| I didn't really enjoy this arc in the manga but it actually seems better animated. |
 |
| Gintoki begged for the safety of his friends... he is indeed the greatest shounen protagonist of all time. |
 |
| Quite interesting development here, lets see what happens next! Only 2 episodes left :s |
 |
| Melodrama from start to finish, lame action sequences with very little fighting but tons of still-images and pointless monologues, numerous instances of out-of-character behaviours (e.g. Hijikata, Shinpachi), not to mention the cheesy "big brother" theme that the entire episode played upon. Everyone is acting so differently from normal that it doesn't even feel like I'm watching the same anime anymore. This is bad. Terrible, even. I never watched Gintama for this crap, I watched it for the comedy. Gintama's serious scenes were never anything special and the fight scenes have (with a few specific exceptions) always been bad, but even then Gintama tried to keep the laughs rolling and even in the 'serious' scenes it never felt like it took itself too seriously. So what happened here? Why is this arc and the previous arc so bad? If there is another season, I can only hope that it avoids this trash and acts more like season two. To be honest, I can't understand why everyone thinks Gintoki has been "badass" in these last few episodes. Is it because they showed close-ups of his grinning face? Is it because he has absolutely no fear of death? If it wasn't for Shinpachi deciding all on his own to go help Gintoki, he'd be DEAD. Picking a fight with this obi-one guy and acting smug and confident even when Gintoki is getting his ass handed to him is just plain idiotic. However, even before the fight ever started I already knew Gintoki would win by default because that's how these fights generally go, and that was confirmed when Shinpachi showed up at *just* the right time to save his sorry ass. In my opinion, characters who can't die no matter what kind of retarded mistakes they make and no matter how extremely overconfident they act and no matter what kind of hell they go through are the polar opposite of "badass". I'm very disappointed with this season, I can't wait until it's over. |

| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| Really lame arc. |
 |
| The yodas with red light sabers are more fitting to watch than the original yoda with his green light saber. |
 |
| Gin-chan begging on the ground ;__;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; I didn't know I could love him more. |
 |
| Seems that the last Arc is also very good. Gintama went with every single episode better and better. Gintama 2015 must be epic :D and Gintoki... Respect. There is no way you can't love him ! |
| Broken brothers :/ He's really just a corpse... Well, not really, I guess his brain is still intact, but as soon as that robot part of him will stop working, he'll become back a corpse. Gintoki was really intense this episode, playing the role of the jerk toward Shinpachi, Tae and everyone. I feel so bad for him, it's not his kind to be like that to his friend. It's pretty rare to see Tae as serious as in this episode. It break my heart :'( |

| Good Arc, Great Fight, and I never expected Gintoki to get on his knees and beg. |
"You either die an Ashita no Joe, or you live long enough to see yourself become a Naruto."  |
| Gintoki's such a badass for sacrificing his dignity for Obi-one. Shinpachi might get a chance to be badass? 5/5 |
 |
| I knew Gin-san wouldn't attack Obi-one Kenofi without a good reason. Anyway I kinda find it hard to relate to the whole brother drama because I feel it's rushed. I mean we barely know Obi-one. There was a short flashback about him and Shinpachi and Otae laughing like idiots and that's that. Unlike in the previous arc where there was a lot of buildup before the climax that's why it was great. I don't know I just feel like this is rushed. |
 |
| Nice to see how gintoki manages to teach a lesson. At least there was some character development for sadaharu too. |
 |
| Gintoki *o*. Shinpachi and Otae reactions were really unusual, but they were so perfect. This scene brought tears to my eyes, I hope the last episode of this arc will be as good. |
| Just finished rewatching this arc and for what starts off as a comedic one, damn, it's emotional. |
 |
| All this talk about brothers is really touching :') Emotional arcs back to back got me dehydrated though goshhh I was waiting for Toshi to arrive at Gintoki's side lol silly me |
| dat Star Wars Parody song |
| That was so sad to see. Otae with tears in her eyes begging on the ground before Gintoki and ask him to don't attack Hajime. He's like a big brother for Shinpachi which came back after a long time. I had the absolute same reaction as Shinpachi, Otae and Kagura when Gin attacked Hajime out of nowhere. Gin seems pretty coldhearted in this scene but I had never expected what he did before :o Gin is so awesome, he begged before Kondou and others for help and is trying to bring back the human Hajime. He always wants to protect everyone ;_; The fight between Gin and Hajime was awesome. Damn his lightsabers are crazy. It didn't look to good for Gin at the end, I mean he fight but wants to rescue Hajime. So I guess he's restraining his power a little bit. Fortunately Shinpachi came to help him in the last second. The next episode will be exciting. |
 |
| This episode really shows why Gintoki is so cool— bowing his head to the people he dislikes to protect the people he loves. |

