Peace Maker Kurogane EP24 - Iron

Tetsu has a dream, finding himself on Ryouma's warship, where his father appears to tell him to follow the path of a peacemaker. Sanosuke, Shinpachi and Keisuke, despite their focus on the upcoming festival, is told by Hijikata to be on their guard for another attack by the Choushuu clan. Okita denies that his health is slowly depleting. Yamanami takes Tetsu to a shrine to pay requests to someone who lost his life during the battle. During the festival, Tetsu runs off, while Tatsu and Susumu wait for him to come back. Susumu forgives Tatsu for his retaliation of when he had snapped Tetsu out of the trauma. Akesato falls ill at the okiya, in which Saya and Hana are asked to stay for her care. When Tetsu finally talks with Saya, he promises never to kill anyone when he draws his sword. At night, Tetsu watches the fireworks with Tatsu and Susumu on the ground, and he later joins Hijikata, Okita and Kondou on a rooftop.
