Shiyue But Revamped/Synopsis

==Tropia Arc==
She comes into contact with another person from her home planet; the main character. She gets the shit beaten out of her and refuses to listen to reason, endlessly antagonizing the main character. The Odd Jobs decide the only way to fix this is to have her fill a different trope - they convert her to a shounen main character, whose goal in life is to be the Pirate King, dattebayo.
==Present Life==
Shiyue shyly wanders the streets of Edo, garnering massive amounts of attention, sparkling flowers blossoming around her to serve as a backdrop. She is escorted into a casino by a strange pair and Gintoki, playing pachinko, notices. He beats them up, saying they’re disturbing his game, when he asks her how she shrunk so much. Shiyue clings onto him and says she can’t remember anything past a week ago and asks if he will let her stay with him. He tries desperately to shake her off but eventually gives in.
Afterwards, they add Kagura into their trio, transforming into a squad. A few weeks afterwards, they meet Zura, who recognizes Shiyue just as Gintoki did. He calls her Ris and asks what shady dealings she got herself into to turn back into a toddler. Laughing, he says all they need is Sakamoto and Shinsuke. She calls him her mother and Gintoki scolds Katsura, saying she’s lost her memories. They part and keep in contact, Katsura calling her his son.
Gintoki, Kagura, Shiyue, and Shinpachi are being interrogated by the police after the incident. Shinpachi goes home while Gin and Kagura vent their anger at the cops by urinating and vomiting respectively, Shiyue trying to copy them to fit in. An escaped convict takes Shiyue hostage, and she sheds crystalline tear. He forces Gintoki and Kagura into his car and go to Terakado Tsuu’s first live concert. Gin gets angry at the man for wasting his free day on meaningless pleasures like going to a pop idol's concert. Gin tries to leave but he notices Shinpachi who reveals that he is the president of the Otsu fan club. The criminal is revealed to be Otsu's father.
A few days later, Prince Hata, the prince of an alien kingdom, is missing his pet, and requests the Odd Jobs to find it. After some difficulty, they do, and meet Madao. The next day, Shinpachi and Otae tell Gin, Shiyue, and Kagura of Kondo's stalking. Shinpachi convinces Gin to help and Shiyue calls out Kondo who is hiding under a table. Kondo asks Gin what his relationship with Otae is and Otae tells him they are engaged. Kondo challenges Gin to a duel with Otae as the grand prize. Gintoki wins with an underhanded trick, and Shiyue, Shinpachi, and Kagura beat him up because of his lack of samurai spirit.
At Odd Jobs, the quartet is fighting to not be given carpenter work. They decide to solve this matter with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. In the first round, Kagura hits Gintoki in the face saying that the early hand wins. Gintoki is ready to respond by drawing his wooden sword, but Shinpachi yells to them to follow the rules of the game. In the second round, the game ends with a tie, despite Gintoki's attempt to fool the other three. In the third and final round, Shinpachi chooses Rock, Kagura makes a Hand Shadow Crab, Shiyue makes a gun, and Gintoki places five small dolls on his fingers pretending them to be a family. Shinpachi is infuriated for not following the rules and the other three insist that he lost. Having lost his patience, the customer decides that Gintoki is the winner, but, much to everyone's surprise, he says that the spoils go to the victor, meaning Gintoki will have to do the labour work.
While watching the news about Prince Hata returning to Earth, Shinpachi comments on how he's stupid. He asks Gin and Shiyue for their opinions, but Shiyue is busy painting a horrific, nightmare-inducing drawing that she insists is a self-portrait whilst Gintoki sleeps. Kagura returns home from errands with a large white dog in tow and Gintoki refuses to let it stay, spending the whole day trying to get rid of it. However, he reluctantly decides to keep it at the end of the day.
Shinpachi, with a broken leg, is staying in the hospital. They meet an old man on his deathbed who enlists the Odd Jobs in finding the owner of a hairpin, a woman he fell in love with fifty years ago. The woman is revealed to be Otose, and he is able to meet her in his last moments. Afterwards, Shiyue accidentally falls on Shinpachi's leg, hurting it even more, but it is revealed that she has somehow healed it, making it feel even better than new. He questions her about it but she has no answers.
Otose hires a cat-eared Amanto named Catherine amidst news that there have been many robberies in the area lately. Catherine has stolen all of Otose's savings and the Odd Jobs chase her down, successfully putting her in jail.
===Harusame===
The Odd Jobs were asked by a client to find his missing daughter, Kimiko. During the search, they eventually found their way into a shady night club filled with amanto. While Gintoki is in the bathroom because of his hangover, Shiyue passes time by preaching about why JoJo Part Two is the only part you can skip because Joseph sucks at the head of the club whilst mimicking Buddha, earning a lecture from Shinpachi. Kagura drags her to sit by the bar and tells her how the bartender informed them of a drug called ‘Paradise’. Kagura and Shinpachi were noticed by the Harusame and immediately captured by them as they suspected they were of the Anti-foreigner Faction.
Shiyue was infamous in the Harusame for being the prized crown jewel of it and a former higher-up, also being the apple of some of the most important people in the seventh division’s eyes, but suddenly disappeared. She, too, is captured, and when brought to the Harusame’s ship, and after a few hours, a higher ranking member joins and recognizes her as being the previous Shiyue. Alarmed, he shakes her awake, confirming his suspicions. Just as he is about to inform the higher-ups, Gintoki and Katsura, disguised as "space captains", attack the Harusame's ship. The member manages to inform the higher-ups at the last second. Gintoki carries his three companions home after the mess is cleared.
Days later, at Odd Jobs, the gang has a discussion about pets, when they see a commercial in the TV about a competition for the cutest and strangest pet in Edo. They decide to enter the competition with Sadaharu and plan to get the money prize to pay off their rent. Before they leave, they notice that Otose has re-hired Catherine, who was recently released from jail. Katsura visits them at the park and they inform him of the competition for the strangest and cutest pet. The day of the show has arrived and the Odd Jobs are in the live broadcast. However, Katsura enters the competition as well with Elizabeth. The show production staff decide to have two rounds for the best pet to win - in the first round, the pets have to successfully complete all the tricks their masters tell them to. Sadaharu, as usual, goes into a frenzy and bites Shiyue and Shinpachi, while Elizabeth draws a stunning painting, thus winning the first round. The second and final round, which will decide the winner, is a race. They will throw a bone and the first pet to get it back will win. When the race begins, Sadaharu goes after Gin instead of the bone, so Kagura uses Gin as a bait and throws him towards the bone. Gin lands on Elizabeth and tries to hold her from getting first to the bone. Katsura and Sadaharu catch up to them and they have a big fight. At the end, something comes out of Elizabeth's mouth, resembling a human, much to everyone's surprise, and especially to Katsura's. The broadcast is immediately cut.
===Gengai===
To help some neighbors stop a noisy inventor, Hiraga Gengai, Odd Jobs have Shinpachi sing in front of his house. After a while, one of the inventor's robots, Saburo, comes out, and the group meets Gengai. They manage to get inside his garage and move Gengai's inventions to the riverbank to ensure that they will no longer disturb the neighbors, but break the robots in the process. Since Gengai needed to prepare the robots for the festival that night, the Odd Jobs are forced to help him fix them. Shiyue works tirelessly over simply doing nothing.
During the festival, Shiyue enjoys herself with a crowd of children she’s attracted. A hooded individual suddenly grabs her and yanks her out of the crowd into an alleyway, in which they calmly state that Shiyue is “really her”. They pat her on the head and tell her they’ll be back for her later, only coming to check on her whilst they had time, before disappearing by jumping off rooftops agilely. Shiyue, confused, brushes it off and returns to the festivities, noticing that robots have encircled the festival’s area. Most of her followers flip out and Shiyue takes matters into her own hands by giving the robots a heartfelt speech, telling them that she knows this isn't the real them, and get's knocked out in the process.
It's a hot day in Edo and Hasegawa meets with Gintoki in the streets after both of them losing their money on bets. After noticing some coins falling to the ground they make a desperate effort to get them but they crush their heads to the wall. While they are trying to cool off with a snack, they overhear a couple talking about a dangerous alien seen in the beach that has been terrorizing the citizens thus making swimming dangerous. They also learn that someone has offered a huge bounty to get rid of the alien. They get the rest of the Yorozuya before making their way towards the beach, but Otae wants to go to the sea as well, so she sticks with them. Because they don't have enough money to rent a car, they decide to hitchhike. Otae kicks Shinpachi, Gin, Hasegawa and Sadaharu to the road to force a car to stop, so they all enter the car and head for the beach without even asking the owner. The car doesn't have enough space and soon everything turns into chaos with Sadaharu urinating in the car and everyone asking for different stuff. As a result, the car hits the wall and the gang continues on foot. The sun is hot blazing making most of them to dehydrate. On the verge of collapsing they are saved at the last moment when Otae spots the sea a little further away. They find a small cabin in the beach and a man cooking noodles. It turns out the man spreaded the bounty rumour as a joke, because he wanted to save his business and thought that no one will come. The only reward he has are some T-shirts, so the gang ties him on a cross and place him in the sea as a bait for the alien monster. Otae communicates with the  and they agree to give them a prize if they manage to get rid of the alien. Kagura is jealous of Shinpachi and Gin seeing them swimming, because she can't swim herself as her skin is too sensitive in the sun being from the Yato clan. She is ready to throw a huge boulder on them to end their happiness with Hasegawa trying to warn the others to get out of the way. At that moment he spots the huge alien swimming towards them. Gin and Shinpachi swim as fast as they can. Kagura tries to hit the alien with the huge boulder, but Hasegawa is stuck on the boulder and is thrown as well in the sea. In addition to that, the boulder hits Gin and Shinpachi. Hasegawa recovers to find himself in face with the huge alien, but he finds out that the monster only wanted to have a good time and play with humans. Hasegawa is seen once more with Gin back in Edo reading in the newspaper that the beach has now turned in a water park with people playing on the alien's back.
===Rengokukan===
Sougo Okita offers a job to the Odd Jobs by having them track down Kidomaru, the champion of Rengokukan, an underground fight club. They succeed in finding Kidomaru but realize that he secretly raises dozens of orphaned children. He no longer wishes to fight and tries to escape with the children. As Rengokukan is actually secretly run by Tendoushuu, Kidomaru is killed by the new Rengokukan champion, Onijishi, as he is escaping with the children. After this, the children ask Odd Hobs to avenge their warden's murder as they offer to give away all their toys as payment. They and Okita agree to help and arrive at the scene with masks on their faces, Shiyue wearing a Peking Opera mask with the design of a lucky cat. She joins the fight with the Rengokukan and is later joined by Hijikata and the Shinsengumi.

===Memory Loss===
Shiyue, Kagura, and Shinpachi drag an amnesia-stricken Gintoki around town. They try to restore Gintoki’s memory, almost succeeding a few times, but always return back to their starting point through outside interference. They meet various characters such as Otose, Catherine, Katsura, Sachan, Otae, and Kondou. When their office becomes a crash landing pad for Sakamoto Tatsuma's spaceship, Gintoki encourages them to live on without him and disband Odd Jobs. Despite their attempts to reason with him, Gintoki leaves them behind.
Shinpachi and Shiyue head to Odd Jobs and find Kagura there waiting for Gintoki to come home. Shinpachi feels that Gintoki's memory tree has withered and their existence is like a small branch of the tree, not being able to rustle Gintoki's memories, but Kagura believes that even if she is just one branch in his memory tree, she will still cling and believe in him. The pair then join her and wait together for Gintoki's return. With a tip from Otose, they learn of a "silver-haired worker" in the Justaway factory. They arrive just in time to protect Gintoki from harm along with the Shinsengumi, only to trigger his memories. After Gintoki destroys the cannon that is threatening Edo, Gintoki walks away telling them that "we are going home".
===Umibozu Arc===
Shiyue, Shinpachi, and Gintoki arrive at the bank to retrieve Kagura while she is attacked by an alien. Shiyue is kabedonned by the alien and blushes, when Umibouzu appears and saves them altogether. As Gintoki plans to let Kagura leave with her father, Shiyue is left conflicted, as she feels it’d be better for her to be with father, but Kagura had grown to become somewhat of an older sister for her. She tells Kagura to do what she wants and not have others dictate her actions for her.
As Kagura waits with her father in the terminal, she sees Shinpachi outside yelling, asking her not to leave, bringing her to tears. Shiyue stands besides him, still conflicted, shouting that she doesn’t have to if she doesn’t want to, but if she does, she should stay. However, the alien attacks again and Kagura is injured trying to protect Prince Hata and Jii. She is almost absorbed by the alien, and eventually, Shiyue comes to save her, defeating the alien. After the defeat of the alien, Kagura is given a choice to stay or leave. Shinpachi and Shiyue overhear the discussion between Umibouzu and Gintoki, both relieved she’ll stay.
===Go-Ninja Arc===
Katsura approaches Odd Jobs as Elizabeth has gone missing. They enlist the help of Sarutobi to train them into ninjas for the job. Shiyue fails Sarutobi's task as she is immediately noticed due to her blinding aura and the bystanders avert their gazes from her blinding face. After the training, she is dressed as the green ninja. They arrive at the magistrate's mansion and create chaos. After passing various traps, they eventually reach the "final" room, where a trap has been prepared for them by the Shinobi 5, whose members are all former Oniwabanshu. The ninja’s attack and Shiyue, unlike her friends, attacks with bread sandwiches coated in rotten egg mixture as she has a strong distaste for curry. She is attacked with curry and momentarily distracts everyone with the flowers usually blooming around her dying as she faints.
===Imperial Palace Arc===
Shiyue
===Inugami Arc===
A lethargic Gintoki returns home requesting some strawberry milk, but neither Shinpachi, Shiyue, or Kagura are anywhere in sight. Managing to drag himself across the floor to the next room, Gintoki is greeted by an even bigger sized Sadaharu with Shinpachi, Shiyue, and Kagura in his mouth. Shiyue, smiling with blood pouring down her face, comments that she felt something in her head crack, earning an alarming reaction from Shinpachi before she faints.
Shiyue awakens the next day when Sadaharu transforms into his inugami form, with Gintoki and Shinpachi swarmed by the media. Catherine tries to speak on their behalf but Shinpachi strangles her as the cameras roll on. Shiyue stumbles out, and with her clumsy shoujo wiles, trips and suffocates a news anchor after viewing Shinpachi strangling Catherine. Gintoki frantically tries to stop her when the media are then put into a deep slumber by Ane and Mone's musical duet and are accompanied by Komako who fawns over Gintoki. The sisters arrive at the scene and introduce themselves. they also inform the two that they're the ones responsible for leaving Sadaharu in their care.
They then follow Ane and Mone while Ane gives an explanation about how they have to guard inugami, having Shiyue clearly knit her brows and look confused. Shinpachi asks her what’s wrong and she says she’s fine but looks obviously disturbed for the rest of the scene. The priestesses reveal that the cause of Sadaharu's inugami transformation is due to strawberry milk. this news flabbergasts Gintoki and Shinpachi, as Kagura tries to calm inugami Sadaharu with promises of said milk. Inugami sadaharu then targets Shinpachi but is stopped by Shiyue with her dual fans and pushes him away. He charges again, this time Gintoki taking the lead. He gets his mouth stuck at the end of Mone's flute, whose mouth is stuck on the opposite side. The group is then chased by inugami Sadaharu and Shiyue cuts the flute in half with a swift swing of her fan.
As they're all then chased into edo dome, Ane and Mone begin the purification spell that'll revert Sadaharu back to normal. The ball is first passed to Shinpachi and Ane explains if the ball lands on the ground, it'll lose its power. Shinpachi still manages to catch it and then passes it to Mone who is knocked unconscious by the ball. Shiyue manages to catch it in time and then tries to pass it to Kagura. However, Shinpachi inadvertently intervenes. Kagura then kicks the balls over to Gintoki who hits it with his sword to Ane, whom, with Kagura acting as a cushion, catches it forming a 5 pointed star. The spell activates and reverts Sadaharu back to normal.
