Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura return as the fun-loving yet broke members of the Yorozuya team! Set in an alternate-reality Edo, where swords are banned and alien overlords have conquered Japan, they attempt to survive by taking on whatever odd jobs they can find. However, Shinpachi and Kagura still haven't received their pay... Does Gin-chan really spend all that money playing pachinko? Meanwhile, when Gintoki drunkenly staggers home one night, an alien spaceship crashes nearby. A fatally injured crew member emerges from the ship and gives Gintoki a strange, clock-shaped device, warning him that it is incredibly powerful and must be safeguarded. Mistaking it for his alarm clock, Gintoki proceeds to smash the device the next morning and suddenly discovers that the world outside his apartment has come to a standstill. With Kagura and Shinpachi at his side, he sets off to get the device fixed; though, as usual, nothing is ever that simple for the Yorozuya team. Filled with tongue-in-cheek humor and moments of heartfelt emotion, Gintama's fourth season finds Gintoki and his friends facing both their most hilarious misadventures and most dangerous crises yet.
