What is Gintama: The Final Chapter - Be Forever Yorozuya about?

Gintama: The Final Chapter - Be Forever Yorozuya is an anime film animated by Sunrise, adapted from a manga. It was released in July 6, 2013. AniList classifies it as action, comedy and science fiction. It continues from Gintama Season 2 Part 2, which is worth watching first.

When Gintoki apprehends a movie pirate at a premiere, he checks the camera's footage and finds himself transported to a bleak, post-apocalyptic version of Edo, where a mysterious epidemic called the "White Plague" has ravished the world's population. It turns out that the movie pirate wasn't a pirate after all—it was an android time machine, and Gintoki has been hurtled five years into the future! Shinpachi and Kagura, his Yorozuya cohorts, have had a falling out and are now battle-hardened solo vigilantes and he himself has been missing for years, disappearing without a trace after scribbling a strange message in his journal.

Setting out in the disguise given to him by the android time machine, Gintoki haphazardly reunites the Yorozuya team to investigate the White Plague, and soon discovers that the key to saving the future lies in the darkness of his own past. Determined to confront a powerful foe, he makes an important discovery—with a ragtag band of friends and allies at his side, he doesn't have to fight alone.

Main characters

Characters AniList lists in a main role, with spoiler-free notes.

  • Gintoki Sakata 坂田銀時

    Main character

    A samurai living in an era where a samurai is no longer needed. To add to his troubles, oppressive aliens have moved in to invade. Gintoki lives with Kagura and Shinpachi, taking on odd jobs to make the world a better place...and to pay their rent.

    Japanese voice: Tomokazu Sugita

  • Shinpachi Shimura 志村新八

    Main character

    Shinpachi Shimura works under Gintoki to learn the ways of the samurai. He used to stay at his family's dōjo. However, it seems more like he's just trying to help Gintoki pay the rent than to learn. Shinpachi is the captain of the "Otsu's Imperial Guard," a pop singer's fan club.

    Japanese voice: Daisuke Sakaguchi

  • Kagura 神楽

    Main character

    Although she appears to be a normal, cute, human girl in Chinese-style clothing, she actually belongs to the Yato Clan, one of the strongest and most bloodthirsty of the Amanto races. The Yato is said to have "transparent" skin that is highly sensitive to sunlight, so Kagura carries a purple parasol at all times.

    Japanese voice: Rie Kugimiya

Supporting characters

  • Kotarou Katsura 桂小太郎

    Supporting character

    Katsura is Gintoki's former comrade during the Joi war. Even after the Amanto take-over of Japan, Katsura continues to resist the Amanto, and has amassed a band of followers. He is a wanted man due to his involvement in terrorist activities against the Bakufu, and is constantly on the run from the Shinsengumi.

    Japanese voice: Akira Ishida

  • Ayame Sarutobi 猿飛あやめ

    Supporting character

    Sarutobi Ayame is a ninja from the Oniwabanshuu by training, but is currently working as an assassin. She also has a part-time job at the Kunoichi Café. Since her initial appearance, she has developed a serious obsessive infatuation with Sakata Gintoki, to the point of even stalking him.

    Japanese voice: Yuu Kobayashi

  • Sougo Okita 沖田総悟

    Supporting character

    Okita is the best swordsman in the Shinsengumi. Personality-wise, he tends to be light-hearted and somewhat childish though his speech is heavily deadpan.

    Japanese voice: Kenichi Suzumura

  • Toushirou Hijikata 土方十四郎

    Supporting character

    Toshiro Hijikata is the famed chain smoking, vice commander of the Shinsengumi so named by his subordinates, because of his fearsome demeanor. Purportedly the brains behind the force, he takes his work seriously, and is fiercely loyal to his leader, Isao Kondo.

    Japanese voice: Kazuya Nakai

  • Sadaharu 定春

    Supporting character

    Sadaharu has the outward appearance of a giant dog, but is actually an inugami. When sitting on his haunches, he is taller than most humans. He was left in front of Gintoki's apartment in a box that had "To Mr. Freelancer" written on it.

    Japanese voice: Mikako Takahashi

  • Isao Kondou 近藤勲

    Supporting character

    Isao Kondo is the Commander of the Shinsengumi. When not working, he is the stalker of Tae Shimura, earning him the nickname Gorilla-stalker. His superior is Katakuriko Matsudaira, a high-ranking government officer under direct control of the Bakufu.

    Japanese voice: Susumu Chiba

  • Tae Shimura 志村妙

    Supporting character

    Tae Shimura is Shinpachi's older sister. She runs the Kakidokan Dojo—which was her father's failing dojo—with her brother. She is usually addressed as "Otae"; the "O" is an honorific used to refer to women. Kagura always addresses her as "big sister" (anego).

    Japanese voice: Satsuki Yukino

  • Tatsuma Sakamoto 坂本辰馬

    Supporting character

    Sakamoto is a former member of the Joi. He is a good-natured man and optimistic to the point of being ridiculous, even in the most dangerous situations. His favorite phrase is "AHAHA! It must be _". He also has a tendency to misspell names; he calls Gintoki "Kintoki".

    Japanese voice: Shinichirou Miki

  • Elizabeth エリザベス

    Supporting character

    Elizabeth resembles a giant white duck or a giant penguin and is Katsura's companion. Elizabeth was a present from Tatsuma Sakamoto, who presumably picked it up on his travels around space.

    Japanese voice: Akira Kamiya

  • Shinsuke Takasugi 高杉晋助

    Supporting character

    A former comrade of Gintoki and Katsura and a major antagonist. He is easily recognisable through his bandaged left eye, his colorful kimono, his eerie smile, and the pipe he is often seen smoking.

    Japanese voice: Takehito Koyasu

  • Taizou Hasegawa 長谷川泰三

    Supporting character

    Hasegawa used to be an official working for the Bakufu, but after an unfortunate incident with Amanto dignitary Prince Hata, whom he was assigned to serve and protect, his superior asked him to succumb to his shame and commit seppuku, hearing that he ran away from his quarters.

    Japanese voice: Fumihiko Tachiki

  • Sagaru Yamazaki 山崎退

    Supporting character

    Yamazaki is a spy, whose specialty is naturally gathering intelligence. Yamazaki is often caught by Hijikata playing badminton by himself, and he is subsequently beaten. He is often seen cosplaying as a badminton-playing version of Echizen Ryoma from The Prince of Tennis.

    Japanese voice: Tetsuharu Oota
