| My eyes are still as wide open as they can get since the beginning of the episode. Was trying to prolong watching this one but couldnt take it anymore. I thought the foreshadowing had made it clear what happened but that was a lot more intense than i had expected it to be. |

And I really HATE waiting so long for it. Stupid Sorachi.Gin-san cares a lot more for Shoyo's students than Takasugi realizes. I believe Gintoki loved Shoyo more than Takasugi did and beheading him was the most difficult thing he has ever done. Apparently, Gin-san knows something about Shoyo that Takasugi doesn't and wanted to protect him, maybe beheading him was the choice that he knew even Shoyo would only approve of. If Gin-san killed Katsura and Takasugi, Shoyo would have never forgiven him. Shoyo gladly died for his students but Takasugi is too selfish to realize that, one more reason to hate him. It's so hard to feel sorry for him and Kamui. I like Kamui as a character, he's one of my faves but I have a hard time feeling sorry for him too. Don't think Kamui has too much of a story. With most of the characters its always been clear they had a reason to do what they were doing, and its the same with Kamui. It's not due to some sad past or anything (at most abandonment issues), but rather just that he believes in pure Yato philosophy, which is why he is the way he is. |

Stormen said: I just can't get into this arc. It tries to be awesome, but it's really not. all these episodes and now every person from his past just swoops in and makes an entrance, acting like no time as passed. And of course Gintama's biggest rival in the entire universe is a childhood rival. Unoriginal shit which is pretty damn close minded given the nature of the world/universe of Gintama. I haven't been exactly the biggest fan of the arc so far, but dismissing Takasugi's current antagonism against Gintoki as "a childhood rival" thing is so much of an understatement that I don't know where to start. It makes zero sense as a complaint, unless you specifically believe that being childhood rivals had some effect on the reason why they started hating each other, which turns out to be, as explained by this episode, false. |

Nono. I only meant it as apparently the only one who can beat Gin in a fight. Oboro? Jirocho? Hosen if he didn't have help?  |
| Guys, so I saw a spoiler at 9gag. I saw takasugi like dying or something, and then flashback when he saw gintoki face before he lost his left eye. Is gintama over already? |

| I noticed that studio forgot add Gintoki sad face in the present. Middle panel |
| that smile.. gintoki,. </3 |
| Man what an episode!!!! Amazing fight between Gintoki and Takasugi. I also love how they explained well why Takasugi wanted to destroy everything in the world. The death of Shoyo really greatly affected everyone. Tbh Shoyo could have killed everyone there with how strong he is. But i wonder why he had to sacrifice himself to save them?!?! Can't wait for the next episode!! |

| whos the alien guy that pulls the string at the shoyo scene? we've seen him before but i don't think we got this name right? Anyway i think he will be the main antagonist |
| Sometimes Gintama tries too hard to be poetic or dramatic. But not this time. It wasn't caught up in words or tried to force emotions down your throat. When your heart hurts you know it's one of Gintama's best arcs. (As cliche as it is, something about two good friends seriously duking it out is very raw, unhindered sentiment. Body parts and weapons keep breaking, but each and every breath is used to attack again and again relentlessly.) |

| Fucking Oboro! >:(! Amazing yet again! At this point I guess we only have to see Gintoki's past before meeting Shoyo-sensei? |
| Damn...so that's how Shoyo died. =( Rough past for all three of his students. |
 |
| I completely forgot about Oboro lol. |
 |
| Holy fucking shit man.. ever since they've shown Gin-san's past about his teacher and his childhood, it all ends with his teacher being taken away. And I thought that's it. I thought those stupid looking, staff wielding idiots with big hats executed him. But no. They made Gin-san kill his own teacher. That's what really happened. Goddamn. And now those idiots are back. :/ perfection/10 |
 |
| Very serious and solid episode! Up to the next one. |
 |
| Holy shit. I'm speechless right now, that was amazing! |
| In the ends of fight, appears Oboro!!!! Surprise! Surprise? |
| No matter how often I watch this arc, this episode always leaves me with watery eyes. :-( |
| I finished this episode with my mouth wide open, I mean I felt bad for Shinsuke and then he gets killed! The feels right now. |
| This was some really heavy stuff man...It felt like a well done 1 hour long episode. |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| When Takasugi saw the Gintoki's tears T_T. I haven't cried this bad since a long long time. But it's nothing compared to the pain that Gintoki must have felt. This fight was animated with a lot of feels, we could felt all the pains they have in each punch. It was very painful, but so perfect to represent their emotions. This episode is the result of 3xx episodes of build-up, to make an epic and unique story. Incredible job from the author |
| GOAT episode right here son |
| The greatest episode of anime ever. Literally the best I've ever seen! The whole series has led up to this. I've never cried so much at an anime before 😭 I feel so deeply for Gin and Takasugi, I feel I've grown to known them after watching Gintama for so many years. How heartbreaking that Gin is the one who was forced to kill Shoyo sensei. No wonder he is the way he is. Same with Takasugi, Gin killed their father pretty much. But it's obvious it's what Shoyo wanted. When Takasugi saw the ghost of Shoyo, I cried again. He's constantly haunted and obsessed with the memory of his dead sensei. It's all he remembers from his missing eye! Now all I want is for them to become friends again 😭 |

| I knew it all along, Takasugi is a less annoying Sasuke. I do feel really sad for him, but death is the only logical cure to any emotional wreck who goes down that path. Shoyo's execution is heartbreaking.. |
treedude said: Tyrel said: I don't think so. Picking between two people: Friends + Master, and choosing one over the other... I wouldn't really put that in the category of an antagonist. Maybe if you think of it as Takasugi's side, he may feel that, especially from this episode we just saw. Well i can't say something that kinda spoils people a little. I'll just say that Gintoki could have chosen something else other than those two options. He was weak in the past. So while he may not be villainous in his actions, i think you could call him an antagonist (someone is in direct opposition to others - usually the main protagonist)......or maybe not...or maybe...idk i'm still mulling it over aha i know it's been almost 2 years since this comment, but you got me curious, he had a third option? i don't read the manga, is this third option revealed by the end of battle on rakuyo? and if yes can you explain more? cause i have no idea what youre talking about, did i miss something? |

| Even after watching it once. Then watching a couple of vids on Youtube, or re-watching SA and FS arcs because of silver soul hype. This episode always gets me. |
  Katsura janai, Zura da |
| This was a masterpiece of an episode,technical aspects were all on point and boi,the past of Gin and the others is far more tragic than imagined. I couldn't help but cry and I can finally symphatize with Shinsuke after all this. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Oh wow so that's how it played out, executioner Gintoki. Not even surprised in a way, felt pretty Gintamaesque. On one hand the flashback felt kind of short, but more dramatisation would have been overkill too, so overall good balance I suppose. |
 |
| DUDE WHAT THE FUCK. Katsura gonna save Gintoki and Takasugi? |
 |
| Very nice episdoe. It's tottal madness now. |
| "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." |
| It seems Katsura is the only one missing from this reunion now. I hope he will turn up soon. |
