Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. During the Bakumatsu fighting, Saito led the third squad of the Shinsengumi.

Answer: True

The Shinsengumi were an elite band of swordsmen fighting against the loyalists in Kyoto. Their motto was "Aku soku zan", or "slay evil immediately".

2. Saito has mastered which style of sword fighting?

Answer: Gatotsu

The Gatotsu technique consists of four stances. It is a deadly technique with few shortcomings, and even more dangerous when utilized by a skilled swordsman such as Saito.

3. After the fighting ends, the Shinsengumi are seen as the bad guys. What name does Saito adopt to not be recognized?

Answer: Goro Fujita

Under the name Goro Fujita, Saito works as a police officer. He is one of the few allowed to carry a katana on his person, since swords are frowned upon in the newly-arrived Meiji Era.

4. Saito's blood type is AB positive.

Answer: False

Saito's blood type is O. Blood type plays a large part in Japanese culture, as it is supposed to define your personality.

5. Saito joins forces with his rival Kenshin to combat what menace?

Answer: Shishio Makoto

Shishio Makoto is a trained assassin like Kenshin, but unlike Kenshin, he has not renounced his ways. He attempts to take over Japan, but is stopped by Kenshin and his ragtag team of fighters.

6. What bad habit does Saito practice?

Answer: Smoking

Saito is a smoker, probably because the harmful effects of the habit were not known in 1860's Japan. Drinking, while not a staple of the character, is exhibited by Sanosuke.

7. In the anime series, Saito is married to a woman named Tokio.

Answer: True

Everyone is surprised when they hear from Saito that he is married. They even adopted a child together, showing that Saito must not have a cold heart all the way through!

8. Saito works as a policeman.

Answer: True

Saito is now a policeman and one of the few authorized to carry a sword. He is sometimes chosen to carry out dangerous and secret missions. Historically, many former samurai became police officers.

9. During the Kyoto arc, what are Saito's orders?

Answer: Kill Shishio

Saito is ordered by his superiors to kill Shishio, a threat to the fragile peace that holds Japan together. He is similarly ordered to seek help from Kenshin if need be. In the battle against Shishio, Saito steps in to buy time for the weakened Kenshin.

10. When Saito first appears in the anime series, what profession does he pretend to be?

Answer: Medicine Salesman

In episode 28, Saito appears at Kaoru's dojo and fights with Sanosuke, nearly killing him. With his cruel face and evil sneer, he would make a very unconvincing salesman.
