# Talk:Gintama

Under the "Themes and style" heading, I was wondering if it should be noted that the Amanto are basically a parallel for westerners, as well as the events and anti-foreigner sentiment present in Japan during that period in real life? 184.147.93.162 (talk) 20:04, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Well, while the Amanto influence is much more widespread in Gintama, I personally believe it's still inspired by the events in real life Japan, as delineated on the WP pages https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bakumatsu and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boshin_War.  It was partly due to increasing foreign pressure to either open Japan's borders or be attacked and forced to go to war that led to the end of the Edo era and the beginning of the Meiji era.  There are differences, of course, as in Gintama the Edo era never ended, but the initial events seem essentially the same.  The differences after initial events are clearly due to a divergent timeline created by the Amanto invading instead of the Americans..  I'm not sure if all that's enough, though.  184.147.93.162 (talk) 15:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

I don't want to screw this up. I don't see a good place to write it in. DarmaniLink (talk) 18:51, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

I'd say either on the introduction part or the production part Tocen0 (talk) 15:06, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
I know there are jokes made with that in the series, but I don't know how relevant this is to the article. I mean are there any sources that indicate that the author thought of the series title with the pun in mind or something like that? Xexerss (talk) 15:09, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
The joke is only relevant to the character Kintoki Sakata. I don't think the author himself ever addressed this.Tintor2 (talk) 20:54, 24 November 2024 (UTC)
