A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 638
MY 8 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 638:
1) That was a seriously traumatic moment. Kondou looked like he freaking disintegrated.
2) I didn’t think Sorachi-sama would kill off Kondou and Otae AND Otose in one chapter like that, but that still was a nightmarish sight.
3) Only shitty Utsuro would try to wipe out the entire universe with the Hinokagutsuchi and the Altana terminal. As if wiping out Earth wasn’t enough. He’s such an evil asshole.
4) I loved Gin-chan’s words and how these two panels were set up: as if he was actually trying to bite off Utsuro’s head.
5) I couldn’t believe Gintoki and Utsuro were going to have their showdown amidst all this destruction. It made me both excited and super anxious.
6) I was trying to figure out how they would stop the Altana bursts and of course shamefully forgot about Sadaharu’s actual role on Earth when it mattered the most.
7) Awwwww.
8) Big fluffy floofball to the rescue! I love him so much!
SHIPS TALLY:
Gintoki x Hijikata or Okita x Kagura or Gintoki x Kamui or Okita x Kamui or Gintoki x Shinpachi or Gintoki x Kagura or any other combo that is appropriate: because they could have potentially all died together had the Altana blasts hit in the wrong spot.
Disclaimer: Gintama is not only about shipping. Gintama is hilarious, clever, exciting, poignant, heart-breaking, loving, brilliant, and just so freaking amazing. It is only due to Sorachi-sama’s generosity that I can enjoy Gintama on yet another level, the shippy level, and I am forever grateful for that. GINTAMA IS LIFE AND LOVE.
