Within the Shinsengumi, distrust of Ito's faction is increasing, and Nagakura Shinpachi's irritation with Hijikata for not saying anything grows.
Around the same time, there's a string of incidents in which the shogunate's edict boards that stand along the roadsides in the capital are pulled out of the ground. The Shinsengumi is ordered to guard them.
Later, Harada Sanosuke receives a cash reward for successfully protecting the edict boards. He and a group of like-minded members set out to go drinking. In high spirits, they head for their destination not knowing that Hijikata is waiting there.
The Shinsengumi are only a bunch of
 peasants gathered together, after all.
الشّينسنغومي هم مجموعة من الفلّاحين
الّذين تكتّلوا معاً في نهاية الأمر
Die Shinsengumi ist immerhin nur
ein Haufen zusammengewürfelter Bauern.
El Shinsengumi
son solo una banda de plebeyos.
El Shinsengumi
son solo una banda de plebeyos.
Le Shinsengumi
n’est qu’un ramassis de paysans.
La Shinsengumi alla fine 
è solo un'accozzaglia di contadini.
Afinal, o Shinsengumi não passa
de um bando de camponeses.
Синсэнгуми — всего лишь кучка крестьян.
