Thank you for attending Gintama Sakura Matsuri 2011
To the 10,000 Gintama fans here at Ryougoku Sumo Hall and the 13,000 Gintama fans at the 63 streaming locations in the country, please enjoy the GSM 2011
Now, we’ll stream the opening talk.
As for everyone here at the Sumo Hall,
please treat this as the usual Gintama “sound only” broadcast.
Alright, to all the livestream audience of Gintama Sakura Matsuri 2011
Good evening!
We’re the Shinsengumi!
So Gintama Sakura Matsuri 2011 is about to start.
That’s true, but what kind of opening is this? There’s someone who’s abnormally thin here. What’s going on.
I’m not abnormally thin~
Look, he’s not even 1cm thick.
But he sure can talk.
Vice Commander is like this all the time. He’s normally like this.
I’m talking~ Vice Commander is like this all the time. He’s normally like this.
Vice Commander is like this all the time. He’s normally like this.
Exactly~ Vice Commander is like this all the time. He’s normally like this.
Exactly~
I don’t think so… Exactly~
I don’t think so…
So let’s continue.
So this clip is aired only to the people streaming in the theaters.
Really?
I see. Really?
Really?
As for the Sumo Hall right now, um, it should be sound only. So…
So we can do this, right.
Wow, awesome.
What are you doing~
So even if you did this kind of stupid thing, they wouldn’t be able to see. What are you doing~
So even if you did this kind of stupid thing, they wouldn’t be able to see.
Alright, stop it. I told you to stop it!
So it’s like that? It’s awesome.
So which theaters can you watch this in? Come, let’s take a look. So it’s like that? It’s awesome.
So which theaters can you watch this in? Come, let’s take a look.

Wow, this is awesome. Is everyone watching at the same time? Wow, awesome! There are so many! There are 63 in total. 63 theaters with more than 13,000 people!
Wow, this is awesome. Is everyone watching at the same time?
Yeah, everyone is watching. Watching us make a fool of ourselves. There’s really a lot all over the country.
Hey, listen. The GSM is about to start. Yeah, everyone is watching. Watching us make a fool of ourselves. There’s really a lot all over the country.
Hey, listen. The GSM is about to start.
It’s ok, let’s just continue like this.
Oh no, we can’t do that.
Why can’t we do this for the whole two hours? Oh no, we can’t do that.
Why can’t we do this for the whole two hours?
I already said no! Behave yourselves! Ok. To everyone watching GSM right now Why can’t we do this for the whole two hours?
I already said no! Behave yourselves! Ok. To everyone watching GSM right now
Something's coming! Something's coming!
Thank you everyone – oiii! You can’t see us anymore! Something's coming! Something's coming!
Thank you everyone – oiii! You can’t see us anymore!
Hey, stop it!
Oi, all of you!
I can’t believe you made it all the way here to Gintama Sakura Matsuri.
I’m the Shinsengumi Vice Commander, Hijikata Toushirou.
Okita here~
Now I’m going to announce the rules for watching Gintama Sakura Matsuri here at the Sumo Hall. Pay~ attention.
And then repeat after me!
One.
Set your phones on silent!
If your phone rings in the middle of the event, it’ll scare other people.
Two.
No photography or recording of the event!
They're gonna shamelessly sell this on DVD anyway.
If you want to watch this again, go buy that.
That’s how it goes. If you don’t want to be filmed, just put on some eye mask.
Three.
Just focus and be excited!
I don’t want you telling me that.
Huh? What did you say?
Tch. Here’s the last rule.
Playing badminton in the Sumo Hall is strictly forbidden
If you break any of the rules above, go commit seppuku
You hear?
Oi Sougo, where’s Yamazaki?
Playing badminton over there.
Yamazaki, you ***!
I already said it's strictly forbidden.
Strictly forbidden!
Gintama Sakura Matsuri is about to start.
So Patsuan, is this event really gonna be okay?
To be honest, it shouldn’t be okay.
Yeah right?
Haru Matsuri barely made it, so this one is gonna be even worse. this is already a convoluted event,
to make it even more convoluted is just asking for a convoluted convoluted convoluted event that goes on and on
Nobody’s gonna be interested in all the dubbing dubbing dubbing.
To put it bluntly, it goes on and on, and it’s tight. The staff are about to snap.
If it just goes on and on, we can pretend this is the normal Gintama,
but if it’s useless and dragging on and on, we'll snap too
It’s ok. If anything happens, just blame Shinpachi.
Why me?
Oh, I agree. We’ll add something like “Produced by Shinpachi” at the end, o~kay~?
Not ok! I’m the only one taking the criticism, of course I’m not ok with it!
There’s nothing to praise about you anyway, you ***.
Y’know, that really hurts my feelings.
So that’s how it goes. It’s all on you now, Pattsuan.
Alright.
Eh?
“Produced by Shinpachi” is precisely what I intend. So Gin-san et al, listen to me.
Um, Shinpachi-kun, your gaze is scary…
So Gin-san! Greet everyone in the audience!
Eh? Um, how are you...
You're too soft!
How-
Where's your energy!
How are you!
