corpse eating demon before meeting shoyo, sakata gintoki when he is with shoyo, shiroyasha after loosing shoyo, shiroyasha until killing shoyo. but the tendoshu lets him go, so he is sakata gintoki again, in the government's prison.

17 years old during the encounter with the 17th yaemon.

I'd argue that eating the offerings off of a grave counts as corpse eating demon 2.0, (see the symmetry? he could and should have died there, except the whole point is that he didn't) then eventually yorozuya gin chan, held up by the strings that tie him to other people (like bansai in death, but also like a sentient marionette puppet) (also like the new (good?) spider at the center of the web of the evil spider that he ate but that's a different post) yorozuya gin chan appears and the story gin tama becomes possible. and we as readers can only really interact with that story.

and i got tired of this but my point was that 18th yaemon showing Gintoki and us the list of convicts with his government name sakata gintoki is like a clock that starts working again? after a decade. 17. 18. tick. tick. 19.

and we see two yaemons fight over the dead third one (and gintoki is all of them) and we see that asaemon's victory means that the title of yaemon will be imposed upon her. and it is good that it is so.

it's true that all names on gintoki, even gintoki, feel a bit off; but however he is called, he will always have been the executioner.

(and The Executioner can be a monster or a human and therein lies the difference)

i want to rblg the op with tags when im not on mobile but shinigami arc brainrot is real so i wanted to post this before i forget about it shinigami arc my absolute beloved my everything m the ten years of postwar psychology horror before Lesson 1 of gin tama!!!!! is Missing like it's a negative space story!!! like a sheet ghost. very friendly very cartoonishly ghost shaped until you think you want to pull off the sheet don't pull of the sheet. you are human. it's there for a reason. the last veil ok im forcing myself to stop but the unmemory in gintama... not talking about ptsd or grief narratives although those are good too but the unmemory of the character... before the story there was another story but right before the beginning? there was emptiness UNNECESSARY TAGSSSSS why am i not sleeping instead :// oh and in case everyones been saying the things in this post for ten years! sorry im vey new like three days old ... here again after some halfhearted proofreading and im gonna be evil and say his true name is Utsuro's Kaishakunin
