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.

In this installment

In Gintama Season 5, after aligning with the anti-shogunate rebellion, Gintoki and his team retreat alongside Katsura and his Joui forces. They are approached by Nobume Imai and two Kiheitai members, who reveal that the Harusame pirates have betrayed 7th Division Commander Kamui and their comrade Takasugi. The Kiheitai enlist Gintoki to locate Takasugi, who disappeared following a Harusame ambush. Nobume also discloses a startling revelation concerning the Tendoushuu, a secretive group influencing multiple factions, and their enigmatic leader, Utsuro, who bears a striking resemblance to Gintoki’s former mentor. Aboard Sakamoto’s spacecraft, the Yorozuya and Katsura travel to Rakuyou, Kagura’s home world, where numerous groups have gathered amid rising tensions. Old rivalries, political strife, and the Tendoushuu’s hidden scheme all converge in a decisive, large-scale conflict on Rakuyou.
