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.
On the way back from 
the war council at Nijo Castle,
في طريق العودة من مجلس الحرب
،في قلعة نيجو
Auf dem Rückweg
vom Kriegsrat im Schloss Nijo …
Nous revenions du château de Nijô,
Ci hanno sparato mentre eravamo a cavallo
Nós estávamos na reunião
de guerra no Castelo Nijo,
Нас обстреляли, пока мы ехали
