Upon rereading Kintama arc, I’m just reminded of how absolutely cruel and fascinating Kintoki was as a villain. Him purposely returning Shinpachi and Kagura’s memories knowing that Otae will find the two and bring them back to Gintoki, and initially setting that, setting the four of them together as the trigger that will destroy the world is just so damn sadistic and ruthless. It’s so awesome. There’s no pity, there’s no hint of consideration, just pure evil. And Man. I love that for Kintoki.

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.

(sequel to this and not including the arcs already mentioned in it, though some of them are character-development-y; almost included shinsengumi death game, memory loss, and hasegawa prosecution, but one had to go so i cut them all for equality; and gintoki’s the main character of a lot of arcs but i think shinigami is one of the more significant ones that wasn’t already in my previous poll)

#gintama #chitra.txt #this one is harder for me to choose on then the first one lol #im also gonna run an iconic comedy arc poll and maybe another one to fit memory loss and kintama #its fun to see and its fun to list them

gintama was fucking insane for putting gintoki and the ideal (but false) narrative in a sexual relationship. i never said that. but i remember it and i just stare at the wall and sigh and plot gintama on the venn diagrams of stories making radically good storytelling moves for real. right next to homestuck and haruhi

yeah gintoki has to keep bearing the story. except for one aspect of it that he straight-up refuses to do: he will deny remembering anything. sorry, memory machine broken, i fell into the sea as a child and cannot swim. this is why gintoki and tama, gintama's memory bank, are one single cyborg actually

#all that talk about inherent hauntedness of robots and inherent robotlike nature of immortals and utsuro and tama and whatnot #and obi hajime and robot yamazaki. mwah #''maybe household appliances need to have it together in order to be useful'' shut up gintoki im crowdfounding you a good therapist #''tama you can't die! every homeless person needs a dog and a radio!'' i said SHUT UP you are breaking my heart #tamaposting #kintama arc my beloved
