Gintama is Finally Back?
Gintama returns with a multiversal anime spinoff. Could this also launch more types of short shows for Gintama’s future?
On October 10, 2024, it was announced that Gintama would return in the form of the spin-off comedy “3-nen Z gumi Ginpachi-sensei”.
The anime will be released on October 2025.

Along with the key visual, a trailer was released, beginning with a shot of the Class 3-Z sign as the Yorozuya trio talk for 90 seconds straight and Shinpachi begins to complain, wanting the PV to play already.
The PV does play and what happens instead is a 30-second storyboard sequence, instead of a fully animated scene, of Gintoki seemingly cutting Prince Hata’s antenna, to drive the humor further.
Shinpachi complains about this as we cut back to the class sign and Gintoki announces that the “real PV” will be at Jump Festa on December 2024.
This series was made in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the Gintama manga that began serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump on December 8, 2003.
Prior to this, on August 27, 2024, Sorachi re-drew series protagonist Sakata Gintoki’s first appearance to promote the Gintama Art Exhibition held in Tokyo, beginning this December 14, 2024.

The original Gintama manga ended in 2019, reaching 77 volumes.
As of December 2023, the Gintama manga has sold over 58 million copies, being one of the best-selling manga of all time.
The anime premiered on April 4, 2006 under Sunrise Studio (Cowboy Bebop, Code Geass) but then moved to its sub-branch, Bandai Namco Pictures, in April 8, 2015.
The Gintama anime concluded through the 2021 film “Gintama: The Very Final”, which covered the final arc of the series, Silver Soul Aftermath.
Gintama is the story of Sakata Gintoki, the head of an odd-jobs group with Shinpachi and Kagura, a Yato Tribe alien, living under an alien-occupied late-Edo Japan that bans the use of swords.
Gintoki was a former samurai rebel before experiencing many losses that led him to his current path.
