A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 348
MY 10 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 348:
Pretty much me every morning at the alarm clock.
I didn’t like this per se since Pinko is annoying and fugly and her dead kid is creepy AF, but I like what it led to...
...this reaction.
Honestly, I was kinda torn: on the one hand I thought it was very dickish of Kondou to cheat on Tae-chan like that, but on the other hand, Sayaka is pretty cute and is so sweet to him. At least she doesn’t beat him up everytime she sees him. So, yeah, I felt conflicted. Plus I had a feeling the other shoe will eventually drop since the title pretty much spelled it out.
I actually thought it was Kyuubei at first and I was so happy for like a full second before the reveal.
I was so damn happy that Toujou’s secret love for Kyuu-chan was so blatantly confirmed, but then I really wished he didn’t get a version of Pinko. A version of Sayaka or Momo instead would’ve been so much more worthy of being Kyuubei’s surrogate.
And then when this happened I started to think maybe I should stop shipping TouKyuu because there is no way in hell Kyuubei would put up with Toujou’s weird shit nor do I want her to have to do that.
I WISH someone had made her instead of the other way around.
Omfg asdfghjkl!!!
Oh I was so happy for Pachi-kun but then immediately bummed out since I knew there was no way this would last or that any of it was even real.
SHIPS TALLY:
Shinpachi x Momo: awww, Shinpachi deserves a goddess. I wish he got to keep the goddess.
Kondou x Sayaka: it would have broken my heart if they got their happily ever after ending, but I was also truly happy for Kondou that he got himself a sweet girlfriend...even if she was a VR persona turned into flesh.
Okita x Sayaka: totally not how I expected the KonSaya relationship to end, still kinda shocked Sougo would just steal Kondou’s gf like that, even if she wasn’t exactly “real”.
Gintoki Pintoki x Sacchan: how she could be satisfied with that inferior stand-in for Gintoki, I will never understand. Her glasses obviously were totally useless.
Toujou x Pinbei: since she literally was acting as his nanny, I guess it’s just as well he had her do all the dirty work since Kyuubei would kill him if he ever even tried to ask her to wipe his ass.
Disclaimer: Gintama is not only about shipping. Gintama is hilarious, clever, exciting, poignant, heart-breaking, loving, brilliant, and just so freaking amazing. It is only due to Sorachi-sama’s generosity that I can enjoy Gintama on yet another level, the shippy level, and I am forever grateful for that. GINTAMA IS LIFE AND LOVE.
