So actually, Gintama S4 ep 35 is the start of this one arc, which is the beginning of the real heavy plot in Gintama. And this plot keeps continuing in further seasons until Gintama The Final, regardless of serious/comedy moments or not. The point is, plot is taking places.
However despite the constant "serious" side of Gintama starting from s4 and onwards, season 6 alone is out of place. S6 or Slip Arc is all comedic episodes, which doesn't hv anything to do with Gintama plot that's currently going on. Chronologically despite its release date, season 6 takes place BEFORE ep 35 of s4, or basically before the real thing happens. After finishing s5, they decided to animate the unused chapters into season 6, hence the plot-unrelated.
Anyway, with the plot going on in this order: s4 -> s5 -> s7 (Silver Soul Arc) -> Semi Final -> The Final, watching season 6 in the middle of these will interrupt the serious mood.
So what I want to say is, if you think you don't want to break the flow of the plot, it's better to watch the whole season 6 BEFORE you reached s4 ep 35. On the other hand, if you think you need a break from the seriousness in s4 and s5 or you simply don't care about the interruption, you can proceed to watch s6 after s5 as how you would normally do with other anime in their seasonal order.
This is only an advice. You don't hv to follow if you don't want to ofc :)
