Hijikata and Okita's sister are made for each other. One is a chainsmoker and the other has a lung disease. :/

Awesome stuff. Can't wait for the next ep.
I was waiting for some Kagura vs Sougo action, but maybe it was better that it didn't happen.

It was a sick episode. I love these somewhat 'serious' arcs about the 'main' supporting characters. They do it so well i swear. That midi music that they always play always makes me feel sad after hearing it hehe..

Sougo is an interesting character, in that he's hard to read, and i'm glad that they are giving him some back story, along with Hijikata. Everyone <3's the shinsengumi arcs. I wish they would also give the masochist gintoki stalker some char development too, because currently she was like sougo. Funny and cliche character models, but no development whatsoever. I LOVE GINTAMA, IT SURPRISES ME NONSTOP. <3! <3! <3!

Yeah I thought they were never going to reveal anything too deep or important about the semi-rivalry between them, but they actually revealed it! It was a good episode overall! We even got to see young Hijikata and Sougo! (I thought young Hijikata looked a lot like young Katsura, and a little bit like Kanda...)

And it was interesting to see that it was Sougo's sister with the lung disease, when historically it was Okita Souji who had TB.

Ah, so Hijikata is also asexual.

Seems like Kondo and Shimpachi are the only guys with desire in this show!

Skipped the hard-boiled episodes^^
This ep was really good, lots of Okita-stuff. The first time he really shows emotions^^ and we get to know a lot of the pasts of Okita, Hijikata, etc. That's cool.
I got also quite happy when I saw Okita using the rocket launcher again^^ He didn't use it for many episodes^^
Okita's sister and Hijikata fit greatly together^^ Spice and Mayonaise xD
Continuing to the next ep^^

Yeah o.o I thought he was just being sadistic and wanted to take his position as the vice commander, but apparently it goes deeper than that...

Much better than the previous one.

This episode really shows how dynamic this show can be. Also, I like how it shows the character's relationships randomly throughout the episodes so that it mixes it up a bit.

Even though its her first time being introduce to the series, she fits right in and she makes a lovely couple w/ the vice captain.

I'm crying right now as I write this T-T That was beautiful..

I hate you Hijikata!!!! SHE LOVES YOU! YOU CARE ABOUT HER! OMG. She's about to die. Show some love!

Sogo, I love you SO much.. Tell Hijikata to make your sister happy. Poor Sogo. Watching as his sister confesses to the person he doesn't like. I feel so bad for him. To see his sister utterly rejected and suffering.

Her fiancee is really nice though. I really like him :) even though he's a black arms dealer.. o.o

Hijikata.. I hate you. For now.

I saw Kanda too! That attitude if his too...
Two of my favorite characters centered in an episode... Okita and Toushiro... urgh,
feel sorry for the sister though. :<
The last part with Okita made me sad . _ .

I'm rewatching this episode and I noticed something I didn't notice in the first time

When Gintoki is sitting next to Okita's sister, he notices Yamazaki under the bed and says "What about you? there are bananas here", and Yamazaki have an afro.

I'm certain that this wasn't on purpose, but that was... wrong.

I'm not black, so, this "mistake" didn't bothered me but, some people may be offended even by these little mistakes

I loved this episode! Coming oFf the lackluster hard-boiled arc, this was a huge step-up!

What i like about these flashback episodes is that we find out how most of these characters know eachother from way back like Kondo-san and Sougo, or Gintoki and Zura - It really adds depth to Gintama world and the show in general!

Learning more about Okita isn't a bad thing either, that guy has been an enigma for so long: Now we know why he has a deep hatred for Hijikata!
Gintoki pretending to be his friend too was hilarious, but also kind of sad cos it shows that he doesn't really have any friends...

AND WHAT'S WITH THE DAMN AFRO?! xD

Well now we know why Sougou is always trying to kill Hijikata.
Aww poor matsurabi. I hope she doesn't die. She seems like a great, gentle but strong character.

I was expecting Matsurabi to meet the sister in law, Kagura. :D
I hope that it happens next ep??
But looks like it's going to be all action and stuff...
