After his father was beheaded, Gakujuro Fukakusa (played by Okuya Tomoya) joined the Shinsengumi in order to hone his sword skills and take revenge.During the enlistment exam, he met the cold-hearted young man Kamakiri Daisaku (played by Kentaro Maeda).The masterpiece with unknown origins and top-notch swordsmanship was introduced to the Shinsengumi as an expected large-scale newcomer.Although the two developed a warm friendship, they were unknowingly tricked by the waves of the times and entered into a tragic fate of having to kill each other.

1863, Kyoto——.Fukakusa Goka Juro, who works in a small teahouse run by his good-natured father Nanaya, lives every day cautiously.However, one night, this peaceful daily life changed drastically.

Shichiya hid the samurai of the Samu clan who fled into the store, but was hacked to death by Shouchi Gengo, the clan leader of Choshu.Qiujuro, who was shaking with anger, rushed out of the shop in order to chase Shouchi and others. At this time, a man appeared. He seemed to understand Qiujuro's meaning and killed a feudal lord.He called himself Isamu Kondo, the chief of the Mibu Roshi Group, said “thank you to his father for his courage” to Qiujuro and left.

Qiu Juro vowed to take revenge on Shouchi who escaped and decided to join the Mibu Roshi group.He entered the venue for the team entrance examination according to the notice of team recruitment. However, headed by Shibu Kihei, all of them were capable people who were impressed by their skills. Kyujuro, who was even unsteady with a sword, was completely unconvinced by the competition..

Despite this, Qiujuro was still unwilling to give up enlisting in the army, and under the instructions of Souji Okita, he fought against Kamakiri Daisaku, the outstanding swordsman among the candidates.

After passing the examination, Kamakiri Daisaku and Fukakusa Gakujuro were approved to join the Mibu Roshi group——.The next morning, in addition to director Isamu Kondo, deputy director Hijikata Toshizo, Okita Souji, Harada Sanosuke, Saito Kazuo and other key members, even the president Serizawa Kamo, who rarely appeared, was also pulled out.In the gathering, the grouping of new team members was announced.

The two were assigned to Shannan Keisuke as the captain, and the “Shannan Team” gathered problem children. Among them was the rookie team Shiminan Munosuke, who had joined the Mibu Roshi group earlier than the two.

But since joining the army, in addition to basic training such as running, what I have done is preparing dinner, patrolling the streets, picking up garbage and other chores.Kyujuro, who was honing his sword skills in the Mibu Roshi group and wanted to avenge his father Nanaya as soon as possible, felt very anxious.

One day, Kyujuro saw Shouchi Gengo, the Choshu domain official who killed his father, on the street...!?

Kamakiri Daisaku and Fukakusugaoka Juro Minanosuke help young people who are surrounded by gangsters in the town.This young man is none other than Matsunaga Shinnosei, the second son of the samurai family whom Nannosuke once served.

Shinnosei's family was destroyed due to the aftermath of the Ansei Prison. Shinnosei had no choice but to be adopted as an adopted son by a family with whom he had a relationship. However, he was considered troublesome and searched for an apprentice.The last person to arrive was the home of Nogimasa, the wealthy royal merchant of the Aizu Domain. However, Nono seemed to have escaped from the evil eye and saw Shinnojo, and was chased by his subordinates.

With the care of Shannan Keisuke, Shinnosei was allowed to temporarily recuperate in the settlement of the Mibu Roshi group.When they meet again, Nannosuke is happy to give everything for Shinnosuke, but Shinnosuke hides entanglements that cannot be told to anyone...

On the eve of the enlistment examination of the Mibu Roshi Group, Matsunaga Shinnosei disappeared from the camp.While hesitating with nowhere to go, he was discovered by the men of Nogimasa, the wealthy merchant of the Aizu Domain who had been eyeing Shinnojo for a long time.

After learning about this, Nannosuke went to Shinnosuke uneasily.Determined to help Tachi, Fukusa Gakujuro hurriedly chased after him, but only Kamakiri Daisaku refused to go with him...

On the other hand, Kondo Isamu, Hijikata Toshizo, Okita Souji and other officials heard that the rookie team members were in trouble and prepared to go to the rescue.However, President Serizawa Kamo, who asked you to be the intermediary for the Aizu Domain, stopped him..

In desperation, only two people, Qiu Jurou and Minanosuke, came to Nono's house where a large group of gangsters were waiting. Can they save Shinnosei?

The Mibu Rōshi group got their wish and paid an audience with the Aizu Domain.According to the suggestion of Governor Serizawa Kamo, Kamakiri Daisaku, Fukakusa Gakujuro, Matsunaga Shinnosei, Minanosuke and other team members performed “Sword Dance” in front of the Aizu Domain Lord when they paid an audience.Everyone practiced hard under Serizawa's command, but Qiujuro was unable to act according to his own ideas and always failed. He felt that he was the only one holding him back.

