MY 13 FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 628:

1) I couldn’t decide on the representative panel for the fact that everybody we cared about was there (except those in space), so I had to chose this generic one which was effective in driving home the fact.

2) Dear sweet Shinpachi...it made me happy to see so many different people fighting together too.

3) The new and improved Hedoro-eva.

4) Just...their judgey reactions.

5) Amazingly, Gintoki actually made Hedoro even creepier than he looked before.

6) Poor Kondou...not even good enough to be straight man fodder.

7) Honestly, I echoed their reactions to Hedoro, Kondou and Gin-chan’s straight-man routine.

8) Again, dear sweet Shinpachi...for recognizing how hard Gintoki has been fighting for all of them.

9) I loved Gintoki’s words to Kagura and Shinpachi: “You did well keeping up with this good-for-nothing boss. But maybe it’s thanks to such unreliable adults that you two have gotten stronger.”

10) I wished so much that they lasted longer so that they COULD have heard what they don’t get to hear too often from their “boss”.

11) Okita yawning. I don’t think I need to explain further.

12) I actually wanted Hijikata to be looking for a partner for you-know-what during the black-out, but of course I didn’t want it to be that lady...or a lady at all. 

13) I was worried...although, truth be told, I thought they would attack the town during the night, when everyone had their guards down. Kiiiinda wish that happened cuz it would’ve been pretty brutal. 

SHIPS TALLY:

Toujou x Kyuubei: Kyuu-chan looked so pretty and it was so sweet that Toujou was loyally by her bedside, but I was most of all relieved that she was just sleeping and not dead. 

Gintoki x Sacchan: I doubt Sacchan would’ve helped the birthrate considering where she was positioned, but I can never fault her for trying to take advantage of a situation...even though I still wish she would just give up on Gin-chan already.

Gintoki x Tsukuyo: I was so freaking sure this was going to lead to the official canonization of this ship...I was prepared to mourn the death of my OTP. 

Sacchan x Tsukuyo: I do think they would make a cute couple, but since I also can’t for sure say my wish for this ship is born from a sense of altruism, I’m not gonna push too hard for it. 

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.
