"Happiness depends on each person. If you…" — Gintoki Sakata Quote

"*To Shinpachi* When your friend is crying, cry with him. When your friend is worried, you should worry with him. And when your friend has an awkward bowel movement, then you must have an awkward bowel movement too, Shin-chan. If you are a friend, you should be able to share the other's pain, no matter what. And Shin-chan, if your friend goes down the wrong path... Then, you must stop your friend, even if it ruins your friendship. That is true samurai friendship."

— Shimura Tae · Gintama

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"The country? the skies? You can have them. I'm busy just protecting what's right in front of me. I don't know what'll happen to me in the future, but if something has fallen at my feet, then the least I can do is pick it up."

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"Goodbye, vice captain. Why don't you suck on some mayonnaise in the afterlife? [he shoots, blowing up the whole wall]"

— Okita Sougo · Gintama

"[Shinpachi and Kagura are stuck in a trashcan, and have been pushed onto the train tracks. Shinpachi sees a train coming]This timing's just like some manga!"

— Shimura Shinpachi · Gintama

"Nobody can take anybody's place. There isn't a person in this world that could take your place. It doesn't matter if you were based on me or have the same face."

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama
