Synopsis
Gintoki and Yorozuya go underground, then journey to space amid criminal alliances and interplanetary politics.
After finding themselves on the wrong side of the law, Gintoki and his friends have gone underground alongside their old allies. When mysterious visitors arrive with urgent news about shifting alliances among the criminal underworld, the Yorozuya is drawn into a dangerous mission that will take them far beyond Edo. Their journey leads them to the stars, where old faces and new enemies await among the gathering storm of interplanetary politics. As various factions converge on a distant world, long-buried histories and simmering tensions threaten to explode into open conflict. In this volatile atmosphere, the Yorozuya must navigate treacherous waters where yesterday's enemies might be today's allies, and nothing is quite as it seems.
