The hugely popular anime "Gintama". It is a sci-fi comedy set in Kabukicho, a town in Edo where aliens have invaded. It is a hugely popular work that is full of humor, seriousness, emotion, dirty jokes, parodies, current events, and more. There are many attractive and unique characters in "Gintama". Among them, the character that stands out the most is Sachiko, also known as Sarutobi Ayame. Sachiko is beautiful, but she is known to be quite a masochist (!). In this article, we will thoroughly explain the charms of Sachiko!

The charms of Sarutobi Ayame 1 (When she is silent) She is very beautiful!

Sarutobi Ayame, also known as "Sacchan," is 169 cm tall, weighs 52 kg, and is born on June 2nd. She has long purple hair, red glasses, and a mole on her right eye. She has an outstanding figure, and is a very beautiful woman when she is quiet. However, as I will explain later, she is quite a masochist, so she is often treated as a "beautiful woman who is unfortunate." Incidentally, according to the original author, Sorachi Hideaki, she is "the most difficult character to handle," but he also said that "if I were to have a girlfriend, it would be Sachi."

Sarutobi Ayame's Charm ② She's quite a masochist!

She's known as a pretty masochist, even though she's always treated coldly by Gintoki, the man she has feelings for, but she finds it pleasurable. She has a slightly (quite?) perverted nature. Sachiko's main job is a hit man, and she says she "keeps her work and private life separate." She's always switching between "hit man mode" and "slut mode." However, she's easily swayed by her emotions even at work, so she sometimes switches to slut mode for no apparent reason.

Sarutobi Ayame's charms 3: Her job is a hit man! Once a top-class female ninja

Sachiko was once a female ninja in the Shogunate's secret group, the Oniwabanshu. However, since the group was disbanded, she now works as a killer specializing in killing villains. She takes pride in her work, and is not motivated by financial considerations. As you would expect from a ninja, she fights with weapons such as kunai, caltrops, and smoke screens. She is also light on her feet, jumping from building to building. By the way, she also uses her favorite food, natto, in her attacks.

Charm of Sarutobi Ayame #4: She loves Gintoki! Is she a serious stalker?

Sachiko loves the main character, Gintoki. Even though she is a masochist, she is a ninja, so she is usually a cold-hearted Sachiko, but in front of Gintoki, she suddenly becomes a maiden. In the past, Sacchan had come to Yorozuya to make up for a mistake she made at work, and was trying to use Gintoki. However, Gintoki saw through her and helped her, and that's when their love began. That would have been fine, but after that incident, while stalking Gintoki, he abused her so much that she somehow awakened to her masochistic side. Gintoki was the cause of Sacchan's masochistic side. Gradually, Sacchan's feelings escalated, and she began to stalk him more and more, such as hiding in a dresser and remodeling Yorozuya on her own (!) to make it easier to stalk him.

Sarutobi Ayame's charm point ⑤ Extreme nearsightedness! ? I can't see anything

Sachi always wears red glasses. In fact, she is extremely nearsighted, and she says, "Without my glasses, I can't see tomorrow either" (?). When Sachi takes off her glasses, she can't see anything around her, and for some reason, her hearing gets worse. If her glasses come off for some reason, even if it's an important moment, she will make a ridiculous mistake without even realizing it. If they come off in the middle of a fight, it will be a real disaster.

Sarutobi Ayame's Charms 6. Is she a rival to Otome-san and Tsukuyomi? However...

Sachiko regards fellow female characters Otome and Tsukuyo as her one-sided love rivals. Sachiko always appeals to her in a straightforward way, but Otome also had a rather good vibe in the Benizakura arc. Furthermore, Tsukuyo seems to like Gintoki too... So, Gintoki is very popular with girls, but of course Sacchan is not amused by him. Whenever they meet, Sacchan attacks him as a rival, but in fact they are not all bad friends. There are scenes where the three of them - Sacchan, Otome, Tsukuyo, and Yagyu Kyubei - act and fight together. Also, in the second movie, when Otome falls ill, Sacchan gives her encouragement, almost like a scolding. After all, they are good friends, and we can see the kindness of Sacchan, who cannot be honest with herself.

