The episodes of the third season of the Japanese anime television series Gintama aired on Japan's TV Tokyo from April 3, 2008 to March 26, 2009.[1][2] The third season has a total of 51 episodes expanding the series' episodes to 150. They are animated by Sunrise. Episodes 100 to 105 were directed by Shinji Takamatsu and Yoichi Fujita, while in following episodes Fujita was the only director.[3] The anime is based on Hideaki Sorachi's manga of the same name.[4] The story revolves around an eccentric samurai, Gintoki Sakata, his apprentice, Shinpachi Shimura, and a teenage alien girl named Kagura. All three are "free-lancers" who search for work in order to pay the monthly rent, which usually goes unpaid anyway.
In Japan, Aniplex distributes the anime in DVD format.[5] The first volume of the third season was released on August 27, 2008.[6]
On January 8, 2009, the streaming video site Crunchyroll began offering English subtitled episodes of the series. The episodes are available on Crunchyroll within hours of airing in Japan to paying members. The episodes can also be watched for free a week after release. The first available episode was episode 139.[7] On the same day, Crunchyroll also began uploading episodes from the beginning of the series at a rate of two a week.
Like previous seasons, the third season uses six pieces of musical themes: two opening themes and four ending themes. The first twenty-six episodes use "Donten" (曇天, lit. "Cloudy Weather") by Does as the opening theme. "Anata Magic" (アナタMAGIC, lit. "Your Magic") by Monobright replaces "Donten" for the following episodes. The first ending theme is "Sanagi" (lit. "Chrysalis") by POSSIBILITY. Since episode 113, the ending theme is "This world is yours" by Plingmin. Episodes 126-138 replace "This world is yours" with I, Ai, Ai (I 、愛、会い, lit. "I, Love, Meeting") by GHOSTNOTE. The four ending used since episode 139 is SHIGI's "Kagayaita" (輝いた, lit. "Shining"). Episodes 105 and 150 exchange the use of the themes; this leaves episode 105 with "Sanagi" as the opening and with "Donten" as the ending while "Kagayaita" and "Anata Magic" are the opening and ending themes, respectively, in episode 150.

Meanwhile, Gintoki is forced into a confrontation with none other than Bansai Kawakami, right-hand man to Takasugi. Bansai explains how Takasugi exploited Itou’s arrogance and pride to make Itou think he has a place in the Kihetai but was never intended to be. Bansai blows up a nearby bridge where the train passed by and Itou wakes up with his left arm cut off after his battle with Hijikata. At that moment, a Kihetai operative tries to kill Itou, when he reminisces his childhood; as a child, he was a gifted with academic and physical skills but was shunned by his classmates and even his parents— so much so that his mother wished he was never born and that the family heir would go to his sickly older brother, Takahisa. In the present, Kondo and the others save Itou from falling, when the latter realizes that all he ever needed were friends and they were there right along. In a final attack, Bansai entangles Gintoki in garrotte wiring from his biwa when a chopper gunner shoots the train— Gintoki frees himself from the wire and attacks the chopper, but it’s revealed that Itou used himself as a shield to protect everyone else then falls unconscious. | ||||||

After several unsuccessful attempts (Kagura shooting the warehouse, acting as the police, and smoking Utsuzo out), Kyojiro Nakamura, the lieutenant, tells Kaguzo to give it time as Utsuzo will come out on his own; at that moment, Kaguzo collapses and is hospitalized. Later that night, Kyojiro and Gintoki talk about Utsuzo's past and attempt to bring him out one more time -- however, Gintoki finds a woman inside as Kyojiro says that Utsuzo is dead. The two fight with Gintoki getting shot and poisoned, and Kyojiro proclaiming that Utsuzo was a nuisance and killed him.

Meanwhile, the syndicate superiors discuss a plan for Kyojiro's succession -- the next day, Kyojiro is decided as the successor. He thinks of his past when Kaguzo took him in from the streets and how he respected the elder. At the inauguration, Gintoki incapacitates the bosses and attacks Kyojiro -- the latter then deduces that he was set up for death by the syndicate. Kyojiro still came, knowing it was a setup and he thinks of how Kaguzo scolded Utsuzo for refusing to be the heir then the son shut himself out. Knowing he was terminally ill, Kaguzo lamented about never showing affection to Utsuzo; however, Kyojiro discovers that Utsuzo killed himself because of the argument. As such, Kyojiro took the pretense of killing him in order to never let Kaguzo know the truth. Gintoki assists Kyojiro in taking down the underlings but the latter gets fatally shot in the process; Gintoki takes him to Kaguzo's grave and assures Kyojiro was always a loyal person even if he carried the guilt of Utsuzo's death. Finally arriving at the cemetery, Kyojiro dies after finding peace with himself from always respecting and staying loyal to Kaguzo and Utsuzo. | ||||||
