Ueno Falls.Episode Description:
As the Battle of Ueno begins throughout early morning at the Kuro Gate, Omura is confident that a secret weapon will be delivered from Yokohama Port soon. Oryo leaves Yokohama, not long before realizing that Kakunojo has feelings for Yojiro. Meanwhile, Yojiro catches up to Okita, who then draws his sword. However, Yojiro defends himself with his sword and knocks out Okita. Kakunojo officially disbands the troupe, seeing that their revenge is over. At Edo Port, Omura commands the Imperial Army to fire Armstrong breech-loading cannons against the Shougi Army, turning the battle in favor of the Imperial Army. Masumitsu was killed in the battle at just 28 years old, while Omura was assassinated in the following year. Okita asks Yojiro for one final kendo match, but Yojiro steps out to find a doctor when Okita becomes ill again. Just then, the officers arrive to apprehend Okita, but Yojiro comes to the rescue. Okita dies in Yojiro's arms soon after. Oryo crosses paths with Sotetsu, who gives her a box of scripts to deliver to the troupe. This means that the troupe is back in business, and their next stop will be in Edo.
