A 15-second commercial was released to announce the news and it shows various action scenes from the movie along with the release date and new visual.

An illustration was also released along with the news on their website.

The new visual seems very wholesome and emotional as it is the end of the franchise. It shows Gintoki hugging his friends Kagura and Shinpachi as Sadaharu tries to hop over the trio.

The ban on the limited edition benefits such as the DVD’s three-sided illustration drawn by Shinji Takeuchi and specific information store privilege has also been lifted.

Along with the movie, the whole package also includes:

  • Gintama: The Final main part sub-audio 
  • Gintama: The Semi-Final Manjiya Hen & Shinsengumi Hen Sub-audio
  • Character Design 
  • Shinji Takeuchi’s newly drawn three-sided box & digital case, and much more!

The movie was released in Japan on January 8th, did well at the box office, and sold more than 1 million tickets.

Gintama: The Final is supposed to be the final installment of the whole Gintama franchise as it plays the conclusion of the series.

Being the pro of parodies, the film has several references and easter eggs which are very apparent throughout the movie.

For instance, the movie opens as a Dragon Ball parody where it shows Gintoki as Goku, the protagonist of Dragon Ball, and all of the other characters drawn in the same art style. 

There is a serious plot to the story, but this action-packed comedy is most well-known for its comedy and parodies.

About Gintama

The story is set in an alternate-history late-Edo period, where humanity is attacked by aliens called ‘Amanto.’ Edo Japan’s samurai fight to defend Earth, but the shōgun cowardly surrenders when he realizes the aliens’ power.

He agrees to an unequal contract with the aliens, placing a ban on carrying swords in public and allowing the invaders to enter the country.

The samurai’s swords are confiscated, and the Tokugawa bakufu becomes a puppet government.

The series focuses on an eccentric samurai, Gintoki Sakata, who works as an odd-jobs freelancer. Although the story is mostly episodic, a few story arcs and recurring antagonists develop.
