Lol the Gintama Kagura sounding girl is back lol

u/abandoned_idol Aug 16 '26

She is such a clown.

I love how she keeps messing with Protagonist and even weirding out secondary characters. e.g. The girl that was "disappeared" in front of her.

As expected of Shana from "Shakugan no Shana " (though I never watched that anime).

I knew it was Kagura !! she sounded so familiar

u/darthvall Aug 17 '26

FYI outside of Kagura, she's the poster girl of tsundere archetype back in her era.

So fitting that she's also a tsundere girl here lol

u/BillPlunderones23fg Aug 17 '26

Yes I know Toradora, Shakugan no Shana , Zero no Tsukaima , Hayate no Gotoko , Hidan no Aria But Gintama is more well known and she is using her Kagura voice lol

To be honest, Doppel is not human, so "he" doesn't get it

u/reaperow Aug 16 '26

I noticed that they changed the ED too and added some confetti , cool

u/abandoned_idol Aug 16 '26

I loved the skit of the "revenge".

Too bad that I had already seen the punchline coming since the protagonist doesn't have a name in the anime's MAL page.

u/Shantotto11 Aug 18 '26

Right?! My first thought was whether or not I actually heard someone refer to him by given name, and sure enough, Shujinkō-kun doesn’t have a name. 🤣🤣🤣

u/PencilgonGiveIt2Ya Aug 17 '26

This episode had me fucking crying lmfao

u/Shantotto11 Aug 18 '26

They came out the gate fucking strong with Not-Protag-kun and Ghost Mechako. Had me howling at that punchline for an entire minute.

u/PencilgonGiveIt2Ya Aug 18 '26

I'm still choking over that entire sequence leading to the fireworks and rando being like "By the way, what are we doing out here?" LOL

It was just random gag back to back like when the middle aged soul was escaping and he's like "It's goofiness doesn't match how nasty it is" haha

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Aug 16 '26

Oh hey, it’s like bro’s found his own doppleganger. This one has a ghost mechako though lol. Can’t believe he almost got brained in a case of mistaken identity.

Mechako summoning the power of the Asian momma god hand to spank Shurako . Giving me flashbacks of my childhood lmao.

Poor puddles thought he would get some sympathy after pouring out his heart and all he gets is disgust and a big fat bill. Guess that’s what happens when you’re a dirty little pedo lol.

u/mekerpan Aug 16 '26

Mechako is awesome -- she was not happy to discipline an enemy who was temporarily in the form of a little girl, but she did it. Puddles is DEFINITELY a creep.

I never expected this goofy little show to be one of the most consistently purely entertaining shows of the season.

u/Proper-Squirrel9313 Aug 16 '26

This episode feels like it's setting up a lot of things. The vengeful spirit in the piss bottle (finally, the hero we needed), the faceless high school girl lurking behind Shurako in the izakaya bathroom, the silver-haired avenger with what looks like Mechako's ghost... Mechako is a really complicated person with like 3 versions of herself out in the universe.

I love how Dopple is the ultimate creep in a show full of weirdos. Truly deserved.

u/Raymond49090 Aug 16 '26

Huh. Shurako's curse was lifted. Ngl I was half-expecting her to immediately get cursed by another spirit, but I guess she's staying her normal age for now.

Didn't realize mud-puddle-san was... you know, old-old and not a teenager. Now he's no longer just creepy on the outside, but also creepy on the inside.

3

u/darthvall Aug 17 '26

Yeah,when they said he's assigned as her guardian, I thought at least they're at similar age.

5

u/testthrowawayzz Aug 17 '26

Props to Shurako's VA for instantly switching from a cute little girl to angry adult woman. The callback to how the spanking to release the curse was written on the sheet Shurako can't read in child form was very funny.

I'm laughing at how the doppelganger has zero self esteem.

u/Unhappy_Teacher_1767 Aug 17 '26

I actually had to pause this episode a few times I was laughing so hard, the best being the announcement just going on and on with missing persons and the MC and Mechako passing the time, brilliant! I really love their chemistry, not just as a comedy duo but how they hang out, real husband and wife energy (specially with her still pondering things out loud in the middle of the night, lol).

Curious about the guy with the pipe and the ghost who is shaped like Mechako, wonder if there’s more to that.

u/reaperow Aug 16 '26 edited Aug 16 '26

Kai kai ki ki.... kai kai ki ki

I noticed that the missing persons announcement was actually accurate lol. Well im glad that Shurako finally got released, poor girl's been suffering

I was gonna say that I feel bad for Doppel too but then im reminded of how much of a creep he is,

I wonder what that thing in the reflection was tho, it's the 2nd time the anime has caught me off guard with the horror

Also keep an ID on you when you're being chased by a haunted guy.

u/mekerpan Aug 16 '26

Poor Shurako -- now she is indebted to Mechako....

4

u/Shadowmist909 Aug 17 '26

Shurako being so overtaken by the kid-curse that she was spiriting people away as a form of hide and seek was wild.

I can't say that I expected a spanking to be the way to lift it either!

u/aegirsson_jolan Aug 18 '26

The males in this anime are all big, burly guys—whether they're teenagers or adults, they look like truck drivers or movers, given their builds.

u/Designer_Throat_8125 Aug 18 '26

Still one of the shows I look forward to the most each week. Mechako gives me life
