Making For The Ikedaya
The naval academy in Kobe is finally completed. Ryoma is actively engaged in naval training with other trainees, while Kameyata, Ryoma's childhood friend who was sent to Katsu's school from the Tosa Royalist Party, is worried about his repressed party members. Back in Tosa, Takechi is heavily interrogated by Goto. Kameyata sneaks out of the academy to meet a group of extreme antiforeigner supporters from Choshu at Ikedaya, an inn in Kyoto. Ryoma heads for Kyoto to bring Kameyata back.

PLOT SUMMARY
Taken from discussion amongst fans and reposted here for understanding of the plot. Spoilers alert.


Choujiro wedding.Kobe naval school is finally open. Oryo thoughts on Ryoma. Ryoma now tried to talk with Kameyata. That guy (Hiroaka Yuta) who seems quite arrogant. Yataro is being really nice now. They let Izo talk to Takechi just to see what they'd say.Ryoma going to Ikedaya.The plan to burn down Kyo. massacare..... The shinsengumi doing.

And they continue to hunt down the joui fraction next week. More torture too. Otose appears and Ryoma calls her Mum the first time he sees her. Ryoma singing to the kids. Ryoma on the boatride with fireflies.

SOME SNIPPETS
Question : did Kameyata seppuku himself? The answer posted as it was discussed. BY THE WAY MAJOR SPOILER AS THIS IS MEANT FOR EPISODE 24.
By Mashamasha

Kameyata committed seppuka, that's why when ryoma found him, he asked him why he need to do that. And you can see there's a piece of cloth covering the sword (anyway, if he is killed by Shinsengumi, there should not be that piece of cloth)

The story did not explain why he need to seppuku (or i have missed it?) but I just checked in wiki, it is said he managed to run away from Ikedaya, but he was badly injured. He went to Choushuuhan residence for help, they didn't let him in, that's why he seppuku outside their residence .


By Izumisano

I noticed both of Kameyata's hands tight on the short blade, which is why I asked if he had committed seppuku. But the english link above says he was slain. According to NHK preview for next week, Kameyata was slain by the Shinsengumi.

By Mashamasha

there's also discussion in 2 channel about the reason why he need to seppuku and some replied that there is bit more explanation in the NHK book, and basically it's said it's because he felt helpless and hopeless by the massacre in Ikedaya and being rejected by Choushuuhan residence when he asked for help

And the following taken from HK Fans Discussion Forums. It looks tiring! Poor Masha, he still has that energy to go all "fierce" like that?

RATINGS REPORT
Thanks to HK Fans  Discussion Forums

19.2%

You must wonder why the ratings is below 20%. Mashamasha of HK Discussion Fans Forums has an explanation ...

many said that this is the reason why its rating is not that high, though they agree it is a good drama (they all praise the production, the actors/actresses, just some comments on the script). People prefer watching lighter things at sunday night, especially it is their dinner time
