KingLear said: they only said the arc would climax next week, climax isnt the same as ending, hell yoshiwara, 4 Divas, and red spider all reach their climax on the episode before the final ep of the arc.This was awesome. Gintoki goes berserk while remembering his sensei = epicness! It's just too bad the arc will end next week, so I suppose re-runs take place again...? Nevertheless, I can't wait for the finale. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| like the new(?) bgm when gintoki meets oboro! i suppose there will be more 2 episodes to finish this arc...probably. and zura can't show up in this arc because he is a jouishishi, that will change the whole thing which looking for suzuran's lover in the beginning. |
| Beasts. nuff said. Looking forward to the next episode. |
KaiserNazrin said: Birondo said: this ep is flawLESS! is that what i think it is? hash life.. :(  but where's sakamoto? Sakamoto wasn't one of Shoyo student, he just joined the war at some point so he is not necessary in the flashback. i see...i've alway thought he's one of shoyo student...guess i'm wrong xD |
 |
| Yet another great episode I want Kagura's bulletproof umbrella lol omg, Oboro has Kakashi's voice Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi for the next episode Gintama is overpowered now that it has Kugimiya, Hirano and Tomokazu all in a same episode |
| Holy mother of god, that was fucking awesome. |
 |
| NEED.TO.WATCH.THIS.AGAIN....(tomorrow, to resurrect my brain) @.@ I was getting kinda irritated when there was no new episode for weeks, and was asking myself if there is any hope for it....But now I know...It was worthy every fuckin' week missed. This episode was beyond imaginable successful and amazing!!! It got my jaw hanging for a whole 20 minutes. Oh and not to forget...Psycho Ginn~ need.more.of.this.shit~ edit:I never imagined that Gintama can get this serious o.O |
 |

No, I just watched those 3 animes in that order. So it was an awesome night for me, as all 3 were absolutely amazing. But Gintama was epic. |
|

| The big brown fox jumps over the lazy dog |
| i was hoping if there will be a bit of romance between tsukoyo and gintoki.. i thought they were a perfect match. anyways, great episode! no.... PERFECT EPISODE! the battle was so intense, maybe the best serious arc in gintama right now. IMO. |
 |
| The direction was meh, but I like this arc. |

Hybridbloodszak said: Aw snap, a good episode but Sadsada's motives I find questionable. He says he rules the country but he's not even the Shogun anymore, we have Sho-chan and from last episode we saw him hearing how much of a dick the old man is. Historically shoguns and emperors used to retire in order to wield more power behind the curtains. The reason was the standing shogun's decisions were usually dictated by the single most powerful family, he was kind of puppet, always under surveillance. By retiring shogun could contact with other groups, etc. It has been the rule for centuries in old Japan and caused many wars. |

| The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything. |
| i've been waiting for this SO DAMN LONG! god i'm agitated to bones! THIS IS EPIC THIS IS WHY I LOVE GINTAMA THIS MUCH! |
| I can't believe that bastard cut off the old man's other arm too! Poor guy. It's nice to see the women kick some ass, as usual, and finally learn more about Gintoki's past. So sad ;^; |

| I feel like this should be a Zura-centric arc, given they are basically doing Joui work - but he's nowhere to be seen! |
 |
| And as usual, the cavalry arrives late, although in both gumi(s) defense, it's technically a tad bit earlier than what the particular trope would suggest. XD Perhaps it's not my place to say anything about tardiness, seeing as I'm late to this discussion myself; not to mention at any moment now, the next episode thread would probably be made. XD On a side note, since everyone (or mostly the majority) are still cock-smitten by Gintoki,well it's simply worth mentioning my interest in another possible full-time villain (who isn't under Takasugi's thumb) in Oboro. While he lacks (in) or ain't exactly "big bad" material, he makes up with his seemingly extensive knowledge of Gintoki's past, which could easily catapult his role into an instant arch nemesis of sort and not only for Gin-san, but maybe for Takasugi even. |

| Absolutely brilliant episode. This arc is blowing me away a second time round. |
 |
| Before Oboro showed up i was like "ehh, an alright arc i guess" but then he dropped the bombshell that is the death of Gintoki's mysterious sensei which instantly piqued my interest! Now it's automatically an awesome arc!! |
| That Shogun....that shogun opened the country and sold out all of those people...he also killed Gin-chan's teacher...I wonder why Gin-chan is so mad. I've been waiting for that back story for a long time now and i'm glad it's finally been brought to light. This arc might be the best of the whole series. |

