SIGN    Shinpachi Shimura
    Visits the World
[00:01] Shin
    Oh, hello. This is Shinpachi Shimura.
[00:03] Shin
    The Odd Jobs member who hasn't
    been on screen for a month.
[00:08] Shin
    In this show, I usually
    play a straight man.
SIGN    Filmed in Tokyo
[00:18] Shin
    Hey!
[00:19] Shin
    Cut it out!
[00:21] Shin
    This is supposed to be anime!
[00:22] Shin
    It's been weeks since my last appearance!
[00:23] ---
    You could at least draw me!
[00:25] Shin
    I'm easier to draw than the
    pattern on Gin-san's clothes!
[00:27] Shin
    I take less lines to draw
    than the Shinsengumi uniform!
[00:30] Shin
    When did I go from someone recognized
    by his glasses to just glasses!
[00:34] Gin
    Well, at least you aren't
    recognized by your nipples.
[00:36] Shin
    There aren't any Jump characters
    recognized by their nipples!
[00:38] Shin
    And there never will be!
[00:39] Shin
    This doesn't count as
    a live-action segment!
[00:41] Shin
    The only thing glasses and nipples
[00:42] ---
    have in common is the fact
    that they come in pairs!
[00:46] Kagura
    You finally get some screen
    time and all you do is blab.
[00:50] Shin
    That's not my fault!
[00:51] Shin
    How am I supposed to stay quiet?!
[00:53] Shin
    Hey! Hold on!
[00:54] Shin
    It's been a while, so
    let me rant some more!
SIGN    The End Glasses provided by Animate Costume Museum ACOS
[02:29] Ana
    Today will be the coldest
    day yet this winter.
[02:33] Ana
    Make sure you dress warmly
[02:36] ---
    so you don't catch a
    cold before Christmas.
[02:38] Gin
    You got it!
[02:39] Ana
    Please have a wonderful day!
[02:43] Gin
    I will!
[02:44] Kagura
    Go find work, you bum.
[02:47] Shin
    Gin-san, it's a little early for you
    to be making so much noise over there.
[02:51] Gin
    Ana Ketsuno is talking to me.
[02:53] ---
    I can't just ignore her.
[02:55] Kagura
    He's been like this ever
    since that Onmyoji mess.
[02:58] Kagura
    He thinks that Ana Ketsuno is
    talking to him through the TV.
[03:02] Kagura
    That smile is for me.
[03:04] ---
    Her words are for me.
[03:06] Kagura
    He's out of his mind.
[03:08] Shin
    Hey, you sound like a pathetic fan.
[03:11] Shin
    That's the kind of stuff stalkers say.
[03:14] Gin
    But she was looking at me.
[03:17] Gin
    What do you want me to do?
[03:18] Kagura
    Are you stupid?
[03:20] Kagura
    She's not going to fall for you
    because you helped out once.
[03:23] Kagura
    TV personalities go out
    with baseball players
[03:27] Kagura
    and have shotgun marriages
    with J Leaguers.
[03:29] Kagura
    They're brutal athletes who
    chase more balls than the players.
[03:33] Kagura
    They wouldn't be interested
    in your dirty balls.
[03:36] Gin
    Ana Ketsuno is different!
[03:38] Gin
    She's as stoic as the pit traps
    in the Road to Rhone, you idiot!
[03:45] Ana
    It's time for today's black horoscope!
[03:48] Ana
    Today's lucky sign is
[03:50] Ana
    Libra.
[03:53] Ana
    Yes, you with the curly hair, dumb face,
[03:56] ---
    and a toothbrush in your mouth.
[03:58] Gin
    H-Hey, look!
[03:59] Gin
    She's talking about me!
[04:00] Gin
    Who else could she mean?!
[04:02] Ana
    You just might receive a
    wonderful present today.
[04:05] Ana
    Something good will come.
[04:06] Gin
    P-Present?
[04:08] Gin
    Like a love, love letter?
[04:11] Ana
    And your lucky item is a bright red...
[04:15] Gin
    Bright red?
[04:18] Gedo
    Club.
[04:21] Gin
    Saber!
[04:25] Shin
    Y-You're...
[04:28] Gedo
    It's been a while, Gintoki-sama.
[04:31] Shin
    Gedomaru-san!
