Gintama's countless parodies and cultural jokes are super hard to adapt for non-Japanese audiences, so subbing it is the easiest route. Trust me, you don't want to lose those epic jokes!
Honestly, dubbing Gintama would probably ruin half the jokes.
Probably because the sheer volume of references and jokes makes it a headache for dub directors. So they just went with subs, and honestly鈥攊t works!
It's not dubbed because translating its unique blend of Japanese culture, puns, and humor would be insanely difficult and potentially lose its charm.
