Edo's Hottest Celebrity Couples
The most unexpected are always the hottest
by Miura Kaede 19th March of XXXX

There are three types of people when they hear about a new couple:

Those who are already in a relationship, they either share in the spirit of love or simply don't care.
Those who are still single, we always keep a lookout for the people we've been keeping an eye on to see if one of these days, we'll see their names together with another person's. Either we ship it or we cry.
Or, sadly, those who are bitter against reality, they all shut down any signs of others achieving that milestone of happiness.

Which of these three are you?

For the sake of this headline, we're going to be focusing on the second type.

Because a lot of people would be heartbroken by the news that one of the well-known and most wanted bachelors in Edo is now officially off the market.

Did that make you cry right now? No? Then, the next bit definitely would.

This man was voted in Edo's Top 10 Prime Husband Material by Jinzen Times after having moved up in the past five years. He's also always been a contender for the top spot in Top 100 Hottest Men Alive by Hotarizashi Columns. Reappearing after two years of inactivity from him, he is still voted as one of Edo's Greatest Heartthrobs of the Decade. If several someone finally pinged in your radar, then let's be a bit more specific.

While not really a celebrity himself, he's been considered as the face of Edo's famed Shinsengumi ever since its formation. He also appeared in several types of medias as a spokesperson of the organization, often always involved in ongoing investigations or live broadcasts. Most of the criminals even back before they disbanded referred to him as the Demon Vice-Commander, something that hadn't changed even after Shinsengumi's reformation.

Finally ring a bell?

Because if your answer is Hijikata Toshirou, then you're definitely right.

As of yesterday, this slab of handsomeness is already taken.

There had been speculations at first about the nature of his relationship with this person after that joint operation of suppressing the remnants of the Seibouist a month ago. People had been taking notice of them ever since both people had displayed spectacular leadership skills and fighting prowess that had been captured in the news. It was no surprise that the public are keeping an eye on their budding partnership.

From that alone, a lot of you can already guess who his lover is.

Yes, you are absolutely correct.

It's none other than the leader of Yoshiwara's Hyakka, the famed Courtesan of Death, Tsukuyo-san. You think we're lying? Then see for yourselves below.

I wasn't surprised. When you're in a high position like he is, a lot of people are gonna go out there and try to sabotage your reputation. Come on, people. Edo just had a major fight three months ago that destroyed our terminal. AGAIN. My brothers and I had to evacuate from our house because of that. AGAIN. He already said that it's NOT true. Can't we just let this shit die and focus on rebuilding again? This guy looked so stressed out already, we don't need to add to his shit.

Well, I have to agree about others trying to sabotage him. A lot of officers from the Shinsengumi always get a lot of flak from people because they're said to be particularly violent. Heck, I've seen this VC kick a subordinate around before. And I've seen that same VC chase down and arrest a man who committed arson. Though, even after that showdown with the Liberation Army two years ago, I'd say that they still did a damn good job protecting us. People should really stop dragging down the names of officers.

They can totally sue EDO plus for that article. However, they chose not to. As it stands, the fact that he allowed himself to be interviewed was this dude's own way of saying 'STAY THE FUCK OUT OF MY BUSINESS'. Seriously, he just gives that kind of vibe, lmao. I don't even really know a lot about the Shinsengumi or anything about Yoshiwara (never been there, never will) but I just really hate it when journalism is used to make-up stuff about people just doing their own job. Just my opinion, we can actually help by not making a big deal out of it instead. That way, that stupid rumor will finally die down.

Couldn't have said it better myself. The fact that he had to speak on TV just for people to give it a rest is already something. Though, as @rina is here kindly pointed out, people now are gonna start speculating about that lover. Because they apparently don't have their own lives to live. This man wouldn't be able to get the rest or the privacy he wanted. I've been aware of the Shinsengumi and their usual ops and I don't think their chief or VC got this much publicity before. Sucks to be him right now, tbh.

Frankly, I don't like anyone from the Shinsengumi. One of their officers destroyed my shop while fighting this red-haired girl two weeks ago. Sure, they paid for the damages but the fact that property was still destroyed irritates me. But even I will say that people should leave him the fuck alone. It's not a big deal. Go stan your other idols. We have an abundance of them.

Hijikata Toshirou – VC Speculations

So, I said that I'm gonna leave it alone but I just had to say something. After the rumors finally died down with that interview in Oedo TV, I still can't stop thinking about why this guy had to reassure us citizens in the first place.