Good~! Keep that up!
Are we going on and on?
Yeah!
Alright, let the Gintama Sakura Matsuri 2011 begin!
We kinda fooled them!
How is everyone?!
Do you all love Gintama?
But of course.
Uh...

It will eat people's souls, and it’s a terrifying sword.
Takasugi.
I don't remember how many times i also wanted to destroy this world.
We've come this far, so we'll see you off till the end.
You're 100 years too early to defeat me, little lady!
It's not irrelevant!
As if anything can be irrelevant!
Watch closely
See how much power this thing you call ''irrelevant'' actually has.
Don't get in the way!
The stupidest samurai
Yorozuya Gin-chan is passing through!
Gintoki!
You had better not change!
It would take a lot of mettle to kill you. I wouldn't take the job
Zura!
When you change, I'll be the one to take you down!
Takasugi!
That's how it is!
Next time we meet, it won't matter that you used to be our comrade!
We'll cut you down with all that we have!
Thank you for waiting.
Here's the Yorozuya and Zura.
you’re starting off with that already?
Okay, fine.
That's it?
I'm Sakata Gintoki, aka Tomokazu Sugita. Have fun today.
I'm Shimura Shinpachi, aka Daisuke Sakaguchi. Nice to meet you!
I'm Kagura, aka Rie Kugimiya. Everyone, be excited!
I’m Katsura Kotarou, aka Akira Ishida.
Keep up the enthusiasm! Nice to meet you!
We've kept you waiting for a long time.
A lot of things happened these past 5 months.
but we’re finally able to meet you all again.
Gintama Sakura Matsuri 2011 will give you a great performance today!
Please enjoy it slowwwwly to the end!
Why did you say slowly?
He said slowly.
You don’t understand the concept of speaking slowly! Eh?
Something’s happening. Something problematic is going on.
Something problematic is going on.
There, there.
Over there.
Those guys don't get drenched in any extravagant colors
and they don't get dyed clothing!
I'm not a Bakufu or a supporter of the Shogun
but my captain from that time was...
You guys are so quick to jump into a fight.
Don't let Toshi and Sougo have all the fun!
Day 22 of living on anpan.
I sparking the anpan into the sky!
Um, excuse me.
Those were some really cool lines, but what the heck was that last one.
You’re not on the same level of ordinary as I am.
Ok, ok. Question, question.
Yeah?
Sorry, but lil’ Nakai* wasn’t able to make it to the daytime event,
So why is it like this again?
What are you talking about? This is Nakai-san.
That’s your everyday Nakai-san.
Yeah, exactly.
You're lying! Yeah, exactly.
You're lying!
Is there a problem? Anyway, we’re all here, so let’s introduce ourselves.
I'm Kondo Isao, aka Chiba Susumu.
Welcome to the world of Gintama!
Nice to meet you!
And then...
I’m Nakai Kazuya
Your pitch is too high!
Hello!
Hello!
Who is this…
Nice to meet you, I’m Nakai Kazuya.
You’re a terrible person.
Nice to meet you.
He didn't even try to deny it.
I’m Okita Sougo, aka Suzumura Kenichi. Nice to meet you!
I’m Yamazaki Sagaru, aka Ohta Tetsuharu.
Please have fun today,everyone!
Enjoy!
So let’s create some summer memories together.
It’s a bit sudden.
It really is a bit sudden.
Two days ago, we had an emergency script change.
Shinsengumi First Division Captain, Okita Sougo, his voice actor Suzumura Kenichi-san, on August 8, g-g-g-ot married!
Suzumura Kenichi-sannnn~
Congratulations!
Thank you very much!
Please continue to support Gintama and me!
Thank you!
So that happened. While we wish Suzumura-kun the best, the rest of us are temporarily forgotten.
You’re right.
So let’s get started.
Even though it’s the sakura festival, it’s held during the summer.
what should we do in the summer?
I’m married, but I’m gonna hit on girls.
You can’t do that!
But you said summer. It’s not that I want to do it. Summer is the season to hit on girls! Isn’t it?!
That’s coming from someone who’s married… But you said summer. It’s not that I want to do it. Summer is the season to hit on girls! Isn’t it?!
That’s coming from someone who’s married…
I ate shaved ice. I really like it,
it’s very tasty!
And Ishida-san?
Hm, what would I do?
24-hour marathon?
Ahhhhh, that’s it!
Hello everyone! I’m Hasegawa Taizou, aka Tachiki Fumihiko.
Right now, I’m at the starting point of the 2… 24-hour marathon – no, the 2.4-hour marathon.
Um, Tachiki-san, calm down. You’re too excited.
Am i?
Should you be so excited? Are you going to run in the 2.4-hour marathon?
‘Course not!
I’m here too!
Hi everyone! I’m Otose, aka Kujira~ I’m here too!
Hi everyone! I’m Otose, aka Kujira~
Hello, Kujira-san~
Kujira-san is shiny today
Right~?
Oh sorry, that’s sweat. Right~?
Right~?
Yeah, it is sweat. I’m drenched in sweat.
What do you mean drenched?
No, I really am drenched.
