| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So we get to know more about Ikumatsu’s dad and why he ended up having another family. It seems like he lost his memories while saving a drowning kid and forgot about his old family. And the drowning kid happens to be Ikumatsu’s husband. Seems like the cardboard gang is attacking Ikumatsu, lol. And Ikumatsu’s actual father is actually the Lawd himself. LMAO at Katsura and Gin using the old man and Madao as a weapon. Ikumatsu and her father finally got to reunite. Lol, If Katsura got a crew cut, that would be hilarious. Anyways, this was a really good episode and definitely more serious than the previous episode. Make sure to watch the after ED scene, which starts the Madao one-shot. Next episode will adapt the rest of the Sniper/Madao one-shot and the Mimawarigumi/Shinsengumi one-shot Also, the OP really grew on me. It's actually pretty catchy. The ED, however, is still meh. 5/5 |

| Just leave it to Gintama to give you a good bucket of feels to making you burst your ass laughing at the same damn time. This was quite the sad arc, I dont remember reading this in the manga so the feels caught me harder. This was quite the tragic story, kinda like one of those trendy FB videos that makes you cry. |
  |
| So it was really him after all. He has been around for so long too. Lol at Zura using the old man as a weapon; Hasegawa was expected. Overall this was a very nice arc, both in terms of laughs and feels. |
| the good old gintama, making you laugh the first half (rip madao) and the feels in the second half :'( |
| The Lawd being Ikumatsu's dad was expected, but the rest wasn't quite so. Regardless, this was pretty good ep, as usual, 10/10. That ending tho, next ep will be so fucking good. Looking forward to it. |
| He lost his memories when he saved a kid from drowning. That kid later married his daughter, he found the old man and brought him to the ramen shop every New Year's to eat with his daughter like he used to do when they were poor, and even though he had lost his memories he still remembered to divide his dish for everyone...Shit, stop trying to make me cry Gintama... Next episode finally Nobume-chan 😍😍 |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Gintama only take you to feel train in just 2 episode. The feel are strong as ever man and comedy too XD  does he somehow still remember Ikumatsu? who know Madao meet another sunglass never a good thing. |

| This episode was just beautiful. The feels man. Poor Madao though, and I loved the last two minutes haha. |
 |
| Next week: two of my favorite chapters in one episode Heaven!! |
| Such a beautiful episode! Gintama at its very best. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| A really serious episode with a lot of feels for good measure. I'm happy Ikumatsu got to reunite with her dad in the end (it wasn't surprising that he survived but it was still touching). Right after all of those feels we get a post-ED scene featuring hilarious banter between Madao and a sunglasses sniper. More Madao next episode, plus the Shinsen/Mimawarigumi......should be really funny. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Beautiful episode, so emotional. I kept tearing up. T.T The story was both really tragic and yet really heartwarming. Ikumatsu's father lost his memories in trying to save a drowning kid, ended up marrying another woman and eventually became memory impaired and senile. Meanwhile the kid he saved grew up and married Ikumatsu and eventually found the father and invited him for ramen every New Year's eve. Through all those years the father still remembered to divide his food. T.T The entire story from the flashback was incredibly moving especially the scenes where the husband thanks the father for saving him and the parts showing Ikumatsu also knowing that the old man who visited was actually her father. The reunion at the end was really heartwarming. Leave it to Gintama to make me feel so emotional in 2 episodes. Gin-san and Katsura using Madao and the father as a weapon was hilarious. XD The post credit scene was epic. xDD I personally loved the shot with our main characters walking away in the snowy night. |
 |
| genuinely really heartwarming but also made sure its few jokes all struck effectively. More so than ever I am so upset that this series never made ikumatsu a recurring character, shes fits in so well with the characters and her and katsura's relationship is really cute. Its nice that she basically had some closure before the series wraps up for good. These past 2 episodes were so much stronger than the kind of weak first 2 episodes with the boyfriend arc. Also thank god the animation is so much better than the past few seasons, i pray silver soul stays this way cause while not totally in your face the movement in this episode was way above the past couple seasons especially when gin and katsura were flinging the dad and hasegawa around. |

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 |
| ok that was sentimental... never knew he was the father...even the little characters of the show have so much depth behind this show |
 |
| A really heartwarming story. He didn't abandon them, he forgot everything because he saved a kid, and that kid grew up and became Ikumatsu's husband, amazing! |
 |
| I'm more interested in the post-credits part than anything else lol Next week should hopefully be fun |

