Fortunately Sadaharu’s condition is nothing serious, but he’s kept overnight just to be safe. Around the same time, an old dog that has also been hospitalized is about to take its last breath. It seems the owner is in critical condition as well, and with only death awaiting them both, Kagura decides to take the old dog to its owner.

To let the dying dog Kintaro see its owner for one last time, Kagura and Katsura sneak it out of the hospital…only to find themselves caught in the war between the “Planet Eaters” (dogs) and “Planet Pukers” (cats), while Earth’s fate hangs in the balance. Escaping from the Planet Pukers, who are after Kintaro, the two head to the hospital where the old man is hospitalized. Meanwhile, the old man, who is supposedly in critical condition, goes missing. The old man’s children request Gintoki’s services, but when he arrives at the hospital…

Otose arranges for Gintoki and the gang to spend their winter break at a hot spring inn located deep in the mountains. Anticipating a secluded hot spring bath, the group hikes their way up the mountain trail, only to arrive at a completely deserted and run-down inn. With no available bus to return to Edo, the gang has no choice but to stay at the inn. The inn’s Okami Oiwa welcomes the group, but Gintoki and Shinpachi notice a transparent being standing behind her back!

The inn Gintoki and the gang are staying at turns out to be a ghost inn where all the stands (ghosts) gather, unable to enter heaven due to their attachment to the living world! Gintoki finds himself left all alone after Shinpachi, Kagura, and Otae are all possessed by stands. The Okami Oiwa explains she was looking for someone tough enough to help run the inn. Forced into working as an employee trainee, Gintoki must now join his co-worker Rei to greet the visiting stand customers…

Sick and tired of Oiwa’s tyranny, Gintoki decides to shut down the inn by teaming up with Rei. He plans to use Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Mitsuhide (their stands, that is) to bring down the inn’s reputation but is stopped by Okami Otose. Though overwhelmed at first by Okami’s most powerful stand Tagosaku, Gintoki nonetheless manages to exorcize the inn’s customers with the help of Shinpachi and the gang, who are now themselves living stands. With the fate of the inn and himself at stake, Gintoki finally enters a one-on-one battle with Oiwa.

Oiwa lets Tagosaku possess her own body to become “His Excellency.” Fueled by anger and sadness, her surge of attacks gradually corner Gintoki. But just in the nick of time, Gintoki also lets himself be possessed by Stands to become “His Excellency.” To bring down the wasted ghost inn, Gintoki risks everything he has to go up against Oiwa!

It’s the usual scene at Odd Jobs Gin. Shinpachi and Kagura are cleaning up the place when they see a picture fall out of the back of a wall frame. To their surprise, the picture is a shot of Gintoki and a mystery beauty! Could she be a woman from his past? While the two argue over the woman’s identity, Gintoki returns with the groceries and reveals a surprising truth. The woman in the picture was the semi-regular character in the “previous” Odd Jobs Gin. For the first time ever, before even Shinpachi or Kagura joined, the story of when Gintoki just started running the Odd Jobs business is revealed…

Seita is a kid who makes his living through pickpocketing. One day Seita picks Gintoki’s wallet only to find it pretty much empty, and discovers that his own wallet was picked back in return. In the end Seita treats Gintoki to some parfait after getting caught red-handed. Brought into Snack Otose for questioning, Seita shocks everyone by revealing he needed the money to see a certain “遊女/Yujo (courtesans/ prostitute).”

Seita was picking pockets to see Hinowa, the highest-ranked 遊女/Yujo (courtesans/ prostitute) in the underground 遊郭/Yukaku (Licensed Quarters) Yoshiwara Tougenkyo, where law has no meaning. But his picking act was all for the sake of seeing the mother he was separated from at a young age. To let Seita see Hinowa, Gintoki and the gang march into Yoshiwara Tougenkyo, where they receive a rough welcome by Tsukuyo, the head of Yoshiwara’s paramilitary force, “Hyakka.”

Kagura’s older brother Kamui arrives in Yoshiwara. As the Seventh Division Captain of the Space Pirate Harusame, Kamui is here to talk with the division’s former captain, The Night King, Hosen. At first everything seems to go well, but tensions gradually start to build up… Meanwhile, escaping from Kamui and his men’s attack, Gintoki and the gang take refuge at Tsukuyo’s hideout.

