Gintama Chapter 697 Discussion

The beginning with Prince Hata was hilarious!



So many feels towards the end. This series is definitely coming to an end.

Nostalgia came gushing through with this chapter!!!! One final bow remaining in the last chapter next time!!!!

Wasn't it supposed to end in 2 chapters?

I mean, with 5 chapters left at 694, it should have 699 chapters, so I was super shocked to find out next chapter was the last when I read it in the last pageWhen they meant five chapters left, it also included 694 too.

One more chapter left, damn.

                        Lol, the Prince Hata stuff was great! How dare they censor his charm point, lol. Can't wait to see the Yorozuya reassemble again. That smiling dude has to be Kamui using that transformation technique. We have everyone here, ready for action! Asaemon and Shachi missing again, lol.



It feels like Gintama is ending, at the same time, it feels like its not. Everyone (minus Kamui... sort of) has made their appearance in the timeskip and they're ready to join in. At the same time, the last couple of chapters have made little plot-progression, despite the countdown being announced and everything. If we get a rushed conclusion, I'd wonder why I had to go through 3 chapters of "AHO" for. And with the next and final chapter being normal length, it's even more worrying.



At this rate, we won't see a proper closure and it might be an open-ended one. Or the conclusion is off-screen. Or the ending is troll af. Or, as people are predicting, we might get a couple of chapters published on Jump GIGA to end the story (preferable 2 to end at the 700 chapter mark).



Whatever the ending may be, I think the true climax was the Utsuro fight, and everything after is just a super-lengthy epilogue. Gintama's blessed enough to have a 30 chapter epilogue, but even then, it still doesn't feel enough :P

noo... i cried! what a hype ending...



what a journey...

hasn't Sorachi missed something? If I calculated right, the last chapter should have been 700th

Gintama has been an amazing journey till this point.



Really emotional chapter.

Where is Zenzou? :(

I don't know how Hideaki's gonna end it with just one chapter. I mean it felt like things are just warming up. With just 20 pages answering the unanswered ques is impossible if not rushed. So I can't help thinking it's just another troll or at least I want it to be.

I don't want to say bye to this series. This might just be another thing that gorilla sensei is pulling to fool us. Gintama will never end.

I was prepared for it to end, but at this point I was expecting another 2 chapters (one to finish the battle and the last one for, I don't know, normal Gintama shit) so I'm afraid of how it's gonna end

Probably something like the 2nd movie where Gintoki, Kagura, Shinpachi and Sadaharu (how is he gonna bring him back with only 1 chapter left?, if he intends to bring him back that is) leaving their place to go work. That would be a really good ending.

Well, I can only wait to see what's gonna happen next week.

I still wanna see Kamui and the bald tho 😂😂

But I have hope Sorachi-sensei will wrap up things and give Gintama a good ending (if it really is ending, Lol).
