(A Totally Serious) Gintama Dads Tier List

Why does this series have so many dads help-

S

Isaburo: Despite his outwardly stern demeanor, he understands Nobume's past traumas and helps her cope with them, while also educating her on the harsh realities they face. He named her after his deceased daughter and cared for her as such, even texting her frequently and buying her donuts.

A

Shouyo: He's a father figure for several characters in the series, demonstrating unwavering love and acceptance, and provided a supportive environment for them to grow. His memory and teachings remain a guiding force for his students. Reason for losing points: He left his kids concussed and dumb.

Gintoki: He consistently shows protectiveness towards Kagura and Shinpachi, often putting their safety and well-being above his own. He's playful with them, teaches them important life lessons, and accepts them unconditionally. Despite his flaws, Kagura and Shinpachi love him very much. Reason for losing points: Has several mental health issues and his feet stink.

Zenzou's dad: He became a father figure to many children as he taught ninja arts and played kick the can with them. Many of his students attended his funeral, showing how loved he was. Reason for losing points: Sold Zenzou's JUMP collection to buy p*rn.

Matsugorou: Also known as Musashi, he's Ikumatsu's dad. It's shown that despite their poverty they were very happy together, until he lost his memory trying to save a boy from drowning. He saves her daughter and reconnects with her. Reason for losing points: He wears a jacket and fundoshi.

B

Jirochou: He abandoned his daughter Pirako because he felt compelled to protect what his friend Tatsugorou left behind after he died. His subsequent actions reflect a desire for redemption and a willingness to spend more time with her. Reason for losing points: Was too chicken to have a threesome with Tatsugorou and Otose.

Abuto: He's not the stepdad, he's the dad that stepped up. Although he's not exactly a parental figure to Kamui, he has been by his side since he was a kid and cares about him a lot. Kamui was even shown to hesitate attacking him. Reason for losing points: He's losing his will to live.

C

Shimura Ken: Not much is known about him, only that he died leaving Tae and Shinpachi with a huge debt. Although he cannot be blamed for dying from an illness, he didn't take any measures to prevent his children from suffering because of him. Reason for losing points: His name is a parody of a comedy actor.

Koshinori: Since the heir of the Yagyuu clan had to be a man, instead of changing the rules, he forced Kyuubei to conform to that identity. He later decides to let her live as she sees fit. Reason for losing points: His height is 122 cm (4'0").

Umibouzu: He has a complex relationship with Kamui and Kagura. His absence leaves a void in their lives and creates feelings of abandonment, even if he'd reasons to do so. His two children ended up finding substitute father figures elsewhere. Reason for losing points: Stopped a 3 day fight to take a dump.

D aka Betrayed their students tier

Jiraia: He takes on the role of Tsukuyo's mentor and trainer, but his influence extended beyond that, manipulating her emotions and exploiting her vulnerabilities. Their relationship becomes increasingly abusive and toxic until she breaks free of it. Reason for losing points: Bad skincare habits.

Utsuro: Despite his mentorship role, he manipulates his students' emotions and desires for his own ends, creating emotional turmoil within them as they uncover his true intentions and the extent of his malevolence. Reason for losing points: His existence.

WHEN WAS ANYONE GOING TO TELL ME THE GINTAMA MUSIC CLIP Collection is finally free to watch on Youtube?? I missed my babies so much. It's even for sale at JUMP FESTA 2025. Why can't I be in Japan right now? (T^T)

I've been looking for these everywhere! And as always I love the 'official' song choices as a theme for each character dynamic. Shipping okikagu and kontae (heck throw in YamaTama in there too) in 2024?? More likely than you think.

Isaburo analysis

[bossladytae]

Finally, I have compiled a list of songs for my Shinsengumi playlist and I’d like to share it. As usual, I'm using Spotify because it’s easier for sharing and curating public playlists.

There are some overlap choices with the Joui4 playlist, but otherwise, it’s mostly different songs. For the Shinsengumi, I chose songs based on the “fighting spirit,” so to speak, on enduring change – sometimes tough and tragic – and moving forward toward a hopeful future. Some songs speak to various story arcs, invoking characters like Mitsuba and Itou. I also included some that reminded me of Isaburo and Nobume, adding in the Mimawarigumi alongside our thorny men.