==Season 2==
===Infant Strife===
Gintoki introduces the infant he stumbled upon to Snack Otose and Shiyue profusely apologizes for never noticing his pregnancy earlier. She says that if she’d known, she definitely would’ve been there to support him, earning some good yells from him. Shiyue holds the baby and comments on how he might be hungry and prepares a knife, ready to slit her arm to feed him with her blood, her face entirely blank and grave. Shinpachi restrains her and explains that babies are fed with milk and Shiyue cocks her head, saying that her (imaginary) mother did the same to her. silence ensues for a while before otose asks what its name is.
Otose names him Kintoki, Shinpachi names him Mantoki, Shiyue offers Kogan, Kagura goes with Ginraku, and Catherine calls him “that idiot Sakata”. Gintoki then takes the baby and runs off, and the other three begin to follow him when an old man shows up. He attacks them and pushes them into the same room as Hashida Kahei and Ofusa. As his men get ready to attack them, they escape with a smoke bomb. They try to fight off the lackeys chasing after them. Shiyue, unknowingly, sends out a wave of life energy towards them when she turns back. The influx of life energy causes their thought processes to greatly accelerate and perceive everything to move slowly, creating an out-of-body experience. When they successfully get away, the mother thanks the Odd Jobs after everything is resolved.
===Mother Arc===
When Shiyue arrives at Odd Jobs from the imperial palace where she resides in, a strange woman ushers her in hurriedly after gaping at her face and sits her down, forcing her to eat mountainous amounts of healthy food to “maintain her beauty”. When she leaves to take out the trash, the group wonders who she is and they all deny that she's their mother. The woman returns and chastises them for talking while chewing and to chew properly.
Once the mother returns, she informs the Odd Jobs that she's looking for her son, Hachiro, who came to edo 5 years ago. Once their payment is settled, the Odd Jobs and the woman visit Otose and Catherine for any leads. The two, however, give none, and thus the group scour Edo, inquiring people if they've seen Hachiro anywhere. This too turns out to be a failed effort. Shiyue has an epiphany and suggests that he threw away his former life to be a famous drag queen and live life with his army of gigolo’s, to which Shinpachi chastises her. Gintoki calms Shinpachi down and says she may be on the right track, suggesting that Hachiro could have undergone plastic surgery. Odd Jobs then draw a plausible appearance he could have taken on the photo of Hachiro. The resulting picture looks ridiculous, but they spot a man that greatly resembles the picture they drew with the name Hachiro. The mother is busy arguing with a group of gyaru.
While Shinpachi and Kagura go after Hachiro, Gintoki and Shiyue deal with the woman's problem. The woman's situation escalates when a couple of men associated with the gyaru ladies try and harm her. Shiyue begins doing interpretative dance to calm the situation down, earning a smack from Gintoki, but it surprisingly works, soothing the souls of the people. Hachiro beats up one of the men named Kankichi. Kyoushirou, the owner of a popular male host club, apologizes for his employee Kankichi's behavior and brings them to his host club Takamagahara.
At the club, Kagura is pampered by the host club attendees, while Shiyue ties her hair in a messy bun and mulls about being too plain for the men, ranting about her green orbs. When she is approached, she plainly tells them that she'll have them commit sepuku if they come near her as she is 12. The woman tries to goad Shiyue into leaving to continue searching for her son. Kyoushirou then appears and starts to talk with Shinpachi about his relationship with Hachiro. It's at that moment a man by the name of Kurogoma Katsuo arrives and subdues Hachiro. Odd Jobs disappear and then reappear to intervene, now dressed as hosts.
Shiyue wears a long hanfu and has taken her hair out of the elaborate hairstyle, instead leaving it long and flowing. She has removed her huadian and wears platform shoes, making her 5’7”. Odd Jobs introduce themselves to katsuo and Shiyue remarks how she, a woman, looks more handsome than he, agitating him until the gangster learns that his beloved dog has given birth. Hachirou thanks Gintoki for his help but Gintoki doesn't think much of it. It's then learned that the old woman has gone missing. Elsewhere, Odd Jobs along with Hachiro scour the streets of Edo in search of the old lady but have no luck in finding her. After an abrasive argument between Hachiro and Shiyue, it's revealed that Kyoushirou is the true son. Afterward, the woman pays the Odd Jobs group with a batch of pumpkins.
===Benizakura Arc===
Elizabeth arrives at the Odd Jobs and, perplexed by elizabeth's appearance there, they offer him tea and coffee but neither interests him. Gintoki then receives a phone call and abruptly leaves much to the dismay of Shinpachi. Shiyue, finally, grabs a knife and once again tries to cut her arm, explaining that perhaps Elizabeth feeds off blood. She is chastised by Shinpachi and told to never enact such things again, so she serves Elizabeth strawberry milk, saying it’s the closest thing they have to blood in their home, also causing him to cry. He leads them to the scene of where Katsura was sliced open by Nizou and shows them a bloody accouterment left behind by Katsura. Elizabeth believes that Katsura may have been a victim of the Tsujigiri that have been occurring as of late. Shiyue and Kagura along with Sadaharu try and track the scent left by the bloody accouterment, but before Shiyue leaves, she reassures Elizabeth that she knows for sure Katsura is alive and that she can feel him.
Sadaharu leaves to give Gintoki a map of where Katsura was last at and the two girls go aboard a ship, wandering about, with Shiyue going the opposite direction. She searches for a few minutes before being discovered by Takasugi’s crew and easily defeats them all with her superhuman physique. Eventually, Takasugi comes to intervene, but recognizes her. Shiyue, too, feels deja vu upon meeting him and asks him if they know each other before being knocked out. When she awakens, someone informs Takasugi and he arrives, bringing a plate of food. He asks how she's somehow managed to get younger by a year instead of aging and why she’s here, still harboring a soft spot for her. She apologetically explains that she’s an amnesiac and is looking for her mother, Zura, but also states that her body somehow cannot bear to hurt him. He smiles and says that she always used to refer to him as her son, so it’d make sense. He unchains her and has her eat a meal, watching her carefully, and saying she hasn’t changed. Suddenly, loud noises can be heard, and Shiyue looks outside, her keen ears being able to catch what’s going on. Horrified, she informs Takasugi that jouishi rebels have attacked because they think he killed Katsura. She asks what purpose he had in killing him and he informs her that he didn’t want to, it was just a whim of a subordinate. He ends up leaving, saying he has business to take care of, leaving Shiyue to organize her thoughts.
Shiyue goes to take a dump and then returns to the task at hand by looking for Katsura, but is stopped by all the fighting ensuing. She defeats many of Katsura’s allies before realizing they’re his allies and then sets up a tent where she can heal people, as she realized she could heal people when she healed Gintoki’s wounds one day. She remains unaware of the destruction Benizakura is causing, simply packing up and moving before she can see something that’ll make her sad. When the Harusame arrive, she packs up her tent and meets back up with Odd Jobs, single handedly defeating the waves of amanto. Noticing her silvery green hair, ethereal appearance, and fighting style with two fans, a few were able to deduce who she was, informing the higher-ups of her reappearance.
===Fuyo Arc===
Shiyue, with her supernatural reflexes and hearing, nearly teleports to Odd Jobs, running at a great speed with a piece of toast in her mouth from the other side of town in the Shogun’s household where she was having her hair primmed to perfection. She catches Tama’s head with ease, causing Gintoki and Shinpachi to be shocked. Gintoki tells her to drop it but Shinpachi seems to recognize it, saying the head was a popular robot called Etsuko-chan.
The squad then take the head over to old man Gengai’s shop to see what he can do with it, finding out that it was the head of android maid doll. Shinpachi diverges more information about it and Shiyue questions why he knows so much about it, to which he shyly replies that it’s popular in the otaku circles. Shiyue, with an innocent smile on her face, asks if he’s thinking of explicit things, having her words being bleeped out. Shinpachi asks how she knows such things and she replies that she found some porn mags left behind by a shogunate official in the shogun’s palace and a few when she used to live at Odd Jobs. Shinpachi lectures her about such items while Gintoki asks if Gengai can repair the head, hoping to make a ton of money selling it. They return home empty handed with only the head as they didn’t have the money required to pay for it. Shiyue says that the emperor closely monitors her spending in order to imprint good habits in her, so she is unable to assist. They each try to find the button that turns it on, with Shiyue nearly poking Tama’s eye out.
It eventually turns on but turns back off and on again, repeating the cycle. Giving up, Shiyue turns the tv on, where the news reports that a robot that looks like Tama murdered her master. Shiyue innocently remarks that tama looks like the one on the news and says they can market Tama as a celebrity. Tama, after gaining back her memories, clears the air and says that it was possible it was her who committed the act. Kagura asks how she got her memories back and if she can teach Shiyue - Tama goes on a tangent about technology that no one understands. The doorbell then rings, with the person claiming to be an investigator. Gin tries to toss the head out of the window but Shiyue reassures him by saying that if they go to jail for assisting a murderer she’ll have the emperor make sure they can simply commit seppuku instead of rotting away in prison. This simply serves to egg him on but Shiyue says that two of the three outside the door do not have life energy, and are not human, so they all escape.
The robots then catch up to then with an army of maid robots blocking the street and attack and they all then escape on Sadaharu, following Shinpachi. They discover that Professor Hayashi had copied the personality of his dead daughter into Tama and that he had transferred his personality to the android "502". However, it now wishes for robots to rise above humans. Gengai implants Fuzuo-0's memory and personality into another robot. As an army of robotic maids arrive at Gengai's, there is an explosion and Gintoki, Shiyue, Kagura, and Gengai emerge and head for the terminal on a tank. A giant robot maid causes the tank and Gengai to fall, but the rest of the gang jumps onto Sadaharu to continue their journey with Gengai driving the tank. After defeating the maid, Kagura, Shiyue, and Sadaharu also fall into the chasm. Fuzuo-0 restrains 502 as Kagura, Shiyue, Sadaharu, and Gengai arrive as back-up and they assist Gintoki in defeating 502.
===Yagyu Arc===
Shiyue drops a brick on princess bubbles’ head and apologizes, asking Otae what she’s doing here. Kondo comes outside and chastises her before proceeding to shit his pants. He calls Bubbles his pet named Princess and Gin and Kagura begin mistreating it, with Shiyue lecturing them and telling them they shouldn’t manhandle Otae. She goes to comfort Bubbles only for her to sneeze on her, causing Shiyue to collapse, flowers and sparkles appearing out of thin air. Bubbles gains sparkles in his eyes and picks her up in a princess carry, preparing to run with her. Kondo tries to drag princess away when poop falls out of his pants and Shiyue asks if he shat his pants. He tries to pin it on Princess and kicks her into the pond. Gin says that he did in fact see it fall out of his pants and Kondo, again, tries to divert the comments and says that it wasn’t him. Shiyue then points to the “trail” of poop that leads right to him.
Odd Jobs and co then crash through the doorway of where Otae and Kyubei are, Princess right behind. Shiyue, bewildered, asks how Otae can be at two places at once, earning a hard left jab from the real Otae. Kondo starts to tell the truth and Otae tearfully bids farewell. Enlightened and shocked, Shiyue asks if she perhaps didn’t want everyone to know she had a twin and was switching places with her the entire time. Gintoki smacks her and tells her to drop it. Days pass and at Odd Jobs, Shiyue wonders why Shinpachi hasn’t come by the past few days whilst the trio play Uno, Kagura joining her and asking if Otae will ever return. Gin replies that she must be getting ready to be wed and Kagura says that her mother told her that becoming a bride is supposed to be a happy event and wonders if Otae would be happy with this in the end. They talk about Otae more and agree to rescue her. They wind up at the Yagyuu dojo, storming it with three Shinsengumi members as well.
They enter the building and Okita is taken hostage by four helpers of the Yagyuu people. Hijikata tells them that Sougo isn’t even worth being a hostage, Kagura agreeing. Kyubei then shows up and tells his men to settle down. The seven inform her that they are challenging the Yagyuu clan and they begin their duel, a 7 on 7 match. Shiyue places her dish on her head in hopes of getting hit on it and getting reverse amnesia to regain her memories. Shinpachi warns her that she’ll end up losing the two brain cells she has left which falls on deaf ears. Shiyue walks around with the dish weighing down her empty head - so heavy, in fact, that she bumps into a tree and nearly passes out, blankly staring at it for an hour and a half before getting ambushed by Kyubei’s father. She angrily tells him he shouldn’t interrupt intellectual conversations and he asks what she’s talking about. She blocks his sword with her fan and uses the other to get his plate residing in his armpit, something she remarks as “fucking putrid, the fuck”. She jumps back and climbs up the tree she was staring at, telling him to put his plate somewhere else so she doesn’t have to defile her fans. Offended, he tells her to come down and fight her like a real man, and he won't go easy on her simply because she's the crown princess.
She obliges and jumps off the tree, causing the ground underneath to leave a crater. She seems to teleport behind him with her speed and knocks him out before he can blink. She then lifts his arm up and smashes the plate with a nearby rock and mourns the fallen tree until Toshi finds her and drags her back. They all return home and attend Kondou’s wedding a few days afterwards, Shiyue surrounded by a gorilla posse. Gintoki half-assedly tells her that she shouldn't ruin a wedding by taking all the attention away, but Kondou begs her over the walkie-talkie to continue with her actions. She fluently speaks with the gorillas, resonating with them as they are from the planet of Shoujo, and forgets she's a human, ignoring the Odd Jobs members. When the fight between the gorillas and Shinsengumi escalates, she takes a microphone and pleads with everyone, saying they should stop for her sake, on the brink of crying. However, she trips and falls on a banana peel, going unconscious, and is dragged away by Gintoki.
===Hasegawa Persecution Arc===
The Odd Jobs visit Hasegawa at prison whilst bringing him information from outside. Shiyue comforts him and tells him that everyone has had their body move on its own and broken somebody’s legs and been tried for it. She was a member of the jury during the trial and when porn DVDs were shown, her fellow jurors cover her eyes and scold Hasegawa's rivals for defiling the crown princesses eyes. She point-blankedly calls them all disgusting and leaves, mournfully sitting in the corner and plucking the flowers that bloom around her, forming a crowd. She disappears and reappears, handing out flyers of Haga's cheating,
===Owee Arc===
A news reporter is interrupted by smoke coming from a small campfire lit by the Odd Jobs. The line security staffer tries to tell them to put out the fire, but he is ignored when the squad plays a scene from heidi involving food. They trick some of the starving men in the front to trade places with them so the otaku can eat it, moving up twenty places. They then use Shiyue, giving out autographed photo's of her for free, moving up ten paces. They were hired to buy five consoles for their clients, but with the way things were going, Shinpachi doubts that they would be able to get any. Gintoki, irritated that he was wasting his time with this toy in the first place, declares that he didn't mind if Katsura destroys this city. Kagura says they should have faith in Shiyue, who points out that Zura is a few paces ahead of them and is interrupted by Shinpachi, Kagura, and Gintoki kicking him out the way and moving up ten more spaces. Katsura and Gintoki have a short conversation while Shiyue consoles him, patting him on the back, unknowingly sending some life energy into him that heals the bruises he gains from the kick.
Okita and Kondou are kicked near the Odd Jobs and they tell Katsura to hide under the kotatsu. Kondou and Kougo sneak into the table while Hijikata asks why they’re there. The store opens and the staff tells the people to form a line as they will be receiving one console per customer. Everyone rushes in the store and Shiyue gets mobbed, unable to reach a console, which causes her jump on the people’s heads and use them as stepping stones, having them drop like dominoes. A side wall then lifts up to show a large screen and a playable Owee. The manager arrives dressed in a flamboyant getup and declares that since they were so enthusiastic about the Owee then they should bet on who will win in an game battle, which will involve the Odd Jobs and Shinsengumi squads. Whoever wins the battle will get the console for free and whoever bets right will get the right to purchase the console. The otaku angrily berate the owner for this idea, but Shiyue successfully sways the gamers into participating in the betting.
