Gintama: Yoshiwara in Flames

Watch Gintama: Yoshiwara in Flames (2026) online on iFILM — a new theatrical anime directed by Naoya Ando, based on Hideaki Sorachi's long-running Shonen Jump manga. Tomokazu Sugita and Rie Kugimiya return as Gintoki and Kagura.

A young pickpocket named Haruta is stealing to survive — his real goal is finding his mother Hiwa, Yoshiwara's most celebrated courtesan. Gintoki and his crew head into the red-light district to make it happen. Waiting for them is Housen, the Night King, who controls Yoshiwara and won't give Hiwa up without a fight. The Yoshiwara arc was the franchise's first genuinely dark chapter; the comedy is still there, but the grief underneath it hits differently. Stream Gintama: Yoshiwara in Flames online on iFILM.
