Gintama anime ep 364 (SPOILERS)
Dear Gintama gods and Sorachi-sama,
Please allow me to humbly express to you what I am most thankful for in this episode:
- OkiKagu
- OkiKagu
- OkiKagu
- OkiKagu
-OkiKagu
- OkiKagu
- OkiKagu
- OkiKagu
- OkiKagu
I know, I know, Sougo and Kagura weren’t the only people in this episode; in fact, a lot of important stuff was happening with Gintoki and Takasugi and the Kiheitai as well. I sincerely do care about all of the other developments with all my stupid heart and silly soul. However, the OkiKagu stan in me just couldn’t help but OkiKagu so I had to capture and worship all the OkiKaguness that was OkiKagu-ly possible. It’s the OkiKagu thing to do. Please forgive me for the OkiKagu-ing, I promise I will properly pay homage to this OkiKagu episode soon.
Yours OkiKagu,
A OkiKagu fangirl with OkiKagu dreams
(^3^)

“Kagura Hates Sougo?”
So in the midst of my okikagu fangirling that i went through especially since eps 364 aired last Monday, i also noticed some dissatisfied posts about Okikagu, or Okikagu shippers in general.
“Kagura hates Sougo!!!”
“Okikagu shippers acts like Okikagu is canon”
“Shinkagu/Ginkagu is more relevant because Kagura obviously love them both”
I’m not one to defend my ship or hates on other ships, just want to point out my takes on things.
1. Rokkaku arc
Notice Kagura’s face when Kirie was broken down about Sougo. It’s of sadness and uncertainty because she knew he was hiding something.
She knew Sougo is hiding something and that he was too skilled to mistakenly cut someone.
You can see Sougo was surprised that Kagura came, he asked what she’s doing there. This shows that in our and Sougo’s POV, Kagura is acting out of character.
Sougo and (also the reader) will expect Kagura to not care/hate/annoyed by Sougo. He was surprised that she came and asked these questions.
Kagura doesn’t believe that Sougo is simply a murderer, eventhough he himself convinced that he was.
She heard this, she knew Sougo is protecting both her and Kirie.
Kagura knew the only way Sougo will be happy is through fighting, knowing that he stood for what he’s protecting.
2. Farewell Shinsengumi arc
The moment Sougo gave up and again, trying to convince himself he was just a manslayer without anything to protect….
Yes, Kagura showed up, and again, Sougo was surprised.
He didnt think Kagura will come, or he didnt think anyone will come at all. At this point, the shinsengumi was disbanded and everyone is already out of their uniform. (Except for Sougo)
Again, you would think that Kagura doesnt care or hates? Sougo. Hell, even Sougo himself will think that, but Kagura didnt.
She acknowledged Sougo protecting her and Soyo.
Sougo again, in disbelief. He asked Kagura “do you think i was depressed? Are you trying to cheer me up?”
Will Kagura cheer him up if she hated him? I dont think so.
3. Their farewell
Kagura reminding him to take care of himself and become stronger, to not worry about her/yorozuya/edo. It’s like a reassurance that he can leave Edo in peace after the shinsengumi disbandment.
Once again, Sougo looked surprised here. He did not expect Kagura to care. Readers will expect the same (if you are not an okikagu shippers, i mean)
I’m not saying Okikagu is canon. So far up to this point, none of the ships in Gintama are canon. We can pull out hints and fanservice here and there to make up our theory to support our ships, and nothing is wrong with that.
But Kagura does not hate Sougo.
Well she did explicitly said she hates him, i dont dispute that. But its not like Kagura does not care about Sougo. You cant take away the fact that Kagura is the one who understood Sougo the most, and has always been there for him, not only in times of their childish banter, but also during a crucial developmental arc for Sougo.
Sougo loves Kagura.
That should be obvious, i’m not going into details of that because we can see it clearly during the latest episode where he obviously missed her, searched for her and asked her to be back, reminisce their past a lot, and finally welcoming her home.
As for Kagura’s feeling, yeah, maybe she is not interested in Sougo romantically, but their dynamic is important in Sougo’s character’s development more than it was for Kagura.
1. She turned Sougo from believing he is a manslayer to believing he is a protector.
2. She believed in him.
3. She cheered him up when he was depressed and therefore making Sougo remembered his purpose.
Kagura was the one supporting him, or was he supporting her?
In Gintama, Kagura’s character is the connector of many relationships and dynamic, and an important one to Sougo’s story.
And yeah, i’m not saying its canon. Because none of the ships are canon/or will be canon. Sorachi would not go into that route.
He had boldly and sarcastically critics that route in which Jump’s shonen manga usually will take.
But still!!!
He wrote a full chapter of okikagu’s interaction. That signifies that their story is a part of Gintama as Sorachi wanted to tell it.
As i said eventhough it leaned more on Sougo’s feelings to Kagura and none vice versa, Kagura does not hate Sougo. Not in the past, and probably not in the future.
Let’s just continue our ships in happiness, i will be eating tabasco crackers and crying in happiness too watching the Okikagu scene in the live actions (still havent seen it yet someone pls help me) 😭😭😍😍😍😍😍😍

“Okairi… ”
Can we just talk about how tender (though a bit scary) Sougo’s tone was when he said, “Welcome home” to Kagura in the anime???

“ We are Yorozuya!”

My submission for the @gintamazine :) I hope people were able to snag a copy! I was heavily inspired by the Sakurane ED and wanted to portray them in an ukiyo-e style ( which seems really suitable for the series!).

Shinpachi: even if you didn’t go, that person would have...;
Sougo: disappeared?
Sougo: so it seems like Danna maybe knew about it after all.
Sougo: that that person is still alive.
*rough translation maybe not 100% accurate*
Thanks to @hanashimas for the correction!
