| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- A: Dat Ass Holu fuck, what a depressing episode for Madao. The monologue just held a ton of emotion; I love episodes like these. It definitely rivals that one episode where Madao was a project and wouldn't grow. The lifeline reminds me of the first Millionare winner, John Carpenter, where he called his father that he's about to win a million. |

| Good enough episode. Looking at the next episode preview, it's a bit weird they aren't starting the Kintama arc straight away. I wonder what is the reason for that. |

| And there I was hoping they intend to end the season with a bang instead of a bunch of episodic stories. (I'm still holding out some hope.!) |
| I was hoping too, but this season should end at ep 252 and there's no way it'll be covered in 3 eps. They probably don't even have enough of the budget left to animate it anyway. |
| Oh Madao :') And I hope Gintama doesn't have another break :I Do you guys think it's possible for Gintama anime to end altogether? Sure hope not.. life would be terrible then. |

| LOl at the tittle, but still nice episode to watch. By the way, anyone knows who's voicing the girl that always beside Hasegawa? I'm really curious |
 |
| I really liked this episode. It blended perfect Madao comedy with a pretty touching story. Otoshidama episode is next week. I'm really excited for when they do the Kintama arc though. |
 |
| Slumdog Madaonaire... Gintama is such an epic anime. I kept waiting to see how he's gonna get screwed... should've seen it coming. Poor Miracle Madao XD |
 |
| I was curious to see how this episode would go with the Gintama style. Needless to say it did not disappoint. I cant wait for the next ep...Kagura and Shinpachi finally return! |
 |
| Is this not filler? |
| Poor Madao, those were some sad flashbacks. I wonder when something good'll finally happen to him. |
| I actually thought this was a really touching episode. I was expecting it to be extremely random and just all comedy. The whole story with that girl was really nice. I enjoyed it! |
| Slumdog Millionaire Gintama version. Complete with memory flashbacks on where Madao had heard all the answers before. This weeks episode had a good mix of comedy and serious bits. |
| Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to give out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends. |

| Miracle Madao Respect +1. |
 |
| Haha... pretty funny episode.. love the parody on Slumdog Millionaire and School days with a Pig (japanese movie).... I love both movies.... Madao FTW!! |
 |
| That's why we love you, Madao. ;_; |
| Really hoping, that Kintoki-Arc will be animated. |

| I love the Madao-episodes! The beginning, where he climbed up the hill naked, reminded me of Kaiji. |
 |
| Damn you, Hasegawa! Your story made me cry. T_T Sad end, anyway. |
| Madao, the true hero of Gintama. |
 |
| ZAWA ZAWA also, D: Sorachi Hideaki. |
| haha go madao, just do it one more time and ur good to go XD that girl was a rly sweet too, i rly enjoyed this ep :) |
| What a bittersweet episode for madao xD |
 |
| My respect for Hasegawa has grown. is Kintoki arc supposed to be a serious arc? |
 |

Doesn't really -sound- like it, but since it's Gintama, who the hell knows xD *doesn't follow the manga* P.S. I liked the creative censorship during the scene of Hasegawa-san walking through garbage. Did the mosaic-ed male organs become too much for the time slot? lolz |

|
| I know it was suppose to be sad, but how could I be sad when she kept calling him Piggy? |

 |
| I can't believe they said "Sorachi Hideaki"!! XDD And why the hell did that lady keep calling Madao Hasegawa "piggy"?! O.O Oh well. Was funny at the end. And Gedomaru's coming back! O.O Oh my god.... |
| Good episode though I was expecting more questions. |
| funny episode. DAT ASS LOL XD the preview to the next episode.. it's just as I fear :( they're gonna show Kintama arc AFTER taking a break/hiatus. so upset .__. |
| For some reason, I find these Madao episodes very depressing, I just feel so bad for him. All throughout the question montage I was hanging for the punchline, and it didn't disappoint. And is Gintama really ending this season? Though I can see why it would seeing as the anime seems to be catching up with the manga real fast, and with the way some people are putting it, this Kintoki arc sounds epic so I hope that they do animate it some time. |
 Tonight... we are young... so let's set the world on fire, we can burn brighter, than the sun... |
| great episode with Madao the ending was so win if this episode was chapter 371 only 390 chapter have been released so its close.... hope it only goes on a break for one term.. probably be a year hopefully not because Gintama iis awesome! |
| Nice ep... one of last... |
| What is this Kintoki arc that everyone is talking about without spoiling much. |

| The big brown fox jumps over the lazy dog |
| I waaaaant Kntama arc and a new Op |
 |
| finally another hasegawa episode, LOVED IT xDDD hilarious bloody eruptions every answer and the touching moments actually get to you really good :) |

| Good job Madao, too bad it didn't pay off the debt lol. |
 |
| They really need to stop making him so pitiful. He looks badass in every OP, is badass in most of the times he needs to be serious, and the reason he was unemployed was because he was such a badass. They should start letting him see the light of day. Seriously.. |

| Madao FTW. |
| Madao probably still my most favorite character |
