It’s Gintama, so obviously everyone (literally everyone) is going to have some arc.

120+ episodes in and I still find Otae sooooo annoying.Her personality is so bad and the way she acts as if she's a boss or something and omg doesn't she realise her food is garbage?Her development isn't anything special either and overall is just an unlikable character for me
Please tell me if she becomes a good character later on
this is a really bad take lmao. Never heard any gintama watcher say Otae is annoying. If u don't like her just drop gintama. It doesn't suit your "taste"

I've seen hundreds of Gintama fans that dislike her. and she isn't even a main character, so there's no problem with disliking her.

I agree with you in almost everything, and I finished the series months ago. But at least Otae has a good role when she needs to have it: in serious arcs. In every Serious arc she appears she has a decent or good role, so the story doesn't become worse because of her presence. And she is a secondary character, so at least you won't have to suffer her that much as if the character you disliked was someone who is in almost every episode (imagine for example hating Kagura or Shinpachi, that would actually be a reason for dropping the anime)

u can say she isn't popular character like the others. But dislike is completely different. If you find her character annoying then you should find literally every character annoying in gintama. And bruhhh trust me I have seen and spoke to tons of gintama fans and no one says that she is annoying and they fisliked.

dude this is wat I quoted another guy on. If u hate these characters , then u should hate almost the entire cast.like the characters are more or less is the same in gag characteristics. As a character, yeah I agree they are given least importance comparing to other characters but if u say they are bad as a gag character then tht would include entire gintana cast

She's annoying till the very end lol I love Gintama, it's one of my favorite animes ever, but gawd I wanted to rip my hair out everytime they tried to force the GinOtae ship.

The good thing is that she doesn't appear much so she will bother you only on the rare ocassions she appears lol

Well... you've been on a very happy part of the fandom, then. There's a LOT of people that doesn't like Otae, me included.

At least to me. I think it was the fact that her involvement in some parts of the plot felt... forced. Like, there was no need for her to be there. It always felt very... "hey, here's this female character that you should ship with Gintoki" like.

even I don't like otae that much, some times I found her annoying but overall she is still better than kyubei and otsu. Also telling people to drop gintama cause they don't like 1 Character is stupid.

I think she’s written in a way that she thinks she’s the heroine of the show, but isn’t because of her personality (cooks burnt food and throws tantrums). She does have character.

I have never understood the hatred towards Otae and I think I will never understand it. After her mother died, she followed Shinpachi through his training to inherit the family dojo and, after her father died, she had to challenge their creditors. Her violent temper developed to survive alone with her brother. She still managed to raise Shinpachi into a polite boy, which the sick and kind Mitsuba could not do with Sogo: Shinsengumi's Okita is indeed a horrible person (but a funny character) who hides his cruelty only in front of his sister. Despite the hardships she faces, she also emotionally supported Kyuubei when they were child and accepts to leave Shinpachi, who now has Gintoki as his older brother, with tears in her eyes because her best friend needs her. Otae also shows her sweet side especially towards Kagura, who is a vulgar but also innocent and carefree child.

Even if sometimes she cannot control her strength when she has no intention of hitting someone, her violence is never motivated: Shinpachi is her younger brother who she had to grow up as a samurai (Gintoki never taught him to use the katana, he learned with his sister who forced him to train); Gintoki is an irresponsible adult (he wastes money on gambling, comes home drunk late at night, and doesn't pay his employees); Kondo Isao is a crazy stalker (he hides inside her house like Sacchan does with Gintoki). Otae is a great character, like the other main female and male characters in Gintama. The fact that their personalities are outlined in multiple arcs throughout the series rather than single flashbacks makes it harder to understand them, but to argue that they are annoying or even hateful is really superficial.
