Oh god the romance. Nice rebound for the show. I don't know what will happen next time it's kinda unpredictable. Either way this arc is a very good one so far.

Woah, that was a great mix of comedy and drama. That's the Gintama I like.

It's nice to finaly know where come Sougo hatred against Hijitaka.

I'm pretty sure that Hijitaka is distant to Sougo sister because he want her to care more about Sougo. But yeah, it was sad when she telled him her feeling and he just said ''I don't care''...

I liked when Sougo was at that restaurant and shooted to those guy with his bazooka xD

And oh god, that perfect tobacco flavored xD
It looked awful. It's nice to know that Hijitaka was addicted to mayo even in his youth :P

I hope Sougo sister don't die :(
I'm convinced that Gin-san will find a solution to save Sougo sister or give her a good last memory.

Sougo's sister is such a good person. Sougo really respects her a lot. Lol'd when he was obediently said sorry to her.

Gintoki can be bribed off by chocolate parfait so easily, he become Sougo's friend in an instant.

Lol at One piece reference this episode.

Sougo!!!!!! <3 the feels in this episode!!!!! I feel so sorry for him!!!!! Sougo is too awesome I will never hate him no matter what!!!!! Well I also love the fact Sougo is a sadist, he makes me laugh.

I still don't like Okita. Spoiled brat and a sadist, nothing more. Extremely self-centered; so he just dislikes Hijikata because he thinks his sister and the captain should only like him an no-one else.
Gintoki is quite right, there's nothing likeable about him, that's why he has no friends.

When his sister said to Gintoki that he was like that guy, she meant Hijikata, right?
Hm, I think she's right about that.

I think it's not because of Okita, but because of his sister. I'd guess he think that if he can't be with her then he shouldn't give her any hope, so she can move on.

Looks like serious arc. Toshi-san gets some backstory as well. So I was right about him having some tragic love-story past.

If Hijikata doesn't feel anything for Sougo's sister, it can't be helped.
But if he has some other weird reasons that's just stupid...

I don't know why, but I think this is the most I've teared up from an episode of Gintama up until this point. There's definitely been a number of tearjerker moments up til now, but just something about learning more about their past and the storytelling really resounded with me.

Gintama really does just get better and better.

Lol, I wish Gin was wearing a Soul Reaper outfit from Bleach lol. But at least Ichigo was on the bag (Bleach was the last super long anime I watched lol, still reading the manga).

That was a cute episode!

Sougo is so different around his sister, and awww, he thinks Hijikata stole everything from him, his sister and Kondou. Awww!

Hijikata made him bleed! D:

Awww, his poor sister doesn't know she wants to marry a criminal but Sougo doesn't want to ruin her happiness with him as she doesn't have much longer to live :( awww, that'sw sweet.

It was random that Sougo wanted Gin to pretend to be his friend lol.

His sister really shouldn't eat all of that spicy food! D:

I wonder if Hijikata really does like his sister or not, she likes him so much, it's cute. Maybe he doesn't want to make Sougo feel worse if he already knows why he doesn't like him is because of that stuff. Or maybe he just wants to be Sougo's friend and not ruin it by dating his sister in case he broke her heart.

One of those episodes where you go from laughing your a** off (with Sougo, his sister & Gin in the cafe), to getting punched in the gut with the feels (Sougo telling Hijikata his sister doesn’t have long to live & begging him to just let her be happy for once). Oh Gintama - you kill me! In a good way. <3

Woaaaah, a really good episode in both comedy and seriousness, it was just awesome. So, that's why Sougo always keeps attacking Hijikata, been wondering for 85 episodes. Hijikata is pretty cold, nonetheless he's awesome! Shinsengumi episodes are always the best, love them.

Afro Yamasaki is looking kinda nice. This is Okita's arc and well we are getting so much character development from him and we will probably get a lot more next episode as well. This arc is looking very good so far.

Trying to focus on the funny moments, my favorites were Sougo and Gintoki pretending to be friends at the table in front of his sister and of course "how sick is the taste in food of young people today?" and meanwhile Hijikata was already addicted to mayo.

Wonderful episode man. I just know that the feels are coming. Sogo and Hijikata's backstory looks great and Sogo looked so cute. Why does yamazaki has an afro. Sogo's sister is indeed very beautiful.

This is why I like gintama. The comedy and action scenes are blend so well. Its in these kind of comedy series that sad moments hit even harder. The backstories of the main cast is so good that you start to like them. The romance in this show is quite good as well which I will always welcome with a smile. This has started out to be a truly brilliant arc.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.
