Talk:List of Gintama characters

Shinsuke and Hijikata

I'm not sure what "He stated that he is just have beast within him, and will continue to destroy anything until the beast within him stop to moarning" under "shinsuke" means. I haven't reached that part in the manga, so someone please clear this up.

Re: Takasugi's description: The person who wrote that was probably referring to chapter 31 (anime episode 17) where Takasugi said, "I don't mind being a beast. I have nothing to protect, nor do I have the need to protect anything. I just want to destroy it all, until the beast stops moaning." --Lareine 15:35, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Also, there's something about Hijikata's favorite food being unattractive, but I'm not sure if the food is mayonnaise, since he likes to put it on everything.--Spyderchan 21:37, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Character namesakes and citations

It is very obvious as to whom Katsura, Takasugi and Sakamoto are based on, so I believe that citations are not necessary, just as they aren't needed for Kondou, Hijikata and Okita. Their namesakes are all key people in the Meiji Restoration era. --Lareine 17:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

The above also applies to all the other characters with historical namesakes. --Lareine 17:17, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Katsura's Picture

Should we include his new picture from after his hair was cut? If so, could someone upload one? Thanks, Bluedragon.mist 03:44, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Okita Mitsuba

It's strange, all the other sections in this article are fairly short but her section is around 50 lines long and considering that she is a minor character, shouldn't her section get cut down a bit? 67.168.193.126 04:11, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. (I kind of thought it was a little spoilerish, myself, seeing as how I and probably many others have yet to reach that storyline.) 24.58.143.68 22:48, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Some of these characters rarely appear in the series, so a mention in the list is unneeded.Tintor2 (talk) 21:55, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Elizabeth

"In the manga, it is revealed that Elizabeth's real name is General Jiang-Lian of the Lian-Feng race, a race of mercenaries specialized in covert operations, and he, along with many Lian-feng, act as pets for numerous Earthlings in order to prepare Earth for an invasion."

What's the capther? =-/ --95.250.48.179 (talk) 15:42, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

It's in the latest chapters. Apparently volumes 40-41. Still haven't read them.Tintor2 (talk) 15:48, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Kotaro Katsura

I think Katsura's meeting with Ikumatsu is kind of important to this character because of the conjugal relation between the historical prototypes of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zoezhangxiao (talk • contribs) 23:16, 17 November 2015 (UTC)

Sadly we can't write that unless we have reliable sources.Tintor2 (talk) 00:57, 18 November 2015 (UTC)
