Officially titled “Gintama 2 Rules are Made to be Broken”, the movie hits Japanese cinemas on 17th August 2018! Shun Oguri, Masaki Suda, and Kanna Hashimoto reprise their roles from the first film as Gintoki Sakata, Shinpachi Shimura, and Kagura — employees of the jack-of-all-trades agency Yorozuya.
