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.
It makes me remember that my father
 often used to touch my shoulder.
تجعلني أتذكّر عندما كان أبي 
يلمس كتفي كثيراً
Mein Vater hat das auch
oft bei mir gemacht.
Me recuerda
a cuando mi padre hacía esto.
Me recuerda
a cuando mi padre hacía esto.
Elle me rappelle celle de mon père.
Mi fa venire in mente 
che mio padre faceva spesso così.
Meu pai costumava me segurar assim.
Отец тоже часто
так подбадривал меня.
