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...
I've got no idea why Kondo-san 
is so devoted to a guy like that.
لا أفهم لماذا كوندو-سان مخلص لشخص مثله
Keine Ahnung, warum Kondo-san
so an seinen Lippen hängt.
No sé por qué Kondo siente
tanta devoción por alguien así.

Pourquoi diable sire Kondô
s’entiche-t-il d’un type pareil ?
Non capisco proprio perché 
a Kondou-san piace così tanto uno così.
Não sei por que o Kondou-san
se apegou tanto a um cara daqueles.
Не понимаю, почему это Кондо
таким восхищается.