So who’s running? No, I really am drenched.
So who’s running?
It’s not Kujira-san. So who’s running?
It’s not Kujira-san.
It’s not me? Then who’s running?
Otsuu-chan!
Hi everyone, thank you for coming this year corn poop.
So this is where we are right now.
Where is that?
Look! It’s the marathon, so it’s the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building!
It’s the Government Building! Look! It’s the marathon, so it’s the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building!
Look! It’s the marathon, so it’s the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building!
Why is it daytime?! Look! It’s the marathon, so it’s the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building!
It’s daytime! Look! It’s the marathon, so it’s the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building!
The Sumo Hall is the final destination. Otsuu-chan is going to start running now! Look! It’s the marathon, so it’s the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building!
The Sumo Hall is the final destination. Otsuu-chan is going to start running now!
The Sumo Hall is the final destination. Otsuu-chan is going to start running now!
What time is it?! The time’s wrong! The Sumo Hall is the final destination. Otsuu-chan is going to start running now!
What time is it?! The time’s wrong!
Are you ready, Otsuu-chan?
Once Otsuu-chan arrives at the finishing point, she’s going to give a concert!
Awesome! Look forward to it!
So let’s get started! Are you mentally prepared, Otsuu-chan?
Yes~ I’ll do my best! Everyone, wait for me at the finishing point necromancer!
So once I say, “Ready, set, go!” you can go!
So ready, set, go~
Do your best! We’ll wait for you!
Commander!
What is it, Zaki?
Whether it’s this event, or the recent anime episodes, our screentime has increased a lot.
Has it?
For example, we appeared in the sparking episode, the bathhouse episode, the factory episode, the pool episode…
We did appear, but as individuals…
That’s true. What’s going on? It’s been a long time since the Shinsengumi appeared as a whole.
The last time it happened… was the New Year’s Card episode?
I don’t want to see Hijikata-san.
What a coincidence. Same here.
Kondo-san, this is a great opportunity.
We’ve let it slide up till now, but let’s arrest the Yorozuya once and for all, so we can substitute them and become the main characters.
That way, the event today will be our show!
Alright, we’ll do that! Toushi, Sougo, Zaki, follow me!
Shinsengumi, get ready!
Well we made it here, but I don’t see the Yorozuya crew.
Maybe the three of them went to the poop in the toilet together.
That’s not possible!
So what are we gonna do now that we’re hosting?
It’s summer, but we should have a concert.
There’s a lot of concerts everywhere, every year, so let’s have a concert here in the Sumo Hall, and let them know about the excellent Shinsengumi.
How ‘bout it, Commander?
Sounds good. If you can perform in front of all these people, the Shinsengumi image will improve.
Otae-san will also fall in love with me. Right, Toushi?
It’ll certainly improve our image.
If Hijikata-san dies at the same time, it’ll get even better.
Oi, Sougo, what did you say.
Nothin’.
Vice Commander, Captain Okita, stop fighting.
It’s gonna start.
Let’s announce it together.
Gintama, count down!
Even though we’re not counting down.
Thank you, Prague!
So who’s next?
The next is gonna be –
Oi! What the hell are you doing, you stupid cops?!
The main character is me,
it’s Gin-san!
Even though you appeared right from the start, this event is still hosted by the Yorozuya!
That’s right! Minor characters should just go home and wash their armpits!
Hi everyone! Thank you for coming today. I’m the Yorozuya boss with the silky hair, Sakata Gintoki!
I’m the Yorozuya beauty, Kagura.
Calm down, Gin-san, Kagura-chan. It’s a festival, so let’s get along with the Shinsengumi folks.
What are you talking about, Shinpachi?
Those people are gonna step all over us again! We have to be firm!
That’s right, Shinpachi. That’s why you’ll never be able to part with your glasses.
This has nothing to do with my glasses!
Everyone’s waiting for us. Let’s introduce the next band.
Well then, take this away, FLiP!
Please enjoy Gintama Sakura Matsuri all the way to the end! Thank you, we're FLiP.
Thank you, FLiP!
Gintoki, I heard we’re holding some event for the Joi Patriots, so I came over, but is it ok to host everything here?
Zura, go back to Orb.
* Gundam reference* Zura, go back to Orb.
* Gundam reference*
It’s not Alex, it’s Katsura! * Gundam reference*
It’s not Alex, it’s Katsura!
Oh, you’re here too, Leader!
I want to use music to steal everyone’s heart like tsuraaa.
Zura janai, Katsurap da yo!
Ah, wrong, I mean it’s Katsura!
Speaking of which, it’s time for me to recite poetry.
Katsura-san, you’re not the one performing. It’s Takahashi Hitomi-san next.
To keep this going, I’m just going to say it – Takahashi-san!
Everyone here in the Sumo Hall, and everyone around the country, sing with me!
Takahashi-san, thank you!
Yorozuya! You got some guts.
Hah! We’re the ones who’re supposed to host this event!
It’s your own fault for being slow.
Now that you’ve said it, you think we’re afraid of you?!
You think I’m afraid of you, Hijikata?!
Shinpachi-kun, you can treat me as your older brother from now on. Just leave everything to me.