SIGN    Presents Are Meant To Be Given Early
SIGN    Odd Jobs Gin-chan Snack Otose
[04:39] Gin
    Uh...
[04:41] Gin
    So what?
[04:42] Gin
    You're the wonderful present?
[04:45] Gedo
    I'm not a present.
[04:47] Gedo
    I have merely returned.
[04:49] Gedo
    As I said before, the pact
    makes you my other master.
[04:55] Gedo
    I have merely come back to where I belong.
[04:58] Gedo
    Please make yourself at home.
[05:02] Gin
    Uh, that's what your master
    is supposed to say!
[05:04] Gedo
    Oh, were you having breakfast?
[05:07] Gedo
    Sorry, now it looks like
    I'm here for a free meal.
[05:12] Gedo
    Then I'll help myself.
[05:15] Gin
    That's not breakfast!
[05:16] Gin
    Why are you here?!
[05:18] Gin
    How is this a wonderful present?!
[05:20] Gin
    This is like Zombie Express.
[05:22] Kagura
    Gin-chan, who is she?
[05:24] Shin
    Huh? You don't remember her?
[05:27] Shin
    This is the shikigami Gedomaru-san.
[05:30] Shin
    You just mentioned the battle
[05:32] Shin
    between Ana Ketsuno's family, the
    Ketsuno clan, and the Shirino clan.
[05:37] Shin
    This is Ana Ketsuno's shikigami
    who fought alongside Gin-chan.
[05:40] Kagura
    Oh, she's that one girl.
[05:42] Kagura
    There was a lot happening near
    the end of the first season,
[05:46] ---
    so I forgot about her.
[05:48] Shin
    What's that?!
[05:49] Shin
    That sounds like something one of the
[05:51] ---
    staff members on this show would say!
[05:55] Kagura
    This is all I really
    remember from that arc.
[05:57] Shin
    That dumb joke?!
[05:58] Kagura
    So why is a character
    from the first season
[06:00] Kagura
    showing up around the same
    time two years later.
[06:03] Gin
    She probably tried to sneak in an
    appearance since we're busy again.
[06:08] Gin
    Nobody invited you here.
[06:09] Gin
    Pay me for the damage to the TV and scram!
[06:11] Gin
    That's an order!
[06:14] Gedo
    Then...
[06:15] Gedo
    Please sign here and then we can
SIGN    Shikigami Divorce Gedomaru Gintoki Sakata
[06:17] ---
    let our lawyers work out the details.
[06:19] Gedo
    How does two hundred million
    sound as a settlement?
[06:21] Gedo
    It's not easy for a shikigami
    who's been divorced.
[06:25] Gin
    Why are you making it sound
    like this is a marriage?!
[06:27] Gin
    Is this some kind of new scam?!
[06:29] Gedo
    That's too bad.
[06:32] Gedo
    I came here to make Christel-sama happy.
[06:35] Gedo
    Sigh, if you had cooperated,
[06:38] ---
    Christel-sama would have fallen
    head over heels for you.
[06:42] Gin
    H-Hold on!
[06:43] Gin
    What did you just say?
[06:45] Gin
    Hey! Wait up!
[06:46] Gin
    Please wait, my master!
[06:51] Gin
    Huh?
[06:52] Gin
    A Christmas present?
[06:55] Gedo
    That's right.
[06:57] Gedo
    We shikigami wish to give
    our master a present
[07:01] ---
    to show our appreciation.
[07:03] Shin
    Shikigami?! Isn't that
    the wrong religion?!
[07:06] Shin
    And aren't demons supposed
    to be anti-Christmas?!
[07:10] Kagura
    Don't bring that up, Shinpachi.
[07:13] Shin
    Huh? Really?
[07:14] Kagura
    First, you should mention how this is a
    weird time to air a Christmas episode.
[07:18] Kagura
    They should have used Valentine's
    or White Day instead.
[07:22] Shin
    You weren't supposed to say that!
[07:23] Shin
    Everybody knows that Jump and the
    anime are on different schedules!
[07:27] Shin
    We aired a Christmas episode
    in March two years ago!
[07:31] Shin
    And when the second season started,
[07:33] ---
    we aired a New Year's episode in April!
[07:35] Shin
    Anyway, enough about Christmas.
