Later, the commotion over Sannan adds to the decision to move the Shinsengumi headquarters to Nishi Hongwanji. Chizuru continues to search for her father, but she is unable to find any clues to his whereabouts. Then one day, Chizuru happens to overhear Okita's secret.
The Water of Life provides false strength.
ماء الحياة يمنح قوّة مزيّفة
Das Wasser des Lebens
verleiht falsche Stärke.
El Agua de Vida da fuerza falsa.
El Agua de Vida da fuerza falsa.
L’eau de jouvence
est à double tranchant,
La forza donata dall'Acqua della Vita è falsa.
A Água da Vida provê uma força falsa.
Живая вода даёт ложную силу.