“How can I be like you?”Qiu Juro asked Dasaku directly for advice, but Dasaku only replied with a joke...!?

On the occasion of the Aizu Domain's audience, Fukakusa Gakujuro and Kamakiri Daisaku partnered up to perform sword dance techniques, but they couldn't decide.Even if he practiced under the guidance of Okita Souji, he could not reach the state of “natural body” that Okita said.

At this time, the president Serizawa Kamo said something unexpected, and as an opportunity, Qiujuro got a hint to reach that realm.What revived in my heart was the day I met the masterpiece...!?

At this time, Shouchi Gengo and other Choshu clan officials received information that the Mibu Roshi group wanted to visit the Aizu clan, and planned a plan to attack the Aizu clan's residence...

And then——the day of the audience finally arrived...!?

Kamakiri Daisaku, Fukakusa Gakujuro, Matsunaga Shinnosei, and Minanosuke were ordered by President Serizawa Kamo to go on a long-distance mission.He was sent to help repair the Mito Domain's villa on the outskirts of Kyoto.

Different from the tense atmosphere in the town where the Shoshu feudal faction headed by the Shoshu feudal faction was in full swing, the four people spent a happy time like a short break in the calm countryside.But that night, what Qiujurou witnessed was Daisaku's “tears”...!?

At this moment, Toshizo Hijikata strongly opposed Serizawa's strategy of ignoring him...

On the streets of Kyoto, an incident occurred where Gengo Shouchi of the Choshu domain beheaded an official of the Aizu domain.Although Harada Sanosuke, Saito Ichi and others came to stop him, the lord of the Aizu domain, Matsudaira Yoshiho, suspected that the Tosho faction had mastered his movements, and there were no spies in the Mibu Rōshi group to leak information.I'm weird.

In order to clear Yongho's suspicion, the team members received the order "no going out without permission%". In addition to regular patrols, Kamakiri Daisaku, Fukakusa Gakujuro and others spent the rest of their time in the camp practicing swordsmanship...

Under such circumstances, Qiu Juro was entrusted by President Serizawa Kamo to deliver a letter to the home of the wealthy businessman Nono Yoshimasa, so he went to the streets alone.At this time, a man from the Mibu Roshi group hurriedly walked on the path behind, and Mibu felt strange.!?At this moment, Kyujuro fell into a desperate situation...!

Kihei Shippi was controlled in a secret meeting with the prostitute he had a crush on, and was suspected of being a spy for Choshu. From that night on, he disappeared from the sight of the team members.

Fukakusa Gakujuro heard from the senior team members that “Subi was sent back to his hometown”, and Kamakiri Daisaku, who noticed that “Subi was eliminated, was tortured by guilt and vomited...Seupi's incident caused a lot of turmoil in the hearts of the team members. Both Dasaku and Qiu Jurou began to be confused about ”what was correct“ and ”how they should move forward%...

At that time, the cadres became even more noisy.Serizawa Kamo, who has been behaving in an awkward manner since before, and who has recently been banquets with the Lord and the Anti-Barbarian Faction, did not show up when he met with the Lord of Aizu Domain, Matsudaira Yoshiho, and Yoshiho's trust in him began to waver.Kondo Isamu, who couldn't stand it anymore, asked him to attend the interview. I wonder what Serizawa thought of, and told Kondo that he and Hijikata Toizo could choose one...!? Hijikata, who was named, made a certain decision at that time...!?

Then, the moment finally came for Serizawa to step down——!

The Mibu Roshi Group eliminated President Serizawa Kamo and was led by Director Isamu Kondo and Deputy Chief Hijikata Toshizo. At the same time, the new team name "Shinsengumi" was appointed from the Lord of the Aizu Domain, Matsudaira Yoho.

However, Serizawa's death was a huge blow to Fukakusugajuro. Whenever he held the sword, his hand would tremble and he would not be able to exert strength.The more you realize the state of your “natural body”, the more you realize the last words that your late father Nanaya left to stop him before he died: “Qiu Jurou...can't go there... These words came to mind.Kamakiri Daisaku looked at the distressed Kyujuro with complicated emotions...

At this time, Daisaku, Qiu Juro, Matsunaga Shinnosei, and Nanmu Nosuke were brought to the temple by Shannan Keisuke.!?

On the other hand, Changzhou, under the leadership of Katsura Kogoro, is brewing a terrible conspiracy.That thing connected with that ”historical event%——!?

In the secret letter of the shogunate faction that Daisaku Kamakiri gave to Shinsengumi chief Isamu Kondo, he said that he would take advantage of the excitement of the Gion Festival to set fire to the city of Kyoto and take advantage of the chaos to carry out his plan to overthrow the shogunate.Have a party.It says it can be opened.Kondo made the decision to create a masterpiece that believed that many people would die if this situation continued, and the team members prepared for the expedition in a panic.