Absolutely not.
Ah, Katsura! Stop!
It’s not Katsura, it’s Katsu-Era!
Ah, wrong, it’s Katsura!
Who’s going to be foolish enough to stop just because he’s told to stop?
Ah, it’s anpan. It’s an anpan weapon!
This kind of closing…
Oi, what’s going on?!
Why is the person who’s supposed to be running giving someone else a massage?
You’re on live. Running? Are you running? What’s going on?
Is everyone excited?
We started from the Government Building, and now we’re passing Shinjuku Odori Shopping Street. We’re going to go see a red thing!
It feels like some small show.
That’s right.
Hey, we can’t see Otsuu-chan at all. That’s right.
Hey, we can’t see Otsuu-chan at all.
Oh really?
Can we take a look at Otsuu-chan?
What about Otsuu-chan? I can’t hear you.
Otsuu-chan… I said we can’t see Otsuu-chan anymore!!! What about Otsuu-chan? I can’t hear you.
Otsuu-chan… I said we can’t see Otsuu-chan anymore!!!
Who’s screaming? Whatever. Otsuu-chan… I said we can’t see Otsuu-chan anymore!!!
Who’s screaming? Whatever.
Don’t dismiss me.
It’s good enough just to show me.
Wait, no.
As you can see, the red thing is the Thunder Gate!
We’ve arrived at Sensou. It’s been a long time, how nostalgic.
We’re not listening to you, Tachiki-san. We’ve arrived at Sensou. It’s been a long time, how nostalgic.
We’re not listening to you, Tachiki-san.
Give us Otsuu-chan! Is Otsuu-chan ok?!
That’s it from us! This is live from the 2.4-hour marathon. Back to you. Give us Otsuu-chan! Is Otsuu-chan ok?!
That’s it from us! This is live from the 2.4-hour marathon. Back to you.
You’re just doing whatever you want!
In the end, it’s still what we do all the time.
Yeah. That’s how it is.
So what does everyone think of the Countdown Gintama? Not bad, right?
S-something about that person over there. He’s become thick.
Eh? Who’s this?
Hello, I’m Nakai Kazuya.
What was up with the Tahara Toshihiko style? Are you alright?
I’m fine. I’ve always been here.
I just expanded just now
Is that so? Did you eat?
I did eat.
I guess he became thin because he’s starving all the time.
Yeah, that happens a lot. Everyone are you having fun? I guess he became thin because he’s starving all the time.
Yeah, that happens a lot. Everyone are you having fun?
Keep up the energy! Let’s make this the best festival ever!
Nakai-kun, use English next.
Let's party! Yeah!
Party!
It’s a different series, but if there is a Nakai-kun line, it’s gotta be this one.
Yup.
So, you might not have noticed, but today, we have a special guest sneaking in and sitting on the stage.
Let’s welcome Tachiki Fumihiko-san!
Sup~ Hello Gintama!
I’m Madao!
Let’s enjoy an endless summer! Thank you.
So awesome.
I’m done. So awesome.
I’m done.
Ok, you’re done. Right, as Tachiki-san said, our summer hasn’t ended yet. Please enjoy our “Gintama summer adventure”!
When we say adventure, we mean moutains and sea, of course.
It's beetle hunting time!
Don't lay your hands on any of the beetles here!
I told you to go home!
Yeah, right!
I won't let you keep them all for yourself!
The beetles belong to everyone!
No, they belong to me!
Damn! Oi, make sure they don't get it!
We have to be first!
It's beetle hunting time!
Beetle smash!
Beetle kick!
Beetle...
broken!
Beetle-
Like hell! Beetle-
I'll beetle...
Bee...
ee...
tle...
Oi! Wait!
We're your allies.
We...
...snap!
Instead, try to enjoy this situation, Shinpachi!
This is a deserted island! Such perfect solitude is hard to experience everywhere!
Before i knew it, my loneliness had left me.
I no longer have anything left to fear.
I am... not alone!
I really wasn't alone.
S-so you were here...
H-Hasegawa-san got washed ashore too, huh...
What just happened...
Let's pretend we never saw that...
Yeah...
Kamehameha!
That's not quite right...Maybe i should do more of that...
Ka...
me...
ha...
me...
We didn't see anything...
Inside that huge cloud...Laputa is definitely in there!
The girl is the suns beauty angel!
a little-
Inside that cloud...Takigawa Christel's crystal must definitely be in there!
Oh no! I stopped my SOS halfway!
Hey, did you see my Takigawa Crystal?
I think I dropped it nearby…
What exactly is this Takigawa Crystal?! I don’t get it!
What are you talking about, Gintoki? A summer without Takigawa Crystal can’t be called summer at all.
Yeah exactly, Gin-san. It’s the summer fruit. Don’t you get it?
You’re on summer vacation all year round. Just lazing around, aka Madao.
I’m going to cry. Can I cry?
Outta my way!
We need to find other summer things to replace the crystal!
T-that's...
Father!
Maybe i can still...
make it in time!
You big idiot!
What are you doing?
You nearly lost your life!
What good would your death do!?
