After all, I lied to your sister about how we were friends and all. I'll be with you until the end, Soichiro-kun.
Sakata Gintoki shares a lot of similarities with Okita Sougo – the first and foremost being an intense satisfaction in putting Hijikata under mental duress. Gintoki is often teased by Okita – who seems to have the perfect formula for getting Gintoki worked up. Though Okita refers to him as Boss and seems to admire him to some extent – given that he had Gintoki pose as his friend when his older sister Mitsuba came into town. Though Gintoki seems to have a fondness for Okita, he refers to him often as one would refer a child and never seems to get Sougo's name right.
Why change it? This is a life that you chose for yourself, and nothing will change that. You don't need to fret, nor do you need to be embarrassed. No one else can or should choose the path that you walk upon. Just puff out your chest and walk proudly. There's nothing wrong with your face. As long as your soul doesn't get scarred, your face will remain beautiful.
Tsukuyo stands as the intimidating head of the Hyakka, and is also referred to by Gintoki as the drunk terminator. A victim of Tsukuyo's drunken rampages, Gintoki has become flippant in his regard for her so that he can avoid a (karmatic) beat down. Despite this behavior, Gintoki has admitted that he's attracted to Tsukuyo physically and has assisted her in her desire to protect Yoshiwaru several times. He becomes protective of her during the Red Spider arc, when he finds that her former sensei has manipulated her and attempted to break her down so that she can be exactly the way he wished. He admires Tsukuyo for her ability to shoulder the weight of her sensei's burdens and wishes that he could have been as strong. The two work well together and maintain a flow with one another as they move through situations.
Here you go. I got your glasses fixed. Just throw away that filthy pair.
Sarutobi Ayame is often a thorn in Gintoki's side. She stalks him mercilessly, attempting to get close to him at any opportunity. Gintoki often locks up and quickly grows agitated by her constant advances, resorting to physically throwing her away in order to get rid of her. Despite his apparent sadistic tendencies, the idea of having a woman throw herself at him and begging for his dominance causes him to freeze up and attempt to leave the situation. Ayame is often treated as a joke throughout the series, though later when Gintoki breaks her glasses he's finally forced to see just how deep her devotion to him is. He finally begins to become a little more empathetic towards her feelings after seeing just how much she treasured the glasses he gave her because they were the “first gift” she received from her beloved (despite the fact that Gintoki literally plucked the glasses off of an old man's face in an attempt to get her off his case.)
”Friendship, Struggle, and Victory?” You think you can master those just by reading JUMP?
Zenzou Hattori is another avid JUMP fan and seems to share several similarities with Sakata Gintoki. Gintoki and Zenzou nearly fight to the death over the Double Issue Christmas Akamaru JUMP in episode 37, both attempting to one-up one another in who is the 'better' Weekly JUMP fan. As Zenzou makes other scattered appearances throughout the series, he often is the victim of Gintoki's antics. Often, Gintoki even becomes a literal pain in Zenzou's ass by either accidentally or intentionally striking the ninja on his hemorrhoid-ridden bum. Later in the series, Zenzou goes so far as to save Gintoki's life after his initial battle with Jiraia – showing that the two have formed a sense of comradery through the series.
Even if you lose all memory in your head, the ones engraved in your heart and the ones that exist in your soul will never disappear, no matter what happens.
Throughout the series, Gintoki proves time and time again to be a magnetic personality. He easily empathizes with other characters and will devote himself to helping protect what they find precious. The former samurai holds a special weak spot for families and children, despite his rather immature disposition. The possession of his well-intentioned soul helps for other characters to trust in him and look to him in their times of need, even if they have to suffer through dealing with an unapologetic man-child.
Flavor Abilities:
Sakata Gintoki is a mere human, capable of dying just as well as the next main character of a popular Shounen series. Really, he can die. He's just as tenacious as a cockroach, so it might be a bit of an endeavor covered over a multiple-episode arc. He's susceptible to cold temperatues and will let anyone know just how much his junk has suffered in this climate.
Gintoki possesses notable skill in swordsmanship, though his style if often described as 'wild' by other samurai who witness his techniques. He seems to possess more strength than the average human, but not to the level of being considered a 'super power' or anything of that sort.
Gintoki is able to ingest obscene amount of sugars without suffering from an upset stomach, though his digestive system has weakened in his old age. His laziness is also a notable ability that should be included in any resume.
Suitability:
Gintoki is more than susceptible to horror tropes, no matter how cliched. Ghosts and the supernatural get under his skin easily, which makes the cabin fever of this game especially interesting. Sakata Gintoki is a drifter, and despite how lazy he is – likes to find something to preoccupy himself. The setting will take its toll on him, as the inability to acquire sweet foods or a new issue of the Weekly Shounen JUMP can not keep him entertained indefinitely. The idea that the harsh conditions impedes his ability to go out and do as he pleases will also begin to irritate him.
I am excited to explore what will happen to Gintoki as he is forcibly seperated from people and is unable to properly protect all of those around him. While he is an independent person, he is also a man who thrives from drifting in and out of the lives of people. He will be wanting to formulate just how he can return home – or at least return to some form of civilization.
