[After the credits]
Shinpachi: Hey Gin-san, why is this manga called Gintama? I mean, you have to practically buy a special volume just to find out why it’s named this way!
Gintoki: Well see, it’s kinda formulated so high-school girls across the country can say, ‘Hey, did you see this week’s Gintama?’ So we rely on stuff like that to reach our goals. One might say that we’re systematically taking over the country, but it seems to be a horrific failure.
Shinpachi: Well I suppose that’s so, but hey, Kagura-chan, what have you been eating over there, all this time?
Kagura: [eating a dumpling as big as her] Takoyaki!

Kondo: [up a telephone pole] Otae-san! Otae-saaaaaaaaan! Marry Meeeeee! I won't give up after being turned down once or twice! Woman want to be loved more than they want to love!! My mom told me so!
