i did it, i reached The Episode in a natural and organic way

that was the gayest possible sacrifice

that was an act of love and no one can convbince me otherwise

shinsuke

L O V E

that episode took me out at the knees

shinsuke's story would have taken such a different turn if bansai had survived that, i feel

im in shambles

he gave his entire life to a hurricane

dAMN, tatsuma is out for blood

the way he screamed for mutsu was just

superb

takechi...

damn you

of all the fuckers to survive the battle it had to be you

ill take it only bc shinsuke in this arc is pristine fury

gutted. im gutted. im perishing. i wont make it

shinsuke's voice was just so, so soft

the piece that plays in those last moments imho was bansai’s rendition of shinsuke’s song and no one can tell me otherwise

i can def be wrong but i dont recall that track ever being played before that point Nd its crushing me a little

ooh was it? I should rewatch some of it but I always cry so much

yeah its duriing his flashbacks of his time w shinsuke. a beautiful little shamisen piece
