Gintama Celebrates New Film with Fan Events and Exclusive Merchandise

The popular anime series Gintama is captivating fans with a new film, “新劇場版銀魂 -吉原大炎上-”, and a series of engaging events and exclusive merchandise releases. These initiatives aim to deepen the connection with the dedicated Gintama community and celebrate the series’ enduring legacy.

New Sticker Series and Fan-Voted Designs

A limited-edition sticker series, “Anime Original Art Stickers 弍,” is currently available, featuring eight unique designs distributed randomly. Illustrations include Katsura displaying striking expressions, Kondo Isami disguised as a young woman, members of the Shinsengumi gazing at the sky, and Gintoki with a bloodied but determined smile. Additional designs showcase Shinpachi supporting Kagura, an empowered Kagura, Kamui with a defiant expression, and Abuto with intense eyes. Distribution will continue only while supplies last.

Recently revealed results from the character competition, “入プレ争奪戦,” determined the designs for “super-film sticker designs.” Gintoki secured the top spot, followed by Kamui, Hijikata, Okita, and Tsukuyo. These five characters will be featured on the special stickers distributed during the event.

Interactive Event at Shinjuku Piccadilly

On March 12, 2026, an event titled “大炎上！『新劇場版銀魂 -吉原大炎上-』ツッコミ＆応援上映ツッコミ指南付き舞台挨拶” will be held at Shinjuku Piccadilly in Tokyo. Daisuke Sakaguchi (voice of Shinpachi) and Kazuhisa Nakai (voice of Hitokiri) will participate in the session.

Hijikata has encouraged attendees to actively participate, stating, “Don’t be shy with your remarks! Encourage vigorously! Don’t hesitate to bring items of support or criticism!” Though, he also emphasized the importance of respectful behavior, noting that inappropriate conduct and spoilers will not be tolerated. An advice video has also been posted online to guide participants.
