I received this item from a friend after cleaning their house and am now selling it. This is a "rental discard" copy of the theatrical version of "Gintama: Benizakura Arc." I have confirmed that the DVD plays. ＜Story＞ In the late Edo period, it wasn't black ships that invaded the town of Edo, but spaceships. The shogunate was helpless against the Amanto, the strongest invaders from space. However, there were samurai who grieved for the country and continued to fight fearlessly despite being overwhelmingly outmatched. Kotaro Katsura, Shinsuke Takasugi, and Gintoki Sakata, a samurai feared by the alias "Shiroyasha." But after years of fierce fighting, they lost their friends, their master, and were defeated, losing their "country." Gintoki, who survived, runs a Yorozuya (odd jobs shop), Katsura goes into hiding and continues his abdication activities, and Takasugi plots to destroy the shogunate and the Amanto's control. Furthermore, Takasugi turns his blade towards Gintoki and Katsura. One day, a swordsman appears in the town of Edo, and Katsura disappears by his deadly blade. The man possesses the living, pulsating youto "Benizakura"... a demonic weapon with artificial intelligence that parasitizes the user, accumulating and evolving combat data. Takasugi revives the strongest combat group, the Kiheitai, and begins to move with "Benizakura." Gintoki, Kagura, and Shinpachi, the Yorozuya members, begin to move at the request of Katsura's partner, Elizabeth. What will happen to Katsura? And will the fateful showdown between Gintoki and his former ally, Takasugi, come to an end!? Director: Shinji Takamatsu Starring: Takehito Koyasu, Tomokazu Sugita, Akira Ishida, Rie Kugimiya, Daisuke Sakaguchi
