"That jerk! He forgets me just after three or four episodes!"
"Well, I think most would."

😂How has this guy not be fired? He already tries to kill him on a daily basis!🤨🤣

This episode really gave way to Gintoki's bushido. I like the fact when he fought against Hijikata Tashiro, he kept his motive ambiguous while garnering the respect of his opponent. For the time it was made id say that this episode was done quite well for the type of anime Gintama is atm.

I still don’t understand why people say this anime is a slow burner. It has been fantastic since episode 1!

Great episode once again :) Hijikata and Gintoki are badass! Gintoki is also so different from other shounen protagonists. And all his serious lines make sense!

Alright, I gotta say that I really enjoyed this episode as always. I like how Gintama can shift from a really comedic tone to a very serious tone, and I really like that.

I really enjoyed learning about why the Shinsengumi that are working under Kondo find him to be very important as well, and of course, I really liked the interaction between Gintoki and Hijikata in this episode as well; definitely excited to see what's next!

Gintoki working for that old guy with baldness because he lost the dumb version of rock paper scissor xD the Shinsengumi dudes wanted to catch him after his previous fight and he ended up fighting against Hijikata but kinda spared him with breaking his katana, that was pretty good, Gintoki has a lot of potential for sure I really like him

Marvelous Episode, easily the best episode so far for me!! 5/5!!
First of all, all the funny jokes & scene landed perfectly for me and that RPS game was just hilarious. Baldy word was used too much in this episode. And shinsengumi tried to catch silver haired samurai, but they all got at wrong place everytime.
Fight scene at the end was amazing and Gintoki is not someone you want make angry because he's stronger then you think!!

Seems like Gin has the same attitude as alot of other typical heroes, not to really fight back if someone tries to kill you. Eh...

Even with a wooden sword you would at least attack the enemy to disable him, in this episode he didn't even dare to attack the body, but instead attacked the enemy's weapon.

I'll leave you to judge for yourself. Just oughtta point out that he totally killed the three leopard guys in episode 3.

How did he "totally" kill them? He attacked them with a wooden sword and nobody mentioned that they died in the process.

When Shinpachi was chasing Gintoki, he said that he was being accused of murder. As for how, Gintama logic, I guess.

Must be my subtitles then, I rewatched the scene again and there was no mention of it. I read about it in the wiki though and there it's mentioned that he killed them. So... basically Gin is racist and will only kill aliens? O_O

Will given what a sugar junkie he is... xD
Though I understand that the first episodes do not represent the later episodes, so I won't try to interpet too much into his personality ^^;

So far Gintama has been ok, i still haven't laughed hysterically like most of the comments i read, but i think ill continue watching it because it looks like it has potential, i mean it must be popular and highly rated for a reason. There was a serious moment at the end which i liked, and based on the comments it'll get more serious as we go. Anyways, i look forward to watching more.

"you will be forgiven for the recorder theft but you will have to shove it where the sun don't shine"

"why do you have two of them?" Checkmate.


And after this great cold opening, even Shinpachi surprisingly takes part in... belching?

those pictures of the old guy artificially made more beautiful by the 275 and 384 %... lol

That old guy looked like Fairy Tail guild master


Hiji was already demonic with Yamazaki just for a wrong address, and Sogo was probably proud of Gintoki for that accidental attempted murder of the former

Kagura is suddenly all surprised and worried ... but not for her boss

"Call the police" "i am the police" glad that this joke already happened this soon

And finally, cool, a real lesson this time by professor Gintoki. "Go behind the chalkboard!"

It was a fun episode but I wish the story was more serious. He have a lot of things established that deserve more attention. So, the Mangaka should had made some of the jokes smaller in length.
