When it comes to describing characters, there are usually a number of defining character traits which really make them who they are. For Monkey D. Luffy, it's his stretchy body and appetite of a starving child. For Frieza, genocide. In the case of Gintoki it pretty much sums itself up into a listahan of horrible addictions and bad habits, but nobody's perfect. As a matter of fact, one could say that it's Gintoki's imperfections that make him so lovable. He's not god-like or overly glorified in any way which makes him seem madami human than most super cool protagonists. (Well, MOST OF THE TIME, anyway.)...

FIRST AND FOREMOST, PROTECT YOUR BALLS.

posted by ziva

Super bayani usually have a lot on their plate: anything from saving damsels in distress to keeping the entire world from burning down at the hands of a menace. Granted, Gintoki is no super hero, there are still things a man's gotta protect. Unfortunately for Gin-san, one of those things seems to be his baby-maker. You know, that. If you weren't already aware, the pamagat "Gintama" carries a hilarious and most likely intentional double-meaning. The Japanese word "tama" has two meanings. Depending on the kanji, it can either be read as "soul" or "balls". Which means, yes, when sinabi out loud, Gintama...

KABUKICHOU'S MOST ELIGIBLE BACHELOR.

posted by ziva

If Gintama has taught us anyhting, it's that nothing spouts truth like the cold hard facts of a character popularity poll, and if popularity presinto have anything to say about women's horrible taste in men, then Gintoki is a testament to that. Turns out guys, you really don't have to work that hard to impress the ladies. Just be a jobless, naturally-permed, nose-picking freeloader, because according to RECOCHOKU'S ANNUAL POLL, our beloved Gin-san is the #1 anime character girls want to marry (knocking that equally unworthy asshole Hibari from his #1 spot from 2 years ago, what now Hibari, WHAT...

FAMILY VALUES.

posted by ziva

The concept of a family is something Gintoki admits he isn't familiar with in the "conventional" sense of the term. As far as we've heard in the series so far, Gintoki claims to never have had one, so the closest thing he considers as his family are the residents and workers at Otose's Snack Shop. That being said, Gintoki still seems to understand the importance and value of bonds between family members better than anyone, and is thus willing to take up his sword if it means protecting the idea of a family: whatever that word may mean.

I wish I had one... a family like yours. Ironic, ain't it?...

RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN.

posted by ziva

If there's one rule you can count on Gintama to follow, it's to "fuck the rules" completely. Not unlike the series itself, Gintoki lives sa pamamagitan ng his own code and nobody else's, choosing his own ways of going about life, work and disgusting eating habits without a segundo thought about what anyone else thinks. He's the kind of guy that will fly down the road at a billion miles per oras without a helmet, and refuse to listen to a cop who tells him he needs one, even if it's for his own safety. Even during his youth Gintoki appeared as the rebellious type--sleeping through his teacher's classes or disregarding...

RECIPES FIT FOR A SAMURAI.

posted by ziva

"You are what you eat". If it's true what they say, then Gintoki is definitely made up of sugar, spice and everything absolutely fattening nice. But mostly sugar. Gintoki's addiction to all things sweet is something that's canon from the very beginning of the manga: his first appearance happens simply because his beloved parfait is knocked over sa pamamagitan ng an Amanto (who grows angry at Shinpachi, a worker there) at the cafe he's eating at. Though his actions appear noble--as if he's trying to help out the young four eyes--he's simply in it to get revenge for the life of his parfait. It seems pretty...

THE WHITE DEMON.

posted by ziva

Though most people will recognize Gintoki sa pamamagitan ng his silly perm and disgusting nose-picking habits, behind his nonchalant and seemingly lazy attitude lies a darker, unknown past that has yet to be spoken of in depth. Much of what we currently know about where Gintoki came from has been displayed in short, 2-3 minuto flashbacks, mentions from characters who have known him long before the series started, or in spoof trailers made sa pamamagitan ng the trolls at Sunrise which tease fans with titles like The Birth of Shiroyasha. Gintoki's story is being pieced together at a snail's pace, but I think that part of...

SENSEI.

posted by ziva

Undoubtedly one of the most influential people in Gintoki's life, or perhaps the one person who "gave him" the opportunity at life at all, Yoshida Shouyou plays an important, yet mysterious role in Gintama. He is one of the main keys to Gintoki's past outside of his FORMER COMRADES and took Gintoki under his wing at an early age to train him in both swordsmanship and the bushido.

One of the earliest scenes of young Gintoki feature him sitting amongst a pile of corpses and blood in the aftermath of a battlefield. Yoshida Shouyou went to seek out Gintoki in this area and upon finding him, tells...

