB, retconning things that originally made sense into things that don’t make sense anymore. I think Hakuōki might have hit its peak, and I’m apprehensive about additional installments.

Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms Part 8 - Iba Hachiro Route

I’ve always admired the perseverance of Hijikata, so hearing Iba talk about how the shogunate guys have been refusing meetings with him and not seeing eye to eye with the Shinsengumi and Iba, it’s pretty depressing, but it really shows how much Hijikata is unwilling to yield. On the other hand though, seems like Iba’s new Demon hand is acting up on its own and can even control his actions? Doesn’t sound good… Damnn, both CGs of Iba drinking her blood or enduring it are so pretty😍 I feel so bad, here he is suffering and I’m just relishing in how good he looks🤣

It’s always so funny how Motoyama (hatamoto alongside Iba) is always so scared when it comes to Hijikata🤣 Niceee that Chizuru will be living with Iba whilst the Shinsengumi march to Kofu Castle~ They can bond more now since they had been separated for months when they all moved to Edo. It’s true that it’s kinda like a casual honeymoon since they’re living together, she’s cooking for him and they’re spending quality time together hahaha. It’s so heartbreaking to know that the shogunate didn’t expect anything from the Shinsengumi and were ready to give away Edo Castle to the enemies, so essentially they allowed all those people in the Shinsengumi to die on a mission that wasn’t meant to be fruitful at all. They got Hijikata and the Shinsengumi’s hopes up that they were fighting for the shogunate when they themselves had already given up… No wonder Iba is so mad at them and himself.. It’s the worst that Iba definitely wants to participate in all this, but he can’t since he promised that he won’t interfere with human history and conflict since he has the Demon arm now. So it’s awesome that Chizuru asked him to be her bodyguard as she reunites with the Shinsengumi, so that technically all Iba is doing is protecting her and not intentionally changing history, it can’t be helped if she has chosen to go and he has to protect her hahaha. Very good idea, Chizuru! You know Iba well! Since he promised Sen that he wouldn’t interfere anymore, his beliefs would never allow him to go back on that, but with this, he’ll be able to see how the Shinsengumi and the rest are doing, and possibly support them indirectly. Funny that he doesn’t realise (or maybe he just doesn’t want to since that’ll go against his principles) what she’s trying to do and sincerely just wants to bring her to the Shinsengumi lmao.

Awww, his new look is so not cute! He doesn’t have as much of that pretty boy in a Japanese way look now😪😪 Sooo boring. It must be so painful for Iba to drink Chizuru’s blood to curb his bloodlust every time though, he’s so devoted to being the one that will protect her no matter what, and yet every time he has these “attacks”, Chizuru has to hurt herself and give him her blood, it must really hurt him to have her do that. Why are the Odawara guys traitors too… That’s just so terrible, Iba and them were so hopeful to have gained allies, only to be backstabbed by them and the Imperial forces… I don’t blame Iba for breaking his vow to Sen, he’s his unit’s leader, how could he possibly watch them be slaughtered like this… Btw not a fan of Takeda’s new look either! His hair looks kinda funny haha😅

Considering the difference between Takeda’s and Iba’s backgrounds, which are pretty much complete opposites with Takeda being poor, seen as filth and he climbed all the way to who he is now through sheer willpower and strength he cultivated to not be looked down upon anymore, whilst Iba is rich and blessed with the opportunity to be a hatamoto despite lacking real fighting to the death experiences that I’m sure Takeda had to go through like every day I guess… So, really, in a sense, Takeda’s hatred runs quite deep even without all the things that happened before, he just hates Iba for everything that he is and everything that he himself isn’t and cannot be. OMG, lewd dreams of Chizuru?! Dang, Takeda, I don’t really want to know that. Did Takeda and Iba accept perverted Demon hands…? Lol. Even if Takeda drank much more human blood than Iba, could he be that much stronger than Iba to completely overpower him? Shouldn’t Chizuru’s blood be powerful too then?? Hmmm. Or maybe Takeda’s wrath amplifies his power as well? Since I feel like although Iba doesn’t like Takeda and really wants to protect Chizuru, he’s never been as emotional as when he first cut Takeda’s arm off, and he hasn’t accustomed himself to the new arm that much compared to Takeda I guess.

