Apparently, the name of the enemy’s party in Map 6-4 translates as “Kashuu Kiyomitsu Breaking Division”. So their purpose is to break the PAST Kashuu Kiyomitsu.
The above picture is an explanation of why the enemy’s party was named as such. Picture was provided by Twitter user @merpro2002, translated by @uzuki_misa.
The green/tosca colored text is the brief chronological explanation of the Original Ikedaya Affair.
The Shinsengumi broke into 1st Floor of Ikedaya Inn.
Battle ensued: Kondo Isami remained on 1st Floor, while 2nd Floor was left to Okita Souji. Presumably due to his illness, Okita fell / collapsed on the 2nd Floor. Then, Hijikata Toshizou arrived, resulting in the Shinsengumi managing to take control of the place.
The remaining forces escaped through the 1st Floor’s window, running past the Sanjou Bridge. The fight that ensued there left scratch marks on the bridge.
Some refugees escaped into Kyoto Streets.
Meanwhile, the Touken Ranbu story plot as explained in the brown-colored text is as follows: (translation taken from the English Wiki)
MAP 6-1: IKEDAYA AFFAIR - CITY (Kyoto City)
Nagasone: “…Tell Izuminokami Kanesada that it’s fine to run wild, but he better be careful not to leave scratches on the bridge.”
Horikawa: “Alright… Because if we did that then history will be overturned…”
MAP 6-2: IKEDAYA AFFAIR - BRIDGE (Sanjou Bridge)
Kane-san: “Sharpen up. These guys, they plan on hunting down those of us exhausted from the raid. We absolutely can’t let them get through!”
Yasusada: “Exhaustion, huh? If Okita-kun hadn’t pushed himself so hard here, would he have lived longer I wonder?”
MAP 6-3: IKEDAYA AFFAIR - RAID (Ikedaya Inn 2nd Floor)
Kashuu: “Yeah, I get it. But you know, compared to the last time I was here alone with that person, this time the situation feels a lot more comfortable.”
Yasusada: “Sigh… Don’t blame me if you let your guard down and get injured or broken, alright?”
MAP 6-4: IKEDAYA AFFAIR - BACKYARD (Ikedaya Inn 1st Floor)
Nagasone: “…Just now, we were about to run into our former masters.”
Kashuu: “Yeah. Close call, close call. By any chance… are you having regrets?”
Nagasone: “…No. If anything, aren’t you the one with regrets?”
Kashuu: “I suppose. I want to complain and say things like ‘Don’t cough up blood at a time like this’ or ‘Treat me with a little more care’.”
Nagasone: “As I thought, you…”
Kashuu: “Don’t jump to conclusions. The person with the right to say those things would be the Kashuu Kiyomitsu from this era, not me who came from the future. Isn’t that right?”
Thus, the real purpose of “Kashuu Kiyomitsu Breaking Division” is to break the past Kashuu Kiyomitsu before Okita Souji reached 2nd Floor / collapsed due to illness.
As Kashuu said during the Recollection in Map 6-3, back then Okita Souji only had Kashuu Kiyomitsu. Therefore, should the past Kashuu broke on the 1st Floor, the already ill / exhausted Okita Souji would be unable to do anything and would’ve been killed (read: he would’ve died even sooner, thus changing the course of history).
