Sannan has been using materials left behind by Kodo to continue to try to improve the medicine in secret. He drinks the medicine and transforms into something which is no longer human. After seeing the wound Sannan infected on Chizuru heal in an instant, Hijikata asks her if she's a rasetsu, but...
Later, the commotion over Sannan adds to the decision to move the Shinsengumi headquarters to Nishi Hongwanji. Chizuru continues to search for her father, but she is unable to find any clues to his whereabouts. Then one day, Chizuru happens to overhear Okita's secret.
Forced out of my position by Ito-san's 
arrival, I attempted to desert.
مُرغَماً على مغادرة منصبي لدى
وصول إيتو-سان، حاولتُ الفرار
Ito-san hat mich von meinem Posten
getrennt und ich wollte desertieren.
La llegada de Ito me despojó
de mi posición e intenté desertar,
La llegada de Ito me despojó
de mi posición e intenté desertar,
Nous avons dit que j’avais pris la fuite,
déshonoré par les propos d’Itô,
Dopo esser stato rimosso dalla mia posizione 
all'arrivo di Itou-san, ho cercato di disertare.
Pressionado pela chegada do
Itou-san, eu tentei desertar as tropas,
Я пытался дезертировать, обидевшись,
что меня заменили на Ито.