It was so heartbreaking to hear Iba have to admit and tell her that he’s having those lewd dreams as well…and to have to admit that she’s the safest away from him… Iba is so noble, such a gentleman and has vowed to protect her no matter what, so for him to have to admit that she’s safest away from him must be the worst… Is it just me or does Chizuru have a comprehension problem? Which part of Iba telling her to leave with Sen meant that he thought she was a nuisance and is overstaying the offer he had previously given??? He even pinned her down before because of the hand and she still doesn’t get that he just wants to protect her?!? Chizuru, are you an idiot? Anyway, I guess she kinda does understand… But damn, I love how Sen phrased it for Iba to understand, that just as he is willing to lay down his life for the shogunate with his loyalty even if there’s probably a very slim chance of them winning at all, Chizuru is the same, she as a woman has already chosen to lay down her life to stay beside him regardless of what may happen because just as he has chosen his path, she has chosen hers to be with him no matter what. Gotta thank Sen for solving their communication problems lmao. On the note of Takeda having those lewd dreams about Chizuru because of Iba’s innate feelings for her + the Demon hand’s power and this connection between the hands causing Takeda to feel a similar way to Chizuru is kindaaaa iffy but okay...

Omggg, Iba has been training himself since he was a kid all this time to be a worthy man for Chizuru! That’s so sweet!! No wonder why he feels so unworthy of her, she’s been like his goal all this time and he never really thought that she’d ever love him back but he still worked for it hoping that one day when he approves of himself, she will too, and his hopes were probably crushed when he became a Fury that always had to drink her blood and have an arm that constantly wanted to attack her, Iba has been really suffering… Anyway, so glad they finally told each other their feelings properly and kissed! Lovely CG as always😉 And so now the Demon hand recognises his emotional resolve and will allow Iba to use it at his will? So, all it needed was a kiss? Considering those lewd dreams, a kiss seems so innocent LOL. Hahaha, well it was more than a kiss I guess, since the kiss was only the result of Iba finally being able to make a breakthrough in terms of his feelings and his mental barriers.

It was so cute when they shared a bed together and he comforted her since she was crying about how so many of the Shinsengumi guys were either dead or had left and they’re unsure of their safety with how the situation is right now… The kiss was nice☺️ Omgg…I can’t believe Nomura was killed in battle and ripped to shreds?!?! That’s so terrible… He was such a happy little guy.. I can’t believe even Hijikata and Motoyama (Iba’s good friend in the Yugeki unit) were killed😭😭 What do they do now??? Oh, I’m really surprised that Saito killed Kodo already, totally thought he was still rampaging around, I guess it’s just Takeda then? Pretty nauseating to imagine him eating all this human flesh and taking their blood though, eughhh… I’m actually surprised that Iba really slashed/stabbed Takeda along with Chizuru when Takeda took her hostage. I really thought he wouldn’t be able to do it since he had always been so adamant on protecting her and never letting her get injured. And then it just kinda time skips to possibly years or so later when she finally wakes up from her comatose state due to the injury, and they can finally enjoy their happy and peaceful life together! Anyway, it ended rather abruptly and in an anticlimactic way tbh since they built up all this tension and the ultimate goal of killing Takeda and it just ended like that? Oh well though lol.

That chapter 2 game over though, I hatee the endings where the guy gets eaten by the Furies, it’s so disgusting and devastating😢 I did like it that Chizuru stabbed the kodachi into her heart to follow him in death though, since really, being tortured into having Takeda’s offspring is definitely worst than death, and you’ll be destroying other people’s lives with that offspring too, so yeah… Oh, well, I guess she does that in the chapter 3 bad ending where she gets tricked and is forced to be Takeda’s slave for the rest of her life😶 The way it happened was so silly though, Chizuru is always so silly😪 Fourth chapter ending was the worst, Takeda legit just killed her and started drinking her blood when he couldn’t win, like cooool🤨 Okay, unrequited love ending was disappointing too lol, not very dramatic at all.

Overall, I quite liked Iba’s route, maybe it’s also because it had a different story instead of the usual Kaoru or the Furies thing, but instead had Takeda and the Demon’s Arm thing, which I guess made it more refreshing. It’s definitely more violent with all the slashing off arms and torturing Iba though. But I did enjoy the “romance”. They didn’t actually spend much time “together” but I did enjoy how noble and kind of a guy Iba always was and how much he respected her and how strong his determination was to protect her. I always found it very endearing and sweet, but I guess that might be considered boring to others, since Iba never overstepped his boundaries and would always think that he’s unworthy of Chizuru, which is so not true! But yeah, he was a true nice guy that tried his best to hold on to his beliefs and also protect Chizuru and I liked that about him.

