| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Great conclusion to the arc. Elizabeth and Sadaharu were awesome... Even the worst Gintama ED can work as an OP... Loved the special ED. Though the longer version of the song sounds alittle unnatural (which I picked up from the 40s preview anyway)... And also loved the sengoku basara reference... |
| Holy crap, there so much lolz and win here today. -Perhaps the best joke was the one referencing Sengoku Basara. I wasn't 100% sure if they would bring up the fact that Hijikata's voice actor is same as Murasame but then I realized "This is Gintama. Of course they would." I wish they had said "PUT YOUR GUNS ON!" (Speaking of which, why hasn't there been a joke referencing that he's also Zoro's voice actor?) -When they said the show would end in March, I was like "NOOOOOOOOOO!" -Otae was making a lot of Light Yagami faces today. Almost every scene she was in, I thought she would go "JUST AS PLANNED!" -Please stop making us look at Kondo's junk....please Sunrise.... -"What's with the psuedo-Human Instrumentality project. Ikari may approve of it but I won't." Is there anything this show won't acknowledge? -Golgo Elizabeth and Sadaharu no Ken moment was win. -How the hell does Justaway rank higher than Sat-chan or Tama!? |

| This episode was made of epicness, I haven't laughed that hard for weeks... |
| Hilarious episode, now to discuss. Nice end to the arc but I personally don't like screen-time focused on Shinpachi, It's been happening too much lately. I don't dislike him I Just find myself bored when he's on the screen for more than 3 seconds. I enjoy his 2 second puns but other than that, eh, spare me. Haven't seen Sengoku Basara but I knew the parody of It when Katsura brought It up, thanks to some I know who have seen the show, made me laugh still. The Sadistic Sougo boxers cracked me up, cute fit. Next week doesn't look special but still look forward to It. Screen caps of the high lights of this episode if some are interested: |
     |
| The ending was hilarious^^ Poor Shinpachi and Yamazaki^^ |
| this ep cracked me up XD dragging underware poor kagura hijikata and katsura's temporary truce XD the best though was badass sadaharu and elizabeth |
| bibi bubu baba |
| my favorite arc now. |
| Epic. Sadaharu and Elizabeth were just great. Kondo 'Do me',... omfg. |
| BLOWFISH! |
| I was hoping that there would be more to the conclusion of the arc, but nevertheless I wasn't expecting Yamazaki to be behind everything. This arc is definitely one of my favourites now. |
| The arc finally concludes... Best parts: The underwear part where they were speaking Engrish XD Kondo stripping and laying on the ground XD Badass mascots (Elizabeth and Sadaharu) XD Anyway, one of the funniest arcs of Gintama next to the Otsu Tournament for me :D |
| This is a signature. |
| "LET'S PARTY!" |
| |
| Great ending to a quality arc. XD |
 |
| this was a great episode. i actually had to pause it a few times b/c i was laughing so hard, i was crying!! |
 |
| lol~ only Gintama can pull out a 3 episode arc regarding popularity rankings |
      |
| Oh no... all the girls dancing in unison was just too moe and retarded for words. Seeing such "serious" girls dance so bad has its own awesomeness. Kybei and Tsukki definitely stole the show for a large portion of the series. Lots of egao in this episode. This arc is a pretty smart way to get different characters to fight each other that wouldn't otherwise fight each other. Ending was classic Gintama fashion :) After 150+ episodes, you start to get used to when the gags are going to happen. Like when its serious for too long, you just know some sht is about to go down. But still, there are somethings that catch you off guard like the Perfume dance. |
  "What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us. |
| It's funny how in this episode they mentioned the series could end in March as a joke. Little did we know it really would end in March. They were teasing us all the way through. |

| I wonder how many people noticed that Gintoki had a rank of 201 after his rank fell down. Now check how many episodes Gintama has XD |
Apparantly Kimi to Boku will always be my last-anime-watched, until you check my profile :3~     |
| I liked the arc. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Haha loved this arc, just maybe my favorite! The dance was awkward XD The Engrish part was great and wow Date Masamura "LETS PARTY!!!" hilarious! Sadaharu and Elizabeth was just WIN Hah i thought it must Yamazaki ^_^ Great arc :))))) |
| I just knew they would bring up Hijikata in the Sengoku Basara joke eventually... Perfect arc.. Perfect episode, Gintama is so much win! |
| What a genius ending for the arc. Everything is just epic hilarious! |
| Anyone notice how both Zura and Hijikata managed to place twice in the poll, if you look at the ED? As Zurako and Mayo-13 respectively. |
| I actually enjoyed the screentime with Shinpachi, since he's usually always "dirt". Can't wait till they do the 2 years later arc LOL |
| lol disregard the 3, i was a little tired and clicked the wrong thing XD this arc was full of greatness and i lol'd so hard, definitely deserves a 5! |
| Ah, funny funny ^-^ |
| Hoping for more Tsukuyo. Have a feeling she wont appear for a while after being in two arcs in a row. Great end to a great arc. |
| OMFG SADAHARU AND ELIZABETH FTMFW!!!! |

| Good arc. Lot's of great comedy. Sudaharu and Elizabeth once again stole the show, though. Love how Shinpachi tries his best to ignore them. |

| The funniest arc of the show! Whoever thought of exploiting the popularity polls and turning it into a 3-ep arc is a genius! This arc could have gone 5 or 6 eps and I wouldn't care! I don't know who those groups they were ripping off but their dance routine was hilarious. Edit: I would have voted for Hasegawa Madao...He actually reminds me of myself before, without the shades, cigarettes and younger...way,way younger... |

| What a conclusion! I even got tricked up til the last second hahahaha!!! Awesome arc! Though I did wish that Kamui and Takasugi would appear! XD Even though it's a funny arc, is it just me, or is that some thing deeper issue at hand, which is why do rankings exist? |
 |
| I knew he faked it from the beging but it was too funny to watch. I couldn't stop laughing at the end because i knew they'd steal their #1 rank LOOOOOOOOOOL. Funny arc, even if it was pointless I liked it. |
 |
| Now one of my favorite arcs |
| Awesome episode, Elizabeth and Sadaharu being badasses xD |
 |
| Lol Women vs Men "Let's Party!!" Dat seiyuu joke xD Lol @ Elizabeth & Sadaharu ossan R.I.P. Yamazaki & Shinpachi... Both of your tsukkomi(s) will be the most unforgottable things in Gintama..... Wait, he's alive in the preview xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| How the fuck did they derive a plot from mere popularity ratings. |
 |
Lang said: wow i didn't know that was the actual dance LOL this arc was great it was supposed to be a touching moment at the end for yamazaki and shinpachi but i laughed hard when they just through them off. i didnt expect it |
[right] |
| Wow, that was the best non-serious arc ever. It was great from start to finish. The ending was pretty mean LOL but it was expected of Gintama. Qatami said: EXACTLY. It was brilliant.How the fuck did they derive a plot from mere popularity ratings. Jimmy chars are love, jimmy chars are life. |
 |
| hahah this episode is very funny! I didn't expect that Yamazaki was the one who started it all. They really are creative and innovative to pull this arc out of that popularity poll |
 |
 I really want an electro on dance gif |
 |
| Of course, it was way too cheesy to end with both Shinpachi and Yamazaki winning xD That was great. I never saw coming Yamazaki being the mastermind behind this :O But weirdly make sense... Also, Diamond Perfume FTW!!! |

| This was probably the most creative idea for an arc I've ever seen in an anime, and it surprisingly worked. I still think it could've been better. I was thinking that Yamazaki and Shinpachi winning was too cheesy, but then the characters go and throw them off the building. |
