oh god hello, I was meaning to comment into here anyway since I've been meaning to get ryouma cr for like, ever, but gaa pointed me here first.
IT'S WILD BC LIKE I'm always leery about leaning too far into what Minato's past lives would know of historical characters such as with fate/, given it's in-character for him to have lived humbly and out of the way (also I think it's funny when immortals or reincarnations live through important events and they're like "I was somewhere else"). But, given we've assumed his last life involved fighting in the Boshin War, then he'd definitely have been alive, if on the younger side, when Ryouma was at his most....... Ryouma. it's just a lot.
Regardless, the ensuing fervour around that ~vision~ is def something he'd know about even as a little kid: one of their friends was way into the military and Minato would've been obliged to read up what was available to him.
besides all this, if Mina learns about the gigantic debt he's going to feel really bad for Ryouma but there's not much he can do about it given. majima is kind of his boss. Sorry bud!! He can at least offer (extremely hypocritical) reminders not to overdo it and icarus himself!!