As Gintoki and the gang head toward Hosen’s lair, they encounter Abuki, one of Kamui’s subordinates, and are overwhelmed by the incredible fighting power of the Yato Clan. On Shinpachi and Kagura’s urging, Gintoki heads out to face Hosen alone. The remaining two fight desperately against Abuki, only to be cornered by the overwhelming difference in power. In the midst of the fierce battle Kagura renews her feelings toward her older brother Kamui and her reason for fighting. But with Shinpachi’s life in danger, Kagura goes through a dramatic transformation…

Amidst the fierce battle, Kagura awakens to her Yato instincts and defeats Abuto. Thanks to Shinpachi’s desperate plea, Kagura is able to return to her senses and together they head after Hosen. Meanwhile Kamui has brought Seita before Hinowa, who is confined to her quarters. “Mom, let’s go home together!” Seita shouts out to his beloved mother. However, unexpected words leave Hinowa’s mouth…

Gintoki arrives before Hosen, just in the nick of time. To restore the bond between mother and son that has been torn by the city of eternal light, Gintoki engages Hosen with fierce determination. But against the King of the Night’s awesome powers, Gintoki is beaten helplessly to the ground. “Go home to the world above with your mom…” Taking to heart the words left by Gintoki, Seita tries to escape from Yoshiwara with Hinowa, but…

The only way to defeat Hosen is to bring back the Sun to the Yoshiwara Shangri-La, the city trapped within eternal night. Seita runs for the control room to break open the iron-plated seal covering the city. Meanwhile, Gintoki and the Hyakka led by Tsukuyo are desperately holding off Hosen’s attack. But despite their best efforts, they cannot stop the King of The Night’s onslaught…

At last the sun rises above Yoshiwara Shangri-La, the city of eternal light. At the end of a fierce battle, Hosen finally reveals his true feelings for Hinowa and passes away. Observing the entire battle from afar, Kamui is greeted by Kagura and Shinpachi. Kagura is enraged with her reunited brother, but Kamui leaves after “declaring war” with Gintoki.

It is shortly after the fierce battle at Yoshiwara Shngri-la. Shinpachi and Kagura, having faced powerful foes in Hosen and Kamui unlike any they have encountered, are training hard after realizing their lack of strength. Both announce to Gintoki their determination to become stronger. But Gintoki declines to become involved, saying it’s a pain. Learning of the situation, Otae and Hasegawa share their training secrets, but…

During their routine night patrol Hijikata and Okita are attacked and kidnapped by an unknown assailant. When they wake up, the two find themselves chained together and imprisoned inside an abandoned room. As the two come to realize how bad the situation is, a creepy man speaks to them over the monitor. The man, who calls himself Jigzaw, reveals that he has placed a bomb at the Shinsengumi headquarters, and that the only way Hijikata and Okita can escape is for one to kill the other!

As the bombing of the Shinsengumi headquarters nears, Hijikata and Okita are still unable to find any means for escape. Only one key exists to unlock the shackles chaining each other. But if the key is used, it will set off a bomb to kill the other. The rule of the devil begins to stir distrust between the two. Though he commends them for not betraying one another, Jigzaw pressures them to make the final decision by displaying a certain item.

The Odd Jobs trio is going about their usual meaningless chatter when a man with an eye-patch suddenly shows up and begins “ordering” them around. The man’s “power” is so strong, the Odd Jobs find themselves unable to defy his orders…

Kagura can't fall asleep , so she goes to Gintoki's room and troubles him about her problem. After few methods, she finally fells asleep while listening to a story from a radio show. Unfortunately Gintoki listened to this Horror story as well, and now he can't fall aleep.

Otae and Shinpachi are invited to Kyubei’s birthday party. The two arrive at the Yagyu mansion with a birthday cake in hand, only to find the place filled with celebrities from the entertainment and political worlds and other various industries! When the two begin to feel out of place, they spot Gintoki, Katsura, Hasegawa, and Kamenashi (without his shell) causing a huge commotion. Naturally, with these members together in one place trouble is bound to happen…

Hasegawa is tired of alway losing and being called a Madao, so together with Gintoki they bet on horse races. After many failures, Hasegawa tells him of his effort to leave the "Madao Spiral", unfortunate turn of events that happened since he gained the nickname. Together with Gintoki Madao decides to try one last time, betting on the horse Justaway. In the middle of the race Gintoki tells him that he bet on another horse and after a head on head race between Justaway and Gin's horse Cheap Impact, it seemed at first that Justaway won but then it got disqualified and Cheap Impact won instead. But by that time Gin has already shred his ticket into pieces and neither of them won.

