| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well the Benizakura arc is finished and we're back to comedy next episode. lol I don't really have anything to say except that was fucking awesome. Oh and I love this picture |
 |
| Good "image change" for Zura :D. The parachute was win. |
  |
| Another awsome episode!!!1 love the picture, Momo-hime! :> |
| That arc was amazing, too bad it only lasted a few episodes though. Before watching the arc I didn't think that Gintama would be able to be serious but it pulled it off well. Looking forward to Gintama going back to comedy in the next episode, even though I love when it is serious, I'm missing the comedy. |

The serioiusness came off as pretentiousness to me. I didn't like it. Can't complain about the length of the arc though. :) I'm just glad they didn't have 10 episode staring contests. |
|
| that was just amazing. The fight scenes were done really well. I was so excited. |
 |
| All that needs to be said was said here already: Amazing fighting stuff and all, but this elite arc being over isn't something to fret about, since we'll get the usual Gintama quality comedy back! Btw: Lupin jya nai, Zura da! >_< Ah, I <3 this show (and Rumbles style of subtitling this; like "Oi", and "Rly?!" :p) |
     |
| Really tight arrangement to end this arc. I'm a sucker for a serious scene in anime accompanied with a theme song in the background. Well formatted episode. After so long sticking to comedies and neat fillers, Gintama touches its root again back to the past memories meeting old comrades in addition to appearance of present day Amanto. Personally, I love the seriousness for a change. We don't see Gintoki fighting with a real sword (not his auction wooden sword) often, and shattering the Benizakura is so his style. Of course, the dialog keeps me enjoying the whole scene. You don't see samurai joke about diarrhea, image change, etc. often. XD The Gintoki-Zura... janai.. Gintoki-Katsura combo is just badass! Also, Kagura is GAR (ﾟ∀ﾟ)!! |
 |
| Rofl, katsuras parachute was awesome. Also an awsome episode to end the arc |
 |
| I loved the whole arc. This ep was just too awesome, loved the fight scenes. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Holy crap, loved the fast-paced fight scenes. Pleasantly surprised how well Gintama worked with a more serious atmosphere, even though I still love it for its brilliant comedy. |
| I love Gintama and I loved this arc so damn much. ;__;' Also the Zura and Gin-chan little speech at the end was freaking epic. >] |
     |
| amazing episode to conclude a brilliant arc take note Naruto, Bleach and other shitty shonen shows, this is how its supposed to be done! |
 |
| Awesome episode!!!! Wish they come back to serious issues sooner than later... Can't wait for more background info about the three samurais (Gintoki, Katsura, Takasugi) And is that guy who always has headphones and listens to otae-san's songs her manager too? I kinda thought he was the manager all this while. I forget what gave me that idea. But, now that he's with Takasugi, I doubt that he is the manager.... |
| He's one of Takasugi's elite men, the same way Nizou and the others were. They talked about it briefly in ep 59. Gintama delivers again. The final battle was everything I was hoping for and more (including Shura in the background...awesome). As much as I love Gintoki's VA, I guess he does come off as slightly pretentious during his speeches. Regardless, a fantastic episode that was handled brilliantly. 7/5. ...So, is Zura going to keep his new slightly-less-girlish hair? |

But, now that he's with Takasugi, I doubt that he is the manager.... His name is Kawakami Bansai and he is still the manager even now. That's like his side job...I guess and he listens to Otsuu's songs not Otae's. Otae is Shinpachi's sister. |
|
| YES IT'S OVER. Back to our regularly scheduled comedy or a drop will be forthcoming. |
 |
| Awesome episode!! I saw this in raw like years ago and now with subs, it was just GREAT. Kagura was so cool and Katsura so funny. Back to comedy next one, still looking forward to it! |
 |
| LOVE. This was amazing. everything was great, everyone was awesome... (seeing a series where I just love all the characters is soo fun and refreshing)... Gin-chan in kickass shiroyasha mode was HOT. and loving Zura's new hair. was also nice to see the flashbacks.. ah it was pure awesome. I loved every moment... and actually the entire arc was amazing... I'm glad I'm waiting for subs for this series... they may be slow but so worth it <3 |

