Hope this clears the confusion. I have said it regarding Season 3.

As I mentioned earlier, the second Hijikata group arc was skipped from Chapter 171-176. The one with Sekiya.
After Sofia said her farewell to Kiroranke and the Sugimoto group wants to head back to Hokkaido, the manga switches to an arc with the 7th Division from Chapter 191-196. But in-between the arc there are scenes with the Sugimoto group that got adapted, like Sugimoto's talk with Asirpa that ends the season, which happens way before Ogata escapes and the scenes of them needing a doctor.
When Ogata points the gun at Koito and speaks Russian, the manga enters a Koito flashback arc lasting for like 3.5 half chapters. The arc has significance, but they didn't have time to adapt it. Chronologically, the last scene from the manga is Ogata's Dances with Wolves horse escape and Sugimoto hoping he recovers so he can kill him.

The blind guy is Toni Anji from Season 2. Led a group of blind bandits who liked to ambush people in the dark, where they had the advantage with echolocation. He got knocked out during Abashiri Prison's assault, but ultimately survived.
Kikuta and Ariko are new characters. Both will have importance. Usami already appeared in Season 2 when Kadokura wanted to get rid of him in Abashiri, but being a 7th Division Chad, he quickly turned the tables on him.
