Synopsis
With Earth facing invasion by the Altana Liberation Army, Gintoki Sakata, Kagura, and Shinpachi Shimura join Kabukicho’s residents in defending Edo. Former enemies and scattered allies converge as battles unfold both on the planet and aboard the invading fleet.
This first cour of the Silver Soul Arc adapts the opening phase of the manga’s final major arc. Its large-scale warfare brings together characters and organizations from across the series while preserving Gintama’s mixture of combat, parody, slapstick, and civic solidarity.
