Two mysteries, Garner's promise and what Garner said before Tashiro died.
What exactly is Ghana's covenant? If bangs represent youth, does it also mean innocence? The agreement he made with others is probably not only about bangs, but about innocence. For me to drink, the first setting is that Ghana knew Okita before.
Okita said that Kondo and Hijikata raised him, so he was an orphan and was adopted by his masters. Garner is a rich family, and is Saburo, the youngest son is the most spoiled. But why did he join the Shinsengumi? Is it really like he said that he can kill people? Why do you say forgive me when you execute this sentence? Why do you feel like you have no future? A perverted murderer should be very devoted and proud, and maybe he will make killing his life's purpose. Clearly lying.
If Garner and Okita had known each other before, it would have been great.
The young son of a wealthy family and the adopted son of a samurai met, perhaps only because of a relationship in childhood. It can be seen from Okita fishing with children. He is a very lively and innocent person, so it is obvious that he loves innocence.
What if he was the one who had made a pact with Garner? For example, he praised Garner for his innocence, so Garner promised him that he would keep this innocence forever. Representing young bangs is a symbol of innocence in Ghana's heart, but his innocence was stained by the persecution of Tashiro and others. So he cared more about bangs and refused to give up. For example, why don't you cut your bangs when you are in a duel and your head hurts? It would be more convenient to cut the bangs if he wanted to heal the injury, but he still didn't let them cut it, because that was the afterglow he promised, in order to show Okita that he had not forgotten his childhood promise.
But does Okita remember? His life is full of blood and fire, but there is more laughter and friendship. Whenever the camera swipes at him, he is always smiling. Near the end, he suddenly told the story of the alliance of chrysanthemums. Although he said that he thought it was a love story between two men, isn't the other side of the story an agreement? Don't make a pact with someone who promises lightly, but make an alliance with someone who promises a lot of money.
If you ignore the eye-catching masculinity argument for a moment, the promise will emerge.
I take it upon myself to think that what Garner said before Tashiro's death may have been to the effect: After killing you, I will no longer be stained.
So he would tell Tufang to keep his bangs for a while, because when Tashiro was alive, bangs were a symbol of his pure promise. As long as Tashiro died and the white jade was flawless, it didn't matter whether the bangs existed or not. Tashiro's negligence is also very simple. He probably doesn't believe that Garner is really ruthless to him. After all, Garner let him go when they were together before, and even willingly lost to him in front of the commander. But now he knows that Garner hates him, and I think that's the reason for his despair and trance.
Okita's answer to Hijikata's question was obviously a prevarication, saying that Garner may be speaking a secret language that only the two of them know. I think he only recognized Garner at this time, but he was picked on by Hijikata and said a lot of masculine things before, so he subconsciously avoided the matter of having a relationship with Garner. It is indeed a secret language, but it is not from Garner and Tashiro, but from Garner and his childhood promise.
So on the way back, he used an excuse to leave, he smiled and walked briskly, not like he was going to kill someone. He remembered that Garner was the child who promised innocence, and he was going to recognize an old friend. At this time, Hijikata recalled Garner's words and deeds and the words that he could hardly hear but was prevaricated by Okita. Maybe he understood that Okita and Garner were old acquaintances.
So he said: Okita, it's not that you like Ghana, but Ghana likes you.
How do you feel about Tokaji? According to Okita, we know that there is no second person between Hijikata and Kondo who can intervene. Someone intervened before, but Hijikata killed him. This time, it is obvious that Kondo has bowed down in front of Ghana. Okita thinks that it is Hijikata who also pity Ghana's beauty, so-called I still feel pity, and it's an old thief. But Ghana has always been an unstable factor in the team. Kondo took a fancy to him, and the players competed endlessly because of him.
Now, the child with a bright smile, brought up by Tufang, is also lying for Garner. Arbitrary excuses, he left happily, although he said that he was not masculine, but he was watching the story of the Chrysanthemum Alliance. He believed that Okita would not like men, but could Okita resist his love for beauty?
As soon as the camera turned, the earthwork who was walking on the bridge to the left was facing a cherry tree on the right side of the screen. He spat on the ground, blaming Garner's beauty for being possessed by a monster under the play of a man, and with a distant wailing, he drew his sword and cut down the cherry tree.
You know what I mean, Okita was definitely not the one who killed Garner. Although he said that he hated masculine people, it was obviously a shameful remark that he was suspected of not being a straight man. When I answered this question at the beginning, didn't I say that I have nothing to do with it? In terms of the possibility of the murder, after Okita left for an excuse, Hijikata was also alone, and he did not have an alibi.
So I think Hijikata killed Garner because he disrupted the team's law, and more importantly, Garner liked Okita. And almost none of the people who had a relationship with Ghana had a happy death. How could Hijikata endure his most promising child, and Okita also fell into that kind of situation?
So he decided that Garner had been possessed by a monster and killed him. Spitting in disgust, he heard Okita's mournful roar facing the corpse of his old friend, he chopped down the blossoming but immature cherry tree with one knife.
Poor Ghana, I saw my beloved come when I was dying. As for Okita, he may not have fallen in love with Garner, but he has already remembered that he is the one who promised Garner. Maybe Garner told him when he was dying that he did not break his promise and washed his own blood to smear the shame of innocence. How could Okita not mourn and cry.
