Both Kagura and Gintoki begun their fight! However, Gintoki's fight ended already, and unfortunately, he lost. What a beautiful backstory, finally we got one! Amazing episode.

I am lost for words, can't even describe how epic this episode was!! Kagura was so great in this one, she has matured so much since the beginning.
My god Gintoki and Takasugi's fight was amazing with the transition between the beautiful and sad flashbacks. I had tears running down my cheeks seeing how the three met, had such heartwarming moments and what they are in the present.




I want to know what it is,

That fight scene was amazing. I was super impressed by the flashbacks and Takasugi finally feeling a part of a group and smiling had me in tears. That was so heartwarming and to see him smile that exact way after striking down Gintoki. Oh my god.

Gintoki and Taksugi are so evenly matched, but this time Takasugi was the victor. The flashbacks are so good, i need more xD

I want more of Kamui vs Kagura!!

Finally some backstory of Takasugi, Gin, Katsura, and Shoyo. Shouyou's VA did a great job, he really sound as a reliable teacher.

And I know Gin will survive that but honestly wooden sword vs a real sword, Gin is really on a different level.

And that ED felt so heartwarming :D

Just the perfect episode... I've been waiting for their backstory with Katsura takasugi and gin since they teased it in benizakura 240 episodes ago... this delivered so well. Gintoki vs takasugi was amazing, but I know gin won't go down that easy.

Already my favorite arc of the show.

I was on the edge of my seat the whole Ep. Finally, we get to see Gintoki past. Katsura used to be so mature in the past but now lol.
Shoyo sensei is so amazing, I noticed Gintoki also talks like him sometimes. Numbers can't do justice to how amazing this episode was. Definitely one of my favourite.Also, Both OP and ED are amazing

One of the best episodes, if not the best episode of Gintama. Its a great balance of action, drama and developments, in a chaotic setting that keeps you on the edge. Fantastic fantastic arc, if this keeps up with this level of quality until the end, this season gets a 10/10 from me, which for a shounen is remarkable feat.

NEW OPENING, LET'S GO! SOUNDS EPIC AS HELL.
Oh man, Kagura was on pair with Kamui. She single handly opened all his wounds and Hattori is holding himself there with all those wounds. While Shinpachi is doing random attacks. And the main fight, Shinsuke vs Gin. With a little bit of flashbacks here and there. And wow, those were some of the best flashbacks I've seen. Lovely, emotional and wholesome. The ending where they made rice balls together was just adorable but it's sad to see Shoyo smile like that while he died for their sake.
Gin's the one who fell down first but pretty sure Shinsuke will fall down too.

Epic OST, animation.
I feel like I heard the ED before but hey, It's pretty good!

I never thought we would learn their past since they made fun of flashbacks, but now we're learning it during this amazing arc too?!? One of the best eps yet, although I keep thinking that every time I finish another part of the arc lol

Kagura and his bro reminded me of me and my sister back in our younger days. lol

Cool fight between Gintoki and Shinsuke. Interesting backstory too. Damn, Gintoki was already a gifted swordsman from the start. It's no wonder he can go toe to toe against Shinsuke using only a wooden sword. That explains why all 3 of them are such powerful swordsmen.

Nice ED. Past to present. I like that. Otose was such a cutie back them. Time was so cruel to her! Well, to all of us actually.

This episode was epic and i loved the flashback while Gin and Takasugi were fighting.
I hope we get more glimpes about the joi 4 and Shoyo-sensei past.

New OP and ED! And this episode was mainly good for the flashbacks of kid Takasugi, Katsura and Gintoki along with the current fight going on.
And it looks like we're getting more of the flashback/backstory part in the next episode, great!

Masterpiece!!! Now we have Gin, Taka & Zura's past and now we know how they meet each other. The fight was little but still great and Gintoki lost! WTF?!
Kamui vs Kagura was amazing, Kagura again going into demon mode.

Next episode more backstory of 3!

New OP & ED both are good!!

Tbh the backstory kinda interrupts the current action, would've preferred it before or after the battle.

The balance during this episode was fantastic , use of flashbacks and amazing fighting between Gintoki and Takasugi really made me feel all the hype that I wanted , Kagura and Kamui might be a little bit different case of a fight but nevertheless a great one

Disappointing visuals for the opening, although Gintoki screaming gives me chills every time, but the song itself is easily in my top 3. As for this episode, just amazing. I don't really care so much about Kagura vs Kamui, although I don't dislike it, but Gintoki vs Takasugi is what I want to see. The flashbacks were very nice, finally we learn about the past. 
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones!