Sorry for the rambling here but I had to get this out of my chest.

Okay, so I'm a big fan of the Shinsengumi ever since they first appeared in Edo and growing up in Edo, I was actually present when they first started out here. And I've been a fan of this Vice-Commander even more so for his dedication to his job. I'm gonna share something that I've been noticing as a trend with him before and recently. Some are facts and some I only know because I sometimes encounter him from time to time.

I'm not sure if a lot of people know this but while Kondo Isao is the Commander of the Shinsengumi, it was Hijikata Toshirou behind most of the organization's operations. The reason I know this is because I've read articles about Shinsengumi raids (with a 95% success rate) that were led by him. His strategies and dedication had always been acknowledged by the government. In fact, we even have Lord Matsudaira remarking about it here. So, it's safe to say that the people he worked with are far and few in between.

If we wanted to talk about people he'd worked and spent time with before and now, I can point out someone. The Yorozuya (I made a separate post for them). So, here it goes:

• One time, Hijikata Toshirou was caught on TV debating with other otakus while dressed like one himself. Click here to see for yourself (thanks to @ume-no-ski for providing this). The only reason I know this is because my little brother's been avidly watching that show and I did a spit take when someone who claimed to be 'Tosshi' suddenly appeared on TV. Until to this day, I still don't know if this was a ploy to sniff out enemies because the following week, we heard about them having some sort of battle against a faction of Jouishishi [Edit: So, someone pointed out that it couldn't be a ploy because 'Tosshi' participated in that Otsu Official Fanclub contest as well. Thanks @Megane_aura for the info.) and he was sighted working with the Yorozuya group during this timeline.

• Both of them are customers of Masato-san who died years ago (bless your soul). One time, I delivered some tsukemono to the old lady from my old man when I saw the VC and Yorozuya boss at the shop. The old lady told me that they're regulars and had their own trademark meals in the menu. I didn't really think anything about it at first but the more I became the errand girl for my old man, the more I saw them together having meals there. Trust me, you can't miss them. They're loud when they argue. Even today, they still frequent there.

• To continue from that, when my fam went to Masato-san's wake when he died, these two were also there. Though, granted, we didn't stay long but I saw the two of them helping the old lady in carrying Masato-san's casket.

• I'm sure that some of you are also Owee fans, right? So was my little brother. I remember having to stand in line just to get my hands on one for his birthday. So, back then, I was actually a little pissed that the owner made acquiring one into a contest instead. And guess who were competing? That's right, the two of them again. See this pic from the company's website.

• Okay, this next one is good. How the hell can I forget when I saw these two men enter the café dancing and in handcuffs? They actually made my day because I was there in the middle of a date that my old man forced on me. See here. (I don't know why I took a pic of it back then but now, I'm glad I did). So, here I was listening to Hachi-san boast about his livestock when these two come in and the fucking Yorozuya boss has a flower in his mouth? It was pure gold, to be honest. Also, kind of awkward when I spied on them on the way to the restroom STILL in those handcuffs. Even now, I still don't know the real story behind that one and I'm kind of dying to know just for the hilarity.

• This one is from Maeda-san who works at the bank. Since this is not from me, you can take it with a grain of salt. Two years ago, his workplace was taken hostage by a bunch of thugs in mohawks. So, there was this permy guy (I assume to be the Yorozuya) who sweet-talked those thieves into releasing the hostages while the VC apparently tried to trick them. He didn't know how it went down since by the time authorities had arrived, the two were already gone along with the criminals. (Edit: Apparently, the gang was arrested after by the Shinsengumi after the VC infiltrated their ranks, thanks @S-doist for the info.)

• These two share drinks sometimes at our bar, the one ran by my old man even now. They still argue loudly but it's not how one would if they really hated the person? I don't know how to describe it since the old man doesn't want me staying out there in front of drunk men for too long. Even after two years, they're still that same arguing idiots that I sometimes encounter here in Edo.

• Then there was this situation before that TV segment when I crossed paths with the VC who was walking out of a café one time. I thought nothing of it until I almost bumped into the Yorozuya who left in a hurry and went after him. Now, this wouldn't be memorable but I saw the scary face the Yorozuya was making and you better believe me when I say that this man usually had this apathetic look in his face. It looked surreal to see that scary face on him.

