Gintama 323
Holy shit Kamui's entrance was amazing.
Cuz I'm havin' a good time, HAVIN' A GOOD TIME

Man, family fights are always better when you have superhuman strenght!
The first half was longer than the manga, and i felt it dragged on a little bit too much (that spitting on Sakamoto tho)
Also, is it me or the budget was a bit off this time? Hope they're saving budget for the next episodes fight
Oh, and nice addition to the final part of the OP, i love these little details.

Glad they didn't pull the damsel in distress card with Kagura confronting her brother. That was pretty cool.
Maybe I shouldn't, because Gintama isn't really about consistency in this regard or taking this too seriously, but it made me think about power levels. Like, I would think Kagura's dad would easily beat Kagura, but then Kamui was having a head-to-head battle with him where they both seemed pretty equal. But then Kagura arrives and it seemed that her new state of understanding would put her equal to Kamui.

Power levels aren't consistent but its a comedy show. In comedy arcs, Tsukoyo, Kagura and Otae can pretty much beat any guy. In serious arcs its probably like this
1. Shoyo
2. Elizabeth
3. Kagura, Umibozou, Kamui, a serious Gintoki
4. Otae
5. Most other people
6. Sadaharu
7.

That's what i was thinking too. Glad I'm not the only one who thought that.

Takasugi should be on the same level as Gintoki since they've been shown as roughly equal. Sogo was also roughly equal to Kamui in the shogun assassination arc
Where'd you hear this? also I hope this is a long season (final season or not)

So, it turns out we aren't just getting 12 episodes like people feared based on the Blu-Ray listings.
Sogo clearly wouldn't be able to hold on if the battle went on for longer though.
There's a magazine scan floating around with the announcements.

Fixed!
Woohoo, new OP/ED!
I doubt these will be the very last ones, but i hope they keep another DOES song for the very end.
Idk, i think they looked equal because of Shonen Laws N°49563 by which the long-awaited battle between rivals must be on the same level for the sake of enterteinment.
But i think Gin has the slight edge on Shinsuke, he has shown to be able to "adapt" his strenght to match the enemy, and fighting alone with Yato (Hosen +
) shows he's a tier higher, especially when he looses his mind.
About Sogo, nah. Again maybe if he'd lose his control he might be a challange, but Kamui clearly didn't gave it 100% against him.

Oh man this episode was amazing. Great backstory, and love how Gintoki became the "strongest". His lines to to Kamui were amazingly condescending..."everything you've been working for is about to get trampled by a complete stranger". Waiting for Kamui to get his ass finally whooped, but looks like some fuckery is going to happen with him mid fight.
Edit: Umibozu vs Utsuro was awesome too.

Is Utsuro Gil from Street Fighter?
I agree. After all that fight and lore dump. It was needed. I think we need more of those
yeah. I kinda miss the old balance of gag episodes and serious arcs. Loving this, but now that the Shogun ain't going after them anymore, I hope they get back to Kabuki and have some good comedy for a bit.
Whatever the announcement was, it wasn't incorporated into the episode.
I felt kinda eh about Utsuro as a villain when he was introduced during the Shogun Assassination Arc, but this backstory redeemed him for me. Makes sense for the kinds of tribulations an immortal would face. Gintama doesn't really do the "evil for the sake of evil" kinda bad guy (I think there was one or two only throughout the show), so I'm glad that they managed to pull it off with Utsuro.
Upping the stakes for a final battle. Kinda sad to see how it's all culminating into what will truly be the finale.

As far as I know we have a lot more to go and the manga hasn't concluded yet

Subete no aware
The manga feels like end game though, although they seem to be stretching it out. lol

Yeah, apparently the new opening and ending are just being used for reruns. So, no new episodes for a while.
It was a preview for the new Live Action Movie.
The current manga arc is quite long and it seems to be getting longer, but it feels like the end for sure, its been great so far. Hopefully they bring the big guns for the animation.
Oh wow, I hadn't seen these other actor shots before:
They made Kondo look like an actual gorilla. And Sogo looks like a pretty boy.
Im rewatching Gintama ATM and I was bitching to my girlfriend but the most recent arcs are too plot/action driven and i was missing the more comedic elements of the show. So this good news, for me at least.
Yeah I had the same problem about it being too plot driven.
Yea, it was alot better than i expected, but then i expected total trash.
Watch Da Birdie
I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
Me too.
It also seemed that BNPictures who took over the show had a hard time getting the comedy right, and then the shift to serious arcs sort of ruined them getting comfortable...hopefully they've gotten their stride now and deliver. They did great work on Heybot!
While I really enjoyed the action and story heavy arcs, this is great news.
Can't wait for this season.

Heybot had a different director and writer from the BNP Gintama seasons though, so it doesn't mean much.
Me neither, hype
