You should look up the story of the Shinsengumi. His master Hijikata Toushizou was the vice-commander turned commander after the death of Kondou Isami (master of Nagasone). The Shinsengumi lost a battle against time. They weren't trained for modern warfare and the Shogun who they were protecting gave up on them. Hijikata knew he was fighting a lost battle, but he was convinced to fight to the very end of that war and die with pride.
