Two new announcements were made during the Gintama Multiverse Festival, which was being held in Tokyo earlier today. The first was that a new Gintama anime film is currently in production, titled Gintama The Movie: Yoshiwara in Flames, which is scheduled to be released in 2026.
According to Oricon, voice actors Tomokazu Sugita, Daisuke Sakaguchi, Rie Kugimiya, Susumu Chiba, Kazuya Nakai, Kenichi Suzumura, Tetsuharu Ota, and Mikako Takahashi made an appearance at the festival, to celebrate the film announcement alongside fans. The film’s story takes place in the underground red-light district of Yoshiwara, ruled by the fearsome “Night King (JP: 夜王, Ya oh)” Hosen. The teaser image above this paragraph was drawn by Gintama Creator Hideaki Sorachi.
