In the English dub, the "Shinsengumi" and the "Mibu Wolves" are referenced individually as if they were two different clans. In reality, "Mibu Wolves" was a nickname given to the Shinsengumi because they banded together in packs, like wolves, when searching for suspects plotting against the shogunate and patrolling the streets of Kyoto. Mibu was a village south of Kyoto, and was the place where the Shinsengumi was stationed.
