I freakin' cried my eyes out.....What was actually sad was that Hijikata wasn't cold-hearted,not in the least...the last part with the spices making him cry was very sad >.> I think he loved her more than any1 will ever know.....*sniff*

Even if I knew she'll die I cried. I kinda felt jealous about Hijikata's relationship with Mitsuba but I forgot that in the middle of the ep.

I-LOVE-HIJIKATA-TOSHIROU!!

Great arc.

Gintama is definitely worth sticking around and watching.

This is a really great, sad and touching story arc.

I love how it explores the relationship between Kondo, Okita and Hijikata, and how it exposes different sides to each of these characters.

I also love how Gin is a (small) part of this arc and he is like there to support Hijikata and Okita.

T_T <-- that pretty much sums it up

Saddest episode so far. Even when I watched it the second time, I got tears in my eyes at the end. "So spicy"

On the other hand, Hijikata covered in blood, slashing his way through the enemies, was too awesome. Oni no fukuchou <3

I think it's better this way, if they met, there'll be more drama-romance thing, and I don't think it fit this anime... Toushi is cool the way he is...oni no fukuchou.. <3
And I loooooooooooooveeee this episode cz there are a lot of Toushi moments! I just love Toushi more and more!
And it's a really good thing to know Okita-Kondo-Toushi's past!
Gintama IS a masterpiece!

Can't wait for another character past! especially Gin-Zura-Takasugi's past!

Now here is my favorite character so far..
#1 Gin (no doubt! everyone love him I'm sure XD)
#2 Toushi (he is so hawt and kakkoiiiiiii)
#3 Kagura (can't resist her cuteness...and I love the way she talks)

Hijikata x Mitsuba FOREVER.
I got shivers through this whole episode; it was so beautiful.
Sad, but amazingly beautiful.
Poor Hijikata.. I feel so bad. He absolutely positively loved Mitsuba.
And he acknowledged it. When he was blushing in the flashback it made me break out into a huge grin.
It's true though, no matter how sad, he would never have been able to love her as another person would because of the Shinsengumi.
&lt;3 I'm never ever going to let anyone else take Hijikata's love. In my heart, it's Hijikata x Mitsuba forever.
Edit: In episode 114, Kuriko came along and it seems that Hijikata somewhat 'liked' her. After seeing that, I just had to come back here and say that I hold true that Hijikata x Mitsuba is the best couple :)

You're amazing Hijikata. :)

On another note: I'm not really excited to see the continuation of Gintoki and Takasugi's childhood relationship. In all honesty, I like arcs concerning the side characters better than the Benizakura one. But that's just my opinion and the next arc I haven't seen yet, so I'll see :)

That killed me when he said he loved her but rejected her because he didn't have choice...
DAMMIT, THIS IS WHY I HATE GINTAMA. I'M GOING TO BE SAD ABOUT THIS FOR LIKE A WEEK!!! Why does this anime have to be so epic...???

Episodes concerning my favorite character(s) are always so friggin' sad...

looking back on the show, i have to say this is my favorite episode out of the entire series, not that the stuff to come isnt good but i think this ep is one of the best eps i have seen in any anime.

No, it's still pretty damn funny. Though, I notice it doesn't happen as frequently since then. It's probably my favorite serious arc, though. I think a lot of the other ones are too drawn out, but this one was just right and had really good pacing. Well, the arc after this is really good as well.

I think after this sougo no longer is trying to kill hijikata, Its just sougo's was of showing friendship i guess, i mean hijikata, gintoki, and sougo all show their friendship in more harsh ways.

Hate to repeat what others said but.. damn! It's so spicy!! T_T
I hate the word “fate.” Birth, encounters, partings, success and failures, fortune and misfortunes in life. If our lives are already set in stone by fate, then why are we even born? There are those born to wealthy families, those born to beautiful mothers, and those born into the middle of war or poverty. If that’s all caused by fate, then God is incredibly unfair and cruel. Because, ever since that day, none of us had a future and the only certain thing was that we wouldn’t amount to anything. - Takakura Shouma

"Life isn't easy in feudal Japan... especially since the aliens landed and conquered everything! Oh sure, the new health care is great" Synopsis why did you lied? I expected more from aliens...

Fuck Gintama, make me tear up like that... :(

That episode was fucking awesome. The Shinsengumi was fucking awesome. Kondo was fucking awesome.

Kondo speech was really great. It showed how strong is the link between our 3 warriors.

Hijikata action was pretty selfish, but he was so awesome. The way he just fighted all these people alone was so cool. He's a great friend for Sougo, I knew he cared about him.

Sougo face when he cutted the car in half was scary, I liked it :3

It was nice to see Sougo out of sadistic character, he does have a soul indeed.

Like the guy up me, I hope the Sougo trying to kill Hijitaka doesn't end, it's so funny xD
