Something that I always find to be a missed opportunity in Gintama was the fact that... Gintoki as an adult, was never shown or given a chance to fight using an Odachi. Because seeing his fighting style, I could totally imagine him to be able to fight using an Odachi.

Reason? It's because of that weird fighting style he do whenever he did a wide slashing attack while using his whole body in a twist motion.

You can often see him do this circular motion whenever he attacks opponents who's taller or bigger than himself or when he does his guerrilla attacks with multiple opponents... like during the Benizakura arc.

A habit, which is likely derived from his fighting using an uchigatana as a child. While we never really get to see Gintoki using the uchigatana that Shouyo gave him, or when he used to be at that death valley where Shouyo found him, we got enough scenes seeing how long was the uchigatana's blade was compared to Gintoki's height. Like the long sword was almost as long as kid!Gintoki's height! I mean, he must've used that kind of movement as a child when he used an uchigatana to fight... at least whenever he wanna unsheath the sword quick. So if Gintoki as a kid was able to fight using an uchigatana and win against full adults (other than Shouyo), by rights, Gintoki could fight using an Oodachi as an adult.

So yeah, this is my personal headcanon.

But hey... at least in The Final, Sorachi did let Gintoki fight using a laser lance/spear so that's as close as one can get to seeing him with an Oodachi. XD

My contribution to the @fiveofakindzine

I had a lot of fun illustrating this and have the chance to take part in a project with my favourite gang of misfits. You can find the digital zine attached to this post, which also includes my little artist statement on the piece (I've never done that before it was pretty exciting lol!)

Go check it out and show your support for the other artists and writers!
