| Pakuyasa lol. The real star lol OMFG TAKASUGI AHHHH😍 EVERYONE GATHERED YAY Lol at the end |
| This Episode had such a bad-ass ending, why would you go ahead and ruin it. I may not even be in the next episode, does that mean anything to you!? XD Gintama is such a great series! It is one of the only anime that has ever kind of went outside of my anime preference zone. :3 But I am also trying to expand on newer types of anime and such. :) Gintoki is so awesome! :D |

This arc is so tense (and the joui reunited too) that I thought it was the finale and with the way things are going in the manga, it's shaping up to be the greatest Gintama arc of all time. Being amazing from the very start to (hopefully) the very end. |

| This episode was specially bad at combining serious with comedy. It felt like there was an actual physical separation between the dramatic and the funny Gintama, leave the first five minutes and the last three for the jokes, and don't let it touch the rest of the episode. Did I say jokes, by the way? Scratch that, actually. Joke. The same over and over. The ending bit was just bland. You would think that repeating thrice the joke would lead to some distinct reaction, or a punch, or a twist... it didn't. It was just that. The same thing being repeated three times. Seriously wtf is this laziness in my Gintama. The sad thing is, it's been done before, and better in the show. The drama would be ok if it wasn't so reliant on making me feel for a character the show has never cared for. I mean, Bansai surely is an interesting guy but I need something more to feel through his sacrifice, let alone evoke the deep emotions of attachment this episode tries to bring. And the oversaturation of (over)long speeches thing that has been quite an issue in this arc doesn't help. This episode created an iconic image, no doubt about it. For that, I can respect its achievement. But the way through the episode to get this was, for me, unsatisfying on almost every level. I didn't like this, at all. Actually my least favorite from an arc and season I'm not too big on yet. |

Sorry to burst your bubble, but your hate attemtps are still bad af and noone gonna believe it. Save your time and space in this section and go back to OP. You are very welcome over there.. in the section of repetitive and average shounen. |

Says it has flaws but scores it a "masterpiece". The other joke is commenting on filler episodes and trying to tell he isn't a fanboy, by pointing out the negative aspects of OP. haha Yeah, filler and the shit ANIME does so counte. /facepalm |

Don't dare call me a fanboy. And I don't comment all my issues with the show in this forum, like the various problems I've had with Zoro and Luffy in the post-TS scenario, which at some points have been serious, and I've been quite alone with them. Not to mention that I'm rating the two top fan favorite movies of the show significantly lower than most fans. And as far as I'm concerned, anime and fillers are part of One Piece. Your point would also be more grounded if I hadn't started reading the manga somewhere mid 2013, so I didn't know what was filler and what was not during most of these comments you disregard, and I didn't give a fuck if they were at the time. If your only argument here are ratings, I would probably rank Gintama at the same overall spot as One Piece, if not higher, and that's why I've given four fucking 10s to the franchise (three for One Piece, by the way). And there are things it does consistantly better. Drama just happens to not be one of them. |

| Best episode this season yet! |
| I am better than you. |
| Oh my God!! This was a one of the best episodes, i cann´t stopped to laugh!!! White Chubby? What? kekeke And the last scene when the friends stay together in the middle of the battle camp, ends and after we can watched a Gintoki complaining for damage the final, this great final with a stupids sequences of the White Chubby!!!! kekeke Gintame forever!!!! |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Gin-san's bokuto can actually pierce flesh. That's rather surprising. Pakuyasa is a new favorite, of course. I'm sure he has a good place in Gin-san's heart. Oh, Takasugi's alive. Bet the fangirls are screaming now. I'm glad Katsura is still alive or does he go by Zura now? I doubt it lol and Sakamoto is also fine. One of the best episodes in this season so far. I'm glad to see the old Jouishishi together. Pakuyasa at the end made my day. I guess it will be Pakutama from now on. |
| 臭い- |
| All hail Pakuyasa. |

| Lol when watching the opening, I was like "what? Pakuyasa has always been there?". The fights were not as impressive than in the previous arc, but I liked them. Great reunion :) Pakuyasa is the true samurai! |
| Based Pakuyasa's probably the one who did all the work and Gintoki is just leeching off his glory. That strawberry milk loving bum. |
 |
| what an amazing episode.. Gintama truly is a masterpiece. |
 |
| Another very intense and action packed episode I must say! Looking forward to see what's next! |
 |
| Pakuyasa lol this episode was epic. That was some badass reunion. |
 |
| Compared to the other two fights,Gintoki vs Batou was easily the weakest fight,but still nice. Bansais fighting spirit really impressed me,glad that every character get his chance to shine. The squad is complete,what a reunion,just epic. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Oh wow the four disciples finally reunited, Shouyou is probably smiling in heaven. Or at least the Shouyou part of Shouyou not Shouyou that isn't Shouyou but Shouyou the alien instead of Shouyou the temple teacher. So Shouyou Shouyou and Shouyou not Shouyou. Shourry not Shouyou. Pfew lads, I hate this plot twist. |
 |
| Damn, so it was Pakuyasa all along. |
| "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." |
| 2nd part made me forget the 1st one. |
| Whewwww the quartet finally get to fight together!! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Love it, the four Joi Rebels are back together! |
 |
| Gintoki's fight wasn't as good as the other two but the conversation after that was great. Liked Bansai's fight, he's pretty strong. Kamui is back and he saved Takasugi. Finally the Joui 4 are back together! |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| The Joi 4 are reunited, this is so awesome!!! |
 |
| OMG Pakuyasa is real LOL At that much awaited Joi4 reunion, the hype is giving me chills |
| YES! Those 4 are gonna wreak tons o' havoc! |
| Shit, squealed at that reunion |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| another great episode Takasugi's awake and they've returned as a team as they used to  5/5 Edit: that after-credits though lol  |
| Yay, the four are reunited! The after-credits was funny though. |
| Let’s gooo, the reunion we all have been waiting for! The gin fight was forgetful, idk how he was able to become a commander. Anyways the after credits were funny. |
  |
| Hypeeeeee when Takasugi theme played. The next battle will be legendary. Pakuyasa scenes were hilarious. They even included him in OP and ED lol |
| This episode missed the chance of being one of the best yet, had they not messed on the animation quality... Which had some pretty ugly scenes and lack of fluidity. This is the only thing that stops this episode from being a 5 to me... |
 |
| When Gin was thinking of tomorrow and saw Kagura and Shinpachi <3333 The Joi 4 are back together, it was a really cool moment when Takasugi rose |
 |
| Pakuriyahsa moment. That end was very badass, the joi 4 finally got back together! |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Well of course you can't surpass Gintoki like that, he's too strong at this point, though the real hero of the episode is Pakuyasa (xD) especially him stealing all the important scenes at the end. And sure Takasugi just can't die like that, and seeing him fighting with Gintoki against the Harusame was definitely epic!! |
