Changes: Kiheitai

Revision as of 02:54, 4 October 2015

The Kihetai (鬼兵隊, lit. Army of Demon Soldiers) is an Jouishishi extremist group, whose main goal was to destroy the world that had become "rotten". Their current goal is to put an end to current Tendoshuu's control of the Bakufu government.

History

Originally an army of volunteers founded by Takasugi Shinsuke during the last years of the Joui War, the Kiheitai used to consist of young men who wanted to parcitipate in the war. One of these soldiers was Hiraga Saburou, the son of Hiraga Gengai. After the samurai had lost the war, an amount of Kiheitai members, including Saburou, was executed in a post-war purge by the Bakufu. As a result, the group went underground and became more Jouishishi-extreme. Since then, it focused on overthrowing the Bakufu by any methods possible and became wanted criminals.

Patriot Reunion Party Arc

To kill Takasugi's former comrades, the Kiheitai, mainly Takechi Henpeita and Kijima Matako, set up a trap under the guise of a "Patriot Reunion Party." Assuming the name of Kurokono Tasuke, a presumably deceased Joui participant, they invited Katsura Kotarou, Sakata Gintoki and Sakamoto Tatsuma to the party, where they used sleep-inducing gas to capture Katsura and Sakamoto.

As a horrified Gintoki kept himself in the tatami room, Takechi and other members, disguising as basketball players, cornered and attacked him with gas. However, they were defeated by Gintoki, and Matako was forced to release the other two samurai by the real Kurokono.

Prior to the death of the 17th Ikeda Yaemon, the Kiheitai had, presumably, affiliated with the Hitotsubashi Faction.
