Gintama: The Movie 2: The Final Chapter: Be Forever Yorozuya

In the realm of Edo, time was distorted, and the fabric of reality had been torn apart. A world where the Shiroyasha - the revered and powerful lord who unified the land under his benevolent rule - never existed had unleashed a chain reaction of chaos. Without the Shiroyasha's presence, the Yorozuya, a legendary odd jobs service run by Sakata Gintoki, had never been. The once proud and feared warriors of the Shinigami or Shinsengumi had been reduced to nothing more than legends. In this new reality, Gintoki found himself in a state of limbo - a ghost of the past. A spectral presence, wandering the streets of Edo, with no memories of how he had gotten there or why. His mind was a blank slate, devoid of any knowledge of his past life or the friends he once knew. His only solace was the faint recollections of his life in the now-lost era, a constant reminder of what he once was and what he had yet to lose. As Gintoki navigated through the unfamiliar streets, he was unaware of the drastic changes that had taken place. His friends, the ones he once fought and laughed with, had never been. He had no knowledge of the bond they shared or the countless memories they created together. The Yorozuya, once a symbol of hope and courage, had never taken shape. But, as Gintoki's existence continued to fade away, a glimmer of hope flickered within him. A determination ignited - to uncover the truth behind his circumstances and find the reason for his predicament. His quest led him to a mysterious being, who claimed to possess knowledge of the past. This enigmatic figure, known only as 'Ame', revealed to Gintoki that there existed a realm where the memories of the Yorozuya lived on, a reality where his past and present converged. Ame took Gintoki to this realm, where he encountered fragments of his past self, including Katsura and Shinpachi. In this strange new world, he met alternate versions of himself and his friends, each carrying the burden of their past. Gintoki soon realized that the alternate versions of him were struggling to hold onto their memories, and it was up to him to help them. However, there existed a rival faction, a group of individuals known as the 'Anti-Yorozuya', who sought to eradicate the memories of the Yorozuya, erasing any hint of their existence. They believed that the Yorozuya's legacy was a threat to the new order of Edo, a constant reminder of a bygone era that had left its mark. As Gintoki navigated this alternate reality, he encountered a figure known as the 'Last Client', who had the power to bring about the greatest of changes. This enigmatic individual possessed a unique connection to the Yorozuya's memories and had been instrumental in shaping Gintoki's existence. To save his friends, Gintoki was tasked with retrieving the memories of the Yorozuya, preserving them for the sake of their future selves. This perilous quest required Gintoki to confront his own mortality, re-examining his past and re-evaluating his present. As he carried out the task, he forged new bonds, reconnecting with his past self in unexpected ways. Ultimately, Gintoki's journey brought him to face off against the mastermind behind the chaos - a figure who threatened the very fabric of reality. In a climactic showdown, Gintoki's determination and unwavering spirit clashed with the dark forces that aimed to eradicate his legacy. Throughout the epic battle, fragments of the Yorozuya's memories resurfaced, and for a moment, Gintoki saw the world in all its glory - his world. He envisioned himself as the leader of the Yorozuya, surrounded by his friends, all working together to shape a brighter future. In that fleeting moment, Gintoki knew that, no matter what the outcome might be, he had truly lived, leaving an indelible mark on the world he had once known and lost. In the end, Gintoki succeeded in his mission, restoring the memories of the Yorozuya, and, in doing so, gave them a chance to start anew. Gintoki, however, chose to remain in the realm of memories, choosing to live on forever, bound to his friends and the legacy of the Yorozuya. Though the fate of the world had changed, one thing was certain: the memories of the Yorozuya would live on, a testament to the power of friendship and the unwavering spirit of Sakata Gintoki. As the curtain closed, a faint glow enveloped the world of Edo, hinting at the dawn of a new era, one in which the Yorozuya would rise once more, armed with the memories of their past. Gintoki's spirit remained eternal, an unwavering guardian of the Yorozuya's legacy, forever holding on to the memories of his beloved friends, the ones he had once fought and laughed with, and the ones he would eternally fight for.