[07:38] ---
    What's the problem?
[07:40] Gedo
    As you already know, I
    am a combat shikigami.
[07:44] Gedo
    I don't know what present
    will make her happy.
[07:48] Gedo
    So...
[07:50] Gin
    I see.
[07:51] Gin
    So you wanted advice from
    the natural playboy Gin-san.
[07:56] Shin
    Gedomaru-san, he spends his time
    playing pachinko by himself.
[08:01] Gin
    Well, in that case, I'm
    willing to help you out,
[08:05] Gin
    but what do I get out of it?
[08:07] Gedo
    I'll hand your present to Christel-sama too.
[08:11] Gin
    Aha! That works!
[08:13] Gin
    Hey, I thought you were
    just a rotten joke,
[08:16] ---
    but you have a sweet side.
[08:18] Kagura
    I'm impressed. You can be cute.
[08:21] Gedo
    It's like watching Gian
    in Doraemon movies.
[08:24] Gedo
    One day of agony and
[08:26] ---
    the other 364 days of
    tyranny are forgiven.
[08:30] Shin
    She's rotten to the core!
[08:33] Shin
    Oh, well.
[08:34] Shin
    Let's get going then!
[08:36] Shin
    I'll buy something for Sis!
[08:37] Kagura
    Hey, that's no fair!
[08:39] Kagura
    Gin-chan, please buy me something!
SIGN    Santa Festival
[08:42] Kagura
    Hey, there's a Santa Festival over there!
[08:45] Shin
    I'm sure we'll find some wonderful
    presents there, Gedomaru-san!
[08:48] Shin
    What are you two doing? Hurry up!
[09:00] A
    Lombroso.
[09:15] Gedo
    What's wrong, you guys?
[09:17] Shin
    Uh, well...
[09:19] Shin
    I thought we were heading
    towards a Santa Festival?
[09:23] Shin
    I could have sworn there was a Santa
    Festival here a few seconds ago.
SIGN    Satan Festival
[09:29] Both
    Huh?
[09:30] Gedo
    Oh, you must have read the sign wrong!
[09:33] Shin
    The hell we did!
[09:34] Shin
    When did Santa turn into Satan?!
[09:37] Shin
    Where did all these evil
    creatures come from?!
[09:39] Shin
    This is like an anti-Christmas pow-wow!
[09:43] Gedo
    It appears after sensing my vast power,
[09:46] Gedo
    they broke through the barrier
    and opened the gates.
[09:49] Gedo
    We are currently standing where
    the Santa Festival is being held,
[09:53] Gedo
    but we are in a completely
    different dimension.
[09:56] Gedo
    The demon world.
SIGN    Beware of pets!
[09:57] Shin
    This show is turning into
    a different anime again!
[10:00] Gin
    Pachi-boy, check it out.
[10:02] Gin
    They mixed up Christmas and Halloween.
[10:05] Shin
    Mixed them up?!
[10:06] Shin
    They're the real deal!
SIGN    Satan Festival
[10:08] Shin
    We've ended up in a Satan Festival
    instead of a Santa Festival!
[10:11] Shin
    We don't have time to look
    for Christmas presents!
[10:14] Kagura
    Does it even matter?
[10:15] Kagura
    It's like the difference
    between Hagiwara and Ogiwara.
[10:17] Shin
    They're completely different!
[10:19] Gin
    Santa and Satan.
[10:20] Gin
    One brings dreams, the
    other brings despair.
[10:24] Gin
    They're more or less the same.
[10:25] Shin
    They're not the same!
[10:26] Shin
    If you consider them similar,
    everything's similar!
SIGN    Roast Minotaur
[10:28] Kagura
    I want some minotaur!
[10:30] Gedo
    As expected, Gintoki-sama
    does not fear any devil.
[10:34] Shin
    Don't just admire him!
[10:35] Shin
    We're in trouble!
[10:36] Shin
    We can leave, right?!
[10:38] Shin
    We're safe, right?!
[10:39] Gedo
    Actually, the foreign devils
    have been invading our turf,
[10:41] Gedo
    much like what is happening
    in the real world.
[10:44] Gedo
    Satan's getting a little cocky.
    I should teach him a lesson.
[10:48] Shin
    Stop it! That's not our style!
