[edit] Japanese specific references

In the Gintama series, most, if not all, episodes/chapters mentions or illustrates a different anime/manga, or a specific Japanese event or person. It also breaks the fourth wall in more than one occasion.

In the first episode of the anime, there is a section that explains how to correctly pronounce the title. This is because "Gintama" is written in hiragana as ぎんたま. The pun of the title occurs if the reader forgets the dakuten in the ぎ and pronounces it as "kintama" (金玉), which is a Japanese euphemism for testicles (literally "golden balls"). In an omake, a theoretical x-rated "Kintama" is shown with a blonde Gintoki. In an omake the author stated that he wanted schoolgirls to be able to say "Did you see this week's Gintama?" comfortably.

Seppuku is a ritual suicide by disembowelment. It is often used in this manga, especially during the Shinsengumi chapters.

Shinsengumi in Gintama is identical in romaji, but different in Japanese kanji to the original version; the real life kanji is 新撰組, while the Gintama version is 真選組.

The anime makes references to another manga, Bleach. Gintoki says, "I wish I had something like bankai" while reading Jump. The end of the Gintama JUMP Festa 2005 shows Gintoki cosplaying Ichigo Kurosaki, Shinpachi as Uryū Ishida, Kagura as Rukia Kuchiki, and Sadaharu as Kon. In chapter 150, the spirit of Gintoki's bokuto, Touyako (bearing uncanny resemblance to Bleach's Zangetsu) appeared in front of the main characters in order to teach them an ultimate technique. The third opening sequence also contains Gintoki's dream of having a bankai.

In episode 5, you will find one Shinsengumi's officers, the Badminton-loving Yamazaki, wearing a Seigaku uniform as well as the cap of Ryoma Echizen. This is a reference to Prince of Tennis.

Another reference to the manga One Piece is made in Chapter 14 of the manga, when Gintoki and Katsura are dressed up as space pirates. They mention their great desire to search for the great treasure, "One Park".

In the manga, and now the anime as well, whenever Katsura and Gintoki are cosplaying as Space Pirates, they would always wear long coats with a red ream, with Katsura wearing an eyepatch over one of his eyes. This is a reference to Space Pirate Captain Harlock.

At the end of Episode 13, Katsura is shown saying "Dattebayo", which is a reference to Naruto.

Gintoki dresses as Sena Kobayakawa from Eyeshield 21 in episode 15.

Also in Episode 15, Gintoki wears a hockey mask similar to "Jason Vorhees" from "Friday the 13th".

Kondo Isao's sword is named Kotetsu, just like the sword which the historical Kondo Isami was said to have used. The kanji however differs: Kondo Isami's was 虎徹 while the one in Gintama is 虎鉄. The sword was broken in episode 17, to Kondo's horror, as he was still paying the installments for the sword.

In Episode 17, there are two robots that resemble the Zaku and the original Gundam. There is also one resembling Mazinger Z.

At the end of Episode 17 Gintoki does an imitation Of Bo-bobo.

A kappa-like character appears in episode 21, and chapter 17.

In episode 18, Kagura appears in a yellow jumpsuit that resembles the one worn by Bruce Lee in Game of Death.

The way the Underwear Thief is defeated is a parody to the way that Raoh dies in Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken).

At the very beginning of episode 19 in Gintoki's teacher segment, he's asked why he always wears the same kimono. He explains that it'd be too distracting if the main character keeps changing outfits and compares himself to Lupin who is always wearing the same suit.

In Episode 21, when Gintoki is rushing somewhere to get a fan, a car was getting in the way, and Gintoki jumped off his bike and did a "Rider Kick" through the car. This is a reference to Kamen Rider.

Episode 25 is a parody of Death Note; Shinpachi plays a role similar to Light Yagami and Gintoki plays a role similar to L. Ryuk also appears on the roof of their building during the last scene.

Also in episode 25, Kagura tells Gintoki that he is corrupting her and that she cannot trust anyone because of him. Gintoki tells her then that she should "despise and detest" him. Their conversation is a reference to the Uchiha brothers in Naruto.

The doctor in episode 31 resembles Black Jack.

Episode 34 is a parody of Densha Otoko (The Train Man), where Shinpachi saves a girl being harassed by a drunkard on a train.

In Episode 39, there is a ramen restaurant called Hokuto Shinken. A clear reference to Hokuto no Ken.

Chapter 147 is a parody of the Wii launch, in which various characters are waiting in line for a "Owee" and causes trouble to advance through the line. Katsura also cosplayed Mario in the end of the chapter. In chapter 148, Katsura is seen eating a mushroom, with Elizabeth cosplaying Luigi.

Also in Chapter 148, the Dreamcast is mentioned. In Chapter 149, the characters continue their attempt to obtain an "Owee" in a competition with a RPG game.

In Episode 43, Ayame describes Otose and adds "...You can't even tell if she's Orochimaru or not," referring to Otose's seiyuu who is also the seiyuu of Orochimaru from Naruto.

In Episode 43, when they dress up in the ninja outfits, they reference the original Super Sentai series Himitsu Sentai Goranger.

In Episode 44, there is a pose made by the Yorozuya, Sa-chan and Katsura. Below there is a mix between the kanjis of Gintama and Shippuden, reading that Gintama Shippuden. Obvious parody of Naruto Shippuden.

In Episode 44, the yellow ninja's muscle gain is a possible reference to Hokuto no Ken, for he resembles Raoh when powered up.

Also in Episode 44, when Gintoki and Hattori are fighting they are shown attempting to imitate the Pegasus Ryu Sei Ken. Though Gintoki is performing the pose right while Hattori is imitating another type of dance/pose.

In Episode 47, Gintoki and Kagura dress up as Lone Wolf and Cub while pretending to be streetcrossers.

Also in Episode 47, Gintoki has a new neighbor called Hedoro (means sludge), a parody of Miyazaki's Totoro.

Episode 50 parodies various anime, manga and movies, including Mobile Suit Gundam, Dragon Ball, Bleach, One Piece, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Pretty Cure, Once upon a time in Mexico, A Thousand Year Actor, Ikebukuro West Gate Park, The Rose of Versailles, Hannibal, World Cooking Show, Roman Holiday, Romeo and Juliet, Ju-on, Tarzan and Star Wars.

Sakamoto's ship resembles the Space Battleship Yamato.

In episode 62, after finding Kondo stuck in a booby-trap at Otae's house, Yamazaki tries to abandon him and Kondo starts saying how he's glad that Yamazaki wasn't Kenpachi Zaraki , who is a character in Bleach.

At the beginning of Episode 66, Gintoki is shown saying "Dattebayo", while he's reading Jump which has Naruto in the cover, which is a reference to Naruto.

The ending of episode 74 has a cameo of Ryotsu Kankichi, the lead character of the Jump series Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo. (also known as Kochi Kame) The chapter this episode was based on also has a Ryotsu cameo, due to the 30th anniversary of Kochi Kame in that Jump issue (where all series had a cameo by the lazy policeman).

In episode 98, there are a full of people starting the OwEe launch. Just like the buyers released the Wii Launch. Also, Katsura and Elizabeth wearing Mario and Luigi costumes. Just like Mario Bros..

In episode 99, Gintoki, Kagura, Hijikata and Sogo are wearing VR shades and gloves. There are playing a parody of Dynasty Warriors. Instead of Koei the name itself "Hoei".
