Best arc
| for me, yoshiwara arc(139~146) > four devas arc(210~214) = shisengumi arc(101~105) > benizakura arc(58~61) = red spider arc(177~181) -- in that order. i don't like baragaki arc at all, i think it was kinda boring... and in my opinion, umibozu arc(40~42) & fuyo arc(69~71) are both serious arcs too. ikkoku arc in manga was really epic! looking forward to the anime version. |

Silver_Wave said: yah i know umibzou technically counts, but i dont know theres a big differance between the ones up there and the umibozu in terms of seriousness, all the other arcs up there kind of have that drop off point where things get darker and will ahve little to no comedy till the epilogue, Umibozu doesnt have that, Fuyo i barely remember but would anyone honestly vote for that?for me, yoshiwara arc(139~146) > four devas arc(210~214) = shisengumi arc(101~105) > benizakura arc(58~61) = red spider arc(177~181) -- in that order. i don't like baragaki arc at all, i think it was kinda boring... and in my opinion, umibozu arc(40~42) & fuyo arc(69~71) are both serious arcs too. ikkoku arc in manga was really epic! looking forward to the anime version. Like im not counting every arc that gets serious, cause almost every one of them aside from a small number of them do at some point near the end. Even some of the most absurd did, but im asking for those specific arcs where shit really got real that really let the drama take the majority of the screen time, that being said i should have left yagyuu off. |

| Shinsengumi Rebellion arc. Love the Shinsengumi. Went in depth with Hijikata's personality(s), and I was happy to see Sogo's strong loyalty to Kondo. Loved how Hijikata and Sogo explained to Kondo that they were the sword to protect his beliefs. Isao was a great antagonist, and was very satisfied with his resolve. Gintoki vs Bansai was cool, but Yorozuya in Shinsengumi uniforms were awesome! |
| I vote for Yoshiwara in Flames arc.. Was nice to see Kagura's badass side <3 but the best scene was Okita's rebellion when he killed everyone on the train .. Now that was EPIC .. Can't wait for the new arc to be animated <3 |

| Just started on the first series, I am really curious to see how the serious arcs will turnout. Seems like I got a long way though. |

Just keep this in mind, the shows gets consistantly better both in terms of comedy and drama, So the first instances of drama really are not all that memorable, but they start becoming that in the memory loss arc which is also where the show starts to reach its true colors as a whole |

| Ikkoku Keisei has been such a epic arc so far, i dont know if it tops 4 divas yet(ill reserve judgement until the arc is actually done obviously) but I could see this topping it if the quality of the next 2 episodes are as good as the previous one. |

| Yoshiwara being first is no surprise I'm getting psyched just listening to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pmw4VfJMD-M my favourites would be 1. Ikkoku Keisei 2. Yoshiwara in Flames 3. Kabukicho Four Devas the transition from funny to serious had the biggest impact in the IK arc for me and lots of cool stuff happens watching it in the anime is even more fun |
 |
| depending on how the next 2 episodes of ikkou kissei work out i may be able to say its better than 4 divas, it needs and emotional kick to it, also i swear to god they better do a summary clip show in the credits like they usually do, I was really disappointed how they didnt do that for the 4 divas arc with samurai heart. I really wnat to see a summary with the full song to the op. |

| I voted for the Red Spider arc since it has one of my favorite moments in it (firsts half of episode 180), and I keep rewatching it just for that. If I had to judge how much I enjoyed an entire arc thought...that's harder. Four devas arc stick out for the graveyard episode, the latest episodes of the Ikkoku Keisei arc have been really good too. But Yoshiwara in Flames probably is the best overall in my opinion. |
| Woff, I'm a Cow |
| After finishing the newest arc...I say it's probably my fav. 4 Deva and Yoshiwara arc aren't far behind either. Those 3 arcs are the definition of EPICNESS!! |
 |
| Well might as well do a listing now that the ikkoku keisei arc is done 4 Divas > Ikkoku Keissei > Yoshiwara > Shinsengumi rebbelion > Okita's sister > Baragaki > benizakura Honeslty after rewatching the benizakura arc again yesterday.....it really is the worst in terms of comedy, pacing, and action, It was a blast originally watching it since it was the first action arc in gintama but seeing it a 2nd time.....its really not all that good a 2nd time around |

