WTF, what was the point in chapter 519 if Gintoki didn't kill Shouyou but that "man" I took that line as being about who's responsible for it. But attempting to take responsability from Gin is....a shitty move. Even without knowing who gave the order the situation was always that he was forced to play executioner and and it was a huge weight to bear. Messing with this would also leave much of the development Gin got in the Shinigami arc kinda nowhere.
But it was just one line so I'm not gonna assume anything else until more happens.
Right now I'm glad that whatever/whoever Utsuro is he and Shoyou seem to be different people *wipes sweat off brow*
And I'm still so invested in Nobume and Isaburo. A lot of Gintama is about found families and the two really found each other in the most messed up way but they ended up really caring about each other.  I hope they reunite and both live ;;;
