- A brand-new spin-off featuring Gintoki as a teacher is in the works, with no streaming platform announced yet.
- The films will highlight the Shinsengumi Crisis Arc and Kabukicho Four Devas Arc, screening for three weeks.
Gintama enthusiasts can look forward to two exciting compilation movies set to premiere in early 2025. While the much-anticipated spin-off, 3-Nen Z-Gumi Ginpachi-Sensei, is scheduled for an October 2025 release, fans of the original series will have these compilations to tide them over.
The forthcoming spin-off centers on Gintoki as a teacher, casting familiar characters as students in a school setting. However, as of now, there are no confirmations regarding streaming platforms such as Crunchyroll, Netflix, or HIDIVE for this new series.
The compilation films will cover critical story arcs: the Shinsengumi Crisis Arc and the Kabukicho Four Devas Arc. The first film, titled Gintama on Theater 2D: Shinsengumi Crisis Arc, is set for a release date of February 7, 2025, while the second film, Gintama on Theater 2D: Kabukicho Four Devas Arc, will debut on February 21, 2025. Both films are slated for a three-week theater run, although international release details remain elusive.

Details on the Shinsengumi Crisis Arc and Kabukicho Four Devas Arc
The Shinsengumi Crisis Arc focuses on character Ito Komotaro, a key advisor to the Shinsengumi, and revolves around a cursed sword that Hijikata receives. This arc consists of only five episodes from the original anime, specifically episodes 101 to 105.
In contrast, the Kabukicho Four Devas Arc introduces Pirako Chin, a girl on a quest to find the strongest man in the Kabuki district, aiming to have Gintoki assume control. This arc too spans five episodes, covering episodes 210 to 214.
Gintama Series Overview
Gintama unfolds within an alternate Edo-period Japan, where an alien invasion prompts significant political changes. In this unique narrative, the shogun capitulates, permitting the aliens’ entrance into the country, leading to a ban on swords—a clever parody of Japan’s diplomatic history following the Perry Expedition of 1852-1855.
At the heart of this story is Gintoki Sakata, a freelance oddjobber who teams up with Shinpachi Shimura and Kagura. This dynamic trio embarks on various adventures, frequently encountering criminal elements. While the series primarily takes an episodic format, an overarching plot develops throughout its progression.
Serialized from 2003 to 2019, Gintama was compiled into a total of 77 volumes. Its animated adaptation, initially produced by Studio Sunrise from 2006 to 2010, continued under Bandai Namco Pictures for subsequent story arcs, including the anticipated new spin-off.
For those interested in binge-watching Gintama, it is currently available for streaming on Crunchyroll.
