GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class (3年Z組銀八先生)

Wake up.

Hey, wake up.

I said wake up.

Huh?

Hey, you. Wake up now.

WATCH MR. GINPACHI'S ZANY CLASS WELL-LIT

AT A SAFE DISTANCE FROM SCREEN. TEACH'S ORDERS.

What the--? Where am I?

Hold on.

Are you me?

No, I'm not you. I'm me.

My name is Gin. Gintoki.

See, omitting any details, both of us are Gin.

Hold on.

Then that means that I'm…

I don't really get it, but okay, whatever. Bye.

Oh, now look here. Sleeping twice in a spiritual world

has been done before in the Gintama series.

Ahem.

Listen.

From the main character of the Gintama series, Gintoki Sakata,

to the main character of the series,

Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class, Ginpachi Sakata.

The Hero Handover Ceremony begins!

A handover ceremony?

What the heck is that?

Okay, well, you see, it's about this show.

, the series producer, he goes like,

I know. I'll make a new Gintama.

Casually, on the spur of the moment

to all the people involved.

And that's the start of everything.

Who are those people involved?

You seem to be talking about the girls who got involved

with a producer in a different way.

I'm going to do a brand-new Gintama.

Yeah, but to be blunt, the novel Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class

was created over 20 years ago in the heat of the moment

from Gintama's bonus parts with only a few pages.

So, you know, hardliners say that it's like,

not even really Gintama.

They say Ginpachi is a patchwork of Gintama knockoffs.

You think that's a good pun?!

And why leak behind-the-scenes info in the first episode?

No, I meant that in a good way.

I meant a knockoff in a good way.

But then I warned them

that it wasn't a good idea to go through with it.

Since Gintama ended so beautifully, trying to make use

of Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class

would just seem desperate and it'll flop.

How is this ending beautifully?!

It's not even Gintama!

Ball must have a grudge against us!

I can see that. What's awaiting us is not Mr. Ginpachi.

It'll be Gintama GT.

We should all be apologizing to Mr. Toriyama.

Hey! Your old Gintama series

should say, sorry, Mr. Toriyama.

My point is, when the fans think Gintama will start again,

it'll turn out to be a high school anime

with a different vibe. And, of course,

the fans will be confused. As a result, from me… to you,

we will clearly show everyone the passing of the hero baton.

Hey, look over there.

Everyone's already started passing the baton.

Uh, no, they're just changing clothes.

The anime crew are officially passing the Baton.

Didn't make it!

It looks like the baton is way too heavy to handle.

Passing the Baton!

This guy's been crushed by the pressure.

I'd say the production staff of Mr. Ginpachi

have successfully received their Baton Rouge.

What's with the blood?!

It looks like someone crossed the line

when handing over the baton.

But I told you already.

Unless the hero is seen passing the baton,

there will be a lot of resulting damage.

Look, there's Shinpachi and Kagura.

Hey! Why is there

a live action version of Passing the Baton?!

You think it'll make this look like a Netflix show?

It's not even Gintama GT.

It's more like Gintama Evolution!

We had no other choice. We had…

But look, isn't this a touching scene?

Don't mention such a touchy subject!

Well, anyway, here it is.

Here's the hero baton.

I entrust it to you.

CORN POTAGE YUMMY STICK

Hey! It's just a snack bar!

A dream?

Huh.

CORN POTAGE YUMMY STICK

Mr. Ginpachi, will you please just go ahead

and start the show already?

IF I WERE THE CREATOR,

I WOULD HAVE PLACED YOUTH AT THE END OF LIFE.

ANATOLE FRANCE

IF I WERE THE CREATOR, WELL,

I WOULD ADD CHOCOLATE PARFAIT TO THE CAFETERIA MENU.

SAKATA GINPACHI

Mr.Ginpachi's…

Zany Class starts.

SO, YEAH, HERE WE GO WITH THE GINPACHI-SENSEI ANIME.

THE STUFF GINTOKI SAID IN THE INTRO

WAS PRETTY MUCH ALL TRUE.

CRAM SCHOOL TEACHERS SURE LOVE

TELLING YOU TO AIM FOR A 70, NOT A 100

Well, allow me to be perfectly blunt, Mr. Ginpachi.

All the students who are in your senior class Z.

They all have extremely bad grade point averages.

PRINCIPAL HATA

What? Are these really test scores?

They're more like the average age of young comedians.

That's the kind of test scores

they're getting… on each and every test.

JAPANESE TEACHER 3-Z CLASS TEACHER

SAKATA GINPACHI

Yes, of course. I know that already.

I happen to be their homeroom teacher.

Mr. Ginpachi, take this seriously!

Okay.

So what am I supposed to do, manager?

He's supposed to be the principal!

Don't say "supposed to be."

Now, for this, I'm going to have to play a strong hand.

Have to play a strong hand?

Regarding next week's scheduled exam,

every student in your class

needs to score 80 or more in at least one subject.

And if that isn't accomplished…

everyone in Senior class Z

will have to attend extra weekend classes!

And you will personally suffer a 20% pay cut!

Pay cut! Pay cut!

A 20% pay cut?! What the hell?!

Seriously, don't mess with me.

Ouch.

So bring it on, bloody principal.

Hey. You're the one who made me all bloody.

Fine. I'll do it.

I'll allow you to make me do it.

The students will take extra classes

both after school and weekends.

And I'll agree to a pay cut of 10%.

Fine with me.

I know you just subtly reduced your own penalty pay cut.

Oh, but principal,

Mr. Ginpachi made a great suggestion.

Letting students take extra classes weekdays too, dude.

Don't you dare dude me.

I'm the principal.

Oops, sorry, dude. I mean, sorry, man.

Are you really okay with all this?

I'm okay with it.

But in exchange, I'll only take a 10% pay cut.

You won't yield on that part?

Of course I won't yield.

See ya, Mr. Bloody.

Hey, listen. I told you. You're the one who made me all bloody.

Well, I'll be looking forward to the results, Mr. Ginpachi,

the homeroom teacher of senior class Z.

Yeah. And so then, for the next exam after the break, everyone

must score an 80 or higher in at least one subject.

No way!

What the hell are you doing, you desperate housewife!

KAGURA

How dare you eat my precious sausage without my permission?

Stop grumbling about it.

CATHERINE

I only ate your sausage.

You spit it out right now. Hear me?

Hey, you guys listening?

MONE

DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE HIJIKATA TOSHIRO

Hey, Okita.

That smartphone you have, isn't that mine?

Yeah, it is.

DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE OKITA SOGO

And why the heck are you signing up

for a dating app with my phone?

It's so that a shy and slow boy like you

won't marry mayonnaise in the future.

Oh, I see. Then, thank you.

No! Don't you dare do that without my permission.

I got a reply.

Hey! Stop playing around and give it back.

Otae princess!

DISCIPLINARY REP KONDO ISAO

Oh my, you're even more beautiful this morning!

Your school uniform looks like your dress

made of pure gold, my princess!

OTAE

Stop calling me your princess because you really gross me out.

In this show, we're just a couple

of high school classmates.
