As the war temporarily calms down and Edo rebuilds, Gintoki finds Shinpachi—who is still unaware of his return—on a bridge. However, as a fight quickly breaks out between the Yorozuya and the Tenshouin Naraku, suspicion grows, forcing Gintoki to use what is nearest—a loincloth—to mask his identity. Saved for the time being, Gintoki enters the Yorozuya office, but unbeknownst to him, someone else is already waiting there...
Meanwhile, Kondou departs Earth to marry Princess Bubbles in an attempt to improve diplomatic relations. After boarding the Gorilla Amanto mother ship, he realizes that he doesn't speak their language. Confused, Kondou tries conversing with them, only to inadvertently gain their support. However, someone associated with the princess crashes the ongoing ceremony. Will the wedding continue, or has Kondou just been saved from becoming the next Gorilla Prince?

Where it came from
Gintama: THE SEMI-FINAL was released in early 2021 as a two-episode digital special bridging the gap between the conclusion of the Gintama manga and the theatrical release of the final feature film, Gintama: The Final. Produced by Bandai Namco Pictures, the special was designed to provide additional narrative context and character resolution that the manga’s rapid conclusion left largely untouched, serving as a farewell gift to the series' long-time fanbase.
The production sought to maintain the irreverent, meta-humor signature of the franchise while grounding the vignettes in the series' established emotional core. Directed by Chizuru Miyawaki, the special received positive feedback for successfully capturing the chaotic, humorous, and heartfelt spirit that had defined the anime adaptation for over a decade. By focusing on intimate character dynamics rather than high-stakes action, the special underscored the studio's deep appreciation for Hideaki Sorachi’s source material.
