Even if Gintama goes back and forth between serious chapters/arcs and comedy ones, there's still a limit. Replacing some of the characters would let him use new gags/character quirks instead of needing to continue reusing them past their expiration date. Hijikata's mayo fetish hasn't been too entertaining for awhile, though the rest of his character is interesting enough (such as his reasoning behind the mayo usage). Still, it's not an easy thing to decide to kill any character that is even remotely popular as there's likely to be a significant part of the audience whose primary interest in the series is because of that character. As an aside, for anyone that's never come across it, here's an image that expresses Gintama's plot in comparison to a few other mangas. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/lhWpHSp.png?1) | ||

There's also the formula that the bad guy made you think he killed [insert character], only to find out their intentions were actually noble, and that they end up being good guys (after having a final fight with Gintoki). I wouldn't be surprised Gintoki's master is still alive too, despite having his head chopped off. | ||

I FUCKING CALLED IT. ![[image loading]](http://i995.mangareader.net/gintama/544/gintama-5723504.jpg) So predictable, really. | ||

How they went through all that trouble to save Shigi Shigi after he pretended to be killed by that ninja guy but in the end he was really alive and fights alongside them with many near deaths if not for last minute saves by random characters and then after it all ends only later for him to die off screen apparently through being poisoned by some tea. Obviously I wouldn't bet on him being TRULY dead. | ||

Not much is different from the anime to the manga. Anime has fillers obviously but there isn't much change. | ||
