I don't think anyone can be so familiar with the Japanese language and culture to fully understand gintama. It's still amazing tho

I can think of roughly 123 million who can.

There's some really obscure references in gintama, now maybe everyone in Japan is as well versed in old Japanese TV and cinema as Sorachi Hideaki? I think part of its appeal is it's esoteric references though.

As far as the puns go, I'll admit most fluent Japanese speakers understand them (I'm not fluent).

I can still think of at least a few people who will understand Gintama
