Poor Madao can never seem to catch a break. Lmao, at the muscle buster and Gin making fun of his pants on the train. Sakata's entrance was great too.

Great episode. Not that funny, but still great nonetheless.
Is it me, or does the prosecutor Haga look like Miles Edgeworth with longer hair?

I love Madao, and his exit off the train was hilarious.

Gintama continues to be creative, funny and awesome.
And that was some epic way of messing things up.

Gintoki at the end looks similar to someone, I can't tell who.

Whoa, seems like a gintama-arc with a good, reasonable story!
Much better than the "robot-head"-arc -.-

Whoa, the beginning was awesome, I've always been curious how does the work on anime look like :O

Aww, only bad things happen to Madao.
Also - Gintoki looks funny in a suit XD

Yeah, I'm also wondering. Can't put my finger on it though.

I barely knew about the Kinniku Buster because I watched Kinnikuman Nisei long, long, long, long time ago I barely remember those days.

Gin looks good with that style haha.
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant.

Any episode revolving around Hasegawa-san is an instant win! (He's like the Hans Moleman or Moe Szyslak of the Gintama series lol)

What a tragic character to put in what's ostensibly a comedy anime! He just cant catch a break that poor guy... Oh well, at least Gintoki's got his back :3

Fuck. Yeah. I always loved everything related to trial, I'm really hyped for that next episode!!

I hope they parody Phoenix Wright xD

That Kinniku Buster thing was hilarious :P

Poor Madao, always such a loser, I hope in the end he'll find happiness :)

First we see them invisible and now Line Photography and then simple sketch. This is insane. XD
Poor Madao, his wife leaving him and then hooking up with another man.
ROFL his luck is poor as hell.
Gintoki and the others have become such a good friend of Madao. :D
When Gintoki said he'll bring a rope not for Madao to suicide but to pull him up from the depths of hell. Gintoki, why are you so perfect? :')
That heidi is sooo annoying.
Gintoki looks so cool with those glasses! Awesome!

Poor Madao, indeed... this episode was lowkey depressing af, especially every time Hasegawa asked Gintoki if he brought a rope. >_>

I expect the next episode to be an Ace Attorney parody.

I have no idea what Heidi is but from what it said about it on Crunchyroll it sounded super messed up lol.

Gin at the end was so hot <3

The funny move, I can't believe Hasegawa did all that and accidentally turned that girl like that, never read that manga or seen anime it was from.

This episode encapsulated everything that is uniquely Gintama: Meta-humour about production issues, hilarious physical gag (kinniku buster), parody of a classic anime series, unexpected feels and finally some straight-up inspirational lines by Gintoki. Also, he looks seriously cool as a lawyer!