There’s a mix of genres, but a lot of hard rock, classic rock, J-rock, with a touch of ambient, post-rock, metal, and prog. I also sprinkled Gintama soundtrack themes throughout with a few notable Gintama OP/ED songs associated with the Shinsengumi and related characters. I tried to place all the songs in order of story arc with some unconnected songs in between. It ended up being a far more upbeat playlist than the Joui one, which I flooded with angsty songs, lol.

Let me explain the selections a bit:

(Before we get into it, here are my other playlists for reference: Joui4, Diamond Perfume, HijiTae, and a Kamui playlist based on a fic I wrote for him.)

We begin with some familiar Shinsengumi anthems along with a couple of song choices that ignite hope and beginnings. Then, we dive right into the Mitsuba arc with her theme and then some songs focused on Hijikata’s love and Sougo’s sorrow. I used Anathema’s “One Last Goodbye” for the Joui4 playlist, too, but for this one, I chose the acoustic version to capture the gentle sorrow of Mitsuba’s passing and Sougo’s feelings (the original version was more akin to the vibe of Joui4).

I thought long and hard about adding in “Impressions II” by Lunatic Soul, and I’m sure some may think I’m cruel for even considering it. But I think it explores grief in a beautifully heart-wrenching way, especially if you’ve been in the room with a loved one about to pass away. I have, and Sougo has, so I kept it in. I didn’t want to shy away from the pain of grief. (Maybe don’t listen to it if you’re highly, emotionally sensitive about the Mitsuba arc.)

Next up: Shinsengumi Crisis arc, beginning with another Gintama soundtrack choice. I then chose songs that invoke Itou’s character, his family history, and his complicated connections with Kondou and Hijikata.

You might be wondering about “Child in Time” by Deep Purple. If you don’t already know, it’s a famous anti-war song by an equally famous band. For this, I thought of Itou (and Isaburo, though his selections occur later), and the wholescale conflict he caused. Gillan’s masterful vocals combined with the rich instrumental make me think of that conflict and Itou’s mental and emotional state. It’s an amazing song. You might also remember it from Twister. Plus, it ties in with Bansai’s words about each character’s songs; he associated Hijikata and Itou with rock and metal, so this suits the chaotic battle in an ironic sense.

“Exit Suite” by Gazpacho wraps up Itou’s story arc. It’s a song I chose as inspiration for my Itou fic.

Next, the Anpan theme! Then some songs that give me Shinsengumi vibes.

Now we’re at the Baragaki arc. I featured “Somewhere I Belong” by Linkin Park in my Tetsu fic. “He Ain’t Heavy, He’s My Brother” is pretty self-explanatory, and I went with The Hollies’ rock ballad version because I found it suited the Shinsengumi more. I initially wanted “Raize” by Inoran instead because it was also in my Tetsu fic as inspiration, but Spotify doesn’t carry the original version. (Same with LUNA SEA – I had a different song choice, but they don’t have the album there, so I went with “Into the Sun” for Itou’s arc. Several incredible LS songs aren’t even on the app!)

Saitou’s theme! Then Jimi Hendrix’s “Purple Haze” for Hijikata as Tosshi and maybe Kondou being head over heels infatuated, lol. I added some songs I featured in other Shinsengumi-centric fics of mine, like “Linda Linda” by The Blue Hearts. Both songs are such classics that I found fit right in with the Shinsengumi and this playlist's vibe.

A little post-rock from Eleventh Vibration to prepare us for the Farewell Shinsengumi arc, which opens with a Gintama soundtrack choice. “Locking Up the Sun” by Poets of the Fall is a song I think nicely encapsulates Kondou’s arrest and threat of execution. Ayden’s “Awaking” to symbolize the Shinsengumi reawakening and preparing to rescue Kondou. Hotei’s “Howling” because of the Shinsengumi’s wolf image (as is consistent with the historical Shinsengumi), plus I just had to have either Hotei and/or his band Boøwy on the list.

