#Gintama manga chap 228

A Gintama chapter a day keeps the ending away...Lesson 228

MY FAVORITE MOMENTS IN LESSON 228:

Even though I wasn’t as attached to Abuto then as I am now, I was still pleased to see that he had survived the fall.

Abuto expressing his admiration of Kagura. Man is smart.

It looks like they’re on a date and Kamui’s just telling Abuto about his life goals.

I wasn’t able to appreciate fully what he meant until recently, after the Rakuyou arc. 

Papi cameo! Tbh, I also didn’t appreciate Umibouzu as much until recent years.

Out of contexts, it’s as if Umibouzu’s telling Gin-chan that Kamui has a crush on him. Lols.

I just realized I don’t even think he stopped to say hi to Kagura before he left. What a crappy dad. 

Shinpachi’s expression was extra guffaw-worthy.

It’s still a city of sin but at least the ladies get to call the shots which I thought was awesome.

I laughed so much; Seita’s blank expression made the image even funnier.

He looks so cheerful with those things. Lmfao.

I almost died laughing when Shinpachi got a dick to his head.

Happy ending to an awesome arc. Yayyy!!! At the time, I thought that would be the last we’d see of the Yoshiwara folks: I was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong. 

SHIPS TALLY:

AbuKam: I think this sealed the deal for me, even though I still paired up Kamui with others. 

GinKam: Kamui’s possessiveness over Gintoki was adorable. 

GinHino: after all these years I still wonder why Sorachi-sama didn’t seriously consider Hinowa as a love interest for Gintoki. Not trying to take anything away from Tsukuyo, but Hinowa was a stand-out character in the arc and she is pretty unique in terms of personality and background, so she would have made a very interesting partner for Gin-chan. I never really shipped them because the notion was squashed even before it had a chance to really germinate, but if I ever got to ask Sorachi-sama anything, I think that would be one of my questions.

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.
