Sakata Gintoki: More than Just Another Shounen Hero

Sorachi makes us bond with Gintoki with his day to day common needs, his realistic attitude in life and his bonding with people around him with whom he doesn't befriend because of their sad past or whatever, but because of who they actually are in the present. Then later on you see Gintoki's past and you are so attached to this character that your heart completely breaks for him when you realize that he is just trying to live like a normal person, despite once having been a swordsman most feared. He doesn't want to gain more power, he just wants to cherish the small moments and that's why he fights. Literally thinking of what he will have for breakfast the next day in the middle of a death match. It's a shame I haven't met many fans irl.

[@nessyness5447]

Yeah , i really like about gintama than instead of beinga shounen juat centered in fights to achieve a target , it is more like a mix of slice of life, comedy/parody and shounen. It allows the characters to be much deeper and their bonds better written.

[@shahidulaninda5348]

Is gintoki a ronin?

[@pennyinheaven]

Yup. Indeed. That's why I was so attached to the series because it felt like I was just hanging out with friends every time I read it. Not being bound by a strict plot made me feel, as a reader, part of their world having to deal with their typical banters. And thus it hurt more when I read the very last chapter.

[@allyfelii]

[@pugachevskobra5636]

That was such a badass scene. Gintoki's bloodlust was so massive it translated as an actual person but at the same time he's not focused solely on whether he lives or dies. Dude is just out there fighting a death match while being so detached from his surroundings it's insane.

[@rosehikari]

Its easy to like Gintoki because he is more human than most shonen heroes. Gin's faults are so real that most of us have one or two. He feels real but at the same time he is not. Thats the best quality he has, at last for me.

[@OrRaino]

Only thing about Gintama I hate is that It ends.

[@halnyx7488]

Everything about Gintoki is super unconventional in the Shounen industry from his age, his way of life, and how we come to know him through his past. What I find very intriguing about him as the protagonist is how he is the "aftermath" of a goal instead of the beginning. In addition to being older than most typical MCs, he is in the novel position where he had not only completed the "journey" to his objective, but also failed to achieve it. Usually Shounen promotes the concept of if you work hard, struggle alongside your friends, and overcome adversity through victory, you will achieve your goal. But that isn't how things turned out for Gin. Even though he and his friends struggled through so much hardships in the war, and even earned a name for himself that made him a living legend, it all ended up being for nothing as he destroyed it all in one single moment with his own hands. Coincidently this poses a very interesting question to the reader that you hardly see presented through a traditional Shounen protagonist; when the objective you struggled for is gone, what do you have left? Later on Gin confessed to Shinpachi and Kagura that he actually created Yorozuya out of the lofty reason that he had nothing better to do. It ironically reflected what Shouyou was talking about when he was chatting with Takasugi, how it's okay to wander in life. It's okay to be lost and not have an ambition, because it's when we are wandering that we find something worth picking up. Gin through his day to day life with Yorozuya managed to find countless moments in which he found fulfillment and purpose. And though they weren't always as grand as Sakamoto's business, or as noble as Zura's Joi Patriotism, or as ambitious as Takasugi's pursuit to completely overthrow the corruption of power, his way of life was far from being meaningless. It's like he said before, the things he protected then are no different to what he protects now. Even in the most difficult of circumstances he will always find a reason to raise his sword.

[@bish1648]

very well said, king

[@halnyx7488]

@@bish1648 Thanks. ^^ Actually something really sad occurred to me about Gin. Specifically in the Shinigami Arc where we find out he was incarcerated at one point. Although it was by his choice to help save Asaemon and anyone affiliated with the Joi Patriots, I couldn't help but think maybe the reason he also gave himself up was because he just didn't want to live anymore. Or to put it more accurately, he didn't feel he deserved to live anymore. If there came an opportunity for him to make use of his life while getting rid of all the anguish and guilt that weighed heavily on his heart, why wouldn't he turn himself in? But yet again he is saved through the kindness of Asaemon's adopted father, Yaemon, who served as one of the many people in his life to help push him forward and not give up on living. Even when there are SO many times Gin did feel a sense of giving up because he didn't want to feel the pain of loneliness and loss, his influence on others keeps him from giving in on those rare instances. Which is such a crucial highlight in this series that the main character is only as strong as the supporting cast who help push him forward, and it's why Gintama deserves to be so high up on the list as a timeless classic.

