Too much useless talking, too many useless flashbacks. Should be more action. Still medicore animation with bad art. Pacing is too fast.

3/5

the worst season so far

Wow Zura can fight amazingly and i am starting to see him in another light. I thought he was just a goof off of the show.

LOL at Sakamoto trying to get praise from the other men hahaha.

This episode focused on Katsura and towards the end, on Sakamoto.

I love Mutsu, I have a huge crush on her character. She's probably my favorite Yato tribe member, I like her more than Kagura and Kamui.

Zaku became Gundam, omg I just can't.

OMG, Mutsu's one of my other favorite "straight man" characters in this series.

I didn't know Sakamoto injured his arm. First time knowing about this.

"Katsura janai, Zura da!"
It was so cool to see the origin of the Zura sentence *.*. And the fight was amazing. I was sure Katsura was strong, but not as much.

Amazing Zura!

Zura,you're the man and I loved your flashback. Fight was top notch and animation on point.

Next up Sakamoto,his opponent is definitely a tricky on.

Got infected with your stupidity xD

Hell yeah Zura was badass! I'm so glad the animation was good :)

Man Gintama always has the best flashback scenes, they feel so emotional. Like I would kill for a prequel series of them in school with Shouyou-sensei.



This fight with Zura was just epic. Our beloved goofball turned into a total BAMF!

Katsura's past was actually pretty sad, and I never knew that he practically raised himself, growing up with the philosophy that it doesn't matter how you survive as long as you do it. Seems legit, because what changes can you really make if you die and leave your soldiers without a leader?

Also, never thought I'd see the day when Katsura actually called himself Zura...can't believe there was actual meaning to that whole gag. It represented the weight of his leadership vs. his shared burdens with Takasugi and Gin ;_;

Finally got back on this after a year on hiatus.

Good to see Zura on the spotlight! Love the flashbacks!

I lol'd at the White Base and Zaku references from Gundam 0079 XD

Good stuff!

Zura's fight was epic! He could be such a badass when he let go of himself. Totally loved the flashbacks, the origin of the Zura gag was touching, the friendship between the three was so pure. But the best part was "KATSURA JA NAI, ZURA DA!".
Next we have another lovable idiot, Sakamoto.

Man, Zura is the goat. I don't know how he beat the monkey but he surely did it. He took off his ''general'' role and went beserk. The animation, OST and intense vibe it gave off was AMAZING. This made me love Zura even more! The little backstory between everything was emotional. They can't go back to the happy past anymore but fight for their lives.

Good fight between Katsura and Shokaku. Man to man.

Those Gundamn jokes. Yeah, he does look like a zaku. In the end he just played along. lmao

“Katsura ja nai, Zura da”!
This quote hit deeper than what i expected especially with the flashback.

It's nice to get more of Katsura's background during the fight, even though it's nothing impressive it was still pretty good and nice to see Katsura's win as expected.
And now it's Sakamoto's turn and looks like he's getting hacked by Gundam (xD)

I did not expect Katsura's fight to be so amazing but I loved this. The monkey was also better than I expected, giving up like that at the end. I'm glad he didn't go into some random rage just to prolong the battle. I did like Katsura but this definitely made me like him even more, his past was interesting and his serious face is badass.

The next episode looks interesting but Sakamoto wasn't part of that school so his past won't be as interesting, even if it's sad.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