The Charm of Sarutobi Ayame 7. She has a long-standing relationship with Hattori Zenzo!

He studied with Hattori Zenzou at the ninja school and was the head of the Oniwabanshu. He is still in close contact with him for work. They have known each other for a long time and are cool coworkers, but they seem to care about each other. The relationship between the two is well depicted in the feature-length "Shogun Assassination Arc". It was a very serious episode, and not only were there some cool scenes of Sachiko as a ninja, but the story also conveyed her feelings for her friends and her sense of justice. If you're interested, be sure to check it out! By the way, Zenzo usually hides his face with his bangs, but his real face is handsome!

Sarutobi Ayame's charm 8: Her quotes are cool!

The characters in "Gintama" have a variety of quotes. Of course, Sachiko also has many quotes that touch the heart. Here are some of the most popular ones.

The sound of the bell at Gion-shoja Temple...there is a sound of impermanence...

This is a line that is often used in scenes where Sachi appears. It continues, "The sound of the bell at Gion-shoja Temple... echoes the impermanence of all things... the color of the Shal tree flowers... reveals the truth of the wickedness and the death of evildoers." Incidentally, this line is originally from the Tale of the Heike. When you hear this line, you know right away that it's Satchan! It's a cool and wonderful line, befitting an assassin.

If I can save someone by getting dirty, I will gladly give my hands blood on it

"There are some villains that only villains can eliminate. If I can save someone by getting dirty, I will gladly give my hands blood on it." That's just too cool, isn't it? This is what she says when she accepts a job as a hit man. Although Satchan gives off a strong impression as a comedic character, she is also capable of making decisive decisions when it matters, and that contrast is what makes her so appealing.

These wonderful glasses that reflect everyone's souls are right there in me

After breaking Sachi's glasses, Gintoki asked the Karakuri engineer Hiraga Gennai to repair them. After the repairs were completed, the glasses were more functional than ever, and not only did they improve his vision, but they also emitted beams and had many attack parts popping out like the Thousand-Armed Kannon. By putting on the glasses, he felt the feelings of Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura towards him, and said this.

How well do you know my weak spots!!

In the "Hostess Club Arc," Gintoki tells Sachi to become a hostess because there is a shortage of staff. Sachi was overjoyed when he coldly ordered her to do so.

The charm of Sarutobi Ayame 9: She's not good at traditional approaches...

Sachiko is stalking Gintoki. She is always treated rudely and finds pleasure in being left alone. Perhaps because of this, she is not good at traditional approaches to Gintoki, and there were times when she was unable to express her feelings directly and became flustered. She was flustered when she couldn't give him Valentine's chocolate, and (although it was just an act) she was embarrassed and helpless when Gintoki approached her. The contrast with her usual self is really cute.

Charm of Sarutobi Ayame 10. Voice actor is Kobayashi Yuu

Sachi's voice is beautiful and very cute. Her voice actor is Kobayashi Yuu. Kobayashi Yuu used to work as a model, but made her debut as a voice actress in 2004. She is a very popular voice actress! She has a distinctive husky voice. In addition to Sachiko, she has also appeared in "Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei" as Kimura Kaere and "Attack on Titan" as Sasha Braus.

Summary of Sarutobi Ayame's charms!

That's all about the charm of Satchan, also known as "Sarutobi Ayame"! Despite being beautiful, she's also a very masochistic girl, and she's also the strongest female ninja and assassin... Satchan is a very attractive character with a lot of different settings. It's also cute how she can't approach Gintoki in the normal way and gets flustered. With "Gintama" soon reaching its climax, we can look forward to seeing even more of Sachiko's exploits. I'm looking forward to seeing how things develop in the future!
