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.
They're far away, but one out 
of two shots is hitting its mark.
إنّهم بعيدون، لكن رصاصة واحدة من كلّ
رصاصتين تصيب هدفها
Sie stehen in der Ferne,
doch einer von zwei Schüssen sitzt.
Están muy lejos, pero aciertan
uno de cada dos disparos.
Están muy lejos, pero aciertan
uno de cada dos disparos.
Même à distance,
il leur suffit d’une ou deux balles.
Sono molto lontani, 
ma colpiscono metà dei bersagli.
Mesmo daquela distância,
metade dos tiros deles acertam.
Люди далеко, но один из двух
выстрелов попадает в цель.
