Hello there! For the mini event may you please do gintama with the au avatar the last airbender, thank you!

Hello there, my lovely anon! I definitely can do that - I really couldn't come up with solid ideas, so I admit to taking the lazy way out, so have a pretty comprehensive list on what type of Benders everyone would be in this AU! And guys, there are so many characters in Gintama so I swear it wasn't as easy and lazy as it looks! Thanks for sending in a request and I hope you'll enjoy!

Okay, so we're going into this AU with there being the four major bending types - Earth, Air, Fire and Water. Each bending type is as it is portrayed in Avatar: The Last Airbender, with people possessing different degrees of bending and different skills being present within each bending type.

So, when considering which type of Bender each character would be, I kind of broke it down into personality types and traits and qualities to look for, based on what I figure the 'stereotypical' Bender is for each of the four.

Earth Benders are a little rough around the edges, slow to anger, slow to decide on things, but stubborn once their mind is made up. They can be sensitive and they are often very patient.

Air Benders are gentle souls, respectful and adaptable, changeable. They're fast, both in their movements and in their thoughts.

Water Benders are typically calm and easy-going, flexible enough to adapt to their companions or situations. They're often quite easy to talk to and rather content with their lives.

Fire Benders are often prideful and confident individuals who are loyal, determined and ambitious. They can be very playful and fun but they often also have very short fuses on their tempers, which can be very volatile and explosive.

Keeping that in mind, this is what I figure the characters would be for Benders.

revisiting the rokkaku arc (an analysis)

Listen, I will always love rokkaku arc for the sougo-focus and shippy reasons. In the same way, the Gintama Wiki says Sougo has only ever apologized to two women, Mitsuba and Kagura (though I’m a bit doubtful on this since he casually apologizes to people more or less, Kagura’s was in between a gag and serious, still hilarious though, sorry Sho-chan), I think he has only ever used keigo (polite speech) for Mitsuba, and Kagura. Though in Kagura’s case, it was after threats, but that’s it, that’s their literal dynamic. And this whole interaction is again just funny to me because rather than a wolf, Kagura has the guts to treat Sougo like a damn puppy. 

But in all seriousness though. Sougo is always blank-faced or evil-faced. In Hijikata’s words, it’s as if he has no weaknesses. Whenever he interacts with any other character, he almost always comes out on top. Meanwhile, his sweet side is only reserved for Kondou and Mitsuba, and yet at the same time, interactions with Kagura have him shedding that blank mask. He gets casually annoyed like when he was a kid, when emotions would show more often on his face as compared to the deadpan face he dons on now (part of me thinks he became even more deadpan when Mitsuba died). You can see him get angry, and it’s always a tie between him and Kagura. If he embarrasses Kagura, she gets him back.

In this one conversation, Kagura says she hates him, but acknowledges his skill. More than that she cuts to the truth of the matter. She’s confident in saying that he’s not a murderer, so why is he pretending to be one? She wants him to tell the truth, not just for Kirie’s sake, but for his sake as well. For all that she says she hates him, the truth outs and instead shows her concern for him. (Which Sougo calls out-of-character for her; this later gets paralleled when Kagura calls him out-of-character for trying to say goodbye during the Farewell Shinsengumi arc. In conclusion, they’re both tsunderes ffs.) And for Sougo’s part, because Kagura isn’t someone he can easily intimidate, because she’s so annoying that he can’t easily shut her out, he ends up giving away pieces of the truth. This is a secret he’s kept for over two years, but one way or the other, he opens up to Kagura.

*Also I just really love the fact that he calls her ‘ojou-san’, even if mockingly, instead of his usual ‘komusume’ or ‘gaki’. 

In the same way, I think Kagura may be the only (?) woman (besides Mitsuba of course), that he’s given his gratitude to. Again for shippy reasons, I can’t believe they’re talking about how a woman’s heart easily changes, in this case Kagura’s heart. It’s serious fanfic fuel. Because in the same way, Sougo is opening up, Kagura’s opinion toward him also slowly changes. (I also love how between the both of them, Sougo is almost always the tsukkomi, which rarely happens otherwise.)

And this conversation is just so important. Sougo of course has the Shinsengumi. Even with Hijikata, and then later on with Gintoki, he shows a bit of vulnerability. But with Kagura now, he’s quite honest. He’s openly showing his vulnerability. And Kagura never exploits that weakness. 

