Plot
The series is focused in the Edo period, where humanity has been attacked by aliens known as “Amanto” or sky people. The samurai are ready to fend for their people and nation but the Shogunate ends up surrendering to the aliens in a show of cowardice after realizing their power, and enters into a contract with the aliens that is considered ‘unequal’.
The samurai are asked to give up their weaponry and swords, and the alien invaders are allowed to roam free and enter the country. The series follows Gintoki Sakata who works as an odd-jobs freelancer.
He helps a teenager named Shinpachi Shimura save his sister Tae from an alien group that wants to send her to a brothel. Impressed by Gintoki, Shinpachi becomes his freelance apprentice to pay the bills and learn more about the enigmatic samurai.
When the pair rescues a teenage alien girl with super-strength, Kagura, from a Yakuza group, they accept her into their odd-jobs freelancing business, and the three become known as “Yorozuya”.
While working, they regularly encounter the Shinsengumi police force, who often ally with Gintoki when work involves dangerous criminals. The trio also meets Gintoki’s former comrades from the Amanto invasion, including the revolutionary Kotaro Katsura who is friendly toward them despite his terrorist activities against the alien-controlled government.
The story is balanced, as it follows a level path between episodic and shorter plotlines that resolve quickly and a rich background plot that develops from beginning to end.