| Ikkoku Keissei is tied with Yoshiwara in flames for me, both just had everything you could possibly ask for. |
 |
| Ikkoku Keissei arc Although it seemingly had slight action than Yoshiwara arc which is also my favorite, it had intense plot development and really gave me a clear view on what direction Gintama will take on the future. Also, although Yoshiwara introduced Kamui as an important character on the part of Kagura and revealed a little bit of her past, Ikkoku Keissei not only introduced Oboro and other new characters but also finally gave us a picture of Gintoki's sensei, Gintoki's identity as the White Yasha, the cause of Takasugi's hatred and Zura's membership of Joi. Not only that, it seems other aspects of Gintama besides its epic comedy and action, it all mixed into one in this arc. |
| "Everyone wears their own panties inside their heart" - Kousaku Hata |
| I need to watch Shinsengumi and Yoshiwara in Flames still, I keep jumping about with Gintama for some stupid reason. I haven't heard much of the Yagyuu arc or Okita's sister, but I'll have to check those out too. As for the ones I've seen: Benizakura, Red Spider, Four Devas, Baragaki and Ikkoku Keissei, I'd say Red Spider and Ikkoku Keisei are the best, Four Devas in the middle and Benizakura and Baragaki were weak. I recently watched Red Spider and while it was short, it was heartwarming and sorrowful. There were lots of intricacies in the plot and the character dynamics, it shows bits of Gin & Tsukuyo's backstories and it has a great fight with Gin vs Jiraia; along with the fact that the antagonist actually DIES in this arc makes it was one easily one of the best IMO. The thing keeping Ikkoku Keisei down was some of the predictable or odd moments along with the fact that Oboro lives, thus prolonging the importance and devotion to yet ANOTHER villain, but other than that it was also very compassionate and well made and had some of the most badass fights of the series. Four Devas had some awesome twists and alliance shifts, but there were a few big cop-outs which weakened the intensity. Benizakura was kind of cookie cutter but was the first notably major battle arc and Baragaki was cheesy. EDIT: My bad, I assumed Baragaki was another name for the Kintama arc; I'm out of my mind right now ;P. I would've considered the Kintama arc borderline serious, it certainly had tense moments, although there was a lot of comedy and meandering around. On that note, I should watch the Baragaki arc too. |

| I'm also really looking forward to Obi-One Kenofi because Shinpachi finally gets to truly shine! :D |
| I didn't like serious arcs in gintama but if I have to choose I'll say Yagyuu Arc because of that epic sandpaper scene My favorite arc in general is the ketsuno ana arc. The pandemonium and flying balls made me love gintama |

| In terms of best arc hand down its Yoshiwara in Flames arc. I picked the Spider arc as the best serious arc because its the first time we got to see Gintoki really mad, at least in my opinion he seemed more serious than ever in that arc. Also the plot was much more sadistic and darker than some of the other arcs, in my opinion. |

| Itou's death is probably the 2nd saddest in the series for me, okita's sister is by far the saddest part of the series in general |

| You people forgot the Rengokukan arc at the start of the serie, that was the first time that Gintoki really showed his serious part |
| How I love a game |
| Gintama has so much good serious arcs, it's really hard to choose, I'll have to go with Benizakura arc, it's the one that started it all, and established the whole "serious story" for Gintama. |

| I really prefer ALL arcs almost !!! ^^ it's really hard to make decission x..x Benizakura arc, Yagyuu arc, Shinsengumi Rebellion arc, Yoshiwara in Flames arc, Red Spider arc, Kabukicho Four Devas arc, Baragaki arc, Ikkoku Keisei arc, Obi-One Kenofi Arc (Dojo Revival Arc).. but my ultimate favourite are Kabukicho Four Devas and Baragaki arc <3 it was just soo fierce *o* and Gintoki and Hijikata fighting and Isaburo.. it was really epic ~ and now new favourite is definitelly Ikkoku Keisei arc where Oboro vs Gintoki and Shinsengumi/Mimawarigumi Shogun Kagura Shinpachi.. everyone and story is just beautiful and sad and dramatic.. so after Baragaki Ikkoku Keisei ~ but voted for Baragaki :) |
 *ANIME I.NTERE.ST*----> +IN anime pictures and get FREE anime & manga merchandize from JAPAN! |
| Any arc where they play "Jinsei wa Belt Conveyor no Youni Nagareru" at the climax. But if I had to rank these ones I tend to think about stand out moments of utter baddass in each arc. OF course that's in all of them...anyway 1. Yoshiwara - Kagura Fight 2. Shinsengumi Rebellion - Okita on a train full of people 3. Baragaki - Fucking Hijikata cutting a bullet in half Those are the standout moments I can think of. My instinct says Red Spider next but I can't think of the moment where I had an awesomegasm. Four Devas was great particularly when Jirochou and Gintoki teamed up. Lastly I loved the Ikoku arc it was on a completely different scale from previous arcs in that the freaking shogunate got involved, but I'm not inclined to rank something so recent no matter how awesome Gintoki and Oboro's fight was. |
| Voted for Yoshiwara arc, it is a very good arc, but the fight between Gintoki and Ya Ou wasn't much, it's good but there are better ones. Overall, Yoshiwara > Yagyuu > Red Spider > Shinsengumi Rebellion > Kabukicho Four Devas > Baragaki > Benizakura > Ikkoku Keisei. |

