What sets Gintama apart from so many other shounens is how it takes ideals that would normally be cliched as hell and makes you want to believe in them, because these characters just feel so real, like people you've known all your life.
yes this puts it down so well. It's like the whole time we've been getting all the crazy adventures with nude Shogun & the Yorozuya, like the ski trip arc and the host club ep and all that, it's been slowly endearing us to the character and this arc just seems like a massive payoff to that. Because we've all shared all those crazy moments with the shogun, it makes his noble acts in Keisei really meaningful. It's like seeing your bumbling friend suddenly ace his drama audition, or something like that.
And Nobume is like the stoner kid who always seems like she's just smoked half a pot before coming to class and has a resolutely one-track mind and you're like 'why am I stuck with her' during group project but turns out she's totally the most badass research sifu and you're like, SEMPAI. And Tsukuyo is the big sista figure who tells you to give up the names of people who try to bully you so that she can give each of them 'personal visits' and sob. They're all so...relatable.