Yatai “Guchiri-Ya” (Whining Store) has three rules: One, a customer can come in alone and whine as much as they want. Two, if there’s a familiar face, pretend like you don’t know them. And three, do not share the stories you hear. Tonight’s customers are a drowsy-looking samurai with a sweet tooth, a Mayo samurai, and finally Mr. Gorilla (pseudonym). Though permitted to whine, the three customers cannot help feeling awkward about it. So the master speaks on their behalf and spills their usual complaints, causing panic amongst the group. Just then, a familiar-looking woman enters the Yatai and begins attacking the other customers with sharp words (and weapons)!

Today’s Tsu Terakado concert is another lively success. But fan club president Shinpachi is angered because only four of the Tsu Terakado fan club members have come to the concert. He is further enraged to learn that many of the club members have left without permission and have joined the new Tsusentai fan club instead. To Shinpachi’s surprise, the Tsusentai leader is Hijikata, who thanks to the demonic sword’s curse has now become a charismatic otaku! Can Shinpachi protect his only(?) distinctive trait from Tosshi’s onslaught?!

The fierce battle begins over the title of the Official Tsu Terakado fan club. Tosshi, Hijikata’s loser otaku personality created from a demonic sword, was once thought to have been defeated by Hijikata’s strong will, but in reality the personality still survives within him. By reigning as the king of otaku, Hijikata plans to put Tosshi’s soul to rest. Tosshi’s road to the king of otaku versus Shinpachi’s love for Otsu-chan. Who shall be victorious?!

The preliminary round for the Official Tsu Terakado fan club title is a marathon race. With Takachin in critical condition and Kagura taking the wrong route, team Shinpachi’s chances of winning look slim. But thanks to Gintoki’s quick thinking, Takachin makes an instant (and improved?) recovery and emerges from the hospital to rejoin the race! As the race gradually turns into a battle of deception, Shinpachi runs furiously for the goal. Will he be able to beat the tactical general Tosshi?!

Tosshi finishes the preliminary race in first place by rounding up all the contestants to block Shinpachi’s team from making the goal. Despite Toshi’s scheming, team Otsu-chan fan club makes a surprising comeback to finish in second place! Hijikata points out that the team cheated by changing their member lineup, but with his own member suspected of using a taxi, the objection is dropped. Kondo and Kagura also finish the race after taking the wrong route and being dropped off by the police. Meanwhile, what happened to Shinpachi who’s still in the race? That being said and done, the main event finally takes place!

For the second round in the Official Tsu Terakado fan club championships, it is a battle of charms. Both teams must come up with a virtualized situation where the winner is decided by Otsu-chan saying “yes.” First up is the Tsusengumi’s story, taking place in a bar with a beautiful night view. But the romantic mood is ruined thanks to Okita the narrator and assistants Kondo and “Mohawk” Yamazaki going out of control. Hijikata begins to panic, but with Kondo and the others’ carefully crafted stage direction he succeeds in asking Otsu-chan out. Shinpachi’s team find themselves in a tight situation, but...?

The time to settle the battle for the official fan club title is finally here. The match between Shinpachi and Hijikata is a card battle using Otsu chip playing cards. Never knowing such a thing existed, Shinpachi rushes to the vendor for some cards. Hijikata on the other hand is fully prepared and delivers the ultra powerful card “Melancholy 5-minutes before start”! Hijikata’s range of powerful attacks forces Shinpachi to stay on the defensive. Can he possibly find a way to make a counterattack?

After an intense battle, Shinpachi and Hijikata both fall to the ground with zero life points. Despite being exhausted and battered, the two men rise up to resume their battle. They fight as if their lives, no, their very souls, were on the line and Otsu begs them to stop. But nobody can stop them now. For their battle is no longer just for the title of official fan club...

Turns out the two have also caught the flu and want Shinpachi to look after them. Irritated by Gintoki and Kagura’s abrupt visit, not to mention their selfish demands, Shinpachi is surprised when even more sick guests arrive.

Hijikata is on a stakeout near the apartment’s dumpster. There, a sleepy Gintoki comes to throw away his trash. Finding Gintoki’s persistent intrusion a burden, Hijikata arrests Gintoki for insulting and obstructing an officer on duty. But while pushing and shoving each other, Hijikata accidentally handcuffs himself to Gintoki. Hijikata calls Okita who is staking out a different location to come and unlock them and take Gintoki to the Shinsengumi Headquarters. Instead, Okita puts a second pair of handcuffs on Gintoki and Hijikata. In the midst of all this, the Radical Joi Faction makes a move.

