↳ “O: Were those two anything like Shouyou?

IN: No. One was trying to protect Shouyou's legacy. The other was trying to destroy Shouyou's legacy. But they had one thing in common. They both had such sorrow in their eyes.”

Episode 261: Unsetting Moon

In today’s episode, politics are discussed and old people are cute.

For the past few days, I’ve been misreading the title of this episode as "Unsettling Moon” instead of “Unsetting Moon”. It wasn’t until the title screen I got it right. I’m an idiot.

This was an amazing arc. It was funny, it had some of the best fights in the entire series, and the final scene with Suzuran and Maizo totally didn’t make me cry. Good thing the storyboard booklet gag at the end was really funny, even though, like I said, that final scene totally didn’t make me cry.

Next episode is more Gintama Classic, which will be skipped. Until next time.
