Gintama Chapter 519 Discussion

It's dispiriting to discover that Gintoki had been forced into such an abysmal situation. I had always wondered why Takasugi turned out the way he did despite his close relationship with Gintoki during the war. This clarifies it, although I’m still disappointed in Takasugi. If he really cared about Shouyou, then he should have considered how Shouyou would feel about his current actions. Could he honestly be proud of his position in life if Shouyou were to be watching over him? No. He’s done nothing except encompass himself with hypocritical resentment. He’s apathetic about creating more victims like himself because he’s weak-minded and self-absorbed. This isn't what Shouyou’s teachings were supposed to make his students become.



I have even more respect for Gintoki now. He followed through with his Sensei’s wishes even though it was excruciatingly painful for him to do so. Shouyou Sensei had placed him with the responsibility of protecting his comrades, and Gintoki didn’t go against that. If Gintoki had refused to kill Shouyou, then Shouyou would have probably committed seppuku. Shouyou cherished his students, and without them, he would have no purpose in life. A teacher can’t teach when he has lost his students. A teacher can’t appreciate the growth and accomplishments of his students when they have passed on at an early age. He would have felt like a failure if his students had died before him for his sake. Gintoki was aware of all of this, which is why he chose to do what he did.

hooo boy manly tears of blood were shed that day

What an end

Didn't see that coming o.o

Guess that explains why Takasugi hates Gin-chan

gintama will never be the same again. can we even go back to the dick jokes??? this shit aint funny sorachi wtf the fuck

This is too painful, he was the one who killed Shouyou-sensei, but that was the only way to save his friends.

....huh? But... but... I thought... did gin-chan just....?







Intense chapter, like usual. I always think that it's inappropriate to say, but I think I'm just gonna say it anyway; If there is someone in Jump whose writing ability actually comparable with Oda-sensei, that someone'd be Sorachi-sensei. Dude knows when to make his story intense and when to make his story nonsensical.



And the feels man, it's the FRIGGIN' FEELS!!

Speechless, Still having goosebumps till now.. damn feels dont know where to start..

I am just… did that just… Gintoki!!??? Shiroyasha!!?? i don't even fucking know anymore. I'm speechless. I would seriously give up my life just to see this animated right fucking now
