now that i think of it i always draw young hijikata for his birthday

#gintama #gintama fanart #銀魂 #my art tag now bish #gntm #gintama hijikata #hijikata toushirou #土方十四郎 #while im not the biggest toshi fan i love his backstory #theres a mingling sense of sadness to it thats different from gintoki’s (foil or not) #just like gintoki he cant bear to lose people he cares about but its developed earlier than gin’s #its just as fleeting but theres a current of gradual loss to it amidst the calm instead of the progressive looming threat that hangs over #gintoki’s predicament #it happens slowly and the world goes on its course uncaring and hes the one grasping at straws keeping control #also contributes to his overly serious demeanor as an adult too #the world is uncaring to him and prob thinks negatively of him in some way but he pushes on w ghosts on his back #this guy really has something going on but all it did was giving him the v-line bangs lmao #guardian spirit arc is so peak comedy in a lot of ways tbh

Thoughts about Gintoki

Many things have been said about this man. This time I would like to address Gintoki's character development and the differences between the tentative ending of Be Forever Yorozuya (BFY) and the actual ending of the series.

Gintoki is quite lonely when the story begins. For 10 years he has kept his distance from everyone else, Otose being the only exception. It has been speculated that Gintoki wanted to end his life after all he had gone through, and it’s for that reason that he arrives at the graveyard, staying out in the open, with snow piling up on his body when she arrives. There he decides to try one more time.

As time goes by, after forming the new Yorozuya, Gintoki begins to open up to others a little more. He reconnects with Zura and Sakamoto and also makes many more friends. However, he still has problems, which keep coming up in the series in different ways; sometimes more comical, sometimes more serious. But it’s a fact that he deals with certain addictions and psychological issues.

One of these issues is addressed in BFY. Despite having many friends, his low self-esteem leads Gintoki to consider that he’s not really important to those around him. This coupled with him being the cause of the chaos that has befallen the world only exacerbates that feeling and his self-sacrificial tendencies.

I've seen people compare the second movie (BFY) to the third (The Final), usually leaning towards the former because it's a self-contained story, while the latter is the conclusion of a much longer arc. While I think that's part of the reason, I don't see it as the main motive. The big difference for me is how the movies approach Gintoki's character.

For starters, the vibes of both stories are very different. In BFY everything has gone downhill and for the rest of the cast this is a tragedy because it adds to the fact that Gintoki is apparently dead. In contrast, the second part of Silver Soul arc is almost the opposite. The world is thriving and Gintoki went on a trip to resolve his own thing, but the cast can't move on because he’s not with them.

While I’m glad Sorachi gave Takasugi more screen time, his story felt concluded at the end of 1st part of SS arc (as with Utsuro, who was revived only to be killed again a few chapters later). The character arc that remained unfinished was Gintoki's. By this I don't mean that by the end of the series all his problems should’ve been solved and that he should’ve become a perfect human being.

I would’ve liked to see how Gintoki deals with his issues and his PTSD, but this was ignored. Having him relive his trauma, in which he not only had to kill Shouyou again, but also Takasugi, rather than coming from a point of authentic character exploration, felt like unnecessary drama. In the end he wasn’t worse mentally (or so the story says) but he wasn’t better either. He was still the same. And for me it was sad to see that. So many chapters, so many experiences, for everything to stay the same?

The conclusion Gintoki comes to is that he's not empty, people will live in his soul, which isn't bad in itself, but the execution seemed poor to me. Will he let his friends die now because they will live in his soul? It contradicts how he has acted before. You could say it's character evolution, but to me it didn't feel consistent. Where is the line between overcoming a traumatic event and not caring?

I got hooked on Gintama mainly because of Gintoki. I wanted to see his past and more importantly his future. I wanted to see him happy in the end. However, the resolution of his character wasn’t satisfying to me. Sorachi admitted at one point that he didn't quite develop Gintoki, but it wasn't much he needed to do and, in fact, he did it before in BFY. He just needed to focus on his protagonist.