You know, I like the fact that Gintoki's past was revealed to us bit by bit. That made it clear that Gintoki just wants a peaceful life. If other shounen main characters use their past as motivation, Gintoki kept his past as a past and just continue to live with it. I don't know about others but to me that is relatable.

[@vegito123456]

Considering how Gintoki and how most of the cast are adults, and how much Sorachi talks about Jump in Gintama, I believe Sorachi wrote Gintama for the adults who still read Jump. A lot of the comedy definitely is not kid friendly and the cast as a whole is more relatable to adults than teenagers.

In the end the point of one piece is not really if luffy will become pirate king, is that he is helping to influence a revolution and in the end that corrupted central goverment will fall and the world will have a new, better , start with the joined colaboration of everyone.

But with Gintoki he has no goal and doesn't want to do adult things and stay young forever doing nothing sounds useless but that's what makes him so loveable because we all don't want to pay rent, grow up, go to work, we just want to stay home and watch tv being lazy.

Same same same. The thing I love about Gintama and Gintoki is the fact that starts after all the "story happens" after all his story as him being the "Shiroyasha", Gintoki living just his life. He has charm, he is just a different from your typical main character. He's so unperfect but perfect at the same time, and I love that about him. His personality and his beliefs in life, the way he goes through life even though he suffered a lot in the past even though that, he tills lives his life at his fullest not thinking in all the pain he lived before in his childhood or with his pals and his master. He lives the now with his friends not worrying about the tomorrow. I'm not the type of girl who usually watches shounen a lot because I usually get bored so easily but Gintama is different and I'm glad I watched a long time ago and even though it has been years since I watched I still remember it so beautifully. ☺

[@VGHistory1]

Very best example of this juxtaposition of Gintoki is the episode "The More Precious the Burden, The Heavier and More Difficult it is to Shoulder" where he beats the ever living shit out of Jiraia and rescues his friend (her name escapes me at the moment). The fight itself was so-so but it was the dialogue that did more to flesh out Gintoki and help explain his motivations. The ass beating was just the cherry on top.

[@MTTKamikaze]

"Don't bother telling me to run again. Trying to shoulder the burden all by yourself? Don't be such a stranger. Weep and ask for help. Lean on me with your runny nose. Cry when you feel like crying. Laugh when you feel like laughing. When you're tearing up with an ugly face, I'll give you a good cry with an uglier face. When you're laughing so hard your stomach hurts, I'll laugh in a louder voice. That's how it should be. It's far better to get dirty while living true to yourself, than to throw away yourself and die a clean death." - man, I just love that quote of his. One of his more defining ones, at that.

You've pointed out the reason why Gintoki (to me) is the greatest protagonist in all of fictional media. He's been so fleshed out purely because audiences have been introduced to his wacky and silly side. He is (imo) the most serious and most impactful shonen hero ever made. Mostly because he has no superpower. The reason why he still stands up to fight isn't his ridiculous stamina or body. It's because he doesn't give up and believes in his companions. No matter how bloody or injured Gintoki gets, he stands up and fights because he wants to protect what matters to him the most. There're no special powers that appear. It's just his willpower. And that, to me, is the strongest power a person can have. To protect what matters to Gintoki the most, no matter what.

