Finally! The serious fight has started!
Oboro's voice actor is Kazuhiko Inoue.
I knew he sounded so familiar (Kakashi of Naruto).
And this is so linked to Gintoki and Shoyo-sensei.

It was sad to see Gintoki, Katsura, and Takasugi mourning on Shoyo-sensei's decapitated head.

This is probably the most we got to see out of Gintokis past. Gintoki, Zura, and Takasugi.. I really want those 3 to team up in the future.
gintoki and katsura teaming up with takasugi? Yah right thats never gonna happen, especially since katsura and gintoki both at the same time vowed to kill takasugi the next time they met back in benikazura


Anyhow what to say, this episode was fucking amazing, action was amazing, music was great as always, the new villain looks interesting both in appearance and personality as well as relations to gintoki,

Also apparantly this 1 ep ate up about 4 chapters while the others ate up 2 each, only 6 left, so this may really be the climax next week

That's true, and Takasugi is also the main antagonist. Well I'm looking forward to learning more about their pasts.

Oryaaaaa! An episode that truly deserves to be called epic! Huge budget dumps with the excellent combat animation. Wasn't expecting this arc to tie in with Gintoki's past either, it really made my day! :D

A bit disappointed. The material is just epic, but the animation is still not that well-done. I can believe they were saving money in previous episodes, but this episode didn't seem like a right place to save money in.
However, it was still a great episode. 5/5, but not as good as Gintama usually is. And I still hope they will make next episode better than this one was.

This anime is setting a new standard for me. I wish it was possible to give it a score higher than a 10. It is possibly that only anime in the world that ever made me say out loud, "Holy f***" and wanting more. I go from tears, laughter, to excited.

I'm guessing that everyone agreed this episode was sick, considering that there isn't any vote on the poll below a 5 out of 5. Gintama knows action.

Are you freaking shitting me? The animation in this ep was superb throughout. Even down to how the hair moved to the fighting to the blood splattering, to basic movement to everything.

Also when it says its reaching its climax next week does that mean this arc is really ending in 1 more episode? or is it going to be like yoshiwara or red spider where the fighting comes to end for 1 ep and then the final ep of the arc is a epilogue, cause this being only 4 episodes seems like kind of a waste

It was still good, but I strongly believe it could be better, and I believe it actually was a bit better before. Don't you agree that Gintama can be even better than it is now?

The two words, the only two words that came out of my mouth at the end of that episode were "Fuck me" and for good reason at that.

This is probably one of the best episodes of Gintama I've ever seen. I've seen Gintoki get mad before, but never so mad that he broke through a metal sword with his teeth. His freaking teeth!

I almost find it ridiculous that they stopped the fighting for a good three minutes to explain backstory. "Oh, Tsu-kii, you don't know what happened? Here let's stop fighting and start talking about this. Gather round, we'll pass out some milk and cookies if you're good!" I think it's almost worse that Oboro joined in with giving backstory. So ridiculous.

That said, I heartily enjoyed the backstory we were given in this episode, I really love hearing about Gintoki's past. And it's going to be very interesting to see the exact story behind him and Oboro, even if all we get are snippets of a fight.

It might sound weird, but when Gintoki almost dies (or any other popular character, really), you know it's a good episode. And seriously, this episode was great. I love how both the police forces jump in at the very end. Can't wait for the climax next week, especially because the only real place this has to go is up.

I seriously put this at the top of my "Favorite Gintama episodes" list.

Yeah I was kinda disappointed too. Some scenes were just still pictures and others were somewhat oddly animated. Still a great episode though.

This arc is amazing and miraculous. It was very intense and serious without going too dark nor heavy. It was full of breathtaking and thrilling moments, yet it was very enjoyable without going nasty. Despite lots of gore, it was not depressing nor disgusting. The story development was flowing and convincing without being forced. Everything was perfectly well-balanced.

Jesus fucking christ, I don't think I've seen Gintoki this angry since the Devas arc. o.o

Tsukuyo and Nobume were kicking some ass (That was actually badass, mind you), even though I still don't like Nobume.

