no one's gonna ask how Gin's arm went through that sword over his shoulder after he slashed downwards? xD
He swung around Utsuro's blade....

He can't, he enclosed his arms around over Utsuro's blade before he striked

Why Gintoki didn't grip his sword when he swung down?


And remember, this happened only a few days ago
He never used his arm after that happened.

The things Soarchi does are unbelievable. I didn't even notice any of this until you showed it.

Well well, its seems the studio really did manage to do a great comeback after last weeks ep that was too rushed for its material, This time they hardly skipped any dialouge at all and the tension for certain scenes were just great.

I have to agree though that some fights animation were handled a bit mediocre like Gintok vs Oboro but overall I think the animation stayed pretty much at top at the most important parts xd

Now please studio make the next ep legendary as well and if I start crying from it I will forgive some of your mistakes in the past xd

I have been preventing myself from watching this series ever since the Shogun Assassination arc started.
Today I have marathoned all but the next episode..
And damn.
Im really really really REALLY glad I waited.
Sure I read the manga so I know what happens but still.
Having to wait a week between each episode would seriously have killed me.

Anyways that fight was way too good.
Really great to see how Nobume had faith that Gintoki would come.
Love Nobume. So much.
Dat teamwork tho.

Gintoki's voice at the end was also top notch. Really hits the emotion.
Props to VA.

I loved when Kagura grabbed the sword and screamed to Gin. gave me chills

Utsuro sees Kagura's potential, I hope that means she will learn to control her Yato abilities soon

This plot twist was crazy.

Wndering about Nobume's word. that Gintoki wasn't the one who killed shouyo and "he is shouyo and not shouyo at the same time"
I think theres something more (deep) in Nobume's words.
Or Am I reading too deeply into it?
Any possible explanations?

WHAT? I've seen that Utsuro in the OP so many times but now I've taken a good look, dude he looks exactly like Shoyo. And Nobume said he's Shoyo but at the same time, he's not. And she also said Gin-san was not the one who killed Shoyo, but him. Freaking what? So are you telling me Gin-san beheaded a Shoyo double? And Utsuro was actually Shoyo only he'd had a change of heart? And all this time Takasugi doing all kinds of evil shit thinking his teacher was dead but actually he's alive? DAMN! Gintama what are these revelations you're showing to me. I can only hand so much of it.

Yea, had a feeling that Utsuro was still alive in the last arc and the new OP.

>_< This episode's battles were cool, but I'm pretty sure that Utsuro had many chances to strike at his opponents' vital points.

OMG DAT TWIST

I can see people getting upset at the twist because it would seem to betray what lovable character was about but what Nobume says at the end makes it clear that Utsuro is not really Shoyo. So the twist doesn't really betray anything; it was heavily foreshadowed and yet still took me by surprise. Awesome.

My guess is that maybe those evil bastards recognized Shoyo's strength so they modified his body and brainwashed him to make an OP puppet.

But so did Gin-san really cut Shojo's head? Was that some decoy? Or did they pick up the body and stitched him back together to make Utusuro? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

I'm hoping the way Utsuro emphasizes how Gin-san's sword can't reach him (as he literally breaks his sword) might be foreshadowing Gin-san getting back that sword Shoyo gave him. At least that's what I'm hoping.
In the flashbacks he's always clinging to it like it's his most precious possession yet we have no idea what happened to it.

Third post in a row... sorry but got so much to say.

I love the way Gin-san only hesitates for a second even though his enemy has the face of the person he's probably loved the most. It seems like in every other show it would have taken a few minutes of motivational speeches and watching his friends get beaten to near death before being able to fight.

for the utusro one.... wasn't that just a technique? IIRC Oboro also used that when he piereced gin's leg when they were falling down.

OMG I freaking love this episode. When Sougo started to have chills, my heart almost stopped and then Utsuru appeared. This guy is such a beast! Even Gintoki was forced to use a real sword.
Thanks ziggy_Z for the explanation, during Gintoki's swing something looked wrong. But with your explanation, it's now sure that Sorachi is a god.

Dat reveal, Shouyo seems alive, but he can't be alive. I am also confused than Gintoki.

Everyone fighting against Utsuro has to be the most intense fight of this franchise,animation was great too.

But I seriously need answers.

So the big bad is basically Shouyou's zombie, okay then.

Can't help but feel that sometimes things are better not answered or spelled out. Like how they made Gintoki the executor of Shouyou (even though it makes sense as to why he wasn't convicted after the war). It's the same here, let's just hope Sorachi makes the best of it.

It seriously sucks that I had gotten the reveal spoiled before hand, but that was still a great moment nonetheless. I just have one more spoiler to catch up to within these last two episodes and I can go back to having Gintama filled with suspense.

Shoyo? That's Shoyo? But not Shoyo at the same time? That's interesting. Gin was familiar with how the man fought, so, in a way that was Shoyo? Okita is so powerful though, jesus how did he even get that strong...

Holy hell!! That reveal! It's execution was perfect. Sucks that I got spoiled for it beforehand but the episode was still god-tier. Didn't expect him to be so OP. Man Kagura, Sougo and Nobume together couldn't even land a scratch on him. You know shit is going down hard when even Sougo is shivering in fear.
Gintoki's face after he saw Utsuro's face and all the memories flashing before him was so sad. And how he recovered so quickly and that line
"But our sword can. Begone, specter" was awesome.
Kagura was fantastic in this episode, especially when she stopped that sword with her hands.
I really hope Nobume or Sasaki won't die but from that preview there doesn't seem much hope.




I want to know what it is,
