With his identity known by the chief and his true purpose to enter the Shinsengumi to look for people who use the Tennen Rishin style of martial arts known by the captains, Ryōma met up with Nakaoka.

For the moment, Saitō decided to treat it as business as usual and went to the Shinsengumi barracks. He was told that Soji Okita wanted to see him. Okita told Saitō that he wanted him to be a part of a raid on the Sengoku residence. Okita believed that loyalist shishi were being harbored inside, but Saitō was wary of the plan because it was something about which even the chief was not aware. Okita told Saitō that he only wanted him and the division he commands to join. As Saitō is only interested in finding Tennen Rishin martial artists, Okita believed he would be able to get the glory all to himself. Reluctantly, Saitō joined Okita on the raid.

However, after Sengoku revealed the plan, Okita killed Sengoku for talking too much.
