#takatin

2) Omggg lol

3) Just cuz it’s a close-up of Hijikata’s abs.

4) He was never shown but I’m certain that was Sadaharu’s contribution to the team.

5) He’s so adorable!!!

6) Gin-chan looked like a total creeper behind Hijikata and of course I loved it so much.

7) He was saying this to Hijikata. I mean, come on do I even need to explain why?

8) These two shame-faced, adorable dorks.

9) Their matching expressions at their cheating teammates.

10) I just loved how miserable Yamazaki looked because of his hairstyle, which is even more funny now since we know how he looked when he first joined the Shinsengumi. 

11) Sougo asking Yamazaki that just makes me laugh every time for some reason.

12) Just cuz.

13) Just cuz again. How can you blame me???

14) I’m not a fan of Takatin but I did think it was cute how Gin-chan kept on trying to high five him.

15) Ok and this is why I don’t like the ending of this episode or Takatin: he SOILED his ugly yellow briefs and then was dropped into the pool, and poor Gintoki and Kagura followed in. So they’re like IN the water where his SHIT is and as if that’s not enough the anime team had to make sure we saw that they were FACE DOWN in that cesspool. Omg I want to vomit. My poor babies. Forever unclean.

SHIPS TALLY:

Gintoki x Hijikata: I literally did not even know Hijikata had his hand on Gintoki’s mouth until I watched this episode for the first time. In the manga, it wasn’t as obvious and I think I just assumed it was Gintoki covering his own mouth cuz he was trying not to laugh at the fact that Tsusengumi were cheaters as well. On top of that, their interaction was just so freaking adorable in this episode over all. 

Hijikata x Yamazaki: omg Yamazaki was acting like he was in one of those afternoon dramas Zura likes to watch: like he was some housewife who was molested by Gintoki and Takatin and was begging his angry husband Hijikata to let it go because he doesn’t want any more trouble.  

Kondou x Hijikata: Kondou was being so supportive of Toshi as usual.

Hijikata Tosshi x Otsuu: I could almost believe that’s actually Tosshi coming through based on that silly look on his face. 

Kondou x Otsuu: considering she spared him from the pool, I think Kondou had more of a shot with Otsuu than he ever did with Tae-chan. 

Shinpachi x Takatin: seriously, what’s with the romantic, dream-bubble graphics???
