GINTAMA FILM PRODUCTION COMMITTEE PRESENTS

GINTAMA ANIME 20TH ANNIVERSARY PROJECT

"Land of the Samurai."

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

As the Amanto seized power and the sword ban took hold,

the samurai class fell into decline.

And then, out of nowhere, they suddenly appeared...

That's right.

Those vile demons attacked the people.

Hold on.

And that's when we, the Demon Slayer Corps, rose up.

Um, sorry to interrupt you. Wait a minute.

Gin, you are not following the script at all.

What was that about the demons?

Oh my, what an annoying kid!

Who are you?

- Who the hell are you supposed to be? - May you rest in peace.

You poor four-eyes, cursed by demons and those glasses.

It's not a curse. It's just bad eyesight.

What's with that costume anyway?

Come on, relax, Shinpachi.

Everywhere you look, it's all about Demon Slayer right now.

Everyone figured out how to get stronger.

If viewers think this is Demon Slayer and it goes viral, that's a win for us.

How desperate do you have to be to make a movie like this?

Hey, Kagura, say something.

DEMON SLAYER

What in the world are you doing?

Don't get so worked up, Four-Eyes.

Nobody's making fun of you just because you're not in Demon Slayer.

What? I'm not envious.

It's not like I'm thinking, "Hey, maybe I could at least be a crow."

It's not like being in Demon Slayer is everything.

Being in Demon Slayer is everything, you useless four-eyes.

That's why amateurs shouldn't use social media.

Well, anyway.

The new movie, Demon Slayer, Mugen Flames Arc will now begin!

IN SWEETS WE TRUST

THE TRUE TITLE IS

GINTAMA THE MOVIE 2026: YOSHIWARA IN FLAMES

THE SCREEN IS SOOO MUCH WIDER

DIDN'T WE CALL THE LAST MOVIE "THE VERY FINAL"?

...I DON'T RECALL

PLEASURE

So this is the pleasure district.

Hello, sir.

Let's have a little fun.

Hey, hey, quit fooling around.

We need to get our ducks in a row before we sit down with the old man. Oh?

AMATOYA

Well, at her level,

I don't mind having a little fun on the way out.

Not her.

She's way out of your league.

Lady Hinowa.

She's an Oiran, the highest-ranking courtesan in this town.

If she doesn't like you, it doesn't matter how much you pay.

Even if you're a lord, she won't even look at you.

Besides, I've already staked my claim on her.

Hey, Mister. I brought some today too.

Yeah, yeah.

You never take a day off, do you?

Make sure you record the amount.

Yeah, yeah, I know.

Damn, that's one hell of a little brat.

He's trying to buy Lord Hosen's absolute favorite.

Good grief. You finally decided to show up.

Captain.

She might be useful.

That woman.

I feel sick.

My head's pounding from a hangover.

I messed up.

I should've taken supplements before I started drinking.

Oops! My bad.

Damn it. How pathetic.

No point going after samurai. They're broke.

Even I have more money...

What the? Where's my wallet?

What? Did I drop it somewhere?

One, two, three. Woohoo! I got rich off a single trade.

I guess I'll have a parfait and play some slot machines.

That's my money.

You little thief!

You picked the wrong person.

Remember this. Here's the thing about stealing.

Every time you slip your hand into someone else's pocket,

you don't even notice that something important is slipping out of your own.

We're good now, right?

I'm treating you to a parfait, so let it slide.

- Bring me one more. - Right away, sir.

How much are you going to eat?

Listen, kid.

If you're going to ask for a favor, you've got to do it properly.

Give me back the money you took from my wallet.

What money? Your wallet was empty to begin with.

Don't play dumb, kid.

There had to be $700 or $800 in there.

I was planning on paying my rent.

You're gonna mooch off a kid after making him buy you a parfait?

Anyone who knows he's still a kid is already a full-fledged adult.

If you're an adult, you need to take responsibility.

- Wait! Wait, Bro. Please. - Who are you calling Bro?

I don't remember having a filthy brother like you.

Please wait. I desperately need money.

Why does a kid need money so badly?

Is it for Beyblade or Yu-Gi-Oh?

I want to buy a woman.

ODD JOBS GIN HOSTESS BAR OTOSE

This shrimp thinks he can win over the top Oiran in the pleasure district?

Don't go getting all horny, kid.

Go home and drink your mommy's milk.

This is not funny.

This is an anime and a movie.

Do you really think something like that would be allowed?

Don't sweat the small stuff, Shinpachi.

Are you fretting because a kid beat you to it?

I'm not Freddy!

What do you mean "Freddy?"

You're totally fretting.

N-no way.

I could do it anytime if I wanted to.

I just choose not to, that's all.

It's not like that.

A kid like him, trying to buy a woman in a pleasure district?

I'm not a kid. I'm Seita, you virgin.

What did you just call me?

Do you even understand what that means, you little brat?

Calm down, Virgin.

Don't underestimate virgins.

When a man stays a virgin till 30,

he'll be called the Man with God Hands and can be reincarnated as a sex guru.

I will add that to my database.

When a man stays a virgin till 30...

Who needs that kind of info?

Calm down, Shinpachi.

For a kid to be interested in women is really something.

They say, "None but the brave deserve the fair."

And he's even a pickpocket?

That's one scary kid.

As an orphan, this was the only way I could get my hands on money.

You'd need a fortune to buy an Oiran.

You can barely make ends meet, so why are you doing something like this?

Be honest.

I was abandoned by my parents.

I don't remember my parents' faces.

You have nothing to be ashamed of, Seita.

You weren't abandoned.

You were saved.

You are here because your mother saved you

and pulled you out of the darkness.

Be proud of that.

Your mother is still lost in the eternal darkness.

She shines alone so brightly,

radiant as the sun itself.

He kept telling me that.

And then Grandpa, who raised me, passed away.

So that woman might be my mom.

I want to see her. I just want to see and talk to her.

So that's why you resorted to stealing?

That defeats the whole purpose.

Even if you steal someone's money and meet her,

do you think your mother will be happy?

But who would hire a kid like me?

You can work here at my bar.

I won't be able to pay you enough money to buy an Oiran,

but it should count for something.

So promise me you'll never pick pockets again.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Then make sure you earn back the $1,000 you took from my wallet.

I told you your wallet was empty.

And why does the amount keep increasing?

It's interest.

HOSTESS BAR OTOSE

Stop lazing around.

Get to work.

Go buy me a hot dog.

I'm not your gopher.

Yoshiwara Shangri-La, the underground pleasure district.

LOVE PROMISE

Supported by the operatives of the Black Ops,

it's an extralegal zone the shogunate turns a blind eye to.

The city of eternal night.

It's as if it fears the sunlight.

Hey there, sir.

Do you want to play with us?

Ah, sure, yeah.

I'll come back later...

Why come back later when you can stay now?

Let go.

I'm not a big fan of go-getters.

You say that, but you're not exactly busy, are you?

I don't have time.

I'm setting off to find One Piece.

SULTRY CAFE

What's that guy doing here?

I'm tracking down the source of a dangerous drug

spreading through Edo City lately.

But I never expected it would lead me here.

SULTRY CAFE

Hello, sir.

Come here and play with us.

Sorry, but I'm in a hurry.

- Ask someone else... - No, no. That's not how you do it.

A tired line like that won't make a man turn his head.

