Gintama: Gintoki and Katsura vs Harusame

[@smug880]

it's a nice little detail how they both have their own fighting style. gintoki fights like a beast while katsura fights like a proper noble samurai

[@ray4493]

[@EngelAguilar]

"Katsura" fights more calmly, but "Zura" is a beast xD it could be said that even more than Gintoki and Takasugi

[@jamesmcmillin796]

But didn’t they both learn under shoyo, or did they already have some basic style and shoyo improved them individually.

[@chrisroserva]

An interesting fact I think most people missed in this scene: One of the reasons Takasugi sold Katsura and Gintoki to the Harusame without a scrap of guilt is because he had absolute faith in their abilities.

All the 3 weapons Gintoki uses in this battle scene: You can see Gintoki appearing from the left with the dagger in his mouth at 2:28 (happens really fast) Then you can see him use it against 2 or 3 amantos at 2:31 , without a sword, only with the dagger as a weapon. At 2:34 , there's a pink-ish amanto that appears from the front right holding a naginata and covers the whole screen for miliseconds, only to be stabed by Gintoki shortly after. You can see the dagger Gin used stuck in the amanto's body at the same time as he takes the same amanto's naginata to use it against those foes from 2:35 and onwards. The naginata is then used at 2:44 to stab one of those green amantos in the air. By that time Gin already has two more swords, tho I can't find the frame where he gets them, 'cause the last time he's shown on sceen before the slow-mo-mid-air-thingy is at 2:41 , in the general view of the battlefield and he still has none of the two swords. He then leaves the naginata on the amanto's body at 2:47 , uses one of the swords to stab another at 2:48 so Katsura can take it 'cause his broke at 2:43 , and stays with the one he has. Then that sword's dropped at 4:34 but we all know that last one. This all happens really really fast. I'm surprised by the amount of detail in this battle scene.

[@truefenriz]

I had to pause the vid a couple of times to catch all that. It really does highlight Gintoki's mastery of combat seeing how easily he switches between weapons for maximum efficiency.

[@LovinTheSickBeat]

+Isaac Loo I guess he really had to rob any weapon he can from dead corpses in the battlefield, both as a kid and a young patriot.

[@jaimitox91]

I love these scene. Gintoki starts bare handed so he steals a sword - then the knife - naginata - second sword (epic pass to katsura) - then back to 1 sword.

[@bennejame7854]

Another detail I didn't notice at first is that there's a "leader" of this group of space pirates. He's the face paint guy with the straw hat, you see him at the beginning and he puts up a little bit of a fight against Gintoki at the end, and then after he's killed you see the kinda "Aw shit" moment from the space pirates. All done without the stupid "I'M MUCH STRONGER THAN THE SMALL FRY YOU FACED BEFORE" cliche

The chemistry of Katsura and Gintoki works so well, and the foreshadowing is amazing to what happens later in S.A arc. Very well done choreography, and the music in the background fit so well. Amazing!

[@johnrupesh4535]

I have watched close to 300 shows but none of them can I compare to this masterpiece. Its just in a league of its own.

[@hardrock342]

Seeing Gintoki and Zura fighting is always a treat.

[@gaspenpayne6755]

man gintoki's such a badass, during this fight he used different weapons and styles. sword, dagger, spear, dual wielding sword and then back to one hand sword XD

[@johnss9114]

This fight budget can cover entire animes Funny how they do best fight ranking without gintama

[@AangDknight]

One is losing his restraint toward sugars and other one lose some IQ. Nevertheless they didn't get their title for nothing.

[@supersbbrawl4ever]

The timeskip proved that Zura when serious is as smart as ever, he just got a bit loopy.

[@bros_beforeho3s635]

I was there from beginning to the end, every single episode, every single filler, every single parody arc, best decision I’ve ever made in my whole life

[@toneee]

2:27 we just gonna ignore gintoki casually catching a shortsword in his mouth and destroying someone with it? holy shit

[@katkajarolimkova4290]

I never noticed this XD and I've seen this in slow motion before... just wow...

[@vishalimadabushi8390]

4:38 "HAHAHAHA! sARAbA!!" legendary

[@UKEDNHAT7]

I fucking love Katsura lol

[@divyamansinghsen2912]

1:53 is where the action starts.... just in case you feel like rewatching it 100 time more or maybe more

[@abbysharpe1214]

Gintoki and Katsura fighting back to back and side by side always makes me so happy. Ahhh I love them both so much!!!

[@かげやひろむ]

1:55 この音楽の入り、マジで鳥肌ものだった

[@grrrr4964]

The fight choreography is just brilliant.

[@shiroyashaaaaa]

Okay, I watched this scene around 30 times in the last 3 hours. Does makes this even better with Godly animation and the best characters...

[@WolkeDDuy]

Favourite song in gintama, one of the most epic battles in gintama, one of my favourite quote in gintama and 2 of my favourite characters in gintama. Best scene ever (but not the best film lol)

[@baz7153]

Behinderte Wolke what’s the song?

[@iminjungle]

Coolest fight scene ever...atleast for now, we shall see in the shogun assassination arc :D

[@OurScatteredDreams]

Gintoki vs Takasugi was so fking epic XD

[@iminjungle]

The latest ep end has me so hyped...i think i'm going crazy

[@OurScatteredDreams]

iminjungle lol me too i cant wait T.T

[@yatok1568]

+Nozoyashi XIII That was the best fight ever, I mean EVER

[@iminjungle]

You should check out Sword of a stranger, epic anime movie with great fight scenes

[@springtarts4561]

Kind of sad to remember that it was also their (Gintoki and Katsura) task in the past to let their comrades escape while they fight the enemies.

