Synopsis:

The Yorozuya faces an unusual challenge with the arrival of Kintoki, a striking doppelganger of Gintoki. Stripped of his memories, Gintoki must navigate a world where he is largely forgotten, struggling to reclaim his place as the team's leader. This premise explores themes of identity and belonging within a familiar, yet subtly altered, setting.

Alongside this central conflict, the Yorozuya takes on a request from Yoshiwara, a district steeped in history and lingering sorrow. Their mission involves assisting an elderly courtesan in finding a lost love, leading them to uncover poignant stories of devotion and loss that resonate through the district's past. The series blends episodic narratives with character-driven moments, examining the enduring power of connection amidst hardship and memory.
