It was really fine when it was shown and was easily a highlight (Kagura and Shinpachi vs Abuto is probably the best part of the arc, along with Tsukuyo's heroic resistance against the Hyakka and the last moments of Hosen), so I kind of expected more screen time for this. At least, I would have liked some interaction, and some further presence of Kagura's bloodthirsty nature in the story. I am the first who wants his issue with Kagura to be explored and dealt with but his presence in here seems to be only for the sake of hyping. I'm quite honestly getting tired of this shit, Takasugi is enough as the top tier villain who appears and hypes the arc only under the promise that he will be back soon for a real fight. I guess I prefer the arcs that combine serious and comedy instead of relying too much on the first, but the thing is that I have found various emotionally engaging and powerful moments in this arc, so in the end it felt way more than the previous two as a wasted opportunity to make something truly and completely memorable. This arc has been way better than Benizakura -which after a very engaging mystery storyline ends in a clusterfuck of uninspired shonen tropes and a fight scenario that makes no sense- and the Shinsengumi crisis -with the Yorozuya being inserted just because and Gintoki hogging the final fight- but still not a top favorite. I guess that's how they do it irl too XDXDįinally Zura appears in next episode, I need some breather refreshing eps too, Yoshiwara in Flames arc was so intense.

Loved that scene when Ginpachi sensei rejected those letters ROFL. This has to be the longest arc of Gintama. way too late man, you already lost it! XD "Give me back my first time!" ROFL that poor guy when seita tripped and shoved the dildo in that big dude. The conclusion this arc was nice, nothing's changed except Hosen is no more and there is sun in place of him. Kamui is so gay for Gintoki lol, he won't let anyone else have Gintoki. Umibouzo's conversation with Gintoki!! That unexpected foreshadowing!!! Gintoki vs Kamui might happen after all! Sigh, this is just like Takasugi's case they both didn't fight Gintoki at all.Ībuto was alive and he says Kagura is stronger than Hosen? Holy shit, doesn't that makes her the strongest person in Gintama then? Guess Kamui vs Gintoki will take some time. Nah, I still don't feel bad for Hosen at all even if the beginning of the episodes had FEELS moment.
