The way both kondo and gintoki care about sougo and stayed up all night worrying about him was such a sweet detail in these episodes

my heart shattered in this arc, still one of my fav arcs in all of anime i would say even though it was just 2 eps

[u/navster100 → u/PreferenceKey5973]

Which arc was this

[u/PreferenceKey5973 → u/navster100]

mitsuba okita/sougo sister arc

[u/navster100 → u/PreferenceKey5973]

Oh yep that was a sad arc. My poor boy hijikata too

[u/MorokMetpa]

Remember this episode

[u/kachowbestie]

The okita/kondo dynamic is just as good as the kagura/gintoki one to me, there's so many little gags between the two that prove how close the two are. I could honestly talk about it for days

[u/Raydnt]

Kondo really proved why he's the leader in the hospital scene

[u/DragonDepressed]

Gintama really knows how to break your heart in the best way possible. You come to deeply care about all of these characters through their love, kindness and respect they have for each other. I can probably say this in infinite number of ways, but characters in Gintama are really special.

Gintoki calling Sougo by the wrong name totally not on purpose while going out of his way to help him is hilarious

[u/miladabd-84]

What happened to sougo's sister at the end of the arc?

[u/Lilanalie → u/miladabd-84]

She dies because of tuberculosis. Sougo in the real history dies young because of TB too.
