Long ago, this nation was known as the land of the samurai. The dream-filled Edo skies, upon which the samurai once gazed, are now filled with the ships of the Amanto, beings that suddenly invaded and rose to power. And now these arrogant aliens walk the streets of the city. The samurai have lost their swords, status, and even their honor… In this city former samurai Gintoki Sakata runs the Odd Jobs business. One day he receives a visit from a client named Katoken. To regain something he has lost, Katoken needs 30 million ryo—a lot of money.

Gintoki manage to escape Shishimura’s sudden attack. Regrouping with Kagura and the others, he finds that their client Katoken was unable to stick with the training and has left.

One day as Gintoki and Shinpachi ride double on their scooter, a girl suddenly jumps in front of them. Unable to stop, Gintoki runs over the girl. Gintoki rushes the injured and unconscious girl toward the hospital, when suddenly a black car blocks the way and opens fire. While Gintoki and Shinpachi panic, the girl regains consciousness and blocks the bullets and wipes out the attackers with her built-in gun umbrella. There’s a reason the yakuza are after her, and Shinpachi decides to help the girl escape. However…

The staff of Odd Jobs Gin is going about their usual daily bickering when a delivery scooter crashes into the Otose Snack House downstairs. Barely conscious, the postman begs the Odd Jobs Trio to deliver an important package in his place. Gintoki and the others reluctantly head to the address on the package, Embassy of Inui, the Dog Star system. But the package explodes, and the trio are mistaken as terrorists. The three attempt a hasty escape, but when Shinpachi is caught, he decides to take Gintoki and Kagura down with him, and the gatekeepers quickly corner the three. Just when everybody thinks they are done for, they are saved by Gintoki’s old acquaintance Kotaro Katsura, aka Zura. Secretly observing the whole incident, the government’s police force, the Shinsengumi, decides to make their move…

Although their actions result in saving everyone from Katsura’s bomb, Gintoki and the group are nonetheless held for police questioning.
