In this installment
While Gintoki Sakata is away, the Yorozuya gang gains a new leader in Kintoki, a golden-haired doppelganger of Gintoki. To get his old position back, Gintoki needs help from the people around him, but that proves difficult when no one can recall his existence. The rivalry between Kintoki and Gintoki raises the question of who will ultimately take the spotlight as the main character. Meanwhile, the Yorozuya returns to the red-light district of Yoshiwara to assist an elderly courtesan searching for her long-lost lover. Although the district is no longer chained beneath the earth, the trio soon uncovers the tragic histories of Yoshiwara's residents that still linger. Through numerous flashbacks, the Yorozuya witnesses enduring love and strives to protect it with all their hearts and souls. Gintama': Enchousen delivers moments of intense action alongside the usual lighthearted, slapstick humor that Gintoki and his companions are known for.
