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.
We will show them that we embody 
truth and integrity as warriors!
!سنريهم بأنّنا نجسّد الحقيقة والنّزاهة كمُحاربين
Wir sind das Sinnbild eines
wahrhaftigen und treuen Kriegers.
Mostreremo loro di essere guerrieri 
che incarnano verità e fedeltà!
Mostraremos a eles a força de
um guerreiro íntegro e honrado!
Покажем им воплощение
истины и честности!
