[Gintama, Serious] Void (MatsuGintoki)

In short, Yoshida Shoyo is reborn after death as a different version of Utsuro from the manga. His memories are jumbled at first, and he remembers only some of them. He'll gradually remember more as the story goes on.

The inspiration came from the Shogun Assassination arc and Sorachi's teaser for the final chapter. This is a serious story, not in Gintama's comedic style. There may be some face-slapping (actually, it's very likely), but don't worry, you'll get used to it after being slapped around a few times. It's a short story (probably), updated irregularly.

For my take on Utsuro, see the chapter about him in the story. I'll add to it from time to time. Last updated January 25.

To avoid any surprises, I'll explain the power levels first. I don't think Sorachi really set any power levels. When two characters fight, it's usually hard to say who will win. But since this story is about Utsuro, and he really seems incredibly powerful in the manga, here's the general ranking:

Utsuro >= Yato King, Hoshikai Bozu, Kamui > Joy3

In every sense, the protagonist (of this story) is invincible. After all, Utsuro's regeneration skill is even more broken than the Yato's...
