Okita confronts Hijikata regarding the failed rescue of Kondou. Saito orders Hijikata to rest while he leads the front line against the New Government Army. Harada and Shiranui encounter Koudou and Rasetsu, killing the monsters with silver bullets, though Harada suffers fatal wounds. Harada throws his spear to deflect Koudou’s bomb, causing it to backfire, and both men disappear from the Shinsengumi’s sight. Okita overhears an assassination plot against Hijikata and uses his Rasetsu abilities to eliminate the conspirators. Hijikata and Chizuru rush to the location where rumors place a white-haired man fighting numerous enemies.