Tama works hard everyday starting early in the morning. Even when Otose tells her to take a break, Tama won’t and says she is happy just being with everyone. But Otose notices that Tama’s appearance has changed into that of an angular polygon from an old video game! While Otose and Gintoki discuss that it must have been brought on by overwork, Tama returns from shopping and has now regressed from polygons to pixels!! Why is she going through these changes? And will she be able to return to normal?!

After learning from Gengai that Tama has been infected by a computer virus, the Odd Jobs trio launch “Operation Midget” and enter Tama’s body to eradicate the virus. Inside, they find an injured man dressed in a white body suit who begs them to deliver a message to the king.

Using this as a diversion, the group storms the enemy base, only to be surrounded after Gintoki and the Leukocyte King get into an argument. But during their rumble to decide who’s the strongest, the two wind up destroying the black body suit minions. And finally, the Great Archfiend Tapir appears!

At last, Gintoki and his friends confront the Great Archfiend. While the Leukocyte King can’t lay a finger on the Great Archfiend who has taken Tama’s form, Gintoki attacks without giving a damn.

The man in question is said to go by various names, titles, and even faces. The only clue available is the tattooed spider on his neck.

Gintoki and Tsukuyo infiltrate the Benigumoto, the Red Spiders, to get a lead on the man with the tattooed spider on his neck, but are discovered and quickly surrounded. The two manage to fend for themselves, when the man with the tattooed spider makes a sudden appearance and attacks Gintoki! The man then speaks as if he knows Tsukuyo. Who is this man?!

Tsukuyo falls into the hands of Jiraia, her former master, and is held captive. Meanwhile Gintoki manages to survive the attack thanks to Zenzo, and he learns about Jiraia’s past. During the Amanto attack twenty years ago, Jiraia is said to have killed his own people within the Oniwabanshu, all for the sake of his devotion to the previous shogun. In the end Jiraia himself was the one to be terminated, but he managed to escape. Now his devotion is directed toward his own creation, Tsukuyo. Jiraia’s motive is to eliminate the bond that she has come to rely upon. And he intends to achieve that goal by setting fire to Yoshiwara and burning down everything!

Gintoki strikes down Jiraia and frees Tsukuyo from his twisted web. Chiding Tsukuyo for trying to shoulder every burden herself, Gintoki goes on to say that rather than throw away your life to die beautifully, it’s far better to live and be yourself, even if your life is not a pretty one.

Gengai has gone missing, and Ensho has brought out his trump card. How can the Odd Jobs, the Shinsengumi, Katsura, Sakamoto, and Nobunobu get out of this desperate situation?

In space, the battle between the Central Star Fleet and the Altana Liberation Army Fleet began, with the signal of a launch from the Central Star Battleship that Prince Hata was riding. Katsura's stealth ship attempts a surprise attack but is hit, and just when it seems like it will fail, Takasugi appears. A girl who lost her parents in the Joi War was crucified for a crime she was innocent of. The Joi Shishi and Hitokiri who rescued the girl were imprisoned, but they escaped with the cooperation of the shogunate official. That was when Takasugi, Matako, Bansai, and Takeichi met. Takasugi declares that he will destroy the world, and gives the command to lead the demon soldiers and attack!

Katsura, Sakamoto and the others begin a counterattack with the addition of the Oniheitai led by Takasugi. Motivated by the words of determination and joy, Takasugi and his friends run to stop the destructive weapon "Hinokagu Doshin" that is aiming for the Earth, and Katsura, Sakamoto and others run to kill Ensho, who leads the Altana Liberation Army. Meanwhile, on Earth, Gintoki and his friends are searching for Gengai, who has been abducted by the enemy. Kagura senses the presence of her compatriots and quickly reaches Gengai. Kagura begins fighting alone against the same Yototo tribe army, but is caught off guard and finds herself in a predicament...!

It was Kamui, who led the Harusame 7th Division, who saved Kagura. Kagura and Kamui engage in a night rabbit showdown between members of their own clan, and work together to defeat Master Roshi. Gintoki and Shinpachi rush there. Okita and his friends arrive, and as the Yorozuya, Shinsengumi, and 7th Division confront the remaining Yato, Koku suddenly appears. With an eerie smile, the out-of-control Altana erupts from the ground. In space, Takasugi and his friends receive reinforcements from Harusame, but it turns out that they only have 15 minutes until the Hinokagu Earth God is launched. Takeichi carries out a desperate strategy for the demon soldiers who are in a predicament.

