Gintama/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

* Gin's speech about "carrying a heavy weight on a long journey" in chapter 13 can definitely induce [[Manly Tears]].

** This Troper, who normally is laughing very hard whenever she watches this anime, had tears in her eyes when she saw that episode. She also thought that Kagura's fight against Abuto during the Yoshiwara Arc was very heartwrenching.

** Oh God, the Mitsuba arc... This Troper was close to bawling like a baby. Seeing Okita, who is normally a [[Deadpan Snarker|deadpan snarking]] [[Jerkass|sadist]] {{spoiler|break down and cry as his sister's hand falls from his face...}} *bawls*

* The end of the Itou Arc.

* The end of episode 211 with the Four Devas of Kabukichou clashing thanks to Jirocho's attempt to take over. He and Otose knew one another in the past, and now he needs her out of the way. {{spoiler|He ''appears'' to have killed her, in front of the grave of Otose's husband. Followed by a brilliantly done fight between him and Gin.}}

** {{spoiler|Five minutes later, we see Gintoki desperately trying to get to Otose in time--[[You Are Too Late|but it seems he doesn't.]] Cue the aforementioned battle with Jirocho, where Gintoki loses.}}

** The reunion of {{spoiler|'''Jirocho and Pirako'''}}, damn you Gintama.

* There are plenty of smaller ones in the short two to three episode arcs as well. At the end of episode 108, a short story about an orphan, Kyoujirou, taken in by a group of Yakuza, he dies by the grave of the leader who he considered a father, believing until just before the end that he had failed to protect the people important to him. Of course, as soon as Gin-chan manages to convince him otherwise, he is fatally shot.

* We finally get to see {{spoiler|Shouyou Yoshida's face}}. Under the horrible circumstances that Gintoki, {{spoiler|as a child watches Shouyou-sensei being taken away helplessly by the Tensho.}}
