Shojiro Ito/History

Episode 20
After Kiichi caused an uproar, Ito appears from the crowd to tell him that he is always going with his crazy things to save Saga. Later in a food place, they talk about Kiichi's plan to restore the old Saga, to which Ito tells him that it seems that he is hinting at a new revolt in Saga, although Kiichi says that his goal is not to start a war. Later, they both go to the cherry blossom park of the citadel, where Kiichi falls in love with Yugiri. Ito informs him that she was so legendary that she ended up creating a price bubble around her that turned out that no one could pay. Kiichi only mentions that he finds it extraordinary for someone like her to come to Saga in the first place. He later realizes that Yugiri's help to Kiichi could bring the attention that the revolt was looking for, and he is going to personally give Yugiri a freshly caught fish from the river, all this to talk to her. At night the 3 talk and Ito says that Kiichi could be a very important doctor because he is very intelligent, in addition to being able to start a family with Yugiri. Kiichi gets so flustered by Ito's words that he ends up fainting again. Ito talks with Yugiri that Kiichi will end badly because the country is still very wild and corrupt, and that it is better to leave that crazy plan to save Saga. In the final scene, he is seen delivering a secret note to a homeless man, presumably someone from the government that is there to avoid new revolts.

Episode 21
Ito is with Yugiri and Kiichi to take a picture, but Ito doesn't seem to want to be photographed. Ultimately, the 3 take the picture. When they leave the local, he realizes that Kiichi is getting new people, to which Ito warns Yugiri about being attentive to the situation. Later he meet Kiichi and tells him to wake up from the reality where he is and realizes that his dreams are childish and will be trampled if he continues like this. Angrily goes down an alley and meets the homeless man who worked as his spy, and it says something to Ito. At Yugiri's house, he invites her to discuss the situation and tells Yugiri that she must take care of Kiichi because of what he is about to go through. That same afternoon it starts to snow in Saga and Ito prepares. A mysterious man appears to stop the rebels, and he murders them, revealing himself as Shojiro Ito before a shocked Kiichi, who is confused by the whole situation. Ito tries to attack him but is stopped by Yugiri and had to flee because of the Saga police presence. When he meets Yugiri again, he asks her who bought her, to which the answer leaves him surprised because he realizes that it was Hibiya's demon. Both prepare to fight to the death and Yugiri manages to wound him to death, but it turns out that Ito let himself be killed so that Kiichi could escape and fulfill his dream of creating a new Saga; thus dying in Yugiri's arms.
