 | | As they watch the Isshin Shishi's army march past, Sagara tells little Sanosuke that soon the shogunate will end, and a new era will begin where the weak are no longer oppressed, where all people will be equal, and that the Sekihoutai are leading the fight for this utopian goal. |
 | | When Sagara demands to know the meaning of this, Shindo tells him that the Sekihoutai "went rogue" to spread lies like promising that taxes would be halved and confusing the people, and that the government has decided the crime inexcusable, to be punished by death. |
 | | As little Sanosuke listens in shock, he explains that the government is in financial trouble and can't afford to cut taxes in half, so they've decided to denounce the Sekihoutai and erase the promise along with them. |