This, to me, is a really important aspect of their bond, shipping or otherwise. Because this conversation ties so well to the Shogun Assasination arc, and the Farewell Shinsengumi arc. Through this conversation, Kagura gets to know more about the Sadist, what makes him tick, what’s important to him. He’s not just a little shit, but someone with his own insecurities that he tries to fight against to protect what’s important. And Kagura can respect that, but more than that, Kagura is the person to reassure him about those insecurities. For all that Sougo admits he’s a killer, Kagura instead calls him a softie who can’t even stand the mere sight of a girl’s tears. This ties so well to when Kagura reassures Sougo much later on that Soyo didn’t hate him or wasn’t afraid of him. 

But I disagree with Sougo when he says a ‘kid’ like Kagura wouldn’t understand. Because Kagura is an unbelievably intuitive person, and I love that so much about her character. 

Kagura shies away from killing because she doesn’t want to lose to herself, and Sougo for his part probably sees her as someone clean or pure, and therefore someone who won’t be able to understand him, though it’s not her fault. Kids are supposed to be innocent after all. The Shinsengumi are supposed to dirty their hands so the innocent won’t have to. But that’s absolutely wrong. Kagura has Kamui as a brother. And though she shies away from killing, she absolutely understands what it means to protect something. And as someone who constantly fights to win against herself, Kagura is the one who can reassure ‘killers’ like Sougo, Kamui, and Nobume. 

Sougo for his part, despite his reservations and his preconceptions about roles, still ends up unleashing his burdens to a ‘kid’ anyway. I guess in that aspect, Kagura is really an intriguing existence for Sougo. She’s not a fellow officer like Nobume whose hands are expected to get dirty. She’s not a villain like Kamui who he’s expected to defeat. She’s supposed to be part of the people he protects, a civilian, and yet he fights seriously against her, never underestimating her. By his own definition, she’s part of the people he’s supposed to get his hands dirty for, and yet despite his propensity to handle his problems himself, Kagura with all her bullheaded stubbornness manages to be there for him anyway, to support him one way or another. Maybe Sougo always thought he had to do it alone because he was the strongest, but he can’t pull that crap with Kagura because Kagura is as, if not stronger than him. Kagura doesn’t fall into a neat box or category for him. He protects and fights her, while she fights and supports him.

LISTEN, I WILL ALWAYS BE BITTER MITSUBA DIED. This arc also subtly ties with the Mitsuba arc I think. For one, Sougo mentions his aneue, although for gag reasons, Kagura still gets to find out that Sougo had an older sister who died. 

For all that we joke that Sougo’s gag proposal answers Kagura’s wish to never have an empty house again, Kagura’s statements here answers Mitsuba’s words when she said Sougo was always alone because he was ‘selfish, obstinate, and stubborn’. I will forever and always be bitter that we didn’t get to see more of Mitsuba. She would have been reassured and unbelievably happy that Sougo despite the way he is, is no longer alone. It’s not even just his brothers in the Shinsengumi, but rather for all his faults, there are other idiots like him willing to fight for him, support him, and protect him. In Kagura’s words in the manga, ‘idiots travel in packs’. I just can’t even imagine what would have happened had Mitsuba met Kagura. I think somehow, she would have been deeply grateful for her. 

I love Kagura so much. That care and sensitivity, not just towards Kirie, but also towards Sougo. She knows him so well, despite all of his efforts to guard himself and hide. All of their interactions thus far lead her to confidently say that he’d be happiest with someone there to fight and trying to kill him (and personally for me, I think he’s happiest when fighting Kagura, see: post-timeskip). 

In other words, this was a great arc for character insights and relationship building, not just for Sougo, but also Kagura. It’s not even for entirely shippy reasons. That mutual understanding and constant support amidst that outward dislike (they’re tsunderes, I tell you) is just another thing that makes their relationship and interactions so compelling. For all that Kagura knows him so well, Sougo proves that he also knows her just as much as the Feigned Illness arc and Post-Timeskip arc would show. 

And how many chapters and arcs later, it’s still Kagura who gives him the reassurance he needs, and with character development marching on, he even finds it in himself to be vulnerable for once and actively seek her out for that exact same reassurance that only she can give. 

I just really love mutually hella supportive ships. And it’s for these reasons, that I really think they’re perfect for each other. I honestly think Kagura is a special existence for Sougo. She’s the recipient for so many exceptions and out-of-character moments for him, that I think even after the manga has ended, no other girl for him will do.

