Receiving a leading role treatment in the Cherry Blossom arc.

After that, there is a sad past for Katsura, who has been on standby all along.

>>4

The Dragon Palace was relatively a main attraction…

I like ones where the writer probably never intended it to be a long story.

Dragon Palace Arc and Renho Arc

I like how the Yagyu arc has a good balance of humor, seriousness, and battle.

>>7

I feel like Shinpachi has started to be highlighted as a valuable asset from around that area.

>>7

I feel like it took about four episodes to discuss how to wipe your butt in the toilet…

Kei has become such a madman that he can only take the lead in crazy long stories like the Dragon Palace arc or the Renhō arc.

It feels like the Four Heavenly Kings.

Is it okay for Jiraiya to be a long story?

>>11

The normally unbeatable Ginsan couldn’t manage it alone this time.

It’s great that we were finally able to defeat them with our full strength.

I really like that everyone in the Odd Jobs, including Kagura and Patsu-an, took down the enemy together.

>>15

I like that the deciding factor is sunlight, even though it’s a cliché.

Farewell, Shinsengumi.

I might generally like everything except for the final chapter.

The part that was most popular as a shonen manga was probably the Yoshihara Enjo arc.

The general’s first appearance as a gag manga.

The Yoshiwara Enjo arc could have been the final episode of Gintama as it utilized all the cards available, and it was that well-made.

The samurai breaking the rule of the heavenly beings is also a fundamental aspect of Gintama.

>>20

To be honest, I thought this was the final episode of the anime.

After all, that cherry blossom that became a movie.

It seems that places like Yoshiwara Enjo and Kabukimachi, with easy-to-understand bosses and vibrant battles, are popular.

The popularity poll edition is already satisfying with just I Am Shock!

>>22

I like the cheesy background music that was sometimes used in anime.

Hot spring inn

I like the ones that start off goofy like a hot spring stand and end with a bit of a poignant moment.

It’s great that Gin-san is probably using his peak physical abilities and going all out, yet it’s like we can’t even stand up to him…

I like animal episodes, but it’s also because Daifuku has grown big.

>>28

Is this the first appearance of Anemone?

>>28

That’s right.

In the early episodes, Gin-san tends to be quite dirty, but it’s refreshing to see Shijou, who was calm before his rampage, get blown away.

I like long stories featuring a strong old man as the boss.

I believe that regardless of whether it’s a short story or a long one, there are no misses in episodes related to old women.

Actually, I quite like the Chaos Chapter…

The actual theatrical version became the Red Sakura Arc.

I also like the atmosphere of the Yoshiwara Enjo-hen movie version (with the three main characters and guest members unfolding a story in a different location than usual).

>>33

I feel like those two would stand out in a popularity vote for a full-length work.

I really like the Silver Soul Arc.

I was surprised that they prepared both the OP and ED, even though the anime only had 3 to 4 episodes.

I have the impression that the two live-action adaptations and Yoshiwara stand out a head above the rest.

It feels like the popular long work “Yoshiwara Benizakura Shitenno.”

I like Jimrai

>>38

The direction of the anime is sharp and good, isn’t it, Jiraiya?

With a mix of serious human emotions and well-paced battles, it tends to settle around that point, doesn’t it?

Tosshi’s birthday party

I think the Four Heavenly Kings arc stands out with about two levels of intensity when it comes to the gorillas reaching their peak.

I don’t dislike the story in the final chapter, but there’s no helping it since it’s already too long.

I wonder where the final chapter starts, after the patrol group?

>>43

I think the final chapter, in terms of a distinct section, starts from the Farewell Shinsengumi arc after the assassination of Sho-chan.

I’m so tired because there are no gag episodes between the final chapters…

There are some minor forgetfulness, you know.

As for the length of the final chapter itself, it’s still acceptable.

I’m still dissatisfied that I really couldn’t fold properly.

>>46

That guy started stacking from a Z-rank character, not just a D-rank! I’m telling you…

I really love this part of the Yoshiwara Enjou hen.

It has felt like being under Gin-san’s protection until now.

It’s great that Shinpachi and Kagura are supporting Gin-san so reliably.

It’s good to fold, but there are too many deaths in the final stage.

But I guess it’s clear that the author isn’t the type to discard minor characters in a manga with a lot of them, right, Gorilla?

He seems serious, and that’s about it.

>>50

In the afterword of one of the early volumes, you mentioned that you don’t hate the child you went through pain to bring into the world, so you don’t want to treat it as disposable.

It seems that Katsura and Hasegawa are favorites of the anime staff, as their appearances are increasing a bit.

>>51

It’s easy to use for gags and has strong vocal power.

>>53

I see, both of them certainly have strong vocal power.

The one that made me laugh the most was the advertisement for the baldness medicine by Seikibo.

Don’t give up, men!

Not happening!

>>52

It’s unfair that just saying “I’m not balding with Hayami Sho’s voice! I have a full head of hair!” is funny.

>>52

In anime, one episode lasts a full 30 minutes.

In the manga, it’s an outrageous volume that takes up two chapters for a hair loss medication commercial.

I feel that Seiryuu and Houzen, for better or worse, became a benchmark for the strength of the enemies in subsequent long stories.

Madao’s voice is a bit too loud, so he has been banned from live-action movies…

Short stories featuring Dura and Madao have a high hit rate.

>>60

Madou has not sprouted yet.