Now we’re getting into the Mimawarigumi side of things. I chose High and Mighty Color’s “Dreams” for Nobume and LUNA SEA’s “Be Gone” for the ensuing disarray of the island battle. The bittersweet instrumental at the end of it was also another reason for choosing it as a transition into Isaburo’s section and a nod to Kondou and Hijikata’s emotional reunion. Pineapple Thief’s “God Bless the Child” makes me think of Isaburo’s entire life and his fate in saving Nobume and Tetsu (not to mention the “mark” imagery and Isaburo’s other weapon of choice).

Anathema’s “Wildfires” was used in my Tetsu fic for the end of the island battle and other things, followed by Kamelot’s “Season’s End” for the final goodbye to Isaburo, concluding with a Gintama piano piece. Farewell, email buddy.

Noel Gallagher’s “Fort Knox” represents the Shinsengumi leaving and promising to return. Long Distance Calling’s “Welcome Change” (with two guest vocalists who are also faves of mine, Petter Carlsen and Vincent Cavanagh) speaks to the tough and inevitable change that comes with death, departure, and beginning anew. There’s also a fantastic instrumental in the middle to further drive that point home.

Laugh if you want! But I always think of the Shinsengumi when I hear Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys Are Back In Town” when the Shinsengumi return to Edo, stronger and thornier than ever (I know what other word you thought of there).

J’s “Never End” for the legacy of Gintama’s Shinsengumi. It’s hard to find lyrics, though, because of Onose Jun’s stage name of ‘J’ and search engines giving me other artists. Incidentally, J’s LUNA SEA’s bassist and Inoran, who appeared earlier in the playlist, is their rhythm guitarist. Anyway, the song just feels like it belongs.

And, of course, it begins and ends with DOES. Enough said. Bill Wither’s “Lean on Me” is a heartwarming conclusion to the brotherhood of the Shinsengumi, especially for our main boys.

Just kidding -- it TRULY ends with Hijikata’s mayonnaise cooking show theme. ����

Hope you find some familiar or new favourites among my selections, and I hope you overall enjoyed listening! I have really eclectic music taste, I know.

Thorny Arc Or Kintama Arc

[skittyscans]

Sasaki Isaburo - Summer

Yes, I jumped ahead to scan the Isaburo scenario 😂 I was super curious to see what it was about (specifically whether it was a platonic or romantic scenario. Turns out to be the latter).

Summary (based off of machine translation):

Reader runs into Isaburo and Nobume during a walk out on a sunny day. Isaburo questions what they're doing outside during such hot weather, and reader reveals that they're trying to look for a specific store. Isaburo recognizes the store they're referring to and offers to walk them there (but he sends Nobume away who's like "abuse of authority :/") .

Isaburo reminds the reader to stay in the shade and keep cool as they walk to the store. He asks them what they plan on purchasing at the store, and they explain they're searching for a yukata. Isaburo connects the dots, and deduces that yukata must be for the fireworks festival they plan on going together next week. Reader instantly gets embarrassed by his accuracy.

Since it's pretty hot, Isaburo offers reader some of his ice cream. Reader takes a bite out of it, but gets chocolate all over their lips, much to Isaburo's exasperation. He tells them to stay still, so he can get them cleaned up. And when he's done, he has the audacity to say (once again take it with a grain of salt bc machine translation):

"These lips...I can't wait until the day I can enjoy them."

They reach the store, and Isaburo bids them farewell, telling Reader to be careful and have fun. Later, Reader gets a text from Isaburo telling them how he can't wait for their date at the fireworks festival.

AUGH, THEM OLD LOVERS

(Post Part 27)

Udo Shrine is a real shrine in modern-day Nichinan. Nichinan's only been around since the Meiji Restoration, so in the mid-1800s, the area would've likely been referred to as the greater Hyuuga province. Travel was also heavily restricted by the Edo government (Sakamoto Ryouma, the person Tatsuma is based off of, ran into so many issues with that policy.), but with the proper authorization, travel was possible.

[ciaossu-imagines]

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.
