SPIRIT's Diary

After the fierce battle between Henya and Yūsei Tatsuse of the Kenkaku Heiki, the Kenkaku Heiki fortress on Mt.  Hakodate was completely taken over by Aoshi Shinomori and his companions. “That was far too easy.” That is how Aoshi and the others seem to feel. If so, Tatsuse really made a serious blunder.  He impulsively killed the leader of the Yaminobu simply because he felt looked down on, throwing the Yaminobu’s chain of command into disarray and leaving the fortress defenseless. “The Kenkaku Heiki’s objective is to bring their supreme leader, Shōkun, to Hakodate.” If that is indeed their objective, then Tatsuse may have made an even bigger mistake than Udoku Honda did. Just then, a mysterious figure appears at the fortress. If he is the person “recommended to join the Kenkaku Heiki after Sako,” perhaps he is the third Kenkaku Heiki member to come from outside the region. When the stranger calls Kenshin “Battōsai,” Sanosuke grows suspicious of his identity. But the man’s tri...

Ever since I returned from Germany, for some reason I’ve barely studied English at all. Instead, I’ve spent day after day guzzling alcohol. Even though I know I can’t go on like this, I just can’t resist the cravings and end up buying alcohol at convenience stores and elsewhere. I know full well that things can’t continue this way. At church yesterday, I prayed desperately to God, searching for what I can do and what I should do. The possibilities I see are these: •  At my current company, serve as a strategic adviser to the president, providing information on diseases, medications, and business strategy (although I still haven’t learned to make full use of AI tools such as ChatGPT). •  As an investor, provide capital to ethical companies that contribute to society, such as Ajinomoto. •  Work to promote Japanese culture, particularly Hakkenden (The Eight Dog Chronicles), although this hasn’t earned me a single yen. In any case, I need to learn how to use AI and truly mast...

“I realized that I'm a hime-danshi—that is, someone whose heart races for yuri more than most people.” Once I realized that, I somehow thought I had found a breakthrough that might keep me from overspending on PixAI. And yet yesterday, I went and overspent on PixAI again. I haven't learned my lesson at all. On top of that, I heard from the travel agency yesterday, and perhaps because of the recent turmoil in the Middle East, I found out that the fuel-related charges and travel costs will be higher than I expected. At this rate, in the worst-case scenario, I might have to sell even more of my stocks. (As for social lending [crowdfunding], I can't liquidate it until a certain period of time has passed.) The AI animation I had PixAI generate after, once again, overspending on it was: “Yuri between Kaoru Kamiya and Megumi Takani from Rurouni Kenshin.” This one, too, was something I came up with “just going with the flow,” and had generated “just going with the flow,” I guess.

Kenkaku Heiki, the new enemy of Kenshin, has appeared in Hokkaido Arc. In English, they are called as below: (Reference: Fandom(https://kenshin.fandom.com/wiki/Kenkaku_Heiki)) Commanders Itekura Byakuya: The Eccentric Kanzato Gouto: The Supreme Fuyukai : The Benevolent Shimonji Rurio: The Gem Reisen: The Strange Troopers subordinated by Itekura Doi Mogura: The Earth Gonguu Gougou: The Fake Amachi Mikoto: The Wisdom Isagawa Itoi: unknown Troopers subordinated by Shimonji Ono Tomitaka: The Axe Honda Udoku: The Record Recently, we found troopers' name subordinated by Kanzato. Perhaps, we should call them as Tatsuse Yuusei: The Flying Tadokoro Rokuro: The Love Surenda Manji: The Sting It seems that the names of Kenkaku Heiki in English are a bit different to Japanese in Fandom.

In free time, I've been reading, "Rurouni Kenshin Magazine Reiwa 7th Summer". I've been amazed Mr. Sorachi Hideaki's illustration, the author of Gintama, and Mr. Matsui Yusei's illustration, the author of The Elusive Samurai. Particularly, I've thought no contact between Mr. Sorachi and Mr. Watsuki Nobuhiro. I've thought, that Gintama, The Elusive Samurai and so on has been affected from Rurouni Kenshin/Samurai X. Gintama's gag from Rurouni Kenshin had existed in the comparatively late period. This book also portrays about the detail of Shishio Makoto and Jippongatana. I'll intend to read it for future.