Niimi Nishiki

Niimi Nishiki (1836-1863)

He belongs to Serizawa's group and is a master (Menkyo Kaiden) of the Shinto Munen Ryu like Serizawa. He is thought to be from the Mito area like Serizawa and was said to be Serizawa's right hand man. At one point he was also a commander but apparently got demoted to Vice-Commander. He was said to be forced to commit hara-kiri a few months before September by Kondou's faction in a shop called Yamanoo in Gion, for violation of rules. However there is no record. There is an alternate theory that he was a Choshu spy by the name of "Iori Tanaka", who was killed at around the same time and was assumed as Niimi. His grave is in Mibudera, Kyoto.

夢と星 (Yume to Hoshi)/Written by KENGO 

(Title meaning: Dreams and Stars)

Far, far away, in the corner of a street I don’t know, a wish resurfaces Trying to let out one voice, just to hide the bleeding uncertainty again The world in the city of Kyoto touched by a haunted finger Right now, starts telling me its tale With colours that never fade, the fragments of the mesmerising dream Never have been let go of in my heart Even if I were to stop moving forward, as long as I have you I won’t be scared of anything I wanna be your star I wanna be your star In this heart that has been sinking deep and drowning My wish starts swimming up yet again As I weakly grab onto the ray of light hoping to reach a place where I can walk more easily The promise I believed in, the feelings we vowed Will be granted here and now Our feelings that keep blooming and never wilt Have never changed and never will Even if I were to lose my way, As long as I have you I will not lose myself I wanna be your star I wanna be your star Until the faint light from my dream shines a little further ahead I will keep singing without fail Time is a flowing river, there is no such thing as “forever” There is always a meaning to people meeting and parting If we will meet again at this place Then I will wait as I am, to welcome you no matter how many times With colours that never fade, the fragments of the dream that mesmerised me Have never been forgotten in my heart Even if I were to stop moving forward, as long as I have you I won’t be scared of anything Because I can be myself I wanna be your star I wanna be your star

咲螺 - サクラ (Sakura)/Written by Kondou Takafumi

Right now I can see the overlapping cherry petals dancing across the sky No matter how many thousands times, if we ever crossed paths again I will never let you go a second time For eternity... with these cherry blossoms Ours was a love like spring breeze together with your gentle tears Our meeting was like fate My heart yearns for you ever since Why is it that even though we were always so close But those clear eyes felt so distant, and lonely? The hazy moon hides away your profile If I had held you tight back then Would our future have changed? Right now I can see the overlapping cherry petals dancing across the sky No matter how many thousands times If we ever crossed paths again I will never let you go a second time, For eternity... with these cherry blossoms Ours was a love like spring breeze together with your gentle tears Will I get over these feelings one day? I have always wanted to stay closer by your side A world without you, a future without you How am I supposed to go on and face tomorrow from here? The night takes away each moment The sorrow only getting deeper Could it be even if I had regrets at that moment... My thoughts would only have collected over time Just like seasons go round and round again, the cherry petals draw up a circle As the tempest dyes the May clouds in their folds Will these blossoms bring back the days of the two of us who can no longer meet Ours was a love like petals that caressed your faintly coloured cheeks I won't forget you, always I have loved you, Sakura Right now I can see the overlapping cherry petals dancing across the sky No matter how many thousands times If we ever crossed paths again Let's never separate a second time for eternity... Sakura Ours was a love like spring breeze together with your gentle tears

虹を描いて (Niji wo egaite)/Written by 井手コウジ (Ide Kouji)

(Title meaning: Draw a rainbow)

Wow oh Draw your own rainbow Wow oh With your colour Wow oh Draw your own rainbow Among endless choices and possibilities, why is it that I am rushing to find a perfect spot for me to fit If I don't have any interests in these colour palettes lining up before me Then let's create our own matching shades! Each of us one colour Each with our own slope to climb (so far away) Shall we? (to higher) Even when our tears fall Like a wind with no name, blow this world away! No matter how many years it takes, draw a rainbow for only yourself Wow oh Draw your own rainbow Wow oh With your colour Wow oh Draw your own rainbow Draw your own rainbow If you just look at the entangled reality at a slightly different angle The world we look at upside down becomes a totally different scenery Monochrome, pure white, black and grey, there are so many colours Let's take in even more new values! Each of us one colour Each with our own aspiration We struggle (so far away), yes we do (to higher) Though our dream seems to have withered The colour from the melody we have believed and played It might be distorted, but let it echo away! Unleash the sadness toward the rainbows The abandoned incomplete dreams Let's redraw curiosity onto these hands once more! Each of us one colour Each with a slope to climb (so far away) Shall we? (to higher) Even when our tears may fall Like a wind with no name, blow this world away! No matter how long it takes, let your heart go And draw your own rainbow Wow oh Draw your own rainbow Wow oh With your colour Wow oh Draw your own rainbow Draw a rainbow

A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 271

MY FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 271:

I just like how Kagura is positioned behind Sougo, like they’re on the same team (which, by default, they were).