In the first round, one person from each team will be playing "Bakiboki Memorial", a dating sim game where whoever makes the heroine fall first wins. The Odd Jobs find themselves at a disadvantage as they never played this type of game before, but the shinsengumi themselves have their self proclaimed expert, Kondou. Suddenly, a laugh comes from the kotatsu and the person underneath reveals himself to be Mario. Shiyue asks him to say his iconic line, star struck, before being struck by Kagura.
Katsura and Kondou & Shinpachi and Yamazaki engage in combat when the third match is revealed to be a free for all to clean up the remaining five - a VR adventure game. When spawned in, she thinks she's in another world as she came to be in edo in a similar fashion. She forgets the point of the game and kept ramming into a tree for ten minutes until it comes to life and chastises her, revealing itself as the tree of life. It says that if she eats a fruit from its branches, it will grant her the powers of a god. Having thought it said powers of a dog, she gets offended, angrily asking if it was a furry and trying to scheme to get her to become one. The tree tells her off, saying it was a tree and couldn’t possibly be a furry, to which she responded that it’s fursona could be a small tree moth. It then proceeds to pelt her with fruit, slowly taking her 69 hit points to zero. Just when her hit points reached zero, she's granted infinite hit points, and her avatar transforms into a blinding and incredibly large Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon. The tree, shocked, remarks that she’s ascended to the ninth circle of cultivation and has never seen such a thing happen before in his life. Having achieved enlightenment, Shiyue is taken to the heavens above and begins destroying the game world from there, shooting shots out of her cannon head, when in actuality, she's head butting bystanders in real life and desecrating the store.
==Season 3==
===Shinsengumi Crisis Arc===
Toshi arrives at Odd Jobs and they watch as he acts completely different from normal, including using polite speech and taking pictures of Kagura due to a resemblance of a magical girl. Shiyue falls to the ground, alarming Odd Jobs. She then rises, perfectly fine, although carrying a different air, blushing when she meets eyes with Toshi. They strike up a conversation, both parties blushing, causing the rest of the Odd Jobs to beat him up, demanding to know why he’s hitting on a twelve-year-old girl. Shinpachi yells that she has transformed from a shoujo manga lead to a shounen romance lead.
Toshi then informs them that he was fired from his job and now must find a way to get money without working and then asks if they want to draw manga with him. He thinks about selling his sword but tells them that he is unable to part with it and that it is cursed. The five visit Tetsuko's blacksmith shop to look into it and she reveals that Hijikata's sword was a Muramasha, known for absorbing human souls. This particular sword houses the soul of an otaku, who was killed by his enraged mother after being tired of her son constantly staying in the house watching anime. Whoever wields the blade will become obsessed with anime and other 2D media while refusing to work or fight. The four hear someone smoking and turn to see hijikata, who has resurfaced for the last time for his last smoke and is surprised to see the Odd Jobs in front of him. He, with his last ounce of strength, pleads to the Odd Jobs his first and last request: to protect the Shinsengumi.
During the night, the Odd Jobs and Toshi wander the Edo streets. Shinpachi grows concerned that something is happening to the Shinsengumi and Hijikata's firing may be because of it. Gintoki tries to ignore being involved, but Shitue says that it must’ve been vital as it caused the prideful vice commander to ask for their help, an out-of-character intelligent remark. They are interrupted by tosshi asking them to help him buy three of the newest figurine that will be on sale tomorrow, one for collecting, one for viewing, and the last for "personal reasons"; they beat him up due to that last reason. The police arrive and begin to escort Toshi back, but Gintoki grabs him and they all make a run for it.
A police car stops in the alleyway, but Shiyue stops the car and Gintoki throws out its occupants. They are then made aware of Itou’s plan over the intercom and Gintoki uses the police radio and warns the Shinsengumi by pretending to be Toshi. They arrive at the scene with their car destroying a Kiheitai jeep driven by the Odd Jobs and Hijikata, all five wearing Shinsengumi uniforms. The Kiheitai jeeps begin shooting at the Odd Jobs, Shiyue catching the bullets with her fans and then deflecting them. She recognizes the cars as belonging to the kiheitai and refuses to stay on the offensive, running away with the Odd Jobs. Gintoki angrily asks why she’s so loyal to Joui rebels and that she could be arrested for such acts. The absentmindedly takes out the paulownia government seal, blankly stating that the emperor, who she calls “papa” said to show these if someone tried to arrest her. Gintoki yells at her for carrying such valuable items around. She reminds to focus, kicking Toshi out of the car.
Shiyue pitches a healing stand at the battlefield once again, saying she’ll heal injured soldiers, even doing small cheer routines using bloody rocks to cheer people up. As the fight comes to a close, she quietly escorts Kiheitai members away safely.
===Guardian Dog Arc===
Riding in a high-class car with liquor and other niceties, the Odd Jobs are driven to a large mansion. Figuring their luck has finally changed for the better, they’re elated by their newfound fortune. This changes when they find out the mansion belongs to some powerful yakuza. Inside the mansion, they are surrounded by intimidating yakuza and are soon greeted by their leader, Mashiroi Kaguzou. He explains that his son, Utsuzou, has locked himself in the warehouse for the past 5 years and refuses to come out. Shiyue kicks the door down and almost storms in but is surrounded by the yakuza. Taking the matter more seriously, the Odd Jobs dressed in riot police gear use a megaphone to negotiate with utsuzou. This too doesn't work and incites the yakuza's rage again.
This next trick they use to try and get utsuzou out of the confines is "Ah? It looks like fun out there". The trick involves cooking some meat and partying outside. Utsuzou will then hear the noise and open the door to find out what it's all about. They’ll then envelop him in smoke until it becomes unbearable. Once again, this tactic incites the yakuza's rage. Left with no other choice, they try one last tactic: have Kagura shoot at the warehouse. Utsuzou then gives another message written in blood: "Goodbye". With the yakuza ready to murder them, Shiyue licks the blood and reveals its tomato juice.
Kyoujirou criticizes his boss' way of trying to meet his son. Kaguzou, however, declares that he wants to see his son once again before he dies. His lieutenant still insists that he stops and then Kaguzou vomits blood. The yakuza then scramble and Gintoki has Shinpachi, Shiyue, Kagura follow the yakuza to the hospital while he stays behind. Meanwhile, at the hospital, Kaguzou is bedridden, hooked up many machines, surrounded by his men along with Kagura and Shinpachi. Barely lucid, he asks if his son Utsuzou is there. Shinpachi anxiously asks if Shiyue can heal him, but she gravely says he is fated to die here, and if she were to go against fate, he would ultimately die a much grimmer death later on.
===Ryugujo Arc===
The Odd Jobs are at the beach to catch a suspicious person, and eventually catch Kamenashi videotaping girls in their swimsuits and proceed to beat him up. He promises to take them to the ryugu palace so they agreed to not hand him over to the authorities.
In the sea, they spot a cruiser with Kyubei, Otae, and a golden turtle onboard, and then a warship with Hasegawa and a badass turtle. Katsura then appears, riding a flying soft-shelled turtle, saying he was headed to Tianzhu. The turtles began brawling, destroying the boats and causing everyone to be lost at sea.
Shiyue wakes up alone on a shore and thinks she’s been spawned into a new world, this time with her memories. She sits on the sand, cupping some in her hands, and imbues them with life energy unknowingly, granting them a consciousness. She holds a conversation with the grains of sand who proudly tell her they banks on the lovely Ryugu Palacr and that Shiyue has not been transported to a new world. Shocked, she asks if her friends are here, and they reply by telling her disgruntledly that a few other humans did wash up here and two had the audacity to run naked on them, one pissing on them.
Gintoki, Otae, Hasegawa, Shinpachi, Kyubei, and Jagura find her talking to the sand. Ashamed, Gintoki tells her to knock it off. Shiyue simply looks up and asks him if he was one of the embarrassments that stripped naked and ran across the beach, causing Hasegawa and Shinpachi to shut her up. They then locate Katsura and form three groups: Hasegawa and Otae in charge of cooking, Kyubei, Shiyue, and Shinpachi in charge of finding shelter, and Katsura, Kagura, and Gintoki in charge of exploring the island.
They are captured and imprisoned by turtle men and brought to Ryugu Palace and begin to talk strategy inside their cell. Everyone soon becomes annoyed by Katsura and Gintoki’s behavior when some turtles appear, taking Shiyue and then leaving. As Shiyue enters the main room of Otohime’s palace, a hooded man with dark hair similar to hers leaves. The two look up at each other and meet eyes, feeling a strange sense of dejavu. When greeted with Shiyue’s face, Otohime becomes dumbfounded and looks at her for a good minute and begins to strangle her, angrily asking how she attained such beauty. Shiyue simply says that her mommy gave it to her before her eyes darken and face stills, becoming robotic, gravely stating that she has no mother or father and simply came to be through asexual reproduction.
Otohime becomes confused before her eyes widen, saying she looks like the Saintess of Shiyue. She moved a staggered step back and takes a knee, asking what happened to her. Shiyue innocently replies that she is the result of an amoeba doing asexual reproduction, earning otohime’s confusion. She then undoes the rope on her and assumes her buddha voice and hand gestures, saying she has noticed the darkness in her heart and will cleanse her of it, proceeding to do an interpretative dance. Otohime slaps her, saying the Saintess would never perform such foolish acts. Hurt, Shiyue rubs her bruised cheeks that heal themself in front of otohime, looking up at her with pleading eyes and asking how she could do such a heinous thing. Otohime simply waves her hand and has her dropped in a pool of sharks, this time securing her with handcuffs.
She easily snaps out of them at the last moment and plucks her hairpin out, expertly using it as a dagger to slay the sharks. Otae, Kyuubei, and Kagura arrive as backup, and the four proceed to beat up guards. Their fight is interrupted by more subordinates surrounding them with their guns, buying otohime enough time to let the poison spread inside her palace, letting everyone, including her own subordinates, age extremely fast. The only one immune is Shiyue as she continuously brims with life energy and will always maintain her youth. She gives a motivational speech to Otohime, laced with cliché’s, yet somehow still works.
She prevents Gintoki and Katsura from loading the antidote into the cannon before it fires. As it falls, though, the antidote missile begins to leak, turning Gintoki and Katsura back to their young selves, and they punt the missile into the cannon, miraculously making it fire and spreading the antidote across edo. As the ship begins to deteriorate, Otohime gets crushed under a part of the cannon structure, ordering everyone to safety and to leave her. Everyone, including the turtles, decides to save her before the Ryugu Palace disintegrates into the ocean.
===Monkey Hunter Arc===
Gintoki, Shiyue, and Shinpachi watch a newscast pertaining to alien abductions. The three briefly talk about it until the tv starts to become static. While Gintoki checks the TV and thinks he may have to open it up, Shinpachi reveals that his index finger is now a screwdriver. Finding Shinpachi's predicament humorous, Gintoki goes to use the toilet while Kagura wakes up as a giant flathead screwdriver. Shiyue also reveals she has a screwdriver, showing she now has an extremely heavy, sad screwdriver tail, able to create a crater when she drops it. When Shinpachi tries to tell Gintoki about their appearance, it's revealed that Gintoki's analog stick has also been changed, causing Shiyue to roll around in laughter and make fun of him.
Later, the Odd Jobs go to a net cafe and discuss their current matters. Ultimately it's decided that they'll need to play the online game Monhun in order to find the aliens responsible for transforming them. After creating a character that resembles him, Shinpachi runs into Gintoki's character who demands his balls. Soon, they run into Kagura who previously ambushed another character and stole their equipment. They then run into Shiyue who is cyber bullying other players and documenting their credit card numbers. When accosted by two pig guards on the matter, Gintoki and Kagura kill them, loot them, and roast them. The Odd Jobs are then chased out of town by a swarm of admins while a hooded character watches them from the crowd.
With no chance of returning to the town to search for information, the Odd Jobs decide to go monster hunting. This is in order to attract the attention of fellow players to exchange information with or find the amanto that changed them. Once this is decided, they're attacked by a monkey monster. Both attempts to stop the monster from chasing them are foiled by Shiyue until another player rescues them.
The new player that rescued them from their predicament joins the Odd Jobs who soon reveals himself as Katsura. Furthermore, Katsura and Elizabeth are in the exact predicament as the Odd Jobs. They find a new player and then travel to find the legendary hunter [M], picking up Sarutobi on the way. They’re ambushed by a monster who is killed by TheLegend27, aka hasegawa. Two of the amanto responsible for their transformations appear and the group approaches them, only to find out the two armanto are none other than Hijikata and Okita. And of course, they too have transformed into drivers.
The group hold an "offline meeting" at a BBQ restaurant to discuss their current situation. Shiyue enters the room later than the rest, dragging her tail and making incredibly loud noises, leaving giant holes in the floor. The Shinsengumi refer to her as the Imperial Princess, revealing that the emperor has changed the law and adopted her, causing Gintoki to spaz out. Katsura takes this chance to show proof of his claim, revealing a picture of a poster for a truck driver job. Kagura and Okita then beat up katsura for his false claim. The two chastise katsura for his false claim and he admits that their endeavor is futile and they should accept their fate. Kondou refutes Katsura's claim and tries to put an optimistic spin on it. A female humanoid screw picture from Kondou falls onto the table. He discloses that the woman in the picture is a princess whom he'll meet with later for a marriage interview. With the meeting heading nowhere, it quietly ends with everyone feeling despondent.
Time passes and the lives of everyone affected by the screwdriver transformation are shown and how they've adjusted to their new lifestyles. Shiyue carries out her princess duties and elevates the favorability of the imperial household with the common people, giving more power to the emperor and not the shogunate, sometimes getting into spats with the sister of the Shogun. Sarutobi then gathers everyone affected by the screwdriver change and informs them of the amanto's location. Enthralled by this news, the Odd Jobs head to the their ship and then destroy it, having the modifications changed as well.
===Correspondence Arc===
Days later in the Shimura household, Tae asks Odd Jobs to help figure out what is wrong with Shinpachi. He’s stayed in his room for a while, accumulating large amounts of crumpled papers. Gintoki believes that Shinpachi was doing something "adult" in his room, trying to be more independent, and tells her what he thinks is going on. Shiyue confronts Shinpachi and tries giving him a porno magazine she’d found in the imperial palace with crusty pages and Gintoki introduces some hired dominatrices for Shinpachi's new "pastime", but Shinpachi corrects him. He states that he didn't want to tell Tae about the letters for fear of her getting upset. She then arrives, gives Shinpachi konnyaku gel and noodles with holes in the center along with a bottle of lube, telling him that she will still love him no matter what he becomes, and flees. Shinpachi despairs as thanks to Gintoki and Shiyue, his sister thinks far worse things about him now.
Gintoki and Shiyue read Shinpachi's latest draft and note how boring and wordy it is. She advises that the teen's response should get to the point and stand out; Shinpachi needs to introduce himself in three sentences and send a photo. They go through much trial and error until Sougo arrives, asking for Kondou’s whereabouts, when Gintoki decides to use him as the backdrop. Offended, Shiyue points out that she should be the backdrop as the most attractive person alive, something the gathered three cannot refute. She says she can get more “bitches” while crossdressing than they ever could in their entire life, angering Gintoki. Shinpachi retorts, pointing out that she’s twelve and that if the girl he was penpalling were to find out, she’d go to jail. Glumly, Shiyue accepts her fate.
