This year has treated the weebs with much different anime and some with the classic tropes, and if the topic of the classic is said, how can shonen be overlooked? Such is the Bucchigire! Shine On! Bakumatsu Bad Boys anime. This anime is fresh out of the oven and has already gained a fan following worldwide. People are really invested in the story because of the twists and turns that make it different from the overused shonen plots while still keeping it close to its roots.
This anime is set in the time when samurai ruled Japan. With the exception of one survivor, the Shinsengumi security force has been all but destroyed by an unidentified enemy. Shinsengumi replacements have been chosen from a group of seven convicts. An under-cover replacement mission is started in order to keep everything under control in Kyoto. It includes genres including Martial arts, Swordsman, Medieval and Feudal Japan, and Original Work.
Ichibanboshi, whose family was also slaughtered by the Masked Demons, is in charge of the group of seven criminals picked to stand in for the murdered Shinsengumi members. He takes on the role of Commander Isami Kondo’s replacement and, together with the other replacements, pursues the Masked Demons to exact revenge for the murders of his parents. As their bizarre tale begins, ex-criminals arise to re-establish law and order. The time has come to shine brightest!

Bucchigire! Shine On! Bakumatsu Bad Boys Episode 10 Recap: Introduction to some Americans
He is chosen to be the person who will have to save humanity while being deeply ingrained in its evils by the head of the cloaked demons. Since his motivation is solely political, he actually wants to keep the old order in place and stop Japan from opening up to foreigners.
The Honorable Shôzan Sakuma also comprehends this. He offers to restart his life with his free choice when the young man follows to kill him. Is it feasible to think independently without despising oneself, though, after committing mass murder, like your mother?
The Shinsengumi members set out on a mission to guard a foreign vessel that has anchored in the harbor. In this episode, Americans are introduced. They are portrayed as arrogant and somewhat primitive. Rashmaru’s masked demons have chosen to commandeer this ship, and our companions will be powerless to stop them.
The terrorists’ strategy is straightforward: they want to incite hostility toward immigrants by making it seem as though they are to blame for assaults. It is indeed an opportunity to check their brand-new cannons, which are “haunted” by the spirits of individuals this tribe has slaughtered. Because of how potent these “spiritual weapons” are, the aristocrats who were still hesitant to confront the Shogun joined this anti-foreigner crusade.
The fratricidal battle being fought between the two former loving siblings, who have become adversaries, is being led by the Masked Demons through the pretext of nationality. Rashmaru is never tranquil again; his slumber is one that is interrupted. Although it may be too late for him, we get the impression that he is unsure.
Even though his heart tries to steer him in the right direction when his brother Ichibanboshi agrees to fight beside him in the Shinsengumi, the young fellow is unable to shake the hood gang’s hold over him. He is unable to forgive himself for the many deaths he has caused, and his nightmares, in particular, make him remember the day he murdered his parents. Ichibanboshi rescues him when he narrowly avoids sinking.
He briefly harbors some optimism and starts to think that Tsukito will emerge. Unfortunately, our friend’s brother is indeed completely lost, and he can only mourn in the dark abyss of sorrow.
