Gintama/Heartwarming


 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: Many of these as well, although the Yoshiwara arc in particular is rather tear-inducing. If you don't cry at you're made of stone.
 * Also, the half-episode There's Almost a 100% Chance You’ll Forget Your Umbrella and Hate Yourself For It, in which Kagura
 * You know, Independence Day isn't that bad, is it?
 * In the second half of episode 189, Kagura keeps up her radio exercises for months because of a promise she made to a friend. She tries to do so even in the rain, but she can't get her radio to work, and breaks it in frustration. Just as she's about to start crying, Gintoki steps in to help her continue.
 * How Madao/Hasegawa-san gave up his chance at a job in order to mend a broken family in Chapter 274.
 * Episode 213, the end of the Four Devas Arc.
 * And before that, also during the Four Devas Arc,
 * Episode 59, where Otae gives Gintoki her favorite umbrella. The accompanying background music certainly helps.
 * For a gag series, Gintama has a lot of heartwarming moments. Anytime Gintoki sheds his lazy, apathetic loser persona to say some good ol' shonen lines to his friends/extras of the week.
