Funniest ep of this season so far, i loved the absurdity of the flashbacks, just when i thought the pokari bit was getting predictable they wind up going full force with that joke on gintoki's debt and it just had me dying

takasugi's messages made me laugh the most though, mainly the 2nd one about leaving him 1 more yakult, just imaging the main villain of the series just acting nonchallant off screen is funny as hell to me

Great episode man, Kuroko no Basket's parody make me look like a silly person, when I remmember it I always laugh XD Before this episode, I've think about Kurokono's voice will be voiced by same VA with Kuroko and that's really happened man wow hahahahahhaha LOL. I've see same kanji letters in voice cresits on ED that same with Ono Kensho

Couldn't stop laughing with the entire Kurokono thing because it was stupid but so hilariously accurate. Excellent timing too since KnB just finished with their own flashback arc a couple of weeks ago lmao.

I can't believe that they actually used Ono Kensho to say that one line, goes to show that when Gintama does something it truly goes all out.


Yakult in the fridge has never sounded this terrifying and threatening before.

Hmm atleast this was a bit funner than the last episode. Then again, this arc wasn't that funny anyways. Can't wait till they adapt the MEGA FUNNY arcs later in the Manga.

So we'll finally enter our first arc this season and it starts very promising. I'm generally a fan of flashback arcs so I'm really looking forward to this.
The Kuroko no Basuke references were excellent. I didn't expect them to randomly play a basketball match in the middle of the flashback when they were supposed to talk about the war.
Sad to see no Takasugi but instead we got our beloved lolicon feminist.

This is one of those episodes I'll re-watch every week.
Even Takasugi isn't safe from being made fun of. Takasugi x yakult all the way!
I missed Sakamoto's contagious laugh and Katsura's idiocy.

Katsura may act stupidly but he's no idiot which we've seen even in this episode. His math skills are impressive :].

Anyway, Katsura > all.

I always love how Gintama makes fun of other anime for their generic themes. xD


I wonder if we're going to see Kurokono. o_o Being Gintama, they are probably going to troll.

Definitely one of the best episodes of the season so far :)

I love the Slam Dunk and Rurouni Kenshin references!

Pokari may look like it was there to troll the story, but it is an important figure in their past memory from the Joui War.

Lol Katsura and Sakamoto still going on with their money from Gintama XD

Shame Takasugi didn't appear here personally. He should have appeared just to mind fuck everyone. Kinda lol'd Gintoki and Sakomoto just beat the shit out of that old man XD

Still Takasugi's laugh is very Dio like which he's about to appear in the latest JoJo Stardust Crusaders episode :)

Can't wait for the next episode!!!!!

Katsura: Sakata Gintoki = White Yaksha
Katsura Kotaro = Rampaging Noble
Takasugi Shinsuke = Kiheitai Commander
Tatsuma Sakamoto = The LOUD Fellow!

LMAO hahaha.

They were all known as the Generation of Miracles! LMFAO.

There was a phantom fifth man... his name is Kurokono Tasuke. I lost it. So much KnB references.

What made the joke even better is they frikkin hired Kensho Ono to voice Kurokono! Hahahaha.

Didnt expect this to be a two episode arc.

ZOMG what a coincidence! I literally finished marathoning the entirety of Kuroko no Basuke two days ago and then decided to catch up on the latest Gintama ep last night! Laughed all the way through this episode! And to think this episode wouldn't have been as amazing if I hadn't decided to watch KnB on a whim 10 days ago. Loved it! They even got Kuroko's VA to do Kurokono!

Amazing episode overall. I love that they flat out said that they had to enter a flashback was so that they could remember a forgotten character and to improve the rating of the anime! Genius comedic writing and you definitely would not see it anywhere else.

This is why I love Gintama.. eps like these make it so godly...

There is a twitter exchange between Tomokazu Sugita and Kensho Ono whom he will took the role as Tasuke Kurokono before the dub I think.

Sugita Tomokazu & Ono Kensho.

It was really fun to see two seiyuus interacting to each other

Ono: I’m Ono Kensho, playing the role as Kurokono Tasuke.

Sugita: Y-you are…!

Ono: I am Tasuke.
