"Tears are tears, but I don't want to draw tears that aren't proactive. The feeling â€œAhh, it's so sadâ€ when people die and it's all over, it doesn't feel quite right. Even though a lot of people died in Gintama. Even if people die, it's not the end. I don't want to draw tears that fall and stay at the same place, but droplets that sprinkle along the road to one's future."