Before the attack, Fukakusa Gakujuro told him “Don't die”, the masterpiece is——!?

At night, Team Kondo broke into Ikeda House.The lurking Patriots of the Sedition Movement were discovered, and a fierce battle began.However, at this moment, Okita Souji felt something strange in his heart...!? Then in the chaos, Qiujuurou saw the figure of Shouchi Gengo, the Choshu feudal lord who avenged his father...!?

On the night of the “Ikedaya Incident”, in order to protect Kamakiri Daisaku, Fukakusa Goka Juro killed his father-killing enemy Shouchi Gengo.The feeling of stabbing someone for the first time lingered, and even when I returned to the camp, my hands couldn't stop shaking.The two people who eventually became “enemies struggled and suffered in the heroic fate of no return...

The Shinsengumi was rewarded by Matsudaira Yoshiho, Lord of the Aizu Domain, for nipping the Tossaku faction's scheme in the bud.However, on the other hand, Yongbao pointed out that in the eyes of the world, the current Shinsengumi is just a simple "executioner group".He told director Isamu Kondo that if he wanted to climb up the ranks, he should add elements that the Shinsengumi lacked.What is the ” change“ that the Shinsengumi should absorb...!?

At this time, Qiu Juro remembered the word ”traitor% that Shounai muttered before he died.And at that moment, Daisaku’s physical danger approaches...!?

Ito Koshitaro and his younger brother Suzuki Mikisaburo, summoned by Director Isamu Kondo, joined the Shinsengumi.Taro Koshi studied in Mito and was good at negotiation, so he was recruited as a staff officer. However, Kondo did not discuss it with him at all, and Deputy Chief Hijikata Toshizo strongly opposed it.Unable to believe the brothers, he ordered Saito to search for them secretly.

Under such circumstances, Fukakusa Kakijuro realized his mission as a team member, and Kamakiri Daisaku felt that he had a responsibility, so when Koshi Taro asked him to buy something, he bought “something”% and gave it to Kushiro, butWas rejected by Qiu Juro.

At this moment, Taro Koshi suggested that the team members take the exam together.It is said that Taro Koshi will reassign the groups based on the results of the game...

Daisaku Kamakiri, who rebelled against the brothers Ito Koshitaro and Suzuki Miki Saburo, returned to the group where underachievers such as Fukakusa Gakujuro were gathered.Daisaku hopes that Qiujuro can return to his original appearance before the murder, but Qiujuro, who firmly believes that he is on the “right path” as a team member, rejects Daisaku's request.The two still passed each other.

Under such circumstances, Koshi Taro and others went to greet Mr. Mito Manabu who lived on the outskirts of Kyoto.As companions, in addition to Daisaku and Qiu Juro, there are Matsunaga Shinnosei, Minanosuke, Harada Sanosuke, Saito Kazuo, and Shannan Keisuke.Deputy Chief Hijikata Toshizo suspected that he wanted to close the distance between the Shinsengumi and Mito Domain, and was very wary of Koshi Taro's actions.

Then on the day of departure——.Shannan declined to go with him on the grounds that he had things to do“.In fact, Shannan realized that someone in the Shinsengumi was hiding a ”secret%...

When Isamu Kondo, the director of the Shinsengumi, was away - the incident occurred in which Keisuke Yamanan captured Deputy Chief Hijikata Toshizo.Shannan discovered that Okita Souji had lung disease and suggested that he rest immediately, but such a decision was too heartless to come from Hijikata, who valued the face of the organization...Shannan, who loves Okita like a younger brother, cannot forgive all this...

Shannan was immediately sentenced to confinement. Daisaku Kamakiri, Juro Fukakusa and others were shocked by the atrocities of Shannan, who had always been gentle...

Under the mediation of brothers Ito Koshitaro and Suzuki Miki Saburo, Shannan's confinement was quickly lifted. However, after that, the team members were surrounded by shock and sadness, and an even bigger incident happened——

Shannan Keisuke's rebellion and seppuku brought unprecedented blow and sorrow to the Shinsengumi team members.Fukakusugajuro, who was shaken by Shannan's last words at the risk of his life, held back tears, and Kamakiri Daisaku was worried about him who was suffering from feelings.On the other hand, the hit Matsunaga Shinnosei had a fever and was bedridden. Although Minanosuke himself was injured, he still tried his best to take care of him.Deputy Chief Hijikata Tobizo, who forced Shannan into a desperate situation, also struggled desperately to fill Shannan's gap.

As Shannan is scattered, Kyujuro realizes the stupidity and emptiness of fighting swords and killing each other that he has conveyed. Kyujuro falls into chaos and goes to a place alone...!? Then, in order to protect Kyujuro, Daisei falls into the depths.deep darkness…
