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.

In this installment

Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura are back as the cheerful yet broke Yorozuya team. In an alternate Edo where alien invaders rule Japan and swords have been banned, they scrape by taking any odd jobs they can find. However, Shinpachi and Kagura are still waiting for their wages—could Gin-chan really be blowing everything on pachinko? Then one night, a drunk Gintoki stumbles home just as an alien spaceship crashes nearby. A fatally wounded crew member emerges and hands him a strange, clock-shaped device, warning that it holds incredible power and must be safeguarded. Mistaking it for his alarm clock, Gintoki smashes it the next morning and finds the world outside his apartment has come to a standstill. With Kagura and Shinpachi by his side, he heads out to get the device fixed—but as always, nothing comes easy for the Yorozuya. Packed with tongue-in-cheek humor and heartfelt moments, Gintama's fourth season pushes Gintoki and his friends into both their most hilarious misadventures and most dangerous crises yet.
