Gintama the Movie 2026: Yoshiwara in Flames

Shin Gintama Movie: Yoshiwara Daienjou is an action-comedy sci-fi film that adapts the beloved Yoshiwara Enjou arc from the original manga series. The movie released on February 13, 2026, as part of Gintama's 20th Anniversary Project and is now finished airing. This single feature film condenses the narrative from volumes 25 and 26 of the manga, which originally spanned eight television episodes in the series proper.

The story follows Gintoki as he encounters Haruta, a young pickpocket desperate to reunite with his mother Hiwa, a celebrated courtesan in the pleasure district of Yoshiwara. What begins as a simple mission to help a child turns into a dangerous confrontation with Housen, the tyrannical Night King who controls Yoshiwara's underworld. The film combines the franchise's signature blend of humor, heart, and high-stakes action as Gintoki and his companions work to challenge the status quo and achieve their goal.

Fans of the Gintama series looking to experience this iconic arc in a fresh cinematic format will find this movie delivers a complete story that works as both a recap for long-time viewers and an exciting standalone adventure. The movie was announced at the Gintama Multiverse Festival in August as one of several projects celebrating the franchise's two decades.