The trick is to tell the man exactly what he wants to hear the most.

Just watch and learn.

Hey, you, Mister Pent-Up Pervert!

Why don't you and I slather each other in plenty of mayo...

What the hell are you doing?

With all due respect,

that kind of rough play comes with an extra fee...

Who the hell needs that option?

Why are you dressed like this?

Calm down, Hijikata.

If you want to hide a tree, hide it in a forest.

This getup's perfect for blending in around Yoshiwara.

You really stand out instead.

So? What about the source of that drug?

Did you find anything?

Yeah. Looks like that is the main source.

Just as I thought.

Hosen, the master of the Pleasure House, runs all of Yoshiwara.

- A big shot with ties to the shogunate. - Hey, look at my nails.

Based on what Yamazaki discovered,

Enkaku, Hosen's right-hand man, runs the drug trade.

Oh my gosh! They're gorgeous!

Hey, are you even listening?

Oh no! It has already started.

Come on, hurry up.

You guys.

Do you want to dive into the new world?

Yeah!

Do you want to go beyond pleasure?

Yeah!

Wanna go to the ends of the world?

It's awfully noisy.

I've heard of that before.

Look, Hijikata, this is it.

"Her skin is so clear, it's almost transparent."

I see.

"Her eyes are the cutest of all."

Is that so?

"With its smooth, plush internal structure,

it delivers an all-new ultimate climax experience."

Hey, something outrageous just popped out!

What do you mean by inner structure?

The top courtesan, Zabeth.

Here she is!

What the hell is that?

Beats me.

She's probably going to use that pole and do outrageous...

What the?

What are you doing?

Let me tell you.

We've got a report that the mighty Toshiro Hijikata of the Shinsengumi

has been misusing squad funds to purchase a "she-gorilla" in Yoshiwara.

Don't make things up!

Who would ever fall for this gorilla?

This gentleman forced me into some extreme roleplay.

You stay quiet!

Don't worry.

It's going to be in tomorrow's special edition of the Edo City Newspaper.

That doesn't make me feel any better at all.

Why are you taking pictures like crazy?

Hey, you bastards.

You are not allowed to take photos here.

You need to come along with us.

Damn it. It'll be a hassle if this turns into a scene.

- Let's go. - What? Hey, hold on a minute.

Wait right there!

Don't leave me behind.

Hey, there's even a gorilla dressed as a woman.

What's all the racket?

They're the Shinsengumi!

Are they here for Hosen too?

GREAT FOR GIFT

In any case, I can't trust shogunate dogs.

FOR CEREMONIES

We, the anti-foreigner faction, will bring down the hammer of justice

to those who would poison this country with suspicious drugs.

There's no time to waste. Elizabeth!

I'll leave this to you.

TAKE THIS

These are Milhouse nerd glasses.

Put these on.

Great job, Elizabeth.

With this, the shogunate dogs will never find me...

Help me, please.

Screwdriver!

ARE THEY DEAD?

Are you okay?

I am the one who should apologize.

Oh no!

Why'd you put in such strong lenses, Elizabeth?

Um, excuse me. Did you get hurt?

Oh, no. I'm fine.

Could this person be?

THE WIDOW - SPECIAL IN FULL-COLOR

Oh wow!

You're the woman I met in the summer of eighth grade.

ADULT MAGS

RESTROOM

The woman I've longed for.

Excuse me. I'm sorry to bother you, sir.

Have we met somewhere before?

When I was in eighth grade...

Eighth grade?

Um, it's nothing. Must be a look-alike.

I guess...

Hey, there they are.

I found you, damn she-gorilla.

Are you being chased, Sheila Gorilla?

Wait, that's not my name.

What a beautiful name you have!

Can I call you Ms. Gorilla?

Hey, you're just calling me a gorilla.

Come, let's run together.

What? Um, okay.

What is this feeling?

I know I've felt this way before.

This dangerous feeling.

As if my sworn enemy is right in front of me.

Why is my chest beating so hard?

What is this?

The she-gorilla stole the toy and ran away.

Catch her! Don't let her get away!

BE HAPPY

What happened to that kid?

Doesn't look like he is coming today.

You mean Seita?

Yeah, that kid.

He came to you every day, saying he wanted to buy Hinowa.

So? How much has he saved up?

Huh? Saved up what?

All that money the kid's been handing you.

By now, he should be able to meet Hinowa at least over tea, right?

Don't tell me, did you...?

Well, the thing is, it was just enough to buy myself a drink every day.

Hey now, that is so cruel.

It doesn't bother me.

He probably got that money through shady means anyway.

He won't be able to complain.

You may be right about that.

Then buy me a drink next time.

Oops! I shouldn't have told you.

I figured as much.

Miss, how much do I owe you?

You don't need to pay.

You've already made it worth my while.

Do you know Seita?

He was quite famous here.

How can someone with no money meet Hinowa?

You're not thinking of having Seita meet Hinowa, are you?

It's a pain to have some noisy brat hanging around forever.

Hinowa is an Oiran, the highest-ranking courtesan in this Yoshiwara Shangri-La.

You had better give up.

I can't do that.

This place is like its own nation,

governed by laws different from those on the surface.

If you don't follow the rules here,

you'll never make it back up again.

Too bad.

Up above or underground, I live by my own rules.

Intruder! Get him!

This just turned into a real pain in the ass.

PLEASURE

Lord Hosen, it seems a strange samurai has snuck in.

I heard he is looking for Hinowa.

Looks like that samurai's been hired by that kid from eight years back.

Is that so?

I thought he'd died somewhere like a stray dog.

But who would've thought he'd come down to hell on his own?

Wait a minute.

It's hard to walk in these.

You're too slow, Courtesan Shinpachi. Walk faster.

It's impossible.

This is nowhere near enough.

It's ridiculous that you need money just to see your own mom.

Kids should be able to see their mom whenever they want.

It'll be okay.

I'm sure you'll be able to see her.

No, we'll make it happen.

You're right.

This isn't enough to buy an Oiran.

The Odd Jobs will be taking this as payment for the job.

You guys.

But it's impossible. I can't see her without money.

The rules of the surface mean nothing down here.

That woman with the scar...

The vigilantes who punish those who break the rules of Yoshiwara,

the Hundred Flowers.

Leading them is the woman feared as the Lunar Reaper.

The name is Tsukuyo.

Remember that.

Why are the vigilantes attacking us?

How should I know?

Get Seita away from here.

My target is you!

Yo!

G-Gin.

Sorry for the wait.

Um, sorry to say this, but it's stuck on your forehead.

Huh? What is?

Hey, I'm sure it was stuck on your forehead.

- Are you okay? - Huh? What are you talking about?

Nothing stabbed me, see?

Um, but you're bleeding all over. Don't push yourself too hard.

I told you nothing stabbed me.

You know, the kunai grazed me so there's a little blood.

- But it definitely didn't stab me. - No, but...

I told you nothing stabbed me.

You really want me to get stabbed, don't you?

Fine, then. Then let's just say I got stabbed.

Even though I didn't.

No, it definitely got you.

Cut it out already!

The person who got stabbed is saying he wasn't stabbed,

so let's just say I dodged it.

You just admitted it now.

Listen, man. You really need to read the room, man.

Just drop it and say I didn't get stabbed.

You're making me look so pathetic.

I had that "I knocked them all down" victory face.

