Within the Shinsengumi, distrust of Ito's faction is increasing, and Nagakura Shinpachi's irritation with Hijikata for not saying anything grows.
Around the same time, there's a string of incidents in which the shogunate's edict boards that stand along the roadsides in the capital are pulled out of the ground. The Shinsengumi is ordered to guard them.
Later, Harada Sanosuke receives a cash reward for successfully protecting the edict boards. He and a group of like-minded members set out to go drinking. In high spirits, they head for their destination not knowing that Hijikata is waiting there.
I will leave here with those of a like mind,

de prendre des hommes
Me ne andrò con coloro 
che la pensano come me
Eu partirei com quem estiver de acordo,
Я возьму единомышленников,
