Great new opening, though I liked the first one more. Lmao only Gintama is able to make a hot pot eating scene into a 20 minute episode. Funny episode.

Honestly, I wouldnt have minded if they kept talking about random stuff like Jackie Chan with just 1 scene lol.
Love how they tackled the "recap" trope in such a funny way though ^^
Was definitely feeling the "Death Note"vibe and my suspicions were answered at the end!

Probably my favourite episode so far.

One of the best comedy episodes of Gintama, hands down.

So it was a 'Death Note' reference, so hilarious. And Ryuk appearing at the end OMG!

I missed the first OP, the new one feels nostalgic.

Didn't thought that this would turn out this. Pretty intense episode. Though it was based on a silly thing but That was just cool. All the characters were very cold (Just not Sadaharu). It was so analytic and intense that it reminded me of Death Note! It was like some L's and Light's are sitting here and fighting for outsmarting each other. I liked the pork thing that Shinpachi and Gin did. Such an unthinkable move. However still Kagura wins (the Shinigami here).

Yeah, I even thought the same here. And I also think that Gin was L and Shinpachi was Light. Though it was very cool.

Alright, I gotta say that this and episode 20 are definitely my favorite episodes so far, both of them are just so goddam funny to me!

I thought that this episode would just be here purely for recaping the previous events that happened in the past episodes, but man I was really wrong.

Instead, we got a full on Death Note like episode, but instead of a potato chip, it's beef; and I honestly couldn't stop laughing at the expressions that the characters made, such as this one that Shinpachi made
it was just completely unexpected to me

And I also couldn't stop laughing at the part where Gintoki realized that Kagura purposefully sneezed on the hot pot, and the face that she made just made it 100x funnier as well. I also couldn't stop laughing at the part when she was devastated that she ate pork instead of beef, that part was completely unexpected to me

But the part with Otose and Catherine was also completely unexpected to me as well, but in the end, Kagura managed to get the hotpot with beef, but in reality, she preferred pork instead haha

There were many plot twists in this episode and I absolutely had a great laugh out of the episode, and I'm definitely excited to see what's next!

You thought it was a recap episode but IT WAS ME, A NABE SHOWDOWN!

This has to be one of the funniest episodes so far. I never thought I'd see Kagura making an evil and smug face lmaooo. I guess brutal fighting over nabe is a trope in animeXD

Loved the Death note reference with Ryuk!

Damn.

That cold opening is already a masterpiece on his own merit, and then the real episode starts. I watched it two days in a row because of how cool it is. And if all those mind games and tricks weren't already unbelievable, when Nabeleon appeared on screen with his name yelled, i spat a lung out from laughing. Ryuk sort of reprising his final quote from the second episode of Death Note was a perfect ending. No, wait, there's still yet another still picture with some voice over to save money. "whatever, they have already changed the channel by now"

Instead of Recap, they started fighting for beef!!
We have new opening and new ending with great visuals and more serious vibes in then. That 1 minutes 50 seconds conversation at starting was really funny.
When katsura entered the house, after that it was strategic Battlefield & Chao everywhere. Loved the episode & as always all food was eaten by non other than are little kagura!!
Elizabeth showing the board with sound effects written on then was hilarious!!
5/5 Episode!! I'm loving the show soo far!!

btw Ryuk was on the roof of the house in that last scene of episode before the ending song!!

First I thought this would be a really good episode, but then it was just the usual "women win, men lose" plot. I agree with Kagura though, pork > beef. Also the new opening is not as good as the old one.

Aside from making me very hungry, I liked this episode. The Naruto reference was great and the Death Note atmosphere made this even funnier, lol. Kagura definitely won this.

Gintama's half-year celebration turns into a chaotic battle for meat as the Odd Jobs trio tries to outsmart each other during a sukiyaki meal, leading to spilled pots, arguments, and a new challenger joining the fray. 4/5
