THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Takahiro Sakurai's voice acting was outstanding. As he was voicing Saitou, he pulled off various speech patterns and accents just like how the main trio of Gintama talks. xD

The Shinsengumi only realized it was Zura when he finally took off his wig while lying down on the bedsheet. The battle animation between Saitou and Zura was so awesome btw and it was very intense. Well, that concludes this arc, and the Shinsengumi got free afro hairdos after the bomb explosion.

Amazing episode as usual. Zura is on standby a lot but when he isn't on standby he is always hilarious (as is most of the main cast)

Next week they're doing another hilarious arc :)

Such an amazing arc!

The fight was great. Comedic part was hilarious and the serious part was badass. Couldn't ask for much more.

Hijikata sucking that mayonnaise bottle was gold!

Great Arc overall, Zura never fails to entertain.

Next Time: Personal favorite comedy chapters in the series. KAGURA'S FALSE FUNERAL TIME.

Holy crap this has been one of my favorite arcs in Gintama.

Hilarious episode topped off with an amazingly well animated fight........though i don't think i'm gonna get that Toshi slurping sound out of my mind for a while xD

Hilarious ep XD Loved how Saito suddenly suddenly started talking (well it wasn't him but how the Shinsengumi thought he did). Dem Conan references tho. Changing the voice. I'm guessing Gengai made the device?

Saying "Screw my character I'm about to be executed, I'm not that fixated on my character to keep acting like that" lol

Was that slit Konjac scene with Kondo a Shimoneta reference?

Z Kai part was awesome. Zura and Saito sleeping like that was lol

The animation during the Zura vs Saito fight was amazing. Really love Saito a lot now. His faces are DAMN EPIC! And Zura smiling from excitement throughout the fight was cool.

His line "Cut all of them other than Z because I'll be the one to cut Z" was really nice. A new Bromance Rivalry has been born :*)

But Saito screwed up and said Z anyway blowing the whole place up lololol

Anyway lots of fun. Can't wait for the hilarious nxt arc

PS...THE HORROR!! Dat Hijikata Mayo sucking scene will haunt me 4ever

The dirt Saitou uncovered on the top brass was hilarious! Especially as Kondou was preparing something buck naked... And a great finale to an excellent arc.

Finally, the first 1v1 for Zura where he fought seriously against a legitimate opponent, and it was absolutely perfect (just like the episode). Best fight this series.

P.S. The new OST is Grammy worthy.

P.P.S Dem episode ratings, all 19 are five/five. Deservedly so.

No it wasn't. Even though this was animated after Shimoneta, the manga chapter was out in 2014.

Saito finding dirt on Hijikata, Sogou and Kondo made me lol so hard. Great arc with a good fight as well. This is Gintama at its best.
5 main aspects I base my ratings on:
1. Did DramaEnthusiast make a thread about it?
2. Is it better than Breaking Bad?
3. Did MellowJello recommend the shit out of it?
4. Has it caused a (very entertaining) shitstorm on MAL?
5. Is it actually good?

Scratch the fifth point, it's not very relevant...

The investigation diary bits were pure silver.
I love how at the start of each diary entry they all had silhouettes of a Conan character omg my sides

Whoever is Saito's VA that was an outstanding performance, just the tone of voice you knew it was Gintoki and Kagura talking for him

Great great episode. It's been a while since I laughed pretty much the whole duration of the episode since episode 240. Great job by Sakurai Takahiro on voicing Saito in different characters. I do wish that this arc extended for 1 episode. Next week, Kagura the straight man(tsukommi)

Gintama never failz at bringing hilariouz scenez, badazz scenez and a little bit slice of life perfectly together in a single episode, and they ain't even trying! It's just Gintama being Gintama.

HYPE for next week! This season really felt like it lacked Kagura, aru?

Ahhhhhz what an amazing episode lolz but a shame there aren't the scene in manga when Saitou treat threatening every person in shinsengumi secret because he's need to read the diary which contain their secret in order to prove his innocencez, an bit shame but the presentation in this episode is still amazingz.AND i am relieve THAT ARC isnt going to happen yet and next week its gonna be another hilarious episodez...because in the manga Shimaru Saitou Arc is the (maybe) final hilarious arc before THAT ARCz.saying the truthz...i'm not ready yet for THAT ARC to happen yetz.Been worry because the epic ending that teaser that amazing arcz....I'm going to prepare myself to get ready for THAT ARCz...the arc that make gintama storyline going into the point of no return...HYPE!!

Overall this episode is totally 10 outta 10 zzzzzzzzzzzz
