Gintama: The Semi-Final

With the fighting eased for the moment and Edo in the midst of recovery, Gintoki crosses paths with Shinpachi on a bridge—only Shinpachi hasn’t realized he’s back. When the Yorozuya are suddenly drawn into a clash with the Tenshouin Naraku, tensions spike and suspicion spreads, leaving Gintoki to hide his face with whatever he can grab: a loincloth. He makes it out of the scuffle and heads to the Yorozuya office, unaware that an unexpected visitor is already waiting inside.

Elsewhere, Kondou leaves Earth to marry Princess Bubbles as part of a diplomatic effort. Aboard the Gorilla Amanto mothership, his inability to speak their language turns every exchange into a misunderstanding—one that somehow wins him their approval. But as the ceremony unfolds, a figure connected to the princess barges in, throwing the wedding into uncertainty and raising the question of whether Kondou is headed for a political triumph or a very different fate.
