Character Description: Shigure Takimi
An Ex-Aizu Samurai in the Revolution, Takimi was a great Swordsman. He was best friends with a Manslayer named Gentatsu, another Aizu Samurai.
On one night, during the last days of the Shogunate, Shigure, Gentatsu, and the rest of the Clan received word that the Choshu and Satsuma clans were forming an alliance and that both leaders were having a meeting. The Clan narrowed it down to two places, one Gentatsu believed was the meeting place, while Shigure believed it was the other. the Clan Split, each half heading to the two locations.
When Gentatsu and his group reached the location, which was the meeting place, they were decimated and the Choshu and Satsuma clan leaders escaped. Gentatsu fought with a Manslayer from the Choshu Clan. The Battle came to an instant, and the only thing Shigure saw when he arrived was Gentatsu being cut down by the Ryu Tsui Zen, a Hiten Mitsurugi technique.
The man was...Hitokiri Battousai...
Had Shigure went with him, the clans would never aligned, the battle of Aizu avoided, and the Shougunate would of never fallen. It would of been a different world. Now Shigure blames hinmself for Gentatsu's death.