Do you think Matsuko-dono wishes it so?
If she stays with me, Matsuko-dono will never be happy...
I will definitely die before Matsuko does.
And when i do, what will happen to Matsuko when she's old and alone?
Father!
I thought I'd be homeless for just a day.
But...
Now I'm... like this.
But i think you're looking better than ever.
Dog...
Radio...
Cardboard box...
You're completely covered by the Three Sacred Treasures of the homeless.
You've finally found your lifetime job.
I don't have a lifetime job. I don't have a job.
No!
I need to a place to stay so i can restore my hit points!
I can't restore my hit points in a cardboard box!
What should i do?
If Hatsu sees me like this, we'll never reconcile our differences. And she'll leave me.
I'd say you have no one to blame but yourself.
I have to do something by this weekend!
I need to find a stylish place, even if it's just for one weekend!
Can you help me, Gin-san?
I'm sure your name is already in the blacklist, maybe even in the Death Note.
Oh, yeah. I'll put your name in my Death Note, then.
See ya.
Hey, wait! Wait!
Oh, you're here.
Over here! Over here! Zura-chi!
I'm not Zura-chi.
I'm I'll Smith.
Yes we can.
That has absolutely nothing to do with summer!
You just picked a bunch of random things. What the hell are you doing?! That wasn’t summer at all. Your brains are just fried!
Actually, that last one was winter.
And what’s up with this Sumo Hall background-only?
They’re good.
Yeah, these guys are really passionate.
Um, what is this heavy feeling.
Hmph. You finally understand the pain of being unemployed.
We’re different from the wimps who only know about drinking strawberry milk and Red Bull.
Oh, well-said, Zura-cchi.
It’s not Zura-cchi, it’s Will Smith.
Oi oi, minor characters, don’t get ahead of yourselves.
We should show you how the main characters work together as a team.
Shinpachi, Kagura, are you ready?
Yessir!
Wait, what happened to the topic of summer?
Princess Crab-Paste!
Are you all right?
Don't worry! Everything will be ok!
The Shimura army will keep you safe!
The Sakata army approaches.
It is too dangerous here!
We must escape at once!
Th-that's...
That's impossible...
Pr-princess Crab-Paste...
Princess Crab-Paste?
Who are you talking about?
I-Impossible!
It isn't just Princess Crab-Paste!
The body inside...
...completely empty!
Oh, sorry, Shinpachi.
I took the meat from the body and cooked it with rice.
Oh, i saved the crab paste.
C-Cooked it with rice!?
How unfortunate, General Shinpachi.
This castle belongs to the Sakata army now.
And Princess Crab-Paste has fallen into our hands.
This castle no longer holds any strategic value!
It can't be...
General Sakata...
You anticipated that i would anticipate your plan?
Yeah. Sorry, Pachi-boy.
We even took the claws.
You ended up without a single bite of crab.
I misjudged him!
But it's not our fault.
You're the one who let us have them.
You have sunk your fangs into the crab shell,
Gintoki the Viper!
Well, I'll help myself then.
The meat!
The meat of the crab claw is gone!
The meat is right here.
Ta-da!
Da-daigoro!
You're so weird, Gin-chan.
Why do you like claws so much?
There's more meat in the leg below the claw.
Silly Gin-chan.
I spent too much time talking about claws!
I ignored you since i just assumed you were a child,
but you took advantage of my battle with General Shimura
to use my own words against me.
Daigoro, you are no ordinary Daigoro.
You were sent by Iga?!
You aren't the only one
who intends to take advantage
of the chaos and conquer this world.
A true tactician would lay low until
he's already conquered the world in secret!
Viper!
I grant you an eternal slumber inside that empty shell!
That was the worst team work ever! And it had nothing to do with summer!
Yeah, it wasn’t a heated battle at all.
There’s nothing heated about it. It was a bunch of leftover food.
Kagura, I think we fought a pretty heated battle.
It’s not funny. As I was saying, what happened to “summer”?
That’s enough. It’s our turn.
Is it time for the pain-in-the-*** characters?
I’m laughing till I’m crying.
It’s on the same level of embarrassment as Hijikata-san.
What did you say?!
But if you’re talking about awesome, it’s gotta be that.
Learn from your future brother-in-law.
Commander!
That hurt...
You're as strict on me as always, Kondo-san.
That's because you're a kid.
If Toshi had said the same thing, i would've hit him, too.
That's how close we are, right?
If someone went the wrong way, the other two would beat him up until he got back on track.
That's how it's always been.
That's why we'll always stay on the right path.
We can live an honest life.
I don't care about that gap you created on your own.
I'll jump across it as many times as it takes, and punch some sense into you.
You don't get to meet many people like this in life.
We're lucky.
We got to make two really terrible friends.
Sougo,
If a time comes when i go down the wrong path,
It'll be your turn to punch some sense into me.
I knew...
he rejected her because he was thinking about her future.
I knew...
...he wished for my sister's happiness, too.
I understood all of that.
but it just pissed me off.
I can't stand him.
But it's fine if he stays that way.
I am the Shinsengumi Vice-Commander,
Hijikata Toshiro!
