The upcoming Gintama film has unveiled its first trailer footage, poster visual, and theme song details for the all new theatrical anime Shin Gintama The Movie Yoshihara in Flames, set to open in Japan on February 13, 2026.

The newly released main trailer and poster for Shin Gintama The Movie Yoshihara in Flames showcase the intense atmosphere of Yoshihara, an underground red light district shrouded in eternal night. The theme song has been confirmed as Sanzen, a brand new track written specifically for the film by SUPER BEAVER. In addition, original creator Hideaki Sorachi has been appointed as the films Super Advisor Gorilla.

In the footage, Gintoki Sakata remarks that the city seems to fear sunlight, setting the tone for the story set in a sunless city driven by desire. The trailer introduces key figures including Hinowa, the oiran who reigns at the top of Yoshihara, Seita, a young boy who believes Hinowa is his mother, and Tsukuyo, the guardian of Yoshihara. The story escalates with fierce battles against Kamui, Kaguras brother, Abuto, and the Night King Hosen, who dominates Yoshihara with overwhelming strength, wealth, and power as one of the most formidable members of the Yato clan.

As Gintoki shouts that the fun party is about to begin, SUPER BEAVER’s Sanzen plays over vivid scenes of Yoshihara engulfed in flames. The trailer highlights nonstop action sequences including Shinpachi and Kagura confronting Abuto, as well as appearances by characters who did not feature in this arc in the original manga, such as Kotaro Katsura. Members of the Shinsengumi, including Isao Kondo, Toshiro Hijikata, Sogo Okita, and Sagaru Yamazaki, also make their appearance.

The theatrical poster carries the tagline Cut Through the Darkness and depicts Gintoki, Shinpachi, and Kagura wielding wooden swords against the backdrop of a burning Yoshihara. Behind them loom Hosen, Kamui, and Abuto, all wearing confident smiles. The image also features the Shinsengumi members and the striking visual of Elizabeth dressed as an oiran, creating a powerful and dynamic composition.

In addition, it has been announced that Gintama The Final, the highest grossing film in the series released in 2021, will receive its first terrestrial television broadcast on TV Tokyo and affiliated networks starting at 12:45 AM on January 2, 2026.
