I just watched the first episode of the new Gintama 2015 season. At the
beginning, when Gintoki was hit by a chair, he screamed _Psycho-Pass!_

I know Psycho-Pass is another anime (I watched it) - but what was the meaning
behind that reference in Gintama? I was wondering if both animes had the same
studio or something, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Why did Gintoki scream "Psycho-Pass!"?


After an hour of extensive googling, I think I might have stumbled upon an
answer.

Gintoki screaming **Psycho Pass!** when hit by the chair,

![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/1Cqq6.png)

is a reference to a scene from the Psycho-Pass series, where Kasei gets hit on
the face with a book, thrown by Makishima.

is well known for using gags and references regarding other animes. Most
references are made when the situation is similar to that of the other animes.
This Psycho-Pass reference is a new one.

I also believe it could be a word which was misheard by the viewers. Found
this on [Yorozuya Soul
Forums](https://forums.yorozuyasoul.com/index.php?topic=3001.45). The author
has a good point.
