| I was waiting for the Madao moment when it came right the end of the episode. Poor Hasegawa... |
| Slumdog millionaire + Kaiji. XD I totally LOL'd so hard when I saw choice "D: Sorachi Hideaki" |
| I love that guy lol this episode had both, funny and sad bits. Great episode lol |
| Madao episodes are always so amazing! Cant believe it is coming to an end T_T Four episodes to go. :( |

| :) Slumdog Millionaire parody. It was hilarious, but also so touching. I love Hasegawa-san episodes. They're so amazingly beautiful but hilarious at the same time. Of course, he always stays screwed at the end, but his screwage is in a beautiful way xDD. I'm waiting 'til he gets back with Hatsu. They're such an awesome pair and I can't wait! Next episode looks cool, it's from the Ketsuno Ana (xD) arc. 5/5 - Great but can't beat the school report episode from the first season. :) Oh and the choice "Sorachi Hideaki". Win. <3 |
| Nice job Mado but try better next time, I wish he could over-come his rut ;_;7. No one even thanks him for all he does!! Main characters again in the next episode. coooool! |
 |
| My 'kokoro' it's breaks :( Tear-jerker episode Poor MADAO although his luck is very high @.@ Edit : John Carpenter is that you?? xD |

| Who wants to be a Millionaire is an awesome TV show, pitty they don't show it any more :( epic episode great ending |
 |
| One of the best parody of Slumdog Millionaire i've ever seen MADAO FTW |

| Damn for a quiz show episode they sure pulled out some dramatic scenes! And damn that ending, even after winning he only got 1/3th paid off... A good episode after the last horrible arc, so lets see what's next! |
 |
| Madao is really a man.. Glad we got to see Gedoumaru in the next episode ... :) |

| There aren't many things that can make me sad, but that story did it. I felt so bad for that little girl when she called Hasegawa and told him her mother was laying lifelessly on the ground and wouldn't respond or get up. I guess it's because I've had a similar experience as I was growing up, but that really hit me hard. |
| Some parts of this post may be exaggerated. |
| After putting Gintama on hiatus for a while and watching strings of mediocre anime its great to be back.. This episode had me very emotional, nearly on par with the other Elite Madao episode (188). Truly Epic, 5/5, easy 10/10 all the way for any Gintama season. |
| OMG that cardboard home! So precious... washing the dishes and everything Didn't really feel it in ep 188. I think it started too much of a 'funny' mood so the transition to serious didn't work very well. But this episode. So sad ;__; |
| i came here for the lols, not for the feels! well i hope the family can live happily ever after... on account of madao's miserableness lol madao was badass when he made the last call-out finally shinpachi and kagura returns next episode! |
  |
| A better version of slumdog millionaire, I was secretly hoping for a scene where madao drops in a pile of shit to answer one of the questions |
 |
| Screw the joui war that will never get a proper explanation, Madao has the saddest past out of every Gintama character |
 |
| Was the 20 million debt at the end supposed to be a funny joke? Felt like it ruined the whole moving part of the episode. |
Apologies, I just can't avoid to rant. |
| Hahaha D: because he is a MADAO :D but extremly epic how he destroyed the show! +1 Respect for Madao |
| Hasegawa, you can't escape the Madao spiral... :/ Honestly, it was both a sad and hilarious episode. In the end, the girl and her family still end up poor, but the whole story was just too ridiculous (in a good sense). The little girl having caught the Madao 49 virus (rolf), her having all the answers to these impossible question... It was freaking hilarious how she called him ''Piggy'' all along the episode. That's so harsh x') |

| It's funny because I've actually seen Slumdog Millionaire and if I remember correctly, he was arrested at the end of the gameshow lol because he's too good they thought he was cheating. Anyway a Madao episode is always a fun episode. I knew it won't end smoothly xD that's just how Gintama is. |
 |
| Slumdog Millionaire parody, and it's awesome!!! The part where one of Madao's flashback that first seemed like his childhood at school was actually present time and Madao's the guy hanging himself outside, killed me!!! That punchline though! 5/5 |
 |
| It was totally random with a nice story about the girl. This kind of episode is hilarious, you can't predict what will happen. |
| Hasegawa always gets the short end of the stick, but he is very kind. One of my top 5 Gintama characters. |
| At least the girl can be happy with her family now, poor Madao 😂😂 |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Of course this had to end like that. Poor Hasegawa aka Madao :D |
 |
| Madao episodes are always win,what a poor guy tho :/ Don't give up Madao <3 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Madao is the best. |
| I woudl've enjoyed it more if it had ended without the joke/comedy at the end. I used to like Hasegawa but idk, he was a succesful person, why does he always have to fail at everything and be depicted so useless? Whatever... |

| Madao is real Hero. Not this time. :D |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| This was... Really depressing. I came for the laughs, not the feels Goddamnit. I really wish something would go right for my boy Madao for once. He's such a good person and he only really cares for others. Really good episode. I love these. |
| Lmao Madao being Madao is hilariously depressing |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Really good episode, the whole twist with the little girl living with Madao eventually was touching. Also the twist at the end, that he needs to pay of 20 million more ... lmao |
 |
| Hasegawa is the madaoist of madao! |
| Hasegawa episodes are the best! I enjoyed this alot, it was way too funny how all of the questions related to events in his life that happened with that girl. |
 |
chocolaetmaelk said: Beautiful episode, the ending was just brutal though. Poor Madao. The ending ruined it for me... |
| LMAO at Madao's memories. It was thoughtful of him to help that girl :D |
| IM SAYING THAT MADAO NEED TO EXIT EDO AND GO FOR JOB IN ANOTHER COUNTRY HE`S SO FUCKING INCREDIBLE IN SOME EPISODES |
 |
| I hate how Gintama episodes hint towards some change in the lives of the characters only for the ending of the episode/arc to return things to the status quo. If Gintama ends with Madao still being Madao and treated like shit, but somehow smilingly accepting his fate as a Madao, I'm gonna fucking fuck shit up. Hinting towards some character or story progression or character betterment, and then negating it absolutely with some stupid scene at the end of an episode is what I hate. This is why I thought the Elizabeth arc was shit. Can Madao get something good happening to him for once, or is it such a big must to continue the loser gag? |

| This anime shit is addictive |
| I didn't really like the Shinsegujmi characters at first, but after this episode and the serious arc before, they are starting to grow on me. |
