EVERY SINGLE GINTAMA OPENING AND ENDING ANALYZED

[thread:]

I never did one of these before, I will be filling the thread while analyzing the OP/ED so it will take me a while.

OPENING 1 - PRAY:

Such a good first opening, presenting us our protagonists and what they like or how they are.

They show us a bit of Gintoki's past and him trying to "forget it?"

he's dreaming about his past, this reminds me of this scene in the anime/manga... foreshadowing!

the cool thing about this is that when he wakes up everyone is there with him :)
this is a very powerful message and used tons of times throughout the series.

and there's not much more to say... more characters!

OPENING 2 - TOOI NIOI

this one doesn't have so much material... cool joui 4 appearance!

new characters are shown too!

OPENING 3 - GINIRO NO SORA

Gintoki looking back represents his past and looking forward the reality that he lives now...

cool Bleach reference here, Gintoki was dreaming about using bankai lmao
new characters are shown too!

OPENING 4 - KASANARU KAGE

Kagura on his planet! Captain Katsura!

cool madao and his wife Hatsu, at the background there is a family, it probably represents the possible family that they could have formed if everything had worked out well... (not sure lmao)

at the first time, we didn't know whose hand was holding Otae.

Takasugi, Bansai and Itou here. This is great because Itou doesn't even appear in the episodes where this opening plays (I think this was explained in the anime)

Kyuubei!!!!

OPENING 5 - DONTEN

EVERYONE IS SERIOUS HERE!

ITOU!!! (now for real)

joui 4 fighting!! raw kino swag goat!!

again, Gintoki was thinking about his past, and again everyone is here with him again :)

a cool thing about this opening is that "donten" means "cloudy weather" and the whole opening is cloudy but when Gintoki stops thinking about his past and Kagura and Shinpachi appear, the sun appears!!! :)

OPENING 6 - ANATA MAGIC

this one has not too much material...
look! it seems like they're in the same place that in the first opening!!!!

again, Gintoki thinking about his past, new characters too! Toujou! Kamui!

OPENING 7 - STAIRWAY GENERATION

this one is a personal favourite...
I LOVE the method they use to introduce the characters in this OPENING, Gintoki running away from Otose while everyone while everyone wants to meet him ??? it's genious!

everyone is here!

LOOK! ABUTO IS HERE!

Hijikata transforming into Toshi is so cool!

OPENING 8 - Light Infection

Look! Gintoki is at the place where he met Shouyou for the first time!

Gintoki and Shouyou in Shoka Sonjuku in the past.
Gintoki in Shoku Sonjuku in the present. </3

Kagura in her planet and Shinpachi training!

we already know this cool transition but look, ABUTO FACE is shown!

Kiheitai!

Tsukuyo

and Jiraia in V1
Tsukuyo and gedomaru, ketsuno... V2

Gintoki fighting alone V1
Joui 4 fighting V2

his eyes are reflecting his past...

OPENING 9 - TOGENKYO ALIEN

iconic!

these guys are the ones who bullied Saigou's son at ep 24.

Gintoki in his 3 phases of life.

song: alien! alien! (actual aliens are shown)

everyone is here again! (literally)

joui 4 fighting and takasugi taking a different course than his peers!

very cool Kamui and Abuto!

Jirocho, Pirako, Kujaku and Young Otose!

we already know what happens here in a certain episode lmao

OPENING 10 - DILEMMA

very good atmosphere!! (also Katsura outfit from ep 5)

well, lmao, we already know this, at first we believed that something serious happened but in the end it was the Scandal Arc lmao (also madao appears here in a certain episode lmaoo)

fumiko

ok. ANALYSIS MOMENT.
picture 1: Gintoki vs Daraku (harusame arc)
picture 2: Gintoki vs Onijishi (rengokukan arc)
picture 3: Gintoki vs Nizou (benizakura arc)
picture 4: Gintoki vs Bansai (shinsengumi crisis)

picture 1: Gintoki vs Housen (yoshiwara in flames arc)
picture 2: Gintoki vs Jiraia (red spider arc)
picture 3: Gintoki vs Jirocho (4 devas arc)

Shouyou's students and joui 4 (eli was here in a certain episode lmao)

OPENING 11 - WONDERLAND

he's reading Gintaman

here we can see the great friendship that has been formed throughout the series. I love this.

FOREVER YOROZUYA!

here we can see the spiked wire representing the Baragaki Arc (thorny),

look! this one is from the manga!

Isaburo and Nobume!!!! Mimawarigumi!

I think this one is Hijikata Tamegoro (Baragaki arc), he lost his eyes, that's why they don't appear.

again, thorns representing the Baragai Arc.

We can see that Kamui and Abuto are with the Kiheitai, this was from the "alliance" they made with takasugi after 4 devas arc.

OPENING 12 - LETS GO OUT

Again, Gintoki thinking about his past

again, Kiheitai + Kamui and Abuto

we can compare things with the Kintama version.

I LOVE THE SADAHARU DETAIL. LOVE.

silver>>>>>

OPENING 13 - SAKURA MITSUTSUKI

left-> episode 261
right-> opening 13

I want to think that in the opening the arc begins and that's why the cherry blossom has that shape and in episode 261 it ends, that's why it goes in that direction.

the two images together= you get an arc
