History ShoutOut / Gintama

** Same episode as above, to finish up the [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotAwesome strategizing]] that was going on, [[DeathNote Ryuk]] appears at the end.

* Chapter 372 begins the arc that deals with a villain who made himself the best friend of everyone in Kabukicho in place of Gin. Incidentally, the name of the arc, aside from being "Kintama", is also subtitled as [[{{Bleach}} "The Lost Substitute Odd Job Arc"]]. Unlike other shout-outs, the arc is played with a more serious tone.

** Of coruse we have {{GaoGaiGar}}... I mean, Kaien, VS. a giant [[GurrenLagann Renho that has a drill for its weapon]]. Seems like Sunrise just decided to go crazy on all its mecha shows.

* Episode 207-208 bears a striking resemblance to ''Kill Bill'', including the music and naming of the assassin assassins.

* In episode 28, Sacchan mistakes Kondo for the monkey in ''SpeedRacer''.

* Episode 30 is pretty heavy on the crime-solving/detective references, so there's plenty of ''DetectiveConan'' references. Like the eponymous detective making a quick appearance, only with a topknot/chonmage. Gintoki even grabs a sleeping Mouri look-alike just so he can do Conan's normal routine.

* During [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Katsura's]] driving test: "[[{{Speed}} Maybe... there's a bomb that will explode if we go less than 50 km/h,]] [[HypocriticalHumor planted by a Joui member!]]"

** Renho Elizabeth (Eren) is voice by ToruFuruya. Nuff said.

** Chapter 356 features the trump card weapon the Renhou (Elizabeth's race) plan to use to invade Earth: the "white devil" mecha, which have red color at the top, very blockish looking, and features beam saber and beam rifle - or as Shinpachi said, "It's not Renhou army, that's [[{{Gundam}} Renpou Army!]]

** There are also a few shout-outs to YoshihiroTogashi's work. Prince Hata is a walking shout-out to LevelE (he's even ''called'' "Prince Baka" all the time!) although he looks like [[DragonballZ Fat Buu]], and there's an exchange where Gintoki has cornered a villain that is a [[CrowningMomentOfFunny hysterical]] parody of the flashback where [[YuYuHakusho Sensui and Itsuki]] meet (sorry, paraphrased):

* In episode 77: "[[StrawberryOneHundredPercent Where's the 100%? Shouldn't it be Yagyu 100%?]]"

* In episode 167--the episode where Tama gets a virus--you can see a replication of [[ItWasHisSled Aerith's death]] and other ''FinalFantasy'' moments playing behind Gintoki while he's ranting about the use of [[ShoutOut long-ass CG cutscenes in games.]]

** Then in Chapter 362, Kyoshiro decide to change his shop to Plamo-kyo Shiro

** Episode 89 is full of references to and parodies of {{Bleach}}.

** In episode 115, when she was eating the Hijikata Special, Kuriko says something along the lines of "I have found the {{One Piece}} of flavors!"
** Nobody really knows what the goal of Gintama is, so Gintoki sets it to "[[OnePiece become the Samurai King]]".

* Kagura wears BruceLee's outfit from GameOfDeath.

* In episode 28, Sacchan mistakes Kondo for the monkey in SpeedRacer.

** Later, assassin-paranoid Matsudaira and [[BlindWithoutEm blind]] Sacchan both start seeing Otose and Catherine like they're from FistOfTheNorthStar.
* Episode 30 is pretty heavy on the crime-solving/detective references, so there's plenty of DetectiveConan references. Like the eponymous detective making a quick appearance, only with a topknot/chonmage. Gintoki even grabs a sleeping Mouri look-alike just so he can do Conan's normal routine.
** Later on in the episode, Kagura suddenly cosplays [[{{Gokusen}} Yankumi]], and mixes up lines from {{Gokusen}} and {{TRICK}}.

** That same episode was also a parody of {{Densha Otoko}}

** Same episode, when infiltrating the location that Elizabeth is in, Gintoki and the rest of the ninjas go through trials that look like the ones you see in TakeshisCastle.

** Next up, [[OnceUponATimeInChina Once Upon A Time In China Girl.]]

** Presenting the [[{{Takarazuka}} TakaraZura Theatre Club]], Omegumi Performance, [[RoseOfVersailles The Pig Rose of Versailles.]]

** [[{{Dragonball}} Dragon]][[{{Bleach}} Blea]][[OnePiece Piece]]! Otae beats up Kondo in three different locations, in three different costumes, and in three different ways. [[{{Bleach}} Bankai!]] [[OnePiece Gomu-Gomu!]] [[{{Dragonball}} Ha!]]

** The plot of [[RomanHoliday Roman Gintama]] looks awfully familiar...

** [[Disney/{{Tarzan}} The Prince of Jungle.]] [[TokyoGodfathers The Yorozuya find Prince Hata]] but he ditches them to go to space. [[StarWars Where he takes pictures with Jabba the Hut and Yoda.]] [[ThePlanetOfTheApes And some apes.]]

* In the same episode, also the second half, Gintoki compared Sacchan's treatment of him to the woman in {{Misery}}.

* Episode 74 is all about references to {{Kochikame}}--most prominently, the "zombies" shown in that episode share the same eyebrows of the protagonist.

** An old heist of Catherine's as shown in the episode also looks like a scene from the first movie of CharliesAngels.

** And then Heidi suddenly looks like something from TheRing.

** Same episode: they play a game called [[TokimekiMemorial Bakiboki Memorial]].

* During the Tsusengumi Arc, Shinpachi and Hijikata play a card game with "Otsuu Cards" that is suspiciously like {{Yu-Gi-Oh}}.
* Episode 216 has some random MetalGear shout-outs, with the "Patriots" being composed of the "naked" and "solid", which need to be "jacked" in with a stick. Gintoki also refers to strawberry milk as "Meso Gear".
* Episode 217 has Gintoki trying so use {{Inception}} as an excuse to take a nap.
* Because Hijikata and Date Masamune share a [[KazuyaNakai voice actor]], there are a few shout-outs to ''SengokuBasara''.
** In one Popularity Ranking episode, Katsura and Otae try to goad Hijikata into saying one of Masamune's signature [[GratuitousEnglish Engrish]] phrases and ask him if he's excited about the second season since ''Basara'' was about to start its second season.

* Episode 228-229 is an entire arc about LovePlus.

* Chapter 372 begin the arc that dealt with a villian who made himself the best friend of everyone in Kabukicho. Incidentally, the name of the arc, aside from being "Kintama", is also subtitled as [[{{Bleach}} "The Lost Substitute Odd Job Arc"]]. Unlike other shout-out, the arc is played with a more serious tone.
