What the hell, I wasn't ready for feels in this episode T_T Quite the touching ending. Getting used to the new opening but the ed is far better.

Wow the execution this episode, on a completely different level from the lackluster first cour (besides the Kurokono arc). Time to up this from a 9 to a 10 lol

Been waiting for Kondo to show his badass side more, did not disappoint.

Also the art/animation for the ED, like damn son, this is some cinema shit

Really liked this episode. I've always like Kondo, and had a great amount of respect for him since episode 86. However, he is still our Gorilla :)

I think it's the first time we saw a part of Kondo's past. Great episode with a funny first part and motivational second part. Kondo is a good man (monkey).

The next episode looks awesome because Katsura will be here!

Couldn’t stop laughing when Hijikata was hit by rocks. I loved Kondo’s backstory and he actually rised in my fav character rankings. Not so fun of the opening, but the ending is amazing!

Great ep. Funniest part for me was Toshi’s face when questioning Kondo - this was an undercover investigation, right?!?!?
Nice to see more of Kondo’s badass & serious side - it doesn’t happen often! He really does have a good heart, even though he’s an outrageous perv, lol.
The ending was so sweet & sad. “Those sure are some warm handcuffs.”

Nice patrol Kondo. Is this guy like that underwear thief from Episode 18? I love that Gintoki's only line the entire episode was "Wait, what's the meaning of this?" Edo seems to have a lot of these Robinhood folk. Poor Hijikata, getting pelted with stones and blown up by a grenade. It's as if Okita has inspired the entire universe to harass Hijikata. Of course there is a banana on a shrine! Of course! Hijikata knew all along, lol. I was going to ask for more context as to how radishes can be arousing, but then Gintama went and gave a radish thighs, which is the most applicable r/ConfusedBoners I've ever seen. The school has definitely downgraded, but it's nice to see one of Kondo's classmates continue its legacy. Kondo showing up in his Shinsengumi outfit was awesome. I love that he was using all of the thief techniques while slaughtering those chumps. The sensei died a peaceful death. Kondo couldn't have done anything better. And now Kondo acts as his sensei's disciple on the side of the law. Beautiful.

The theme of the next episode is... afros? I'm confused, but also very intrigued.

And another episode confirming why Kondo is in my top 5 favourite Gintama characters. Seriously, he's so awesome. A badass when he needs to be but a caring, kind person the rest of the time.

A Kondou episode that doesn't revolve around Otae? I'm in! I really don't get the "gorilla" nickname he gets, he doesn't really look like a gorilla or anything of that sort, really, especially when he was a child. Very sweet ending.

Looking at the opening again, I gotta say I really really love it, both the visuals and the song.

"TOSHIII!!" lmao. Kondo really rose in terms of respect in this with how badass he was.

This is such a good episode, I never expected it to be good. Seeing another side of Kondou. I think this is the first time I saw him being a bad ass in a sword LMAO.

But he's really weird even as a kid.

Didn't expect to see a Kondo's great episode with his backstory, well sure it has some weird moments because it's Kondo so what would you expect but seriously this end was heartwarming but still sad, it's probably the 1st episode with Kondo's being legit good like that

Amazing episode!!!
This time Kondo's past and now we know where he came from. 1st half was hilarious but 2nd half was serious & emotional. Kondo taking down enemies was an amazing scene for him.

Next time Zura returns.

Nice episode, but sadly it's still not the serious Kondo I want. At least he's better than in his stalker moments.

Kondo, it was easy for him to fall into such a situation, throwing rocks at his coworker was hysterical. But for a change a more serious episode about him wasn't bad. Interesting previews.
