When you've got a beef, why not say it in song. This is apparently what Makoto Shishio was thinking when he thought this up. I can only imagine the looks on Yumi and Soujiro's faces when he busted out with this one....
NOTE: There are sort of spoilers in this, but nothing that gives away any of the story arcs.
And now presenting...
Makoto Shishio performing
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie (Japan After Midnight)
to the tune "Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie (a Man After Midnight)" by ABBA / Mamma Mia
Half past twelve
And I'm wrapping my burn scars with this hate that still grows
Knowin' there's still so much left to over throw
Night descends
Let's call the Juppon Gatana so my victory can bloom
And in hours the Meiji will know their doom
I know Saito's out there
But I'll eat his flesh rare!
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight
Won't somebody help me blow the Meiji away
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight
Soon they're gonna know that all the weak are my prey!
Here we are
Looking out on Kyoto, got a country to win
Just as soon as I eliminate Kenshin
Skin's still steaming
Thinking back to when they shot me, didn't have a chance to fight
But now we'll see who of them lasts through the night
There's not a soul out there
Who's got a single prayer!
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight
I'll see Kenshin and the rest on my slaughter buffet
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight
I'll rule the whole nation by the break of the day
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight...
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight...
Batosai is out there
But now he's just a square!
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight
Kyoto will be burning while I watch from the bay
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight
At last I can put my best bindings on display
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight
Get use to the fact you're gonna do what I say
Gimmie gimmie gimmie Japan after midnight
(spoken) I might be crazy, but hey, at least my plan's not cliché
