In the teaser visuals, the two worlds are crossovers, with Sakata Ginpachi of “3rd grade Z Ginpachi Sensei” and Sakata Ginpachi of “Gintama”. In the PV, which is notable, it is said that the PV is “announced that the official PV will be released at Jump Festa 2025” because the video was not in time. I don’t know if it’s okay, but please look forward to the official release of the PV announced on the BLUE stage from 15:40 on Saturday, December 21st!

Staff & Cast Comments

Commentary on Tomohito Osaki, the author of the novel “Gintama 3rd Year Class Z Ginpa Sensei”

No, it’s really not possible to make it into an anime! ?
I don’t really think about the order of the students in the novel version, though! ?
I was thinking about something like that, but it seems that they made me feel good around here. Some of the anime are just like the novel version, while others are completely different.
Anyway, the staff who love “Gintama” and “Ginpachi Sensei” aimed at the interesting anime.
I tried my best to do what I could.
Please watch it! “Please don’t hit me!”

●Comment from the general director, Makoto Moriwaki

Gintama has a strong memory of reading it during the new series.
I wonder if the cover wasn’t a colored Gintama.
I felt the freshness of the picture, and when I read it, it was interesting and I continued to read it.
After more than ten years, I was very happy and motivated to be involved in “Ginpachi”.
Moreover, many people from Gintama staff, such as Mr. Takeuchi, were the general director of the character.
It was also a work that was difficult to adjust to whether it was something that could be enjoyed with Ginpachi without breaking the image of Gintama.
We hope that you will enjoy it with your fans.

●Commentary from director: Natsumi Higashida

About 1 year and 7 months after the animation was announced. A lot has happened during this time.
Is this really complete? There were times when I thought.
However, it seems that it will be possible to deliver it to everyone safely (probably).
Super peculiar students are rampaging in the narrow box of the 3rd year group Z.
Of course, that nostalgic person, that person, and that person will also appear.
It’s made to reach all the people who love “Gintama”, so please take a look!
And if possible, don’t hit it! !

– Comment from Tomokazu Sugita, who plays Ginpachi Sakata

To all of you who are waiting for Ginpachi-sensei’s anime, this will be the comment “I’m looking forward to it! Please look forward to it!” Don’t give up and listen.
When the hunger of entertainment becomes more serious, it tends to be tentatively tentatively, or rather exclusive.
Don’t underestimate someone’s fun, face it with sincerity. Thank you