This is bad. I'm too embarrassed to turn around.

Are they laughing at me? Are they all laughing?

Am I okay?

To think you knocked down every one of my attacks.

Who are you?

She is being thoughtful.

She is pretending I knocked them all down.

What a nice girl!

Attacks?

Sorry about that.

I thought your kunai was just strolling around.

How about it?

Forget that dangerous thing and try sticking something better...

This is bad. I got stabbed in my hand too.

She saw it. She definitely saw it.

You didn't knock down any of them.

You were stabbed all over.

Oh no. What should I do?

They must be laughing.

They must all be laughing.

This is no good.

I'm leaving. I'll go to the hospital.

Calm down.

It's only embarrassing because you acted like you dodged the attacks.

Say that you put your life on the line to shield Seita.

Putting your life on the line to shield a kid.

That's impressive.

Who are you?

She heard us. She heard our plan.

She's a nice girl. She's so thoughtful.

What an attack!

All I could do was act as a shield.

Hey, are you okay, Seita?

S-Seita?

No way. Huh? No way.

Seita!

- Gin, he's... He's... - Seita!

He totally got stabbed.

You jumped in to save him, and he still got brutally stabbed.

Why did you even come here?

You bastards.

I hope you are all prepared to die.

He played it off. He dumped all the blame on others.

Um, excuse me.

Actually, I saw what happened.

When that guy jumped in to save the boy,

one of the kunai he knocked away flew toward the boy.

And stabbed him.

And stabbed him.

And stabbed him.

- Um, I saw it too. - Me too.

If he hadn't knocked it away, it wouldn't have hit him.

So that means that guy killed the boy.

What? Gin? Hey, Gin?

You bastards. I hope you are all prepared to die.

He's pretending it never happened. He ignored the whole scene.

How dare you stab Seita...

What?

G-Gin!

Tell Lord Hosen that we have gotten rid of the intruders.

I will clean up this mess.

Hey. Get up.

Next time I'll use a real kunai.

What the? I'm alive.

Go through this pipeline.

You'll be able to get out in four to five hours.

Why is the leader of the Hundred Flowers helping us?

I'm the guardian of Yoshiwara.

I eliminate anyone who stirs up trouble in Yoshiwara.

That's all.

Get lost already.

I want to meet Courtesan Hinowa.

I mean, I only came to see my mom.

Then you should really leave.

The person who asked me to help you escape was none other than her.

It was Hinowa herself.

My mom?

Does my mom know about me?

Does she know that I'm here?

Lord Hosen, the ruler of Yoshiwara,

would never allow you and Hinowa to meet.

If you stay here, you'll get killed.

Why?

Why would a kid not be allowed to meet his mommy?

He's afraid Hinowa might try to escape again.

Just like eight years ago, when she fled with you as a baby.

She fled with me?

It was twenty years ago.

Because of the war between samurai and the Amanto,

Yoshiwara once vanished from the surface.

However, the Amanto, who saw profit in it, revived it here, deep underground.

That's the Yoshiwara Shangri-La.

Women are sold off from everywhere.

Once they're brought in here, they never see the sun again.

If they try to run, they're killed.

And once they lose their value, they're left to die in the gutter.

That's the kind of world you were born into.

If they're found, not only the child but also the women will be killed.

Despite that, the women continued to take care of you.

For your sake, and for their own sake.

But that kind of happiness was never meant to last.

The kid's missing.

Maybe she already handed him over to someone.

Kill me.

From the moment I held him in my arms, I was prepared to die.

Too bad for you.

Your suffering's not over yet.

I'm gonna have you suffer in that hell until you die.

You've got to be kidding.

I'm sick of being your puppet.

Don't you understand?

It is all up to you now.

I can check under the bridge and kill the baby and the old man.

That can be done so easily.

Make your choice.

The sun can only shine when the sky is clear.

Your name, Seita, means sunny. And Hinowa means the sun.

You were someone special to Hinowa.

All right, hurry up and leave.

If you die, all of Hinowa's sacrifices will go to waste.

That's awfully kind of you.

I'm afraid it's too late.

That umbrella! A Yato?

What's a Yato doing here?

Hand over that kid.

Gin, that guy reeks of major danger.

The smell of blood.

The smell of a real Yato.

Tsukuyo!

Hurry! Run while you can.

But...

Gin!

There are two Yatos.

Damn you. Let go of me.

Seita!

You're in my way.

Move away.

I told you.

I have no business with the weak.

Idi...

Kagura!

I guess we went too far.

The old man might get furious.

It's all right.

He'll cool off if we take this kid with us.

Besides, that runt won't die unless I go this far.

You know one of them?

Nope.

It has nothing to do with me anymore.

Ow, ow, ow.

Is everyone all right?

Yeah, somehow.

Seita.

Who are they?

They're most likely the Harusame.

Harusame?

You mean, the Space Pirate Harusame?

Many of the courtesans of Yoshiwara

are brought here through human trafficking.

The ones who have long been tied to those profits are the Harusame.

No, not just tied.

The ruler of Yoshiwara, the Night King Hosen,

is the man who led the Harusame.

He was called the King of the Yato.

What? The King of the Yato?

Among the fiercely competitive Yato,

Hosen was a powerful warrior who built a major force.

He was said to rival the legendary Umibozu the Exterminator.

Umibozu? That's Kagura's father.

Looks like we have picked a fight with an insanely strong monster.

Kagura.

Gin.

He is not the most dangerous man.

Umibozu has a son.

He's that baldy's son.

And he's my idiot brother.

PLEASURE

Oh my, my.

If it isn't the Seventh Division captain, feared as the mightiest of the Harusame.

What business do you have in a filthy place like this,

Kamui?

Yum!

The food on Earth is so good.

Bossman Hosen.

You're the one who created the Seventh Division.

Then you dumped all the annoying stuff on me

and retired to an easy life.

That's not fair.

As people age, their bodies and hearts dry up.

What soothes the body is alcohol.

What soothes the soul is women.

You might be too young to understand.

No, I understand.

Oh?

Have you learned to enjoy something besides food since we last met?

Is it booze? Or women?

I'll have the best ones in Yoshiwara prepared for you.

Well then.

Let me bang Hinowa just once.

I've even brought a little gift.

I'm sure she'll give me a little extra service.

Can't stand the thought of someone touching Hinowa?

Can't stand to see this kid take Hinowa away from you?

Can't stand being separated from Hinowa?

You should shut your mouth.

Getting old is rough.

To think that the Night King Hosen can't even handle one woman.

I told you to shut up. Didn't you hear me?

There's a certain charm to a man drunk on liquor,

but a man intoxicated by women is just pitiful.

You perverted geezer.

Must be the higher-ups pulling the strings.

They've been making a fortune off this place all this time.

Now that Yoshiwara has gained such immense power,

have they finally begun to fear it?

You really think you can defeat me, Hosen the Night King?

It all depends on your next move.

Even if you are the Night King,

you wouldn't want to take the Harusame head-on, right?

Think carefully before you act. It's for your own good.

That could be a problem.

Then what am I supposed to do about this thirst of mine?

Women and booze don't cut it for me.

I don't need any of that.

Blood.

Blood of eternal battle.

Only the blood of someone fiercer than myself

can truly quench my soul.

It's in your blood.

You've got his eyes.

