Hijikata and Gintoki are my two favorite characters in Gintama. Love them both. It's hilarious to see them both hiding from ghost or them bickering back and forth.

[@bliutiger5484]

Hijikata is one of those characters where I really love his flaws. They were displayed well in Mitsuba arc where it showed what kind of person he is and how he deals with Sougo and what he considers personal responsibility towards Mitsuba and Shinsengumi. There certaintly were better ways to go about it but for Hijikata, he dealt with things in his own imperfect way. Ofc, he goes on to open up to others and starts thinking about his feelings more as the series progresses, but it's those flaws in his character that makes him very human and endearing to me.

[@mairuzukage]

Yeah, honestly, there is a lot of things in which i can go into certain characteristics of the characters of Gintama but that's not necessarily what i'm showcasing in these videos but you pretty much hit the nail on the head when it comes to his character and it makes him one of the most interesting. That's the thing i applaud the series on, every character that is showcased within the series does have a flaw/flaws about them and when these flaws are brought up they are executed beautifully. Much like Gintoki, he has a hard time opening up with others but as you said, once the series progresses we see more to his character and begin to see those changes within him.

[@rf2523]

Though he looks cold, he is actually so nice to everyone (except for Yamazaki lol) That's why I love him

[@mairuzukage]

R F Nobody is nice to Yamazaki 😂

Pretty much haha. Through all the heartache, Gintama teaches us to carry forward no matter how difficult the past might be to overcome.

Thank you, appreciate it :D

[@hristvalkyrie2063]

Hijikata is born from the Planet Mayora tho XD

[@mairuzukage]

Lmao. A descendant of the Mayo-King!

[@placidopenitente1904]

You just earned a sub. Keep making them. I completely agree with all of the content. In addition to the fact that Toshi and Gin have closest similarities, Hijikata is the personality of what Gin could have been if he was disciplined. Since Gin was originally a non existent character and Sorachi was supposed to make Toshi the center of the series, I believe that similarities between Gin and Toshi were purposely made for them to mirror and parallel each other or be different version of one entity. Like Gin is the slacking version Toshi and Toshi is the disciplined version of Gin..

[@mairuzukage]

I think i understand what you mean! Also, thank you for subbing, love making these videos and it makes me happy that others can find joy out of them. Really appreciate it!

[@kratosgow342]

there's even a scene where they jokingly said about Gintoki should change color for his hair to black color and surprise surprise it look very similar to Hijikata

There should be another anime where hijikata becomes the MC

[@mairuzukage]

A spin off series would be great! Shinsengumi Tales...

[@Suc-Chii]

I already imagine Hijikata, Sougo, Kondou trio comedic dynamic as the main mc of their spinoff series that would be funny considering They can switch roles as the boke and tsukkomi
