The two men fight, and when Saitō wins, he decides to let Akimoto leave, telling him to go out the back because Tōdō is guarding the front. As Akimoto tries to get Mizuki to go with him, Tōdō kills him with his sword. He tells Saitō that he has to lose his conscience because, by the code of the Shinsengumi, all defectors must be killed.

At the den, the seventh division captain, Sanjuro Tani runs in alone and is slain by Okada Izo. The ninth-division captain, Mikisaburo Suzuki, is slain next. Genzaburo Inoue plans to take him down with Saitō, but the latter takes him on alone due to Inoue's advanced age.

No one is at the inn, but the Shinsengumi receives word that the Choshu are at Ikedaya. Once there Nakaoka covertly lets Saitō know that he wasn't able to get the loyalists out in time. So, Saitō has to fight through the Choshu fighters until he reaches the leader of the Choshu Domain. It is Matsusuke Niibori, but he reveals he is actually Kogoru Katsura. Apprehending him was the reason why the Shinsengumi was at Ikedaya.

Katsura reveals that he knows Saitō is really Sakamoto Ryōma, tells him that they are on the same side, and points him toward Isami Kondo. Kondo is the Shinsengumi chief, and as such is someone that may be the masked killer. He convinces Saitō to throw the fight, which allows Katsura to escape. However, Nagakura notices Saitō doing so. He lets the incident go as he doesn't want any more Shinsengumi captains to die. However, he warns Saitō not to do something like that again.

At the Satsuma army barracks, Bafuku Navy Admiral Rintaro Katsu introduces Kichinosuke Saigō to a man claiming to be Sakamoto Ryōma. The imposter Ryōma acts as a mediary between Japanese and the British, providing the Bakufu with British weaponry. He wants to do the same with the Satsuma army.
As it was clear the Choshu shishi were aware of the raid, it was apparent that there was a traitor in the Shinsengumi. Deputy Chief Hijikata reveals that Chuji Matsubara, the captain of the fourth division of the Shinsengumi, is the traitor. Saitō is given the task of slaying him, but Matsubara tries to shift the blame to Saitō by saying that he joined under false pretenses. Before he can continue further, Genzaburo Inoue slays Matsubara himself.
 
Afterward, Shinpachi Nagakura reveals that he is aware that Saitō let Katsura get away. He lets the incident go as he doesn't want any more Shinsengumi captains to die. However, he warns Saitō not to do something like that again.

Saitō asks around the Shinsengumi barracks to see if he can talk to Kondo. After getting nowhere talking to the deputy chief and other captains, he gets word that Kondo is at Asahi. Saitō fights Kondo, who claims he is the man who killed Yoshida Tōyō. However, when Saitō defeats him, he realizes he is not skilled enough to be the killer.

After winning Ryōma says that he gets to choose their punishment and makes them go drinking with him. They all get extremely drunk, but Ryōma doesn't feel he is inebriated enough, so he takes them all to Gion. They all get even drunker and Katsura reveals that Saito is actually Ryōma. The latter, right before passing out, tells Katsura and Saigō to stop fighting with each other.

Ryōma wakes up at the inn, and Oryo reveals that Katsura and Saigō dropped him off there. She also says that the two had agreed to stop fighting and left in good spirits. Ryōma is still distraught by the news of his brother's execution and asks Oryo to stay with him through the night.

When Oryo wakes up in the morning, Ryōma is not in his futon. She goes outside of the inn looking for him, only to see him dressed in his Shinsengumi haori. Ryōma has once again taken up the identity of Hajime Saitō and he tells Oryo that he still has work to do.

Afterward, Shinsengumi inspector Susumu Yamazaki discretely leaves Oryo a message, revealing that the two have a connection.
 
Arriving at the Shinsengumi barracks, Saitō learns that Genzaburo Inoue has been murdered and his body was found floating in the river. Sanosuke Harada is furious that another Shinsengumi captain has been killed as he heard the loyalists call the Shinsengumi pawns. He wants to go out and murder all of the loyalists to make civilians fear the Shinsengumi again. However, he is stopped by Okita Soji, who says that he will go on a murderous rampage himself and tells Harada that he is not a pawn of the Bafuku, but rather a pawn of the Shinsengumi. Angered, Harada leaves the barracks to do his plan himself.
 
Deputy Chief Toshizo Hijikata tells Heisuke Tōdō to go after Harada and get him drunk because since he has no loyalty to Inoue, that will make him calm down and he will sleep off his anger. He tells Saitō to go after Soji, warning him that it will be harder to get him to stop seeking vengeance because Soji and Inoue had a history together.


Arriving at the Shinsengumi barracks, Ryōma learns that Genzaburo Inoue has been murdered and his body was found floating in the river.
Saitō goes to the docks where Inoue's body was discovered, knowing that Soji would head there first.