Long ago, when I stood above all the Yato,

there was only one man who dared to challenge me.

Your father, Umibozu the Exterminator.

Kamui.

Can you surpass your father?

I surpassed him a long time ago.

And besides, you're not so different from him.

You may look tough on the outside, but inside you're all booze and women.

You don't stand a chance against me.

Watch your mouth, you little brat!

Stop, Captain!

I'm sorry.

I should have helped you escape sooner.

You have no reason to apologize.

We weren't planning on running away anyway.

Are you going?

If we don't, Seita will die.

If you go, you'll die too.

There are four Yatos. Even an army of men won't be enough.

I need to do something about him.

All right then.

Let's go and take back the sun.

After being stuck in a place this dark,

everyone seems to have forgotten about the sun.

LAKE TOYA

Give those gloomy-faced bastards a message for me.

We're gonna launch

one hell of a giant sun into that filthy lead-colored sky.

Sorry, but I can't.

Because I'll be coming with you.

If you do that, you'll become a traitor too.

I want to go find it for myself.

My very own sun.

Don't blame me if you end up with nowhere to go back to.

I am so sorry.

It's my fault you ended up here.

What are you saying?

I can't run off and leave behind such a helpless woman.

What a delicate white hand!

It's as white as Gunxxx Unixxxx.

Um, that's not me.

Did you know? There are 200 shades of white.

What on earth are you talking about?

I am quite sure that this gentleman...

Yes, there's no doubt about it.

We've met somewhere before.

The way I felt when we ran off.

That strangely nostalgic uneasy feeling.

Um, excuse me.

Pardon me for asking, but have we met before...

Go on. Get in there and don't make a sound.

Let me out! Let me out, you bastard!

What naughty things have you done?

Phantom gorilla!

- Not Phantom Gorilla. It's Sheila Gorilla. - Phantom Milhouse?

More importantly, what's a kid like you doing in here?

Did you swipe the wallet of some high-ranking official?

I won't pull anything like that again.

All I want is to see my mom.

Captain, stop!

Oh no. It has started again. The Captain's bad habit.

When he's like that, no one can ever stop him.

Take this!

You haven't changed, Kamui.

All you care about is whether someone's strong or weak.

That's all.

You bare your fangs at strong opponents.

Even if that opponent

is me, your own master.

In pursuit of greater strength,

our race has wandered the battlefield.

You've rotted away underground, drowning yourself in booze and women.

Even your blood has dried up.

Defeating you in this state wouldn't be any fun.

Shut up.

Try to remember.

The blood of eternal battle flowing within you.

You don't belong in a place like this.

I told you to shut up.

That's right.

This is the place

for people like us.

Again. It's coming from Lord Hosen's room.

Maybe we should go and check.

This is exactly when we can't let our guard down.

Some intruders might take the opportunity to slip in.

Exactly.

Leader.

Where have you been?

I was cleaning up the collapsed pipeline.

Leave Lord Hosen to me.

You handle the security here.

Roger!

Got it?

Don't let a single suspicious person through.

One mistake and you're done.

Leader, they're intruders.

No, they're not.

They're, um, newbies.

Newbies?

I'm Mopette.

I'm Patty.

I'm Kagurina.

The three of us together...

Are the Queen Peachburst Trio.

Leader, they're intruders.

No, I told you they're newbies.

Are you sure it's okay to let these weirdos go through?

Lord Hosen will be the one to explode.

You mean his crotch?

No freaking way! Go look in the mirror, Plastic Trio.

You don't need to worry. They are quite skilled.

Open the gate.

If the Leader says so.

Go ahead.

We did it.

Looks like we somehow fooled them.

Have a safe trip to your deaths.

If sacrificing one arm and one man

can stop this fight of yours, that's good enough.

Lord Hosen.

We are not here to start a war with you.

Those old council geezers want proof that you won't betray them.

You've killed the mood.

Lord Hosen.

Do whatever you want with the money or the business.

I don't need that worthless stuff anymore.

You're the one who has killed the mood.

If you care that much about the toy you made,

then stay here and wither away with it.

You are not even worth killing.

I withered away a long time ago.

I can't even bask in the sunlight.

But why do I feel so dried out?

Looks like that little charade was all for nothing.

Why are you doing this, Leader?

You know better than anyone about what happens

when you betray Yoshiwara.

Is that so? What will happen?

So many of you showed up.

Are you gonna throw us a farewell party?

Gin, it really is a farewell to you.

Huh? Why?

What do you mean by "why"?

How many times are you going to get stabbed?

Come on, if you're gonna do it, do it right.

That's a real buzzkill.

You were clearly stabbed too, weren't you?

I'm already worried about what lies ahead.

At this rate, you'll never defeat the Night King.

I don't know how to tell her.

It's best to leave it alone, right?

Traitors must die.

That's the rule here.

Then honor the final rule

with your very own life.

This is great.

Having all the courtesans see me off like this.

It's a man's dream come true.

But with nothing but flat chests around here, it kind of kills the mood.

When it comes to women...

explosive boobs are everything.

They made quite a scene.

They must be here for Hosen too.

Did you see how terribly they were dressed?

Yeah, I could hardly bear to look at them.

You need to put in at least this much effort to blend in here.

Just what we'd expect from you, Hijikata. It suits you.

You're supposed to be a decayed Yubaba, right?

What's a decayed Yubaba?

I suppose kids can't understand the charm of a mature woman.

I'm obviously a top-class hostess at a luxury club.

Don't be ridiculous.

There's no such thing as a luxury club in this town, Hijikata.

No one would ever dress like you.

That concept is so over.

Vice Chief. I did some digging.

I got word

that the dangerous drug is hidden in a corridor leading from that mansion.

I feel bad for them, but they're the perfect decoy.

We are just going to do our job.

By the way, Hijikata, aren't we going to look for Kondo?

Come to think of it, where did that gorilla go?

That is so sad.

I'm sure your mom wants to see you too.

I will see my mom, no matter what.

Let me out of here. Damn you!

Let me out!

Let me out!

Let me out of here!

Let me out, damn it!

Don't cry.

I will help you meet your mother.

Auntie Gorilla.

Fate must have brought us together.

Though it's a Yoshiwara woman's fate never to bear children,

I can still understand, at least a little, how a mother feels for her child.

Hey! We've got intruders.

Hurry to Lord Hosen!

Don't let even a fly through!

Looks like something has happened above.

- This is our chance. - What?

We'll bring your mother to you.

But how?

Well then, shall we go?

Yes. I'll follow you wherever you go.

You stay here and lie low.

I promise we will find your mother.

Traitors!

Catch them!

Hurry!

Intruders?

Quite a commotion.

You aren't interested in the business here,

so I knew it was weird that you came along.

You intended to go up against Hosen from the start, didn't you?

- Did you figure it out? - Of course I did, you moron.

If the Harusame and the Night King start fighting each other,

we're the ones who'll get killed by the higher-ups.

If that happens, I will wipe out every last one of the higher-ups.

And then what?

Are you planning to become the Pirate King or something?

That sounds good too.

The higher you go, the stronger the enemies you'll face.

Yeah, yeah.

Us underlings are truly blessed

to serve a captain with such grand ambitions.

Damn it.

Where are you going, Abuto?

Let's go home already. This place is so boring.

Yeah, you go home.

Before the scary old man kills you.

We lowly underlings will clean up after our captain.

