Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!/Chapter 12

Kyo Ablaze (, Kyō Enjō) is the 12th chapter of Ryu Ga Gotoku Ishin!/Like a Dragon: Ishin!.
==Plot==
When Ryoma and Okita return to Kyoto, they find a massive fire raging across the city, ignited by Shinsengumi troops. Ryoma drops by the Terada Inn to make sure Oryo and Otose are fine, after which he and Okita go to Commander Kondo's home to ask why he proceeded with his burning plan. Along the way, the pair are confronted by Commander Sasaki of the Mimawarigumi, who attacks them as revenge for the Shinsengumi starting the fire. Okita stays behind to hold off Sasaki and his men while Ryoma continues. Further into the city, Ryoma runs into Captain Harada as he instructs his Unit to start more fires. Enraged, Ryoma orders Harada to stop, but the other Captain refuses, insisting that the fires will make people fear the Shinsengumi once more. Ryoma duels Harada and kills him.
Ryoma arrives at ryotei Asahi and finds Kondo fatally wounded. Kondo says an assassin caught him off guard and attacked him, after which he left a message for Ryoma saying to meet him outside the Imperial Palace. Kondo denies ordering the fires and he suspects instead that his assassin was behind it, to cause a distraction which would allow a raid in the Imperial Palace to take the Emperor away from the Shogunate. As a final request, Kondo asks Ryoma to stop his assassin and to find the traitor within the Shinsengumi who ordered the fires. Ryoma travels to the Imperial Palace and confronts Kondo's assassin outside its gates: Okada Izo. Ryoma accuses Okada of being the one who's been impersonating him and being the one who betrayed Takechi to Lord Yamauchi back in Tosa. However, Okada tells Ryoma that the person who's been posing as him is actually Takechi himself, who only faked his execution in Tosa to throw the Shogunate off his tail. Okada and Ryoma duel once more, culminating with Ryoma winning and fatally wounding his opponent. In his final moments, Okada laments that despite his loyalty to Takechi, he was never able to truly be his "brother" like Ryoma.
The next day, what remains of the Shinsengumi's high-command gathers at their headquarters. During the meeting, Vice-Commander Hijikata tricks Military Advisor Ito into revealing himself as the traitor who ordered the fires and the murder of Commander Kondo. However, before Hijikata can kill him, Captains Todo and Takeda protect him, revealing that the three of them are starting a new special police working for the Emperor, called the Goryo Eji. Additionally, most of the Shinsengumi's remaining soldiers support them and force Hijikata to let them leave the Shinsengumi's base alive. After the traitors have departed, only Hijikata, Ryoma, Okita and Nagakura remain in the Shinsengumi.