I could point out a lot of other things but this was the person I saw most with Hijikata Toshirou outside of the Shinsengumi. Granted, I might've just not seen him with other people. Also, for the record, the Yorozuya group had helped out my old man before so I know that they're trustworthy. I'm not saying that they're romantically involved but I can't just stop thinking what if? When I first thought of them two together and before I wrote this post, I can't stop noticing them when I see them together. Even if just walking together or sharing drinks at our bar.

Now, I know I'm overreaching and this is just the raving of a closet fangirl, but hey! At least they have a good relationship right there.

(P.S. I purposely removed the Yorozuya boss' name, just in case ;D)

The Yorozuya had helped us before too! They're very funny and even though they can be really destructive, they're really dedicated to helping people! Though, I've met their boss. You're right to say that he and the VC had spent a lot of time together but I just don't see someone like Hijikata Toshirou dating someone like him. They'd be like oil and water and might be more prone to exploding if you push them together. Just saying.

Rising Stars of the Industry
You have to know them to do them
by Asami Kentarou 14th April of XXXX

Due to the recent rebuilding in Edo, the entertainment industry took a hard hit.

Nevertheless, in this tragic time, the strength of a person would shine the brightest.

At this point, we people look up to those who would shoulder our wills.

Such was the fortitude displayed by our new rising celebrity. The infamous Oba-Z. The man who was said to be the wandering spirit of the former Prime Minister, Donald Zurump. However, we all know that he's merely trying to watch over what the former Prime Minister left behind and is always looking out for the citizens of Edo. As it is now, he's been sighted to randomly show up in order to fend off criminals. Such is his hard work.

To the industry's delight, this man had agreed to work as one of the new faces of justice here in Edo.

One of our employees managed to get an interview from him. See below transcription (non-verbatim):

EDOPlus: So, what are your recent projects this coming month?

Oba-Z: I was asked to star in a few commercials.

EDOPlus: I see. Why did you take up former Prime Minister Donald Zurump's legacy? Aren't you scared? His death was rather violent and if you continue to promote him yourself, you might end up in the same predicament as him.

Oba-Z: It does not matter. Zurump is always watching us!

EDOPlus (clears throat): Okaaay, got it. So, can you tell us anything about yourself?

Oba-Z: If you forget yourselves and stray from the righteous path, the departed spirit patriot, Oba-Z, will come to hand down divine punishment!

EDOPlus (clears throat again): That isn't about yourself exactly but that'll do, I guess. Any other message?

Oba-Z: I just want to give my congratulations to some dear friends of mine, Hijikata Toshirou and Sakata Gintoki. It might be too late coming from me but I'd like to tell them that there is no shame in admitting to your relationship. If anyone tries to get in between you, then Oba-Z will personally hunt them down and dispose of them for you.

EDOPlus (nervously): I-I see. Wait, did you say Hijikata Toshirou? The one who beat up our– the one who was featured in last issue's article?

Oba-Z: That's right. Though, I'm afraid that he's not dating Tsukuyo-dono.

EDOPlus: Got it! Thanks for your time, Oba-Z! We look forward to your future works!

Oba-Z: Thank you for having me here!

What's new and cool?
Be updated on the trends
by Masaoka Rukiko 27th April of XXXX

As times move forward, so does the current norm of society.

Since a lot of activities are halted in lieu of Edo's reconstruction, people have to find new ways to spend their time. As it is, technology had always been the one good thing that the Amanto had brought to the era of samurai. And with this also comes the entrance of social media platforms. We already have Tw*tter, Inst*gr*m, T*mblr, F*c*book, R*ddit, Y*uT*be, and the like. This also became a way to make communication convenient.

However, this also became a way for rumors and gossip to spread even farther and much quicker.

Such is the times of advancing platforms.

Here are some of the trending hashtags in the whole land of Samurai:

#OtsuOfficial

#GinHijiGin

#ObaZrules

#PrincessSoyoBESTPrimeMinister

#EdoRevivalTime

As you can see, these are the current topics that most citizens are discussing. If you're still not in the know, you can just go search them on Tw*tter and even T*mblr. And you'll see other topics branching out from there.

megumin – 2 days ago

GinHijiGin – caught on camera

So, ever since that video from Hanano Saki, I've been researching anything I could about this trending ship. Also, before I share any of my findings, I would like to point out that it's been weeks and we see no interview from Hijikata Toshirou denying it ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) even though those posts were taken down eventually. Just to be safe, reblog my shit so they'd have a hard time. You can't stop us!

