Within the Shinsengumi, distrust of Ito's faction is increasing, and Nagakura Shinpachi's irritation with Hijikata for not saying anything grows.
Around the same time, there's a string of incidents in which the shogunate's edict boards that stand along the roadsides in the capital are pulled out of the ground. The Shinsengumi is ordered to guard them.
Later, Harada Sanosuke receives a cash reward for successfully protecting the edict boards. He and a group of like-minded members set out to go drinking. In high spirits, they head for their destination not knowing that Hijikata is waiting there.
You know, the people we've been comrades 
with since forever. Right, Heisuke?
النّاس الّذين كنّا على صداقة معهم
منذ الأزل. أليس كذلك يا هيسكي؟
Nur unter uns
alten Schwertbrüdern, oder, Heisuke?
Como con los compañeros de siempre,
¿no, Heisuke?
Como con los compañeros de siempre,
¿no, Heisuke?
c’est qu’entre nous, les anciens,
hein, Heisuke ?
Sai sono i nostri compagni di sempre. 
Giusto, Heisuke?
Estar com nossos amigos de
velha data, né, Heisuke?
Мы же давно дружим. Верно, Хэйскэ?
