Kitaooji has a thorough understanding of Hijikata's heavily uses his instincts with his swordplay. Because of this, Kitaooji easily starts the fight to his favor. Kondou corroborates Kitaooji's analysis disclosing the sword style the Shinsengumi uses. The dichotomy between the two sword styles, the Yagyuu style is the one that more dominant. As the fight continues, Kitaooji knocks Hijikata over a bridge, into the water, and suggests that his opponent should surrender.

Distracted by the fake-out, Kitaooji is hit off the bridge and into the water. After the two taunts one another over each other's logical perspectives, they continue fighting. While Hijikata starts fighting in a way he's more attune too, Kondou reveals Hijikata's backstory before he joined his dojo.
