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.
If you hadn't done something so pointless 
as coming to the capital,
لو لم ترتكبي عملاً عديم الجدوى
،كالمجيء إلى العاصمة
Wärst du nicht so dumm gewesen,
in die Hauptstadt zu kommen,
Si no hubieras hecho la estupidez
de venir a la capital,
Si no hubieras hecho la estupidez
de venir a la capital,
Sans ta stupide idée
de venir à Kyoto,
Se non fossi venuta inutilmente nella capitale,
Se você não tivesse me 
desrespeitado e vindo para a capital,
Если бы ты не сглупила
и не поехала в столицу,
