This was a pretty good episode. Though I am pretty sure that firefighter isn't going to be around anytime soon. So basically a good heartwarming episode.

That Super Saiyajin though!!

>house is on fire
>need to gtfo asap
>choose this opportunity to have a heart-to-heart talk and open up to each other
>house is still on fire

I like the message, but this episode was kind of cheesy TBH.

Honestly since this "Second Season" started the show became unfunny and kinda boring.
i only liked the new ED and episode 50, the last 3 episodes were just lame af
i think we need more Shinsengumi

Great ep. The sudden yet successfully executed genre and mood transitions are what makes Gintama truly great. It's reminiscent of Cowboy Bebop. S2 looks quite promising.

Also, love the fact that Gin-san was channeling his inner feminist in this one.

We meet Tatsumi, the female firefighter this time and she's quite the looker:

Gintoki might not be the arsonist she's after, but his crimes are just as severe: throwing away old Jumps! The monster! Kagura's actions are totally justified:

Anyway Tatsumi's relationship with her adoptive father was our central focus. The soap bubble metaphor for the erratic and fleeting nature of life was on point. Tatsumi had a hard life no doubt, but at least she had plenty of joy too:

And ultimately she gained some acceptance from and insight into her father. Gintoki, there's no denying it, you are the man. :)

Does anyone know the track that plays when the first backstory scene starts (7:10). The moment when the kids house is burned down.
I've been re-watching the series and I'm very positive this ost track was played more times in the series. I looked all over for it :(

Nice sad and funny ep btw

Fantastic episode, Gintama got even the feels.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

It was not a funny episode this time, but even so, I liked the sentimentality that was portrayed.

Good episode.

This episode was pretty serious, however, it being serious will not hinder with my will to mention the fact that Gin tried to put out a fire by pissing on it hahahha

Hmm ngl weakest episode yet, less comedy but that's not the bummer cuz I've enjoyed most of the more serious or emotional episodes yet but the sad flashbacks felt pretty corny and these firefighter characters weren't all that likeable to begin with
This anime shit is addictive

Kabuki-cho faces arsons; Gintoki, mistaken for an arsonist, encounters aspiring female firefighter Tatsumi; rated 4/5.

Wow, out of all the standalone emotional stories in the show, this one has been the best. I am a sucker for found family stories, and the moment the firefighter said he didn't want to see his daughter ashes, and the daughter said she didn't want to see her father's ashes either hit me hard, she was calling him chief before, but in that moment, they accepted the nature of their relationship, besides that all their lines were filled with strong characterization about them. I feel that Gintoki works like a Deus Ex Machina now in this kind of stories so he really isn't that interesting, but as an observer that connects all the stories he's alright. If the firefighter had died the story would have hit a lot lot harder, but bleak stories aren't really the tone of the show so I understand, and the soap bubles speech was beautiful, I loved it.