Favorite to Least Favorite Kyoto Winds Routes

Now that I have played through all of the routes, I would like to weigh in on who I liked and why. This will just delve a little into each route, mostly talking about my personal opinion rather than being a true summary. In the future, I may replay them again to give more detailed reviews of each. This game is good enough for me to actually want to do that! In the meantime, here’s my overall opinion of everyone. Remember, this is a Kyoto Winds list. I have not played Edo Blossoms yet, so this is purely based on the first game. Spoilers below.

#1. Favorite Angel of Perfection: Yamazaki Susumu

This gorgeous piece of wonderfulness shot up to the top of my list early on, and has remained there ever since. I love his route because there is a real sense of mutual respect between him and Yukimura. Unlike many of the other Shinsengumi members, who focus on protecting her and who often make her feel like an outsider, Yamazaki recognizes her potential in the medical field and becomes a mentor to her. He shows her that she doesn’t have to be a fighter in order to be useful. By the end of the route, Yukimura’s confidence is so high, she ends up being the one to convince Yamazaki of his worth when he laments his inability to fight in certain scenarios.

Also, I am an utter sucker for the loner type who quietly supports their love interest from a distance before the two even get to know each other. Yamazaki straight-up says that he was watching Yukimura and rooting for her in secret from the beginning! Another plus is how perfect Yamazaki is at showing affection. He’s very gentle, but very straightforward. Once he knows what his feelings are, he’s not shy about making sure Yukimura knows how much he cares. I just about died when he took her hands after being comforted by her and told her how strong she was and how much she meant to him.

In short, respecting your significant other and telling them you care is totes sexy. Yamazaki does that, and then some. He’s also hella pretty, and his blushy face is the cutest shit ever.

#2. Precious Sunshine Boy: Toudou Heisuke

Not to be dramatic, but I would die for Heisuke. His relationship with Yukimura is absolutely adorable from the very beginning! He’s the first of the main cast to be outwardly kind to her, and regularly stands up for her whenever he can. He gets major points for frequently reminding everyone that the Shinsengumi were the ones to originally take Yukimura prisoner, and are the ones at fault for most of the bad situations that require them to protect her.

I love that he treats Yukimura as his friend from the start, even telling her to call him by his first name due to their closeness in age. There are so many scenes when the two are playing around and enjoying each other’s company. However, there are also several deeper scenes that delve into the conflict Heisuke feels concerning the Shinsengumi. His departure with Itou leads to one of the most beautiful scenes in the game, when he and Yukimura meet each other in a teahouse. They can’t acknowledge that they know each other, since communication between the two groups is forbidden, so they spend hours just talking about the weather and other minor things just so they can be together for a little while.

Heisuke is a beautiful boy, and there is so! Much! Hand! Holding!

#3. Adorable Student Bean: Souma Kazue

I was not expecting to like Souma’s route as much as I did, but holy shit! He’s the cutest thing ever! His relationship with Yukimura is completely different than anyone else’s for two reasons: One, he doesn’t know she’s a girl until later. Two, Yukimura is his teacher when he joins the Shinsengumi. He spends most of the route referring to her as Yukimura-sensei, and is shown to respect her a great deal. The mutual respect and building-up in this route reminds me a lot of Yamazaki’s route, so I think it’s a trait of mentor/mentee relationships in this game.

One thing I like is that Souma is respectful and protective of Yukimura both before and after her gender is revealed. He rushes to protect her from Saburo’s harassment while still thinking she’s a man, and continues to call her his sensei after the truth is revealed. Also, there’s more of a sense of the two spending a lot of time together over the course of the route, which makes the romantic buildup seem very real. I especially like that this romance puts Yukimura in the more dominant role. I hope she’s the one to make the first move and kiss him in Edo Blossoms. I will die of happiness if this happens!

He also gets major bonus points for trying to sleep-cuddle Yukimura at the end. I am a sucker for sleep cuddles!

#4. Emotional Support Samurai: Harada Sanosuke

I liked Sano long before playing his route. He is another character who constantly strives to make Yukimura feel better about her situation and comfort her when things go wrong. This is even clearer in his route, which has several scenes of him looking out for her mental health, whether that involves sneaking out to take her for a nighttime walk or arranging a meeting with Sen so that the two can enjoy some wholesome girl-talk (which Yukimura was sorely lacking).

