This is hopefully the culmination of all the angst stories. I'm not 100% sure about this one. Nobody ends up really happy.

Building up on @asideblogofananimelover's GinTae and KatsuMatsu parallels post, I want to add more to their observations. (from beam saber arc and homeless arc)

1. Arc starts by childhood friend visiting and interacting with the pairs in question.

Hajime showing up in Shimura residence while Yorozuya was hanging out and listening to Tae and her plans.

Yorozuya eating at the Ikumatsu's ramen place while Katsura was also there. tbf Ikumatsu's has always been Gin's favorite ramen place lol.

[long post ahead]

2. Childhood friend immediately assume they're dating/sleeping together with the new person because they seem to hang out a lot together and are way too comfortable in each other's presence.

Hajime assuming Otae and Gintoki are dating and that Gintoki will be the next master of the Shimura dojo.

Gintoki assuming Katsura has been sleeping with Ikumatsu-dono because he seemed too concerned about her loneliness

3. Person being questioned saying "It's not like that!"

Otae vs Hajime

Katsura vs Gintoki

4. Childhood secrets/crushes of person being questioned were revealed.

Otae vs Shinpachi telling the truth

Katsura vs Gintoki revealing his fetish

5. Person being questioned stabbing childhood friend to shut them up.

Otae vs. Hajime

Katsura threatening Gintoki with a sword and saying that he just loves Ikumatsu's soba,

6. The first bit of the past was revealed because of the meals that were served.

Hajime passed out because of Otae's dark matter, leading Gengai to see the problem

Ikumatsu told a touching story about her and her husband while serving Yorozuya + Katsura some ramen.

7. Katsura and Gintoki both trying their best to bring back the loved ones of Ikumatsu and Otae without their knowledge.

Gintoki making it his mission to bring back the human part of Hajime alive and acting as if he just wants to kill Hajime regardless of Shinpachi's and Otae's feelings. He even sacrificed his pride two times in one day just to get Shinsengumi and Yagyuu clan to back down.

Katsura going undercover with Yorozuya among the homeless people in the city so that they can look for an old man that Ikumatsu had been looking for.

8. Katsura and Gintoki sacrificing their bodies to save the families of the ladies.

Gintoki was beat up badly during his fight with Hajime.

Katsura had to jump in a rapidly flowing river to try to save Ikumatsu and her dad.

9. All these talk about helping love rivals

BEAM SABER ARC

Kondou: We're really got the short end of the stick, lending our hand to our rival in love... even if we win this fight we wont have anything left on our side eh, kyubei-kun?

Kyubei: We're better off than that idiot GIntoki, since he's having to bow his head all over the place even while being driven out his position as big brother and because he knew why through tough times and sad times the reason why Tae-chan smiled.

HOMELESS ARC

Gintoki: How benevolent. You're pitching in to protect the promise made by your love rival?

Katsura: Unfortunately, I'm not his rival in love nor can I become it. Because there is only one man in Ikumatsu's eyes.

10. Ladies running to the place where the loved ones they lost are

Ikumatsu running and trying to serve ramen to her dad even while thugs pursued her.

Otae and Shinpachi going to the place Hajime and Gintoki were fighting in order to help.

11. The familes of the Otae and Ikumatsu were reunited even if the result was bittersweet.

Hajime sacrifices himself and dies happy knowing that he has been finally reunited with Otae and Shinpachi.

Ikumatsu being reunited with her dad who has gone senile.

Notes:

It's just so sweet how Gintoki and Katsura both found people they care a lot and will do anything for. Katsura is way more honest than Gintoki though because he's pretty straightforward with what he wants. Moreover he was the client in this arc. In Beam Saber, most of Gintoki's intentions (especially regarding Otae) were revealed by others like the Shinsengumi and the Kyuubei. We don't really hear much from his mouth other than saying "I promise to bring him back to you."

Anyhow both arcs are good character developments for them and the lives and bonds they have nurtured in Edo.

Katsura's one sided love for Ikumatsu is basically canon. Ikumatsu trusts and cares for him in her own quiet way too (I mean..they lived together for a while after all). As for Gintoki, we only barely scratched the surface.

I'm sure there are more parallels but these are the ones on top of my head I can remember.

Another thing to note is that Homeless Arc took place 30 chapters after Beam Saber. Gintoki using Hajime's line of questioning on Katsura makes you wonder how much of Katsura's experiences Gintoki empathized with.

GinTae musings:

GinTae shipping really fun because of stuff like this. You can get many aspects from the canon couples in Gintama and see how GinTae moments that are spread throughout the series parallel them. We'll never know what is the real deal with Gintoki and Tae Shimura since they have neither confirmed nor denied anything despite many characters assuming that they are together in some capacity. What we know is that they are hella close, spend lots of offscreen time together and are already a solid family unit together with Shinpachi, Kagura and Sadaharu. Yorozuya + Otae is even rarer in official art even though Otae is clearly an integral part of the team.

Katsura Nyantarou 🐾

' He somehow grew cat ears and a tail ' - I'm lazy to explain it so I'll go with this.

MY HOLY TRINITY: GINTAMA X WATANABE SHIPS

The "power couple" who tries to share the burden of the other and are even in love each other but due to their past and/or responsibilities, hesitate to be together...

The "sunshine and the protecter" where protecter thinks they don't deserve sunshine and wants them to live a normal life but sunshine still wishes to be with protector...

The "forbidden lovers" who never asks for more and are ready to let the other go...

(Never thought I'd want to see a crossover between these ships but here I am...🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️)
