In Edo, a city where samurai once thrived with courage and ambition, the arrival of the powerful alien race known as the Amanto shattered those dreams. The former shogunate now operates under foreign rule, and a new law prohibits carrying swords in public. Gintoki Sakata, a peculiar man with silver hair and a habit of carrying a wooden sword, continues to live as a samurai despite the ban. As the leader of Yorozuya, a small business that takes on odd jobs, he often sets out on missions to help others, though his methods are unusual and frequently chaotic. Alongside Shinpachi Shimura, a bespectacled youth training to be a samurai, Kagura, a strong and gluttonous tomboy, and Sadaharu, their enormous pet dog who likes to bite heads, the Yorozuya navigate the many challenges posed by the diverse residents of Edo, from alien nobility to local gang conflicts.

Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura are back as the perpetually broke but cheerful members of the Yorozuya team. In an alternate-reality Edo where swords are forbidden and alien invaders have taken over Japan, they scrape by taking whatever odd jobs come their way. Still, Shinpachi and Kagura haven't seen a single payment—could Gin-chan really be blowing all the money on pachinko? One night, a drunken Gintoki stumbles home just as an alien spacecraft crashes nearby. A mortally wounded crew member crawls out and hands him a strange, clock-shaped device, warning that it holds immense power and must be protected. Mistaking it for his alarm clock, Gintoki smashes it the next morning—only to find the world outside his apartment frozen in time. With Kagura and Shinpachi by his side, he sets out to get the device repaired. Of course, nothing ever goes smoothly for the Yorozuya team. Packed with irreverent humor and heartfelt moments, Gintama's fourth season sees Gintoki and his friends face their wildest misadventures and most dangerous threats yet.