I wanted to see him smile with happiness. But at the end of his journey, he was left with only a somewhat lonely smile.

#Gintama #Sakata Gintoki #I can write #Thoughts about #my post #Otose was quite the life saver #I've talked about the ending before but now I wanted to do it from Gintoki's pov #We also had this story of Gin realizing he's loved in Kintama arc but it was more comical #And since BFY isn’t canon SS arc had to address these issues but didn't #man I just wished to see Gintoki be happy ಥ_ಥ

Remember when Gintoki had a nightmare about carrying a dying soldier on his back through a field of corpses and one the corpses voiced all his doubts and self-depricating thoughts about how he never managed to protect anything anyway and it would be easier to just give up after he saw the Harusame take away Shinpachi and Kagura when he left them alone on a job cause he was hungover and in a shit mood (due to the depression)?

#The first time I watched it I started on episode 30 because I was told the earlier ones were boring #and I'm glad I did because I probably wouldn't have stuck with the show long enough to get invested in the characters #But when I finally went back to the beginning I loved it #Early gintama's my favourite to rewatch #along with all of Enchousen #COAN and shinigami #+owee arc and funeral ep #which I now realize makes up a third of the series #I'm not very good at picking favourites okay #gintama

Hi 👉👈 i just finished watching gintama recently and it becomes one of my top 3 animes of all the time. Laughed and cried a lot too 💙⭐ so im happy to find people willing to write for gintama even though the fandom isnt as active as other newer anime fandoms 💙 thank you so much ⭐. Can i request hcs/scenario for gin-san with a s/o who has never dated before? They are around gin-san age yet they have zero experience and they are so insecure about it 🥺. im not sure how their dynamic will be coz this guy here has no shame but ... I love him so much 💙⭐🤍.

-To say the truth Gintoki never had a relationship too, the maximum was meeting with a prostitute.

-So Gintoki only knows more about the physical side of a relationship.

-He will never force you to do anything, Gintoki is already blessed enough to have found someone that likes him that much, love is a word that scares him too much, he won’t throw away the bond you made so easily.

-But at times your insecurities bother him. Like what do you have to be scared of?? He is such a dumbass, you can’t do any worse.

-Obviously, he will tell you that only after teasing you ‘till you are near tears. But Gintoki will stop sooner, he hates tears on his partner’s face.

-It’s all a long process where you both have to learn which boundaries to cross and which is better not to. Relationships take respect and responsibility and we know our whiter-haired boy loves to run away from them.

-You must have a lot of perseverance to keep Gintoki with his ass there talking, real talking, about the important matters in the relationship.

-So as a first relationship the one with Gintoki won’t be easy.

-But for sure smiles will often be shared between you two.

#gintama imagine #gintama headcanons #gintama x reader #gintoki sakata #gintoki x reader #I love this fandom too much even when I'll be the only one standing I'll always be there to make content for it #don't know if these are good for you #but you shouldn't worry I have never been a relationship too #maybe I'm a little younger? But honestly I feel like I need a process of self-loving before finding someone #I'm way too insecure right now personally #oh and welcome to gintama a total rollercoster of emotions! #you go from hairy gorilla to heart breaking mitsuba arc #Also Gintoki is hard to deal with IN GENERAL #so good luck LOL

Gintoki-sama. Even in that body, it seem the fact that you can't swim has not changed.

