While searching for Katsura, Kagura faced off against Takasugi for a short time, but her instincts told her not to fight him because of his "dangerous smell", she was then attacked and then captured by Henpeita and Matako. Nizou believed that Takasugi was only angry because he attacked his former comrade, but he told Nizou if he ever called Gintoki or Katsura his comrades again he'd cut through him and the sword. Takasugi and the Kiheitai were upset with Nizou because he was being too reckless and attracted too much attention.
Nizou ends up challenging people to duels and killing them in one go, when he comes up against Katsura he nearly kills him, but the book Shouyou gave all his students saved his life. They needed to gather in-battle information about it, so they needed the help of Murata Tetsuya, the one who made the Benizakura swords, he gives the sword to Nizou and lets him test it out. It was later revealed that he actually came to Edo in order to test out a new bio-weapon, Benizakura. Takasugi comes to Edo to overthrow the Bakufu, but he didn't come alone this time, he decided to bring the entire Kiheitai. Takasugi ends up leaving the festival when his plan ends in failure, but Katsura catches up with him and tells him that Gintoki's fangs are not gone, because "everyone has fangs when they protect something." Before leaving Gintoki grabs his sword with his bare hands and punches him so he can get away and try to stop Gengai from carrying out his revenge. He then tells Gintoki that he is only here to enjoy the festival, but hints at how he may have manipulated Gengai into trying to assassinate the Shogun to get revenge for the Bakufu having killed his son. Before he can take out his sword, Takasugi takes out his and comments on how dull his fangs have become. He later goes and meets up with Gintoki which ends up surprising Gin, as he didn't realize he would be here.
He reunites with Katsura and as they begin talking he asks Takasugi if he is planning on doing anything, he tells him he's not, but if something did happen, it would overturn Japan. Takasugi makes his first appearance in this arc when he attends a festival held honoring the amanto's first arrival. According to Imai Nobume, Takasugi seeks to destroy what Yoshida Shouyou left behind. This hatred seems to have originated from the loss of his mentor Yoshida Shouyou, as Takasugi wants to destroy the world that took away his teacher. Takasugi also has a burning hatred for the new world that came to be after the Amanto settled down. He is ruthless, and does not hesitate to punish insubordination with death, as Nizou experienced first-hand when he realized that Takasugi was seriously aiming to kill him during the Benizakura chapter. Later, after reconciling with Gintoki, he stops using his bandages, his hair also gets longer in Rakuyou arc. He has also been seen playing the shamisen and wearing a sedge hat. He likes to smoke a thin pipe called kiseru. His left eye is bandaged, as he lost his eye during the Joui war and he is usually seen wearing a purple yukata with yellow butterflies. Wait.Takasugi has short, black hair with dark-purple highlights. He has a handsome, powerful mate, a nice bar that he runs, and a little yakuza group that's his family that his mate has no idea about. Language: English Words: 1,790 Chapters: 3/7 Kudos: 16 Hits: 221 AND OF COURSE GINTOKI DIDN'T COME UNTIL CHAPTERS LATER BECAUSE WE NEED TIME FOR TAKAZURA TO DEVELOP MUAHAHAHAįeaturing Takasugi the 'Final Boss' on the verge of job loss, Gintoki the sadistic and possible diabetic 'Hero', Katsura the rampaging 'Healer' and Sakamoto the loud but actually decent 'Trader'.
I'm too tired to write a summary so Basically the Final Boss' Party, or just Takechi and Matako kidnapped Zura so the 'hero' would come save Zura and fall into their trap. at least enough that he would avenge Zura if he ever dies.but more like Gintoki really cares about Zura.A huge mix of the Benizakura Joui-Reunion Owee and Silver Soul arcs.Adds characters as the story goes on I guess.