 |
| lol Reviving this age old thread. Anyways, still need to see Baragaki, Yagyu and Okita's Sis, but my current ranking goes: Red Spider>Courtesan of a Nation>Four Devas~=Yoshiwara in Flames>Obi One Kenofi (but Shin finally manning-up was refreshing)>Shinsengumi Rebellion>Benizakura |

| Yoshiwara arc I guess. It is kinda disappointing to see it have the most votes, so I guess that's the best serious arc according to the fans? The arc could have been better. There were too many cheesy moments and that kid was just plain annoying sometimes. There is a small plot hole too ( How were she able to stand in the beginning of the arc in that tower where that kid always used to see her if her legs tendon were cut ?) unless it was mentioned that they were cut during the invasion. The main fight was not even the best and it just dragged out. Kagura's fight was the best imo. I like Tsukuyo though, I think I liked her before I even watched her debut episode due to her and Gintoko fan art I've seen. Meh. All the arcs before it ranged from mediocre to below average. I guess comedy is all there is to Gintama. Which would have been great if it weren't for the hit and miss nature of most of the episodes. |

Gintama's arcs definitely aren't the very best, but they are still better than Naruto's, so I don't see the problem. Especially when the whole point of Gintama is the parody and the comedy. The arcs are there to give the comedy/parody a nice setting, that's what I feel. (E.g Yoshiwara in Flames had obvious references to Rurouni Kenshin and Naruto.) And a little change of pace from the randomness. Shounen crap is like pizza. It's never bad, just awfully mediocre at times. And Gintama parodies that, in good and bad. For me has to be between Yoshiwara and Ikkou Kissei indeed. |

| The Kenofi arc has no votes :( I'm pretty surprised by that... it isn't my favorite but I thought it was pretty good. Especially because it gave Shinpachi and Otae some much needed attention and depth. |

For me has to be between Yoshiwara and Ikkou Kissei indeed. Better than Naruto's? okay that's your opinion. I don't understand why you are stating it as a fact, however, must be a bait. The only thing Gintama's better at than Naruto is the comedy imo. Which is something not worth mentioning, since comedy is merely a sub genre in Naruto, like most other battle manga. They are not better than the other Shounen arcs I've seen, maybe better than some arcs in one piece, but that's about it. Bleach's Zanbakuto filler arc is better than most of Gintama's arc. They are not better than anything else imo. Literally every other battle anime/manga I've watched/read had better serious arcs than Gintama's. If Gintama only has comedy to offer, then yeah that's a problem. Comedy won't make an anime enjoyable or satisfy the basic need for entertainment for 200+ episodes, no matter how good it is. And in Gintama's case, there are quite a lot of miss comedy episodes. But that's just me, if other people think that's enough, all the more power to them. I will have to disagree with your stupid pizza analogy. |

I guess comedy is all there is to Gintama. Which would have been great if it weren't for the hit and miss nature of most of the episodes. Gintama's arcs definitely aren't the very best, but they are still better than Naruto's, so I don't see the problem. Especially when the whole point of Gintama is the parody and the comedy. The arcs are there to give the comedy/parody a nice setting, that's what I feel. (E.g Yoshiwara in Flames had obvious references to Rurouni Kenshin and Naruto.) And a little change of pace from the randomness. Shounen crap is like pizza. It's never bad, just awfully mediocre at times. And Gintama parodies that, in good and bad. For me has to be between Yoshiwara and Ikkou Kissei indeed. Better than Naruto's? okay that's your opinion. I don't understand why you are stating it as a fact, however, must be a bait. The only thing Gintama's better at than Naruto is the comedy imo. Which is something not worth mentioning, since comedy is merely a sub genre in Naruto, like most other battle manga. They are not better than the other Shounen arcs I've seen, maybe better than some arcs in one piece, but that's about it. Bleach's Zanbakuto filler arc is better than most of Gintama's arc. They are not better than anything else imo. Literally every other battle anime/manga I've watched/read had better serious arcs than Gintama's. If Gintama only has comedy to offer, then yeah that's a problem. Comedy won't make an anime enjoyable or satisfy the basic need for entertainment for 200+ episodes, no matter how good it is. And in Gintama's case, there are quite a lot of miss comedy episodes. But that's just me, if other people think that's enough, all the more power to them. I will have to disagree with your stupid pizza analogy. |