no show has the range and commitment to fuckery like gintama does. no other show could pull the shit that gintama does at the consistency that gintama does while simultaneously maintaining the high level of quality that gintama has. like its actually insane how in the world did they do that

i have the exact location where theyre sitting in mind however its hard to convey in shitty quality comics

first comic btw sorry i forgot to... add that

#art #my art #gintama #sagaru yamazaki #yamazaki sagaru #shinpachi shimura #shimura shinpachi #id in alt #hey does it show at all that i drew these comics after having been awake for 25+ hours. #like first of all? that 'i didn't think'? look. it reads i didn't thinT. because i forgot to finish the k. #but bc the comic looks bad to begin with i dont feel pressured to correct it <3 love & peace on planet earth #mr man looks so wonky in last panel thats how u know hes one of my favourites. i will never respect him 🥰 (affectionate) #the area they should be in btw. its nearby the bridge. you know the one. w the river. & theres grass. #the only episode/arc i can think of where this area is relevant is. the one w the. cursed sword. ik that doesnt say much but #its not the tosshi arc i just barely remember the details??? good lord my memory is bad #wasnt that sword.. in love w... another sword... or a sword handle... um..... it was something like that... probably... #did sougo wield that sword at some point??? i feel like he did #anyway dont mind me rambling in the tags of my own post . ill be here all day

[The Final sugi dying kitten betrayal -> utsuro-gin fight -> sakura boat imagination -> completely tonally consistent with these ginpachi-sensei closer]

now listen. u know i would rather die than post five nearly-uninterrupted minutes of a fight scene. so take that into consideration.

#slight-- #flashing #--in the first scene but i tried to cut the worst of it #sopping wet gintoki posting #videos #my computer is screaming at me. can i recall my thoughts. #i think theyre INSANE for that utsuro falling -> takasugi bound on the ground watching shouyou's execution transition. #rereading the manga fight scene. there IS some. how do i want to phrase this. unreliable perspective fuckery. retconning of memories. #nonliterality Mind Tricks. but like. things still happened. this movie here takes it so far that im like. IS GINTOKI EVEN REAL? #is this just the gintoki that lives in takasugi's dying brain and utsuro's dying brain that utsuro got from shouyou's humanity brain fungus #being his shinigami/psychopomp to walk him thru his first ever death. guhhhhhhh. littlest baby on the planet who is afraid of dying. #<- i love utsuro with all my heart. sorry for being mean to him at first turns out he's the char of all time meant for me. #anyways i think the movie is. SO BALLSY to stretch reality so far for their climax fight. and in such a. way. #taking place in complete silence. almost no actual fighting in the 200 Chapters Of Fighting arc fight scene conclusion. #reanimating so many key moments just to canonize the identity blurring triangle between three dead guys (tho gintoki gets kicked out of #the world of the dead on that sakura boat. sad.) #just a really ambitious thing to put in this aesthetically ugly and boringly standard as hell movie. AND TO SERVE WHAT END. #more standard as hell jump Power Of Friendship in the end. just with some extra weird cannibal ouroboros endless mirrors gay ass flavor. #<- gintama has always been abt making and surviving connections im not mad abt that but u know. got so generic lol. #thoooooo rereading the manga scene and understanding the plot more this time i do like the feeling that utsuro wasnt defeated so much as #just ran out his time. being kept busy from causing more problems in his final hours w a pointless fight hed never be able to turn down. #[about to digress 20 more times] anyways what else. theres an utsuro soft expression when he regrows sugi's arm that i like. interesting-- #choice. i also cut it but i love gintoki wandering gaze avoiding sugis eyes dying in his arms. and his fighting back tears so badly. #the way the dynamic and emotionally destroying shot transitions dont stop even while sugi's dying. someone on staff was working their ass #off for him and i appreciate that.

30 Color Challenge - Day 20: If we do have anywhere to go home to, it’d be a place where you guys are too.

I really really adore the Yorozuya+Shinsengumi relationship and how it grew through the series. I think Sorachi at one point said they have a rotten bond? Where they somehow can’t help but get involved with one another despite the friction between them. It’s really lovely to me that by the end of the series, they actively risk their lives to help one another with the Yorozuya saving the Shinsengumi in Farewell Shinsengumi and then the Shinsengumi repaying the favor in the final part of Silver Soul. So I like to think that after everything has settled down, the cherry blossom viewing party becomes an unplanned somehow-it-ends-up-happening-every-year event between the two groups
