The official website for the upcoming new compilation film from the Gintama anime franchise released a 60-second trailer today on May 23. The upcoming second compilation film is based on the TV anime’s Courtesan of a Nation Arc (known as Ikkoku Keisei-hen in Japan), which were told from the TV anime’s 257th to 261st episodes. In the clip, the franchise’s three main characters — Gintoki Sakata (CV: Tomokazu Sugita), Shinpachi Shimura (CV: Daizuke Sakaguchi, and Kagura (Rie Kugimiya) — introduces the highlights of the film.
Following the first film in November 2023, Gintama on Theater 2D Ikkoku Keisei-hen will screen with extra footage at Japanese theaters for a limited time of three weeks from June 21, 2024. It has been also announced that the first week theatergoers will receive the “Gingin-san” box tissues as a bonus. It is inspired by the box tissues that Gintoki had prepared in the story to transform himself into a dangerous man, Gingin-san, when he went to Yoshiwara. Bonus items for theatergoers are also available for the second and third weeks.
