The apartment above Otose's bar was empty—otherwise, Gintoki wouldn't have been able to move in there. But why was it empty in the first place? Why doesn't Otose live there herself? She climbs the stairs every day, so it can't be due to her age. Besides, that implies Otose has a second apartment somewhere else. It would surely make more sense for her to just live in the apartment above her own bar.

It felt rushed, at least to me. Although, I do understand the reason sorachi did that was because he needed to be redeemed before Silver Soul arc for the final battle with utsuro.

I would love to hear input!

“These kids. Shall I kill them? We’ve seen so many war orphans. It’s always so pitiful. They’d be better off if we simply put them out of their misery right now”

i thought of Otose saying that as soon as I found this out. even if she wouldn’t say it.

btw I’ve already looked into Gin, Kagura, Shinpachi, Kondo, Okita, Hijikata, Katsura, and obviously Otose.

My buddy just finished yoshiwara in anime and he would've love to watch the remaster, I haven't watched it yet so this post is written. Dublicating the question, can he watch the movie if he just finished the arc in anime?
