For all the makings of a terrible adult that Gintoki shows, he has his moments of weakness too. Like how he’s now clambering up a tree to rescue a poor little kitten who was spooked by an infected, and showing some real athleticism, had dashed past ten blocks and up this tree.
It’s completely shaken, as shown from the quivering of its body, and Gintoki makes the mistake of trying to grab it while it’s still terrified. The kitten, like cats who’ve been spooked are known to do, panics. And its claws are sharp.
Seems like this narrator really won’t let him catch a break.
There’s a look of absolute disgust on his face, a fine accompaniment the the myriad scratches all over his arms, courtesy of the kitten who has the audacity to mewl as if none of this is its fault.
A fine sight for anyone who happens to be passing by.
