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 you're telling me to let them go?
وتقول لي أن أدعهم وشأنهم؟
Und ich soll sie jetzt ziehen lassen?
¿Y quieres que los deje marchar?
¿Y quieres que los deje marchar?
Tu veux que je laisse courir
ces démons de pacotille ?
Mi stai dicendo che dovrei
lasciare andare questi falsi?
E você está me dizendo para
 poupar esse lixo humano?!
А ты хочешь, чтобы
я оставил её в живых?!
