It revisits one of Gintama&#8217;s most iconic story arcs \u2014 covering events from <strong>episodes 139\u2013146<\/strong> of the original anime \u2014 in a brand-new cinematic presentation with a widescreen cinemascope format (2.35:1).<\/p>\n<p>The Yoshiwara in Flames arc follows Gintoki and his unlikely band of allies as they storm the red-light district of Yoshiwara to rescue Seita and confront the fearsome Housen, ruler of the underground city. It is widely regarded as one of the series&#8217; greatest action arcs, blending intense combat with emotionally charged storytelling.<\/p>\n<h2>What&#8217;s New This Time Around<\/h2>\n<p>The film is not just a HD upscale \u2014 it is a ground-up reanimate with added story material. New characters and original storylines have been woven into the narrative, including <strong>Enkaku<\/strong>, a brand-new character voiced by <strong>Kappei Yamaguchi<\/strong>. Familiar faces like the <strong>Shinsengumi<\/strong> and <strong>Katsura Kotarou<\/strong> also make appearances in the arc for the first time, expanding the scope of what was originally shown.<\/p>\n<p>Gintama creator <strong>Hideaki Sorachi<\/strong> commented on the production: <em>&#8220;Thanks to everyone&#8217;s support, Gintama has once again been adapted into anime, and now another movie is being produced.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/gintama-yoshiwara-in-flames-visual.png?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Gintama: Yoshiwara in Flames 2026 announcement visual\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of BN Pictures \/ Shueisha<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>How It Performed in Japan<\/h2>\n<p>The film premiered in Japan on <strong>13 February 2026<\/strong>, debuting at <strong>#2 at the box office<\/strong> and selling <strong>262,700 tickets<\/strong> in its opening weekend alone \u2014 earning over <strong>\u00a5405 million<\/strong> (approximately US$2.64 million) in just three days. It currently holds an impressive <strong>8.7 on IMDb<\/strong>, making it one of the better-reviewed anime theatrical releases of the year.<\/p>\n<h2>Where and When to Watch in Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>Odex is bringing the film to <strong>Golden Village (GV) multiplex cinemas<\/strong> in Singapore starting <strong>6 June 2026<\/strong>.