First time I saw this I remember thinking something like, “omg, they’re tied up together, next to each other, so cute!",  "omg, Kagura’s side-eyeing Okita, so cute!”. Yeah I probably wasn’t focusing on what I was supposed to be paying attention to, like the plot. 

Awww, how can anyone not love this guy? So honorable.

Okita being all wise and Kagura just giving him that whatever look. 

And just like that, their date took a turn for the worse.

EVEN IF IT WERE POSSIBLE YOU STILL SHOULD NEVER LET ANYONE USE YOUR HEAD AS A VESSEL FOR DEFECATION, KAGURA-CHAN.

Okita pretty much channeling his dear commander Kondou.

And their date amazingly got worser still. I felt most bad for Kirie, who was submerged in Kagura’s vomit while she was still unconscious. She had no chance to protect herself.

Uncomfortable mention of Kondou, and even though Sougo didn’t take a dump (thank gods), Kagura did still puke all over the place so they were still knee deep in yuckiness.

Awww. Team Samurai forever!

SHIPS TALLY:

OkiKagu: they had date-like vibes up until here, and how I wish he asked her something more romantic than whether or not he could shit where they sat. 

Disclaimer: Gintama is not only about shipping. Gintama is hilarious, clever, exciting, poignant, heart-breaking, loving, brilliant, and just so freaking amazing.  It is only due to Sorachi-sama’s generosity that I can enjoy Gintama on yet another level, the shippy level, and I am forever grateful for that. GINTAMA IS LIFE AND LOVE.

About Blue Exorcist Assiah: the realm of humans. Gehenna: the realm of demons. Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but having possessed all material substances, the demons are now intruding on the human world. Fortunately, among the human race there are those who have the ability to exorcise such demons - the Exorcists. Among these humans is Rin Okumura, an energetic, young man who has been raised by Shiro Fujimoto, an eminent priest, with Rin’s twin brother, Yukio. One day, he discovers the shocking truth that his biological father is in fact the most powerful demon of them all – Satan. As the border between “Assiah” and “Gehenna” is threatened by intruding demons, Rin vows to become the ultimate exorcist and defeat his own father and hone his skills as an exorcist at True Cross Academy with other exorcist candidates. The series has been adapted into a film released across North America and made its U.S. network television debut on Adult Swim’s TOONAMI™ in 2014. Most recently, the series returned in 2017 with Blue Exorcist -Kyoto Saga-, adapted from the Kyoto Impure King arc of the manga series.

Yamanami Keisuke Tomonobu (Sannan)

Written by Kizu  

Wednesday, 26 July 2006

1833-1865

Shinsengumi Fukuchou and Souchou (Vice-Chief and President of “College” – learning arts/literature/etc)

Was a Ronin from Oshu Sendai and goes to Edo

Was a practitioner of Hokushin Ittou Ryu of the Chiba dojo

In recent research there is a theory that he was also a practitioner of Onoha Ittou Ryu according to Shuusuke (name of researcher?)

Seems to have become a student of the Tennen Rishin Ryu at the Shieikan in 1860

Goes to Kyoto in 1863, as well and stays with Kondou’s group, later becoming a Vice-Commander along with Hijikata

There is record of participation in the Iwaki shop event in 1864 where there was fierce fighting but starting with the Ikedaya plot, there is no record of his participation.

There is a theory that he was badly injured in the Iwaki shop incident and could no longer participate actively

It is said that he is well liked by his subordinates, an affable person, however did not get along well with Hijikata and Itou

In 1865 commits hara-kiri for violating the hatto by leaving the Shinsengumi

Okita is said to be the “second” in his seppuku

But there is a researcher (not named) who doubts the events of his death; the reasoning goes that because of his injury which made him unable to participate actively in the group, he was gradually forced into a “desk job” and given a figurehead title of “President”. It is said that Hijikata had participation in this (demotion) and eventually Yamanami committed suicide.

With the way his name is written in Kanji, it is more likely that he went by the name “Sannan”

Favorite sword: Sekishin Okikou

His grave is in Shijo-Omiya in Kyoto, Hikari-en Temple
