Following a year-long absence, Shinpachi Shimura returns to Edo expecting to reunite with his fellow Yorozuya members. Instead, he finds himself in a city that barely resembles the one he remembers. Gintoki and Kagura have undergone shocking transformations, familiar faces behave like entirely different people, and even his sister Otae is now married to her persistent admirer, Shinsengumi commander Isao Kondou, with a child on the way.
Struggling to make sense of these impossible developments, Shinpachi reluctantly joins the Shinsengumi, only to discover that its members have changed just as dramatically. Amid the confusion, he finds an unlikely ally in Toushirou Hijikata, one of the few people who appears to have remained the same. Together, they attempt to uncover the truth and restore Edo to its former state.
As the Yorozuya's misadventures continue, Gintama' delivers another unpredictable mix of absurd humor, outrageous parodies, explosive action, and surprisingly heartfelt moments in a city where absolutely anything can happen.
