=== Ryu Ga Gotoku/Like a Dragon: Ishin!: 1867 ===
Ginji meets up with Sakamoto Ryoma at a dojo in Kyo, as he is searching for someone who uses the Tennen Rishin-ryū. Ryoma had also payed Ginji to see if he can find any information regarding the style, of which he has none. He parts ways with Ryoma and leaves.
A few weeks later, after Ryoma joins the Shinsengumi under the alias of Saito Hajime, Matsubara Chuji would contact Ginji about info regarding the upcoming Ikedaya raid. Matsubara tells Ginji to send the info over to the leader of the Choshu Loyalist Party, Katsura Kogoro, in order to warn him of the attack. Hours later, Ginji comes back to give the info over to Matsubara. During this talk, however, Ryoma walks in on their conversation. Although Ryoma never knew what they were talking about, Matsubara killed Ginji, in order for Ryoma to not realise that Matsubara was a Choshu loyalist.
During the aftermath of the Ikedaya incident, Shinsengumi Vice-Commander Hijikata Toshizo reveals that the Shinsengumi spy master, Yamazaki Susumu, has witnessed meetings between Ginji and Matsubara, cementing his suspicion of Matsubara of being from the Choshu loyalists.
