A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 476

MY 15 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 476:

I wish this arc could have lasted another 70 chapters, rather than just 7 chapters. It was over way too soon. Sadness.

Moment 1: Awww, Pachi-kun is such a sweet and devoted subordinate.

Moment 2: Kagura’s hair ornaments on Zura and Sougo’s hair on Elizabeth: that is enough for me to love.

Moment 3: I actually thought Kozenigata had somehow jumped into the fray because there is no logical rhyme or reason how the combo of Yamazaki and Madao would produce THAT kind of ‘roided up monstrosity.

Moment 4: I think they’re both great leaders, in their own unique, different, rigid, and lazy ways.

Moment 5: I LOVE IT when they team up!! YoroShinsenJouiOniwa4Ever!!

Moment 6: I was just so touched by how everyone was working together, giving it their all because they so fervently wanted to return their leaders to their original bodies.

Moment 7: Loved this because Tae-chan looked so cute in Shinpachi glasses and she had a mean throw.

Moment 8: Any time I see the two of them working together, I love.

Moment 9: Their reactions to where Gin-chan’s soul came out from Dozaemon pretty much mirrored mine.

Moment 10: If I ever got the opportunity to meet Sorachi-sama in person, once I recover from passing out, one of the questions I would definitely want to ask him about is why with all the poop all the time??

Moment 11: I hope they had many more “dates” on the bridge after this event. I just love this view.

Moment 12: Seeing them getting back to their vices in their own bodies gave me a bittersweet feeling because I loved their soul-switching so much.

Moment 13: Can they BE any cuter??? I died.

Moment 14: Kagura is still adorable as a walking pile of shit.

Moment 15: A better question would have been, why didn’t these morons CLEAN THEMSELVES OFF BEFORE STEPPING INTO THE MACHINES?? Still, even though I’m not fond of scatalogical humor, I did enjoy this “shitty” ending to such a wonderful arc.

SHIPS TALLY:

Gintoki x Hijikata: This whole arc seemed like just such a lovely dream and I wish I never had to wake up from it. But seriously, I truly think this experience of inhabiting each others’ bodies and literally walking in each others’s shoes for a time really pushed them even closer together. I’m not even talking about the shippy aspect, but just as two people coming to really understand each other as human beings and the appreciation that comes with that understanding.

Okita x Kagura, Zura x Elizabeth, Zura x Kagura, Okita x Elizabeth: the first two is because they are always shippable when they’re together, and the second two is because they were inhabiting each others bodies, and again, you can’t get any more intimate than that.

Kondou x Otae: because Tae-chan finally saw through Shinpachi to the Kondou inside, and because Kondou is always into Tae-chan.

Gintoki x Hijikata x Otae: I can’t of course jump on this 3P ship but I think a good case can be made for it since Tae-chan seemed really concerned for BOTH of them.

Gintoki x Sacchan: her jealousy is always proportional to her obsession with him.

Shinpachi x Otae: I don’t think he could ever get closer to his sister than literally sitting on her face.

Gintoki x Shinpachi: same reasoning applies as stated above.

Hasegawa x Yamazaki: they melded together into one big shit unit...they’re canon as far as I’m concerned.

Gintoki x Kagura: I mean, technically, she grabbed Gintoki’s balls. I know, gross, but I gotta still count it.

Kondou x Shinpachi, Sacchan x Kondou: they were occupying each others bodies...same refrain as before: that’s freaking intimate.

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.