[10:49] Shin
    Let Jump Square handle that!
[10:52] Gedo
    You're right.
[10:53] ---
    But we might find a good present here.
[10:56] Shin
    It seems rather inconsiderate to purchase
[10:58] ---
    a Christmas present in the demon world!
[11:00] Gedo
    Darkness makes light brighter!
[11:04] Shin
    There's only darkness here!
[11:05] Shin
    Right now, our futures and your
    character are completely dark!
[11:08] Kagura
    Hey, Gedomaru. How's this?
[11:12] Kagura
    We can give it to Ana Ketsuno.
[11:13] Shin
    We're looking for a Christmas present!
[11:16] Kagura
    But it's a cross.
[11:17] Shin
    With a monster impaled on it!
[11:20] Fra
    I'm not a cross.
[11:22] Fra
    I'm Frankenfurt.
[11:24] Fra
    I keep evil spirits away.
[11:25] Shin
    What's a Frankenfurt?!
[11:27] Shin
    How can you keep evil spirits
    away when you're an evil spirit?!
[11:29] Gedo
    Mind if I test it?
[11:32] Fra
    Oh, go ahead.
[11:37] Gedo
    No good.
[11:38] Gedo
    It couldn't keep me away.
[11:40] Gedo
    Next.
[11:41] Shin
    What kind of test was that?!
[11:42] Kagura
    How about this then?
[11:44] Kagura
    Ana Ketsuno won't have any trouble
    on her demon day of the month.
[11:47] Shin
    Why?! Why would you buy
    demon goods for Christmas?!
[11:50] Shin
    And what is her demon day of the month?!
[11:52] A
    This is a hot item right now.
[11:54] A
    That demon has the smile of an angel.
[11:56] Shin
    You're a demon for trying to buy
    this as a Christmas present!
[12:01] Gedo
    Mind if I test it?
[12:03] A
    Oh, go ahead.
[12:04] Shin
    How are you going to test it?!
[12:09] Gedo
    No good.
[12:11] Gedo
    It couldn't beat the weight.
[12:13] Gedo
    Next.
[12:14] Shin
    You're missing the point!
[12:15] Gin
    Hey, Gedomaru.
[12:17] Gin
    How about this?
[12:18] Gin
    For Ana Ketsuno.
[12:21] Shin
    All that does is wash her ass!
[12:23] Gin
    No, that's not all it does.
[12:25] Shin
    That wouldn't even hit anything!
[12:27] Shin
    What happened to Christmas?!
[12:30] Gin
    She'll feel refreshed
    after washing her ass.
[12:33] Shin
    How will that bring a Merry Christmas?!
[12:34] A
    Big guy, this here is an
    acid shower toilet that can
[12:38] ---
    wash away any fucking shit.
[12:40] Shin
    Do you people think Ana
    Ketsuno has a dirty ass?
[12:43] Gedo
    That looks dangerous,
    so mind if I test it?
[12:46] Shin
    You should stop. You should
    stop, Gedomaru-san.
[12:51] Gedo
    Okay, next.
[12:52] Shin
    You didn't even test it!
[13:15] Gin
    It's not easy to find a
    present for Ana Ketsuno.
[13:20] Shin
    Uh, let's just forget about Ana Ketsuno.
[13:24] Shin
    We should also forget about Christmas.
[13:26] Shin
    We really don't have time for this.
[13:28] Gin
    You keep complaining.
[13:30] Gin
    Help us look, Pachi-boy.
[13:31] Shin
    Uh, I'm busy playing the straight man.
[13:34] Kagura
    Shinpachi, do you know what
    people who watch Gintama
[13:36] Kagura
    in countries that don't follow the
    concept of straight men say about you?
[13:40] Kagura
    Why does that glasses
    kid keep yapping away?
[13:42] Shin
    Which country is that?!
[13:44] Shin
    You people don't realize
    how important my role is!
[13:46] Kagura
    If you're mad, find a different
    way to distinguish yourself.
[13:50] Shin
    Okay, but we're stuck
    in the demon world...
[13:52] Shin
    Oh, excuse me.
[13:54] Shin
    Oops, my lips just brushed
    against someone else's lips.
[13:58] Gin
    What are you doing, Shinpachi?
