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...
They seem to be spies from an outside faction 
who infiltrated for some other purpose.
يبدو أنّهم جواسيس من عصبة خارجيّة
تسلّلت لهدف آخر ما
Sondern welche einer anderen Faktion,
die dort aus anderen Gründen waren.
Parecían ser infiltrados de otra facción
con motivos desconocidos.
Parecían ser infiltrados de otra facción
con motivos desconocidos.
Sans doute des espions
à la solde d’un autre groupe.
Si direbbero spie di una fazione esterna 
che si sono infiltrate per un altro scopo.
Parecem ser espiões de uma outra
facção, mas não sabemos o motivo.
Скорее всего, они из другой
группировки, и цель у них иная.
