[ Well, there hadn't been much any of them would have been able to do for Heisuke that second time - he and Sano got there as quickly as they could, but it's hard to do something against a sword sticking straight through someone already.
But the other time in Zelien, he vividly remembers something in combination with that last thing Saitou mentioned. It was such a shitty time that it's easy to remember despite how long ago it was, and so Shinpachi does remember one of the things that stood out the most about it. Saitou throwing himself against that force field over and over in order to save Chizuru and Heisuke. Not giving up, even if it didn't do jack shit in the end.
This might not be something Saitou remembers, but it's why he doesn't bring it up specifically. Instead he lightly shakes his head, his expression a little wry. ]
.. nothing. You did fine, Saitou, don't beat yourself up over stuff you can't even remember.
