↳ “SG: Hijikata-kun, look at yourself in the mirror. There’s a fool staring back at you!

HT: I’m better off than a guy who’s dick got turned into a screwdriver, nimrod!

SG: You're an idiot. I'm better than a guy who's entire body—including his dick—got turned into a screwdriver. Idiot.”

A Gintama episode a day keeps the ending away…Episode 123

Episode Title: Always Keep A Screwdriver In Your Heart

MY 19 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN EPISODE 123 (manga chap 192):

LOVE THIS EPISODE SO MUCH!!!  

1) If Hijikata and Shinpachi would’ve just switched places, the seating arrangement would’ve been perfect.

2) They ordered 10 plates of meat for 6 people, which I thought was weird, but what’s even weirder is how do the screwdrivers expel their waste after such a hearty meal? It’s questions like that that keep me up at night. 

3) In the manga, Gintoki actually grabbed his crotch to remind everyone why the hunt was important in the first place, so I kinda missed that from the episode.

4) Ok, not a favorite moment per se but more like wtf: those two figures in the doorway were so freaking weird and creepy almost. The guy looks like he has one of those kabuki masks on and then that thing on his shoulder, I couldn’t figure out if it was a kid or a monkey, but they both sounded DRUNK. It was odd enough to actually distract me from the scene.

5) Zura managed to escape from prison even though he was handicapped in his screwdriver form. Man deserves to be free.

6) Gin-chan looked so good as a truck driver. And I loved that he was smoking a cigarette. Gave him one more thing in common with Hijikata. 

7) I almost wish they could have stayed as drivers since they had a steady income and most likely were having regular meals since they could afford them.

8) I don’t even understand why. And the anime team were the ones who came up with all the weird Sacchan stuff as she was looking for the aliens.

9) Hijikata’s “O” pleasure face. Bless the anime team for coming up with this bar scene.

10) Gin-chan being brutal to Sacchan as usual, though she probably enjoyed it as usual as well.

11) Sacchan looking good even after being run over. She really was the MVP of the episode, heck, of the arc considering she found the location the aliens. 

12) That’s Gintoki’s crotch and it looked magical. It kinda looked more vaginal than penile or even screwdriveral. 

13) Just another magical crotch shot.

14) I couldn’t stop laughing cuz it basically looked like Gintoki was forking the ship to death, causing it to explode. We even got to see the moment of his climax ffs. They took away the crotch grab and yet the anime team thought THIS was ok to show. Lmao.

15) I wondered the same thing but thankfully everything was back to normal the next time we seem them. 

16) Something the anime team came up with to fill in the extra minutes of the episode at the end. Basically Gintoki offering a glass-half-full look to Kagura’s concerns about cicadas and mosquitoes.

17) Yeah, they really should have continued driving that truck. This made me so sad.

18) Rudeass mosquitoes.

19) I love that Gintoki had no glass-half-full counter to Kagura’s feelings about Madao.

SHIPS TALLY:

Gintoki x Hijikata: so much flirting!

Okita x Kagura: a couple that beats up Zura together, stays together.

Kondou x Otae: I was so glad he was still thinking of Tae-chan even though it looked like he was ready to move on to Princess Phillips. This moment was not in the manga. 

Zura x Elizabeth: they are a unit, forever together.

Gintoki x Sacchan: I never thought it would be her boobs that turned into screwdrivers...don’t know how that would work with Gin-chan unless they actually became hex sockets. And every time I get to this scene, I picture it both ways. I need to go wash my eyes and brain now. 

Hijikata x Okita: that whole scene, the way it was lit and the fact that Sougo bought him a drink, smacked of romance of the one night stand variety. 

Kondou x Zura: they teamed up and were so in sync. 

Kondou x Princess Phillips: She was cute! And their heads fit together. That’s probably how the people of Planet Screw reproduces. 

Hijikata x Zura: it was nice of Hijikata to offer Zura a nice, last meal.

Okita x Zura: even though Sougo was much meaner in the anime...he only ordered raw meat in the manga, but in the ep he ordered TAINTED raw meat...it was still sweet that he was feeding Zura (with an assist from Hijikata). 

Disclaimer: Gintama is not only about shipping. Gintama is hilarious, clever, exciting, poignant, heart-breaking, loving, brilliant, and just completely unbelievably amazing.  It is only due to Sorachi-sama’s immense generosity that I am able enjoy Gintama on an extra another level, the shippy level, and I am forever grateful for that. GINTAMA IS LIFE AND LOVE.

A Gintama episode a day keeps the ending away…Episode 121

Episode Title: Novices Only Need A Flathead And A Phillips

MY 15 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN EPISODE 121 (manga chaps 189 and 190):

I never played Monster Monkey Hunter but I still really enjoyed this arc.

1) That poor cow: I hope the stupid aliens didn’t mutilate her on top of freaking her the fuck out by making her float through the sky like that.

2) It was on his right hand too! Those aliens are total dickheads.

3) I thought Kagura-chan looked so freaking adorable as a screwdriver.

4) Honestly, I still think of the three of them, Shinpachi was in the worse condition. Both Kagura and Gin-chan’s altered body and body parts were presumably still functional, but Shinpachi’s right hand, his DOMINANT hand, was not only rendered useless, but he was also in danger of hurting himself with his new sharp screwdriver. I can totally imagine him stabbing his own eye out accidentally because he was trying to scratch an itch on his face and forgot his finger was now a weapon.

5) Of COURSE I immediately hoped that Hijikata’s butthole had turned into a hex socket, and I am not sorry about thinking about that AT ALL.

