Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!/Finale

Dawn Breaks (, Yoake) is the 14th and final chapter of Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!/Like a Dragon: Ishin!.
==Plot==
Within a few weeks, the remaining Shinsengumi leaders have formulated a plan: They will sail to Tosa and assault Lord Yamauchi's palace, where he and Takechi are coordinating their plans to cause a war between the Sat-Cho and the Shogunate. Before they depart, Ryoma spends a day with Oryo, where they go on a date at a local restaurant, a singing bar and finally they pray together at Kiyomizu Temple. The following day, Ryoma, Hijikata, Okita and Nagakura set sail for Tosa.
The team arrive at Yamauchi's castle and begin their raid. In the ensuing battle, the four swordsmen face off in quick succession against Sasaki and the Mimawarigumi, Ito and the Goryo Eji and a platoon of English Navy forces who'd been supplying the Loyalists with guns, led by merchant Thomas Glover. As the group advances along the castle, they are gradually separated from each other and Ryoma is the only one who makes it to Takechi's study at the castle summit. Ryoma confronts Takechi, who insists that he acted for the sake of Japan, since idealists like Toyo and Ryoma couldn't do the violent, ruthless things necessary to modernize the country. Ryoma admonishes Takechi for sacrificing his altruism and his concern for commoners for the sake of so-called progress, culminating in a sword duel. Ultimately, Ryoma bests his childhood friend. Despite the threat he poses, Ryoma refuses to kill Takechi, saying he can show him a better way of leading the country. Shaken by his defeat and impressed by his friend's resilience, Takechi agrees to try.
The friends' reunion is interrupted by Lord Yamauchi, who finally makes his presence known by holding them both at gunpoint. Yamauchi belittles Takechi for succumbing to Ryoma's sentimentality and then tells the pair that he intended to eventually betray his former ally anyway. Yamauchi wants to turn Japan into a British colony with himself as the new shogun, running the country in service of British imperialism. However, before Yamauchi can kill the pair, Hijikata, Okita and Nagakura arrive, having defeated Yamauchi's allies. Surrounded by the five swordsmen, Yamauchi begs for his life, saying that any plans to reform the country will need somebody of his high-standing to push them forward. Regardless, the five samurai ignore his pleas and execute him.
=== Epilogue ===
Two years pass and Japan has undergone an extensive transformation. Despite Ryoma's best efforts, war broke out between the Sat-Cho Alliance and the Shogunate, resulting in the Tokugawa Bakufu losing and direct rule being restored to the Emperor Meiji. This has come to be known as the Meiji Restoration.
In Tosa, Takechi usurped Lord Yamauchi's identity after his death and became the first daimyo to pledge fealty to the new government, inspiring other local lords to follow suit. Along with Katsura Kogoro and Saigo Kichinosuke (now Kido Takayoshi and Saigo Takamori, respectively), he became instrumental in the formation of a new Japanese constitutional monarchy. Nakaoka has adopted the name Sakazaki Shiran and has begun writing a historical book about Ryoma's role in the end of the Shogunate. The former Shinsengumi captains have all retired from public life and, in particular, Ryoma has married Oryo and the two travel Japan together, living a simple life as wanderers.
In present day Japan, the legends of the conflicts between the Loyalists and the Shogunate continue to inspire and fascinate people, who honor both sides because, despite their differing visions on what was best for the country's future, they all fought and died for what they passionately believed in.
