What differs from gintama of others shounens?

It doesn't take itself seriously, at least it used no to.

Basically it's the Deadpool of battle shounen

now you are imagining Gintoki with Deadpool

This. I'm too fatigue from the ultra serious Utsuro scenes (seriously fuck him and Sorachi for including him in the story) and a lack of comedy arcs

It has really consistent power levels, and no escalating bad guy threats level, besides utsuro but i think thats ok since hes the actual final boss.

the humor is also pretty meta.

To be fair Sorachi have to end Gintama somehow and it could be far worse for a shonen standards just see Bleach or Naruto.