Eventually, Shinpachi is sent a letter from Kirara requesting that that two meet up with one another. Gintoki tepidly congratulates Shinpachi for his "achievement". On the other hand, Shinpachi realizes that Kirara thinks that he's really Okita from the photo they sent her. Reassuring Shinpachi, Shiyue says he's still in the picture and points at his glasses frames, complimenting how attractive he looks. Kondo appears and claims that he should have come to him the "love expert" for advice. Shinpachi refutes Kondo’s claim for being love expert, but Kondo obstinately believes he is. Willing to help out his future brother in law out, Kondo offers to help Shinpachi with his letter, but his idea has too much verbiage and midway accentuates too heavily on Otae. Gintoki then gives his own suggestion of how to word it, but is instantly rejected. Shiyue adds in her own but is also instantaneously denied.
Sick and tired of the trio’s suggestions, Shinpachi decides to write the letter on his own. Kirara receives Shinpachi's letter and after reading it sends a reply. Kondo notes how receptive she was towards the sister topic and Shinpachi comments on how she didn't talk about herself whatsoever. Gintoki thinks they should change the subject but Kondo disagrees. Hijikata then arrives and Kondo has Hijikata give his thoughts on the letters thus far from Kirara. After reading them, Hijikata surmises what blood type she is, figuring how self-centered her letters are. Gintoki concocts a safe way to change the subject of the reply letter, but his idea is rejected due to the sexual nature of it. Sequentially, Kondo's idea is rejected. Shiyue tries her hand at it as well, writing in a very flowery, Shakespearean style, which Kondo applauds her for, saying it must be the result of all the poetry she must do at the Imperial palace. However, it takes a turn, and she asks if she will be allowed the honor of “consuming thy flat buttocks”.
Hijikata then gives his own interpretation and goes on a writing streak after an epiphany he has. A consummate letter is written perfectly, but he realizes that the letter contained two carnal sentences by Kondou and Shiyue respectively. Upon reading the letter, Urara berates Shinpachi for such using such lewdness. Gintoki, Kondo, and Hijikata lament over the letter they sent Kirara, whilst Shiyue tries to cheer them up, unsure of what went wrong. This changes when they hear that Kirara wants to meet Shinpachi in person, leaving them astonished, but Shiyue proud, claiming it’s all because of her intellect. After reading the letter, which gave a consensual remark to the aforementioned carnal remark, Kondo rips the letter to shreds. He remarks that as his future brother in law, he refuses to allow such a scandalous act to take place.
On the day of the meetup, Urara replaces Kirara, while vice versa, Okita replaces Shinpachi. Shinpachi, Shiyue, and Gintoki observe the situation from afar. It's revealed that the only reason why Okita is doing this for Shinpachi is that he owes Gintoki a lot and is apart of the newly added regulation to the Shinsengumi regulations. Furthermore, Urara is missing her older sister whom she came to Edo with. It's at that moment that Kirara appears behind the three due to Shiyue’s clumsiness, having Kirara catch her. On the streets of Edo, Shinpachi prostates himself in front of Kirara and apologizes. He confesses his guilt, however, Kirara understands and blames herself for all of this. Shiyue chimes in and tries to mediate the situation, much to Shinpachi's chagrin. Kirara, however, requests that she helps Shinpachi court her sister Urara. This astonishes Gintoki and Shinpachi. disconcerted by this, Shinpachi voices tries to dissuade Kirara from doing that, however, Kirara is obstinate. She proposes a plan to fake kidnap Kirara and have Shinpachi come to the rescue. Shiyue begs to be the villain that kidnaps her and have Gintoki as her loyal sidekick, earning angry yells from him. They agree to do it and then contact Okita, escorting Urara, about the plan. His notion of escorting her, however, is with a chain and spiked collar, and leads her to a "restaurant" that's really just an old man feeding a bunch of stray cats.
As Okita talks with the old man, Urara gets into a catfight with one of the strays. Prompted to save Urara, Shinpachi leaps into action to try and save her, but is instead attacked by the "damsel". Okita then pets Urara who has completely subjugated Urara in his control. Gintoki and Kirara start a scene where Shiyue plans to sell Kirara and Gintoki as slaves. Urara pays no heed. Emotionally distraught by the situation, Kirara runs away. Shiyue, seeing a chance, plays the dashing prince and tosses her clothes off in public much to Gintoki’s chagrin, revealing a longer hanfu underneath, and platform shoes, as well as a different hairstyle - she assumes her former host appearance. She picks up Urara and radiates a shining light that blinds all in the vicinity and tells Urara that she is here to save her and that she will now become her slave instead of Okita’s. She jumps ship in an instant - not only her, but everyone else around her age, including men, gather around Shiyue. She brandishes her harem around town when Urara sees her sister about to jump off a building and goes to help her after getting Shiyue’s permission.
===Kintaro Arc===
She mourns Kintaro and his owner - this leaves a big impression on her and she changes her huadian to a gathering of chrysanthemum flowers, mourning flowers in east Asia. This serves to inform her the true importance of life, but she feels a lingering sense of terror and dread.
===Ghost Ryokan Arc===
At a snowy area, the Odd Jobs along with Otae arrive at a hot spring resort. The resort isn't to their expectations as it's severely dilapidated. Still, the girls enter the resort grounds, despite Gintoki and Shinpachi's wariness of the ominous and bloody sign. They are greeted by Oiwa who has a ghostly figured attached to her. She then leads the group into the resort building while Gintoki and Shinpachi note the ghostly figure on Oiwa.
Gintoki believes the figure to be a "Stand" and surmises that they're Stand users too. The girls choose western rooms whilst the boys freak out and barge into the western-style room, beseeching the girls to exchange rooms with them. Upon closer inspection of the room, Shinpachi finds behind one of the sliding doors, the ghost of Abraham Lincoln hanging himself. The girls are left perplexed as to why Gintoki and Shinpachi are acting so strangely and mentioning stands. Everyone takes a bath, and afterwards, everyone but Gintoki is possessed and they all play uno. Eventually, Gintoki battles Oiwa and her stand, having fused with Shiyue. In this form, he has the ability to have a supernatural condition and everyone in the vicinity fall in love with him, being ultimately useless. Shiyue reveals she was able to see the ghosts the entire time but has gotten used to it a while ago. When finding out life-force exists, this causes her to question her odd abilities that don’t match any amanto.
===Arranged Marriage===
gets into arranged marriage w shogunate official
===Yoshiwara in Flames===
Gintoki brings Seita to the Otose snack bar and he immediately clings to Shiyue, unlocking the bro-con trope. She then asks how much the number one courtesan makes and if she should become one too, causing Shinpachi to be horrified. She listens to Seita’s story and calls him an idiot, having Otose smack her. They head to yoshiwara to help Seita deposit money, with Shiyue proudly wearing an elaborate hanfu paired with an elaborate Chinese hairstyle.
She amusedly informs Seita that the men he’d been paying had actually stolen his money but then tells him the Odd Jobs will make sure he meets his mother. They are then suddenly ambushed by odd ninja knives, Shiyue shielding everyone with her fans ahead of time due to her senses. They race down to the foot of the stairs and are greeted with the Hyakka and Tsukuyo, who takes the chance to attack Seita. Gintoki suddenly appears and seems to strike down all the knives at once with a single swing, but it turns out that two have hit Gintoki and one has hit both seita and Shiyue. Gintoki then removes all knives and refuses to admit he was hit with a long conversation. Shiyue has a kunai stuck in the back of her head and refuses to remove it, calling it a fashion statement, and leaves it in for the majority of the arc.
She is then hit by another kunai in the back of her head and feigns an aneurysm before falling to her feet. Tsukuyo guides them through an escape route when Shiyue notices a Yato standing in the distance, his face obscured by a parasol. Shiyue is hit by a wave of dejavu and clutches her now aching head, trying to sort her thoughts. He charges at them and Shiyue stays rooted to the back, unwilling to fight despite Shinpachi yelling at her. She replies that she feels as if she were to hurt him, she’d kill herself.
An attack comes from the ground, which Shiyue dodges, finally being roped back into the present. She engages in combat with a Yato, overpowering him and sending him flying, when she’s taken by surprise, a hand grabbing her face from behind, turning her around, and smashing her into the ground, breaking the pipe she was standing on. She meets the man’s eyes and angrily calls him a “mummy edgelord” before descending into the abyss. They fall into a roof far below, Shiyue going unconscious for a few seconds.
Tsukuyo then leads them to a safe place where they are disguised as one of the hyakka, much to Shiyue’s chagrin. Shiyue is ultimately forced into a kimono after a screaming round, saying she will only ever wear the hanfu and not a cheap copy. Her hair is done in a sailor moon esque hairstyle with multiple Chinese hair accessories as a “fuck you” and she wears elegant silken, pastel purple flats with ribbons that wrap around her ankles and a purple and white kimono, the kunoi still in the back of her head. They then begin their advance towards Housen’s house. The Odd Jobs are all dressed as big breasted woman, Shiyue introducing herself as Joe “Bidden”. They enter the residence and are immediately attacked by kunai, Shiyue deflecting the ones near her with her fans and sending them back at the Hyakka.
She fishes out her smoke bomb boobs and tosses them, leaving the main room. She’s distracted, racing away from the rest of her group, simply saying she’ll catch up to them later. She races towards the opposite direction and is led to the balcony on the very first floor where she comes to a halt, noticing someone in the shadows, carefully asking who they are. The boy responds by saying it’s nice to meet Joe “Bidden”. He launches a rapier at her that grazes her cheek, so fast it leave a sonic boom. It pins the hem of her clothing to the wall, and she unhappily tells him he’s messing her hairstyle up, pulling out a blood-soaked kunoi from the back of her head and throwing it to the ground.
She then blankly pulls the rapier out, feeling the pulsing of altana inside of it. She, amazed, asks him if he’s on steroids. The boy approaches her, revealing himself to have slightly glowing black hair with a gem’s luster and shine, along with kaleidoscope gem eyes that seem to change colors. The poppy design above her glabella glows faintly and she recognizes him as the boy who passed her in the underwater palace.
He sadly asks her if that’s all she remembers of him or if she’s just angry at him for what he did, cupping her face. She pats him on the shoulder and straight forwardly tells him she gets lots of people like him who believe they’ve had a whole life and that she will pay for his therapy. His face crumples and he mutters about how two lifetimes weren’t enough to repent. He introduces himself as Kieran, who can manipulate altana at will and has a supernatural condition, the captain of the fifth division of the Harusame, the elite division shrouded in mystery. He holds her hand the whole time and declares that he will leave to be her bodyguard, hopefully to make up for his transgressions. Shiyue readily agrees and they prepare to leave and the wall suddenly breaks and Gintoki lands on top of her.
She tells Kieran he sucks and spots Housen and Gintoki in the middle of a duel. Shiyue picks up Gintoki bridal style and jumps out of the way and out of housen’s attack. She wrinkles her nose at housen, saying he smells like a pedophile and that she will kill him in the name of the FBI, posing as sailor moon. She proceeds to demolish him, saying he better not get any funny ideas about her and that she doesn’t want to hear the “absolute bullshit reason’s” he has. Housen recognizes her and grits his teeth.
She sneers, making fun of his moniker, ‘king of the night’, saying that sounds like something a six-year-old would think up in a game of make believe or a middle school edgelord. She continues to rain down insults on him, calling him “a man who’d get absolutely no pussy” if he wasn’t “a weirdo”, gruesomely saying she should tear off “his wrinkly, nasty, microscopic dick” and force feed it to him. In the middle of their prolonged fight of Shiyue tossing him around like a ragdoll, she looks up at the ceiling, hearing the cogs in them turning, meaning they will open. Sunlight rains down in yoshiwara, making Shiyue hiss as she hates sunlight. She grabs his head and throws him into the sunlight, dealing the killing blow. She walks over to him and tells him to say hi to Satan for her in hell, then stomping on his face, having his brain splatter, and leaving a large crater behind.
When she’s done, she calls for Kieran, who immediately appears besides her and asks what she needs. She asks for a handkerchief and he somehow has baby wipes, wiping the blood off her face and hands for her. Gintoki kicks her head, asking why she has to steal his thunder and why she had to be so gruesome. He then turns his attention to kieran, gaping, saying Shiyue’s cult would leave her once they saw kieran.
Shiyue laughs, saying her cult will forever love her with a dark glint in her eyes. She opens her mouth to brag, but is then interrupted by Kamui, who congratulates them on a splendid performance and how the trip was worth it. They are then interrupted by Kagura, but Shinpachi manages to hold her back. Kamui then tells Gintoki to look after her and make her stronger, saying a farewell to Gintoki. He looks at Shiyue, saying nothing but smiling with his eyes closed and drawing a line near his neck with his thumb, confusing her. Shiyue heals Gintoki and leaves Yoshiwara with Kieran.
===Kidnapping Arc===
gets kidnapped by cult . Kieran leaves for Harusame duty and returns in Timeksio
==Season 4==
===Otsu Arc===
Shiyue enters in the contest to be Otsu’s official fan club due to Shinpachi’s begging and the Odd Jobs find themselves in the middle of 5000 otaku who'll also be participating. The announcer tells the groups that first round is to run 10 KM to the oedo tv station. If one member of the team gives up, the rest will be disqualified. Shiyue and Kagura are sent off ahead, but Shiyue stops after a few seconds due to being tired, collapsing dramatically while flowers bloom around her.
The otaku who witness this are enveloped in her light and transformed into ikemen and carry her to the “nurses office”. She finds herself at the finish line by being carried by a medium-sized group of people. They gently set her down and she awakes, thanking them. Gintoki is horrified, yelling and asking her why she hasn’t learned her lesson yet.
Otsu lets the cab and palanquin incidents slide, and as such, Hijikata's and Shinpachi's groups are in the finals. The second contest is a question and answer about Otsu; the contestants each sit on a slide leading to a pool of water and the slides are controlled by her. Wrong answer leads to their team's slides' incline increasing, a right answer leads to their opponents' increasing. When the game starts, Shinpachi (a pair of glasses) immediately slides into the water, shocking all present. The real Shinpachi arrives late due to struggling out of the river and playing catch up. He angrily yells at the announcer for starting without him and the other players for once again placing a pair of glasses as himself. Shinpachi is still disqualified and the game continues. Hijikata is next to be eliminated due to not having the otsuu suffix, thus the two are forced to rely on their otsuu-ignorant teammates. Shinpachi's group ends up getting three questions correct by luck thanks to Taka-tin asking to use the bathroom that is somehow the right answers to the questions. Hijikata's group ends up winning due to kondou's question to otsuu luckily being a correct answer to another question.
The two teams are now entering a charisma contest where they have to hit on otsu and try to get her to a place somewhere with nice and quiet accommodations (in short, a love hotel). one does the seducing, three try to help, and the one will be the narrator, guiding the events.
Shiyue takes the role of Buddha (Guanyin) and gets into a fight with Goku halfway through. Otsuu refuses to participate due to its implied connotations, despite the narrator's insistence otherwise. The narrator changes the name, gandara vuhotel, to a hotel chain, but Otsu still refuses to enter. Frustrated, the narrator becomes a physical entity and goes to the hotel with the other demons.
For the next few days, otsuu stays outside while her protectors are in the building. Gintoki describes her loneliness and longing to be with her friends, as well as wondering why she sees demon footprints surrounding her. She gets her answer one night when she wakes up to see her protectors surrounding her, sleeping. Shiyue appears to tell her that through their worry, they have stayed with her instead of the hotel, chastising her on thinking that the group had dirty intentions to her. Otsuu also realizes that Buddha also was protecting her. The narration finishes with otsuu finally entering the hotel with the others, thus the simulation becoming a success. During the final battle, Shiyue cheers Shinpachi on.
===Tama Quest Arc===
Shiyue is miniaturized due to Gengai's latest invention. She joins Gintoki, Kagura, and Shinpachi on the quest to save tama from a new type of computer virus. They meet the anti-virus system, personified as the leukocyte queen who looks exactly like Shiyue, modeled after the person she thinks is strongest, and fight their way through, eventually healing Tama.