Bansai remained alone in order to help Takasugi and his friends reach the control device of the Hinokagu Earth God. Once I had concentrated my forces as planned, I used the grenade strapped to my waist to wipe out the enemy, including myself. Takeichi tries to buy some time by ramming him with a small boat. A demon soldier who throws himself into battle. Takasugi's sword, which kept running without looking back, finally sliced ​​through the control device and caused a huge explosion. Sakamoto, Katsura, and Kiki arrive at the command center of the Tenchosen, whose control equipment has been destroyed and is destined to sink. Sakamoto asks for his surrender, but Ensho, who vows revenge, tells him that he will drop the whole ship on Earth.

The Liberation Army rushes to escape before the Tencho Ship falls on Earth. Takasugi, who led Harusame's army, appears there, and the final battle begins. Although Takasugi, Katsura, and Sakamoto make many sacrifices, they finally inflict a fatal wound on Ensho. When Ensho demands a final blow, Kiji proposes to end the war. Ensho tries to agree to peace through some cheerful persuasion, but is shot by the Liberation Army, who are enraged by this. The stray bullet collapses happily, and tensions rise again between the Liberation Army and the Earth Army. As his consciousness fades, the image of the previous general, Shigeshige, appears in his mind as he speaks to end the chain of hatred.

On the ground, shrine maiden sisters Anon and Momone were trying to use the power of the guardian god to stop Altana's rampage. The only people who can control Altana are the sisters and guardian gods of the shrine maiden clan who have been protecting the dragon pit since ancient times. As the sisters are running out of power, another guardian god, Sadaharu, shows up to lend her strength. Kagura and Kamui's father, Hoshiumi Bozu, appears in front of Gintoki and his friends, who are caught up in Altana's rampage, with a secret weapon. As a trump card to defeat the Hollow, he hands Gintoki a crystal sword made from crystal stones from the alien Altana and tells him to take it. Yorozuya searches for the missing Sadaharu. The imaginary opens the gate that controls the dragon veins and attempts to finally bring the end to the earth!

Shijaku, who has lost control of the Tenchou ship, tells his younger brother, Prince Hata, to shoot and destroy the ship with them in order to protect the Earth. After a struggle, Hata was about to give the firing order when he was punched away by Taizo Hasegawa. Hasegawa, a former head of the Immigration Bureau and currently unemployed, declares with pride that he has no choice but to save both the ship and the Earth. The Liberation Army, which resonated with the declaration, also lends its support. Sadaharu leaves the injured Anon and Momone behind to face the void all by himself. Yorozuya manages to rush to the scene, but he is unable to stop Sadaharu from being swallowed up by Altana, which cracks and spews out. With the mighty Altana behind him, the crystal sword that was his trump card is broken into pieces.

Even after being swallowed up by the torrent of Altana, Sadaharu still musters up his strength and succeeds in sealing off the dragon vein. Furthermore, the fragments of the crystal sword thrown by Gintoki erode Koku's body. Yorozuya launches an all-out attack on Koku, who can no longer regenerate his body properly. However, just one step away, the dragon vein revives and the void is regenerated. Just when it seems like this is all there is to it, the image of Sadaharu, who has become a half-spirit and is still trying to stop Altana, appears in the sky. Anon and Momone reduce the life force of people in Edo to power and give it to Sadaharu in an attempt to stop Altana's rampage once again. No matter how much he tries to end it, he stands up and is afraid of the human creature, and Kō cuts a knot with Gintoki.

The people of Edo come together to hunt down the imaginary. Gintoki and his friends stand up no matter how many times they are defeated and finally defeat the void. Realizing its defeat, Hollow fell into Altana's pit. Two years have passed since the fierce battle with the Hollow. Alien spaceships are flying through the sky once again, celestial beings are walking on their knees in the streets, and the old Edo has returned. Two years ago, the Tencho Ship that fell from space narrowly escaped a collision, and the Earth was saved. Edo, which had been reduced to tattered ruins, is now regaining its former appearance thanks to the efforts of reconstruction. Shinpachi continues to run the Yorozuya store by himself, keeping the trade name "Yorozuya Gin-chan." Then I heard a child's voice calling out "daddy"! ?

