Sanosuke is visiting the sukiyaki restaurant Akabeko, where he always leaves his bill on a tab. One of Akabeko's workers, Tae, asks him to go buy a Nishiki painting from the painting shop on her behalf. Though Sanosuke had no interest in paintings, he finds one at the store that catches his eye. It was a painting of the man he looked up to as his master back when he was a member of the Sekiho Army, Captain Sagara. With a gleam in his eyes, Sanosuke makes his way to meet with the artist of the painting.
A new era with true equality
for the four classes
عصر جديد من المساواة الحقيقيّة 
.للطّبقات الأربعة الّذي حلم به قائدنا
Eine neue Ära der wahren Gleichheit
La nueva era donde las cuatro castas
son iguales, como aspiraba el capitán.
Una era donde las cuatro castas
son iguales, como aspiraba el capitán.
créer cette ère réellement égalitaire
dont notre chef avait rêvé.
Realizzare il sogno del comandante Sagara, 
una nuova epoca di vera uguaglianza.
Uma nova era com verdadeira igualdade
entre as classes que ele sonhou.
Воплотить мечту Содзо Сагары!
Добиться эпохи истинного равенства!
