Gintama: The Very Final

Synopsis

Continues the story of Gintama: The Semi-Final

As the war temporarily calms down and Edo rebuilds, Gintoki finds Shinpachi—who is still unaware of his return—on a bridge. However, as a fight quickly breaks out between the Yorozuya and the Tenshouin Naraku, suspicion grows, forcing Gintoki to use what is nearest—a loincloth—to mask his identity. Saved for the time being, Gintoki enters the Yorozuya office, but unbeknownst to him, someone else is already waiting there... Meanwhile, Kondou departs Earth to marry Princess Bubbles in an attempt to improve diplomatic relations. After boarding the Gorilla Amanto mother ship, he realizes that he doesn't speak their language. Confused, Kondou tries conversing with them, only to inadvertently gain their support. However, someone associated with the princess crashes the ongoing ceremony. Will the wedding continue, or has Kondou just been saved from becoming the next Gorilla Prince?

Two years after the Tendoshuu's assault on the O-Edo Central Terminal, the Yorozuya team has disbanded.

He encounters surviving Tendoshuu members who still seek immortality, and eventually returns to Edo. Once reunited, the Shinsengumi and Yorozuya launch a counterattack on the occupied Central Terminal. With the extracted Altana from the Tendoshuu ship at risk of exploding, the Yorozuya and their allies fight a fierce battle against their enemies, with the fate of Edo and the world at stake. In memory of their mentor, Shouyou Yoshida's former students gather once more, reflecting on their past as they work toward securing their future.
