March 1874 CE
Arrest warrants are circulated for Etō and Shima, and it is ironic that Etō is on the run as a fugitive from the very police force that he had helped create.
Refused support in Kagoshima, Etō flees to Tosa in a fishing boat, where he is received coldly.
While attempting to find a boat to take him to Tokyo, he is apprehended on March 28.