Kondo-***, i will give you my life.
You are charged with a responsibility in exchange for it.
That is to not die.
You have to live no matter what.
No matter what disgraces you have to face, and no matter how many members die in front of you,
you have to carry on living!
That's because as long as you are around the Shinsengumi won't end.
We entered the Shinsengumi because we admired you.
You're an idiot so stop thinking about difficult things.
All you have to do is continue living in your own way.
We will just protect that from everyone else.
Kondo-san...
you're the soul of the Shinsengumi.
We are the swords who protect that.
When i think of your sister,
it gets me up.
is it okay if i take a dump here?
Day 23 of living on anpan.
I sparking the anpan into the supermarket clerk.
Day 24 of living on anpan.
I sparking the anpan into the convenience store clerk.
We've run out of mayonnaise!
I sparking the anpan into the vice commander!
You ended up with more dirty jokes and leftover food!
Because gorillas and their pals can’t keep up with human evolution.
Make sure you don’t waste food!
Yamazaki!
Gin-san, what should we do?
We wanted to do something fresh and related to summer, but everyone screwed it up. How are we gonna fix this?
You sure ask for a lot. Well, how about this?
Huh? What is this?
Why is there a mosaic?
What's that smell?
I'm spent.
I had to run through all the streets in order to find one that was the same size.
Golden retriever's po-
That had nothing to do with summer!!
And i told you to do something fresh!
The staff are all fresh.
That’s just adding oil to fire!
Hey, Shinpachi.
What!!!!!
It’s hard for me to say, but…
Spill it!!!!!!!
Your straight-man comments are stifling.
And whose fault is it?!!!!!!!!!!
Something big is gonna happen.
Daisuke-san, this?!
That’s right! I’m about to enter the warrior mode.
You’re going all out for this next event.
Everyone, Otsuu-chan is finally arriving at the Sumo Hall.
Sakaguchi-***. Sakaguchi-***. Sakaguchi-***.
What’s this?
What's wrong with this person?
I…
I can't take it any longer.
Tosshi? Is it Tosshi?
I’m going to pick Otsuu-chan up!
So fast, so fast! I’m going to pick Otsuu-chan up!
So fast, so fast!
Awesome, he couldn’t take it anymore so he ran off.
Alright, we’ll leave the task of picking up Otsuu-chan to Tosshi. Let’s take a look at the progress of Otsuu-chan’s 2.4-hour marathon.
Otsuu-chan, where are you?
Hi~
When everyone was dubbing their lines, I’ve already arrived -death mask.
Look!
We’re here.
Where is this?
You ended up at the Budokan as expected! Where is this?
You ended up at the Budokan as expected!
Yeah, this is the Budokan.
Isn’t Budokan the finishing point for the 24-hour marathon?
For the 24-hour marathon, yes… Isn’t Budokan the finishing point for the 24-hour marathon?
For the 24-hour marathon, yes…
That’s the finishing point for Tokumitsu-san For the 24-hour marathon, yes…
That’s the finishing point for Tokumitsu-san
Yeah. Y’know what? You’re on the NTV channel. We’re TV Tokyo. Not channel 4. Channel 7. So come back and make everyone happy.
Not Budokan. It’s Kokugikan.
So that’s why no one’s around. Not Budokan. It’s Kokugikan.
So that’s why no one’s around.
What are you doing?
What's that gesture?
Are you coming?
It’s too late for them to make it. What are we going to do? Are you coming?
It’s too late for them to make it. What are we going to do?
Sorry! We made a mistake!
That’s what we’ve been saying. Sorry! We made a mistake!
That’s what we’ve been saying.
We’re going~ One, two, jump!
Ok, we’re here.
So fast.
It’s this place, right? This is the Sumo Hall.

It's that picture, right
It’s here, right?
I’m coming over now~
Come here, we’re waiting~ I’m coming over now~
Come here, we’re waiting~
Be careful~
She wasn’t tired at all.
She still has a lot of energy. Not to mention, Tachiki-san who was supposed to broadcast the whole thing is already here.
Yeah I’m here. I’ve been here since the rehearsal.
You flew here, didn’t you?
I can work anywhere. At my age, the most important thing is to face a challenge. You flew here, didn’t you?
I can work anywhere. At my age, the most important thing is to face a challenge.
You’re just trying to fool us. That won’t work. I can work anywhere. At my age, the most important thing is to face a challenge.
You’re just trying to fool us. That won’t work.
Isn’t it good, though? Congrats, you!
What’s going on, Tachiki-san?
Are you drunk?
Drunk, yeah. Are you drunk?
Drunk, yeah.
Drunk in happiness
Drunk in happiness, right?
I’m kidding~
Seriously? I’m kidding~
Seriously?
No comment.
Let me comment.
I’ll do my best.
A bit dangerous, though. I’ll do my best.
A bit dangerous, though.
Everyone.
I see you!
You changed your clothes!
Otsuu-chan is going to come this way.
Really?
You alright? Lead the way for Otsuu-chan.
What did you say?
I said lead the way properly for Otsuu-chan!
The audience nearby, please lead the way for Otsuu-chan!
