Hijikata was an outsider since he was loathed by his other family members for being an illegitimate son, was in debt to his older brother, and had no place to belong. Despite this, he never stopped moving forward, striving to become stronger as a result of his tremendous regret for not being able to save his brother and defend those he cares about. Hijikata, also known as the Demonic Vice-Commander, is feared by both his enemies and his subordinates. He is very strict and dedicated to his work. He drafted the Kyokuchou Hatto, a set of 45 rules that serve as a disciplinary framework for all Shinsengumi members, and he strictly enforces them. As witnessed in the Shinsengumi Mutiny Arc when he rushed to save Kondou from Itou Kamotarou, he is also extremely loyal to the Shinsengumi Commander, Kondou Isao. Hijikata is proud of himself.
“There is no need for any proof. There is no need to create any. We just have to live every second to the fullest, and the traces of the path we lived will burn into the ground. That will serve as proof of our existence.”
