Gintama (TV Series)

There Is Butt a Fine Line Between Persistence and Stubbornness (2006)

Tomokazu Sugita: Gintoki Sakata

Quotes 

• Sakata Gintoki : How nice... it's sunset. Duels should be fought in the evening.

  Kondo Isao : You've got a silver tongue, for a silver-headed perm boy.

  Sakata Gintoki : You're pretty articulate yourself, for a gorilla.

  Kondo Isao : I'm not a gorilla! I may look like a gorilla, but I'm not!

• [as the second half of the show begins] 

  Sakata Gintoki : This is Gintama, right? Hey? What? Huh? Right? If it were just Tama it'd be a flop! If I'm not in it, why is it Gintama?

  Shimura Shinpachi : Well, today's episode is called: 'Exposé! 24 hours in the lives of the out-of-control Shinsengumi!'

  Sakata Gintoki : What's up with that? I didn't hear about this!

  Shimura Shinpachi : Don't complain, Gin-san. At this rate, the Shinsengumi may actually become the main characters.

  Sakata Gintoki : Seriously? That's right, they didn't show the Gintama opening song today! That was a close call. This is Gintama! And I'm the main character!

  [the opening credits start] 

• Sakata Gintoki : Idiot. I'm not going to run for small fry like you.

  Kondo Isao : Finally. You're late! Were you getting your hair dyed or something?

  Sakata Gintoki : A hero never dyes his hair! I needed sugar!

  Kondo Isao : I never heard of a hero who needs a sugar rush to fight.

• Kondo Isao : You're a good man. No, you're an honorable man. Kid, lend me your bokuto.

  Sakata Gintoki : You're a good man too. Use that, my pride and joy, the Touya-ko.

  Sakata Gintoki : You're so naive, Soooo naive... to think that an enemy would give you his weapon. I fixed it earlier so that it'd break if you so much as swung it around.

• Sakata Gintoki : It would be stupid for anyone to lose anything over a matter like this. This was the best way to settle it painlessly.

  Kondo Isao : [on the ground, beaten up]  This is painless?

• Sakata Gintoki : All right then. Let's go you guys...

  Kagura : [strangling Gintoki from behind]  I misjudged you! I thought you were an honorable samurai!

  Shimura Shinpachi : [kicking Gintoki]  Are you proud of yourself, you damn dirty cheat?

  Sakata Gintoki : Come on, I protected your sister. Don't be like...

  Kagura : I'm going home. Don't ever show your face to me again!

  Shimura Shinpachi : I'm taking a leave of absence!

  Shimura Tae : Painless, eh? Well, it looks like Gin-chan's the one in the most pain, in the end...
