He was found on a battlefield, nothing is known of his life before he ended up on the battlefield Shouyo-sensei found him on. It'll be an interesting shout-out to both {{Superman}} and Manga/DragonBall, and would explain his extreme strength. Maybe he was different (tolerating sunlight), so his parents sent him to earth in hope of living happily. His hair bleached and curled due to the change in climate, but othervice he ended up okay.

The priesthood will be mercilessly mocked, but the individual believers will be shown in a very sympathetic light. It ends on a gag of one or more or the cast becoming/replacing a saint, Christ, or even the Virgin Mary.

* Most likely completely jossed, [[spoiler: since the final arc takes place in Planet Rakuyou: Harusame's base of operations, Kagura's home, and Takasugi's hideout]].

** Considering the real backstory of his fight with his father, there is a high chance of this happening in the later chapters. Although we might see a bit of subversion in that [[spoiler: Kamui will die saving Umibozu instead]].

He indentified Kagura really quickly, hides well from the sun and is insanely strong. With all this talk about this Russian guy who is going to be transplanted onto another body and in much popular culture is it near impossible that Sorachi-sensei hasn't noticed. So what if... I hate to say this... he's a yato with Shouyo-sensei's head transplanted onto him..! sounds weird yes, but it is a possibility.

It's a known fact that Gintama was based on the Edo period and the current arc (Farewell, Shinsengumi) is based on the Boshin War which was a war to topple the corrupt Tokugawa Shogunate and restore power back to the Emperor. The Boshin War ended with Yoshinobu's (who Nobu Nobu was based on) surrender and also led to the renegotiation of unfair treaties with the foreigners (or aliens). Gintama pretty much have the same problems with the threatening Amantos with their unfair treaties and how they corrupt the Bakufu so ending it the same way it did with its historical counterpart would make sense.

\n[[WMG: Utsuro is Yoshida Shouyo]]
* or at least related to him.
* This is the first thought of many fans after his initial appearance. Mostly because of the hair. There's not many evidence to support this theory though. So far, beside his hair, the only evidence point to this is Gin's shocked expression upon seeing him (this could also be because of the cannon), his badassery and the fact that his BattleAura was so powerful that it instilled fear upon Okita (Shouyo did something similar to the bullies who was bullying his students).

[[WMG: Shinsengumi parallels with Shoyo's student]]
* Shoyo is represented by both Matsudaira and and Kondo, being the respected figure taken away by authority. Katsura is as weird as Kondou.
* Contrary to what most people thinking, Okita is actually representing Gintoki, because he is actually admired him, just like Kagura.
* Meanwhile, Hijikata - who had so much parallel with Gintoki - would actually representing Takasugi. This is because Takasugi and Gin is actually very similar, like two sides of coin. Hijikata and Gin relationship had the same vibe.
* This WMG makes a guess that if Kondou were executed, it's Hijikata who would actually pull a Face-Heel Turn, instead of Okita

...but not because of a fight, he died protecting Kagura instead.
* I just realized Sorachi plays the trope of good father, evil brother and good sister twice now, in Benizakura arc and [[spoiler: Shinigami arc.]] At the end of both arc, both evil brother pull a HeelFaceTurn and dying saving their sister. Umibozu, Kamui and Kagura fits the role. Plus that [[spoiler: during flashback in Shinigami arc, Asaemon protected her brother after he killed the prisoners by standing between him and her father. This is very similar with Kagura stopping Umibozu's fight with Kamui.]]

[[WMG: WMG about Saitou from Shinsengumi]]
* He is actually a Renho. Thus explains his difficulty to talk and preferrence of writing method. Actually, all he had to do is to use a signboard. Renho can use both their hands to swap the board and writing quickly. Saitou just prefers to use swords instead.

* Alternatively, he is a Yato. Just look at his clothing, he covered all his body minus his head. His bright hair color is similar to other Yato. His afro hair is to protect him from the sun above.

* Another alternative : he's half yato AND renho.

[[WMG: During his life, Yoshida Shouyou was a troll]]
* Just look at his students. Even Takasugi is a bit silly in the flashback during the war. Plus, this is Gintama, everyone is bound to be a bit silly. He's probably acted like Katsura and Gintoki in the prison, criticizing fashion sense before he was executed.
* Alternatively, his personality is like Katsura. Their appearance looked similar after all.

[[WMG: Gintoki and Oboro are related]]
I'd bet on brothers, as they look around the same age. Basing this mostly on their similar looks and combat ability: they both have white hair, (though Oboro's seems more wavy compared to Gintoki's curly), and they seem to have similar tactics, like using pieces of their broken weapons to attack the enemy. Both of them have also recovered from wounds that really should have killed them, too...