Oboro, you are gonna get your fucking ass killed!

*ahem* Anywaaaay, can't wait for next week! ^^

That's not opinionated information though. Whether the animation is good or not isn't going to differ just because you think it would. And DJIzzyIzzyHitler is right, the animation in this episode was fantastic.

Amazing episode. Loved the funny bits in the first half and the absolutely badass moments in the second. Animation was top notch as well, and it was great to learn a bit more about Gintoki's past.

Hmmm, I won't comment on the animation but the art in this episode is surely more detailed than usual, especially in the flashback scenes. But then again, Gintama isn't known for its visual quality anyways.

Or maybe the staff is busy with the movie?

THIS EPISODE! OMG! I HAD MY HEART AT MY THROAT!

Tsukki in her sexy best, taking out those gunmen with her kunai. So badass.

Nobume is becoming more and more one of my favourites in Gintama. Why the females in this anime rock so much?!

Kagura following Gintoki's lead and syncing when they were about to fire the cannon through the castle wall, I so love that thing about her!

Everyone tends to forget that Shinpachi is actually a master of swordsmanship himself. It just that he is surrounded by so many monsters that he looks quite the weakling, in reality, he can probably take on 3 or 4 average opponents at a time.

Gintoki losing it and transforming to that overkill mode! Damn so awesome! Shiroyasha in his overkill mode is still so freaken awesome!

And we get to see Shoyo-sensei and with that Gintoki's past! I so adore these episodes. Touching, yet motivating and keeps me on my toe with Gintama!

And like many of you here, I want to see Zura so badly in this arc! He may be the stupidest character in the anime, but his swordsmanship is probably only second to Gintoki. Can I be too wishful and hope he appears at some point in the arc? Even as standby?

Still love the ED no matter what many of you say!

Oh! Almost forgot, "Good Morning". "This is the Police." Next episode will be crazy awesome!

its ok this episode made me really hyper and want to scream out to the world that it was fucking epic too, But we must refrain ourselves from the rapage of other's eyes, but its ok, you did not put it in some annoying pink or blue text, that would have been truly painful.

Looks like we have a new extremely tough enemy for Gin-san and I'm also sensing a three-way battle that might happen in the future between him and his allies, Takasugi/Kamui's group and Oboro's group plus the Tendoshu. Anyway, I'll give this episode 9.5/10 because we are missing ONE important person...WTF IS ZURA!?

Zura is on standby lol.

Great episode as always, full of actions and Gintama ladies shows their fangs! Nobume sure knows a lot of thing, well not a surprise when you know that she was
.

I wished they extend the part about Shoyo. It was kinda short.Gintoki seems to always get his ass kicked when he go Shiro Yasha, first during the 4 Devas Arc and now this but he will always wins when he is calm.


Can't wait for that arsehole Sadasada to get what he deserves.


1) 4 Devas Arc - gintoki WOODEN sword break...if he used a real sword it might make a difference

2) this arc.. he was hit in the pressure point (1 arm and 1 leg) and not only that it has poison and can paralyze a normal person

i guess they always make some reason for gintoki to lose after going into shiroyasha mode.. to make him not OP..
maybe because the fight will be over in just a few seconds when gintoki go berserk

Seriously though, lol, that was one helluva boss episode! Love it when Gin-chan gets all psycho White Yaksha on mofos, lol. (Idk, I'm kink sadistic like that, lmao)




I love these battle arcs, that's where you really get to see everyone's badassery shine, lol. Plus, I'm pretty glad that this arc touch on a lot more of Gintoki's past w/ his sensei and all. You finally get an understanding of what happen to him (at least a bit more) and why it made Gintoki, Zura and Takasugi the men they are.

That certainly is, the most badass scene in this episode.

I can foresee Gintoki is gonna go Badass Rage Mode. He's already pissed, and will be pissed even more. Though I wonder how he can survive that poison, he did lost alot of blood.

We find out some parts of Gintoki's history in the war.

Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi joined the battle! Shits gonna go down!
