Gintama/Tear Jerker: Difference between revisions

* 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.}}

** The moments leading up to the end were terrible too. {{spoiler|Otose gets Kagura, Shinpachi, Tama, and Catherine out of harm's way by telling them she's taking them out to eat. She tells them to go ahead before [[Face Death with Dignity|turning around to go to the graveyard and meet Jirocho]].}}

** {{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.
