#gintoki vs batou

[regnigt]

Both in the Infant Strife and the Battle of Rakuyo arc, Gintoki wins a fight against an opponent lacking normal eyesight who compensates in other ways and is still dangerous (Batou much moreso than Nizo, but Nizo does have good feats).

In both cases, not only does the narrative first fool the audience by following along with the opponent's mistaken view of reality, but when the truth is revealed it's still perhaps not entirely clear to everyone what really happened, or at least how the opponent was deluded.

And then there is what happens in chapter 703...

Was this aspect of the other two fights foreshadowing that final battle?

[EP 322] Ten Years

Rakuyou Arc VI

PLOT: Two down, one to go; last up, Gintoki vs. Batou with mistaken identities and illusions galore. And in the end, a certain character awakens and a certain quartet reunite.

(Katsura maintained his hair after 10 years. I want to know his secret.)

Zurafuro Does: Gintama 2017 Marathon!! [Battle on Rakuyo Arc + Battle Highlights Part 2]

Continuing on from 2 days ago, the Joui Warriors along with their henchmen went their way on Rakuyo (Kagura’s home planet) in a mission to retrieve Takasugi from the Harusame. However, they were ambushed by the first wave of Harusame’s henchmen moments later upon their arrival― later they realize that Harusame are already on the planet before them. After, defeating the first wave, they went on their way to Takasugi’s refuge. This upset one of the leaders of the first wave, the head of the 4th division of Harusame.

While the allied forces are making their way to Takasugi’s aid, Umibozu and the rest of the Yato and other henchmen of the Kihetai already has him in attempts to evacuate him to another location. A huge boulder suddenly explodes and drops on Umibozu. The mighty Yato didn’t back down, and fires the boulder back at the enemy, receiving critical damage beyond comprehension. 

ANYWAYS MOVING FORWARD!!!

The Three Mad Stars were introduced, and those three will battle Gintoki, Katsura, and Tatsuma respectively. 

Katsura vs Monkey  ( Z: I’m sorry, I verily simply cannot remember his name, because he made his introductions too f**** LONG )

There’s nothing really extravagant during my battle with this monkey, but what made this battle special was the moment I prepared myself to unleash my inner myself. (Including the moment I reveal half of my upper body to my fans―FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!)

The battle concluded with me as the winner, the monkey as the loser. It was really a good match, and I find him a worthy opponent, having to admit his loss to someone like me.

AT THE BACK OF MY MIND:

(Z: SUCK THAT SH*T, YOU FRIGGIN MONKEY!!!)

Tatsuma vs The Robot Scammer

While we battle on ground, Tatsuma battles the enemy on air. However, their victory was cut short after they were invaded by a machine that feeds on its host and controls them against their will. The idiot thought that the enemy that he was about to encounter was a scammer, but then again, Tatsuma still has some wits left, so he’s not that stupid to fall in the enemy’s trap. Or so he was.

He was too late to realize that the enemy had already infested Nobu’s body. The machine later infects Mutsu, leaving Tatsuma all alone. However, a miracle came― Mutsu broke the effects of the machine’s control of her and made a comeback to help Tatsuma, eventually ending the match with Tatsuma’s win.

FINALLY

Gintoki vs The Third Eyed Man

There was a saying, “Save the best for last”, and the episode did. At first, the atmosphere was very horrendous, but it turned in to a comical skit short after (this is before the start of their actual match). The enemy actually mistook Gintoki’s legendary title as PAKUYASA (WTH!!!??? 😂😂😂)

Gintoki constantly enlighten the confused opponent, but he too mistook the enemy for something else. He actually mistook his opponent as the one who either lent him (the enemy) his (Gintoki) money or the one who wants his (the enemy) money back. (omg.....) 

After the short comical reunion, their match began. The enemy seemed to have the upper-hand at first, but our savage and badass Gintoki make his comeback by confusing the enemy with his illusionary imagery of himself.

The battle went on for about an hours on Gintama’s timeline, but eventually it ended with Gintoki’s victory over Batou.

Now that we defeated the so called, The Three Mad Stars, we resume on our way to Takasugi’s aid.
