I completely agree. If he had a real sword when he made that first strike, the entire battle would have went in his favor.

Gintoki is using the wooden sword just for kicks right, not because of the Sword Prohibition arc? Since everyone is practically flouting the rule with a real sword. :p

Ever think that maybe she isn't dead???
I haven't read the manga, I'm not giving away any spoilers, cuz I have no idea what's gonna happen. But I'm guessing that she might still be alive :3

Precisely my point. If she was still alive, that would be like one of those stories I hate so much where after the character has went through so much, he wakes up and it turns out everything was a dream; so pointless...

You guys went through the Yoshiwara arc, and saw Gintoki get up after that full force kick on the head into the wall.
Honestly, you should've expected this. No long-running character dies in Gintama.

Well, I would rather have them be alive and just badly hurt rather than the animes or mangas where the person ACTUALLY dies and then 30+ episodes later they return miraculously!!

Gin got super pissed cuz he 'thought' she was dead. And thats probably what we're supposed to think as well cuz she sure looks dead there. But he didn't check to see for sure if she had a pulse or anything.

If Otose died I think that would be too much of a downer for the series. Don't get me wrong I wouldn't mind a bit of drama, but I don't think the series could ever be as lighthearted again and that's a direction I can't see Sorachi taking.

My guess is that if main characters start dying Gintama will be drawing to a close.

Otose surviving, if it turns out that way, shouldn't be considered much of a stretch, because Jirocho's hesitance in killing her was obvious in his request that she simply leave town. As to the reason behind the hesitance, see the episode's revealed history tidbits regarding Jirocho and Otose.

Would it be improbable that Jirocho was unable to completely resist being fazed by his past, and thus falter in his blow? I think the opposite would be the improbable scenario here.

A great episode, The first time you see Gintoki really lose it like that.

But damn Jirocho is strong, I look forward to their final round. But man I want the next episode now.

Tama looks so sad in the ending after this episode.

i was under the impression that it was because of the law since he likes to avoid trouble whenever possible he uses the wooden sword to avoid any problems with the law. it is a strong sword though as its supposed to be unbreakable and has only been broken by strong opponents on only a few occasions.

Well it was obvious Gintoki was going to lose, as much as I didn't want him to (especially while he was in berserk mode giving it his all) but man, that was as serious as it gets.

Gin-san is so awesome, he has the soul of a demon and the heart of a angel, damn Im a guy having a fan-girl moment..
-face-palm-
But I really wish he was real..


Lol I just love your comment xD

I did not expect this. War is going to start BIG TIME. I don't know how Shinpachi and Kagura are going to take this. Seeing Gin's real nature is a first. It's like he loses his conscience and acts what he thinks is right.

That's my thinking if she survives. The head boss of a gang simply wouldn't offer to spare the life of just anyone. Add to that he also spared Gintoki's life at the request of Otose.

I have been waiting for someone to beat the shit out of Gintoki and I have finally gotten it!!!
Jirochou-sama I love you! Where have you been all my life?! You have no idea how happy I am! I've been rejoicing since I saw this!
I hope he beats Gintoki multiple times and this was not just a one time thing. I want Gintoki to bleed like never before!
Please beat Gintoki more and more:) Also I hope Otose really is dead.

Fuck Gintoki!!!

I'm kinda surprised that they killed off Otose though, with her being one of the major supporting characters in the series and all.

Damn. Gintama really knows how to tug at your heartstrings.
I dont want Otose to die, i love Otose; she's practically Gintoki's mother...figure!

The improved visuals of this series over the previous also really intensified the battle at the end! Gintoki was channeling his White Demon persona from the Joui war, which i bet he tries his best to hide away. Loved it!