Better yet, I might as well clear the way for you to become the Pirate King.

Good luck!

It's a smoke bomb.

Where did they go?

There they are!

Let's look for Seita.

Hurry up and run, Shinpachi!

Wait!

Shinpachi!

You can't get away!

Tsukuyo!

I'll hold them off here. You go on ahead!

Are you trying to get yourself killed?

A leader has to keep her subordinates in line.

Hand over your pipe.

I can't afford to lose that along with you.

How will we light the bombs?

This might be my last time. Let me take a puff.

No, hurry up and hand it over.

Gin! Are you really gonna leave her behind?

If you really want to smoke, come back for it.

Make sure you come back to smoke it.

If you don't hurry back,

I'll suck the hell out of it.

Hey, Gin.

You go too.

The only person I protect with my life is Hinowa.

I don't have a life to spare protecting the likes of you.

Hurry up and go.

Right.

I am the guardian who protects Hinowa with my life.

I'm prepared to die.

The sun's guardian, Tsukuyo, is ready to go.

Get out of the way!

Let's go find the Night King.

Seita must be there.

Damn you.

Kagura!

Well, what a pleasant surprise!

Damn, you're finally showing up.

You're still alive.

I'm quite impressed.

So there are a few Earthlings with some backbone after all.

Hey, stop daydreaming.

Who are you calling an Earthling?

Don't lump me in with these country bumpkins.

I'm a total... city girl.

Well, what a surprise!

I already had a hunch, but that umbrella proved me right.

Come on, give me a break.

I'm not really into killing my own kind.

Leave this to me.

Don't be an idiot.

Even the three of us together wouldn't stand a chance.

Go on, Gin.

I'll protect Kagura.

What? You'll just get in my way.

Hurry up and go.

You'll get in the way, Gin. Hurry up and go.

- I'm talking to you! - What's that?

Just go, Four-Eyes.

Hey, you two.

You know where to meet, right?

The next time we meet...

It will be under the sun.

Perfect.

They say life is about making a series of choices.

He made the wrong choice.

Against the Night King, there wouldn't even be a scrap of flesh left.

You two made the right choice.

I'll grind the two of you into meat patties.

You're the one who made the wrong choice.

We'll grind that puny thing of yours into a coarse-ground sausage.

Find the intruders!

Don't let them get out alive!

Roger!

Let's hurry.

Courtesan Hinowa is probably upstairs in this mansion, with Hosen.

Ms. Gorilla. If we can get out of here safely, can we...

Yes, sir?

There they are!

- Let's go! - Yes!

Hold it!

Let's take that elevator up.

- Hurry up, sir! - Go ahead without me.

I'll stall them here.

- No, I can't leave you behind. - Hurry up and go!

Um, could you at least tell me your name?

I am not worthy of giving you my name.

Sir!

Please.

Please stay safe.

Good work, everyone.

Well then, time to wrap the men around my finger...

Hey!

This is bad. They must have seen through me.

What's wrong? Have you finally gone berserk?

What?

I get how you feel, brother.

I know we're not supposed to scare the customers,

but we can't keep going like this.

Amanto...

Are these guys Hosen's underlings?

Could these guys be behind the drug spreading through the city?

I haven't seen your face around here.

Are you new here?

Nice to see ya, brother.

Um...

Pleased to meet you.

Guess we look best just the way we were born, huh?

By the way, some weird samurai apparently snuck in.

Samurai?

Give us a hand finding him, brother.

Leader. Why aren't you fighting back?

Until today, I've been punishing those who broke the rules.

Some were women who tried to flee Yoshiwara.

Others were women who could no longer get customers.

After everything I've done,

I can't break the rules

and expect to be the only one to live a carefree life.

But at least let me buy some time.

You would risk your own life to protect those intruders?

I wasn't protecting anyone at all.

I wasn't protecting Hinowa or this town.

Only my cage.

Protecting Yoshiwara...

Protecting Hinowa...

They were all excuses.

Ever since those days, I haven't really changed a bit.

I heard you went against the elder sisters again?

That insolent look on your face is why they've got their eyes on you.

They should just kill me if they want to.

I'd rather be killed than end up with dead eyes like you guys.

Do you really think going to the surface will make you free?

In the end, humans are just apes trapped inside the cage called Earth.

Anyone who sulks over how small the cage is will feel trapped.

Because they spend their lives staring at the bars of their cage.

Real imprisonment is

when you end up building a cage around your own heart.

If you've got time to run around whining that you want to die,

then fight yourself inside that cage of yours.

Hinowa, I won't run away anymore.

Wait.

I'll keep fighting to break the cage.

Leader.

You are not a coward.

You protected every one of us.

You pretended to eliminate women who broke the rules

or could no longer get any customers.

Then you secretly hid them among the Hundred Flowers.

Every one of us standing here was protected by you.

Leader, the sun is not the only light in the sky.

Both the sun and the moon

are irreplaceable lights that shine upon this city of eternal night.

Leader!

- Leader, get a hold of yourself! - Leader!

Hinowa.

I finally feel like I've earned the right to stand beside you.

What's wrong?

Isn't the coarse sausage ready yet?

Unbelievable.

I don't stand a chance.

Even Kagura is getting brushed aside so easily.

We do not move for duty or money.

Only when there is blood in the air and a battlefield to dive into.

That's what they used to say about us, back in the day.

I'm just here for business.

But it doesn't look like you're here for business.

Where is he?

Kamui.

I'm asking you where my idiot brother is.

Brother?

Could it be you're the Captain's...

Wait, you little brat!

What are you doing here?

Are you perhaps looking for your mother?

Huh? What's wrong?

Are you cold? Are you all right?

Come with me. I'll take you to her.

To your mother.

Who the hell are you?

Hand that kid over to us.

I feel like seeing her.

The woman who managed to wrap the Night King Hosen around her finger.

Come on. Let's go see her.

The most beautiful and the strongest woman in Yoshiwara.

I see. So you're the one.

I thought you looked like someone. So you're the Captain's...

Well, this is a real pain.

I thought I'd finally run into one of my kind on this faraway planet.

This goes way beyond killing my own kind.

You don't need to worry about that.

What?

He doesn't think anything of me.

He didn't just try to kill his own kind.

He's a heartless bastard who even tried to kill his own family.

Add his subordinates and master to that list.

Looks like we're in the same boat.

When those at the top are irresponsible, the ones below naturally become reliable.

Get out of my way.

It's the little sister's job to mend her idiot brother's blunder.

Too bad.

Cleaning up the mess left by an idiot boss is a subordinate's job.

K-Kagura.

Kagura!

Ow, ow, ow.

This is a Yato fighting another Yato.

Your battle instincts come from your father.

Or rather, from your brother.

How about it? Just ditch this dump.

How about helping me make your brother the strongest in the universe?

I could talk to him for you and...

Don't lump me in with you guys.

Driven by the Yato blood, you guys wander the battlefield.

I will choose my own battlefield.

Not with my blood,

but with my soul.

Looks like a truce was impossible from the start.

But too bad for you.

Even if you spend your whole life trying,

you'll never be able to beat that idiot brother of yours.

All right, time for a quiz.

A knockout punch or a killer punch.

Which one is stronger?

The answer is

a killer kick.

What? That was a trick question?

Don't be so square.

It's just a quiz.

Haven't you noticed?

