Synopsis
Outlawed and underground, Gintoki's Yorozuya follows urgent underworld news to the stars, where yesterday's enemies might be today's allies.
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.

After joining the resistance against the bakufu, Gintoki and the gang are in hiding, along with Katsura and his Joui rebels. The Yorozuya is soon approached by Nobume Imai and two members of the Kiheitai, who explain that the Harusame pirates have turned against 7th Division Captain Kamui and their former ally Takasugi. The Kiheitai present Gintoki with a job: find Takasugi, who has been missing since his ship was ambushed in a Harusame raid. Nobume also makes a stunning revelation regarding the Tendoushuu, a secret organization pulling the strings of numerous factions, and their leader Utsuro, the shadowy figure with an uncanny resemblance to Gintoki's former teacher. Hitching a ride on Sakamoto's space ship, the Yorozuya and Katsura set out for Rakuyou, Kagura's home planet, where the various factions have gathered and tensions are brewing. Long-held grudges, political infighting, and the Tendoushuu's sinister overarching plan finally culminate into a massive, decisive battle on Rakuyou.
