Okay, now that we're all more settled in, let me tell you everything I know.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
We're currently in Ki-ki Restoration City, SAITAMA.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
In modern times[line 2]well, Master's time, I should say[line 2]it's located to the north of Tokyo.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
In this Singularity, Tokyo[line 2]actually, make that Edo, since that's what it was still being called here...
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
Edo was annihilated five years ago, and SAITAMA was chosen to replace it as the capital.
[k]

[charaFadeout C 0.1]

[charaTalk C]

[charaFadein C 0.1 1]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
In Proper Human History, Katsu-sensei's strategy succeeded in the Bloodless Opening of Edo Castle, but here, that never happened.
[k]

[charaFace C 6]
＠Sakamoto Ryouma
Instead, countless shogunate people, and several opposing key figures from Satsuma and Choushu...were slaughtered on the spot.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
It was as far from a “bloodless” revolution as you could possibly get...
[k]

[charaFace C 5]
＠Sakamoto Ryouma
So it's no surprise that here, that event became known as the Bloody Opening of Edo Castle.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
Following that, there was more bloodshed in Edo. Eventually, the whole city was destroyed, and the Edo shogunate with it.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
From there, SAITAMA, this city in the Musashi Province, was named the new capital of Japan.

[charaFadein C 0.1 1]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
That's right. And what's more, the Meiji Restoration of Proper Human History never happened in this Singularity, either.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
Instead, it skipped right over both Japan's Meiji and Taishou periods and went straight to Showa...
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
So the reformation that took place here ended up being called the Showa Restoration.

[charaFadein C 0.1 1]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
In Proper Human History, it was a period in Japan's history that began in 1926.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
So the world of this Singularity is technologically fifty years ahead of where it should be in Proper Human History.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
That goes a long way toward explaining why it doesn't look anything like a city from 1870s Japan.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
Suffice to say, history has obviously taken a very different turn here.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
Again, in Proper Human History, other countries considered Japan's Meiji Restoration to be a miraculous innovation in Japan's way of life, but it was nothing compared to this.
[k]

＠Sakamoto Ryouma
Here, they found a way to use magical energy to provide power to the city...
[k]

[charaFace C 5]
＠Sakamoto Ryouma
...and they've clearly used it to propel this Showa Restoration's civilization to an abnormally advanced level for its time.
