THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It’s the Homeless arc that’s being adapted next. I guess BNP is adapting the comedy arcs in a random order, as supposed to them adapting the chapters in their release order.

Lol, it’s been years since Ikumatsu was in a Gintama episode. Also, any episode with Katsura almost always tends to be fun. LMAO at Gintoki poking in on Katsura and Ikumatsu’s relationship. All those censor beeps Katsura said, lol. I remember the Owee arc mentioning something about Katsura having a thing for widows. The way Katsura talks about how Ikumatsu only likes her husband kinda proves that Katsura likes her.

LMAO at Katsura acting homeless. Love how both Gin and Zura have “kuzu” in their name. Lol at Madao being a god for the homeless people, or so I thought. It seems like the old man that came to Ikumatsu’s ramen store before was her dad.

The rest of this arc is more serious that the first half. It seems like the old man is still alive and Gin and Zura needs to find him before the brother gets to him. Lol at Gin and Zura influencing that “homeless god”. I love how Madao made fun of the fact that he looks like Shinji's dad from NGE (and the best part is that they both have the same seiyuu). The homeless god looks a lot more badass without those glasses. Whoa, the episode ended super abruptly. Tbh, some of the directing felt a bit messy at times in this episode, particularly some of the scene transitions. But it's still my favorite episode from the season so far.

1 and a half chapters adapted and the next episode will probably do the same too.

The boyfriend arc wasn't bad but this one is on another level xD whenever Zura appears you already know you are going to start laughing from start to end of the episode. This time around we even got to know his sexual fetishes

A few funny moments in this episode, but allot of it was just setup. The boyfriend arc didn't really impress me, hopefully this one doesn't disappoint.

Glorious episode, that was hilarious.

Katsura!! You almost always know any episode with him is gonna be loads of fun.

Gintoki teasing Katsura's relationship with Ikumatsu was funny but Katsura revealing he was into NTR was epic, I was laughing so hard. XDD

So Ikumatsu is the heir to the textile company? Wow.

I almost knew that Madao was gonna be the God of the homeless people, yet I couldn't control my laughter when he showed up. XD
Turns out he was at rock bottom in the homeless community as well. XD
Cardboard armed gang is actually a thing. xD

I spied an Evangelion reference in there. :3
Can't wait for more.

Never read the manga, but I'm gonna take a stab in the dark and say that the "Lawd" is Ikumatsu's father. Almost too obvious at this point. Nice episode so far, and I was actually a fan of the previous "boyfriend" arc.

Oh man, it has been forever since we've seen Ikumatsu. I am happy to see her back. I really love her character And she makes me emotional before we even reach the OP. This is going to be feelsy episode/arc, isn't it?

Hungry Yorozuya family fighting for Ramen was great. Are they really hungry or is Ikumatsu's ramen just that good.

Katsura insulting Ikumatsu's ramen. Not a great idea Zura. Never insult a masters art. Thankfully, Shinpachi is there to calm things down (which is quickly becoming a trend this season).

Gin mocking Zura about his relationship with Ikumatsu was hilarious. Those two are like 2 children, and I love that. And Zura, too much information. Please don't.

The episode felt super fast. I feel like it is building up to a dramatic ending, which is both exciting and scary.
The interpreter parts were hilarious. Especially at the end, when both Gin and Zura were whispering into the guys ear.

Madao is the Cardboard God. Oh wait he isn't. Although it was his stage name once, when he made a song about cardboard. I guess they even took the name from him. Poor guy.

Gintoki can't swim. It was both funny and sad to see him so panicked at the end. I guess he really did eat that wavy wavy devil fruilt.

I hope this arc ends on a happy note, especially for Ikumatsu. Great episode as always. Can't wait for next week.

Any episode with Zura or Madao (or both in this case) is pretty much guaranteed to be hilarious, and this one proved that.

I like that we got to learn a little more about Ikumatsu's character, especially since she hasn't shown up in quite a while.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

I always thought it was a let down that ikumatsu never became a recurring character in gintama, its cool she has her own arc at the end of the series but I still really wish they could of worked her into the show occasionally like they had done with other minor characters.

The episode itself was alot better than the past 2 that i found kind of weak. Just had way more going on and the humor felt less like it was trying to be overly wacky and rather stuck to enjoyable character interactions. Its also always nice when katsura is playing more the straight man than the weirdo.

This was glorious.
I loved the Lawd pun- it's genius.

I'm so happy to get more Ikumatsu and it's even more obvious than last time that Katsura cares about her a lot such a cuck
I really love the little setup for the arc as well, as well as the details of Ikumatsu's past.

OML GINTOKI CAN'T SWIM XD

Really fast pacing here. It was actually hard to keep up with the dialogue and cuts sometimes. I think I actually prefer the manga version a little, gave more time for the jokes to set in and for the nuanced explanations to process. Still, I think the anime did a good job. 5/5 cause I love the arc so much

pretty sure shes as old as gintoki and katsura, late 20's to early 30's. Her husband dying wasnt supposed to be that long ago before the series if i recall her episode correctly.

the animation is alot more slapsticky and cartoony this time, its going for off model movement intentionally so it looks weird in contrast to how it looks. In terms of actual movement its way better looking than the past couple seasons.

This was better than the previous arc in my opinion. Zura is so cute lol, especially when Gin-san teases his relationship with Ikumatsu. NTR tho

Its been a while since we last saw Madao so it was great seeing him again. I really thought he was the lawd at first. Can't wait for the next episode.

The "dannasama" who supposedly passed away 20 years ago was in reference to Ikumatsu's father, not her husband.

yes but also they say that her father died when she was a little child, or so they thought. but her father was actually alive and visited her every year. so she is apparently even younger than gintoki and katsura.

i don't understand what you're saying about animation, can you explain more? it's been annoying me from the start of this season. and now i'm worried that the last arc's animation would also be like this :\

Nothing less from an episode that featured Katsura as well as Hasegawa. The former stood out like a sore thumb in the infiltration mission, unlike the latter (who was remarkable in an unexpected manner). At least Katsura's incentives were noble. Or were they...?

As the quartet entered the sewers, hilarity ensued.