JizzyHitler said: I wonder for Silver Soul if there going to take the SA approach(having some amazing looking episodes...but some have to be heavily sacrificed) or FS/RDB approach(spreading the production time on the episodes) Either way I think Silver Soul has to be 2 cour(straight) and it's a Comedy and Serious arc...so we'll see how they'll do in the futuregenuinely really heartwarming but also made sure its few jokes all struck effectively.

| Sup... |
| I CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S IKUMATSU'S DAD. Plot twist much. And the kid he saved was her husband :o Also, I don't think any other anime has the ability to yo-yo my feelings so much in an episode. There I was crying at Ikumatsu's reunion with her dad, and then I'm laughing my ass off at a hitman telling a suicidal Madao how precious life is whilst he's about to snipe a guy down. This arc made me want Katsura x Ikumatsu even more, but at the same time I love how they did the opposite with it. Like, it would've been so easy for the romantic aspect to take up the arc, and for Katsura to save her and sweep her off her feet. But her dad saved her just like he saved her husband. So sweet. Totally happy about having a Madao + Shinsengumi episode next week! It's been such a long time!!! |

| Feelstama at its best. |
| Great episode, feels got me a bit. |

THIS! ⬆️ Also, this episode reminded me why I love Gintama 😊 Can't wait to see the Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi in next episode |
| Oh man, the feels ;_; |
THANKS SENPIEX  |
| Decent episode with some decent feels. The post credit scene was gold! |
 |
| How can an episode be natrually hilarious and emotional at the same time?! Gorilla-sensei you always play with my emotion! |
   smell of coffee songs of sleep  |
| Bawled my eyes out |
| I was...somewhat disappointed in this episode. I enjoyed half of the episode because it was very emotional and impactful, but when they revealed who the father was, it was somewhat...meh? It felt to me like the author just picked out a side side character with no backstory and decided to create something deep about them anyway. I shouldn't have expected anything much out of an anime like Gintama since it is a comedy show to begin with and not just a feels-good anime. The poignant backstory + an eccentric hobo in diapers didn't do the overall story justice for me. |
 |
| I was half expecting already who the dad is but the way it was slowly revealed and presented still made it pretty emotional to me. My tears just came bursting out after this... 5/5 |
| I missed this kind of episode. Gintama is still great sometimes. |
| Hmm such a bittersweet episode :( Hilarous and heart wrenching at the same time Love that Ikumatsu's husband even though didn't know his name nor seeing his face Such a cool guy tho That ed tho, Madao wants to commit suicide just WOW haha SHADES,LIFE N DEATH XD Easily 5/5 |

But him being the father was already expected, it's expected from Gintama that EVERY character has a role. And it's better than adding a new character. |

| Gintama: The anime that might even make you cry by giving a backstory to a random retarded homeless guy who's been around since the beginning of the series, and seemed like some random side character who's only there for the gags. And in the meantime, among the tears, it makes you laugh your ass off. Obviously there are so many other stories in Gintama which are way better than this one, but it still amazes me after so many episodes how well-written stories they provide to the fans. And yeah, I'm also aware of the fact that it's nothing new, this has already been shown in the manga, but still really nice. At the end I the irony killed me. "don't waste your life away by killing yourself, life is very precious" *sets up sniper stand*. I'm in love with this show!!! |
| damn the feels man |
 |
| I loved it. I can't find any more words to say. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| This was one of the arcs I wanted to get animated the most, so I'm really happy it did. I'm a fan of Katsura x Ikumatsu, so I hope we get a few hints that they ended up together before the manga comes to an end. Can't wait for next episode too. I'm glad they're making some room for Hasegawa's chapters among all the longer arcs they're animating! |

Idk, it just felt more "off" to me than usual. Seeing a really minor character who barely showed up in the anime getting a deep backstory all of a sudden was strange. |

| LOL, This is what gintama is. The character's background/story makes you sad yet funny at the same time, also this anime brings Plot Twist~ This is why I loving it! (I'm so fking done, lol) 5/5 Brings Feel Train, also funny af. 5/5 Next episode... M A D A O. |

I see, but it's the same with Ikumatsu too. Even the old guy had more screen time than her. |

| Freaking musashi man, my opinion of him changed so hard my tears burst. |
| Gintama is the epitome of perfection x'D I already knew how it ended but I still burst out crying at the end. Gosh, I swear this thing is just... Perfect ;U; can't wait for the next episodes! |

Romandy said: Fricking hell. I cried a bit in class while watching this. I should really start watching Gintama from season 1. You should! It's even more impactful when you've watched the previous seasons. |
