Gintama manga chap 651
Dear Gintama gods and Sorachi-sama,
I think from now until I am certain that Sadaharu is safely out of the danger zone, I will start each letter by asking you to please spare the big puppy’s life. Seeing Utsuro appear behind Ane, Mone, Komako, and Sadaharu made my teeth clench so hard I was giving myself lockjaw. I hope Kagura and the others make it in time to save them; I can only imagine how horrible Kagura would feel if anything were to happen to Sadaharu since it’s obvious she already feels guilty for motivating him to spring into action. That intensely worried expression on her face as she was trying to race to his side really hurt my heart. For her sake, I sincerely don’t even want one single strand of fur to be harmed on his fluffy body, but if you are feeling a bit brutal, then all I ask is that you only inflict a non-life threatening eye injury on him—that Utsuro would only be able to cause such a minor degree of damage. Not that I wouldn’t be distressed from seeing him hurt, but at least Sadaharu could survive an eye injury and plus, he’ll look pretty cool with an eyepatch so it wouldn’t be a completely bad thing.
The second person I want to ask you to spare is Abuto. That moment when he departed from Kamui filled me with a sudden sense of foreboding because his words were almost too meaningful. They felt like final parting words, and Kamui’s response of immediately taking them to heart and acting upon them to protect his family only reinforced my misgivings.  Even seeing Kamui get injured didn’t waver my concern for Abuto; Kamui has sustained even worse injuries than that from his own little sister so I have no doubt that the stab wound is little more than a pinprick for him. I sincerely hope I’m just being overly paranoid about Abuto because if we have to see another precious partner/right-hand man die, I would just be completely crushed.
But putting all my anxieties aside for now, let me thank you for letting our beloved Yato clan come together! When Papi appeared at the end there, I jumped up and cheered. I cannot wait to see this family fight together as one united front. I almost wish there wasn’t such a rush to action in order to rescue Sadaharu and the others so that the Yato clan can have a proper reunion with prolonged conversations. What further excites me is the potential meet up between Sougo and Kagura’s family; it’d be the equivalent of the future son-in-law meeting his future in-laws for me. Better yet, I hope he fights alongside them or at least gets to see up close their combined combat powers and be completely impressed. Again, I cannot tell where he is geographically speaking, but I hope it’s close enough to the Yato family’s location that they will cross paths.  Even if we get only a brief scene between them like last time, I would be more than gratified because I know you will make it super sweet and awesome. Â
With Umibouzu’s reappearance, does that also mean that he’s found a way to defeat Utsuro? I’m sure Gintoki can use all the helpful information he could provide since physically, he’s in no state to even fight his old teacher at full strength. All the Joui boys look in dire need of some down time and I hope that you can somehow provide them with a short reprieve from the fighting so that they could recover from their many injuries. I sense that everyone will eventually meet at the terminal, and I completely look forward to the mult-group reunion, but I hope that once they are able to stop the Altana from flowing out of control, perhaps Utsuro will back off for a period of time just so we could all catch our collective breaths. A break from being constantly worried for everyone’s well-being would be most appreciated so I hope you will have mercy on us and consider my humble request. Â
Yours truly,
A silly fangirl with yaoi dreams
(^3^) Â Â
PS: my beloved Gintoki and Hijikata were once again separated but I am still thankful for this very sweet moment between Kamui and Abuto. I especially love how endearing Abuto looks as he advises his bratty little rabbit leader.Â