[@syafiq7026]

This scene is kind of throwback of that moment though. Both of them fight Amanto that captured them in the middle and they have to fight off every single of them and they proceed to escape in the forest during their Jouishishi days. Now they both fighting again to keep the others safe from the ship and they also escape but in much smarter way thanks to Zura lmao

[@alik3957]

@@syafiq7026 and they buy Pocari after that

[@mouryasai8937]

The thing I like the most is that in most episodes.... gintoki and katsura act like complete doofus...katsura rapping and all...that when the actually fight you're genuinely awestruck #foreveryorozuya

[@takashiyoshida3853]

紅桜編で銀時と桂が揃う所毎回鳥肌が立つ。普段ギャグってるけど、戦う時は誰も勝てない所にギャップ。バクチ・ダンサーが流れる所が完璧すぎる。

[@ryanriddell5087]

Gintoki still has the smoothest moves in the game

[@crucifykwr]

3:18 one of Katsura's best lines

[@taeko3508]

The best thing about this line is that Katsura remembered saying that in the Kintoki arc

[@medb8882]

bansai at the beginning listening to otsu-chan lmao. takasugi’s right hand man is a pop idol’s producer. that’s why gintama is so great, it can’t take itself seriously (for long)

[@Kahez]

just noticed this awesome "foreshadow" if you can call it, Katsura says "Zura da" because he is in Zura mode, he isn't running he is fighting recklessly.

[@JDBD13]

Every time I watch this I have to watch it at least twice. Once for the music and once for the animation otherwise I keep getting distracted by one of them ending up going back and forth between them. This is just a brilliantly put together scene.

[@JayneCJX]

Rewatching back Gintama I noticed the 3 strongest Armando clan was mentioned several times : Dakini, Shinra, and Yato Clan. Even Gintoki have hard time fighting them

[@yugijak]

That Lupin reference was GOLDEN.

[@atikadp]

Okay, now I'm sure. This badass wholesome fighting scene is the moment I fell for that NEET samurai

[@thunrada6836]

the moment I realized that 3:40 gintoki pretended to attack from upwards to make the enemy crossed his daggers to defend and that allowed gintoki to kick his daggers off and unarm the enemy. GINTOKI IS SO COOOOOOL😭💖✨

[@prf101]

4:39 My favourite part 😂

[@Ditin-ox3bh]

0:11 can't take this line seriously anymore

[@REDEEMERWOLF]

Gintama memed on Takasugi's line to much

[@bi_pride_bish5781]

Their teamwork is just perfect.

[@blip8582]

I love this. It may be my very favorite scene out of Gintama, because it encompasses EVERYTHING that the story of Gintama is about. Also, Gin and Katsura's fighting styles, contradictory yet completely compatible with each other, each filling in the other's spaces.

[@SuperKatsura81]

Dang these scenes and that song! Gintoki taking out these 3 green insectlike guys in the air was so pleasing

[@BlueFlameBird]

i just noticed. while they were fighting, zura didnt correct gintoki when he kept calling him zura.

[@qrowthebird7496]

Because he's Zura right now not Katsura

[@xuan7855]

You know I just realised this is the first real example of Runaway Kotaro that we ever got

[@justasandvich7168]

Kotaro janai. Zura da!

[@tanishathompson6479]

Ok so *Gintoki* has a katana for like 5 seconds.. goes off screen for 2, shows up with a dagger in his mouth, Zura screentime, Gintoki slices someones neck with the dagger, grabs the enemy's goddamn spear then proceeds to kick some ass, knocks someones weapon out of their hand and oh look, a KATANA, and then we got that cool 2:45 scene where he knocks em' WITHOUT USING HIS FRIGGING' HANDS AND THEN KILLS THEM WHILE STILL AIRBORNE, does a cool flip and lands RIGHT UP close to the camera (yes) then continues to slice ppl and be the amazing character he is

[@TimeNeverSleeps1090]

I like how fight scenes in Gintama were animated in older episodes, with continuous movements. The newest episode (349) has way too many still frames.

[@gilanggifari4895]

TimeNeverSleeps1090 Well, this is a movie. So no shit that the animation is gonna be better. Beside, this season has a lot of fight scenes compared to older episodes. That's why they need to divide the budget objectively, and sacrifice some episodes for more important one. Episode 345 has a really good animation that comparable with 304 and 305.

[@MVangelmx]

I wanna see Katsura get this badass in a fight again

[@Pusingoding]

Genos this season arc will make katsura all out in new episode

[@MVangelmx]

Read one I knowwww!! and I cannot wait to see that. Katsura turns into a total savage when he gets serious

[@NinSega89]

One of the most epic fighting scenes in Gintama. The best anime ever made!!

[@Nihonguy]

"the world doesnt always turn out the way we want, changing a friends mind is tough let alone the world" man thats a deep especially coming from this series

[@RandoMattz]

will never get tired of rewatching this, especially the last duel with that feint at 3:40 to make him raise his guard to then kick his knives away its just perfect. :)

[@GervasiusMC]

i friggin love dis scene.

[@LaAsiaHarper]

I have never seen Katsura this serious before. It's hot. We need more of serious Katsura. ❤ By far my favorite fight scene in Gintama

[@Ebrahim_17]

hes gonna get very serious in the coming arc

[@inkedseahear]

Gintoki and Zura: don't want to do Joui business anymore Harusame: *shows up anyway* Gintoki and Zura:

[@gowthamnyshadham5889]

It's ridiculous how serious this scene is when compared to the anime.
