I don’t know why I thought it would capture the screen rather then the whole page... I can probably find a way for it to capture the screen, I just have to look for it.
This screenshot edit was originally meant to be part of the Katsugeki set of screenshot edits I did from an earlier post, but I couldn’t get it finished in time because I kept flip-flopping back and forth between using the old western uniform design or the new Shinkai design
Ultimately, I decided to use the Shinkai design for this one because I didn’t want to draw over Hijikata’s pocket watch. In both Hakuouki Shinkai and Katsugeki Touken Ranbu you can see the chain of Hijikata’s pocket watch hanging out of his waistcoat. You can also see the chain in the photo of the real-life Hijikata.
Hijikata Toshizō (土方 歳三, May 31, 1835 – June 20, 1869) was a Japanese warrior. As Vice-Commander (副長, Fukucho) of the Shinsengumi, he resisted the Meiji Restoration and fought to his end.
Following the Boshin War in 1868, Kondō and Hijikata led the Shinsengumi in their final battles against the new government and fought in the Battle of Toba–Fushimi in January 1868. The Shinsengumi returned to Edo and was later reformed into a unit known as the Kōyō Chinbutai (甲陽鎮撫隊, "Pacification Corps") and departed from Edo for Kōfu Castle on March 24 upon orders to suppress the uprisings there. On March 29, 1868, Kondō, Hijikata and the Kōyō Chinbutai resisted an attack by the Imperial forces at the Battle of Kōshū-Katsunuma for about two hours but lost, and they were scattered and fled to Edo.
In October 1868, Hijikata and Ōtori Keisuke led Shogunate forces to occupy the fortress of Goryōkaku in the Battle of Hakodate, and continued to eliminate local resistance. When the short-lived Ezo Republic was founded in December, Hijikata was made a Deputy Defence Minister (Vice-minister of the Army).[6] Imperial troops continued to attack by land and sea.
During the Battle of Hakodate, the final battle of the Boshin War, Hijikata summoned his 16-year-old page, Ichimura Tetsunosuke on June 14 (lunar calendar May 5), 1869, to a private room in an inn. There, he entrusted Ichimura with a death poem, his katana, a letter, a photograph of himself, and several strands of his hair. Ichimura was instructed to bear them to the home of Hijikata's brother-in-law Satō Hikogorō in Hino. The death poem entrusted to Ichimura reads:
Though my body may decay on the island of Ezo, my spirit guards my lord in the East.
In the final conflict of the revolution, on June 20 (lunar calendar May 11), 1869, Hijikata was killed near the Ippongi Kanmon (一本木関門) by a bullet that shattered his lower back while leading his troops on horseback. His body was later claimed by Koshiba Chōnosuke and others.
I‘ve seen a lot of fanart of Hijikata as a bunny on pixiv and I was like “ooooohhh I wanna try” and now he’s a husbunny lol (; ̄ω ̄)....ok I’ll see myself out