[13:59] ---
    That's just merchandise.
[14:01] Kagura
    What are those? They're gross.
[14:04] Gin
    They look kind of familiar...
[14:07] Gin
    Hey, Shinpachi.
[14:16] Shin
    Pa...
[14:17] Shin
    Pandemonium-san.
[14:23] Pan
    I-It can't be...
[14:26] Shin
    Why are you here?
[14:30] Shin
    You disappeared before my eyes...
[14:36] Shin
    How can you be here?
[14:38] Pan
    Sh-Shinpachi-kun...
[14:42] Shin
    Pandemonium-san...
[14:45] Shin
    Pandemonium-san!
[14:48] Pan
    Sh-Shinpachi-kun!
[14:56] Shin
    Why?!
[14:58] Gedo
    Well, you were acting so stupid
    that I couldn't help myself.
[15:01] Shin
    I'm gonna kill you, bitch!
[15:03] Shin
    Give her back!
[15:04] Shin
    Give me back my Pandemonium-san!
[15:06] Gedo
    Um, excuse me.
SIGN    Yummy Pandemonium
[15:07] Gedo
    Can I get a Pandemonium?
[15:10] Gedo
    I'm sure that everyone's hungry.
[15:12] Shin
    You're going to eat her?!
[15:17] Shin
    She did it...
[15:19] Shin
    She ate her right before my eyes.
[15:29] Gedo
    It's not easy to find a present.
[15:33] Gedo
    I never thought that giving someone
    something was so difficult.
[15:38] Gedo
    This shows that I'm a heartless creature.
[15:41] Gedo
    It was too early for
    me to try to be human.
[15:45] Kagura
    Hey, get a hold of yourself.
[15:47] Kagura
    Aren't you trying to be a movie Gian?
[15:49] Kagura
    The point is that a heartless bastard
[15:50] ---
    like you is even bothering
    to find a present.
[15:52] Shin
    Are you trying to make
    her feel better or worse?
[15:54] Gin
    How's this sound?
[15:55] ---
    Let's try looking for something
    you want for a while.
[15:59] Gedo
    Huh?
[16:00] Gin
    You won't get anywhere wondering
    what she might like.
[16:04] Gin
    So start by thinking about what
    you would like as a present.
[16:09] Gedo
    But Christel-sama and I
    have different tastes...
[16:11] Gin
    Just choose something.
[16:22] Gedo
    Then I choose this.
[16:29] Shin
    Uh, what are we going to do, Gin-san?
[16:31] Shin
    What is that?
[16:32] Kagura
    Oh, it's a hair ornament.
[16:34] Shin
    A hair ornament?
[16:35] Shin
    More like what used to
    be under someone's hair.
[16:38] Gin
    Would you be happy if
    someone gave that to you?
[16:50] Gedo
    No, any present from Christel-sama
    would make me happy.
[16:54] Gin
    There you have it.
[16:57] Gin
    Hey, pops. I'll take
    this snappy headdress.
[16:59] Shin
    Hey, Gin-san!
[17:04] Gin
    Two of them.
[17:05] Gin
    I'm also buying one,
    so give me a discount.
[17:07] Gin
    If she doesn't like it, I'll blame you.
[17:10] Gin
    Make sure you give her
    that one so you match.
[17:16] A
    Sorry, big guy. I can't sell that to you.
[17:19] Gin
    Huh?
[17:21] A
    I don't sell anything to humans.
[17:24] A
    But I can throw together
    some cheap ornaments...
[17:28] A
    ...from your skulls!
[17:37] A
    This is brilliant!
[17:39] A
    Some humans ended up here.
[17:42] B
    Their skulls should fetch a pretty penny.
[17:44] C
    I want their arms.
[17:45] D
    I want their heads.
[17:47] E
    I want their nails!

    I'm sorry about dragging you into this.
[18:45] Gedo
    But I'm glad.
[18:48] Gedo
    Now I understand why humans give presents.
[18:56] Gedo
    I thought it would be a chore,
    but it wasn't too bad.
[19:01] Gedo
    Next time, I'll choose my present myself
[19:05] Gedo
    since I now know that it's
    meaningless otherwise.
[19:10] Gedo
    Gintoki-sama, I was the one who received
[19:14] ---
    a wonderful present today.
