新撰組の未来を賭けた最後の死闘が始まった。
仲間たちの想いを背負い芹沢鴨に挑んだ沖田総司は、内なる「鬼」を解放するも、その人斬りの剣を芹沢に「つまらない暴力」と一蹴される。絶体絶命の窮地に、瀕死の近藤勇が駆けつけ、命を懸けて弟子を守ろうとする。その師の姿は、かつて「鬼子」と呼ばれた自分を救ってくれた近藤との絆を沖田に思い出させ、ついに彼を真の剣士として覚醒させた。
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.