No problem. The audience nearby, please lead the way for Otsuu-chan!
The audience nearby, please lead the way for Otsuu-chan!
Is Otsuu-chan here yet?
She’s here! I’m going to lead the way!
She’s suddenly very tired.
I’m exhausted. Thank you for waiting!
One step at a time.
Cheer for Otsuu-chan!
We’re almost there!
The whole world’s going into slow motion!
We're finally here! The whole world’s going into slow motion!
The whole world’s going into slow motion!
The 2.4-hour marathon,
it’s a big stage where a runner has bet her whole life on.
Will she persevere, or will she give up in the middle?
We are all watching this moment.
The path that Otsuu-chan and Tokumitsu-san took is our history and the best memories.
The 2.4-hour marathon!
Otsuu-chan, over here! Come towards me!
Congratulations on finishing the 2.4-hour marathon!
I’m here!
Congrats!
Thank you! Congrats!
Congrats!
So Otsuu-chan, it’s up to you now!
What?
You want to know who the strongest man in the Kabuki District is?
First, there are four monsters on a level of their own.
The fierce and divine mademoiselle Saigou.
Jirocho Doromizu the Gallant.
Peacock Princess Kada.
Empress Otose.
The Kabuki Four Devas
are in control of the Kabuki District.
Both of you are chained to this town by the same thing.
A promise made to a certain man.
An iron vow of your own choosing.
The chains of a warrior.
One has experienced loss, but accepted the responsibility and continues to protect this town.
The other has experienced loss,
but has abandoned the responsibility and chosen to protect this town by using force to conquer it.
Two beasts whose interest clash, despite sharing the same goal.
Now, who will be the last man standing over the kabuki district?
He died the way he lived.
Like a man,
who sacrificed his life for someone like me
While leaving loved ones behind.
I killed him.
So i had to give up on being a man, on being human,
in order to protect what he left behind.
Even if the town hated me for it...
I will keep my promise and survive.
In return...
...you will keep your promise...
...and die.
I have come to join Odd Jobs. My name is Pirako Chin
Huh? A killer?
This little girl works for the underworld?!
I'm here to turn the town Jirocho is...
To turn the Kabuki District into a garden of bright red!
You aren't Pirako Chin.
From now on, you're Pirako Man.
What kind of name is that!?
Times have changed.
A vigilante can't protect anything.
He died and left you behind.
You're just a nuisance,
both you and Tatsugoro.
This town doesn't need you anymore.
This town belongs to me.
I'll give you one more chance.
Get out of this town.
I have a favor to ask.
They call me one of the Four Devas,
but i don't have any members in my faction.
My life is all i need.
They serve no use at all.
They just happen to be my family.
You're Gintoki?
You were a step too late.
I buried her with her husband.
The hell was that?
Not bad, kid.
You made me draw my sword.
But are you willing to let Otose's efforts to save your lives...
..go to waste?
You're not being very reasonable.
It's over.
I heard that Otose was keeping a crazy monster around.
So you're the White Yaksha?
A generation managed to survive the brutal battle of the Joi war.
There were plenty more like you out there.
Get lost watchdog,
there's nothing for you to protect here.
Hey, Gran.
Are those manju?
Can i have some?
I'm starving to death here.
These belong to my husband.
Ask him.
What did my husband say?
Beats me.
The dead don't talk.
You're just asking for it.
Don't blame me if you get cursed.
The dead don't talk and they don't eat dango.
So a made a one-sided promise.
I won't forget this debt.
Your wife doesn't have that much longer to live,
but I'm going to protect her in your stead.
Gran...
Neither of you get it...
If you shoulder the burden alone and leave us behind...
How are we supposed to be happy that Gran saved us if she's gone?
If you're gone, life won't be any fun!
Life doesn't need to be fun.
I just want you to live.
I don't want to go through that again.
I don't want anyone to die.
Aren't you supposed to be Gintoki Sakata?
The man who has let so much slip away, who's failed to protect so much...
...but swore that he would never run away from his responsibilities!
Didn't you promise her husband?!
This isn't enough to kill Otose-san off!
Isn't enough to kill us off!
Isn't enough to kill you off!
Because you're going to protect us!
Because we're going to protect you!
Isn't that what Odd Jobs is about?
Isn't that how the three of us protected so much over the years?
Sorry, pops.
I'll make another promise.
We promise to protect everything which was dear to you.
I've already made up my mind.
I'll be joining you on your rampage.
So once this is finished,
you'll come back to me, won't you?
You...
Both of you are chained to this town by the same thing.
A promise made to a certain man.
An iron vow of your own choosing.
The chains of a warrior.
In the end,
I just made everyone around me unhappy,
while failing to keep my promise.
Sorry I couldn't make you happy.
You have other promises to keep.
I'm very happy right now, Jirocho.
I met Tatsugoro here in the Kabuki District.
And i met them.
And i met our beloved Jirocho again.
Thanks for everything, Jirocho.
***...
Why didn't you cut me down?
Like i said...
I'm going to keep my promise this time.
Quit smoking, old timer.
Is that you, bro?