I agree, actually I think it was the worst Gintama episode ever. I didn't really like this whole arc, it was just some senseless shounen crap with little humour. I hope Gintama gets back to comedy and stays like that for a long while. |
| WOW! This ep...makes me speechless it was so awsome loved all the fight scenes, even in a huge fight this is funny |
| Excellent Episode! |
 |
| Loved this entire arc! Gintama can be serious when it wants to be! Oh and some history was revealed between Gintoki, Katsura and Takasugi. I want to hear more about that, but that'll have to wait, since the comedy returns next eps.......... |
 |
| I loved the fighting scenes! *_* But I probably would have liked this arc better if I hadn't watched the Bakkouto arc (with captain Amagai) in Bleach before. It was almost about the same thing. =_=" |
| The last line was just priceless. |
| I've got to say the Benizakura arc was amazing, enjoyed every moment of it. The various fights that took place over the 4 episodes were pretty cool and filled with action. The Shiroyasha vs Benizakura - Nizou fight scene kicked ass and showed how great Gintoki is Also liked how the episode ended, with Gin & Zura surrounded by the Amanto and them throwing some banter at each other. Can't wait to see their next encounter with Takasugi. :D Next ep looks to be a laugh, <3 whenever the Shinsengumi get screen time |
 |
| That was freacking epic. |

If you hate shounen so much then why are you even watching Gintama? |
| That arc was pretty damn cool, would like one about their childhood too. |
 |
| Isn't Gintama like at episode 157 or something? |
In Oda we Trust   |
| Amazing arc. I loved how while being all serious and tense it didn't lose the great sense of humor at all. Elizabeth parachute was pure win. |
     |
| Fuck shit awesome!!! Lol lol i cant believe that a comedy show made me watch 4 eps with anxiety of whats going to happen. I was really captivated by this Arc and made me think like " This show has way better action that the rest shounen atm". And its so fucking true lol :D Anyways i loved it <3 <3 ~~~ |

Katsura da!' - XD NoyaChan said: Also the Zura and Gin-chan little speech at the end was freaking epic. >] Thisthisthis Awesomeawesomeawesome I'm sorry, I'm braindead because of too much awesome. I'm gonna flood you with screencaps in a minute. KATSURA, I OFFICIALLY WORSHIP YOU. The fights were epic, Gintoki's and Kagura's... and even Elizabeth popping up with those boards in the middle of a climax battle didn't feel awkward, because damn, it's GINTAMA. It seems they can do both comedy and serious stuff. And do it well.

| "Lupin ja nai, Zura da!" "Ah, Katsura da!" ROFL |
 |
| I don't mind the seriousness of it all, I thought it was a nice touch (considering I almost dropped Gintama a few times because the humor was too over the top, hence me being so behind), and to the contrary, I thought they were trying too hard to add humor in. The last scene was the only funny thing in this entire arc. |
| Loved Zura and Gin when they told Shinsuke that they're not comrades anymore. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| great arc.. packed with action but still with funny moments.. "I'm not Lupin, its Zura.." "Ah, thats not right. Its Katsura.." LOL |
| I think I'm the only one who has found the Benizakura arc very average. But I have to say; this episode was fucking epic, for both seriousness and the usual comedy. I think Gintama is moving up on my list of favourite anime... |

It's not Gintama at it's very best, but I think the fight scenes were much better than many shounen I've seen. |

| If that ain't shounen, idk what is? Gintama truly is the epitome of shounen! SO EPIC! Best episodes of the series so far, by far. This made me laugh harder than I've ever laughed from this series...  Can't get enough Gintama! Urahara Out!! |
 |
| I'm very pleased that Gintama has the ability to be so random/funny and badass at the same time! |
 |
| Whether it's the random episodes of comedy or these rare and serious arcs, Gintama always kicks ass. Overall, I liked the Benizakura arc better than Kagura's, even though Kagura's arc was more emotional. |
| "Lupin janai, Zura da" |
 |
| Epic Benizakura Arc!!! I love the fighting scenes (where Gintoki finally used a real sword!!), and the flashback of their childhood times (though it was really short)!! |
 |
| Gintama has short arcs, but always amazing =D |
