The shogunate orders the Shinsengumi to move their headquarters to the Fushimi Magistrate's Office to combat the Satsuma and Choshu factions. A few days later, Kondo is shot on his way back from attending a war council, leaving him on the verge of death. The news makes Okita drag himself, weakened by his illness, to Sannan's rooms.
Day by day, the battle with the Satsuma-Choshu forces grows fiercer, and the Shinsengumi is made to feel the disadvantage of their inferior numbers. Amidst all of this, Hijikata comes to a decision.
To think that it's now the strongest force 
supporting the shogunate...
أمست الآن القوّة العظمى التي تدعم
...الشوغونيّة الآن بالفعل
Sie ist nun die stärkste Streitkraft
des Shogunats.
Ahora es la mayor fuerza de apoyo
al shogunato.
Ahora es la mayor fuerza de apoyo
al shogunato.
Au point d’être la plus grande milice
soutenant le shogun.
Chi avrebbe detto che sarebbe diventata
 la più potente forza di difesa dello shogunato.
Deve ser a tropa mais poderosa
que o xogunato possui.
Сейчас это сильнейший отряд,
поддерживающий сёгунат.
