Pretty sure Hingashi is pre Meji era so Ugetsu is trying to kick that off and we end up on the side basically saying "We don't need a revloution we can fix it without that." They can't but that's a whole other issue.

I'm not so sure as Hingashi at least with the history we do have about it seems to have had its Tokugawa period. That and at the start of the Meiji there was a lot of corruption and oppression still left over. That and it is hard to ignore the guns the few times we see them in the surrounding area. Either way trying to kill and or killing officials even if they're corrupt isn't the way to go about it.

The age of blood seems more Sengoku period and Kugane is based on the singular port that japan was forced to open and that's pre Meiji as well. The sekeisigumi are a stand in for the Shinsengumi as well.
