The Shinsengumi was shaken to the core by Ito’s takeover plan. And the person who was really behind the whole plot is revealed! Ito discovers he was just being manipulated and what Hijikata and Kondo's true feelings about him are. And as he lies dying of his wounds, Ito is finally able to reexamine his life and come to terms with himself. As the Shinsengumi fiercely clash against attacking ronin, Gintoki and Bansai Kawakami's battle-to-the-death nears its conclusion!
Ito has really bad parents. Unless he was born by accident, or even if he was, you should always love your child no matter what. That's the innate instinct that all mammal parents should have. Besides that, LOL at the end.
There is nothing I didn't love about this arc. The Yorozuya in Shinengumi uniforms; Okita a fierce killing machine; Kondo doggedly loyal; wacky humor (Kagura couldn't stomach mayonnaise on dango, lol), and of course Hijikata awesomeness.
