Gintama/Shout-Out: Difference between revisions

[[Needs More Love|Under construction!]] Many thanks to Rumbel subs for pointing out plenty of the shout-outs.

----

** Episode 89 is full of references to and parodies of ''[[Bleach]]''.

*** Toyako, the spirit of Gintoki's sword, looks a lot like a less cool Zangetsu.

* In episode 25, Gintoki quotes [[Naruto|Itachi.]] [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|They're fighting over nabe.]]

{{quote| "You should hate me more, curse me, and detest me! Then you should take the power of that hatred and use it to survive this rotten world."}}

** Later, assassin-paranoid Matsudaira and [[Blind Without'Em|blind]] Sacchan both start seeing Otose and Catherine like they're from ''[[Fist of the North Star]]''.

** Later on in the episode, Kagura suddenly cosplays [[Gokusen|Yankumi]], and mixes up lines from ''[[Gokusen]]'' and ''[[Trick]]''.

** At the end, [[Funny Background Event|a few shots of Gintoki and Kagura]] have them change outfits to something that resemble other famous detective duos. [[Sherlock Holmes|Like Sherlock Holmes and Watson]].

* [[Golgo 13|It's not "Kondo", it's Hitman Gorilla 13. Oh, and it's not "Sougo" either, it's Hitman Sougo 13.]]

** Don't forget Warrior of Love Mayora 13!

** Gintoki and Hattori's battle somehow has a pause in the action when they try to imitate the [[Saint Seiya|Pegasus-Comet-Fist and the Kignas-Dance]].

* Each episode [[Reference Overdosed|tends to throw in a reference or two,]] but episode 50, [[No Fourth Wall|where the characters suggest improvements to the show]], [[Up to Eleven|takes the cake.]]

** Shinpachi suggests a logo change, like maybe [[Gundam|adding a Z or X.]]

** Gintoki agrees: [[Uchuu Senkan Yamato|why not something like "Farewell", "Be Forever", "Final", or "The New Voyage"?]]

** [[Brain Bleach|Otose and Catherine as mahou shoujo!]] [[Pretty Cure|Tama Cure Silver Soul!]]

** Presenting the [[Takarazuka|TakaraZura Theatre Club]], Omegumi Performance, ''[[Rose of Versailles|The Pig Rose of Versailles]]''.

** And in the same sequence, Kagura's dressed as [[Summon Night|Aty]].

** World Gintama Cooking Show, with your host, [[Lethal Chef|Hijikata]].

** The plot of ''[[Roman Holiday|Roman Gintama]]'' looks awfully familiar...

** [[Romeo and Juliet|"Wherefore art thou, Otae-san?"]]

* Yamazaki shows off his badminton skills in episode 62, and after he [[Curb Stomp Battle|beats]] his opponent, he says, "[[The Prince of Tennis|Mada mada da ne.]]"

* [[Battle Royale|This is like enrolling in school and having the teacher tell you to kill all the other bastards!]]

* A line spoken in episode 67, and also the title of the second half of the episode: [[Touch|The Ideal Girlfriend Has to be Minami-chan!]]

* In the same episode, also the second half, Gintoki compared Sacchan's treatment of him to the woman in ''[[Misery]]''.

* Episode 74 is all about references to ''[[Kochikame]]''--most prominently, the "zombies" shown in that episode share the same eyebrows of the protagonist.

* One of Catherine's old gangmates looks a lot like [[Lupin III|another thief.]]

* During the girls' weight-loss camp: "[[Hunter X Hunter|A hunter is most vulnerable when he is about to capture his prey.]]"

* Hasegawa goes on trial because he's accused of doing the [[Kinnikuman|Kinniku Buster]].

** And then Heidi suddenly looks like something from ''[[The Ring]]''.

** A depressive ghost girl living in a cursed Blu-Ray disc is first seen appearing out of a well and approaching the screen, making Gintoki compare her to Sadako.

* In the episode with the [[Nintendo|Bentendo]] [[Wii|Owee]], Gintoki's trying to bribe the other people in the line to change places with him, claiming that "''[[Fullmetal Alchemist|In order to gain something, something of equal value must be given.]]''"

** Same episode: they play a game called ''[[Tokimeki Memorial|Bakiboki Memorial]]''.

** And the characters play pixellated vomit [[Tetris]].

* In one of his travels, Umibouzu runs into [[Mobile Suit Gundam|Char Aznable]], and becomes a commander of his army.

* In episode 167--the episode where Tama gets a virus--you can see a replication of [[It Was His Sled|Aerith's death]] and other ''[[Final Fantasy]]'' moments playing behind Gintoki while he's ranting about the use of [[Story to Gameplay Ratio|long-ass CG cutscenes in games.]]

** In addition to that, the rest of the images also depict cutscenes from various Playstation era games, including a Metal Gear Solid codec sequence, the Opera scene from Parasite Eve and the scene where Squall sees Rinoa for the first time in Final Fantasy VIII.

* Episode 207-208 bears a striking resemblance to ''Kill Bill'', including the music and naming of the assassin assassins.

* In episode 213, [[Hokuto no Ken|Host club manager Kyoshiro is a master of "Hosto Shin Ken"]]. He then gets challanged by Agomi, the self proclaimed "Ken-Oh" of the Okama faction. Upon defeat, Agomi's facial features change and he delivers a version of Raoh's phrase ("I have lived a life without chins!").

** The anime of the same arc includes small shoutouts to characters from other anime, through the Renho wearing their iconic hairstyles or accessories. An example: look for [[Tiger and Bunny|Kotetsu and Barnaby]] [http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_luovr4AdZo1qzqaqjo1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&Expires=1321538398&Signature=kq%2BEcmENlKbtlOAT8iHbAEu%2F41A%3D here].

** Only Zura can make Newtype reactions ridiculous.

** Some people in 2ch even call this the only Gundam show this year.

* Episode 216 has some random ''[[Metal Gear]]'' shout-outs, with the "Patriots" being composed of the "naked" and "solid", which need to be "jacked" in with a stick. Gintoki also refers to strawberry milk as "Meso Gear".

* Episode 217 has Gintoki trying so use ''[[Inception]]'' as an excuse to take a nap.
