The Story So Far

The land of the samurai.

There was a time, long ago, when our country was called by that name.

Now, the world has entered a Great Pirate Era!

By a twist of fate, our hero Gin-san ate a Wave Wave Fruit, gained a perm,

decided to solve all his problems with money,

and left on a journey to find the Pirate King's treasure.

Boom!

I'm gonna be the king of the nouveau rich!

On his travels,

he met a girl looking for seven balls that can summon a shining dragon:

the genius beauty Kagura-chan.

I'll let you feel all the romance.

On the way, they also picked up a glasses monster.

Shinpachu!

Wow, you must be a glasses Friend!

Hey, Shinpachu, bring out the Japari Bus. I'm tired of walking.

They all worked together,

defeated the terrifying evil overlord,

Two Years Later...

and two years later,

the three of them reunited at the Jabondy Archipelago

World Chunin Hunter Hero Exam

and were about to take the World Chunin Hunter Hero Exam...

Are you kidding me?

What the hell is this recap?!

Y'know, we've been doing a bunch of long arcs, reruns, and breaks lately,

so I wrote that, figuring we should casually look back on the story.

You casually filled it with lies!

And you ripped off too many series!

Roughly put, the story did go something like that.

In the last long arc, for example, we went to another planet out in space

and fought a combat race whose strong emotions awakened their powers.

Uh, that is somewhat right, but...

Hell, you were basically the star of that arc. Sure you wanna sum it up that way?

Listen up.

We didn't learn the Whateverhameha or become Whatever Masters.

We're not headed for the Whatever Line, either!

Shogun Assassination

Farewell Shinsengumi

We were originally supposed to enter the final long arc now,

Battle on Rakuyo

Final Arc?

but stuff happened, and now we're here.

Slip Arc

Gin-san, you're basically a guy with a perm and dead fish eyes.

Kabuki District First

You run an odd jobs business in Edo's Kabuki District.

Odd Jobs Gin-chan

Kagura-chan, you're one of the Yato, a combat race,

a glutton, and you always carry an umbrella.

And I, Shinpachi,

am Suda Masaki in 3D.

How long are you gonna keep talking about the live-action movie?

Enough with the Suda nonsense! No more Granbluing!

Y'know, the more you do that, the more miserable you'll be.

Open your eyes!

But I have to ride this wave and get myself a hottie image!

What others do doesn't matter to us!

Come on! Let's start the anime already!

Okay...

Gintama

Slip Arc

Watch the Slip Arc in a bright room and at a safe distance from your TV!

Yeah, the sunshine on Earth is too much to handle.

I feel like I'm going bald.

Earth really isn't a planet we Yato are meant to live on.

Kagura-chan said it didn't bother her, but will she really be okay?

Sure, she may be fine now,

but what if staying here too long affects her body—

Hey, check that out.

That old dude's got an umbrella even though it ain't raining.

He should probably get some sun and photosynthesize or something.

It'd help his head.

Hey!

What in the world happened to you two?

Your entire body is toasted!

What do you think you're doing, old man?

Hang in there! I'll call an ambulance now!

No, call the cops instead!

Somebody help!

This planet really is dangerous.

If Kagura-chan stays here, someday...

Her whole body might end up toasted, and she might bring home a toasted boyfriend.

We're already expecting.

There might be a new toasted life growing in her womb.

We'd have no choice but to throw a shotgun wedding in the shadows.

But in a matter of months, her married life would be toast.

It's all burned!

Unable to fend for herself and her child as a single toast mother...

Oh dear, mister. Your whole body's so toasted.

She'd start working at a shady shop.

Eventually, even her heart would be toasted black, and...

We found a burned, toasted will.

Forgive me, Daddy.

I won't stand for it!

Daddy will not accept toast of any sort!

If you stay here, everything will be toast!

I'm gonna take her back before everything becomes toast!

Hey, sir.

Hair Growth Powder Toasty A magical way to hide your hair loss Free Trial Period

We're running a free trial period right now.

Would you like to try it?

One spray, and your head will be a toasty black.

I won't stand for it!

Only Daddy's head needs to be toasty!

That's enough! Daddy has enough hair on his head!

Be it Daddy's hair or your life here on Earth, this is plenty!

You should say goodbye to this rotten place...

That's Kagura-chan.

Thank goodness. Looks like she's not toasted yet.

Kagura-chan

Um, here.

You can give me your answer some other time.

Bye.

Hey, wait.

What is this?

Let's see...

Dear Kagura-chan...

Dear Kagura-chan, Ever since we first met, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you.

Ever since we first met, I haven't been able to stop thinking about you."

All this while, I've played with you like you were one of the guys,

Road Safety Be careful up ahead!!

but I can't suppress these feelings anymore.

Please go out with me.

My heart is

burning with such passionate love for you

that it is now toasted pitch-black.

The Stairs to Adulthood May Not Always Lead Up

Odd Jobs Gin-chan

Hey!

What the heck is this? What happened?

Pachi-boy, I asked you to get me a spoon.

If you're giving me such a massive spoon, give me a massive serving of pudding, too.

I assume you're okay with that...

as your last supper.

You're okay with that?

U-Umibozu-san?

Oh, Pops. If you'd told us you were coming,

we would've got another pudding for you.

Did you go out of your way to get your own

shiny pudding?

My head is not shiny pudding!

Why are you so cranky pudding as soon as you get here? Aren't you being rude?

I don't wanna hear that from a guy who keeps calling my head pudding!

You were supposed to look after my precious daughter! What were you looking at?

This is the height of negligence!

Huh? Did something happen to Kagura-chan?

I'm home!

Huh? You're here, Daddy?

Long time no see.

Kagura!

Perfect timing. I've got good news to share with you all.

No! I don't wanna hear it!

I have a boyfriend now.

Wait a second.

Not "I got a love letter"?

"Boyfriend"?

We're going on a date tomorrow.

What should I wear?

Uh, Shinpachi...

What's a "boyfriend" again?

Like these things?

No, that's a dry limb.

"Dry limb" and "boyfriend" barely sound alike.

Like this, then?

Uh, that's "boyfriend death."

Boyfriend DEATH

Get away from the tree already. Just take the guy.

Oh, so like this?

Why'd you turn it into Chris's evolution chart?

He just evolved from dry limbs to more dry limbs!

How could this be?

He said he'd wait for his answer, but she gave it to him so quickly?

And she said okay?!

What're you gonna do about this?

This wouldn't have happened if you'd kept an eye on her!

Calm down. This has to be some bad joke.

Kagura, of all people, could never get a boyfriend.

You're right.

This has to be some kind of bad joke or bad dream, right?

Exactly.

Who'd fall for that vulgar, gluttonous mass with no sex appeal—that hurloine?

She probably just got Punk'd or something.

She's your daughter. She inherited all your unlucky genes.

Have more faith in her.

You're right!

This couldn't happen to a girl who was swimming in my filthy b*lls...

Who're you calling a filthy b*ll girl?!

I never went that far.

Please, cool off your b*ll head for a sec.

Don't worry. This can't be real.

You never know.

I've heard that even grade schoolers are dating these days.

And while Kagura-chan may look childish, she's fourteen.

Besides, if you go just by looks, she's a beauty.

Considering all that—

Hey, what do you mean, grade schoolers?

Has this planet gotten that dirty?
