Head to Fushimi and locate Satow standing on the bridge near Daruma Eatery. Approach him to start the substory.

This leads to a fight against Nakamura Hanjiro.

Before engaging Nakamura directly, defeat the other Shishi (enemies) accompanying him to avoid being attacked from behind.

Nakamura's attacks are powerful and can break your guard. If you are using the Swordsman style, it is advisable to have the skill that allows you to reguard after your guard is broken.

Tips

Prioritize eliminating Nakamura's allies before focusing on him to prevent rear attacks.
Be aware that many of Nakamura's attacks can break your guard. Consider equipping skills that aid in guard recovery if using the Swordsman style.
Use Trooper Cards with special attacks for additional damage if available.
Employ a hit-and-run tactic: block or reblock, land a few quick hits, then block again.
Take your time and don't rush; a slow and steady approach is effective against Nakamura.
