Gintama (TV Series) Five Pinkies (2013) User Reviews

Flawless Episode

[FruitsPunchSamurai2323 · 10/10 · 23 June 2021]

The couple of episodes of this arc have been amazing, but neither of them have been as good as "Five Pinkies", which is not only the best episode of the arc so far, but one of my favorite television episodes period. Everything about this episode is executed masterfully. The beautifully animated and coreographed fight scenes, great music, shocking revelations about Gintoki's character for the first time, great character interactions, emotional moments, a much darker tone than previous episodes, and somehow managing to include bits of comedy throughout. Gintama has been amazing for the first 258 episodes, but never have I seen something from the show quite like this. Absolutly incredible.

Perfect 10/10.

Absolute flawless episode

Tension from last episode was good but this one was insane. After infiltrating the palace we meet the shogun only to be supported by none other the Oboro and his clan. Gintoki and Oboro know each other from their perspective past which also is intriguing as we see more of Gintoki's past as the author keeps giving us glimpses and glimpses of it making us want to question what happened in his past. What's also so good about this is usually when a shounen character is angry they usually get a power boost but not for Gintoki. Him getting angry which makes him lose control and focus, if we can't control our emotions our movements are unstable, Gintama simply applies this logic. Let's not forget about the badass scene with Gintoki attacking the shogun, so fast and he bites a sword, legendary. Also good ending to this episode, both police forces arrive.
