#and how sakamoto so perfectly understood shouyou

[teatitty]

Drives me absolutely crazy that when Sorachi was asked if Takasugi lived or died at the end his response was basically "I honestly didn't think much about it I just wanted to end the series with as many gags as possible" because on one hand it's super on brand for him to do that but on the other I simply think that, given Sakamoto's words about Shouyou protecting his students, I can't help imagining an alternative, less ambiguous ending wherein Shouyou used the altana to fully revive Takasugi instead or something

I have a vision and I need to enact it
