The trailer showcases the improved animation and has fans anticipating an exciting movie experience. Gintama: Yoshiwara in Flames will be released in Japan on February 13th, 2026.

What Is Ginatama: Yoshiwara in Flames About?
The anime previously covered this story in episodes 139 through 146, featuring some of the most exciting moments and battles in the series. Episode 147 continued the storyline. This new movie will retell the same story, but with improved animation and the original voice cast. The story takes Gintoki and his friends to Yoshiwara, a hidden district known for its strict rules and the difficult lives of the women who work there.
A young boy named Seita tries to steal Gintoki’s wallet, but discovers it’s already empty – and his own wallet is gone too! After Gintoki and his friends catch him, they learn he’s trying to raise money to find the woman he thinks is his mother. They decide to help him, but their good deed puts them in the crosshairs of Tsukuyo, the leader of a powerful group from the Yoshiwara district. Things go from bad to worse when Kagura’s older brother, Kamui, shows up and complicates everything.
He’s a key villain in this story arc, teaming up with the corrupt people controlling Yoshiwara to gain more power. As Gintoki battles against this corruption in the red-light district, we learn more about Seita’s ties to Yoshiwara. You can watch the anime, including the ‘Yoshiwara in Flames’ arc, on Crunchyroll and Hulu.
