4th Wall Opt-out

Sakamoto is from Gintama, and hence is fourth-wall aware, as he often complains about his lack of screentime. The series itself makes several references to Japanese pop culture and has parodied several other popular series. Although Sakamoto isn't quite as up to date on Jump titles as Gintoki, he is canonically familiar with the Gundam series, Final Fantasy IV, and Ryomaden. Headcanon dictates that Japanese pop culture is also fair game. However, I tend to avoid fourth-walling in most scenarios as I feel like it can result in some pretty poor fallout. Some good examples of what's happened in games are as follows: Sakamoto confuses shounen protagonists and thus refers to Luffy as "Naruto" and Naruto as "Luffy," but never gets the details of the series quite right. Although Sailor Moon is a popular franchise, when he once ran into Makoto Kino in game, he couldn't quite pinpoint where he knew her from. He thought that she was a model or some famous actress.

In addition to this, a lot of his humor in canon is pretty inappropriate (ie, innuendos and the like), so if you that kind of thing makes you feel uncomfortable please let me know! While Sakamoto is joking most of the time, I also understand that his comments can make people uncomfortable, and while he doesn't take a lot of the skeevy things he says very seriously, I understand that his sense of humor can really get under the skin of some people. If you would rather not interact with him for this reason, or would hope for me not to tag your character, that's what this post is for!

Also, I can understand if sometimes Gintama characters are difficult for you to thread with because of the zany nature of the dialogue and odd punchlines. If you'd rather not thread with me or feel like a thread is going a little too crazy, please send me a message or comment on my HMD for him! I love feedback because there is always room for improvement.

No fourth-walling in general for Chie, because her canon is like...supposed to feel real, so if he started talking about muns watching them or something like that it'd be really weird! He can fourth-wall the other two but they'll just ignore him.
