"Goodbye, vice captain. Why don't you suc…" — Okita Sougo Quote

"A farewell is like the other side of a coin. It will only happen when there is an encounter. Rather than dreading the day we have to part, shouldn't we be happy that we had the chance to meet today instead?"

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"Hey, what's that natto for, anyway? If you intend to seduce me with it, you're way off base, you know."

"A prison, you say? You think you'll be free if you go to the world above? A girl like you can never be free no matter where you go. After all, we humans are apes put in a cage called Earth. There is no difference between the world above and the world below. The only difference is which is bigger or smaller. People who pout about how confining the cage is can never be happy. They live their lives only seeing the iron bars. A true lack of freedom is when you cage your soul."

— Gintama · Gintama

"Blah, blah, blah, blah… quit your blabbering. Look at this. [holds up an empty glass] Thanks to you assholes, my chocolate parfait [hits one of the amanto with his bokuto] fell to the ground!"

— Gintoki Sakata · Gintama

"It's true that your luster may not have been as bright as gold. You only shined on occasion. You were always arguing and fighting. You have wavy hair. You were lazy. You were the king of sexual harassment. You never paid the rent. You paid your people late. Still, you were brighter than the fake glint of gold plating. When you were angry, your entire soul was enraged. When you laughed, you laughed with all your heart. Your silver was much more beautiful."

— Tama · Gintama

"We could drive them off the entire earth if we had your strength, Gintoki!"

— Kotarō Katsura · Gintama