Kella said: This episode was... EPIC!! I wasn't so excited for a Gintama arc probably since the Shinsengumi Rebellion... I loved it! We finally saw a glimpse of Gintoki's past... and I'm also glad in the end Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi entered the battle too! Darn I was waiting for the Joui and Katsura to save their asses ): Whatever as long as I get to see him... or maybe not... ): |

| Amazing, I love these more serious arcs so much! Scenes and info about Gintama's past means instant 5/5 for the episode |
 |
| Dude. That was great. Although it's kind of predictable that Gin-san will snap with Sadasada being like "I cut the old man's arm for fun" and "Shouyou, who's that?", he's reaction was still epic. It was also the first time we get to hear the last name of Shouyou, Yoshida. If some of you are interested in cultural background: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoshida_Shint%C5%8D fanty said: Direction looked fine to me. Are you comparing to the manga (which I don't read)?The direction was meh, but I like this arc. |
 |
| Damn this was an awesome episode, I think we're going to see Gin-san totally in rage next, it sure was interesting to learn slightly more about his past! Either way some great development so lets see what's next! |
 |
| My god!! This episode is absolutely amazing~!! So much going on! & we learned more about Gintoki's past! ahh I had goosepumps the entire episode! also: more Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi <3 Hopefully Zura appears... |
| Gintoki effortlessly cleaves his way through hundreds upon hundreds of soldiers in a feat that is so unrealistic and unbelievable that the only remotely plausible explanation is to claim that he is the incarnation of an ancient and all-powerful deity of war, and yet once he finally gets to the shogun he suddenly becomes a complete pushover in an effort to convince us that this new guy we've never met before is a 'really-bad-dude'. Let's not forget the fact that in every other scene all of the enemies around them suddenly stop trying to kill them and just sit there and stare like complete retards in order to give Gintoki and Co. a chance to start some sort of ridiculous monologue in the middle of a fucking battle!! Now Gintoki is all fucked up with poisoned needles sticking out from every joint on his body and blood is spewing from every orifice on his face, and while this is supposed to make us feel like the situation is fucked I can almost 100% guarantee you that he's either going to overcome all of the poison and fight off the paralysis using nothing but sheer willpower, or someone is going to suddenly show up and for whatever ungodly reason they will just so happen to have an antidote handy that conveniently cures the paralysis and gets him back into the fight. This is an example of mindless and uninspired action at its worst. It's really painful to sit through these scenes, especially since I love Gintama. |

| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| Women being badass. <3 Learning more about Gintoki's past. |
 |
The three sadisteers can shut up now ! |
 |
| This arc got so interesting all of a sudden LOL. ...Why do they keep excluding Sakamoto in Joui flashbacks lately? Is he not that important ;v;;;; |
 |
| oh shit. a damn good episode. Can't wait to see how Gintoki goes out of control and switch in the badass mode. |
| f**ing amazing episode 100000/5 but the ed ruined the mood |
 |
| My eyes got teary when we learned about Gintoki past ;_ ; He had lost everything... But something made him change, to become the lazy samourai he is today. I really wonder what it is. Maybe it's simply due to his sensei teaching, maybe he understood that seeking reveange is meaningless. But his arc isn't about revenge, it's about making an old man accomplish his promise. Even if things are desesperate, Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi have arrived to save the young ones! :D And let's just watch Gintoki magic operate. This arc sure is epic so far. Such intensity, and we even learned more about Gintoki past. What could I ask more? |

| O.M.G. Just when I thought Gintama couldnt get more awesome, it surpasses my expectations again!!!!!! o_____O The fighting scenes were badass and I love that trio of kagura, tsuki and nobume!! Totally wasnt expecting this to be related to Gin's past!!! OMG OMG this arc is JUst so awesome!!!! EPICCCCC!! I totally didnt expect this to be this serious an arc when it first started out, with Gin and that old Suzuran lady! *mindblown* |

| Holy.. Wow. This just went from a slightly comedic arc to flat-out one of the most serious arcs so far. Gintoki's past is something I really need to see, along with Souyo. |

| holy fuck this episode was epic |
 |
| My favorite episode of Gintama ever period. From the first half action/animation to Gintoki's rage and that blade break with his mouth. Then we got to see more of Gintoki's past and how they decapitated Gintoki's sensei! Gintoki, stand up! ∞^∞^∞/5 |
 |
| Epic-fucking-ness. Hialrious AF and dat animation... it reminds me of Saitama fighting those monsters in his dream, with the exaggerated drawing and such. One of my top 3 episodes of Gintama, for sure. |
