Another underrated moment between Otose and Gintoki in 4 Devas Arc.

These two have known each other for a couple of years, and knowing Otose, she's no stranger to Gintoki's habits, both good and bad. Otose is fully aware of Gintoki's beast-like strength and how +
reckless he can get when it comes to protecting others, especially her. That's why she feared and sadly knew that Gintoki was planning to fight until his injured body gave out. She knew he was going to fight all of Kabukicho by himself for her sake and his friends, so that +
they don't have to worry about being attacked when he is not near. By asking Gintoki to watch her die, Otose would rather have him alive by her side instead seeing him die for her sake, despite Gintoki's promise to her. But Gintoki couldn't bare to see Otose hurt again bc he +
wasn't there to protect her on time, and he feared the people both he and Otose cared about would get hurt as well. So he chose to get rid of everyone who would be a threat to them, so they could continue to live a peaceful life in the place they loved, even if that meant he +
wouldn't be by their side. Gintoki even brings up the topic of paying rent to assure Otose that he would return, bc he too knew what he was about to do. But it was everyone, especially Otose, before himself, and a promise he's not planning to break again, even at the cost of +
his own life.

Otose knows just how far Gintoki is willing to push himself for her and his friends' sake, and that's the very thing she fears. But all she could do is hold on to Gintoki's words and promise while watching him walk away, uncertain if she will see him again.
