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.
And it will be safer for her 
than staying here, won't it?

Estará más segura fuera
que aquí, ¿verdad?
Ce sera plus sûr pour elle
que de rester ici.
Sarà più sicuro per lei che rimanere qui?
Ela estará mais segura
comigo do que ficando aqui.
Здесь ей небезопасно оставаться.
