Episode 13

Summary

Gin encountered Daraku, who is a member of Harusame. He told Gin how he can't forgive three things, someone who gets in his way, someone who doesn't wash his hands and lastly someone with a natural perm, which all describes Gin. Then he attacked him and while fighting, Gin also told him the three things he hate.

After Gin defeated all the underlings, he took Kimiko and walked towards the door but when he opened it, they were lots of Amanto waiting for them outside.

Gin saw Kagura and Shinpachi captured and caused him to panic. Because of that he got attacked by Daraku. He and Kimiko fell off the window.

The scene changed during the war years ago and showed Gin carrying Katsura in his back, surrounded by dead bodies. A skeleton then spoke and told Gin to abandon Katsura since he is a burden and Gin might end up dying too, He said that even if Gin killed all the enemies, what's left is just a mountain of corpses, and he is powerless to protect someone.

Gin woke up from that nightmare. Katsura then, entered the room and made a comment how unusual for Gin to have nightmares. He was about to ask why Zura/Katsura was there when he suddenly remembered Kagura and Shinpachi. He got up but he coundn't since had a bad condition because most of his ribs were broken. Kimiko was also safe and avoided some external injuries since Gin protected her.

Katsura told Gin about the drug that was illegally sold called "Tensei-Kyou". Katsura also told him how he's fellow Jouishi saw them when they fell. Gin learned that Daraku was from the Harusame Space Pirates which is the largest crime syndicate in the galaxy. While Katsura was explaining, Gin dressed up and told Katsura that even if it is a burden, he can't abandon them. After hearing Gin's statement, Katsura decided to help him.

Quotes

• Skeleton: "Someone like you can't protect anyone."
• Sakata Gintoki: "A person's existence is like bearing a heavy burden while moving forward on a long road."
• Sakata Gintoki: "Just abandoning them would be easy but no matter what i can do, I can't feel that way. If they weren't around, just walking around or whatever would become rather boring."
• Katsura Kotarou: "Your right arm can't carry the entire burden. From now on, I'll be your left arm."
