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.
If Kondo-san dies...
...إذا مات كوندو-سان
Wenn Kondo-san stirbt …
Si Kondo muere…
Si Kondo muere…
si sire Kondô meurt…
Se Kondou-san dovesse morire...
Se... Se o Kondou-san morrer...
Если Кондо умрёт...