I did feel that Chapter Five was a bit lackluster in this route compared to some of the others, but it did a good job of solidifying the relationship between the two. Sano learns of Yukimura’s healing powers and is stunned, but insists that she isn’t a monster and that he will still protect her, since he sees it as a man’s duty to protect his lady. He called her his lady, and I am dead, okay?

As a romantic route, it had a perfect amount of buildup and sweet moments. I look forward to what comes next.

#5. Puppy Dog Eyes: Iba Hachiro

I’ll be real: This route could have easily secured the second-place spot, and even been a contender for first-place. It had everything I love in a romance. It had childhood friends reuniting. It had sweet, sweet backstory. It had probably the nicest character in the entire fucking game! Seriously, every scene with Iba and Yukimura was just so tender and beautiful! It felt more like a romantic story than pretty much all of the other routes.

So, why is it down here at number five? Well, it’s because YUKIMURA IS A FREAKING DUM-DUM IN THIS ROUTE! This woman was able to see through the feelings of some of the most closed-off characters in other routes, but somehow can’t figure out why Iba keeps putting himself out there for her. He literally takes her on dates, goes on about how wonderful she is, calls her his inspiration, and even calls her his love toward the end! And still, we have moments of her being like “Why is he doing this for me. This can’t just be an obligation to a childhood friend...” No shit, Sherlock! Does the man have to wear a shirt that has “I LOVE YUKIMURA” written on it in big red letters?!

So, yeah. This was a mixed bag. The good outweighs the bad enough for it to be higher on the list, but I really hope Yukimura actually gets a clue in Edo Blossoms.

#6. Sword Nerd: Saito Hajime

Ah, the classic Quiet Loner with a Heart of Gold. It’s an oldie, but a goodie. Saito is a good, solid route with a sprinkling of cute moments that balance with the emotional distance of other moments. Cute moments include Saito geeking out over swords, the snow bunny, and Saito freaking coming back from a freaking spy mission in order to nurse Yukimura back to health!

This route was definitely about building Saito’s respect for Yukimura, who becomes less timid and more determined to prove herself. As a result, she does spend a longer amount of time feeling like and outsider and doubting her worth. I look forward to seeing what happens in Edo Blossoms, now that she’s found her resolve.

Seriously, I am a sucker for sick fics! Why is this game pushing all my buttons?

#7. Epic Dork Bro: Nagakura Shinpachi

And here we are at the last member of the Golden Trio. Nagakura is a precious dork, and I love him to pieces! He spends most of the route acting as a goofy older brother figure to Yukimura, and the two develop a genuinely-adorable relationship. The scene when he falls asleep in her room and gets all embarrassed when he wakes up was particularly cute.

I did feel that the ending of his route was a bit rushed compared to the others. Also, I never felt that shift from him feeling like an older brother to him being a romantic interest. I look forward to seeing that change actually happen in Edo Blossoms.

Overall, this was a route with good moments that tapered off just a bit at the end, but I still loved it.

#8. The True Sexy Demon Man: Hijikata Toshizo

I genuinely enjoyed Hijikata’s route. I just happened to like seven routes better than it. The development between him and Yukimura is very solid, and it’s nice seeing him go from being stern and scary to gruff and caring. This route also made me hate Kazama even more than I already had. Seriously, let’s kill that fucker in the next game!

The appeal as a romance route was a bit lessened by Hijikata’s often-derisive attitude, and the fact that he calls Yukimura a kid from beginning to end. Like, hello? Talking to a grown-ass adult, here. If Yukimura’s old enough to be waifu material for a creepy Demon, she’s old enough to not be called “Kid.”

This had decent buildup, and the beginning of some good payoff. I’ll be waiting, oh second game, for my sweet reward.

#9. Threatening Jerkass: Okita Souji

I actually did warm up to Okita by the end of his route, but holy fuck did I have to slog through a lot of eye rolls to get to that point! He’s supposed to be the asshole who secretly cares, but he makes a little too much of a secret of it throughout most of the route. And, I’m sorry, but you can’t make me believe that him scaring a group of kids is actually an endearing scene. Can’t do it, game.

I did enjoy seeing him soften over time, but I really didn’t like all the moments when Okita makes cruel jabs at Yukimura, acting like he doesn’t care to the point where she actually believes him. I said this back at the number one spot: Telling the person you love that you actually give a damn is totes sexy.

Ah well. People are saying I will adore him in Edo Blossoms, so I’ll hold out for now.

