Laughed pretty hard when he got lasered. It was nice seeing that the shogun was taught on how to throw Kunai properly, and seeing Zenzo be such a badass was great.

And here begins the hype and fights to come :D.

For anyone curious, 3 chapters covered this episode, 15 left. Covered to the end of Chap 509.

Some more Gintama humor, nice. The Shogun explains how he's still alive... Zenzo, you're the man :D! Gintoki knows the enemy best, that trick isn't enough to get rid of them. The Shogun is a badass to, he deserves to fight. We got some more of the Shogun's and Zenzo's past, and him being a badass. Sacchan to the rescue!

Dat cannon was both hilarious and epic! Loving Momochi

Absolutely loved all of the flashbacks. I've gained a lot of respect for Shigeshige and Zenzo in this flashback!

Sacchan gave me chills at the end of the episode. Hype!

It's just amazing how they're still keeping in some hilarious part even with all this emotional epic shit going on. I teared up at the end with Zenzou's monologue and the flashback going on at the same time while he was getting stabbed and cut up with that emotional OST (I FRIGGIN NEED IT SO MUCH). SO DAMN GOOOOOD!!! T^T I friggin love Zenzou so much now. Even Sacchan has become even more awesome. And ofc Sho-chan will always be friggin great.


And the identity of the double was feelzy ;_;

The comedy in the first half was hilarious. Liking Rappa. She's such a cute <3 Dat weapon! DAT BEAM! O_O Dat ass tea and toilet XD

"What is this the dark continent" I DIED LMAOing XD

Also it was funny how Zenzou said to Gin "it'll make me waver" He's addicted to the extent that what happens in the nxt chap of a manga could've hyped Zenzou enough to make him not focus on his plan of being a traitor ^^;

I know....that's like my favorite Abuto scene. Oh well, it's not liking their cutting anything major, just a few details here and there.

The main thing i was worried about going into this episode was the pacing (considering it's 3 chapters adapted in 1 episode). However i actually thought the pacing was really good to my surprise :)

This episode was glorious, the randomness (that laser) and gross Gintama comedy (that cocoa and tea) we've all grown to love as well as some awesomeness and backstory. Great episode.
Gained much respect for Zenzou in this episode and Momochi is cute :3

Momochi has some rather epic artillery, not to mention a rather handy puppet... And the shogun still has time to provide comic relief, despite trying to stay alive. Too bad his gun got twisted like that...

Loved Zenzo's and Shigeshige's backstory!

Managed to contain a good balance of comedy, drama, and action. This episode explained how the Shogun was alive and Zenzo never betrayed the Shogun at all. And that was one convenient puppet.... Feels very awkward watching it being capable of doing all that stuff.. xD Momochi is cute. <3 But Sacchan's face at the end, that was badass! xO

Eh? Is it just me or is Rappas voice very simliar to Maaya Sakamoto?

Well either way, execpt for skipping that one or two pagss with Abuto, they did a pretty good job of keeping a good adaption of the ep.

I just wonder now, which cliffhanger will be at the end of the next ep right before the next season will start next year...

The only thing I have to complain about besides the still weak animation is Kagura. Like I keep waiting for them to do something with her, since her race is like the biggest threat here. Even the stuff with Kamui seems more geared towards his rivalry with Sogo.

Who'd have thought a ninja who for hundreds of episodes had hemorrhoids could be this badass?
Anyways, great episode and I have to admit that little flashback and the whole thing with the double guy was done fantastically. Now I just wanna see Gin in action, though.
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...

I will be pretty damn mad if Katsura does not have a role to play in this arc. He is likely the only character apart from Gintoki that can take on Takasugi, Kamui and Yatos.

Since when was Zenzo so cool? And handsome. Dem moves... He got a great fighting style. Those kunais right in the face were great.

Sa-chan got serious. I could ship them. Nah, in fact, I'll ship them right away.

It's a great episode when you get to see Shige Shige being stupid. And do those serious faces he knows best.

Bro heard of spoiler tag?

Great episode, I'm too exited for the next episode... Freaking amazing. I didn't even know Zenzo was so cool either @Minouneetzeo but damn, that was pure epicness.

Urgh, now the only problem is having to wait until next week.

Kamui show us how to break the 4th wall
Worked ✓
Can do x

How to break the TV & suddenly it's unscathed when you changed into another channel? xD

Great to see the longest arc in gintama animated :3
Well though the last expression of Sacchan is kinda not good
Still hearing her voice.. is a big plus from anime! xD

No wonder I felt something is missing in this episode... Almost everybody mentioned it that they cut the Zenzo-Abuto dialogue and parts of Zenzo-Takasugi dialogue. Also there are still shots in the animation(e.g. Takasugi-Zenzo face-off) that I thought they(BNP) will put in some motion in it. But overall, I'll say this a good episode. We are nearing the climax- you know...

Best episode of the year.

Zenzou finally showing us just how fucking amazing a character he is.

Sacchan with an awe-inspiring cliffhanger.

But the best part of this beyond perfect episode: "He won't stop, even if the Shogun dies. He won't stop, even if the entire political landscape changes. If you want to stop him, you'll have to kill him." Jesus Christ, I am not not ready for this fight.

can't rate this episode since even 5/5 isn't enough , this episode is an excellent mix between your usual Gintama humour with some fucking epicness . Nice to know more about Shige-Shige's past and his relation with the Oniwaban , Seriously Zensou is so cool , can't wait for next episode !

PS: It doesn't have anything to do with Gintama but what's going on with MAL , why all the Opening on the animes' main pages redirect to that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ak-59_EpLw ?
