Thanks to Saito, who had hidden himself within the Ito faction, the Shinsengumi have information that Ito is planning to assassinate Kondo. Hijikata orders Nagakura and Harada to go and kill Ito and the rest of the Goryo-eishi. And, if he stands against them, to cut down Todo as well.

Today, I was simply here to buy time.
اليوم، أنا هنا ببساطة لكسب الوقت

Oggi sono venuto solo a guadagnare tempo.
Eu só estou aqui para ganhar tempo.
Сегодня я просто тянул время.
