That episode had some nice feels. This is the only thing this season of Gintama has been missing, the serious arc. I loved the direction and fight scenes this episode too, you can see Sunrise put in the extra effort to animating it this week. Oh and the soundtrack was definitely noteworthy in the battle scenes

That cliffhanger though. Yaemon seems like a dangerous guy. Next week should be the finale I suppose

They fucking with a guy that don't give a fuck, 18th Yaemon is no joke.

Pretty slow first 10 minutes, later on it picks up with the quickness.

Next week get ready to welcome soon to be our new Shogun.

"Nobody will ever take me as their bride now."
"How about I take you, then?."
My Okikagu-shipping kokoro went doki-doki at those lines <3 Even though Sougo was talking about taking Kagura to prison, but still.

They ended it on such a cliffhanger. Looks like they'll be saving the bulk of the feels for next week...

Spoilers for this arc below

Edit: watched the preview, yep I definitely saw them for like half a second.

Great episode, but it was mainly used as a foil to hype up next episode. I can see why'd they do that, considering...

NEW ANTAGONIST APPROACHING + Takasugi + A battle between a couple groups.

Great episode. Damn it Nobu Nobu. I hate that guy, prob worst antagonist in Gintama beside Sho-chan grandpa.

Okikagu proposal was cute as it was in the manga. Keep shipping them cause there is more hints later on.

Other chapters that were animated but not used as title was:

Hijikata Disappeared at the End of the Mayonnaise Line and Okita Also Disappeared, at the End of the Total Sadist Line

That cliffhanger!!! I'm anxious for the next episode!

I'm now sorta rooting for Asaemon x Gintoki. They look good together since they both have white/silver hair. Lol!

The fact that I'm a manga reader didn't actually spare me facing the cliff hunger, the episode ended in a very critical moment and now I can't wait for the next one it was really thrilling!! The part when Hijikata and Okita were examining the corpse was the funniest, especially scared Hijikata and Gin's anal salute lol and Gin was as badass as ever!! ain't he the hottest when he's covered in blood ! *o*

Much as I prefer Gintama when they are throwing out jokes left and right, I love it when they do the occasional serious arc like this, because the show is awesome at getting you caught up in the storyline.

Question though for manga readers: With the implications of a new (seemingly evil) Shogun looming in the background, can it be expected that Gintama will be very serious for the foreseeable future, or are there still some humorous arcs that could be adapted in between serious arcs without disrupting the main story flow?

+1 can't believe people actually complain about the serious Gintama episodes....

Anyways another great episode. The Gintama awesomeness doesn't stop. We saw a glimpse of Gintoki's past. I wonder what crime he committed.

You just know that Gintoki saved her at the end :)
That's how he operate.

Did they forgot Hijitaka with the dead bodies? Poor him, must have been spooked to death. We also now know who he fear the most x)

Yay, it's time to kill a bunch of people! :D
Poor generic guards, we won't remember them. They were like cannon fodder.

Edit : Almost forgot, the OST in this episode was so darn good, especially near the end, with the violin (or whatever it was) and the drums. It remind me of Woodkid.

Just from that little scene on the bridge, you can tell the swordplay is going to be awesome next episode.

Along with a mysterious character arriving on the scene.

BTW that OST they were playing at the end of this episode and last episode were amazing. Sounds like bagpipes or something.

Lel ppl really hating on serious arcs? Never knew this day would come.

If that's the case, then just drop the show, cause later on there will be no comedy at all, serious arc one after another.

So i checked out the list of arcs and noticed that they are ''skipping'' (?) lots of material.I know that anime of Gintama was never going along with manga order, but this time it looks like they are not going back in arcs, just going straight to Shogun arc (judging by opening too).You guys think i should worry or just over exaggerating?