Both the wig and Madao are simply convenient as characters… They can both deliver punchlines and make jokes, and they can handle any kind of dirtiness…

Staircase story

The Yoshiwara Inferno arc showcases the precariousness of Shinpachi and Kagura, and the guest character Seita is just a child with no combat ability.

It’s incredible how the three of them break open the ceiling at Yoshiwara to rescue Gin.

After this, the new Hachiman Kagura will become quite strong, so it’s nice that this was a development that could only happen at this time.

It’s behind youuuuuuuuu!!

The Yoshiwara Enjo-hen was quite a while ago, so Housen was weak, but originally, she should be the strongest character.

>>66

Since I have no intention of becoming accustomed to the sunlight and am shut away underground, there are definitely aspects where I have completely aged.

>>68

Gin-san alone is inferior in terms of ability.

The numerical violence of Tsukuyomi and her subordinates.

Just when my resistance was completely down, sunlight suddenly poured in, and I won while weakening as I dried up.

I don’t think it can be considered weak like that.

>>66

He is a former Harusame executive, the king of the Yato, and is equal in status to Hage.

It’s definitely the strongest.

Madako is really cool as the director in the final chapter.

The long story is greatly rooted in the love story of the grandparents!

It’s interesting, but…

>>69

It is a promise of human emotion in various ways, so it’s a love in old age.

There are also things like TeiTei that have taken the classic elements of the area and cleverly subverted them.

Speaking of which, Kagura’s Awakening is also the Yoshiwara Enjo-hen.

This lengthy work is really a greedy set, isn’t it?

It’s only natural that the outcome would be significantly weaker once Hōsen started isolating himself and getting into the sun cycle raising game.

Considering the original strength, Yoshihara really achieved a remarkable victory.

Also, the phoenix, Kamui, and the demon fox.

>>74

Cloud business…

>>74

It was the MVP in many ways.

I remember the scene where Ito, who is severely wounded and has no choice but to die, faces off in a final duel during the Shinsengumi rebellion arc.

Zura is a more important character than the Shinsengumi, yet there’s hardly any serious long story until the end.

>>78

If anything, I feel like I was more at a loss with the serious aspects than Takasugi, who was made a joke of in the story.

>>78

Be, Benizakura Arc…

Zura has a bit of a cheat in terms of abilities, so it would be a problem if he were taken seriously.

A celestial being that parasitizes a dog and an old man owner who are burning each other’s lifespan candles.

The one where Gintama characters get their pee on a cat’s grave and are reincarnated as cats.

Kiki teams up with Ryoma.

The one who encounters the Hero family at the public bath.

>>82

Other than the boss cat, it feels like a medium-length story.

>>82

That story has a great special ending in the anime.

Despite its trivial beginning, it is clear that the Asayemon arc was a quite significant episode.

Don’t bring out the last disciple of Shoyo like this!

When they’re not joking around, the wig is like a real terrorist, you know…

Sword bearer

A serious terrorist with combat abilities on par with Gin-san can only be made to play a gag character.

I won’t talk about the times I was doing gags and often committing acts of terror.

There is a long story featuring three of the Four Heavenly Kings of Sonnō jōi.

Renhō Chapter

>>88

It was irresistible for Elizabeth fans.

>>99

The friendship between Elizabeth and Zura, which was filled with gags, was genuine beyond species.

The backstory that Sakamoto brought Elizabeth with him.

I didn’t really like the ending with Monday Elizabeth because it was made quite carefully.

The battle in the anime where the Bakuchidancer scene from the Benizakura arc played was the most amazing.

They casually use bombs, but their sword skills are not inferior, so they are pretty strong.

The cherry blossoms are indeed finished beautifully.

I’m not sure if I can count it as a long story, but I really liked the one where Gin-san and the others become drivers.

>>93

Monkey Hunter was quite long.

Yoshiwara or Jirocho

Speaking of which, it’s quite long, isn’t it, the person who plays games?

The flow is: Fuyou → Yoshiwara → Red Spider → Four Heavenly Kings.

I thought, how much does this author love that legendary old man with a bit of sentimental affection!

Popularity Poll Edition

By the way, the funniest story in the official popularity poll we did recently might be the one about the wig’s questionable driving.

I really love how the old gorilla’s romance, the animals waiting for their owners, the man who repays a night’s stay by defeating enemies, and the man who is moved by women’s tears all come together.

“All Zō – Sacchan – The feeling that the general being originally a friend is a later addition is overwhelming.”

You could say that there’s a chance this was originally part of the setting, since Sachan, in her first appearance as the general during the king’s game, gave orders considering the general’s position.

Indeed, the phrase “a sci-fi period drama filled with laughter and tears” is just perfect.

Fireworks Artisan Escargot Grandpa

The cat that’s supposed to die.

Pseudo Prison Break Elderly Inmate

I like them all, but there are just too many great stories related to old men.

The one who brought the story of the old man in a one-shot has a different gorilla stance.

I really like gag manga like Monkey Hunter.

The story about the yakuza heir who was actually a shut-in and committed suicide was rare and didn’t have any redemption, did it?

The buzz cut is eating fried chicken!

The Renho arc isn’t that impressive as a manga, but the ridiculousness when adapted into an anime is incredible.

>>112

While there are many anime that have art corrections or nipple exposure in the BD-DVD releases, there aren’t many anime that have the broadcast version as the completed version.

I still really love the Kabukicho Four Heavenly Kings arc the most. The intensity typical of shonen manga and the classic developments are just great. Looking back, the anime had its peak concentrated around this area with some amazing episodes.

Since Shou-chan passed away, everyone is unaware of Gintama.
