it's always really sweet how katsura waxes poetic about gintoki's achievements. Like he's that guy who sees boundless potential in his friend and is the most determined to put him at the top, even at the expense of his own leadership. I know it's inherently problematic because more often than not, Katsura disregards Gintoki's actual dreams. But then, like he learns from Gintoki too?? and starts to value the new people he met and call them as his own?? and eventually he acknowledges that Shinpachi and Kagura are Gintoki's gang and always supports them?? but also Katsura stays true to his hope that Gintoki will lend him his strength and be the Vanguard that Katsura has always known him to be???
