Poor Zura. Gintoki is such a sadist lol. Zura had to run while asking for ride and Gin just completely ignored him.

Kagura was BA while defending Kintarou from the cats. BA as hell.
feels so many feels T.T it makes me sad

I cry during this episode because I have never seen a relationship like that before but at the same time it is unique.

TT ^ TT The Tears... Only gintama can make you cry , laugh, feel weird at the same time. Poor Kintarou and Old man. T_T

The ED song was also perfect, what's the name of this sing?

I almost cried when the old man started to cry. Gintama is really different from others anime, the mix of all genre is very impressive. Great arc.

Meaningful words in this arc, so many feels... and the ED is just glorious. Gintama at its best here, has to be one of the most saddest and random arc in a long time lmao.

The drama of this arc never ceases to amaze me, it's something that stems from absurd and remains absurd, and yet, incredibly poignant. Months after I watched it I still think of this and it still brings tears. The moment the music stops and Kintaro says "Please..." changing all of a sudden the course and tone of the story is an unforgettable little moment, and then the unexpected flashback and the last race with such a weird and over-the-top interaction only this series could get over and build something meaningful of. I cried at the death of a supervillain alien parasyte who aimed to destroy the Earth. I bawled my eyes out with a dog calling his master "old fart" and telling him to die. It's amazing. Just the way it manages to make something that looks and sounds ridiculous emotional and organic. It's one of those moments that manage to trascend, a unique instance of eloquence and skill and a perfect testament of how far this series can get through its own path. If I ever forget anything else about Gintama, the day I lost my shit in the Kintaro Arc will forever be kept in my memory.

Only Gintama can switch between funny (Sadaharu and doll in his stomach), sad (old dog dying with his owner) to hilarious (Some weird Omega something aliens LOL) to fucking sad epic shit (both Kintarou and Old man dying and wishing to die already to each other). So many emotions in just two episodes!

Katsura was hilarious with that blow up doll!! that made me laugh.

Wow, what the old guy said about dying before your friends so as not to make them cry was actually really sweet, bless.

In the end the dog did die just before him, I can't believe he got to the park when he was half dead! D: all to walk the dog, bless.

Gin accidentally thwarted the cats when they were trying to kill the dog lol.

Such cute episodes! <3

What started so stupid, ended up as an emotional tale, Gintama did it once again,really loved the story of this arc.

Surely one of the worst episodes in Gintama. The "Die" speech was tedious beyond belief, but so many stupid things happening. The dumbest scene was when Kagura was fighting off the cats - Sadaharu simply fades into the background as if he didn't exist until just a moment ago! They've simply left him out. (ꐦ°д°)

Why did it have to get that sad ? Shit... I cried.
Bruh... That's unfair! But... Stories about friends dying are my weakness, that's what I call 'the most beautiful thing in Human nature'... 'Real homies'. :'(
(with the yakuza's son arc and the part where Kagura cried because her father wanted to take her away from the Yorozuya, which made me sob the most, it has to be one of the saddest moment by far)

A very moving micro-arc, but i have to say Sadaharu wasn’t used very well. With all of this cat-fighting (pun intended) i would have hoped to see Sadaharu sending some cats flying.

But besides this point the episode was excellent, great comedy suddenly turning into drama in typical Gintama-fashion.

Contrary to most of the comments here i didn’t find the episode to be overly sad. But don’t get me wrong; i was moved to tears, but mainly because of how impactful the ending was.
I can’t consider it sad, tho. In my opinion, the way it turned out was the most happy-ending-ish it could have been.

The old man got his wish of never making a buddy of his cry, the monster that destroyed countless planets was able to be with the only person that meant something to him in his final moments. And both of them were able to stay true to their friendship, cursing the other one to die already.
They both found their peace and were together in their final moment.

What could be less sad than that?

I enjoyed the epilogue scene. Sure it’s really cliché but the way it was made, made it really nice to see Kagura out with Sadaharu on a walk and her leaving flowers in the place where the two friends found their peace.

Another arc that got me off guard.

Sometimes having secondary characters shine is the best way of storytelling. I love how Old Man talks about Buddy when the actual cast of Gintama are buddies of some form.

Loved this one.
