The final, life-or-death battle for the future of the Shinsengumi had begun.
Carrying the hopes of his comrades, Okita Soji challenged Serizawa Kamo, unleashing his inner "demon," but Serizawa dismissed his sword as "trivial violence." In this desperate situation, the mortally wounded Kondo Isami rushed to his aid, risking his own life to protect his disciple. His master's actions reminded Okita of the bond he shared with Kondo, who had saved him when he was called a "demon child," and finally awakened him as a true swordsman.
