A Gintama episode a day keeps the ending away…Episode 157
Episode Title: Any Place With A Bunch Of Men Gathered Around Will Turn Into A Battlefield
MY 16 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN EPISODE 157 (manga chap 239):
I really needed a good Gintama episode to cheer me up after just finishing a heart-wrenching yet horrible tv show the other night, which made me feel mostly so damn sad, so bless Tosshi for making a timely reappearance.
1) Oguri Shun strikes again. Lol. I love how they always show him with like ONE expression.
2) Pachi-kun in brain aneurysm mode.
3) Honestly this was really more creepy than impressive.
4) Just hearing his voice was enough to make me squee. I love the badass entrance Tosshi made.
5) It’s almost not fair to the other guys to have Tosshi stand this close to them.
6) SO GORGEOUS.
7) I wish Shinpachi had to wear that all the time as club captain.
8) I could have done without the head scarf but of course Tosshi still looked good.
9) I loved the meta way the anime team presented the fake ending.
10) That was actual more brutal than necessary so it’s not like I loved this moment, but rather I was downright shocked by it. It didn’t seem as bad in the manga because the blood wasn’t as clearly defined.
11) Kagura’s side-eye! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE!
11a) Just for good measure.
12) I still appreciated the fake-out.
13) Seriously someone on the anime staff is obsessed with smegma cuz that was NOT brought up at all in the manga, whereas in the anime the use that word at the drop of a pin.
14) OF COURSE I LOVED THIS. Especially how Tosshi’s cool posing to be all sexy like.
15) Really wish they could have conducted the battle in their battle gear but this whole thing was just cute as can be.
16) I thought Gin-san was being very adorable and funny (as usual).
SHIPS TALLY:
Shinpachi x Otsuu: his passionate devotion is touching.
Shinpachi x Takachin: dear Takachin, always being so supportive of Pachi-kun.
Gintoki x Tosshi: Tosshi obv acted liked he owned the place, which was all sorts of precious.
Shinpachi x Tosshi: out of context, looks like they’re about to kiss. Plus, rivals always makes good ships, even if they were only temporary rivals.
Kondo: You look pale, Toshi. You okay? Don't worry. The people here are among the few who know that you've been possessed by that demonic sword. True comrades gathered to free you from that fiendish blade! We won't lose to that money-hungry bunch. Right, Sougo?
Okita: Excuse me, how big is the reward?
Kondo: Right, Yamazaki?
Yamazaki: Excuse me, how expensive is a hair transplant?
Kondo: (laughing) They're such a shy bunch! By the way Toshi, I've gotta go play golf with the old man at three. What time does this end?
