* FinalBoss
to:
* AttackAttackAttack
AttackAttackAttack: Her actual combat style relies on a more brutal and quicker use of the Jigen-ryu, allowing her to break rocks and bones in a single cut. However, she prefers to use the iaijutsu for swift and silent assassinations.
*BloodKnight
BloodKnight: Hanjirou's sole motivation for working with Okubo comes from her desire to fight to the death against strong foes, and the Boshin is one of the main battlefields she wants to part of. However, she later becomes disillusioned with the westernization of the Meiji government, in which samurai lose their prileveges and their right to carry a weapon, prompting her to join Saigo Takamori in his rebellion against the government in 1877.
*FieryRedHead
FieryRedHead: She's redheaded and one of the most ferocious warriors of the story.
*FinalBossFinalBoss: In Okita's route, she becomes the main target of Ken after killing her in a duel, and is eventually fought in the midst of the Satsuma Rebellion, by a desperated Ken bent on avenging his lover.

PetTheDog: In Sannan's route, she's shown to retain some guilt regarding Kondou Isami's execution whom she couldn't prevent, and the death of Hijikata during the battle of Hakodate. In turn, she accepts the terms of Sannan to reduce the amount of resources needed from the Shonai for the Meiji government, and while recognizing Sannan (a former member of the Shinsengumi and Satsuma's dreaded enemy) behind her alias, she chooses not to interfere anymore.
*{{Realpolitik}}
{{Realpolitik}}: Unlike most of the other caracters, she doesn't follow any ideals, not even the Sonnō jōi whom she merely uses as a mean to overthrow the shogunate. Even her intended objective of avenging the defeat of Sekigahara against the Tokugawa was something she brought up to motivate Satsuma troops. Once she effectively becomes the de facto ruler of Japan after the Meiji restoration, she launches several reforms to westernize the country and remove the samurai's privileges, against the wishes of her conservative supporters. She also shoots down Saigo Takamori's proposal to invade Korea, mainly because she wanted to focus on modernizing first.
*WellIntentionedExtremist
WellIntentionedExtremist: Like her historical counterpart, Okubo used a myriad of alliances and general dissatisfaction with the Tokugawa to overthrow the Shogunate, then became part of the Meiji government and slowly established herself as the country's de facto dictator, in order to forcibly westernize it. By betraying most of the groups she worked for, she paved the way for Japan's industrialization but made herself a lot of enemies for her underhanded methods.

*BigBadBigBad: She's the most prominent antagonist of the story, showing her true colors after the deaths of Kusaka Genzui and Itou Kashitarou. Acting in the interests of Satsuma as a whole, she effectively uses the anti-shogunate sentiment to her advantage in order to further her own plans of overthrowing the Tokugawa and becoming the head of state of Japan.
