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.
He hoped you'd forgive him for 
not being with you until the end...
تمنّى أن تسامحه لعدم قدرته على
...التّواجد معك حتّى النّهاية
Er bat Sie um Verzeihung,
dass er nicht bis zum Ende dabei sein wird …
Dijo que lo perdonaras
por no estar contigo hasta el final
Dijo que lo perdonaras
por no estar contigo hasta el final
« Je ne pourrai pas le suivre
jusqu’au bout, qu’il me pardonne.
Sperava che lo perdonassi
di non essere rimasto con te fino alla fine...
Que sentia muito por não 
estar ao seu lado até o fim...
Он просил прощения за то, 
что его не оказалось рядом.
