yuuren said: Good episode! Really missing the Shinsengumi, though. Hope they at least show up in this arc. They just left 3 episodes ago...They better not show up until the next arc at the very least imo |

And both Gintoki and Zura was Zura. LOL |
 |
| You can tell Gintoki has been broken since the whole Utsuro thing even without them emphasizing that much on the characters' reactions after they found out about Utsuro's true identity. Gintoki is usually calm in mind and is determined as much. He is still determined and all, but there are those rare moments where all he can say are things like "I don't know what to do anymore". On the other hand, the thing that certainly makes him so strong is that he takes action as soon as he finds a good route to act, even if it wasn't the best. What keeps happening to him is burdening in a way you can hardly imagine, but he's still as consistent as ever. I know it is pretty old to address that about our protagonist, but well he is the kind of character you can barely do justice. Also I think that him saying "he (Utsuro) isn't Shoyo" to Katsura is also a remarkable clue as to how much Shoyo meant to Gintoki, and how much the latter trusts his later master even after all those shocking revelations, which pretty much goes with the context "no this Utsuro could never be the teacher I knew. He gotta be someone entirely different". Can't wait to see the true "relationship" between Shoyo and Utsuro. 5/5 |
| Good episode! I'm so fuckin ready for the greatness ~ |

| Decent episode. Something felt a bit off though, probably because it was a serious episode with not much action or comedy. I was looking forward to watching Kamui and Kankou fighting but I guess it might happen in the next one instead. |

Ginsukesan said: If you're talking about the "Take out in just 5 pages" commentMy only complain, the part where they beat Nobu nobu had a great line in the manga. It was probably the best meta joke I've ever seen, I had hoped that they would translate it here, at least to some degree. It actually does take them 13 seconds to beat and get Nobunobu as hostage XD I just counted. Looking through the manga and having just watched the episode makes me suuuper hyped at how 1:1 everything is ;U; And the closer we get to seeing the beautiful Yato trio the more excited I get. This is DEFINITELY one of my favorite arcs, after the Shinsengumi Crisis arc. And Kagura's line about her family ;u; She's gotta protect both of her families <333 Aaaaahh, everything about this just destroys me. I love gintama so much. The hype just keeps getting more and more real |

I feel like they could've used 5 pages in the anime as well, not only breaking fourth wall to refer to another medium, but also advertise for its manga. (thats the purpose of anime isn't it?) |

I was thinking they were gonna do it, and Shinpachi would've interrupted with something like "what do you even mean/how does that make sense/etc." |

ziggy_Z said: Bahaha, that would have been fantastic, honestly XDI was thinking they were gonna do it, and Shinpachi would've interrupted with something like "what do you even mean/how does that make sense/etc." Germs_N_Spices said: I guess they really did just end up going the translate-to-anime. It might have been just a little too awkward if they did that, however. Using the term cutscene or perhaps a mention to how long the episode has been "not even 1/6th of this episode" or something would have been neater.I feel like they could've used 5 pages in the anime as well, not only breaking fourth wall to refer to another medium, but also advertise for its manga. (thats the purpose of anime isn't it?) Ah well v3v It'll forever be something we manga readers will remember for always |

| I thought Takasugi went to the dark side because they killed his teacher...so there was another reason as well?? |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Oh god, Umibozou's lines, "It was my own balls that gave life to that monster. Then it's my duty, balls and all, to put an end to him." Takechi's "I'm not a lolicon. I'm a feminist." XD I love hearing Shinpachi screech out whenever he calls out anyone for their shit. He's the best straight man in Anime/manga history and Daisuke Sakaguchi's voice is just PERFECT for him. Tokugawa Nobunobu's hairstyle screams douchebag. It's cropped but also slicked to the sides with gel or something lol. |
| 臭い- |

| Nobunobu is such a bastard... Anyway, they are all ready to rescue Takasugi. Tense episode, but it still have hilarious moment, I love Gintama! I laughed so hard when I saw Katsura's picture xD I am looking forward to seeing Umibouzu fight. Zura had some beautiful sentences at the beginning. I missed him so much. |
| Decent progression I must say, looking forward to see what's next. |
 |
| Finally! We'll have the old gang back just like the old times!!!! Lol, despite being serious. There are still some funny moments :) |
| I always were a bigger fan of Gintama's jokes rather than the main plot but we'll see. |
 |
| Lol, the One Piece and lolicon jokes. Really appreciating that we're getting more focus on Kaguras fam. Old friends joined arms together and Nobunobu got his ass kicked again,can't get enough of that. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| RIP fake shogun teeth...again. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| Zura finally gets some good screen time again. |
| Good buildup and hype in this one! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Great buildup episode. Zura, Gintoki and Sakamoto are reunited, now we just need Takasugi to complete the Joui4. The part about Kagura reminiscing the past and the Yorozuya leave letters was pretty sad. Nobunobu is still a worthless piece of shit, lol they took him down so easily. Yay he got punched again, this time by Bansai. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| This is so epic! they reunite to destroy the harusame! |
 |
| LMAO they took down Nobunobu and his men that easily, well it doesn't really look fearsome. |
| Yeah, punch that Shogun again! I liked their “parting” with their leave letters, it’s touching. |
| All of them teamed up to defeat Utsuro, their long lasting enemy. Zura was as funny as always espically the scene where they had to mention the good and bad points of Shinsuke xD Kagura left on her own, she matured a lot. Seems like they'll be meeting each other in the next ep. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| I love Sakamoto, it was nice seeing him with Gin and Katsura. Hopefully they meet with Kagura soon cause Sadaharu looked so sad :( |
 |
| I don't understand why they just don't kill Nobunobu and be done with him. He may just be a puppet for the tendoshu that can easily be replaced but he is scum and they also have no reason to keep him alive. |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Gintoki, Katsura and Sakamoto all together entering Nobunobu's ship, that was epic, and easily defeated lol another well-deserved punch. Meanwhile the Takasugi situation is though with Umibouzu/Kamui issue so not surprising Kagura wants to help fix it and protect Kamui from being killed. |
 |
| Seems like all the yato will be involved this time, there has been a lot of focus on them for a while now. |
| Seems like Gin doesn't have to worry about paying his rent for thiseason........ |
| Really great build up , the trio really nails the episode and new Shogun being the addition for comedy works great too |
| 3 of the joi legends reunite lessgooo and wake me up when nobunobu stops taking Ls |
 |
| This ep was so good! |
 Your Lie In April was a banger! |
| Another amazing episode. Sadaharu rushing outside for Kagura was so sad. I really need Takasugi to wake up and fight alongside these 3, they already look badass. Nobunobu is just an insect at this point. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
