guahaha, what a tool, I can't stop laughing at that guy's baby face, wth XD

I'm really excited for this arc, it's getting serious~ and thorny.. lol
But seriously, they really dropped the ball with Hijikata's past there, holy crap. If feel like that deserved a better setup, not that I'm crazy about melodrama, but holy hell...

Loving this arc so far!
We've learned a lot about Hijikata's past now! Pretty damn sad!
I'm really excited for next week!

Also, wtf? Gintoki was arrested for "interfering"? He was hit by their car!!

Wow, I'm looking forward to this arc! It seems to be a semi-serious one?

Hijikata's past wasn't exactly happy as it was, and now there's even more tragedy D: Poor guy... But that makes him all the more admirable.
I love seeing the characters pasts in Gintama; it never fails!

No doubt this will be a serious arc, though it was a bit hard to take Kondo's speech about Hijikata's past seriously when I'm busy laughing my head off at the idiots playing basketball for no reason.

Welcome to Gintama, where ridiculousness and stupidity knows no bounds.

Hijikata is so cool!~ <3
Chibi Hijikata is so cute..

The idiots playing basketball were indeed distracting (zaki is so cute =P)... I wished they had expanded more on (and gave more screen time to) Hijikata's past...

Very good episode, now we know more about Toshi's story :D (more to come)
Also, I laughed on cigarette name "Marlboro->Mayoboro" lol
and when the guy from the Mimawarigumi exchanged phone address with Toshi, he said: "I don't have many friends.."; it remembered me "Haganai" xD

I'm not surprised they actually said "Fuck" in English, but I thought that was the best. XD

Baby face without the facial hair!! And Hijikata's past was pretty scary. ;w; But it was also interesting.

"Miwasengumi (don't remember the full name >.<) leader is incredible." No, I think he's just an ass. XD

I'm glad I'm not the only one who caught that. I was hoping for a Hanamichi or Rukawa to be there too.

This arc is pretty cool so far, but as everyone else said the setup for Hijiakata's story wasn't the best.

You know, the real world Mimawarigumi's leader planned the assassination of Sakamoto Ryouma. Sakamoto Ryouma = Sakamoto Tatsuma. So maybe a possible appearance from Kaientai?

Hijikata is my second favorite character and any serious arc or comedic episode relating to the Shinsengumi is automatic win.

Loved this episode, I'm sure this arc will be epic.

Sad to hear Toshi's background story but it does fit his character... I think it's very like him to try and help that useless guy, he's a nice person deep down after all :)

I'm curious what role Gintoki will have in the arc though, I have no idea so far...