#10. Doctor Evil: Sanan Keisuke

Sanan is a smooth motherfucker, and he’s hot as hell. He even had some really good moments with Yukimura that made me smile. It’s too bad he continues to exude the creepy scientist vibe between those moments. Even when being romanced, he still threatens you several times, including that scene when he almost cuts you for science.

He is definitely a good, complex character. I won’t deny that. It’s just hard to ship him with Yukimura when she spends basically the entire route feeling scared of him.

Please mellow out, you sexy, vampiric son of a bitch.

#11. Bad Touch: Sakamoto Ryouma

I’ve started reading up on the Shinsengumi and other individuals of the time period, and Sakamoto actually seems to be the most interesting and morally-sound. Too bad his route made me want to fall asleep. It had loads of good historical goodies, but this was bogged down by a romance that many YA books would laugh at.

He’s charming and oh-so-charismatic, to the point where Yukimura apparently feels a bond with him despite only spending a little time with him. He regularly gets into her personal space and refuses to back off when asked, but he just feels so warm and comforting and- *gag*

Yeah. The history and the non-romantic moments were interesting, but I’d rather do personal research for that.

#12. Edgelord McFuckboy: Kazama Chikage

I hated Kazama from the beginning. My feelings only deepened as I played route after route and saw the many, many ways this fucker can creep on Yukimura, kill her friends, and call all humans insects. He’s a racist jerk who wants a convenient broodmare for the McFuckboy Clan.

I will admit that the dialogue with him is always interesting. He is a well-spoken character, and an intriguing one. He acts gentler toward Yukimura in this route, but it’s only because she’s in a position where he’s literally her only option for protection.

He thinks humans are insects, tries to kidnap a woman to impregnate her on multiple occasions, and will gladly kill her friends in order to get to her. What a dick.

Check out highlights from the screenshot batch below, and download it at our press section for more!

Sanosuke Harada

Harada, a well-trained spearman, once committed seppuku to win a drunken bet and lived to tell the tale. He has a way with words that some might find charming and irresistible. Harada, as well as Chizuru, are aware of the instability of the Shinsengumi. Chizuru’s close friends within the Shinsengumi have all suffered injuries and even death, which has caused her great anxiety and uncertainty of her friends’ futures. But even with all the negativity surrounding the Shinsengumi and Chizuru’s personal anxieties, Harada remains levelheaded throughout all of it. Unlike the other bachelors in Edo Blossoms, Harada is able to reassure Chizuru and tries to help Chizuru focus on the necessities of everyday life.

Hachiro Iba

Hachiro Iba’s wealth stems from his father, who owned one of the most prestigious dojos in Edo specializing in the Shingyoto-Ryu style. Because of his upbringing, he is a chivalrous, highly cultured man who is proud of his family history. In Kyoto Winds, it is discovered that Iba, who was once a well-respected member in society, is now a marginalized, demon-handed Fury. Due to his inability to participate in battle, he feels that his pride and honor have been besmirched. Iba and Chizuru, who were once childhood friends, can now reignite their relationship in Iba’s vast mansion.

About Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms

This remastered telling of the beloved visual novel Hakuoki series is a continuation of the Hakuoki™: Kyoto Winds story and focuses on the story set in Edo, the second part in this two-part series. The young Chizuru, determined to find her father, will romance the famous warriors of Shinsengumi through a series of engaging stories and dramatic events. Now, experience new characters, love interests, and episodes in the world of Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms!

Hakuoki: Edo Blossoms Story

Chizuru Yukimura travels from Edo to Kyoto in hopes of searching for her father who had mysteriously vanished. Along the way, she encountered the Shinsengumi, and spent the next four years working with them to locate her father. In 1868, the final year of the Bakumatsu Period, the Shinsengumi, with Chizuru at their side, took part in the Battle of Toba-Fushimi to decide the future of the Tokugawa Shogunate against the rising tide of Imperial Nationalism. Unfortunately, defeat for the Shinsengumi came swiftly at the hands of the Imperial Army, and they retreated back to Edo in shame.

It was a bittersweet homecoming for both Chizuru and the warriors of the Shinsengumi, as the city of Edo resembled very little of its former self, engulfed by the harrowing winds of change that were sweeping through the country. As the Shinsengumi’s survival came under threat, they were faced with a choice: discard their principles, or give up their lives. Some of them had no such choice, and they cloaked themselves in darkness to protect the Shinsengumi’s greatest secret: the Furies.

This is a story about a girl who allies with the warriors of the Shinsengumi, who are struggling to uphold their faith in an era of rapid social change in Japan, and the fate of those who sought to resist that change…
