#gintama trio

[justpendule]

I'm thinking about Gintama and the Shoka Sonjuku trio right now and how, at the end of the war, Gintoki and Takasugi vanished into thin air, leaving everyone with no news of their whereabouts, unaware of whether they were alive or dead. It must have been a terrifying time for Gintoki and Takasugi, despite everything they went through during the war, to not know whether or not the other was alive.

But, there was Zura. Zura, who never stopped fighting, and who rose against the oppressors when no one else dared to. Zura, who was wanted by the police, and thus, who had his face plastered all around Japan on wanted posters.

And I like to imagine that, when the fear of the possibility of having lost each others would overcome Gintoki and Takasugi, they would simply wander the streets, and find comfort at the sight of Zura's wanted posters. A proof that the man is alive, doing well, and has not lost his flame, contrary to them (or at least they would believe so).

Just like a lighthouse, Zura's face and dedication would be here to ground them, to remind them that they are not alone, and that their spirit, and Shouyou's, is still alive, no matter what.

I got a cool drawing tablet for my birthday and then I watched some Lupin.

Thoughts about Sakamoto

The guy is known as the loud fellow in a series like Gintama, that says a lot. But beyond being eccentric, he’s known for his huge heart and his love for money the people. He’s like the heart of the Joui 4 group and his bond with them is emotional and inspiring. His optimistic attitude was the light in the dark times of war.

It's interesting to think that Gintoki, Takasugi and Katsura, a group so united (due to their past, their motivations) would let Tatsuma in. But possibly it wasn't that they let him in, but that he simply made his way and, without anyone noticing, he became part of the group and its dynamics. I think Sakamoto's kindness also helped and perhaps, in a way, he reminded them of their sensei.

Tatsuma's compassion extended not only to his companions, but also to his enemies, as demonstrated in the Rakuyo arc flashback. He didn't intend for his arm to be rendered useless, but he accepted it anyway, as did his friends. Everyone understood that his place wasn’t in the war (although he was very talented with the sword), but in other battles.

His true nature came out in Kaientai arc, in which he meets Mutsu. Here he not only manages to change her, but he also manages to free all the slaves from human trafficking, becoming part of his crew and stealing the criminals’ ships. His ability to change people for the better is also demonstrated with Nobu Nobu later on.

However, it should be noted that Sakamoto is one of the least developed characters of the main cast. The little information there was about him was always scattered in different arcs in which he wasn’t the focus (even the Kaientai arc was more about Mutsu). We never saw why he learned swordsmanship or how was the internal process of him becoming disabled (if he wanted he could’ve used his other arm, implying he decided not to).

In both Rakuyo arc and Silver Soul arc he was involved in very similar situations, having to be saved in both cases by Mutsu (and whether we like it or not, that makes him look less capable). He never had any real opportunities to shine, and I feel like his character was only superficially explored, when he’d a lot to give. His only role at the end was to improve Nobu Nobu as a person, which was somewhat useless because he died shortly after.

I think Tatsuma would’ve been the perfect character to develop the sci-fi aspect of Gintama, in the sense of exploring other planets and the alien life that exists on them. He could’ve given odd jobs to the Yorozuya (bad um tsss) and thus justify the alien missions, taking advantage of the space travel in the series and, perhaps, giving more development to the Liberation Army, the Harusame and the Tendoushuu from the start.

gintama was genuinely insane for making the final battle 3/4 of the main antagonists fused into one guy

[sasukeless]

what always gets me most of takazura convo in the benizakura arc is that zura genuinely wants to make takasugi see through reason and takasugi asks zura what is in the world that lets him cope with what happened to shoyo and them and i do believe he's genuine about wanting to know zura's answer but the key part here is how zura answers to this. because he brings up gintoki and how gintoki is enduring the pain and obviously zura is saying it because to him seeing that if gintoki is able to find things that are worthy then he also can do the same. but the problem with this logic for takasugi is that we later get revealed that takasugi's endless seek for revenge and wanting to destroy everything is not only for what happened shoyo but also for what gintoki had to go through so to heard that gintoki is enduring the pain would not help to see takasugi reason at all. it does the complete opposite effect really. he hates the fact that gintoki has to bear that. but obviously zura doesnt know this either

I don’t look at twitter much so this is just a word of mouth, but I heard that akane banash isn’t doing so good in the weekly toc lately and Im worrieds that it gonna get cancelled before it gets an anime,,,

I hear is fine so long as it doesn’t fall in to bottom5~1 of toc but considering how most of the manga that are currently in bottom 5 gonna end soon I’m still worrieds :/

If Akane banash gets cancel sooner than that unfunny copaganda I stfg 

Oh no, I'm not on twitter either so I've been under the blissfully ignorant (?) assumption that it's happily settled in the middle. I hope it's not in trouble; I can't take another PPPPPP situation (but that did worse before it was killed before its time cancelled so there's that). Take my baseless speculation with a grain of salt, because idk how Jump decides what to keep and what to axe (besides pure popularity/sales), but I'd guess it's not in any immediate danger? I mean this round Green Green Greens is getting axed, Dear Anemone is probably next and Ruri Dragon has permanently moved to digital publication, and next round, who can say, maybe new series will get cut again, maybe a long-running series will have ended? It seems mad to axe a series that's been running for over 2 years already and sells ~50k when so many long-running series are ending soon. Then again, who knows, maybe a big name author will come back next round and WSJ'll do something crazy (this is another jab at PPPPPP's axing). Anyway, hopefully the climax of Akane-Banashi's current arc will give it a boost in popularity waaay before next round. I'm biased as a AB fan, but no doubt that it will be fire!

If anyone more knowledgeable can weigh in, please do!

Best shounen anime trios imo:

[allmightydepression]

These three anime trios collectively hold more power over me than the government

No other tropes revolving around relationship building matters to me more than found family, n these idiots have excellent grades on annoying the shit outta each other while also murdering those who threaten their bunch of idiots, and I fucking adore it every single time -

Wintry image with the Shoka Sonjuku trio following their teacher. Did this really happen? Or is it only in their memories? Originally a Christmas card, now posted online.
