Primary
The film maintains a neutral stance by primarily focusing on slapstick comedy, character relationships, and individual heroism. While it features themes of resistance against oppression, it critiques the destructive nature of radical ideological extremism and champions personal loyalty and responsibility over specific political agendas.
The movie 'Gintama' features a cast that aligns with its Japanese source material and setting, without explicit recasting of traditionally white roles. Its narrative primarily focuses on comedy and action, presenting traditional identities in a neutral or positive light rather than offering a critical DEI-centric perspective.
Secondary
The film features LGBTQ+ adjacent themes, primarily through cross-dressing characters and homoerotic gags, which are consistently used for comedic effect. While these depictions often rely on stereotypes and mockery, they are part of the film's broad, irreverent humor and do not result in serious denigration or ostracization of the characters involved, leading to a neutral overall impact.
The film features Kagura, a female character with superhuman strength, who repeatedly engages in and wins close-quarters physical fights against multiple male opponents using hand-to-hand combat and a melee weapon.
The 2017 live-action film adapts specific arcs from the Gintama manga/anime. All major characters are portrayed by actors matching their established canonical gender from the source material, with no instances of a character's gender being changed for the adaptation.
The Gintama 2017 live-action film adapts a Japanese manga and anime series. All major characters, originally depicted as East Asian/Japanese, are portrayed by East Asian/Japanese actors in the movie, consistent with their established race in the source material.