You're subconsciously holding back your punches.

You don't want to hurt anyone?

You don't want to kill anyone?

What an admirable thought!

But the only ones who survive

are those bound by nothing.

Those who kill people without any hesitation.

You reject your blood, while we take pride in it.

This was a mismatch from the very beginning.

Let go of Kagura!

That was a good move, boy.

You were totally out to kill me.

However, too bad for you.

I don't have an arm on this side anymore.

Shinpachi!

All right, time to make your choice again.

Which one of you wants to die first?

Stop it! Let go of Shinpachi!

There is no such option.

I told you.

Life is a series of important choices.

Make sure you don't regret your choice.

You're the one

who should die.

The choice has been made.

Stop!

Stop!

Stop!

Kagura?

You have finally awakened, huh?

You beast!

I was just starting to think that me missing an arm

wasn't enough of a handicap for you.

Have you lost not only your mind, but your brains too?

You may be a beast,

but you fight like a little rabbit.

Kagura!

Come on, you've got to be kidding.

I pretty much gave it my all just now.

You're hurting this old man's feelings.

She is overpowering him.

Kagura is overpowering a veteran Yato.

Is that really Kagura?

Is she really...

Is she really the Kagura we all know?

Oh my, what a surprise!

It seems she actually awakened the monster inside her.

No matter how hard you fight your blood,

you're no different from your brother in the end.

Obey your blood and kill.

Take pride in your blood and kill.

That's the only way to survive on the battlefield.

That is the fate of beasts doomed to fight until the day they die.

The fate of the Yato!

What the hell are you doing?

It's not for you.

I promised Gin.

I told him I'd protect Kagura. I will protect Kagura.

I will protect the Kagura we believe in.

She's not just the little sister of some crazy Yato brother.

She's blunt, bratty, and a huge eater.

But she's a very kind girl.

I'm going to protect our precious comrade.

I won't let her get blood on her hands for someone like you.

Open your eyes, Kagura!

Our opponent is not this pathetic man.

Kagura!

You really are a bunch of spoiled brats.

I told you.

On the battlefield,

the ones who hesitate to kill are the first to die.

All right, time to make your choice again.

Will you let Hosen live and be killed by Hosen?

Or will you attempt to kill Hosen and be killed by Hosen?

Now, which will you choose?

What's that?

You're saying both options lead to death in the end?

Don't be so square.

It's just a quiz.

Life is a series of important choices.

Go on, see how long you last with those soft choices of yours.

You!

I told you.

I'm not into killing my own kind.

He actually saved us.

Shinpachi?

Kagura! Thank God! You're back.

I ended up losing.

To myself.

I was trying to kill him.

I acted all high and mighty.

But in the end,

I was no different from my brother and those guys.

That's not true.

Kagura, you fought to protect me.

Sorry. It's because I am weak.

If only I were stronger.

I couldn't hear anything.

The only thing I was able to hear in that darkness

was your voice.

The one who protected me was you, Shinpachi.

It was you.

This is so frustrating. I want to become stronger.

Strong enough to protect everyone.

Strong enough not to lose to anyone, or to myself.

Me too.

But right now,

there are people who need whatever strength we can give.

We still have something we can protect right now.

It may be little by little, but we've been getting stronger.

So wipe away your tears and let's go.

I'm sure we can become even stronger.

You are so persistent.

I'm not into killing women.

Stop! What's the thrill in taking lives?

How can you smile like that while killing people?

This is just how I kill.

No matter what kind of life they lived,

you've gotta send them off smiling in the end.

Come along.

You shouldn't go see your mother with a gloomy face like that.

My mom is here?

Eight years ago,

Hinowa lost her freedom in exchange for yours.

Oiran is just a title.

Hosen locked her in here

and set her on a path to die in this place.

No, you could say Hinowa picked that path for herself.

In order to protect you.

From here on out, it's your job.

Go home.

There is nothing here that you are looking for.

Go home.

Mom.

Mom!

Mom, is that you?

Open the door!

It's me, Seita.

I don't have a son.

I don't know any dirty kid like you.

How do you know I'm a dirty kid?

You were watching, right?

Whenever I was looking at you,

you were looking back at me, right?

I didn't know. I didn't understand anything.

I had no idea you've been protecting me all along.

It's my turn now.

It is my turn to protect you, Mom.

This time, we're going to get out of here.

Together.

Mom!

Open the door!

Please, Mom!

You can hear me, right, Mom?

- Mom! - Shut up!

Your mother is not here.

I hate to repeat myself.

Mom.

If you want to see her so badly, you can see her.

I will let you.

H-Hosen.

Uh-oh! You found us.

If you want to take her with you, go ahead.

Kiddo. That's your mother.

Hinowa is not your mother.

Your mother died long ago. She is not here anymore.

What are you saying?

Eight years ago, a courtesan became pregnant with a child.

In Yoshiwara, pregnant courtesans are disposed of along with their babies.

But some women protected that mother.

And she gave birth to the child while hiding from everyone.

That was you, kiddo.

Your mother died the moment she gave birth to you.

The woman in there is just a pitiful soul who longs to be a mother,

yet can never become one.

She's just a pitiful woman playing house as a mother.

No way.

Why?

Why did you come all the way down here?

It would have been enough if you had stayed safe on the surface.

That's all I wished for.

M-Mom.

I will let you meet your real mother in the land of the dead.

This sword is...

Come on, nobody told me about this.

They said the best woman in Yoshiwara is here

so I came to see for myself.

Turns out she has a kid.

Her tears are the biggest proof.

M-Mom.

Manager, get me a different girl.

Someone who can handle some rough play.

Who the hell are you?

Me?

I'm just someone who loves fooling around with women.

G-Gin!

What are you doing, idiot?

Forget about me and go.

But, um, my real mom is...

That doesn't matter.

That woman protected you with her life.

She brought you out of the eternal darkness and into the world above.

After all that tough talk, are you now getting cold feet?

Call out to her. From the depths of your soul.

Call out, "Mom."

M-Mom.

M-Mom.

Are you sure?

We're not even related by blood.

Do you really want to call a dirty woman like me your mother?

Mom.

Are you sure?

I was not able to do anything for you.

Yet you still call me your mother?

Mom!

Is it okay for me to be your mother?

Mom!

Mom!

- Mom! - Seita!

Mom!

Mom!

I see.

So you're the samurai the kid hired.

Are you the bastard who's been running wild in my town?

Running wild?

I haven't bought a single woman.

I see.

Then I will prepare the star of the show for you.

A banquet of blood.

Having a chained-up woman pour your drinks

doesn't make the booze taste any better.

Are you saying you are going to free Hinowa

and the women of Yoshiwara from the Night King's chains?

Nothing that grand.

I just want to have a nice drink.

I just want the great Oiran herself to pour me a drink with a real smile.

Picking a fight with the Night King for just a single drink?

Seems that Earth has quite an interesting fellow too.

Right, Bossman Hosen?

How scary!

Don't get so angry.

Kamui. What do you want?

I wanted to see the woman who made the Night King go soft.

But I never thought she would be just a pitiful woman clinging to a rag.

She's the sun of Yoshiwara? You've got to be kidding me.

This is not it.

The strength I'm looking for isn't anything this pathetic.

You'd kill anyone, even your own sister or your father.

Is that what you call strength?

How ironic.

