With the raid on Ikedaya, the Shinsengumi's fame has soared overnight. While on a recruiting trip in Edo, Kondo and the others speak to Ito Kashitaro, who then joins the Shinsengumi. Kondo admires Ito, but the other men harbor more complicated reactions to the situation—Sannan, in particular. While he is still a lieutenant commander, he's unable to follow the path of a swordsman, and with Ito installed as their military adviser, he feels more and more that there is no place for him in the Shinsengumi. Chizuru is worried about him. Then, one day, things take an unexpected turn...
To think there'd be anyone 
who could injure Soji and Todo-kun.
لا أصدّق أنّ هناك شخص يستطيع
جرح سوجي وتودو-كن
Wer hätte gedacht, dass dort jemand ist,
der Soji und Todo-kun verletzen könnte.
Es increíble que alguien lograra
herir a Soji y a Todo.
Es increíble que alguien lograra
herir a Soji y a Todo.
Quand je pense que quelqu’un
a réussi à les blesser !
Chi avrebbe mai detto che ci fosse qualcuno 
in grado di ferire Souji e Toudou-kun!
Quem imaginaria que existe alguém
capaz de ferir o Souji e o Toudou-kun...
Не верится, что кому-то
удалось ранить Содзи и Тодо.