6) Pachi-kun is such a boring dork sometimes. Lol.

7) Her (totally cute) outfit was already a big tell to her identity, but I guess Shinpachi was too happy about the fact that a (imaginary) girl was talking to him to even notice.

8) Lmfao. Funnier in the anime hearing Gin-chan’s voice coming out of that cute girl.

9) The dick-punching was hilarious.

10) “Kaguura Jasuanto”.

11) Kaguura and Ginko are so BRUTAL: they robbed the admins AND then roasted them on a spit as food. Gruesome.

12) Again, the dick-punching was hilarious. Loved that Gintoki didn’t even pull any punches with Kagura.

13)  I love how easily Gintoki slips into his flirty, cutesy Ginko mode.

14) The fact that Kagura-chan was starving for food even in the freaking game just broke my heart. I wanted to cry too!

15) I was so sure this would turn out to be Kondou. 

SHIPS TALLY:

Gintoki x Shinpachi: I loved that Gintoki so easily catfished Shinpachi.

A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 191

My New Year’s resolution for 2017: re-read a chapter of Gintama every day starting from the beginning and relive the joy that is Gintama lesson-by-lesson. Hopefully I will never reach the end of the series should Sorachi-sama have a change of heart and never conclude it.

What I Loved in Lesson 191: (freaking of course EVERYTHING, especially after the reveal in the last panel!)

I knew the Cloud lookalike was too good-looking to be a non-dork/loser character in reality.

Zura fanboying over another game character again is just adorable.

Hasegawa really was the obvious choice for D but I actually thought it was Yamazaki at first.

Well at least he’s good at SOMETHING.

Everything about this and everything that followed was just fucking PRECIOUS.

It made SO MUCH SENSE after the reveal why Kagura would jump in.

I totally thought these two were the actual aliens at first. But then afterwards, all of this just took on so much greatness for me, especially considering who the senior was. I guess this was Sorachi-sama’s way of indicating perhaps he’s a virgin in real life, which is just...I cannot stop giggling about it.

Laughing forever. Kondou and his exhibitionist tendencies is just too much sometimes.

I cannot get over that he is literally holding Kondou’s dick in his hands.ura

Zura is so socially awkward sometimes it’s adorable.

The reveal of who the two of them are: yeah I might’ve screamed a bit. Faintly recall jumping up and running around my room in sheer happiness. 

As if it wasn’t already quickly becoming one of my favorite arcs by this point, this pretty much sealed it.

Ships Tally:

GinHiji: omggggg so shippy, so cuuuuteeeee!!! Although I must admit I was a bit disappointed that Hijikata’s screwdriver head was just a TAD too big to fit into Gintoki’s socket wrench what-what. (And yes, I measured it.) I’m sure they could’ve still find a way to manage. 

GinOki, OkiSa, HijiSa: ok, technically all possibilities since Gintoki and Sacchan were kinda double-teaming Hijikata and Okita. And that sounded dirtier than I intended it to be.

OkiKagu: it’s that red string of Fate connecting them at work; Kagura can’t even resist Sougo even when he’s in avatar form...an alien avatar wearing a unflattering white bodysuit with antennas at that.

HijiKagu: well, since Kaguura Jusant technically was addressing both of them, this ship would apply too.

HijiOki: I should have gotten a clue just based on this statement, but somehow I still stupidly did not even have an inkling that it was them.

KonHiji: self-explanatory, I think.

HaseShin, or ShinD: I guess it’s more ShinD than the former since his fanboying stopped as soon as he realized who D was. I wonder if any AU Shinpachi/Cloud fanart or dj ever came out of this arc when it was first released. Would’ve loved to see some of that.

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.

A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 189

My New Year’s resolution for 2017: re-read a chapter of Gintama every day starting from the beginning and relive the joy that is Gintama lesson-by-lesson. Hopefully I will never reach the end of the series should Sorachi-sama have a change of heart and never conclude it.

What I Loved in Lesson 189: (DELIGHTFUL ARC! I LOLed so much!)

I knew it would be a good chapter as soon as it started out with a cow flying through the sky. Poor cow though; I still hope those aliens put it back safely on land with lots of grass.

I did feel a little bad about laughing at Shinpachi’s obvious distress.

I dunno...I think the cattle usually gets the much shorter end of the stick. At least Pachi-kun still had his innards intact and most importantly, he’s still ALIVE. Lol.

OMGSHE’SSOADORABLE!!!

Ok, first time I saw this, I clearly remember immediately thinking, wonder who has the socket that his screwdriver fits into and of course hoping it would be Hijikata. Tee-hee!!

Poor Gin-chan. Alien bastards almost broke him.

And of course here is where I immediately though, hmm, wonder who has the screw that fits into Gintoki’s socket...I hope it’s Hijikata. Yes, I am GinHiji-obsessed; that should come as no surprise.

Gin-chan’s determination was admirable. I don’t think I’ve seen him this motivated before. Lmao.

I love that not only did Gintoki choose a cute girl as his avatar, but that’s she’s the perfect amalgamation of Kagura and Okita. 

She’s still adorable.

Gintoki and Kagura are so messed up. I love them to death!

Ships Tally:

GinKagu: really, how would she know how useful his joystick was? Lol. Ok, I was being completely dirty-minded, but I can’t help it. Sorachi-sama made me go there. Plus, they were pretty in-sync inside the game so they were cute together.

GinShin: barely qualifies I know since this wasn’t happening in reality, but the fact remains Gintoki was grabbing at Shinpachi’s crotch.
