Gintama Episode 214

The poor kid is probably going to be scorned for life.

Much like several of this season's series, Gintama's latest arc reaches its conclusion. Catherine manages to reach Teruhiko in time, however, the poor boy is even more afraid of her than his captives (I don't really blame him, though, what with the way Catherine was dressed and all. Shinpachi and Kagura attempt to mend the situation, but they make it even more hilariously awkward.

I seriously should have seen this coming.

The "Kabuki Cats" somehow manage to convince Teruhiko to come with them and Saigo's heart is put at ease as he continues to battle the amanto along with the rest of the Kabuki District. Elsewhere, Gin and Jirochou pawn all of Kada's elite soldiers and, though Gintama doesn't have the best animation out there, the fight scenes are, more often than not, usually executed extremely well and this scene was just epic.

SO. MUCH. CARCASSES.

The Kabuki citizens end up emerging victorious as well with there immense number and FIGHTING SPIRIT and begin to head to Kada's location, much to her dismay. She then flees the scene in an angry little fit, and Gin and Jirochou decide to settle things once and for all. The battle is decided in an epic blow, and Tatsugoro's face is finally revealed.

If she's this strong, then why didn't she join in the fight?

He kind of looks like Hijikata.

EPIC

 Gin (of course) emerges victorious, and the next time Jirochou awakens, he finds himself inside a hospital. "Coincidentally", Otose and Saigo are in the same room as him, and, with the aid of Otose's kind words (and Gin's beating), Jirochou sees the error of his ways and decides to return to Piroko once and for all. This being Gintama, the mood doesn't last long and majority of those who participated in the battle, as well as Saigo who was pretending to be asleep, were eavesdropping on the two. And, this being Gintama, this lighthearted scene was pulled off nicely as well. Outside of the hospital, however, Kada attempts to reek vengeance on Jirochou, only to be pawned once again by both Piroko and the Yorozuya gang. Afterwards, the Kabuki District returns back to normal (or as normal as it gets in this series) and Piroko is reunited once again with her father. And then I started Ba'wwwing at the heart warming scene, especially when Piroko started tearing up. Seriously, Gintama can really pull at your heart strings when its not screwing around with the law of physics or focusing on toilet jokes and random references (not that I mind those gags).

Nice to know that they care.

Apparently, Hasegawa is part-gundam now.

;-;

Once again, Gintama does not disappoint. This arc was built up and ended on a great note. Chances are, the next episode will be filled with the usual random, slapstick comedy that this series is known for,which I also look forward too (Though that's pretty doubtful, since Takasugi was featured in the preview, but hey, I could be wrong). Until then, this episode gets:
