Out of all the great television episodes I've seen (AOT's "Savagery", Hunter x Hunter "Anger x and x Light", Lost's "The Constant"), this episode somehow managed to go above and beyond nearly every episode of every show I've ever seen and soldify itself as my favorite. After hundreds of episodes we finally get massive revelations about Takasugi's character and why he hates Gintoki so much. And learning what Gintoki did absolutely shocking and heartbreaking; but at the same time is consistent to his character. And seeing how it affected Takasugi's hatred and therefore his relations with Gintoki was very well done. This along with the brutal fight between them is what makes this episode my personal favorite. Gintama has always been an amazing show, but seeing the character writing and storytelling reach these insane heights was nothing short of incredible, and it makes me so excited to see this masterpiece to the end.