The Shinsengumi, which protected Edo and ushered in a new era, was scattered by the new government that had been established. The person in charge of the new government is Katsura, a former Joi patriot who has now risen to become the first Prime Minister as Donald Dulump. Matsudaira, a former commissioner of the National Police Agency, plots to assassinate Katsura, wondering if he can leave the country to such a former terrorist. He threatens Shinpachi, receives weapons for Katsura's assassination from a black market dealer, and instructs him to meet up with the assassin. Waiting for Shinpachi when he arrived at the pier was Mutsu, who was wearing a cloak with a pirate symbol. What came out of the luggage I was carrying was the most powerful weapon...! ?

Gintoki, who had left Edo and not been seen for two years, was standing on the site of the Matsushita Village School. When he reunites with Takasugi at the fateful place, the police show up and Takasugi runs away. The person who appeared before the captured Gintoki was Hijikata, who had been demoted to this area. Escaped from Hijikata's questioning, Gintoki goes into town and is attacked by someone. Just when he slips and falls into the river, Takasugi reappears on a boat. Meanwhile, in Edo, Shinpachi cannot hide his surprise at the appearance of a girl, Kanna, who calls Kagura "Mommy." The killers that appear are former Shinsengumi members led by Okita, who looks like a mafia member. Okita attacks Shinpachi as if testing his growth over the past two years. In the middle of the battle, something strange happened to the divine flow! ?

The girl who called herself Kagura was Kagura herself, who flew out of the earth to restore Sadaharu to normal and had acquired the ability to change her body. Shinpachi gently admonishes Kagura, who feels responsible for the Yorozuya falling apart because of him. Meanwhile, Gintoki and Takasugi, who have shaken off Naraku, board the ship. Gintoki takes out the Hollow Heart from his pocket and thinks back on how he came into possession of it. I searched around the dragon hole, thinking that the void that repeats its life must be born again somewhere. Then, he found the baby's Hollow, which had been born just as he had hoped, and raised him. When Takasugi tells Gintoki, who has been entrusted with the heart of the grown-up Hollow, that the Hollow's body is still alive, he suddenly begins to cough violently. There are traces of blood on his hands.

Two years ago, on the falling Tencho Ship, Takasugi took Oboro's remains into his body and gained the regenerative ability of Hollow. After the battle, the power of immortality came to be worshiped, and its believers started terror attacks in various places targeting Altana. Takasugi invites Gintoki to save his former master from the curse, and the two descend on the town of Edo. Hijikata and Yamazaki follow them. When Gintoki is about to be followed, the two quickly disguise themselves as mannequins from a clothing store. Unfortunately, Otae comes shopping there, and Gintoki joins him in what looks like a mannequin...!

Gintoki, who does not want people to notice that he has returned to Edo town, disguises himself as a mannequin and manages to escape. Just as Gintoki is about to go out into town again wearing a Takasugi style wig and kimono, a kunai rains down on Gintoki. It was Sacchan's doing as he waited for Gintoki to return. Sacchan, unaware of Gintoki's disguise, threatens to tell him where he is. Gintoki and Fake Sugi try to push through with Takasugi's spirit, but the pressure is reversed and they are captured. Where he was taken, Edo women such as Tsukuyomi, Otae, and Kyubey were waiting. The girls, too, had been waiting for Gintoki's return, who had silently left. What action will Gintoki take after knowing everyone's thoughts?

Ensho's past is revealed, and Takasugi revolves to make a final stand to take him down.

The story shifts back to Earth, where Utsuro has made the Altana ley lines go berserk. Some old, familiar faces rise up to combat it.

Shijaku presents his brother, Prince Hata, with an impossible choice. As he finally makes his decision, Hasegawa suggests a different solution.

As Sadaharu fights to quell the rampaging ley lines, the gang puts it all on the line to take down Utsuro.

The Odd Jobs are joined by old friends in their battle to save the Earth. Utsuro is surprised by a side of humanity he had never seen before.

Two years have passed, and Gintoki has shut down the Odd Jobs business and gone off to do something only he can do. Shinpachi has other ideas, though.

Shinpachi is forced into a plot to assassinate the inaugural prime minister of Japan, Donald Zuramp!

Okita and Kagura's daughter (?) rekindle their rivalry, and Okita senses something is off. Meanwhile, Gintoki runs into an old friend.

Gintoki and Takasugi reveal to each other what they've been doing over the past two years, and decide to go save the one thing they never managed to save in the past: their teacher.

Now back in Edo, Gintoki doesn't know how to face his old friends, and so he decides to try and avoid running into any of them. However, that won't be easy.

Having caught Takasugi Shinsfake, the ladies' gang decides to teach him a lesson and try and get him to spill the beans on where Gintoki is. How will Shinsfake survive this?
