both the shogun assassination arc and farewell shinsengumi arc are probably the best arcs ever but I'll have to go with the shogun assassination arc due to how amazing the fights were

I consider the Shogun Assassination Arc as the single best arc of all time. It was the first time I had tears in my eyes.

I have to say Farewell Shinsengumi arc, i consider this and Shogun Assasination to be 10/10 but i slightly prefer FS arc more. After these 2 though, I'd say Four Devas arc

My doctor has always told me to smoke. He even explains himself: “Smoke, my friend. Otherwise someone else will smoke in your place.”

Thorny was a great arc. It was hilarious, serious and emotional at the same time as most arcs in Gintama are, but the rap sequences by Sasaki Tetsunosuke were the highlights in every episode.

They were better than most of todays mumble rappers.

Okita Mitsuba, Shinsengumi Crisis, Yoshiwara in Flames, Thorny, Courtesan of a Nation, Shougun Assassination, Farewell Shinsengumi, and Rakuyou Decisive Battle are all great.

It's been 6 years since last time I watch gintama so only Benizakura, four devas ,Reaper, courtesan of the nation arc are the one I remember and I think reaper is the most enjoyable even though it was short.

SA and FS are obvious choice for many but they are all goated arcs. Still imo i liked silver soul the most coz even though it didnt have as many fights as SA, the tension in the arc overall was consistent. Every moment out of SS arc felt like the stakes were higher than ever before with them being greatly outnumber and it being a battle for survival more than anything. The FS arc was filled to brim with emotions tho and i could imagine how it would have been for ppl who watched it without any spoilers or expecting whats to come next. We obviously cant forget benizakura arc too, i mean it was the first serious arc we got from gintama. Also an honourable mention would be the yoshiwara arc, got some of the best moments in the series.

Shogun Assassination is not only the best Gintama arc but also the best animanga arc in my opinion.

my favourite was the red spider arc for a very long time but then shogun assassination came along and blew me away. farewell shinsengumi immediately right after was a surprise as well but still think SAA is the best.

Shogun Asssassination and Farewell Shinsengumi for sure, I was glued to my screen all 17 episodes, it was an emotional rollercoaster. As for which one is better I'm still not fully sure, they were both masterpieces and among the best arcs ever made.

Shogun assassination and farewell shinsengumi are definitely most serious and peak of the show but I'd still say okiba mitsuba arc was also one of the better arcs as in span of 2 episodes it able to build the narrative and form emotional peak of the arc and it was rather unexpected to say the least and I'd that this arc one of the best art style of original gintama series

Yoshiwara in Flames because that's the one I remember pretty much everything that happened even now. Every other arc, I feel like my memory of them is a bit hazy. Thank God I'm rewatching the entire thing.