Some brothers would kill their own blood related sister.

And some people, even without blood ties,

share bonds far stronger than family.

How interesting.

Oh?

Let me see how strong those so-called bonds of yours really are.

Let us see if you can free Hinowa from my chains,

or if I can sever their bonds first.

Let's fight it out.

A chain forged from some dirty old man's pre-cum?

I'll snap it with one swing.

The Night King should go nighty-night when the sun comes up.

G-Gin!

Well, well.

You managed to stop my strike.

Impressive!

You're still standing against the Night King.

This is getting interesting.

Don't underestimate me, you brat.

I'm gonna die peacefully surrounded by my grandkids.

Damn it!

Gin!

You samurai weren't even able to defend your country from us Amanto.

You no longer have a place to belong,

nor the right to hold a woman in your arms.

You losers can just suck on your thumbs and watch.

Sit there and watch this country and its women be ravaged by the strong.

We haven't lost.

We are still fighting.

You bastard!

- Gin! - Stay back!

Get out of here.

Take your mother and run away from here.

If something happens to the two of you,

it'll defeat the purpose of us coming here in the first place.

No way! I can't do that.

Gin, you said it yourself.

That there are bonds stronger than blood ties.

It was only for a short while, but I had fun.

With you and everyone.

To me, you are my precious family.

Just hearing you say that is enough for me.

Now go.

Don't let me die a loser.

G-Gin.

What a pathetic man.

You lost your country, your master, and everything you had to protect.

And you end your life protecting stuff that belongs to someone else.

G-Gin!

Do you even have time to cry?

The last wish of a man who put his life on the line...

Maybe you ought to grant it.

Mom, we have to run.

You have to run away with me, right now.

Hurry up, Mom!

Mom?

Why won't you move?

I can't run away.

I can't run away from here.

I just can't.

What are you saying?

What are you saying now, Mom?

Stop, Seita!

What the hell is this?

I told you.

Hinowa belongs to me.

That woman can no longer stand on her own,

let alone walk.

So you even took her legs just to keep her bound to you?

How cruel.

What has Mom done to deserve this?

Why does Mom have to suffer like this?

It's okay.

You've done enough.

You have already saved me.

You called me Mom.

That alone gives me the strength

to live no matter where I am.

Mom.

It's just like eight years ago.

A dirty courtesan could never become a mother.

I will prove it to you by killing that kiddo.

My, my.

You are so into her.

Looks like you absolutely need that woman.

It's the other way round.

Money, power, women.

Up until now, I've been strong enough to get all those.

But even with all this power,

there's one thing I could never have.

The one thing we Yato despise the most.

Our one and only nemesis.

Yes, the sun.

It doesn't matter how much I drink.

It doesn't matter how many women I have.

It doesn't matter how much blood splatters onto me.

As long as the sun keeps shining,

my thirst shall never be quenched.

I will drag the sun down to Earth.

You shall sink beneath me, Hinowa.

You belong to me.

Sink her if you can.

It doesn't matter how many times you cloud my mom's face with your shadow.

I will make her smile again and again.

Kiddo.

Seita, put me down.

Do you really think you can shoulder an adult

and escape from Yoshiwara?

Let me carry you this time.

S-Seita.

What a pointless struggle.

Well, that's certainly encouraging.

What the?

Then perhaps I should have you carry all of us too.

Your mothers, all forty-nine of us.

We are lucky to have such a kind son.

Tsukuyo!

What do you think you're doing?

Are you rebelling against the Night King?

Don't blame us.

We were just fooled by a bad customer.

By that man lying over there.

He told us stories about launching a sun into the skies over Yoshiwara.

After all that big talk, what the hell is this pathetic state?

I was a fool for expecting anything from you.

You big fat liar.

I never lied.

The sun did rise.

All around this place. So many of them.

You bastard.

It's so bright, I can't even sleep.

G-Gin!

He got up!

He still hasn't given up.

Sorry, I was wrong.

I thought for sure you were dead.

Shut it, bitch.

After all this time, you've got the nerve to come here?

You took so long getting here, I already sucked on it.

I don't remember a dirty pipe like that.

If you lost it, buy me another one.

On the surface.

You damn half-dead bastards.

Why do you continue to fight?

Why do you have

that look in your eyes?

I don't like those eyes.

Stop looking at me with those eyes.

- Go, Seita! - Gin! Tsukuyo!

Seita, hurry!

Hinowa, hang on just a little more.

- Hey, there they are! The rebels! - No good. There are too many of them.

Seita, take Hinowa and go ahead!

- Okay. - You two.

Hold on!

Mom, come on.

Let's go, Mom.

What is this place?

A storage room?

- Those are drugs. - Drugs?

They're illicit drugs they've been pouring a lot of effort into lately.

Damn it. What a bunch of criminals!

Sorry, Seita.

Why are you apologizing?

Looks like we have no choice but to end everything.

Mom?

Seita, go ahead by yourself.

How can you say that after coming this far?

Every escape route out of Yoshiwara has already been sealed off.

Leave from there.

Stick to the wall and follow the thick pipe.

At the end, there is a facility that controls all of Yoshiwara.

This place used to be a shipyard run by the shogunate.

That is why there is a hatch in the ceiling for ships to come and go.

The Yato despise sunlight to begin with.

And Hosen has not seen daylight in years.

Just imagine what would happen if he were exposed to the sun.

But I can't make you a decoy for that.

There's no freedom waiting for me out there.

You can't gain true freedom without fighting.

Let me fight till the end, Seita.

Mom.

Next time we meet,

let me be spoiled as much as I want, okay?

Seita.

Hey! Ready to go, mama's boy?

Let's get going.

To bring the sun back to Yoshiwara.

Oh my.

Looks like they have seen things they shouldn't have.

What a pain in the ass.

I'll kill you.

Hosen's underlings?

Hinowa.

If you had just been obedient, you wouldn't have had to die.

I'll send all of you straight to hell.

Enkaku.

If we hurt Hinowa, Lord Hosen will be...

That Kamui kid was right.

She's the one who turned Lord Hosen into a helpless fool.

If it weren't for her, he would have climbed out of this hole.

Then Lord Hosen would have taken his place as the head of the Yato again.

- Mom! - Die!

My, this kid is a handful.

I told you to wait right there.

Auntie Gorilla.

Brother, what are you doing?

I'm not your brother.

Even if I'm a gorilla, I am an Earthling.

- Seita, this is your chance. - But...

Go!

I'll protect your mother with my life.

So hurry up and go.

I'll leave my mom in your care, Auntie Gorilla.

Isn't that Kondo?

Of course not. That's just a gorilla with some real guts.

You bastard.

You even dressed up as a courtesan in order to fool all of us.

It all went according to my plan.

Who are you?

I am not worthy of giving you my name.

I'm just a gorilla who was passing by...

What? What's that?

I, um, haven't heard about any additional members.

Too bad for you.

Looks like you are a little short on lives.

How long are you going to keep wearing that cosplay?

- Hijikata! - Just what we'd expect from you, Kondo.

So this really was the source of the drug after all.

Shogunate dogs.

There are plenty of officials in the shogunate we've bought off.

Small fry like you guys can't touch us...

Hey! What are you...?

Gasoline?

If we can't touch you...

We can just burn everything.

Stop it!

No need.

This city of eternal night doesn't need a sun.