===Diviner Arc===
The Odd Job help Ketsuno Ana divorce Shirino Douman and join forces with Getomaru in the quest. Shiyue brings in Shinpachi as a shikigami to the contest that involves eating Pandemonium, which Shinpachi just cannot bring himself to do, having fallen in love. Shiyue eventually creates a mess so the match ends without a winner. After the battle, the Odd Jobs are thanked by both diviner families during their departure and Ketsuno Ana via television.
==Gintama'==
===Timeskip Arc===
Shiyue, after two years, has made plans to conquer the universe and has complete blackened. Her notable physical changes are wearing small Chinese fingernail coverings on her pinky and ring finger of her right hand, changing her hairstyle, wearing rings, becoming taller, wearing dark robes, and somehow becoming prettier. She reveals that she has monopoly over every planet in the galaxy except Earth and broadcasts this message over every device. Black flowers blossom around her, and she is surrounded by people kneeling to her, Shinpachi exclaiming that she's gone beyond shoujo manga. Rhys, accompanying Shinpachi, is immediately stunned and leaves him in the dust without a second thought to find her. She appears, firing the Neo Armstrong Cylone Jet Armstrong Cannon at Edo, mirroring the events in the game arc. Rhys demands to know why she's acting the way he is and Shiyue calls him a beta male and to get lost. Rainclouds form only above their heads and begins to fall as he grabs her by the wrist before she leaves and gives her a heartfelt speech before picking her up and batting her away with his fan.
===Kabukicho Four Devas===
With Pirako’s addition to Odd Jobs, she and Kagura set about acting like yakuza. Shiyue likes her and laughs at her antics, egging them on, with Gintoki reprimanding all three of them. Soon after this, they bump into some actual yakuza who put up an act by faking an injury to demand compensation, so Gintoki decides to resolve it by putting up a much more serious one of his own, Shiyue following suit. One of the heads in Jorochou’s faction, Katuso Kurogoma, shows up. Using Shinpachi, Shiyue, and Kagura as decoys, Gintoki and Pirako have managed to evade Katsuo but are now stuck in the can of concrete. Shiyue waves them off, spouting horrible french that she says she picked up from “Jean Pierre Polnareff”.
Shiyue is horrified upon hearing what’s transpired with Otose and heals her, bringing her to full health. Gin disbands the Odd Jobs, horrifying her once more. Everyone except Gintoki packs up their things with Shinpachi telling them that they can all just start over in another town, but his happy memories bring him and everyone else to tears. Shiyue overhears the whole story about Otose and Jirouchou and is now fueled by a new hatred for Jioruchou and his daughter, who she calls Annabelle, after the doll. Gintoki intends to face the attack alone, but, the rest of the Odd Jobs arrive to stop him, telling that he’ll protect them and they’ll protect him, just as they always have. Soon, everyone appears to prepare for the upcoming mini battle.
Shiyue gets rid of all obstacles in her path with ease, trying to make her way towards pirako so she can “beat her ass and teach her a goddamn lesson”. Finally, she reaches her, ruthlessly beating her with a murderous face, leaving no room for Pirako to counterattack. She taunts her, asking how desperate she must be for affection if she resorts to the father that abandoned and never loved her. She calls her a loser for going so far for him when he obviously doesn’t love her, saying more and more insults until she stops with a smile, Pirako’s entire body bleeding and bruised. She heals her minor injuries, like small bruises and cuts, before murmuring and telling her that if they ever meet again, she’ll sentence her to death by a thousand cuts. Shiyue continues fighting against the gathered enemy forces.
===Love Choriss Arc===
Otae invites the Odd Jobs over and tells them of her plight of Shinpachi being completely hooked on his game girlfriend. Shiyue, interested in the game Shinpachi’s obsessed with, makes an account and wishes to partake in the tournament. On the day of, after Kagura and Gintoki eat breakfast, they realize she's missing despite seeing her a few minutes ago. Gintoki finds her pinned to the wall, blushing, her girlfriend murmuring obscenities. She has assumed the personality of a male lead of smut manga, actively making moves on her which Shiyue simply succumbs too, her shoujo manga persona fitting perfectly with it. Gintoki immediately takes her DS and smashes it into oblivion, telling her to never touch such things again. Shiyue mourns the loss of her girlfriend.
Later, Shiyue arrives at the arena as she wanted to witness Shinpachi and Gintoki embarrass themselves but was late because she was helping the host club. As her footsteps draw nearer whilst the finalists are in the hotel, everyone’s girlfriends start gravitating towards a specific point, with the footsteps only getting louder. She finally appears and everyone’s girlfriends surround her, but she has lost the ability see them. Shinpachi and Gintoki scream at her to give their girlfriends back. Shiyue, not knowing what they're talking about, asks if they're schizophrenic. Everyone exclaims, trying to grab at thin air around her. Unbeknownst to her, the game characters have gone feral, not allowing anyone to separate them from her. Amused, she declares that she has a harem of “bitches” caused by hallucinations with such a handsome smile that the girlfriends break and fade into oblivion from the light and sheer power of it. The otaku are all cleansed, deciding to choose better lives and temporarily gain handsome features, becoming die-hard fans of her, questioning their sexuality.
===Renho===
Katsura informs the Odd Jobs that Elizabeth has gone missing and the five begin their search for him. They then head to outer space with Sakamoto in search of Elizabeth and to protect the earth from being controlled by the Renho. They infiltrate the spaceship of the Renho and find out that Rlizabeth is actually part of the Renho tribe and is gathering information in order to take over earth. They then discover that elizabeth is actually helping them and the true villain is the death star Sagi. While Sakamoto and Shiyue turn the whole Renho tribe to their side, they are not enough to take down Sagi. Mutsu then transforms their spaceship into a transformer-like thingy, and Shiyue is asked to control the crotch before switching with Gintoki due to her being a minor.
After Sagi's defeat, all except Katsura are brainwashed by the Renho tribe to forget everything. While Katsura brings along uno to bid a last farewell to Elizabeth, the Odd Jobs and Kaientai show up, revealing that their memories are still there. Surprisingly, Elizabeth appears again and Katsura explains that Elizabeth is actually two people taking shifts.
===Vacation===
Shiyue goes on vacation to a ski slope with the rest of the Odd Jobs, accompanied by Rhys and is busy trying to create a natural disaster with him - an avalanche and kill all who stood underneath because she was bored. A nearby guard asks her to knock it off but she gestures for Rhys to throw frozen rocks before launching him into the Shogun’s helicopter, saying this was all going to plan. It’s revealed that she was trying to make a Rube Goldberg project and the man was the perfect catalyst. The avalanche then fails her, falling on top of her, but she makes it out, rolling her and Rhys into a snowball before stopping in front of the near dead guard. She heals him and uses his legs as ski’s, following Gintoki and Hijikata, Rhys quickly knocking someone nearby out and doing the same. Hijikata anxiously asks who the man she’s using as a ski is but she says that asking her would be treason. Gintoki yells at Rhys and tells him to stop stalking Shiyue. She tries to defend him but Okikagu and Katsura soon join, causing everyone to collide with each other.
Everyone’s alive and in one piece, except for the Shogun, and they’re all stranded. Shiyue helps make a fire by generating some in her hand, gaining the awe of all around her. Kondou asks her how she did it and she explains that she took the life of the guard and turned it into a fire - everyone turns to the guard, and his body is cold and undeniably dead. Gintoki kicks her and yells at her to give it back, and if she were to transform anyone’s life into fire, it should be Hijikata’s. The two begin to argue and Rhys resurrects the guard, smiling.
They then start to plan out how they will find the Shogun and whether they’ll get away with the humanboard incident. Shiyue tells them not to worry and that her papa will take care of everything, reminding everyone her adoptive father is the emperor. She whispers to Rhys that he’s most likely dead and will bring about the end of the shogunate, smiling. Rhys does not quite understand Japanese politics but supports her. Now reassured, they send the naked Kondo to search for him, giving him their mitts. He tries to ask for the fallen guard’s clothes, but Shiyue refuses, saying that robbing people is a horrible thing for someone who’s already a tax robber to do. He refutes this by saying she killed him and Shiyue tells Rhys to punch him in the face, causing him to finally depart. Now stranded in the icy cold wilderness, the Odd Jobs come across Hijikata and Sougo making a shelter out of snow. Gintoki and Kagura poke fun at it while Shiyue still has flowers blooming around her, refusing to leave. Hijikata and Shinpachi cling to her in hopes of staying warm but are beaten off by Rhys. Hijikata demands to know who Rhys is and he doesn’t respond.
They come across what seems to be bigfoot’s cave and then a cave of bloodthirsty amanto, and when they return, the fire has been snuffed out. Shiyue says that they’re left with no choice and she’ll take forty years off everyone’s life to help light the fire, earning nothing but angry responses. Things only appear to be getting worse for them when a bear shows up, and Shinpachi slips, about to fall off a cliff. The bear saves him and asks if he’s all right, revealing himself to be the Shogun in a bear suit. Panicking, Otae kicks him off the cliff to save her brother. Following this, they manage to make it to the cabin that the Shogun found, finding Kondo who now feels indebted to him for saving him in the middle of that blizzard, and they manage to retrieve the Shogun thanks to Rhys. With everything that has happened, the shogun has begun to lose faith in his right to rule, with Katsura quietly encouraging to offer his life up to the storm raging outside. They all decide to huddle together with the Shogun in the middle to stay warm, but leave Shiyue on the outside because her flowers take up space. Kagura and Otae start saying something stinks, so the Shogun removes his suit, but the smell doesn’t go away.
Rhys asks how things can smell when flowers are actively blooming but Shiyue traces the smell to the Shogun’s crotch, saying that there’s nearly no life energy in his crotch but reassures him, saying that the emperor’s crotch has been dead for as long as she’s known him, causing Shinpachi to shut her up in case they get executed for lèse-majesté. They then accidentally send the Shogun airborne and toward the Shinsengumi rescue team.
===Scandal===
Shiyue drinks with the rest of the Odd Jobs, ingesting crazy amounts of milk tea. She hops around different bars with the group and accidentally drinks some alcohol and, at the fourth bar in yoshiwara, Rhys picks her up after Kyubei drunkenly calls him, still being able to realize that Shiyue would be punished by the emperor for this. He hulls her back to the imperial palace and tucks her in. She joins the rest of Gintoki’s friends in laughing at the recording of him.
===Host Club===
Kyoushirou states that he will quit his job as a host to open a plastic model shop and Odd Jobs would be his last customers. They disagree with his decision, asking what made him decide to quit. Hachirou telks them about a lady known as Madam Yagami and reveals all the staff have quit. They agree to help Kyoushirou by being the new hosts for Takamagahara. Hasegawa, Otae, and Kondo join them as backup, much to Kyoushirou's worry.
As the Odd Jobs begin their trysts to find handsome men, she's finished cross-dressing and calls upon her squad of men as well as Rhys and brandishes them to Kyoushiro. He freaks out, saying he couldn't possibly accept workers from the Imperial palace because of Rhys' intimidation. They then set their efforts to attracting customers, and Shiyue joins Kagura and Shinpachi, saying the fallen feather has to belong to her because she is really is an angel on earth. Kagura pinches her and Shiyue backs up, striking a pose, and immediately gains a horde, both male and female, much to Rhys’ chagrin. However, she is arrested by the Shinsengumi, who are attacked by her harem. They manage to beat them off and Shiyue exclaims for Rhys or someone to release her, angry her side didn't get arrested. Kyoushiro informs those gathered that they will simply be the help for the help, Okita and Hijikata. Shiyue is beyond angry and tells him he's making a serious mistake. He tries to tell her that her customers would go to jail for behind pedophiles, but she doesn't listen, forcing Rhys' hand to entertain her by playing paddy cake in the corner.
When the customers start to pour in, Shiyue hangs around Takato as a depressed third wheel and interrupts his flirting. She sneers at him and falls into a laughing fit, growing flowers all over the land, and shining a brilliant light that blinds all. Hiro knocks her out until she slowly wakes up again in a few seconds. The trannies show up and drive out all the customers and give Shiyue such a fright that her sparkling flowers start to disintegrate and she once again passes out. Yuudai desperately tries to shake her awake when the trannies begin fighting so she can cancel out the disgust and chaos they bring, explaining that it's simply PEMDAS. Whilst they fight, someone's body is thrown on her, effectively killing her. Hiro, Takato, and Yuudai worry what Rhys will do to them if he sees her dead so they try and revive her. He catches them, however, but Madame Yagami arrives at the exact same time and Shiyue miraculously revives herself. She pats them on the back and calmly drinks watermelon juice, like a baby after taking a nap.
Gin tries to stabilize the situation by discussing their favorite Dragon Ball characters, but Shiyue makes fun of him for being a Dragon Ball fan. She and Rhys talk and they then discuss whether or not water is wet which leads to a brawl, but Sougo arrives and starts to sweet talk them as he prepares a champagne tower with tequila in hopes of getting them all absolutely wasted. The tequila immediately takes out Toushi, Gintoki, and Sougo, but it does absolutely nothing for the others. Madame Yagami prepares to leave, not wanting Kyoushiro to see her face as it is now, going on to give her sob story. As she steps out, a familiar voice greets her, and with the others inside and his fellow hosts at his back, he invites her to the Takamagahara for a third visit.
==Gintama': Enchōsen==
===Kintama===
Having just returned from a six-month vacation, Gintoki returns home but finds that he is not exactly the protagonist anymore and he has been replaced by his antithesis - Kintoki. Shiyue is very attached to Kintoki, so much so that she would’ve breathed life into him had Gengai not protested. She’s always clinging to him, loving his wise teachings and admiring him. When Gintoki beats Kintoki over the head with a dictionary, Shiyue punches him into oblivion, ordering Rhys to “beat the shit out of him” if he ever turns up again. Kintoki then calms her down and leads them back home. A few days later, Gintoki jumps off a building to save someone else jumping off a building, and as if her body was moving on its own, she, Shinpachi, Kagura, and Sadaharu break his fall.
Gintoki seemingly gives up on winning them back, proud that the Odd Jobs would jump in save someone without second thought. From this point, they begin to have doubts in Kintoki being the Odd Jobs leader they know. They reflect upon their sadness, wondering if they have forgotten someone important. In the end, Shiyue convinces Gintoki not to destroy kintoki, saying he was just programmed to be like this and can’t help himself. Even after this event, she’s close with Kintoki.
===Courtesan of the Night===
Shiyue helps her friends research who the man Suzuran lent a piece of her hair to, asking Rhys if he’d ever seen someone with a lock of hair wound around their pinky. They finally find out that Suzuran was no longer able to serve her wealthy customers due to being chosen to serve a certain man, whom they believe is the promise man: the former Shogun. They travel to the palace and Shiyue introduces herself as the imperial princess, brandishing her imperial chrysanthemum seal and the majestic Yata-no-kagami mirror which is one of the three regalia’s of Japan. Kagura then asks if Shiyue is able to summon Soyo.
Soyo and Kagura chat before she reveals that because of a string of attacks on bakufu officials, the palace was under martial law. The princess' retainer, the one-armed, elderly Maizo, tries and fails to tell the girls to play quietly and Tsukuyo decides that they should play "kick the can" to distract the protectors and be able to move around the building freely. Shiyue kicks the can lightly, but under Gintoki and Shinpachi’s horrified gaze, the current Shogun, Shige Shige, appears in the can's trajectory and gets knocked unconscious. Gintoki grabs Shiyue’s collar but is surrounded by the Mimawarigumi who tell him to unhand “Her Imperial Highness”, which causes Gintoki to nervously listen. The previous shogun chooses this time to visit while Isaburo fills them all in. A maid comes by to escort Shiyue away, saying the shogun has things to discuss with her, so she leaves, still listening in on the conversation due to her keen hearing. She is settled in a luxurious room and distracted by servants who say they will pamper her as there is a banquet she must attend to tomorrow.
