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.
Just as you start up the hill, 
they fire from the sides.
حال صعود التلّة، يطلقون النّيران من الأطراف
Sobald man den Hügel erklimmt,
schießen sie von allen Seiten.
Al empezar a subir la colina,
disparan desde ambos lados.
Al empezar a subir la colina,
disparan desde ambos lados.
Dès qu’ils grimpaient en hauteur,
les balles pleuvaient.
Appena inizi a salire la collina,
 loro sparano dai lati.
Qualquer um que tenta subir o
morro é fuzilado por todos os lados.
Только подымаешься в гору —
идёт стрельба сбоку.
