That was nothing short of amazing. I wouldn't have ever thought Gintama could be this dramatic.

LOVED this Kagura's-father-and-daughter relationship arc! I'm just crying hearing the letter Kagura writes to him, and this, peeps, is one of the best example of episode that shows how Gintama is a priceless gem to watch and be awed, countless times! I've rewatched Gintama so many times already I lost track of how many exactly (^..^)''

Umibouzu losing his arm remind me when shanks lost his arm in One Piece.
Could it be an One piece reference?
And Prince Baka is the source of the majority of Gintama problems.

Nah, only if the circumstances or how it happened were similar, then it'd be a parody. But in this instance it was just to hype up his son.

Damn i loved this arc.
Gintoki is the best, that ending quote...
And Kagura heard him saying all that so now she understands him.

How to end an episode? Pee on the monster together ahahaha

That was a really nice ending!

There were some heartwarming scenes too, Gin is such a sweet guy at times!

An amazing little mini arc!

Peeing on the monster lol. Is that peeing on a worm thing a real thing that it said in title? and they sort of explained later.

i had a love/hate relationship with kagura but slowly she's been growing on me. i also really love her attachment to gintoki, so yeah, this 3-part arc was good.

and like always, any episode(s) with the shinsengumi is a good episode.

really loved this arc, but i may be biased because i love Kagura so much. it's refreshing from the usual no plot comedy. i wonder when we'll get to meet the brother~ i really like that even though this anime is comedy there are some dark elements


(also, in this episode the brother's hair appeared black, but isn't it supposed to be orange like Kagura's?)


edit: i just realized how similar Kagura's dad is to my own dad. well, perhaps Kagura's dad is a bit kinder and warmer towards his daughter but i can tell my dad means well. even when he fails LOL. this arc almost inspired me to mend my relationship with my father haha

I don't know why people hate a little bit of drama I know it's not like Gintama but you need some drama to deepen the connection between the fans and the characters.

Anyway, we got to the end of this little arc, which was very good, by the way. The best thing is that they really peed on it at the end. The next episode will return to the common insanity of this anime ...

He stopped all that an umbrella. No wonder the shinsengumi guy is scared of him. Nice conclusion to the arc with kagura's dad and that backstory with kagura's brother trying to kill her dad was great. Overall good arc.

Even though this arc was short, I still really enjoyed it!

Man, we got to see Gintoki in action against the giant alien worm, and not only that, we also got to see him fight against the worm alongside with Umibouzu. It was pretty funny how Kagura also woke up and got out of the alien's nucelus because Gintoki was going to eat all of her pickled seaweed haha, and the way that she just ate Umibouzu's hair was also really funny. But, just then when we thought that everyone got hit by the cannon that was fired by Katakuriko, Umibouzu managed to protect everyone with his umbrella, that scene was pretty sick ngl

And that conversion between Gintoki and Umibouzu was very touching to me, it really made me like Gintoki and Umibouzu more as characters and easily became one of my favorite scenes of the series so far

Overall, I really enjoyed this arc, it made me really like Kagura and Gintoki more as characters, and I really like Umibouzu as well. That arc had its funny moments and it had its serious moments, and I really like that. As always, I'm definitely excited to see what's next!

With some funny scenes and serious moments with emotional ending... BAAM... you have a great arc. Loved how this arc started as funny and ended as emotional moments. My favorite episode so far, and ofcourse kagura is my 3rd favorite character from Gintama.
My top 5 favorite characters are:- gin, katsura, kagura, shinpachi and hijikata.
5/5 episode!!

evenwhile entering the mouth of a monster Gintoki remembers everyone to watch the show from a distanced television and with lights on, ok...

Hiji really hates cameras, as already seen in the episode before

and finally Matsudaira appears, and immediately tells something iconic as "80% of the time i'm 100% correct all the time, more or less"

Prince Baka taking credit for what?

Gintoki and Umibozu share a ... odd moment with each other

Gintama is a comedy series but mangaka knows that comedy eventually gonna be bored and that point he put some emotions to the story. As I search Umibozu Arc (episode 39-42) is not even in top 5. It means that mangaka always knows what to do.

Probably the best episode so far. Gin's speech at the end was extremely sad, it made me very close to crying. Umibouzu might have left Kagura in Edo now, but he said he's coming back when she's ready which I don't want to happen! And also they really peed on that at the end, that was too funny.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
