  Late Tokugawa shogunate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Late Tokugawa Shogunate (Japanese: 幕末 Bakumatsu) is the period between 1853 and 1867 during which Japan ended its isolationist foreign policy called sakoku and modernized from a feudal shogunate to the Meiji government.
The second was to be expressed in the expression sonnō jōi, or "revere the Emperor, expel the barbarians".
The turning point of the Bakumatsu was during the Boshin War and the Battle of Toba Fushimi when pro-shogunate forces were defeated.

 The Last Blade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Last Blade (幕末浪漫 月華の剣士: Bakumatsu Roman Gekka no Kenshi which roughy tranlates as "Bakumatsu Romance The Swordsman of Moon Flower"), or LB for short, is a fighting game series created by SNK for the Neo-Geo arcade and home system.
The game takes place during the Bakumatsu era of Japan, and also has a take on Japanese mythology.
More likely, however, it is meant to be indicative of the Western influences which were prevalent in Japanese culture at the time.

 History   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
In the story, Kenshin was a legendary samurai of the Bakumatsu, fighting on the side of the revolutionaries.
The Bakumatsu was a violent period in Japanese history between the Tokugawa (1603-1867) and Meiji eras.
Tales of samurai battling in the Bakumatsu are all too common, but Kenshin stands out from the rest.

 Affection in Bakumatsu Japan - Anime Academy Lounge
Kuroneko, the Bakumatsu no Doran is the period in Japanese history encompassing the overthrow of the Tokugawa Shogunate and the reestablishment of the Emperor.
Forgot to add that Bakumatsu means "End of the Bakufu", Bakufu being the shogun's government.
It would be very hard to find actual historical texts detailing social mannerisms during the Bakumatsu since it was a military and political revolution after all.

 WHCsenryu: Bakamutsu and Meiji Underground Verse Forms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
Focusing specifically on comic haiku (senryū), graffiti verse (rakusho), and popular songs (hayariuta), it explores correspondences of class and genre during this period of ideological transformation from the last years of the Tokugawa Shogunate to the modern nation of Japan.
In the bakumatsu period, the sword was not only a symbol of samurai sovereignty, but also of their laziness and uselessness (first as “warriors” during a time of peace, then in the face of the more advanced Western armories).
A qualitative shift in the role of satirical verse is related to the identification of the individual with the interests of the nation.

 Rurouni Kenshin Review Pages
Saito Hajime whose skill hasn't dropped since the Bakumatsu period draws Kenshin to remember how he once fought as Himura Battousai; and the fight then begins in earnest.
The fight between Saito and Kenshin is supposed to represent the level of fighting which happened in the Bakumatsu period in Kyoto.
This along with a screaming Kaoru who is completely unheard illustrates most clearly how Saito and Kenshin are fighting in a world of their own; where the only voices which can reach the fighters would be from Bakumatsu Kyoto.

This is a superb game, also known as Oni 2 since it is the continuation of Kishin Korinden Oni.

In Bakumatsu-den, you play as a soldier in an opposing force to the Shinsengumi, the Bakumatsu.
Outside of a change in perspective (you can determine for yourself which is "evil" and which is "good"), Bakumatsu inherits much from Shinsengumi, including all basic gameplay systems.
Cinemas are now fully voiced, fixing a big area of dullness from the original.

 Rurouni Kenshin Review Pages
This episode (and likewise this story's counterpart in the manga) mainly serve to give a hint about Kenshin's background by introducing someone that he apparently knew during the Bakumatsu fighting.
Apparently a powerful figure in Japan, Yamagata was looking for Kenshin to ask for his help in building and maintaining the new Meiji era.
This glimpse brings many questions to mind; just who was hitokiri Battousai, what was his role in the Bakumatsu fighting and the end of the Edo Period, and what side was he on in all the fighting?