| Never underestimate Gin. |

| Gin-chan playing bad guy figurine is classic. |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| I'm speechless Gin chan did that for them T^T All time fav episode of Gintama so far. |
| Another great episode. I'm sure to some them throwing around the whole brother thing would get annoying, but I thought its message of brotherly love was pretty powerful. You had me worried for a moment there, Gintoki. I was hoping your character didn't do a sudden 360, but no, you were being just as awesome as you usually are. The moment where Gintoki appeared to confront Hajime and Inside The Palace!!!! was definitely an "Okay, now this is epic" moment for me. Humor was good, the action was great, love the arc too. |
| Great episode as always! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Great episode! I love this arc alot |
 |
| Hope this arc will conclude next episode. So one episode will be dedicated to ending of the season |
| I love the emotion put into this episode! The main fight between Gintoki and Obi was great. |
| YESSSS GO SHINPACHI GOOOO |
| Ayo this arc has been way better than I thought it would be. Gin was really sweet in this episode too <3 |
| Another arc that was ok and quickly rose to a great one. Loved how Gin tried to handle things once again alone. anonymous_fan said: The ep was ok but I felt that some of the developments were a bit unbelievable. I found it unbelievable that Gintoki would have to 'beg' Kondo and Kyubei, as well as Shinsengumi to help him since he has selflessly helped them on more than one occasion. I also didn't like the indicated loss of dignity when he begged - I guess that was just me but I felt that the relationship between Gin and Shinsengumi was already on more friendly terms. I wouldn't mind a sentence of two of the Shinsengumi guys indicating that they would have gladly helped even without Gin's plea. Not to mention Kagura's, Otae's, and Shinpachi's stupid reactions to Gin's actions. I find it unbelievable they would just believe Gin is such a jerk after everything they have been through. I get what you're saying but earth is in danger, he may have begged but if it wasn't Gin-san they wouldn't have even entraitained that idea. I do feel the same about Otae and shinpachi reaction but it's also understandeable, they just got back what they believe is their brother figure, they wouldn't be able to think straight. As for Kagura, she was mostly just shocked because she was the only one out of them that didn't know what was happening to Hajime. |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Of course Gintoki is not just gonna wait and do nothing, it's great to see Kondo and Kyuubei fighting, but now I wonder if they'll be able to stop Obi-One |
 |
Ashhk said: Of course Gintoki is not just gonna wait and do nothing, it's great to see Kondo and Kyuubei fighting, but now I wonder if they'll be able to stop Obi-One Kondo and Kyuubei showing up was so hype along with Gins snarling face. Great direction. |
| Quite surprising side of Otae I've witnessed, guess when things get serious, she's just a frail woman... |
| Gintama need more conflict between the member of Odd Jobs.... |
| And here I was almost convinced that Gintoki is actually a badass, pity. |
| Damn, those moments between the Yorozuya plus Tae escalated quickly. About the funny moments, i laughed at Sogo denouncing Hiji as a suspect immediately after his own speech and the rest of Shinsengumi actually attacks their own demonic vice commander, and the second time in a row censorship about the movie title |
 |
| Another great great episode, all comedy was on point as always |
| Gintoki is always amazing. This is more interesting than the Elizabeth one and definitely not as long so that's a good thing. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
