January 1868 After arriving in Edo via ship from Osaka, the Shinsengumi rest at the Kama Inn. Chizuru helps Shinpachi cope with the fact that he's a rasetsu now while he tries to hide it from the others. Meanwhile, Sannan gets more and more persistent about using Chizuru and her demon blood to make the rasetsu stronger, making the tension between tensions run higher between Shinpachi and the rest of the Shinsengumi when he finds out. After a crushing defeat at Koufu Castle as the Kouyou Regulatory Company, Shinpachi butts heads with Kondou one last time before deciding he's going to leave the Shinsengumi if they keep treating him and mostly Chizuru this way, taking her and Sano, who ends up following his best friend, with him.
