I just want to gush out over whatever drip this Nobunobu was into because
THIS
is a LOOK
DISCLAIMER: I DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT FASHION
first of all i’m going nuts over how his inner shirt/garment has the same pattern as his obi. That means his inner shirt is also made of silk! befitting for a royal like him! wish i knew what the pattern is though!
also the inner shirt covers his whole neck??!!! aaaaaa
next his obi (or belt)! this looks like fukuro obi! it’s the most formal type and size of women’s obi! it’s width is so big! and cumbersome! and totally unnecessary! but nobunobu wears it coz it’s super stylish!
he doesn’t knot it at the back though. so is the obi length cut short? how is it fastened? i wonder if parts of it are just folded. but he still wears an obi cord to tie it in place!
obi cord tied like a smol ribbon. rawr..
next his long coat! Looks badass! but also! it’s a more refined version of katsura and gintoki’s costumes from harusame arc!
next, his upper garment and pants. are those made of leather? black silk? idk but it looks sleek and made of good and durable quality fabric,
question though. how short is his upper kimono-like garment anyway? and to what extent does the obi cover? is the upper garment tucked in the pants? is the top of the pants under the obi?
the answer:
the upper garment is super short (like a crop top????). there nothing is peeking out from under the obi! how?!!!
the inner garment is the short sleeve type!
Also, see! There is no knot behind the obi!
Aside from pooping in this pants there was no way nobu could’ve properly returned the pants to sit properly under his obi. he’s gonna have to redo the whole belt. changing into sweatshirt and pants were much easier.
anyway the pattern of the inner shirt suddenly changed to maple leaves (was sorachi running out of those pattern thingies?)
oh man no matter how i look at it, the whole ensemble still looks cool. impractical..but cool.

(I love it whenever Gintama does the episode title reveal at a specific moment where you’ll understand its meaning)
This is the second time Nobunobu has made me cry, and sadly, it seems like it will be the last. Always love a good redemption story, and I’d certainly count this as one.
I love that Sakamoto was the most visibly shook over his death (Shinichiro Miki’s performance was amazing),
since the moment they captured Nobunobu he was always there trying to talk sense to him and ended up leading him to the path of redemption in the first place. Sakamoto saved Nobunobu’s soul, but in the end
he couldn’t save his life.
Getting some recognition from Zura was great as well, especially after he said he won’t look up to Nobunobu as shogun, but if the real shogun (Shigeshige) was there, perhaps he would, only a few moments earlier.
I’m glad Ensho’s backstory was shown in the previous episode, getting a sudden reveal for his character would’ve distracted me from Nobunobu’s part a bit, this way we understood where he was coming from and that he ultimately got what was coming for him without thinking about it too much in the moment, which made his death being so unceremonious compared to Nobunobu’s more appropriate.
The saddest thing about all this is that Nobunobu can never meet Soyo at Shigeshige’s grave which means Soyo will, by her own words, never forgive him. Sometimes death is sudden and you just don’t get that perfect closure, whenever you see that in a story it’s frustrating but just makes it feel that much more real.
Farewell, Tokugawa Nobunobu the shogun, may you too be relieved of your duties, and find peace as simply Nobunobu the man, as simply another buddy~

[ I won't forgive you, unless you came back alive. ]
Sadly he didn’t make it.
Their farewell is one of the most sadly moment in Gintama for me ;-;
I wish he could came back and become the good Shogun like Shigeshige and have Soyo along side with him.