She doesn’t complain, enjoying the attention, and falling sound asleep on the comfortable, incredibly large bed. Rhys wakes her and informs her that her friends are set to be executed, causing her to jolt awake. She quickly gets dressed as Rhys fills her in before he disappears. Shiyue throws on some clothes and rushes to find the captives, thanking the lord that she’s managed to wrestle some of the shogun’s authority away from him. Before, the emperor was more of a puppet for the shogunate, but Shiyue had secured the emperor’s position and power. The Joi not only wanted the amanto out - they’d been calling for unity under imperial rule for years, and Shiyue had finally managed to put some change into motion, allowing herself to appear more and more proactive in state affairs as the emperor was too soft.
She rallies some people with her seal and appears at the jail as the palace guards sound the alarm of the group's escape with one of them informing Sada Sada and Shige Shige in hiding, who overheard the two older men's conversation. Rhys knocks the guards unconscious and the Odd Jobs chastise her for being so late and Shiyue admits that she most likely would’ve slept through their execution, inciting their anger. They gather on a rooftop and promise each other to stay alive, culminating in Gintoki, Shiyue, Shinpachi, Kagura, and Tsukuyo wrapping each other's hair strands around their fingers. Shiyue leads them to where Sada Sada is, who berates them for defiling the government. Nobume calls for his arrest in the killing of government officials but the man responds that he is above the law. Tsukuyo answers back that he's not above Yoshiwara's laws and as its enforcer, he will be punished for hurting both Suzuran and Maizo. Sada Sada reiterates that he is above the law but, in amusement, gives an armless Maizo back to them and harasses him.
Gintoki abruptly attacks the man in a fit of rage and Sada Sada is barely saved by Oboro. Shiyue heals the weakened Maizo, growing his arm back, drawing the shock of the spectators. She then rises to her feet as Tsukuyo and Nobume fight the assassins while Gintoki fights Oboro. Shiyue coolly tells Sada Sada that the age of the shogunate is coming to a close and that the age of modern politics will come forth. She makes fun of him for being a coward for opening their doors wide open to the amanto whilst other countries tried fighting them off for much longer. She smacks him and then races away, nabbing the Shogun and informing him of the current situation. He orders the police forces to stop his crazed uncle, and together with the Imperial Princess of First Rank, a woman only below the emperor and empress. Together, they set out to right his uncles wrongs, with Shiyue princess carrying him to speed things up.
Once they arrive on the scene, Shiyue watches as the shogun decides to confront his uncle, declaring him the true traitor to the country. An enraged Sada Sada declares himself the father of modern Japan after he both "raised" the orphaned Shige Shige and "saved" Japan. A naraku ship explodes and the Tendoushuu arrive, Shiyue questioning a member why a galactic force cares about some old, dying man in a minuscule country. They decline her question. Shiyue then makes a giant altana crystal the size of sadaharu and tells them she’ll give it to them if they turn a blind eye. She tells them to go fetch and tosses it on their ship and they scramble to get it, saying they didn’t see a thing. Shiyue reassures that albeit its giant size, it only has enough altana in it to make an amoeba. Later, she plays kick the can in Isaburo’s room and earns his favor, exchanging numbers. She then departs, exhausted, saying she has to take care of the government which is currently in a mess. She explains that the sovereigns have gone lazy after so many years of simply twiddling their thumbs, so she must clean up their messes and act for them. Shortly afterwards, Shiyue is announced to be heir of the throne and crown princess.
==Gintama°==
===Dekoboko===
Shiyue is turned into an incredibly attractive eighteen-year-old teenager, exuding a handsome, cold laziness and attracts a harem of men and women who she actively flirts with, amassing a large crowd. She spots Yamazaki and accidentally trips into him, apologizing and hugging him before he can fall, pulling him up, and asking if he’s alright. She wipes some dirt off his face apologetically and murmurs that she’s never seen such a beautiful woman before. Gintoki, recognizing her aura, kicks her and sends her into the ground, yet she manages to shield Yamazaki at the last second. Setting him down, she gets up angrily, asking why he had to do that. Shocked, she steps forward, grabbing Gintoki’s chin, staring deep into his eyes, and sadly remarking that he’s gone through much pain. She picks up his hand and places a kiss on it, saying that she can be his medicine.
The crowd begins getting angry, yelling obscenities at both Gintoki and Yamazaki. The only thing stopping Gintoki from throwing himself into her arms is the fact that he views her as a rebellious daughter. He smacks her upside the head and yells at her, telling her to not flirt with Gin-san. Shocked, Shiyue calls him Ginny and asks what happened to him. He angrily asks what happened to her instead, wondering how she got a harem and aged so quickly. Shiyue simply smiles melancholically, causing some of her harem to faint, and says this is her true form, generating a light so bright it put the sun to shame. He tells her to knock it off and drags her away from her harem to meet up with Otae when alarms sound. The female Shinsengumi arrive and Shiyue pins him to the wall, seducing him, when he brings up public defecation. She immediately ceases her attacks. She then moves onto Sougo, plucking a flower blooming around her, and asks him for his name. Upon learning his identity, she moves on to her final target, Hijikata, taking one simple look and ignoring him, earning angry shouts from him.
Soon, the entire Shinsengumi, except for the main three, are all additions to her harem. She tells her beauties she will keep them away from the evil Dekoboko cultists. Armed with girls, they travel into an alleyway and ultimately decide to break into groups and hack into cameras despite loud complains from the Shinsengumi members not wanting to leave Shiyue. They meet Gintoki’s harem and travel into the sewers and Shiyue, along with the other ‘boys’, coolly shows off her skills. Disgusted, the Dekoboko leave and everyone panics. Shiyue points out only the men are freaking out and that proves how useless they are, demonstrating even further by having three girls massage her shoulders. They then head to the cult’s next destination, get hit by the ray, and kill the cultists and destroy the weapon.
===Shinigami===
Shiyue and the rest of the Odd Jobs capture Asaemon. In revenge for touching her sacred mask, she cuts off Gintoki's nipple, to his anger and horror. Shiyue gravely says he’s on his own and he begins beating her. They take Asaemon to the ikeda mansion where Yaemon waits for them. The Odd Jobs are shown around the house, including the collection of skeletal heads (plus one certain nipple) while Shinpachi worries for Asaemon, believing that they may be punishing her. It turns out they did nothing and, in fact, she had cooked their meal as thanks for bringing her back safe and sound. The younger yaemon reveals that he was the previous head's son while Asaemon was adopted. The two were trained by him, leading to the two most likely becoming the next head, but it was discovered that the predecessor had freed some criminals slated for execution in the past. In order to make sure the Ikeda name would not be sullied, it was decided that he should be executed by Asaemon. When his death became public, Asaemon decided to take the blame and paint herself as a traitor, putting on the guise as a shinigami. The younger Yaemon said that she was a loyal retainer who loved her clan.
Shiyue, though, deduces that even though Asaemon also took the blame for the murders, she wasn't behind them - Yaemon himself was. Yaemon confirms it and adds that the victims were actually the escaped criminals. The murders were done to right the wrong the previous Yaemon committed. Now that Yaemon has told them the truth, they must help Asaemon or be the next victims. Shiyue tells him that him doing so means that the previous head died for naught. Yaemon reveals a paper with the names of the escaped criminals, one of which reads "Sakata Gintoki". The next day, they board a ship and the young trio wait outside whilst Gintoki adds to his harem. They wonder why he was at the prison in the first place, besides being a Joui patriot. Shinpachi states that they were forced into this trap and that most likely after helping Asaemon, they would be killed. Shiyue reassures them and tells them she’ll grant them state funerals and Shinpachi yells at her. They are then interrupted by the arrival of Okita and Hijikata who wish to inspect the ship.
Gintoki’s talk is interrupted by Hijikata and Okita's arrival while the trio try and stop them, forcing Gintoki to hide in Asaemon's crate. Okita reveals that he and Hijikata realized that the victims were former Joui patriots or people linked to them meant to be killed during the purge at the end of the Joui War 10 years ago. Okita concludes that Gintoki and corpses of those murdered by the serial killer were sold to the Hitotsubashi faction by Yaemon to curry favor to the potential next shogun, Nobu Nobu. As he finishes, a large ship docks next to the smaller ship and a group of men from the faction confront the others. She helps fight the men. Shiyue is busy the next day, trying to help resolve political tensions and not have the Odd Jobs be sentenced to death.
===Confessional===
Shiyue visits the confessional booth after Kagura but it’s obvious who she is due to her golden aura. She insults her boss, calling him a disrespectful prick, and admits that she threw a mop at Shinpachi out of anger and nearly killed him. She then entrusted it to him as a murder weapon and he threw it at one of Gintoki’s model figures.
===Soul Switch===
Kagura and Shinpachi chase Gintoki out of the Odd Jobs for spending their wages on gambling, helped by Shiyue and Rhys. Meanwhile, Hijikata disciplines Yamazaki for relaxing during a stakeout and chases him out of a restaurant. Gintoki and Hijikata cross paths on the road and are consequently hit by a truck passing by. Shiyue heals them both, but realizes that they've sustained no injuries.
When Shiyue arrives at Odd Jobs with Shinpachi, the two of them are smashed past a door, "Gintoki" reprimanding them for being so late, Kagura and Sadaharu already being forced to kneel. He tells them both to commit seppuku due to lack of discipline. After forcing them to kneel and chewing them out, he writes the Yoruzuya code and offers to pay back the wages and rent, resulting in Kagura kicking him out the door, Shiyue crying and hugging a shocked Rhys' leg in terror and demanding her punch her so she can wake up, and Otose announcing to the town that a meteorite was going to hit the town, due to the sudden windfall and the drastic change in Gintoki's behaviour. After he calms things down and shows them his checkbook, the trio dutifully kneel to him and refer to him as "President".
Hijikata and Gintoki then meet on a bridge in town, their respective groups follow them. Shiyue is dressed in the traditional, blue attire, hair dun in a simple ballet bun, followed by Shinpachi and Rhys, her formerly unruly flowers now becoming organized Jasmine ones. She disdainfully calls the group of hooligans a disgrace to the shogunate and takes the opportunity to slander the Shogun before revealing her fans, and in unison with Shinpachi, she says that as the "commander of Odd Jobs Squad 0", they will adhere to the code of Odd Jobs and slay evil immediately. Okita and Kagura blow up the bridge in defending their leader, but Rhys quietly saves the Odd Jobs members.
The Odd Jobs then run into the Shinsengumi dragging around "Gintoki" on their motorcycles and Shiyue slices the rope tying Gintoki to the car, freeing him, leading the Imperial guard behind her. She heals Gintoki and helps him on her shoulder as the two groups confront each other. One thing leads to another, and they begin fighting, but are stopped by their respective leaders mid-charge. A rebellion begins, Shiyue saying they took an oath to follow the Odd Jobs code and not their president and re-ensue their fighting. A naked, giant cat walks out of the store, drawing everyone's attention and ceasing the fight, and they decide to join forces to slay the evil being. The cat fights against them, knocking Shiyue into Rhys. It leaves, smelling new pachinko machines, and Gengai arrives to explain the situation, as Shinpachi, Kagura, Shiyue, Rhys, Kondo, and Sougo are all hit by a truck.
Shiyue wakes up in the body of Rhys and awakens his inner shonen manga protagonist, acting incredibly naive and happy-go-lucky. Rhys, in her body, asks what's going on, but she decides to give him a speech about how it's alright now, she forgives him, and he will join on her adventures. She then screams as an inner demon takes over her, introducing itself as Wofjow, a heinous creature that has terrorized people for centuries and also created the universe. It escapes the imperial palace and half-way, she manages to quell the demon, instead feeling the urge to go on a quest to find the One Piece Igneel Martial Arts Championship. Rhys falls onto Shiyue's body, giving a light damsel-in-distress scream, and falls on the floor of the abandoned warehouse where the cat and everyone else is gathered, uncontrollable flowers blooming around. He blushes furiously and innocently gazes up at Shiyue, expecting something, but she, as a typical shonen lead, is incredibly dense, and ignores him, telling him that his dying grandfather's cousin's ex-wife's friend's son's wish was for her to pass the Hunter Chunin Hero exam.
Rhys, now disgruntled, slaps Shiyue for taking her first time and refusing to take responsibility. She runs away in tears but bumps into "Hijikata", who angrily asks "Rhys" what he did to her. Shiyue unknowingly instigates the fight further with her naivety and "Gintoki" has to remind "Hijikata" that they've definitely swapped bodies as well. Otae asks everyone why they're all behaving so strangely and to further prove her point, Shiyue dramatically keels over the ground and keeps talking to herself to calm her inner demon and Rhys refuses to stop talking about how he needs to go to the nurse's office. However, they both halt the theatrics and help with taking down the cat.
===Afro===
The Odd Jobs listen as Katsura talks about his infiltration into the Shinsengumi, and in the middle of it, Saitou rings the doorbell. Katsura hides but Saitou bursts through the window, not saying a word, taking a shit and then leaving behind a simple letter. Rhys read it aloud, the letter detailing Saitou’s chronic social awkwardness. They send letter’s back and forth to help Saitou and believe it is the end for Katsura - however, this isn’t the case, and a month later, he has revealed to become a central part of the Shinsengumi.
Saitou has been set up for execution by Katsura and the Odd Jobs come to his aid, talking through him via a speaker in his shirt. Their cover is almost blown when Shiyue angrily tells Rhys to stop plucking her flowers. Kagura makes it worse by speaking with her broken Japanese, forcing them to have Saitou act as a foreigner. Saitou and Katsura get into an altercation, and with the goading of the three, it ends quickly.
===Feigned Illness===
Rhys is her bodyguard stationed by the emperor but is the head of the 5th Harusame Squad shrouded in mystery and was there to spy
Shiyue is screaming and crying, being restrained by Rhys, who has locked her in a room with bars on the window, saying she can’t leave until she’s finished the mountain of paperwork originally for the emperor that has been passed off to her as the real one. She is crying literal blood and accuses Rhys of being disloyal, saying she’ll force him to commit seppuku. She says she doesn’t give a shit about Japan and simply wants them to be nicer to China. He ignores her with his selective hearing when someone knocks on the door with a message for her. He gives her the stink eye and opens the door himself, and listens to the messenger who tells her that Kagura has fainted and is in the hospital.
Shiyue, seeing an opportunity, coughs out a mouthful of blood and races past the crack in the door. Rhys chases after her angrily, asking how she can run so fast in a dress, and after running for ten miles and throwing things at each other with the Imperial guard following her. She manages to get them off her tail, and absolutely exhausted, crashes through the window of Kagura’s hospital, all injuries healing instantaneously but still looking incredibly horrific with glass piercing her skin.
She sobs uncontrollably by her bed, mostly because of her stress, for a few minutes in silence, before she spots Soyo and realizes Kagura is still alive. She immediately begins plotting and stands on the side as Soyo plans a state funeral for Kagura with a tanning-style coffin and Shiyue says nothing, merely smirking. Rhys suddenly appears and drags her away, muffling her screaming, confusing all gathered, asking if they’d just seen her get kidnapped in real time.
At the funeral, Shiyue has some hidden Imperial guards take as many photos to use as evidence against the shogunate. She covers her face with her fan, hiding her sneer, and places a flower inside Kagura’s ear canal, thanking her for the opportunity she’s present. Kagura yells at her in her mind.
She takes numerous photos of the odd funeral rite and along with Gintoki and Shinpachi, stop it to return her umbrella and bid their final farewell. As Gintoki apologizes to her, Kagura realizes how much he cares for her and accidentally apologizes out loud; the crowd discovers that Kagura is alive. This caused Gintoki and Shinpachi to feign illness as well, due to how much money they have received for her funeral. This made everyone so angry that they tied the Odd Jobs trio and sent them straight to the crematory.
Days later, tabloids are full of the stupidity of the Shogun’s sister, and the public opinion of the shogunate is drastically lowered.
