The shogunate army is routed by the imperial forces and forced to flee the city. Shogun Yoshinobu and Matsudaira Katamori, Lord Protector of Kyoto, take flight as well, abandoning the Shinsengumi. In the final days of the shogunate, Okita succumbs to illness, Hijikata dies in the battle at Toba-Fushimi and Kondo Isamu is executed as a shogunate rebel, striving to the very end to uphold the honor of the Tokugawa samurai.
