Very nice episode. Glad they're giving some better focus on Shinpachi with this arc. I'm still wondering how Obi-one will turn out in the end. Part of me really wants him to stay alive.

Gintoki showed why he's such a great Jump MC this episode

Sunrise did a good job adapting Gintoki's facade and struggle for Obi-One's humanity towards Otae and Shinpachi. He was willing to bear the burden of doing what needs to be done even if it means being hated by Shinpachi and Kagura. The beam saber battles were animated pretty darn good too, seems like Sunrise is going all in with this arc.

Damn it that xylophone soundtrack always gets me... I'll probably be trying hard to hold back manly tears next week

That was sooo good!!!

Gintoki WHY U SO BA!! How can he get even better than he is?!?! Truly a BOSS during this ep, and his grin while fighting was really AWESOME!!

Loved the scene when Gintoki destroyed the wall then stabbed Hajime in the bath. That was EPIC!

That fight was so well animated...man Sunrise knows their stuff :D


Shinpachi finally had a cool scene at the end.

And is it me or this was probably the first time I see Kondo fighting?

Can't wait for nxt ep...It should be epic! But it will be sad knowing it's the last T_T

Gin-san being the best protagonist as always. He is willing to beg on his knees(to the people he despise) and being hate for someone else sake.

Kondo should be serious more often, I also want to see him fight seriously for once.

Can we talk about how super caring Gin-san is because wow, begging on his knees to the Shinsengumi, THE Shinsengumi, the people that he's not fond of, to protect Shinpachi and Otae... just wow.. I was so touched. I kept forgetting how he handles things, made himself looked like a bad guy when he actually has a plan. I just... I'm speechless right now.

Sakata Gintoki will always be my favorite shonen protagonist.

Well, it is forgiven since Gintoki GAVE time for the brothers to talk and when he realized that Obi was planning to kill Shinpachi at that time, then he had to attack Obi and protect Shinpachi, it's one of the things Gintoki is unpredictable of.

Btw they didn't said anything in this episode, nor in the preview that the next one will be last, or did I missed it somewhere?

I'm worried if the anime will return after it ends this time. And calling the movie "finale" is not a good sign.

But where is my comedy gintama? Anime staff, you know I watch this as an anti-depressant %>_<%

on topic,
Decent episode, better than what I felt after reading the manga version.
Some parts are still, well... Gin-san on his knees made me puke.

Gosh Shinpachi is such a hypocrite. One of the reasons I don't like him for shit.

Kagura was cute, but only appeared very little.

Kyuubey and Kondo working together...not bad...but doesn't seem right...or cool.

And Gintama, always a good hearted guy. Shinpachi doesn't deserve him.

Don't worry, it's Gintama. They will always come back (I refuse to acknowledge it might end someday). I think the title of the movie is just trolling...

Anyway, this episode was awesome. Gintoki is so badass I can't even-
The fight scenes were awesome, Kyuubei and Kondo make quite a good combo. It's nice to see Kondo acting seriously from time to time too.
It would be nice to see some comedy episodes though, since the last arcs are more serious and full of feels. Too bad the last episode airs next week.

I think this arc is kind of confirming they are more like a family than love interests. Like how they mention gintoki as a brother or how only kondo and kyubei are mentioned as giving up their love to their rival but never for gintoki, really the whole idea that gin shinpachi kagura and otae are just a big family is a nice little touch. I think originally sorachi had her as a love interest but progressively moved away from that idea as the series went on.

May i also mention kondo and kyubei jumped in likability this arc, like kondo was already likable but he became even more so this arc and kyubei who i never cared for managed to surprise me this arc as well

I can see why this arc has gotten some hate. The pacing is too damn fast! But I still like it and regardless of what anyone else thinks, I like Shinpachi and it was really touching to see Gin-san do this much for him.

Edit: I will be sad when the season ends. But if that means a longer run when they come back in a year or so, the better. I did that pretty much anyway. Didn't even realize Gintama anime took a break for 6 months!
Looking forward to the movie!

Well, it's more around the internet, in Japan especially. I lurk the Korean part of the internet and I saw it on the Gintama fan forums and they, Japan in particular, has shown some really nasty reaction to this arc. But then again some of Japan's reactions are baffling. Like Ikkoku Keisei arc? There were some bashing going on about how it seems like Gintoki, Tsukuyo, and Shinsengumi are the only main characters now, as if that's how it's been for dozens of arcs instead of just one. But it's really just a reaction by fujoshi who really hate Tsukuyo. She actually got 2nd place in Female Characters that Female Fans Really Hate poll. Tsukuyo! One of the most grounded, nicest characters in the show. Seriously.

Are you sure that this hate your hearing is not just from dumbasses

Like take gametrialers.com for example, theres alot of hate there for just about everything, however that usuall happens just there for the 1-5 people to vent fustration. Its even worse at 2chan in particular where people are just as bad if not worse than people on 4chan

I don't know why so many people are disliking the scene of Gintoki begging for help. It was personally one of my favorite moments of him. Why? Because it shows that he has actual humility when it comes to asking for help. He can't do everything on his own, and the fact that he realized this and was willing to put his pride away to ask the Shinsengumi for help... Was just a very touching scene. It shows just how much he cares for Otae, Shinpachi, and Kagura. We all already know how awesome Gintoki is anyways.

Shinpachi has his annoying moments, but overall I've really enjoyed him this arc. He's always viewed as the weak link of the group, so it's nice to give him some awesome moments now and again.

I do wish this was a 4-episode arc because it is moving fairly fast, but I still think it's a good pace (not ideal, but still great in comparison to other anime arcs).

The arcs just keep getting better and better (and by that I mean they never lose quality over time, not since the Benizakura/Yoshiwara arcs).

Dem sexy animations! lol

Emotional scenes + Comedy + badass scenes + epic fight animatoins = Gintama

But who would ever thought that Gin would go down on his knees and beg!? Shows how serious this is, and how big of burden it was. Also explains how everyone is on Gin's side (or at least, angry that he has to beg)

It seems next week's ep is the last of Enchousen!? D=