[@neor2354]

He is my favorite anime protag, it's a man who accepted most of what happened in the past and lives on with what little interests him. People annoy him often times, and he annoys them as well. But he does it because he cares for them. Something funny is that Gintama is a mesh between japanese anime and american cartoons and shows. Anime most often have a story, a beggining, a long bridge with development and ups downs. The american media is more about either a family or group of friends, in every episode they start out having new experiences and a happy end. But the next episode, it all starts anew. Like the Sofa from the Simsons, always being the one place of gathering and always starting a new cycle. Gintama has both of it, it rewards you big time for certain moments, hence development is always present but is not neccesary to know to watch whatever episode. Gintama can be watched from any episode, and yet, it has a start with explanations on the situation in Edo. Gintoki always fights to get back to the normal, boring lifestyle that he chose, every ark is as important as the last one. The Yorozuya is similar to the Simsons sofa, but it is not a place of restart, it in itself is Gintoki's goal, to return home from a long day and get to be lazy tomorrow. He is more naturally human than most anime characters for this reason, because silver is something we all somewhat share, but in Gintoki it shines. It is not golden and perfect, nor is it black and horrible. It's Silver Soul.

[@hirobeez]

Well, in some ways he is the Hero who already lost, so he knows what is important. He has a lot of similarities to Kenshin, not as "refined" but in many was just as mature. He fights to live everyday, not for tomorrow.

He got the most depth tbh as a fellow adult he's my absolute fav. I can see teens liking him too even if they cannot relate as much. The show delivers the jokes in a simple manner so everybody can enjoy.

[@aishwaryakamath026]

Man, I absolutely love the episodic/ slice of life arc gintama has, with each episodes it just tells you, a lil more about the characters. My fav gintoki moment is definitely, the 2 episode arc where he temporarily loses his memory and sees himself for the first time in eyes of a stranger and realises, how a pathetic man he truly was, it just adds so much to his character and releases kagura and shinpachi, that they are free now. And in next kintoki arc, where tama says that, ‘Your silver soul was brightest and shined more than any gold will ever be’ it just shows that gintoki never faked his true self to anyone and just represented himself the way he was, and people around him truly loved and admired him for what he is.

@@illsmith4076 why?

[@toshi1154]

ssj4 goku First 2 episodes are filler, to celebrate the adaptation to anime, but, I guess it’s perfectly fine to watch them too, the thing is, many people think they are... emmm... kinda bad? I personally enjoyed them, maybe it’s because they feel strange, doesn’t feel like Gintama at instances, but, anyway, that’s why, I extended myself a bit.

[@johnjoestar5731]

Regiaviles :3 Thanks for the info mate!✌️😁

[@lly_09]

For the newcomers, the show is slow-paced, the beginning eps are bit boring but don't drop it. If you pass 50 eps, you may start expecting some actions. Gintama is like a snow ball that started out small, but by the end it's like an avalanche. Don't drop it and you'll know why it's called a masterpiece. Also it's best when you know japanese and a good anime history. But nevertheless you'll enjoy it

[@MrVacoz]

He might not be the most perfect character has ever been writen, but he takes my first place favorite character seat and would never be replaced.

[@animen2463]

its so hard to describe Gintoki,he's more relatable than any shounen hero you can't say he's lazy as that would contradict his nature of always helping others you an't say he's a scaredy cat as he willingly runs facefirst into danger and at the same time u cant call him fearless as he freaks out at ghost's he's so fleshed out he makes naruto and co look one dimensional the only character as fleshed out as him would be Lelouch

[@andysyark4696]

Agreed. He's a more complex character than any other shonen heroes troupe that get me bored. Now gintama, i can watch a hundred times and i still feel the genuine soul of sorachi giving gintoki and his crew life. When you even care about the villain like nobunobu and cried when they actually died, you know you got a great story

[@pyraee]

Gintoki is goofy but when he needs to be dependable, there is nobody as dependent as him. He is not a hero , he is someone among us who protects us when we need the most

I read a lot of manga/manhua/manhwa and whenever I read the commets I get suprised at how many people drop a certain story because the protagonist makes a mistake, does something evil or for being weak (in like the first chapters of the manga).
