The films include minor comedic stories alongside the major arcs to help pad the films as well as show off Gintama's iconic gag side however, they shorten and modify them significantly in order to fit them in and somehow relate them/lead them in to the major plot (for example the first film only adapts about a third of the Beetle Hunt story and uses it to help introduce characters and act as a precursor to the Benizakura incident).Adaptation Distillation: Changes are inevitable for a film adaptation of a long-running series, although since the films adapt specific arcs the changes aren't deal-breaking.In the adaptation, Kagura also proves to be a big help to Okita in his fight, with the two acting as Back-to-Back Badasses (except they also hate each other and couldn't care less if they accidentally endanger the other). Adaptational Badass: Shinpachi and Kagura help out a lot in the final battle of the original Shinsengumi Crisis arc, but they're otherwise put on the backseat in favour of Gintoki and the Shinsengumi who are more experienced and suited to the gritty battle than they are at this stage.Gintoki (Shun Oguri) teases Kagura by calling out her name during their introduction in the first film, in the same way his character Rui from Boys over Flowers calls out the female protagonist's name.A "once-in-a-thousand-years" photo of Kagura doing the pose is used to introduce her in the first film, and Tosshi makes her do the same pose when taking photos of her in the second film. Both films do not fail to refer to Kagura's (Kanna Hashimoto) viral photo of her dancing that shot her to fame as an idol.All this takes place in the Edo period, except the invaders are Amanto aliens instead of Westerners and they brought their technology along with them, giving Edo a weird futuristic setting. During the process they often clash with their Sitcom Arch-Nemesis the Shinsengumi, which includes the gorilla-like leader Kondou (Kankuro Nakamura), demon vice-chief Hijikata (Yuuya Yagira), and the sadist Okita (Ryo Yoshizawa).ĭespite all the hilarity that ensues, Edo is frequently in serious danger, often at the hands of the Big Bad and Gintoki's former childhood friend Takasugi (Tsuyoshi Domoto), and the Yorozuya are more than less willing to help save their city. The trio's jobs (when they have any) are to do any tasks they're asked to do.

Like the original, the adaptation follows the adventures of the trio known as Yorozuya Gin-chan - the laidback leader and titular samurai Gintoki (Shun Oguri), the glasses-wearing straight man Shinpachi (Masaki Suda), and the gluttonous alien from the powerful Yato clan Kagura (Kanna Hashimoto).
