Shinsengumi AU

During the Bakumatsu period in Japan, there was a special police force founded in 1864 called the Shinsengumi. The Shinsengumi’s main purpose was to protect the Shogun and the bakufu government from various factions of rebels (loyalists) who sought to overthrow the bakufu. Many of them became the infamous “ronin-hunters” who patrolled the streets and countryside, looking to arrest loyalist ronin to keep them from carrying out actions that would lead to the overthrow of the bakufu.
