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.
And the promise of "until the shogunate 
is toppled" is as good as kept.
"وكأنّنا وفينا بوعد "حتّى إسقاط الشّوغونيّة
Das Versprechen von „bis das Shogunat
gestürzt ist“ ist so gut wie erfüllt.
Ils voulaient renverser le shogun.
C’est maintenant chose faite.
Abbiamo mantenuto la promessa
"finché lo shogunato non sarà sul punto di cadere".
Além disso, só prometemos nosso
 apoio até a "queda do xogunato".
Обещание «пока не свергнут
сёгунат» мы сдержали.
