Summary
Hajime Saitou serves as the Captain of the Third Unit within the Shinsengumi, standing out as one of the organization's most skilled swordsmen. He possesses the unique and somewhat unsettling ability to sense and communicate with the thoughts of the dead. While this power initially makes him appear eerie, his unwavering dedication to the Shinsengumi becomes evident as the story unfolds. Saitou is a master at remaining unnoticed, allowing him to blend seamlessly into his surroundings so that those who wish to avoid detection rarely perceive his presence. Typically dressed in black, he is a solemn figure who seldom laughs, though he occasionally enjoys startling Tetsu by appearing suddenly in front of him. His enigmatic demeanor and icy attitude cause many to keep their distance, a situation he seems to prefer. Despite his aloof nature, Tetsu remains undeterred and continues to follow him closely.
