| oh man i feel sad for Sadaharu |

Son_nish-kun20 said: It will cover the timeskip, but it will be hard to adapt the manga's ending when the manga will end a week before this cour ends. Episode's need to be in production for 4-6 months, so unless Sorachi provided BNP with his plans on how he wants to end the series (which he probably wouldn't), BNP can only cover some of the timeskip, or go for an anime-original ending.So I haven't read the manga but I saw some sources on Twitter saying that episode 9 will cover the time skip and does that mean this is the last season? |

| Does anyone else think they made utsuro too OP ? He was pretty much even with Umibozu,or just a bit better, during their fight on Kaguras planet.Maybe just playing that time? I guess maybe Earth's Atlanta resources made him OP perhaps |
MdotO said: Basically that. Utsuro's at his peak on Earth. With the Altana going away now, he's back to the same level he was when he fought with Umibozu.I guess maybe Earth's Atlanta resources made him OP perhaps |

| All that fighting was quite impressive and intense! I hope he'll finally find peace and death after all those years of immortal sufferings( Great villain, great episode! |
MrMik1995 said: Well, sales decline is easy to check: http://www.someanithing.com/series-data-quick-viewGoldenDevilGamer said: Well, it was delayed due to Sorachi, but it wasn't his fault: https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-12-22/gintama-2nd-film-slated-for-next-summer But Enchousen was never supposed to be a thing. The reason why it got a "final" movie in the first place was because sales had a decline, TV rating dropped drastically, and overall, Gintama wasn't making as much for Bandai Namco as it did before. They probably made Enchousen to keep Gintama relevant before the movie came out. They couldn't afford to have Gintama lose it's popularity before the movie comes out. That's what I'm saying,what's your source for this part? "But Enchousen was never supposed to be a thing.

They probably made Enchousen to keep Gintama relevant before the movie came out. They couldn't afford to have Gintama lose it's popularity before the movie comes out." It went from 15K per volume to 12K. Not that bad tho. TV ratings, check here: http://www.geocities.jp/animesityouritu/ Gintama (銀魂) was around 4-6 2006: http://www.geocities.jp/animesityouritu/2006a.html There was a drop, but it always circulated somewhere around 2-5%. I won't link them all since that would be tiring. Just remember that they're separated by half a year in every page. 年上半期 means first half, 年下半期 means second half. Gintama' (銀魂') was around 1.5-3 in 2011: http://www.geocities.jp/animesityouritu/2011a.html 4 was rare, if it ever happened. The reason why the movie was labeled as the final one clearly shows that they wanted to end the anime franchise. It's speculation, but Enchousen probably happened to keep Gintama relevant until the movie came out. That's why they padded it out with reruns too (23 episodes, with 10 reruns, 13 new episodes). They weren't willing to make 23 new episodes, not to mention that they were caught up to the manga almost, plus Enchousen arcs were harder to animate due to the heavy amount of action. But Gintama's anime still continued though. Probably because Enchousen's TV ratings are higher than expected, but also because the anime movie earned an extremely high amount. |

| This was the best episode so far!!! Really enjoyed the flashback with Shinpachi. Hopefully Yamazaki can pull through ... |
| well that was intense.. everyone is so bad ass… I am like happy and sad that it is so epic… even the dog plays a major rule…. |
 |
| Well this episode sure gotten quite a bit more interesting, really impressive even with such an ending! Looking forwards to see what's next. |
 |
| This ep really reminded me of the ep when everybody fights against Utsuro back in the Farewell Shinsengumi Arc! Alright now, this episode is just pure badassery showing how truly insanely, powerful Utsuro is again! Against the full force of the Shinsengumi, Yorozuya and some others, he himself is able to hold them off himself and only sustained damage in form of his eyes being slashed by Gintoki (which is an epic scene on its own). Obviously, the best fight of this ep is Gintoki VS Utsuro. Their fights are usually just simply awesome, especially with great animation. Finally, Shinpachi said and did something crucial to the story in this arc for the first time! His flashback was quite hmmn... Sudden and out of place, but his determination is good though. It's thanks to Gintoki for slashing Utsuro's eye with the Altana-infused blade and Sadaharu that Shinpachi could deal real damage to Utsuro. Sougo's fight with Hijikata against Utsuro turned out much better (in terms of Sougo's competency when fighting Utsuro) than in the Farewell Shinsengumi Arc where he just got completely rektd by Utsuro. |

