Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!/Chapter 7

The Two Ryomas (, Futari no Ryōma) is the seventh chapter of Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!/Like a Dragon: Ishin!.
==Plot==
In the aftermath of his close call at the Ikedaya, Sakamoto decides he must meet with Commander Kondo, since he suspects he was the one who ordered Yoshida's death. He tries asking the other Captains around headquarters about the Commander, but this yields no results. Eventually, Captain Inoue approaches Sakamoto with another mission, offering to get him a meeting with the Commander if he completes it. Inoue says that a Shishi from Tosa called "Sakamoto Ryoma" recently met with General Saigo of Satsuma, and the Commander wants this meeting investigated. Sakamoto is surprised to hear that somebody is impersonating him, so he agrees to look into it. Sakamoto visits Saigo's home to question him about his meeting with "Sakamoto", but Saigo adamantly denies any such meeting took place.
After he returns to headquarters, Sakamoto is summoned him to Commander Kondo's home in Gion. Sakamoto finally meets with the Commander, who immediately surprises him by revealing that he knows his true identity. Nonetheless, Kondo assures Sakamoto that he doesn't care about his deception, since his combat prowess is useful towards his political ambitions. Kondo tells Sakamoto that Japan is currently destabilized because the Tokugawa system is too outdated and the country's loyalties are divided between the Shogunate and the Emperor. Kondo intends for the Shinsengumi to spearhead a military campaign to dismantle the Imperial court and concentrate political power entirely with the shogunate, which must also undergo drastic economic and political reforms. Kondo offers Sakamoto a deal: If he fully commits to the Shinsengumi and Kondo's political project, he'll hand over Yoshida's killer. However, Sakamoto refuses to aid Kondo, since he recognizes that his project would inevitably end in a civil war between the pro-shogunate and the pro-Emperor parts of the country. The argument ends in a fight between the two men, which Sakamoto wins. Despite being beaten, Kondo refuses to tell Sakamoto the killer's identity if he won't commit to his plans, but he agrees to let him continue investigating on his own. After Sakamoto leaves, Inoue enters the room and questions the prudence of sparing Sakamoto given what he now knows, but Kondo reassures him that he could still be useful to them alive.
