Fuuun Ishin Dai Shogun (風雲維新ダイショーグン)

Nagasaki, 1875

Looks like they're here.

This is the great battle that will decide the fate of Japan!

Let's go, Hyakusuke.

Right, Boss!

We Give Up You Are Our Leader

Here, here. Take this!

Congratulations on Uniting Nagasaki

Boss Keiichiro!

You have finally unified Nagasaki! Congratulations!

Complete Conquest of Nagasaki Kuyama Alliance

Thank you, thank you.

No.

I'm really glad it worked out.

Now we're under Boss Keiichiro's protection.

Th-They're huge!

She's got the biggest tits on the island.

I-I'm Hyakusuke, the boss's right hand. Hi.

Um, Keiichiro-san,

I've loved you for a long time...

If you don't have a girlfriend, I would...

No! This is all wrong!

Boss, what's angered you?

Toramaru!

You call yourself a kabukimono?

You waved the white flag before we even started fighting.

That's not a fight! That's just ass-kissing!

That's exactly right, Boss.

What?

Well, you're the guy who took over most of Nagasaki.

There's no way we could beat you...

So if you're gonna go to the mat with someone, it should be her.

That's even more fun than a fight.

Um, it's actually my first time, so please be gentle...

Damn you.

Boss!

Boss, what's wrong?

Today's a day to celebrate,

and you could've made that girl with the big boobs your girlfriend.

So this is all it is?

This is what it means to unite Nagasaki?

It's small!

It's small! Small!

Too small!

Steam became the cornerstone of civilization

in the Edo period, giving rise to the creation of massive machines called Steam Puppets.

The prestige of the Tokugawa Shogunate was unshakable,

and there wasn't even the slightest hint of rebellion.

However...

Dai Shogun

Great Revolution

W-Wait! I'm not a virgin!

It's true!

Don't!

Episode 1 Succession Strife, Keiichiro Appears!

It's impossible.

Yeah. Impossible.

Won Defeated Won

Totally impossible!

You've taken over Nagasaki completely.

No matter where we look, there's no one left who'll fight you.

Which means

there are no enemies left for me in this city—

Grannie?!

You two are skipping out on work again?

No! This is...

Guess there's still one enemy...

It'll take more than that!

Now get back to stirring the bath water!

No way!

I'm not dealing with the customers at that lukewarm bathhouse!

Nonsense!

Our baths are steaming hot, fool!

Otomi.

She raised Keiichiro.

Keiichiro worked at a bathhouse that she ran.

Women's Men's

Cherry Blossom Baths

At the time, there were no baths in houses,

so bathhouses were a big business everywhere.

And Otomi's was one of the best.

But Keiichiro spent his days fighting,

and never did a decent day's work in his life.

What's wrong with everybody?

Isn't there anyone who'll fight me?

There's somebody!

And he's nearly naked, too! He's got guts!

Save me!

What?

What the hell are you doing?

Is there a problem?

There sure is!

That thing's dangerous! Stop waving it aro—

It's his fault for showing me that.

Showing you what?

I didn't really mean anything by it...

The only way to make up for showing me that ugly thing is to cut it off!

What's going on?

Everybody freeze.

Keiichiro!

Are you getting into fights again?

Tch. The cops?

Where do you see a fight? Are you even looking?!

I don't need to. You're coming with me.

W-W-Wait a second.

It's not me! It's that woman!

She was arguing about something...

Woman? Where?

H-Huh?

All I see is a naked guy sobbing.

Wait... you're not just fighting, you're raping men—

I am not!

We can talk about it at the station!

Come with me!

It wasn't me!

There was this woman!

So that's the guy...

We'll squeeze more out of you later.

Nagasaki Police Office

Look forward to it!

You idiots! I didn't do it!

Damn it.

Why'd they have to grab me?

They thought you were the sex house murderer?

And I'm not, damn it!

I'm trying to take over Japan solely by fighting.

I'll never kill anybody!

Don't get the wrong idea about me!

I'm really surprised, though, Boss.

Wanted: Sex House Murderer

I never imagined you were into guys.

I-I'm not!

This is all that woman's fault, I'm telling you!

Rage

That bitch! I'll capture her and prove my innocence!

So what was she like?

She was good.

Good?

The way she handled that dagger...

None of the kabukimono I fought ever moved like that...

I don't mean how she moved. I mean her looks!

Did she have big boobs? Huge hooters? Tremendous ta-tas?

Big boobs!

That's it! And a bright red kimono!

Big boobs and a bright red kimono?

Could that be...

The girl who was at your party earlier?

What?!

Cherry Blossom Baths

I'll leave the money here.

Thanks.

Where'd you go, woman?

Too old.

Come out, woman!

Boss!

You'll never find her this way!

And if your grandma finds out...

That doesn't matter.

I'm gonna grab that woman and clear my name!

But if she's already inside the baths...

The baths?

Then I'll just drag her out!

That's even more impossible!

If you bust into the women's bath, your grandma will...

Don't worry! I've got got a great idea!

A great idea?

The perfect way to find her.

Police

Meanwhile...

This is the sixth one, and it's the same profile.

I can't believe Keiichiro is into men.

Sir? Sir?

Are you listening?

What?

The victim's another 17-year-old boy.

I think it's safe to assume he was slain during the middle of the act.

The middle of the act?

The act... do you mean he was doing it with Keiichiro?

Huh?

If he's into guys, we can assume he would be sleeping with them...

Actually, someone said they saw a person wearing a bright red kimono, too...

So it's probably a woman.

No way! He's into cross-dressing, too?

No, I just said it's a woman.

I've got it! I see it!

The criminal has to be that pervert Keiichiro!

And this is really gonna help us find that woman?

Of course.

These are my special mechanical binoculars.

Take a look!
