Thoughts about Gintama ep 86-87 (Mitsuba arc)

...

NOTHING. NO THOUGHTS. JUST PAIN. DEPRESSION. UNENDING TEARS. MY HEART WAS SHATTERED INTO A MILLION LITTLE PIECES. MY GOD. I'M FUCKING EXHAUSTED. AND MIND YOU THIS WAS ALREADY A REWATCH YET IT STILL HITS AS HARD.

LOOK AT HIM! DID YOU HEAR HIS TINY CRIES? FUCK ME, MAN. ITS SO AAAAAAAAAAAA :(((

Don't even get me started with Toshi and Kondo and the whole Shinsengumi brotherhood!!! CHRIST!!!! >:(((((

Toshi, you poor poor man!

Kondo deserves all the good things in the world!

And Sougo... man he's just a kid. :(((((

(Also good job Gintoki for the emotional support! ⭐)

Headcanons about Gintoki, Otae, and Kondo's relationships!

(Spoilers, of course)

I think Gintoki actually considered Otae as a potential love interest, especially in the earlier episodes (~100). It felt like Sorachi originally planned for them to have something going on but somehow backpedaled along the way. Maybe he realized that Gintama didn't need canon ships lol or maybe he was saving him for Tsukuyo, who was then introduced in later arcs.

Either way, I think Gintoki can actually be vulnerable with Otae. More than any other women in the cast, tbh. They've had so many emotional scenes together. He's also grown very comfortable around her. Do questionable things for her. Trusts her to care for him when he's injured. He sleeps and hangs out at the dojo, too. Plus they have a common ground-- Shinpachi. They share the responsibility of being parental figures for him (or at least a proper older sibling that he can look up to and can protect him). Heck, he once even asked if he could grope her, if we wanna count that.

I think they already developed a sturdy base of friendship to work with for a romantic relationship to happen. Otose even revealed at some point that Otae has a little crush on Gin. I believe this. She was really there for him and she always showed up when it matters.

The ball was entirely on Gin's court, and he could've easily explored the possibilities if he wanted to, but he didn't.

I think he's just not that into her. Like, sure, she's a great prospect. Beautiful, hardworking, tough spirit. But that was it. In his head she had great potential, but I think Gin never really pondered about the idea of them. Maybe he was just too lazy for a relationship, or he considered Shinpachi and how awkward it might turn out (as he would most likely disagree but would allow it in the end), or maybe he found Otae to be "too much of a trouble" if he was to pursue her. I also think the 10 year age gap would throw him off. It could be many many things, mostly Gin's personal reasons, but my number one headcanon as to why he never took a step forward is because of Kondo.

It almost felt like a bro code or something. Gin clearly knows that if he shows anything remotely romantic towards Otae, she will FOLD faster than Kagura's umbrella. (Her behavior in the memory loss arc said a lot.) So Gin just ended up not doing anything because he knows that he wasn't even that sure if he wants to pursue her or not. He could even be afraid that he might hurt her feelings at some point (or get hurt himself) if we're going to be honest here. I don't even think he knows how to handle romantic relationships in the first place, let alone if he is ready for one.

And ultimately, Gin knows that Kondo is the one who truly loves her. Even the whole Shinsengumi already accepted her as their "mistress" (Chief's wife). Gin respected this, shrugged and decided to just forget about it.

(There's also Kyubei who is also madly in love with Otae. Imagine breaking the hearts of two fellow casts at the same time? Gin would never.)

It's not like he wanted her that bad anyway. Though she sure as hell crossed his mind once or twice, and he sure as hell fantasized what it could be like if he was to pursue her, at least a little bit.

PS. At the end of the Yagyuu arc, Gin asked Toshi about what he thinks is the real standing between Otae and Kondo. And Toshi said Otae is definitely in love with Kondo. I believe this, considering Toshi is the only one who canonically had any proper experience with romantic relationships, thus his read is probably the most credible.

PPS. In the later arcs, Otae is practically attached to the hip with Kyubei, and her "relationship" with Kondo has been infinitely teased and trolled throughout the series. Meanwhile Gintoki is pretty much cemented with Tsukuyo. Although they still didn't end up together.

So, my final conclusion is: Gintama doesn't need canon ships! :) Everyone loves everyone and that's all that matters.
