Somehow, these guys had been our enimies the entire show, and I ended yelling 'NO BANSAI' when he died, I have no clue how I became so attached to characters I previously didn't really care for. The brillance of this arc
it's probably because we spent 360+ episodes watching them, I finished Gintama in one month (I had a really long quarantine sigh) and I spent more time watching the characters then talking to real life people, before I knew it I was attached. The episodes are sometimes boring and disgusting too, but they just serve to make the characters more close to real people. As if you know them so well that you know all their fetishes and favourite food and embarrassing moments, like a real friend.
