Wow, I guess I'm the only one who realizes all the references to Metal Gear Solid and the fact this was a parody of Metal Gear?

Patriot (Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots) = Tissue box (Called Solid) Toilet Paper (Called Naked)

Can't believe everyone missed that.


I second this. The Patriot was also an unlockable weapon in MGS3.

I would SO rather have one of these Patriots, though. Not only do you wield it, you can BECOME THE PATRIOT. xD

This was an okay episode. It was mostly built on WTF moments which got a bit repetitive.

The funniest bit was the tour at the end and seeing how every single character in Gintama has manic depression. xD

That Daigoro kid being hardboiled lmao. He didn't even notice Hasegawa! Kondo giving out tips on being a stalker was hilarious. But the best part was the story behind the Patriots.

Gintama just love to go full absurd. What's the purpose of the Patriots? Who knows, we may never learn the truth behind the Patriots. He'll join the Justaway as a new mascot... :'(

Patriot.. lmao!

I may be wrong but I think that kid Daigoro was voiced by Naruto's VA. They sound the same. He just need to add -ttebayo to the end of his sentences and boom!

That very interesting and touching backstory with matching masterpiece of an OST.. how come those kids... meh they're just kids. Too young to appreciate how awesome this episode is XD!

It's simple, no matter how low you think your job is, be proud because you are helping the society and the economy even in your own little special way. Unless you a drug dealer.

Tskuyo is always welcome addition to the show, shame that doesn't get more screen time.

Also, the patriot is clearly the best invention man has ever created.

Patriot xD

That was sooo random but so funny.

Gin used so much english words who made no sense :D

Hijikata lost it after this one kid asked him so much questions.

Tsukuyo was so cute, I want to see more of here >.<

And then Kondou who got smashed his head by Otoe and wanted to show the kids how to become a stalker lol
Hasegawa and Kondou are patriots.

And then this show in the fabrik omg. That was so crazy funny with mama Kondou and papa Hasegawa and even after all this the kids didn't believe in the patriot and kicked Gin's ass xD

But as always this message behind all the fun, that's the typical Gintama I love :)

I can never tell what is filler and what isn't with Gintama, and I think that's what makes it so appealing to me.
this episode is a great metaphor for Gintama in general, I guess, it knows it's pretty useless and knows that some people will view it that way regardless, but it's important and has meaning to us and that is what matters in the end.

also side note: I've been unwell in many ways lately and having been contemplating some serious shit, this episode helped me a lot.

Oh man - as much as I love the serious, action-packed arcs like we just had, it’s lovely to have a completely ridiculous WTF Gintama episode like this, too!
Laughed my ass off throughout. Gin making up random words while constructing the Patriot to sound important, philosophizing about the indentation below your nose, everyone suddenly ends up with Patriots as their job due to the kids’ difficult questions, the fried chicken “history” of the Patriot, and the whole conveyor belt scene that kept speeding up! Non-stop laughing!
Gintama is genius.

Good to see the main cast back. Patriots are important to the society. Such a tragic backstory and the kids still beat them all up LOL. Naruto VA daigoru guy is back.

damn, this episode was a tryout for naruto's talk no jutsu. because Daigorou (who has the same VA of Naruto) just roasted the hell out of Gintoki and his job.
