The first highly awaited episode of Gintama‘s new season has caused quite the commotion with its scathing opening parody of the now ancient tear-filled outburst of a politician accused of misusing public funds – political parody apparently not being entirely dead in Japan.
Gintama’s parody:
The original video:
A side-by-side comparison:
This has not been the first time that Gintama has boldly poked fun at real incidents or people – a previous jab at upper house member Renho Murata caused some consternation, but the staff presumably think themselves in the clear this time.

Its official. Japan needs to spawn their own version of The Daily Show but do it as an anime.
That would be hilarious.
They should have Gintoki in a Jon Stewart role.
yeah, if he can copy Gintoki's voice on proper version.
I can tell he knew about anime about 2-3 years ago.
somehow.
Hail Gintoki! Best male mc in anime's history.
Best trolling mc in popular anime's history.
And with the best troll seiyuu in anime's history
Nah. Sugita is a bro.
And this is why Gintoki is my favorite male character in any anime
didn't an episode of Gintama get banned for satirizing a politician before?
yeah, that renho episode. funnily, it's not even offensive- just another politician making a ruckus out of it for publicity
Ginjoki
Funniest anime! Hands down.
Funniest anime! Pants down!
Funniest anime! Hoes down, ass up.
Well, that escalated quickly.
Oh yeah, I remembered this popular conference.
So, that's where it came from.
i didn't know this scene was a parody until i came to sancom
Watched the 1st ep today... crapped my pants!
OMG, no wonder Japan is having such economic problems. What reckless spending.
Better watch out, the yakuza and their puppet politicians are coming for you.
Hurry up and kill it with FIRE RIGHT NOW!
PSYCHO-PAASSS!
MAKANKOU SANPOU!!!!!
lol so that's wut that guy was about..
I really... REALLY need to watch this anime now
Political satire? In mah Nippon? In mah animu no less??? Is hell freezing over???
hahahaha!!!
Glad it's not America they are making fun of. Maybe the reason why the Japanese look down on Otaku so much is because the politicians encourage people to do so.
Is that you, Gin? Sigh, the greatest trolling anime so far, amongst the more popular series.