'Tis an honor.
I was born and raised in the Kabuki District of Edo,
Where i lived as a ruffian in a town of ruffians,
always surrounded by steel.
I am ashamed to admit that i have walked astray
and was guided by my brothers
to embark on a journey of redemption
to regain that which i have lost.
I have been called boss, warrior and many other names,
but i have given them up.
I am the father of Pirako Chin,
Jirocho.
It's rude, but may i ask who you are?
I-I am the newest member of the Odd Jobs family
in the Kabuki District of Edo...
On a journey to find my missing father...
I was guided here by the kindness of my brothers.
I am the daughter of Jirocho...
Pirako Chin!
We must have been brought together by fate.
Would you mind
if i accompanied you on your journey?
I'm home.
Did everyone enjoy the 4 Devas’ Arc?
That's great! Thank you!
So let’s reintroduce our surprise guests from 4 Devas Arc.
First, it's Sugou Takayuki-san who plays Jirocho!
Thank you.
I guess it’s still best to greet everyone as Jirocho.
Everyone, brothers, sisters,
it’s fate that brings us here today.
If you don’t mind,
please take care of me and my daughter Pirako.
So cool! Thank you.
Next, we have Nonaka Ai who plays Pirako!
Good evening, everyone!
I’m Pirako, aka Nonaka Ai.
Today, I’ve come to decorate the Ryougoku Sumo Hall with bright flowers!
Stop it! Danger! Today, I’ve come to decorate the Ryougoku Sumo Hall with bright flowers!

Hi! A lot of things happened before this event, but we’re still standing here in front of everyone, and everyone still made it here, so what does it mean? It’s hiding in your heart, right? It’s coming. You jerks, and you claim to have Gintama?!!!
Be careful on your way home, kay?
Ok, thank you very much. So then, Gintama Sakura Matsuri
Hang on a sec! Ok, thank you very much. So then, Gintama Sakura Matsuri
Hang on a sec!
I have a letter from Sorachi-sensei.
To everyone who participated in the Gintama Summer Matsuri “2.4 Hour Television, Love Saves Gintama,” thank you very much for taking the time out of your schedule and coming to the Sumo Hall to save Gintama.
And Kugimiya-san, who was the lone host on this long 2.4-hour journey to save Gintama;
Takahashi-san, who ran for 2.4 hours under the hot sun;
Kazuya-san, who maintained 2.4 hours of Let’s Party – thank you very much.
All the singers who came forth to the rescue,
Sugou-san and Kujira-san who sang the theme song “Home,”
Nonaka-san and her live manbirabirabirako, everyone brought tears to others.
Singing is great, it’s the literary quintessence created by Lilim, right, Ishida-san?
Never mind Gintama. Can we hurry up with “Q”?
I agree! Never mind Gintama. Can we hurry up with “Q”?
I agree!
Commander Madao. I agree!
Commander Madao.
Also, the ossans who’re loud and nothing more than clever, and the ones who aren’t clever, thank you very much.
So, he looks gentle, but in these 5 years, never mind 2.4 hours, Sugita-san and I have never even talked for 2.4 minutes.
It’s a bit longer than that.
We only discussed Marcy’s, but somehow, the two shy people get along because of everyone’s love, believing that Gintama will bring real peace, believing that one day, they’ll discuss more than Marcy’s but also Kuwa-man*.
And then, congratulations to Kenichi and Maaya.
Well then, to everyone in the audience, to everyone in the world, please walk on with the love for Gintama.
Gintama Sakura Matsuri 2011 is now over!
Buddy, quit smoking.
Please take care of me and my dad. Thank you. Please continue your support, and I hope to appear again.
Aim at the second row from the front, the third person from the left, and SPARKING. Thank you.
It was fun, it was fun, it was fun, wasn’t it? People in the Ibaraki Prefecture, are you watching?
And my beloved audience from Kobe, are you watching? We’ll be back! Thank you everyone!
Thank you very much for your wishes. You even used the salvo for me, thank you very much. To the staff and the audience, thank you very much. Please continue your support, thank you!
Hello! Thank you very much! Did you have fun? Was it exciting? My spit’s flying everywhere, sorry about that! See you in the future! Thank you!
Thank you corn poop! I love you! Bye bye!
Thank you very much. I’m very grateful to meet you all. See you!
All the audience in the country, look over here, I’m Madao! I wanted to appear on today’s 24 Hour Television, but Gintama is still the best. Gintama Sakura Matsuri, Sunflower Matsuri, whatever name it doesn’t matter. Everyone be a madao! Bye bye! Tonight was the best! Thank you!
Ohh, everyone’s great. I could feel the energy from everyone, thank you very much.
Did everyone have fun? I had a lot of fun! I love everyone! See you! Bye bye!
I’m Shimura Shinpachi, aka Sakaguchi Daisuke. Did everyone have fun? There’s a lot of frustration in life, but if you tsukkomi a bit, you’ll find out that today’s not so bad after all. Thank you!
Uh, don’t become adults like us. But if you do become like us, let’s enjoy it together. See ya. My hair’s all messed up. Who says I’m wearing a wig*!
