Wow I'm seeing Gintama (the character and the show) in a whole new light now. And I love it. This was a great story. Looking forward to the rest of my journey with this show.

I loved this Benizakura Arc! The battles were very well reproduced, and the dramatic scenes too ... this arc was incredible, I'm speechless.

Damn, that was really good! Awesome intense and difficult fight. Ah, to simplify, Gin has gotten rusty, and fighting seriously again made his rust go away. We got to see a lot about Gin's past, Katsura's past, and in general...a big info dump that I absolutely loved. Katsura and Gin sure is a good duo though haha

Awesome arc, I enjoyed it, they give us a hint of what's to come with only Nizo fighting Gintoki.

Is Shinpachi's drunken sword style a reference to Rock Lee when he drank sake and became nearly invincible?

And that's Gintama's first Serious Arc. The Benizakura arc. It was very good.

The serioiusness came off as pretentiousness to me. I didn't like it. Can't complain about the length of the arc though. :) I'm just glad they didn't have 10 episode staring contests.


I agree, actually I think it was the worst Gintama episode ever. I didn't really like this whole arc, it was just some senseless shounen crap with little humour. I hope Gintama gets back to comedy and stays like that for a long while.


i did not like that too. i watched until the next serious arc and did'nt like it either. i start worring that gintama is not as good as people say it is. too much bs makes it hard to care about what's happening

Gintoki against the final state of Benizakura was great and damn he's totally OP xD though it was sad for the death scene of the brother with his sister, and then good way to end it with Gintoki escaping with Katsura, sure that this arc was really interesting overall in terms of action

Great Episode and A masterpiece end of Benizakura arc!!
Fight was amazing and all three characters Gintoki, Katsura and takasuge were amazing. I'm really impressed with how this arc ended and easily this episode is the best so far!!
5/5 Episode. And 9.5/10 arc just amazing!!

And I can see this arc is a setup for future events and Gintoki's past!!

So...is that transformation supposed to be a reference to Resident Evil? It's quite similar to William Birkin's transformation...

So that was probably the arc people told me I should watch before quitting the show? It was alright I guess, better than the episodes before for sure.

Ok wow I am left speechless. What a fantastic arc. This has got me more and more hooked to the show. The animation, action, comedy, OST, use of the ending song, everything was on point in this arc. Now I am starting to understand why Gintama is so highly rated and well loved.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

And so the Benizakura arc has ended. It was nice, loved seeing Gintoki and some moments from Katsura, but in terms of feelings I still prefer the Umibouzu arc. Although I can definitely see myself loving the moment those 3 will meet again in a way more serious scenario so I can't wait, hopefully we'll get that.
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!

Too many emotional nothingburgers, but the last statement "Retreat" kinda oscillates well with the point of view Gintoki and Katsura holds. To protect, not destroy. I hope the next arc ain't this serious and returns to the sitcom humor.
