Plot[]

After living in America and learning English, Manji returns to Japan for ~14 years and teaches English to a young Niijima Shimeta in Tosa, Shikoku. While there, a young man named Ryouma Sakamoto comes looking for him. He wants Manji to accompany him to Kyoto, where political and civil unrest are occurring between the Imperialists and the Shinsengumi. Manji reveals his immortality is still present even though he reached killing 1000 people thirty years prior.

He is more than annoyed with Yaobikuni for apparently lying to him about how to atone for his sins. Ryouma suggests that helping people may be the correct path, since murder didn't work. When he hears this, Manji remembers Rin and accepts. He and Ryouma do not exactly share the same philosophy about the future of Japan, but they both want to help protect other people.
