Gintama: The Final (銀魂 THE FINAL)

Celebrating 15 years of GINTAMA anime

Presented by GINTAMA Theatrical Production Committee

The land of the samurai.

There was a time, long ago, when our country was called by that name.

Those dream-filled blue skies upon which the samurai once gazed

are now filled with ships from strange worlds.

The streets where the samurai once proudly walked

are now filled with swaggering, arrogant aliens.

Hey, dammit!

But a select few rose up to face this crisis,

one unprecedented in the Edo of old...

They were the samurai.

No...

They were the Z Warriors!

Part 1: The Super Long Story

Part 1: The Super Long Story!

So, planets out there in the universe have a thing called Altana,

a sort of energy that's like that world's life force.

On Earth, it's also known as ley lines.

That energy led to the birth of the immortal fiend known as Utsuro.

As a result of living life after life, an existence of never-ending suffering,

Utsuro developed multiple separate personalities.

One of these was teacher of Gintoki and the others

and founder of the Shoka Sonjuku school,

Shoyo Yoshida.

With the goal of destroying the entire planet, himself included,

Utsuro waged war against the known universe.

The people of Edo resisted with all their might,

and at the end of a fierce battle,

the Odd Jobs and their allies showed real strength

and forced Utsuro to fall into the ley lines.

It was then that, having used up all his energy to contain the ley lines,

the dog deity called Sadaharu entered a long coma.

Later, the members of the Odd Jobs

found their respective goals and set off on their own paths.

Two Years Later

And so, two years passed...

I'm gonna do it!

I will become the Pirate King!

Huh? No, wait.

Not that "two years later."

We've done so many two- and five-year timeskips,

it's hard to keep the story straight at this point.

Ah, here! This is it!

Let's see...

Kagura looked to find a way to return Sadaharu to normal,

while Shinpachi remained in Edo.

Meanwhile, Gintoki, having foreseen Utsuro's return,

made the rounds of the gates, the openings in various, scattered areas

from which the ley lines' power erupts.

Utsuro's genes continued to survive deep underground within the ley lines.

Over two years, they rebuilt his physical form,

and he was reborn at a remote ley line.

Gintoki wandered the lands with Utsuro, who grew rapidly, in tow.

One day, it became clear that the body

housed a personality that could be Shoyo.

However, Utsuro was captured by the Death Star Sect,

led by the remnants of the Tendoshuu.

To prevent them from gaining a perfect immortal,

he left his heart alone with Gintoki.

In order to complete Utsuro's recovery,

and by extension their own immortality,

the Sect sets its sights on Earth's Altana.

At the ruins of the Shoka Sonjuku, Gintoki is reunited with Takasugi,

who has used the bones of senior student Oboro

to become partially immortal.

In order to thwart the Sect's plans,

Gintoki and Takasugi head for Edo.

Upon returning to Edo,

Gintoki spots the older Shinpachi and Kagura

but doesn't make contact.

Meanwhile, Katsura, the first Prime Minister,

uses his office to investigate the Sect's actions.

In order to draw out the Sect,

Takasugi blows up the Terminal and attempts to assassinate Katsura.

Katsura uses the assassination as cover

to relinquish his position as Prime Minister.

The pupils of the Shoka Sonjuku school once again come together.

Even the Shinsengumi,

who were pretending to have disbanded, regroup.

Meanwhile, the gorilla was holding a wedding ceremony.

After much ado, the ship carrying Kondo

attacks the Sect's Mobile Cathedral Kuyo,

causing the wreckage to fall atop the Terminal.

Kondo reunites with the Shinsengumi.

However, the Sect occupies the Terminal,

and the city is plunged into danger.

Edo is once again faced with harm.

This is when Shinpachi, Kagura,

and the residents of Kabuki District gather in front of Odd Jobs

and set off to battle.

To fulfill the wishes of, and save, their teacher,

Gintoki, Takasugi, and Katsura decide to rescue Utsuro.

The Terminal would be the battlefield.

Will the Z Warriors be able to reclaim the future?

Nobody could pay attention to the recap with those visuals!

Wolf Fang Fist

Wolf Fang Fist!

Not only was it way too long,

the art style made it look like it was for a completely different show!

It looked like some fan-made Dragon Ball anime!

Dragen Bell? What are you talking about, Katsurass?

I'm not Katsurass! I'm Katsura!

So the anime staff have finally gotten serious, huh?

Free from the shackles of TV production,

they've finally started putting some effort into the animation.

This is what the animation staff are truly capable of.

They're just drawing while holding Dragon Balls in their left hands!

And why do I have to be Yamcha while this fool is Vegeta?!

That makes me look like a total loser!

So stupid! I'm not playing along with your nonsense.

It pains me to say it, but you're virtually identical.

And when did you become a master at growing a widow's peak?

You guys just don't get it, do you?

We've gone beyond the final TV episode,

beyond the manga's ending scams,

and finally reached this point...

this new world: the movie theater!

And it's up to us to show those in attendance here today...

our power, and the power of Akira Toriyama!

Shoyo, looks like things worked out somehow, huh?

Yes! No matter what anyone says,

things did work out somehow!

Got that right!

And this marks the end of the cinematic exploits

of Gintoki and his companions.

Their path ahead is sure to be rife with trials and tribulations,

but they will no doubt be able to overcome them.

They will be fine, for they have the Silver Balls.

What the hell are Silver Balls?

Galick Gun!

Kakarot!

Are they balls that can grant wishes?

Or are they the same as the pea you call a brain?

If balls that convenient really existed,

none of us would be here in this position right now.

And yet, I'd like to be grateful.

We managed to get this far on our own two feet.

With our own power,

with these very hands of ours...

we will take back everything...

we lost.

That's how we, the students of Shoyo, do things, right?

GINTAMA

Part 2: Fate

Fire!

Eliminate them!

Bring the hammer down upon those heretics

who would interfere with our divine summon...

Divine summoning?

That's rich, coming from a bunch of fools looking for immortality on the cheap!

Look. Their ship is down,

but it's still drawing Altana from the Earth

through the Terminal's core.

The Seireimon Gate is still operating?

And with that Altana,

even an incomplete god without a heart

can be brought back to life?

I'm more surprised that so many people

want to live forever in this awful world.

My life has put me through more than enough joys and sorrows.

If I can overcome that last, final trial with you all...

I won't mind if my life is to end right here!

Would our meeting be one of the joys?

Or is it one of the sorrows?

There's no telling at this point,

but there is one thing that's for sure...

We hated and tried to kill each other,

but still our ties couldn't be broken.

I'm sick of you idiots,

and I'm sick of being given the runaround by you fools.

I sure hope this life is the last one you ruin for me!

That so?

Too bad for you, though.

You guys can't die just yet.

I won't let you.

I get how they feel.

I don't want to die. I want to keep on living.

Because there's this fool of a teacher who's put me through so much,

and this other idiot who just threw me like a sack of potatoes,

and I'm not done beating them up.

I have some things I'd like to say to Sensei as well.

Same here. A great many things.

How long will you have to beat him up to feel better?

An eternity wouldn't be long enough!

Zura!

To the people occupying the Terminal

you are completely surrounded.

Resistance is futile.

Give yourselves up now!

If you don't...

Shoot them down!

If you don't,

let me express my gratitude.

Thanks to you all,

our country has become this strong!

Go!

Those guys...

Let's go!

Decades have passed since you Amanto came to Earth.
