I personally dont take those too serious but in Russia we says that “in every joke there is a part of joke” meaning that in every joke there is more reality than joking. I hope your remember all those jokes about gintama cancellation. Sorachi on other hand always gave impression of really stubborn person. That is just my personal impression nothing more. So yeah, Kubo probably did have beef with editors but honestly everytime I read about this, I always got the feeling that Tite never really-really insisted on his view of things. Returning to question…but before answering it let me point out something that I think is important. We have already seen everything that happened there just in other arcs. Gintama final arc is pretty much merry-go-round. The difference between Gintama final arc and Bleach final arc is that latter was approaching its end but was so slow in it that readers of jump and editorial department could not handle this anymore. 100 chapters enough for wrapping things nicely, for some reason Sorachi just doesnt want to do this. So now lets ask ourselves - If Jump refused to let Sorachi to write something he really wanted would he draws SS arc out of spite? The reason I ask this question and not why would Jump cut final arc before Sorachi could wrap things nicely is simple. Not going into details but it might be the reason why Kubo did lose some passion for giving Bleach ending it deserves and wrote the worst last chapter I have ever read. Kubo admitted that he did have problems with editorial department of Jump. Four years was enough for wrapping all plotlines nicely but along the line it felt like Tite stopped really care for his own work.

Kubo pointlessly stretched final arc and eventually it was his own downfall.

But to say the truth I can not blame Jump for it. Yes, I am talking about Bleach.ĭespite Kubos assurances that Bleach just ended on its own I dont really buy it. The current manga situation is very akin to another hit manga that very abruptly ended during the course of its too long for its own good final arc. Jump putting an end to it is more complicated matter. So I doubt he would end manga until he touches all that. Sorachi does not give impression of author who creates characters just for fun. So sensei made character based on him and then just leave him untouched? Strange to say. Especially the latter since gorilla said several times that Ryoma is his favorite historical figure. And knowing this it seems really out of place that he still hasnt really worked with Zura and Sakamoto. Yes, it kinda have an aura of ending but there is still quite a lot to cover and one thing gorilla was always good is giving development even to secondary character and having relatively logical plot building. Anyone who reads manga ongoing can feel that all recent events lead to ending… unless of course they actually have read gintama before SS arc. ProbablyĢ It is really ending because Sorachi ends it or because Jump puts an end to itĪll stories have to end someday and Gintama is no exception. Unless there is some crazy plotwist, I dont see any potential in this arc though I would prefer this option over whole manga ending. To say the truth those were the only things that gave Silver Soul arc some weight in my option. Plotlines that was stilll undeveloped after Rakuyou arc wasnt really given any good attention except Jirocho flashback about old days in Kabukicho and Kiheitai backstory. Over one hundred chapters the plot might seems like going somewhere but in truth it doesnt. Even the most hardcore fans shall tell that SS arc is either one of the weakest or the most weakest arc of the manga. It might sound strange but I dont sure there is a meaning in this. Sorachi at it again and it is just going to continue with the current arc Lets count the ways of what can happen.ġ. So yeah 5 chapters left huh? It means it is going to end at… 699? Well, okay. So let me share my thoughts about Gintama ending… Again. Troll or not troll? That is the question.

Is gintama over
