When I saw that Mukuro, now Nobume, cried, it almost killed me. In the start of this arc, I thought that Kondo and Matsudaira have death flags, now it's Sasaki has a big big death flag.
Sasaki is a fantastically developed character, hats off to Sorachi for making a character you hate from the bottom of your heart at first, to a character you can cheer and cry for!