Before I start, I would love to reveal the goldmine that I uncovered in Inst*gr*m. From the Yorozuya side, I discovered about the accounts of Gura_san, Otsu_star, PrettyOtae, and of course, ObaZOfficial. From the Shinsengumi side, I have S-ougo, KONGori, and even OfficialShinsengumi. Yes, the same OfficialShinsengumi trending on twitter.

Let me give it to you ladies and gents:

• [Pic 1 – a picture of a table with food] credits to Gura_san
  You can see here that they have four meals. Now, this wouldn't mean anything normally as the Yorozuya trio could be eating with anyone. BUT we can see that the tonkatsu(?) or was it fried rice(?) bowl is full to the brim with a huge glob of mayonnaise. If you've visited any of the OfficialShinsengumi accounts, you would see in some of the pictures that Hijikata always had a bowl of something with huge and frankly disgusting amounts of mayonnaise over it. Then there's Gura_san's caption, "Gonna eat lots because it's someone's treat!"

• [Pic 2 – a picture of Otsu with her fans] credits to Otsu_star
  Remember @iamtrash's post about Hijikata being secretly an otaku? Well, we've got it here. Apparently, Otsu_star went with him to a small con for Otsu and other idols. This picture was actually from the official Otsu website. See that man on the third most left? The one with the red bandana and shades? Doesn't look like Tosshi? Fine. Then look at the guard of the sword by his shoulder, does that look familiar now? Yes, yes. Same one as Hijikata Toshirou's.

  So, I know that Hijikata wasn't here in the picture BUT look at the shades on top of the Yorozuya boss's head! Doesn't it look like the same shades Hijikata wore back at the con? It stood out to me because of the golden frames. Pretty distinct.

  Now, I know this might be overreaching for others but look at those dark pants and feet in socks propped up on the Yorozuya boss's lap!! That could only be from one person, right?

  Here, look at the white sleeve with blue swirls at the corner of the camera. Sure, it's kinda blurred but it's the sleeve of the Yorozuya boss, right?

  Don't they look awfully close here? I know that they're just out drinking but they're really waaaaaaaaaaaaay closer than necessary. Also, I would just like to point out that this shit's awfully cute. Okita just holding up a peace sign with that look on his face, ahhhhhh.

• [Pic 7 – a table full of paperwork] credits to S-ougo
  Now, I know that there's nothing incriminating in the picture. That's fine because the caption was what caught my attention. "Hijikata-san, you have a lot of work waiting for you. I hope you enjoyed your date." And I'd like to point out that this was posted the same day as Gura_san's photo of that table of food. Maybe it's coincidence but we've already established the fact that they're hanging out with each other already, so.

  Look at the laughing pair of idiots in the background. Don't they just look sweet? Yes, they do.

• [Pic 9 – Hijikata's Birthday!] credits to OfficialShinsengumi
  It was a candid shot of the celebration! But look who was it that had his arm slung over Hijikata's shoulder right there? THE FUCKING YOROZUYA BOSS.

So, some might say that they’re just very good friends as a lot of people are insisting. I can even accept the fangirl label at this point if it'll make you feel better. But I just really, really love their relationship at this point. It didn't have to be romantic, if it comes to it. I met the Yorozuya and they're really a nice bunch. So, if anything, they sound like that they would be good things to happen to our resident Shinsengumi Vice-Commander.

[Edit: Also, no, we're not stalking them IRL, get over yourselves. There might be us shipping them but only here in social media because we don't want to accidentally meddle in their actual relationships.]

YOU ARE THE REAL QUEEN, MEGUMIN!!! THIS IS GOLD! OMG, I wouldn't have thought to check on inst* and these are all so precious! I LOVE THEM! Also, for the record, I only follow this ship in the net cause it's awkward to meet Hijikata IRL and meet his glaring eyes in person. I think most of the shippers are just plain scared of incurring his wrath. SO FOR YOU TO STILL POST THIS, I SALUTE YOU!

There's the Yorozuya! I'm actually surprised that they posted this one because of all the rumors and speculation on their relationship. But, like you said in your post, regardless if they were romantically involved or not, their bond is beautiful.