===Cult Incident===
Shiyue wakes up in a room filled with the cheers of people. She is unable to see, standing pin straight, dressed in odd clothes, something heavy weighing her head down. She remains still and listens to the conversation around her. A man’s tearful voice booms across the room, meaning it must be large, speaking in a foreign language she somehow understands, telling them that their Saintess has returned and all their troubles will be lost. He continues to talk about a Saintess and earns loud cheers and the world fades to black again.
She is kept in a large room that she cannot get out of and she can finally see her surroundings, noting the odd furniture that doesn’t belong to Earth. She deduces that she is on another planet. She checks a mirror, seeing how she is dressed in a flowing white dress, and her hair is free-flowing, a crown made of precious metal on the top of her head. Shiyue, bored from politics, decides to say until a man comes into her room and kneels, with light green skin, large eyes, and odd ears, like the creatures from Avatar.
He welcomes her return and asks if she may bless him. She asks him how exactly she’s supposed to do that and then for him to explain why she’s here, quickly adding that she’s an amnesiac. He reveres her as the great Saint of Khailaz who has helped thousands around the galaxy by healing them from incurable illnesses and bringing life to desolate places. He had heard tales of her from members of the Church on Earth and investigated her, bringing her back to her rightful place.
Shiyue nods and moves towards the window to escape, convinced he’s crazy, when bangles around her wrist stop her from moving, her own body not listening to her. She asks him what he’s done and he gravely says the Church members scattered across the universe are all aware of her second coming and will be coming for mass everyday, so she mustn’t leave. After sleeping and eating, she gives a sermon and regrows lost limbs for people all against her will.
At Odd Jobs, they’re angry that she’s flaking on the job, and after a few hours, they decide to go to the palace to find her. They easily get in with their statuses as her friends and find out that she’s disappeared from an anxious Rhys. The emperor submits a missing person’s report and has the entirety of Edo look for her. Rhys is set for execution due to failing to protect the princess but uses his connections through the Harusame to locate where she is. The Odd Jobs are worried sick, and the next day, they hop on a ship to find her, confused how a bodyguard got so much money.
Meanwhile, day in and day out, Shiyue is busy giving sermons and hopping from planet to planet. She has accepted her new life and doesn’t mind it because of how peaceful it is but does miss her companions back at Edo. People must pay great deals of money and sign away their lives to be given a chance to be visited by her.
The Odd Jobs watch a sermon of her and are shell-shocked, refusing to believe it’s her. Once they land on a planet, Shiyue has already left, making it incredibly difficult for them. Finally, she heads to Earth, regrowing a desolate forest, gaining more members to join the cult. The squad appears as she is broadcasted playing an alien instrument and singing a hymn, Gintoki knocking her out and Shinpachi catching her. They announce that no selfish, arrogant twelve-year-old could possibly be a Saint and free her, taking her back home.
The leader of the cult watches and laughs.
===Shogun Assassination===
Shiyue joins the Odd Jobs in acting as body doubles for the Shogun, having gotten into a spat with a Shinsengumi member about whether or not she was responsible for the attempts on the Shogun’s life. She proudly says that if she wished to kill him, she would’ve done it herself and not used a proxy. Many people still suspect her.
In the morning, Matsudaira shares the complete plan of escape. The real Shige Shige will travel to Kyo by airship. To throw his enemies off, three doubles will stay in Edo and travel by land and sea. Since the land route will be the most likely attacked, the best fighters: Kondou, Hijikata, the Odd Jobs, and ninja including Sarutobi, will be the ones to protect the double who is revealed to be Gintoki. This greatly annoys the Shinsengumi duo who end up being forced to become Gintoki's servants for their insubordination to the "Shogun". The oblivious Shinsengumi protect the Edo double but wonder where Okita has disappeared to.
The Odd Jobs annoy Hijikata with requests when they are informed that the guards from behind have been killed. Hijikata asks where her guard dog is and Shiyue says she doesn’t know. Sarutobi immediately kills the informants and a fight ensues, with her saying the enemy has also integrated shinobi into their warriors. They’re then attacked by white ninja and the group is splintered. As Sarutobi saves them, she reveals that their attackers all came from the Iga, who unlike the Oniwabanshuu, were mercenaries and held no loyalty to the shogunate. The four run away as Sarutobi wonders who amassed such a force except for the three leaders of the Iga.
The Iga surround Sarutobi and Gintoki, as Rappa threatens to kill Shinpachi and Shiyue unless they bring the Shogun. Gaimon reveals that the Iga village was attacked by the Yato Division six months ago and forced to cooperate with them with the distinction of becoming the new Oniwabanshuu to the new government. Rappa then gives word that Hattori had just killed the Shogun, hogging the glory. Gaimon does not care as he crushes Kagura underfoot and orders his men to kill everyone, before losing his balance. It turns out an Iga ninja cut off Gaimon's leg that was on Kagura and another ninja cuts the chain holding up Shinpachi. The two ninja were really Hijikata and Kondou, who adds that there is one person that they would take orders from. Gaimon is horrified to see the ninja group and Rappa turning against him; the bandaged woman also adds that she was already following someone else's orders. This person, dressed as a ninja, arrives and to Sarutobi, the Odd Jobs and Gaimon's shock, is Shige Shige, alive and well.
The Shogun struggles with the fact that his friends and retainers were dying while he could do nothing but flee. Gintoki consoles him by stating that Hattori will survive thanks to their buddy (Sarutobi) and Shige Shige himself will survive thank to his buddies (Odd Jobs) just as four Yato burst through the walkway's roof to surround them. Gintoki, Shiyue, and Kagura fight against them whilst Shinpachi and Shige Shige make a run for it. The six meet up on the ground, including Hijikata and Kondou, to see the walkway they were on completely filled by the 7th division. The Shinsengumi duo and the Odd Jobs admit that they will risk their lives for the Shogun but refuse to die together. Shinpachi and Shige Shige mainly flee while the others fight off the Yato; the five sustain injuries and are even saved at one point by the Shogun's kunai throws.
Shiyue begins healing people, peeved that she must take a backseat, when Abuto arrives. He admits his surprise that his division was having trouble against them, and for doing so, he will wipe them out just like the ninja he was fighting against sometime before, holding up (unbeknownst to him) puppet Momochi's head which explodes.
As the group runs towards a bridge, Momochi gives directions to a statue that leads to a secret exit out of the ninja lands so they can escape with the shogun. Halfway across, she destroys the bridge, separating the Odd Jobs and Shige Shige from her, saying that she would stall the Yato division while they escape. Hijikata and Kondou, who were accidentally caught in her attack and trapped on her side of the bridge, decide to help and give the Odd Jobs the "job" of protecting the Shogun. Gintoki accepts the "job" and they and the Shogun run off, stating they will make it back alive.
Shiyue engages in fighting Abuto, telling him he’s a literal eyesore and giving her a migraine while Kagura and Gintoki run down the cliff towards Kamui and Takasugi respectively. He smiles and vaguely tells her that perhaps in a past life. He asks her why she’s fighting for the Shogun if she disdains him so much and she responds that she hates his position, not the person himself, and that she simply wants to be with her newfound family.
He kicks her in the gut, giving her horrible internal bleeding, remarking that he hates beating up children. He continues fighting her, distancing her further and further away from the cliff and from her companions. He watches with raised eyebrows as her wounds heal and says it really is her. Shiyue asks him if he’s a cultist and he laughs and says no. He taunts her and asks where her guard dog is, to which Shiyue replies that she doesn’t know. Abuto answers that he isn’t who she thinks he is and she was naive to trust him. Shiyue responds by ripping off Abuto’s prosthetic and regrowing a new arm for him, saying she will trust Rhys no matter what, before lopping his hand off which quickly regrows, giving him a temporary healing factor in order to fairly fight her.
Abuto shakes his head and tells her to look in the say, Naraku spaceships and Tendoushu docking on the island. She gasped and tries to run to help but is knocked out by Abuto out of fear for her safety, him explaining he guided her away during the fight to keep her safe.
When she awakes in an unfamiliar bed, she explodes, this being her third time getting kidnapped. She finds out that she’s in a spaceship and successfully hijacks it, rerouting it to Earth. When she returns, she finds out that not only has Shige Shige passed away, but her father emperor as well. She is quickly coronated, without time to meet up with Odd Jobs, and now much, much busier than she ever was before. She offhandedly mentions missing Rhys and begins making plans.
===Farewell, Shinsengumi===
Her coronation banquet is held a few days following the shogun’s funeral and she is successfully declared Emperor of Japan. She is constantly hounded and followed by the representatives of Satchou Alliance, Saigo Takato and Itou Hiro, as well as one from the shogunate, Yuudai, all boys around her age constantly by her side for political reasons. She spends her days locked within the Kyoto Imperial palace, sometimes doing Shinto ceremonies. Shiyue, after writing incredibly dark poetry about suicidal thoughts with the language of a three-year-old, finally loses it and smashes her brush in half, screaming that the men around her are insufferable, she wants Rhys back and to see the Odd Jobs, and how all the people watching her in the shadows pisses her off. Isaburo, from the shadows, tells her to calm down, but this serves to only further incite her anger, causing her to throw a massive tantrum despite the boys trying to calm her down. She is essentially trapped in the palace and left with her own thoughts, taking to the kitchen to make Chinese mooncakes. The boys are still trying to get into her good graces, maybe becoming her consort, and assist her, something she greatly appreciates since she's chronically clumsy in the kitchen. Takato, while helping her fill in a mooncake, tries to make conversation and peeve Yuudai, mentioning that the shogun’s dogs were successfully disbanded and their leader set to be killed.
Shocked, she drops a knife on her foot, and while actively bleeding, demands to know more info. After discovering both Katsura and Kondou have been thrown into a distant prison, she escapes the palace, followed by the trio. She yells at them that if they try and "snitch", she'll personally murder them and drink their blood like soup. They manage to keep up with her and, after her incessant complaining, find her a ship to sail to the island.
Shiyue thanks them and relishes the ride, basking in the wind and saying she’d missed the feeling of freedom. She takes off the emperor’s crown and asks for Hiro to massage her shoulders. When he doesn’t reply, she turns around, and spots a shadowy figure, who asks how she’s replaced him so fast, revealing himself to be Rhys. Shiyue asks him why he left, cautious. He explains he had some business to attend to and now he’s back, coming over to massage her shoulders.
She asks what he’s done to her men and he replies that he simply put them to sleep for a short while. She melancholically tells him that she wanted to die without him to entertain her and tells him to never leave again, to which he agrees to. Their ship is then blown up by Mimawarigumi cannons and Shiyue angrily swims to shore, carrying Yuudai and Hiro on her back whilst Rhys lugs Takato to the island on her request.
When she reaches the shore, she angrily says she will have the Mimawarigumi put to death, shivering from the cold. Rhys asks her why she didn’t use an imperial ship and Shiyue says she’d rather die than be in something that flies the rising sun. She leaves her boy toys and scales the mountain quickly with Rhys, cursing the world and cursing the fact that she has to wear “this stupid fucking crown”.
There is sounds of a distant battle and when she reaches the top of the cliff, she sees that the Naraku, Shinsengumi, and Odd Jobs are all fighting. She slams her crown into the stomach of a Naraku and knocks him out with the weight, calling out to Rhys that she deserves an award for being able to wear such a thing on her head. Odd Jobs cry out in happiness at her arrival, expecting her to have brought some of the Imperial guard with her, but Shiyue says that she left them at home because they were pissing her off.
She is kicked into the ground and heavily reprimanded while she protests that she isn’t the enemy they should be attacking. Shiyue pushes them all away, discovering that the crown has been lost, and has a mental breakdown as some people murmur about why the emperor is there. She kills people left and right, heads rolling, anxiously searching for the crown, yelling at Rhys to come help her.
He finds the crown in the midst of the forest, brushing it off and giving it back to her for her to wear. She decides to look for Katsura since she can see his life energy signature a ways away from her. They find him and kill the remaining Naraku in the forest, discovering Isaburo’s plan to wipe out the government. Shiyue smiles and says that he was doing so because of her, taking credit, Rhys pinching her to shut up.
Suddenly, she feels an incredibly menacing pressure and begins shaking, demanding to know if anyone else felt it too. Besides Rhys, no one else had. She tells them they must retreat lest they all be slaughtered. Hijikata reassures her that he has a flare and shoots it, alerting everyone. They race through the forest, fighting off Naraku attackers, saving Isaburo. They meet up with Gintoki’s group and Isaburo kills Kondou.
Cannon-fire suddenly hits the island and Shiyue is horrified to see ships using the rising sun flag are coming towards them, followed by Mimawarigumi ships containing both police groups, led by Matsudaira and her demonic regent - Kaito. Her head begins splitting, memories trying to ebb out, and Shouyo’s face appears for just a second. She leads the groups to the ships, dicing people with her fans, and picks up the useless trio that are now half-dead from hypothermia.
After the events, she is actively fighting against the shogun’s actions to reform the police from the ground up, but can only do so much with her little political power. She spends her days getting chewed out by her regent and Rhys terrorizing her three gigolos as she pulls her hair out and slowly goes insane. Nobu Nobu is extremely unpopular, causing more rebellion and more people wishing to restore imperial power. When she isn’t fanning the flames, Shiyue often leaves the palace to go to Odd Jobs, but that’s a simple temporary escape.
Shiyue dumbly asks the men why they weren’t in the Shinsengumi so she could have a tearful farewell with them as well. Rhys tells her not to be a dumbass and to be a leader the country needs - Shiyue dumbly agrees and her first imperial edict is to change the rising sun flag to a simply red sun in the middle of a white background. She sets up plans for the Shinsengumi to safely relocate to another area as she cleans up the crumbling country.
==Gintama.==
===Rakuyou===
Shiyue, busy with imperial matters, is still enclosed in the Kyoto palace. Joui rebels have started to post big posters of her heavily photoshopped face next to a crude drawing of Nobu Nobu everywhere in order to promote rebellion. She is busy admiring the posters and angrily asks Yuudai why he’s tearing them down. He is then arrested by police, something Shiyue, Hiro, and Takato make fun of him for, when Shiyue is also arrested - all five of them, in fact, for looking suspicious, dressed in black clothes and masks to hide their identities.
Shiyue angrily tells them she’ll have their heads for daring to arrest the emperor, and the police simply think she’s a lunatic. She tells Rhys to do something, but he has his handcuffs taken off and is telling the police he was being held hostage by them. As Nobume tells of Utsuro being immortal and constantly rising from the ashes, flashes of Shiyue and Rhys are shown. The next day, at Odd Jobs, she accompanies Shinpachi to play games at an arcade, something he finds annoying what with the posse following her. They head home and realize Kagura has left a notice of her quitting, quickly alerting Gintoki. They each put their own notices of leave and Gintoki reassures them that they will all come together again.
Later, Shiyue says her family is more important than a crumbling country and that even if she leaves, not much will change since the emperor is purely symbolic with no power. She puts her regent in charge and tells him to have fun being stuck inside all the time as she leaves with the rest of the Odd Jobs and departs to the port on a Kaientai ship. She says they must leave quickly as her men can only stall the shogunate police for so long.
Aboard the ship, she angrily texts her regent long paragraphs of direction, to which he simply responds with “K” or leaves her on read. She furiously crushes her phone to pieces and Rhys gestures for Hiro to give her her backup. She is seated with the Joui 3 and Sakamoto thanks her for her presence but asks why she brought so many people with her. Shiyue says to not mind her and pretend they’re not there with a crazed look on her face, something she says she’s slowly taught herself to learn to keep herself sane. They talk war and are ambushed by the shogun’s ships which sets Shiyue off. The group quickly departs to attack the ships from behind, Shiyue saying she’ll be the one to cut Nobu Nobu’s head off with a thumbs down after Gintoki’s speech. She quickly lays siege to the ship, fan held to the back of the shogun’s neck as Sakamoto points a gun to the left side of his face, Katsura to the right with his sword, and Gintoki to the front with his own. They pose with him and broadcast a message to the other ships about how they’re all friends while making fun of Nobu Nobu.
