Gintama: Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class S01E10 – Chaos, Cameos, and 1000/10 Hilarity

Guys, if you haven’t seen the 10th episode of Mr. Ginpachi’s Zany Class yet—drop your homework, pause your gaming session, and run to watch it. This spin-off just hit us with an episode that’s pure Gintama chaos, nostalgia, and all the things we love about our favorite silver-haired slacker. Let’s break down why this episode is making fans lose their minds (in the best way possible).

First, let’s set the scene: This is a Gintama spin-off where our boy Gintoki trades his samurai sword for a chalkboard (sort of) to become Ginpachi Sakata, a high school teacher at Gintama High. And episode 10? It’s exactly what the synopsis promises: fights might break out, rules are tossed out the window, and sanity is totally optional. But beyond that, it’s packed with moments that feel like a warm hug from the original series—plus some bombshell cameos we didn’t see coming.

Let’s start with the skits that fans are raving about. There’s a random Krillin exam bit (yes, Dragon Ball reference—duh) where Ginpachi tests his students on how many times Krillin has died (classic Gintama, mixing anime references with school chaos). Then there’s a throwback to the original’s confession booth skit—some fans called it “rehashed,” but who cares? It’s still hilarious. Imagine students spilling their dumbest secrets (like forgetting their math homework or having a crush on the new math teacher) in a booth that looks like it’s straight out of the Yorozuya’s old hangout. And let’s not forget: one fan gave this episode a 1000/10 rating. Need I say more?

But wait—this episode isn’t just about old jokes. It’s bringing in new (old) faces! Sakamoto, our favorite space商人 (businessman) from the original series, is now a math teacher. Fitting, right? He’s always calculating ways to make a quick yen, so teaching math makes total sense. Then there’s Tsukuyo—yes, the badass Oiran from Yoshiwara—who shows up, and we’re all crossing our fingers for more Ginpachi-Tsuki banter later. Plus, Gengai (the weird inventor) and Matsudaira (the grumpy cop) join the party too. It’s like a Gintama reunion in a high school hallway.

And the biggest surprise? Takasugi is back. Kamui and the Yato crew too! If you’re a die-hard fan, you probably screamed when you saw them. But what makes this even better is the meta 4th wall breaks. The show jokes about how awkward the school setting is for the original cast—like, why is Kamui, a Yato warrior, even in a high school? They also throw shade at production issues, like not having all voice actors in one episode. It’s self-aware, it’s funny, and it feels like the show is talking directly to us fans.

Now, let’s be real: If you’re new to Gintama, some references might fly over your head. One fan mentioned needing notes to get all the jokes, and that’s true. But even if you haven’t watched all 350+ original episodes, the randomness and slapstick still work. A new fan commented that they hadn’t seen most of the original series but still found the episode hilarious. For old fans, though? It’s nostalgia overload. We get to see our favorite characters in a new light but still being their chaotic selves.

The vibe of this episode is exactly what we love about Gintama: No plot is too absurd, no reference is off-limits, and every moment is designed to make you laugh until your sides hurt. Whether you’re here for the cameos, the throwbacks, or just to see Ginpachi slack off instead of teaching (let’s be honest, that’s why we’re here), this episode delivers.

Final thought: This episode is a reminder why Gintama is a masterpiece—even in a spin-off, it’s still the same show we know and love. It’s chaotic, it’s funny, and it’s full of heart. If you haven’t watched it yet, go do it now. And as one fan put it: BE FOREVER YOROZUYA!

P.S. If you’re a fan of the original, you’ll definitely want to stick around for the post-credits scene. Trust me.
