----------------------------------------
I totally did not expect such a heartwarming episode.
The warden was such a cool guy; that bgm playing when the letter reciting was going on always gets me though.

lol at the pudding at the end.

What a heartwarming conclusion to this arc. Feel like crying :(

The pajama kid scene is simply hilarious.

Next is the collaboration ep with Sket Dance. Looking forward to it.

Another perfect episode from Gin san. I almost cried when he revealed that the old man's son was dead. So touching. The evil warden is so badass.

I was surprised by how much I liked the 2nd part to this story. I wasn't that impressed by the previous episode, but this one was truly heartwarming.
I can't wait for next week's crossover episode :)

Nah the warden wasn't his son as in literally it. Its son figuratively.

DAMN this episode was epic. Now I look at pajamas with a different perspective. Ginoki was so epic in the end. "The prison walls couldn't contain him" Now IF there were 2 puddings in the ending..........8===D

Daww that was so sweet the warden kept on sending letters to the old man to give the illusion that his son was still alive.

Crying near the end and still a little chocked up it. -___-

5/5 for this week.

Let's hope for all of us that Gin-san will NEVER become a warden himself, the poor criminals won't survive even 3 days... He looked so awesome when he beat up the "bad guys" in that special room, I think it might be the same when he was Shiroyasha back in the war...? :)

Awesome ending, I didn't expect it to end so well. I guess that's Gintama for you, able to pull off everything, and I mean really everything so well.

Only thing that bothered me was the fact that Shinpachi and Kagura did absolutely nothing, shouldn't they've tried to break in or kidnapp Gintoki? They're pretty close to him now, right? I mean it kinda felt like they put more effort in helping him when he lost his memories (from the scooter incident and he got amnesia) than when he gets thrown in prison like 3/4 seasons later xD But well I loved the Gintoki main main char moments ^^

THIS! This is the reason why I love Gintama so much!
Super badass Gintoki, hilarious jokes, and heartfelt interactions all in one episode. Just awesome.
Also can't explain how much I am looking forward to the crossover. Ahhhhhh!

Remember people, make sure to keep watching Gintama, or your pajamas will be in danger~

I thought the twist was fairly obvious but I guess being funny and overly sentimental is what Gintama does and this arc succeeds in that.

One of the better episodes this season. It was really touching in the end. Gintama haters will never understand why Gintama is adored so much, because they have dropped the show before giving it a chance!

No.1 spot will remain for a long long time.

Yes!

These are exactly the kind of episodes why Gintama is one of my favorites.
I was almost afraid the sequal would be putting all the effort in brainless comedy, without paying much attention to drama.

This little arc fulfills what the Shit-Tossing Monkey couldn't. Heavens! I didn't even like that arc. But this one was great. Funny, thrilling and heart-warming.
