The shogunate orders the Shinsengumi to move their headquarters to the Fushimi Magistrate's Office to combat the Satsuma and Choshu factions. A few days later, Kondo is shot on his way back from attending a war council, leaving him on the verge of death. The news makes Okita drag himself, weakened by his illness, to Sannan's rooms.
Day by day, the battle with the Satsuma-Choshu forces grows fiercer, and the Shinsengumi is made to feel the disadvantage of their inferior numbers. Amidst all of this, Hijikata comes to a decision.
Sorry, guys! All this because 
you've got a reckless captain like me!
!آسف جميعاً! كلّ هذا لأنّ لديكم قائد متهوّر مثلي
Tut mir leid, Männer!
Ich bin ein rücksichtsloser Hauptmann!
¡Lo siento, chicos!
¡Soy un capitán irresponsable!
¡Lo siento, chicos!
¡Soy un capitán irresponsable!
Désolé, les gars,
vous avez une tête brûlée de capitaine !
Scusatemi tutti! Tutto questo è perché 
avete un capitano incosciente come me!
Foi mal, galera, por terem
um capitão tão inconsequente!
Простите, ребята, что у вас такой
безрассудный капитан, как я!