Weak little flames like yours.

I'll make sure to wipe out every last flicker.

LAKE TOYA

You bastard!

Hold on

to your soul.

Pull yourself back to life.

Grab onto it.

Cling to it.

No matter what happens.

Go, Gintoki!

Protect it to the very end.

Die!

Now's our chance.

Come, get on.

Don't let them get away!

Damn you!

How far is the control room?

I don't know either.

Kagura, what's wrong?

He's coming. That bastard.

Who's coming?

- Run, Shinpachi! - Wait, Kagura.

- What's going on? - What's wrong?

Idiot Brother.

How troublesome.

It's finally getting interesting, so don't get in my way.

Seita, run! Rush to the control room.

Shinpachi.

Here you go.

How boring.

Not worth my time.

Seita! Run!

Milhouse!

I'm not Milhouse. I'm Katsura.

Don't stop.

Go! Do what needs to be done.

All right.

I don't know who you are.

But if you get in my way, I'll kill you.

Wow.

I guess there are some interesting guys on Earth too.

I won't let the Amanto do whatever they want with this country.

Idiot Brother!

Don't give him a chance to strike back.

There will never be a second chance.

If I don't settle it now, I'll lose.

I will end this.

With this,

it's over!

Attack!

We did it.

Finally, we did it.

Hosen, the Night King, is finally defeated!

Now Yoshiwara and all of us are finally free.

Not yet!

Gin... Gintoki!

Pathetic! You're too weak.

However many feeble flames you cluster together,

they will all be swallowed whole by the abyss of eternal darkness.

You're nowhere close to the sun.

You're all

just weak little flames that go out with one blow.

If you had quietly let yourselves be bound by my chains,

I would have let you live.

But your sparks must be extinguished.

That faint flickering flame.

I won't let you extinguish a single one of them.

Hot!

Even if each candle's flame is weak,

when they come together, they can light up the darkness.

Even if we are extinguished, a single remaining flame is all we need.

We can ignite it once more.

Leader!

- What the? - Take this!

No matter how many times you blow them out, it's pointless.

I have a special spark.

Oh, yeah?

A spark that will never go out.

What's going on?

Someone like you can never extinguish our fire.

Don't tell me...

What is this?

SECOND IMPACT?

Look at that.

This is...

Someone like you

can never extinguish this light.

This light is...

PLEASURE

It's the sun!

My soul is

withering away.

Go!

Gin!

Burn through the Night King's chains!

Hey, Uncle.

Why are you carrying an umbrella when it's so sunny?

Tell me. Why?

Hey! That's no way to talk to Lord Hosen.

Come on, let's go.

I feel sorry for him.

The sky is so beautiful today.

Hey, Uncle.

Why do you hate the sun so much?

Or, perhaps, does the sun hate you?

What are you doing, idiot?

I am very sorry, Lord Hosen.

Come, let's go.

- Uncle, don't. - Hurry along.

You shouldn't fight with the sun.

Don't underestimate adults, you pesky little brat.

You're certainly working hard.

L-Lord Hosen!

What did she do this time?

Well, um, that is...

Show me what you are hiding.

I am so sorry.

She kept insisting on giving this to you.

TO UNCLE FROM HINOWA

U-Uncle.

That's the only thing I have for you right now.

Someday, I'll make you and the sun friends again.

I tore you away from your family and sold you off.

And yet you can still cozy up to me.

No matter who you are,

the sun shines on you just the same.

I'm sure it'll shine on you too.

So Uncle,

don't hate the sun, okay?

My nemesis.

It's been a while since we last met, but nothing has changed.

Up above the sky so high,

you look down on me, the Night King.

How infuriating!

And yet,

what a beautiful sight you are!

Hinowa.

I was finally able to show you

this bright blue sky.

I told you

that I'd make you and the sun friends again.

I knew all along.

No matter how high and mighty you acted, or how cruel you've been,

I knew you were nothing grand enough to be called the Night King.

You were just longing to do this.

All you ever wanted was to take a nap in the sunlight

like any ordinary old man.

What a foolish man.

You are such...

a foolish man.

Yo! Amazing work.

I am quite impressed.

I didn't think you would end up beating the Night King.

I guess coming all this way was worth it.

But I don't think this will change anything in Yoshiwara.

The darkness hanging over this place is not just the Night King.

There's also us, the Harusame, and the shogunate's Black Ops.

And soon, a second, and a third Night King will rise.

It'll change.

Their light won't be extinguished anymore.

That's some confidence.

All right, then. How about you fight this second Night King and...

Kamui. I'm your opponent.

I'll beat that twisted streak out of you.

Stop it, Kagura.

You can't fight him in this state.

She may be a useless little sister, but do your best to make her stronger.

And you should also train more.

Hey, you...

I'm the type who saves my favorite food for last.

That means I've taken an interest in you.

I know you've got a lot going on, but don't die, okay?

Not until I kill you.

See ya, Mr. Samurai.

Wait, Kamui!

Mom!

- Mom! - Seita!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Seita.

Mom!

It's all good.

All's well that ends well.

And somehow, peace finally came to Yoshiwara.

All's well that ends well? My ass!

My idiot brother can take over this town whenever he wants.

No need to worry about that.

As long as I'm alive, he won't lay a finger on this place.

What's that supposed to mean?

Well, that's how it is.

- I don't get it at all. - You don't have to understand.

So, did the higher-ups say anything about this?

They say we should not discuss this incident any further.

So they're pinning the blame on Hosen

and making him the scapegoat, huh?

In the end, I still don't know his name.

I wonder if he is doing well.

Excuse me!

Sir?

Are you perhaps...

What is...

What is your name?

Katsura!

Sir!

Let's go, Elizabeth!

He's getting away! After him!

Sir!

Honestly, they really are a hopelessly stubborn bunch.

They should just dump this troublesome town already

and go live up on the surface.

All the courtesans here were sold

when they were just clueless children.

Hinowa stayed behind because she couldn't abandon the courtesans.

She said, "Let us build a new Yoshiwara.

Let's build a wonderful town

that we can proudly show our children."

So, what has changed?

With the pleasure district gone,

Massxxx parlors and escxxx services multiplied.

And hostess clubs and petting pubs are popular too.

So nothing has changed at all.

You'd surely be ashamed to show it to your kids.

Is Seita really doing okay?

Seita is doing really well.

He lives with Hinowa now, and works in a toy shop.

Oh, thank God! That's perfect for kids...

ADULT TOYS

That's an adult toy shop.

Excuse me. This won't work even after putting in batteries.

Looks like he's getting some complaints.

What's that grown man doing messing with kids?

It doesn't make me happy to say this but...

Hey Gin! Hey everyone!

Seita!

I missed you guys.

I'm going to work hard in this town.

Don't come stomping up sounding like a Mobile Suit!

Tsukuyo, help!

We've got an incident!

- Where were you aiming? - Move it, Four-Eyes.

What do you think

of our new town?

It's a lot like a place I know really well.

You're right.

It's no different from our neighborhood.

It is crude and violent, kind and cold.

It has smiles and tears, and even the sun shining over it.

It's just another ordinary town.

Isn't it wonderful?

Delicious.

Yoshiwara has fallen?

So even Hosen's gotten soft with age, huh?

It seems

the silver-haired samurai went berserk.

Could it be that guy?

Now then, the real festivities are about to begin.
