The Shinsengumi have decided to retreat from Fushimi. Chizuru and Inoue Genzaburo have headed toward Yodo Castle to request reinforcements, but on their way there, Chizuru's father, Kodo, who had been missing, suddenly appears in their path. Their reunion moves Chizuru to tears. She asks him why he disappeared, and what he says in reply horrifies her. While Chizuru is still in shock, Kazama appears and tells her a cruel truth. She is stricken with despair, and just as she is about to kill herself, Hijikata arrives.
And, for giving me one last dream, 
I can never thank him enough.
ولمنحي حلم أخير، لا أوفيه حقّه مهما شكرتُه
Ich bin ihm unendlich dankbar,
dass er mir einen letzten Traum geschenkt hat.
Y que le agradezco
que me diera un último sueño.
Y que le agradezco
que me diera un último sueño.
J’ai pu rêver grâce à lui
E non potrò mai ringraziarlo abbastanza
per avermi dato un ultimo sogno.
"E muito obrigado por me dar 
um último sonho para sonhar."
Я никогда не смогу отблагодарить
вас за подаренную мне мечту».
