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.
I'll be taking over command for Kondo-san.
سأتولّى القيادة عن كوندو-سان
Ich übernehme stellvertretend
für Kondo-san das Kommando.
Tomaré el mando por Kondo.

Io prendo il comando al posto di Kondou-san.
Eu vou assumir o comando
na ausência do Kondou-san.
Я беру на себя
командование вместо Кондо.
