Whatever choice Gintoki makes will either make or break this series' ending. Half of the readers want Utsuro dead for all the things he did in the background and up to the final confrontation. The other half wants him to live and be saved for the things he built up and taught to his students that still held up to this point. Whatever happens will be up to the troll gorilla.
Also does that mean that the Gorilla marriage was fake? I still feel bad for Kondo's situation. It feels unfair compared to what happened to the other characters.
