Aoi Miburo Chapter 125 Spoilers & Manga Raw

In chapter 125, Hijikata Toshizo's ruthless decision-making alters the fate of the Shinsengumi. Exhausted after the fierce battle at Ikedaya, Okita Soji faces a new assassin from the shogunate—Kujo, a swordsman from his past. Trapped by Kujo’s "Shadow Bind" technique, Okita finds his blade rendered useless. However, inspired by Kondo Isami’s roar, Okita undergoes a terrifying awakening. A slash cloaked in black flames shatters Kujo’s defense, ending the duel. This victory comes at a heavy cost, as Okita’s severe wounds cast a dark shadow over future conflicts. For the sake of maintaining order in Kyoto, Hijikata conceals Okita’s injury and orders further purges. His cold-blooded pragmatism, born from his burden of duty, begins to fracture the unity of the Shinsengumi, marking the beginning of the end for the brotherhood they once shared.
