With the raid on Ikedaya, the Shinsengumi's fame has soared overnight. While on a recruiting trip in Edo, Kondo and the others speak to Ito Kashitaro, who then joins the Shinsengumi. Kondo admires Ito, but the other men harbor more complicated reactions to the situation—Sannan, in particular. While he is still a lieutenant commander, he's unable to follow the path of a swordsman, and with Ito installed as their military adviser, he feels more and more that there is no place for him in the Shinsengumi. Chizuru is worried about him. Then, one day, things take an unexpected turn...
But restricting the ministers' movements 
with military force... Is that right?
لكن سيحدّ من حركة الوزراء داخل القوّة
العسكريّة... أليس كذلك؟
Aber können wir wirklich die Minister durch
Militärgewalt in ihrem Handeln beschneiden?
Pero ¿no sería restringir militarmente
los movimientos de los monjes?
Pero ¿no sería restringir militarmente
los movimientos de los monjes?
Chercher à contrôler les moines
par la force me semble dangereux.
Ma limitare i movimenti dei sacerdoti 
con la forza militare... vi sembra giusto?
Mas acha mesmo certo limitar a
vida dos monges com força militar?
Но так мы ограничим движения
служителей, разве это правильно?
