Revision as of 21:20, 25 November 2016
The Jouishishi are a loose organization of swordsmen whose goals are the overthrow of the government and the expulsion of the Amanto. They were both the recurring antagonists and protagonists in the Gintama setting.
Operations
In order to reach their goals, they will resort to any means to get their message across. These means can include kidnappings, bombings, murders, and media propaganda. The first three are usually focused on anything government or Amanto related while the last is to influence civilians to their cause. It is implied that in many cases, they are funded by businessmen, government officials and even some Amanto organizations.
They may be well connected enough to be aware of any information they come across, whether it involves any government movements or what is going on with any other rebel groups.
History
When the Old Jouishishi lost the Joui Wars ten years before the start of the series, some members scattered across Japan and secretly tried to gather dissidents to continue the fight. During the years, they will constantly plague the bakufu with their terrorist activities. To the point that four years before the start of the series, the bakufu formed the Shinsengumi to curtail any Joui activity, which is mostly concentrated in the government's base city, Edo. Since, Joui activity had constantly ebbed and flowed.
Members
It should be noted that the Jouishishi are a loose organization of swordsmen and as such may not always see eye to eye in their goals. Due to having no hierarchical structure, there are many groups within that try to destroy another to become stronger or for a purge. Not all human terrorist groups are Jouishishi.
Katsura Faction 桂一派
Moderate Factions
Katsura faction is perhaps one of the famous Joui factions along with Kiheitai. They were an extremist faction usings bombing and explosive until Katsura changed their ways thanks to Gintoki and other people in Edo. Now they use peaceful methods but in episode 219, Katsura planned a petty operation where they plan to head over to Shinsengumi headquarters and turn the toilet paper roll backwards.
They all carry a Nmaibo bar as a smokebomb or use Takeshi's Super Monkey Adventure as a throwing object.
Within Katsura's faction, as part of his recruitment policy he conducts "Jouishishi Employment Examination" 攘夷志士採用試験 for candidates who wish to join his faction. The examinations comprise face-to-face interview, written examination and for those who pass the afore-mentioned 2 parts, they can proceed to the practical examination, conducted by Jouishishi's in-house trainer called Dragon Leader, assisted by Debugon and Katsura Kotarou himself. The entire examination sequence was showcased in Episode 109.
A shogun Shige Shige took an interest with this faction, he and Katsura becomes rival with a same path on restoring Edo from corruptions, deeming if one of between thse two dies first, one will look over the Edo's peace, such as from Tendoshu and a corrupted inner circle within the Bakufu. This is the first Joui faction to gain a respect from Shige Shige, and sees him worthy to be as a Shogun, thus no longer have no interest killing him, instead beating him in a rivalry ways.
With Shige Shige is dead because of the assassin sent by Nobu Nobu and Tendoshu to poisoned him into dying state. Katsura and his faction honors Shige Shige's wisdom for having a same purpose on restoring Edo in a peaceful way. Also the same time during Nobu Nobu's tyranny, Katsura's faction not only gained a respect from Shige Shige, also one of Shige Shige's rightful enforcers, such as Mimawarigumi and Shinsengumi, to put an end a sudden return of corrupted Bakufu led by Nobu Nobu, since it became similar during a time of Sada Sada's rule, and Tendoshu's tyrannies.