SPYAIR to Perform 'Final' Gintama Film's Theme Song

posted by maix14

It was announced on Thursday that the Japanese rock band SPYAIR will perform the main theme song for this summer's Gekijōban Gintama Kanketsu-hen: Yorozuya yo Eien Nare (Final Gintama: The Movie : Be Forever Yorozuya) movie. This will be the third time the band has contributed to the franchise, with their first contribution being "Samurai puso (Some Like It Hot!!)" for the revived Gintama' series' first ending theme in 2011. They also performed the series' segundo opening theme titled “Sakura Mitsutsuki.”

Band leader MOMIKEN made a comment on the new song:

SILVER SOUL.

posted by ziva

"From now on, you will ugoy that sword to protect your very soul." -- These are words that Gintoki has carried with him since he was merely a boy receiving his teacher's very own katana. They're words that he very much lives by. Gintoki operates on his own rules and fights in order to protect his spirit and soul--and is always willing to do so for others whose ideals align with his own. The idea of the "soul" is probably one of the main, overaching themes of Gintama--I mean, it's in the damn title. It may be hard to see between all the poop jokes, mosaik censors, and blow up sex toys, but...

HELLO MY TREACHEROUS FRIENDS.

posted by ziva

The ties that Gintoki has to his former life as Shiroyasha live on mainly through his connections with his three former Joui War veteran comrades: Takasugi Shinsuke, Katsura Kotarou, and Sakamoto Tatsuma. The four of them together were members of the old Jouishishi, a faction of samurai rebels who were fighting to expel the foreign Amanto aliens. Though the war began about 20 years prior to Gintama, the Joui 4 were mostly involved in the later part of the resistance. Gintoki, Takasugi and Katsura have all known each other since their youth--as young boys they trained under the tutelage of Yoshida...

THE JACK OF ALL TRADES.

Above Otose's Snack tindahan lies the Yorozuya, Gintoki's headquarters of operation (that he's totally not paying rent for, sa pamamagitan ng the way). Yorozuya (万事屋) literally translates to "house of 10,000 businesses". In other words, the Yorozuya is the place where Gintoki offers up odd jobs to anyone who needs it. This can be anything as simple as capturing the village panty thief, to stopping terrorists from blowing up the country. Gintoki runs the business alongside his two younger companions, Shinpachi and Kagura, as well as their mascot and giant pet dog, Sadaharu. To say that the three of them...

WATCHDOG.

posted by ziva

Terada Ayano, better known as Otose, is Gintoki's "landlord", or rather the old lady who lets Gintoki and company shack up at the tuktok of her snack shop. She's best recognized as that creepy baba who demands rent from Gintoki every hundred episodes (or whenever he pisses her off) and occasionally complains about the Yorozuya's incessant screaming and trouble-making. Otose is often referred to sa pamamagitan ng our silver samurai as that shitty old woman, if that clues you in on the way in which Gintoki shows respect for his elders. For the most part the relationship between landlord and tennant is comical...

OPPOSITES ATTRACT.

posted by ziva

Every JUMP hero needs a rival. A Vegeta to their Goku. You know, that guy in your life that's not quite Frieza, but not quite Krillin. Some people like to refer to them as frenemies, others OTP, but that kind of deviates into a darker corner of fandom that we won't go into (just yet). For Gintoki, his "Vegeta" comes in the form of a mayonnaise huffing, straight-laced police officer named Hijikata Toshirou: his exact opposite yet identical twin all at the same time: the best kind of rival.

Gintoki and Hijikata are the classic comedic rivalry. They're both so alike that it almost hurts to watch...

You stood patiently in the check out line, within the grocery store timidly looking around noticing the line of people form behind you all giving you death glares.
"Hey hurry it up!!"
"Come on I have to get home!"
"I have to feed my kids you bi-"
"I'm sorry, but my friend should be here shortly with my wallet." you eased chuckling nervously.
The cashier only glared letting out an agitated groan.
"can't you just let them go ahead of you till 'your friend' gets here?"

BOKUTO.

When one normally thinks of Jump series they think of 300-chapter-long epic battles with seemingly invincible enemies that have four different forms, or entire spreads dedicated to the hero powering up. After all, there isn't anything manlier than the guts and glory of finally slaying the Big Bad. Though Gintama is pretty much 95% nonsense, sa pamamagitan ng no means is it void of this Shounen Jump staple: Gintoki can certainly rip the enemy a new one when need be. What's interesting about Gintoki as a shounen manga hero, however, is how often he chooses not to. Though I certainly wouldn't call Gintoki a...

Latest "Gintama" Visual Shows Post Apocalyptic Kagura and Shinpachi

posted by maix14

With Gintama: The Movie: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya slated to debut in Japanese theaters July 6th, a new visual shows older versions of sidekicks Kagura and Shinpachi against what looks like a post apocalyptic version of the series' alien-invaded Tokyo.

Japanese fans are detecting a bit of a Sword Art Online spoof in the new designs.

ibingiay Gintama's habit of trolling fans, it remains to be seen how indicative this may be of what's actually happening in the movie.
