It was a hilarious episode. Unexpected surprise! The story was well-conceived and well-formed. Also the relation between the geisha woman and the lord was twisted enough.

Why don't they make these pictures move?!
probably because this is the most action packed arc in the series as well as the 2nd longest arc. They probably are saving their budget for future episodes. I mean apparantly this arc at the very least has to be 6 episodes but it might be 7


The upcoming movie is also going to cost a lot.


Movie and the tv series have separate budgets don't they?

Anyways awesome episode. I lol'ed hard when princess Soyo came in to the prison like it was a sleepover xD
And still getting use to the one Ep a week formula for me. So weird since I marathon Gintama for the past two and a half months. Well looking forward to next week.

Yah i dont see how the movie is going to affect the series especially at this current moment.

The dip in animation for the serious arcs has always happened,compare the start of the benikazura arc outside of the opening scene and compare it to pretty much any part of the last 2 episodes for example.

Is it just me or is each episode eating 3-4 chapters? Sure it's awesome, but I can't help but be worried that Gintama will run off of chapters earlier than expected.

Great chapter nonetheless; comedy, drama, and action in one: only Gintama does that for you ;D

Manga is something you read for 5-10 minutes but anime is something you watch for 24 minutes therefore it's longer.

Anime studios normally allot two chapters in one episode, or just one chapter by stalling out an episode with fillers, omakes, etc. BTW I checked Yorozuyasoul, and I found out that Episode 258 actually used 3 1/2 chapters; I think Sunrise has never done this before. I can't blame though, Gintama's just got that great plot during serious arcs

I must be dumb as hell, but why is the former Shogun doing all this, so as to retain his image so it does not appear that one of his people fell in love with a women from Yoshiwara?

Now he's sending out the Bakufu to deal with Gintoki and the team?

They are only translating 2 episodes per ep, i looked it up. This arc is going to be exactly 7 episodes at this rate making it the 2nd longest arc in the entire series right behind yoshiwara, neither ep ate up 3 and a half chaps, just 2.

I still say they should go on a re-run hiatus again before making new episodes once this arc finishes up

Anyhow really hoping that guy with a scar across his face from the pv will show up next ep. Hes from gintoki's past judging by the op so hit should get interesting

Shits gonna go down!

Why you so pimp for Shogun, eh? Tsukki and Nobume are cute =p

Sogou got his balls crushed, RIP lol

The twist in the flashback was good, I didnt expected that it was the retainer, instead of the Shogun.

We get to see the Shinsengumi! Too bad Katsura and his faction is not here, he really is missing out like how Gintoki said.

Love how when they make the promise with the strands of hair and you see Gintoki pulling his nose hair, such pure randomness xD

I watched it again, and I still dont understand why is the former old shogun is doing this?

Yorozuya, Tsukki, Mimawarigumi and the Shisengumi are doing this because of the promise and suspicions of their activities. But whats the reason on the shogun's side?

Is he trying to take over and become Shogun again? So his trying to kill his nephew?

I thought the same while reading the manga, but too bad... Flashbacks only D: It's not fair Zura's always missing the most epic arcs ;___;

Anyway this arc gonna be something really gorgeous. As good as Yoshiwara Arc imo. And yeah, the most badass fight is coming *Q* Can't wait <3

So many highlight on this episode.

- Sasaki silently shot at Shinpachi (to think that he spent 3 mags too. lol)
- Nobume in kimono
- Sasaki trying to add more e-mail buddy at any chance
- Sougo (being an S) tease at Nobume (Her snapped out at him is a surprise for me)
- and get his nut almost crushed as a result (I don't know if I should feel bad or jealous at the guy, for having 2 girls going at him)
- Soyo hime (misleading) appearance in front of the group followed by the traditional Gintama wtf face (cracks me all the time)

- And the nostril hair, way to go to ruin an emotional scene. Still I can't resist to ROFL

Can't wait for next week, daaaaaang

Oh god, I haven't laughed so hard in ages. Episode is deserving of 9999999999999999 out of 5.

Oh IKR, LMAO.....God I been missing some Gintama in my life!!! XDD

I actually purposely stopped watching it after the Kintama arc eps b/c I didn't see a need to just rewatch 'classic' eps--even if they added a bit of new stuff to it (besides if I want to watch old eps, I can easily watch whatever eps/arc that I want). But I periodically would check back to see if and when the new eps started back and was surprised to see when this one (258) and ep 5 (257) was up!! Jeezus, I tell you it's been a long ass while since I died laughin' like THAT!

Hell I'd give this damn ep MORE than votes if it'd let me, lol.

please dont try to start that shit here, both shows are way too different and criticizing one as being boring due to its adaptation process is uncalled for especially since no one mentioned one piece and also since gintama's creator is a big fan of one piece

Goddamnit Gintoki, you had to break that beautiful and emotive moment by picking your nose hair xD
You're the best.

Welp, it's time to kill that old fucking fat shogun. That dude is a massive bastard sonuvabitch. What a prick, let Gintoki give him a bloody lesson.

I never expected the pervert servant to be the Yoshiwara queen lover. Quite sad, really :/
Losing an arm for the girl you love... That dude is pretty badass in the end. They need to reunite them one last time ;_ ;

I'm glad I'm still at the point where I can just click to go to the next episode, I don't know how I'm going to cope when I catch up to the season that's currently airing.

Gintama is just so awesome man. An arc starts about an old prostitute and her promise to some guy and you'd think it's just some simple stuff. And then Gintama will prove you wrong. It will transform into a dark and serious arc but they will still be able to insert hilarious jokes in between.
