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.

Oni sollen sich in die Angelegenheiten
der Menschen nicht einmischen.
Los oni no deberían involucrarse

maquinações do mundo humano!
Демоны не должны вмешиваться
в государственный строй людей.