| Go ginchan! Kick his ass finally. |
| "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." |
| Great action, Utsuro's a piece of shit! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Getting to the climax of the show. gonna miss Gintama already. |
| Holy fck! That was an intense episode. I teared up thinking Sadaharu gave up his life and my heart was racing seeing the battle unfold. So many deaths and so many wounds inflicted onto Utsuro, only to weaken him. |
 |
| This episode was fcking intense!! I teared up at the thought of Sadaharu dying and when he pushed Gintoki back. Utsuro really is too OP. He took on the entire Shinsengumi, Yorozuya, Yatos, Umibozu and Kamui together and totally rekt them. God too many people died this episode just to give the others a fighting chance.. The fight between Hijikata-Sougo and Utsuro was amazing though short. Kondo got his moment too but everyone has been so badly injured. I really hope Yamazaki hasn't died, it would break my heart. Shinpachi was absolutely badass, his shots were awesome! The tides have finally started to turn against Utsuro. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| Finally Shinpachi's time to shine has come |
| Subscribe to my Youtube : Rosvl Studio I post Skits, Fingerstyle about Anime, F1 and many more :) Link In My Profile!! |
| Ayy Shinpachi showing off his swordsmanship! Nice to see since we havent ever really got see just how good he is with a sword. |
 |
| I'm still hoping Yamazaki isn't dead yet, the scene actually felt less impact in emotions. And damn I have a feeling Sadaharu will be a sacrifice in the next episode :( OMG, please no |
| Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Utsuro want to die? And now that he feels that they may actually have a shot at killing him, why is he struggling so much? If he can die without the Earth having to be destroyed, why doesn't he let them kill him? Unless he really wants to destroy Earth for some reason |
| This anime shit is addictive |
| Sadaharu and Yamazaki better not die or I riot |
 |
| yamazaki.... :'( |
| Oh boy, the long-awaited sequel, "Utsuro vs. Everyone V2", even though the original "Utsuro vs. Everyone" was way better. What a great episode, people being slaughtered here and there (Yamazaki, no!!!!!), very tense moments, lots of action, etc! |
| A great episode. Utsuro seemed so impossibly strong that when he went through his rampage I thought there'd be no way any of them can stop him. Yet, the yorozuya gang showed me there's always an opening as long as one keeps going. I loved seeing Shinpachi stepping into his strength this ep! At the core of this show is the heart of the samurai. |
| desu desu binches |
| gintoki pissed at that animal abuser is this the last time we will see mountain zaki in action ;-; and more, utsuro is just goddamn op |
🐐 |
| Good lord was this episode amazing or what. FINALLY great animation in a action-heavy episode, and boy are characters falling like flies or what =/ and damn Shinpachi was unexpectedly badass, loved his awakening! Anyway, I have not been falling in love with the whole star wars action in space, but still enjoyed it. Now this confrontion looks like fire! |
 |
| Man I started crying when Yamazaki's throat got slit :( I'm so glad Shinpachi finally stepped up though. Mostly a whole ep dedicated to fighting Utsuro just shows how strong he really is |
| Now that was an epic episode, easily the best so far in this season. Utsuro again soloing everyone in sight, the alliance barely hanging on... |
| Damn i was scared for sadaharu, glad gin-chan showed AT the right moment. Utsuro is very OP holy.. good thing they seem to have neutralized his immortality |
 「 To other people, I might not have changed at all, but I feel like I was able to change... 」 |
| Damn Utsuro's situation right now is very tense with how he butchered most Shinsengumi members and Sadaharu is also in a bad state right know but at least he's surviving, though it's more worrying for Yamazaki or even Kondo/Okita :S Gintoki was really cool though and Utsuro is probably getting weaker at this point, it's also surprising to have a good Shinpachi's moment with his father's flashback as well. |
 |
| Loved every bit of it... rıp yamazakı and man ... shınpachı really made me emotıonal |
| Seems like the big baddy will be defeated in this season after all, I thought he would be the big finale in the movie. But at this point I don't see how they could not kill him now. |
| Oddly enough seeing Utsuro massacre everyone is more fun than watching them fighting in some star warshit...... |
| Well I doubt any of the major characters died but the fodders is surely dead.... |
| That was epic. You forget how good this how is when you take a break. Bit of Akira going on with that hand right now. |
| This was amazing. The fights were so good, but I don't think Kamui should have been defeated that fast. I was hyped to find out that we are seeing those 2 fight, but he lost too fast. Is Yamazaki really dead?? That whole scene happened so fast that I don't know what to think. The way Utsuro fought everyone was very badass, even if he's the villain, and it looks like they managed to find a weak spot, but I still hope the ones who take him down are the Shoka Sonjuku trio, even if Shinpachi had a nice moment. On a small note, Gintoki's expressions in this episode were too good, especially when he cut that guy's arm to protect Sadaharu. |
Come on man,where is that Noragami season 3 masterpiece.We want it, Bones! |