Bansai punches the shogun in the face as he gets angry and tells those watching that the country no longer has a leader they can proudest before the line cuts off. Shiyue strangles him and angrily asks what he means by that. Rhys pulls her off and tells her if she wants to strangle anyone, it should be Yuudai. Gintoki then asks Bansai if he felt anything after realizing the Kiheitai's dream of bringing down the Bafuku. The second-in-command admitted that all of the Shinsengumi, Mirawarigumi and other government's retainers had long abandoned them so the victory felt hollow. He also noted the irony in how the Shogun was alone despite being on top while Takasugi fell to the ground but still had friends by his side. Bansai decided to tell them of the Kiheitai-7th division rendezvous place for emergencies.
Once they arrive in the city below, Bansai leads Gintoki, Shinpachi, Katsura, Sakamoto, Shiyue, Yuudai, Hiro, Takato, and Mutsu through the streets to the hideout, relieved that the Harusame seemed to not be here. Shinpachi is surprised to see the rough people who lived in Kagura's hometown but Gintoki remarks that the city greatly parallels the Kabuki district, even pointing out the similarities between a few of the townspeople to people they know, a gorilla cabaret girl, a hopeless gorilla suitor and a gorilla artist. Mutsu tells the others that they must hurry to find Takasugi and the others as without them, they would be at a worse disadvantage against the Harusame.
Shiyue grumpily asks Yuudai where Rhys went and he says he disappeared after they’d eaten. Bansai then points out an abandoned temple on a cliff that suddenly explodes. He then frantically points to other potential hiding spots on the same cliff just to see them explode too. Gintoki retorts that Bansai was the one who destroyed the buildings with his finger instead of the Harusame but the humorless Bansai tries to cut off his finger as atonement before Shinpachi stops him. Two Kiheitai members appear before him, answering that the explosions were a result of Umibouzu revealing their location to the Harusame. Bansai move towards the cliff while and demands to know what happened to Takasugi to other Kiheitai members. Before indicating their boss' demise, they are immediately shot and killed and the six quickly dodge the hail of bullets to hide. Gintoki remarks that they had fallen into a trap; the two dead men had allied with the Harusame and tasked with leading them to this destination to be killed, not realizing that they were disposable pawns too. He concludes, as they grow surrounded by ships and pirates, that the town was already under Harusame's control before they came here.
Bansai despairs on the deplorable state of the Kiheitai thanks to Takasugi's downfall but Shiyue responds that because of said state, they were here to help, adding that Bansai should not let regret consume him while they were in the middle of battle. Gintoki leaves his hiding place and stands in front of armed pirates on the rooftops. Gintoki dodges the bullets and, later joined by Katsura and Sakamoto, the trio rush towards a building housing the pirates and fight through them. The distracted army are then attacked by the trio's friends. On the roof, the pirates panic as they are beaten back by Mutsu, Elizabeth, Shiyue’s group, and Shinpachi. The ships blast the rooftop, reminding their comrades that the samurai were best at close quarters and knocking Shinpachi down. The pirates attack him but are stopped by Bansai's strings. He tells them to appreciate the samurai's song before they are all defeated by Sakamoto, Katsura and Gintoki.
Although separated by cannons, they safely escaped on different rooftops. Bansai reaffirms how the trio were death magnets while saving Gintoki with his string. Sakamoto calls out to the others, telling them that he and his group will find a way to stop the ships while Gintoki, Katsura and their groups find Takasugi and the others. They begin fighting the Amanto, and when Shiyue is surrounded, they’re all thrown to the side by a certain presence. She gawks, watching with wide eyes as Rhys approaches her, dressed in a sort of white toga, asking if it’s really him. He says that, yes, it is him. One of the Amanto ask Rhys what he’s doing, calling him Admiral, and he says to leave her to him. Gobsmacked, she watches as he sweeps her legs from under her using his rapier.
Things start to click in her mind and she asks if her now deceased father contracted him to guard her. He says he did, so Shiyue asks why he stayed even after he died. Rhys responds by sending her flying through multiple buildings. As he draws near, he answers her repeated questions, telling her he was interested in her since the Seventh Division was enamored and how he felt massive amounts of Altana within her. He goes on to say that Kamui and Abuto are very attached to her, suspiciously so. She rolls her shoulders, wounds healing themselves, and says that she’s going to flay him alive and that she no longer needs him as her Monopoly partner since she now has three people to play the game with. As they trade blows, she suddenly remembers to ask him why he's doing this. He simply states that he's doing his job as the Harusame Squad 0 admiral and his job as her bodyguard to protect her. Shiyue goes off on him and asks what bodyguard kills the person they’re supposed to be protecting, but he ignores her.
He chases her to the cliffs, easily decimating everything in his way, and asks why she's running from him. She calls him a psycho and says she still has yet to fill the palace with beauties to dote on her which only somehow speeds him up, to her chagrin. Shiyue collapses, panting heavily, asking him how he expects her to be able to outrun him when all she does is sit on her ass. He answers by nearly stabbing her in the eye, of course blocked by her fan. She calls him crazy and hurls insults as they now trade blows on the edge of a cliff. Utsuro appears, wishing to fight Umibouzu, when he notices the pair. He greets Shiyue, calling her a Saint, and eyes flit over Rhys. Shiyue whispers the name of Shouyo but Rhys reacts quickly and tosses the frozen Shiyue miles away from the cliff and follows suit.
He slices through her fans and Shiyue reacts quickly by pulling out a hairpin and stabbing him in the neck with it and yanking it downwards She pulls out another hair accessory, causing her hairstyle to fall, and begins dueling him, decidedly forgetting for her complaints. She asks what their years of friendship meant to him and Rhys replies that he greatly values them, which is why he’s battling her. He unknowingly sends a shockwave of Altana towards her, regrowing some desert land and having it bloom into a lush valley, but it charges her with electricity, and her eyes are filled with white light.
Rhys curses and he nearly keels over from the sight, getting a strong, painful sense of deja vu. He knocks her out and undoes her hair with careful expertise so she won’t be uncomfortable and wonders how angry she’ll be to find out she’ll have been kidnapped for the fourth time in her life, but such is the life of the emperor. He swings her over her shoulder and takes her back to his ship.
Shiyue wakes up just as Utsuro’s background is explained, and she worries if Shiyue is just a persona and she’s hiding something else deep down. When she wakes up, she marches straight towards the back door, eyes listless from her fourth kidnapping. Rhys restrains her suddenly and asks what she’s doing. She asks what he’s doing and says she has since gained the courage to lop his balls off. He sweet talks her and guides her back to her room where he does her hair as she rants. She realizes what he’s doing and glares at him but then says she doesn’t care anymore and pulls her knees to her chest, hugging herself when she looks in the mirror.
She’s not in the mental state to fight Rhys to she decides to not do anything, instead touching her face and wondering if her past persona was the Saint, who she assumes is a wretched person. She worries about her return and Shiyue never resurfacing. She tilts her head back to look up at Rhys and gently touches his face, telling him she won’t kill him in fear of awakening his shounen main character alter ego, and that he should do the same for her, lest she awaken her dark side. Rhys places his hand over hers on his cheek and asks if that means she’s forgiving him, to which she says she doesn’t care if she’s betrayed again with a small smile. He frowns and Shiyue takes the opportunity to quickly smash his face into the vanity and knock him out, making her escape back to Earth.
==Gintama. Porori-hen==
===Excalibur Arc===
Sougo and Gintoki fight in order to return a sword his wife back and Shiyue cheers them on.
===HDZ48===
As Shinpachi cheers on an Otsu's performance, Shiyue comments that up-and-coming idol groups have now surpassed her in popularity. Gintoki convinces Shinpachi that being in an idol group would help Otsu stay relevant and become popular again.
The Yoruzuya squad meet Otsu and her mother/manager at their office. Her mother explained that to keep up with the times, they would put Otsu into a time-limited idol unit with a new face to show off Otsu's charms. The mother asks for Shiyue to join but Shinpachi says the emperor of Japan couldn’t possibly be an idol and Shiyue agrees and refuses to become one after hearing what shogunate officials say about them. Distraught, the mother turns to Kagura, and after a few of Shinpachi’s protests, she is accepted. Gintoki uses the opportunity to take up the producer role for the new idol unit.
They practice and discuss marketing plans for the group, now named Booger Diamond 48. Otae shows up and offers advice about choosing the right backup band, in order to protect the idols' purity and popularity. In reality, she wanted a chance for Diamond Perfume to make their music debut.
Shinpachi finds out that members of Otae's fanclub are unable to accept the new pairing. Gintoki organises a "pillow talk" fan meeting to promote the unit and to sell expensive autographed pillows. The meet-and-greet attracted a large group of male fans but Kagura intercepts their attempts to get close to Otsu. They spit Shiyue and demand that she partake, but her squad of bodyguards begin threatening castration under her order. Gintoki tries multiple times to salvage the situation, but the group of fans decide to leave.
Seeing the dejected faces of Otsu's fans, a group of galactic idols show up, promising to never disappoint their fans and intent on ruining the chances of Booger Diamond 48. Shinpachi explains who they are.
The group conducts a meet-and-greet behind closed curtains, with Takachin being the first to experience it. After moving from tent to tent and finally appearing only in his underwear, the male fans rushed into the tents and came out basking in the afterglow from the experience. Rhys remarks that they look like Shiyue just smiled at them, which causes her to start a heated, one-sided argument with him, butting heads. Seeing that her fans have abandoned her and were practically worshipping GKB48, Otsu runs away from the scene in tears. Shinpachi chases after her, and Gintoki carries a sleeping Kagura away.
The next day, news of the "illicit affairs" between Shinpachi and Otsu, Gintoki and Kagura, and Shiyue and Rhys appeared on the newspapers. GKB48 had photoshopped their images onto a background of a love district, as a ploy to bring down Booger Diamond 48. GKB48 releases a online video challenging Otsu to an idol battle to see which group could attract a bigger fanbase to their meet-and-greet. The Odd Jobs accept the challenge in order to return her the favour of giving her fans hopes and dreams (and to make more money).
They showed up at the Oedo Dome the next day for the challenge. The leader of GKB48, Bichie, refused to take them seriously and launched an attack against them. The Odd Jobs had an ace up their sleeve - the strongest combat backing band in the universe, the Diamond Vacuum. The first challenge was to see which idol group could attract more fans to their respective meet-and-greet. Almost immediately, fans flock to GKB48's line, but with the bands’ efforts, they come to Booger Diamonds.
Gintoki forces Shiyue to stand and smile but she says that that’s a forgotten gag and she’s forgotten how to work it. After he smacks her head repeatedly, she smiles so brightly that no one can gaze in her direction, and those that do get blind, backfiring. Shinpachi pulls out Bichie’s antenna, revealing the aliens’ ugly selves, and the situation is put to rest.
===Guardians Spirit Arc===
When Shinpachi gets new glasses, he is able to see guardian spirits. When Shiyue and her men come, he is blinded by light and can’t make out her huge guardian spirit correctly. He can somehow make out a thousand arms from it, seeing it’s the Buddha Guanyin. It feeds her, bathes her, clothes her, and does her hair.
Later, the trio attend Kabukicho sports meet organised by Otose, where the participants are split into two teams. Most of the Odd Job’s team members started falling sick and had to be carried away. Shinpachi sees that it was due to Asuraman and Alchu beating up the other guardian spirits so as to allow their masters to hog the entire prize money. The others go blind from unknown reasons, but that is simply because of Shiyue’s spirit.
The first game begins but Gintoki and Kagura were unable to score any balls into the basket. Gintoki and Kagura suffer from "food poisoning" from Otae’s spirit, but Shiyue’s heavenly one heals them. Otae throws Kondo into the basket and breaks it; the first game was a draw as neither team managed to score any balls.
The second game is a four-legged race. Asuraman, Alchu, Guanyin, and Hasegawa fuse into a larger guardian spirit, who was weak due to the lack of motivation. The final game is a bread-eating race. The Odd Job’s fused guardian spirit eats a holy sword and disappears. As the squad were about to be attacked by the mob, Shinpachi is given new glasses from his guardian spirit. The squad is attacked by the opposing team and Shinpachi remarks that it is time to buy new glasses.
==Gintama. Shirogane no Tamashii-hen==
===Silver Soul===
Shiyue is completely submerged in work after the shogunate has essentially collapsed and is struggling to regain power from the Altana Liberation Army. She, containing the power of an army, makes sure to kill the soldiers that dare to come near the palace, keeping it safe. She is met with shogunate retainers arguing at her palace day in and day out since the shogunate palace is essentially abandoned, and eventually closes it to visitors and relocates to Edo. Shiyue commonly meets with foreign envoys to discuss how to deal with the Altana Liberation Army.
She returns to the now destroyed Odd Jobs, seeing that her friends have been harassed by the Amanto, and grabs a floating request from the window. One says that the requests are accepted. Another figure asks for the specifics but a third person retorts that it didn't matter, and the fourth agrees, as no matter what the job, this squad, the Odd Jobs, are on it.
Katsura relays how negotiations are going with Shiyue and promises to start negotiating for real from the next day. She informs him about the situation at her end, telling him about the atrocities committed by the Amanto and the revolt by the citizens of Edo led by the emperor. The Yagyuu family rallies the citizens to fight for their town, Sacchan and the Oniwabanshu monitors the army at night, the Imperial guard is thrust into the fight, and Yoshiwara closes up its ceilings once again to act as a safe refuge for elderly and child residents.
Shiyue says Rhys should make himself useful for once and have his Harusame squad lend a hand, which he surprisingly agrees to. Shinpachi and Kagura are determined to find the Tendoushuu and kill Utsuro before the army makes its move. They find Gintoki in a comic store and Shiyue arguing with Hiro about why Gojo sucks outside. They are then attacked by civilians, before being rescued by Nobume, who tells them that they were the Naraku disguised as townsfolk.
The Naraku attack Shijaku's fleet, who have been ordered not to attack the Earthlings unless provoked, making it seem like the masses were revolting against the army. Nobume said that it was the beginning of an end, as Utsuro puts his plan into action, to die alongside Earth and its people. Shiyue nearly faints from anger, mouth agape.
Nobume and the Odd Jobs encounter the dead bodies of Naraku soldiers and the Altana Liberation Army. Utsuro emerges from the smoke and flames, and Gintoki launches his attack, Shiyue frozen. A ressurected soldier grabs her; Nobume and the Odd Jobs find themselves surrounded by the zombie-like Naraku soldiers, revived by a few drops of Utsuro's immortal blood. Utsuro asks Gintoki to choose between dying by his hands or dying with the planet; Gintoki chooses to use his sword to crush Utsuro and the army. Utsuro wonders why Gintoki chose not to end his suffering and continues to bear the burden of killing his teacher. Gintoki's sword could not reach Utsuro as the Naraku attack them relentlessly. Nobume notices the Altana Liberation Army's ships approaching Edo and tells them to escape. A ship fires at the pier, destroying the Naraku. As the explosion settles, Kagura, Shinpachi, and Shiyue emerge from the rubble, to see Gintoki holding on to a badly injured Nobume. She wonders how she is able to protect the Yoruzuya and the city from evil, now that Edo has lost both its special police forces. Sadaharu carries Nobume as the Odd Jobs run into Edo, which is being attacked from the sky by bombs and laser beams. On the ground, they tries to evade attacks by robot tanks. Shiyue calls and texts her regent to ask for soldiers, but she is simply sent to voicemail. Before she can break her phone, Kondou's voice appears and tells them it was not over yet. The Shinsengumi have returned and taken control of over half of the robot tanks.
The army recognises them as the police, who have come to arrest them for "traffic violations". The Shinsengumi tells the Odd Jobs that the battle has just begun and warns them not to fall behind. In their absence, the Shinsengumi had gathered rebels across the country and procured advanced weapons and battleships, using the old shogunate’s connections and gaining support from other countries.
A large robot shows up to attack them. Kondou appears to have grown stronger and unleashes his new ability. However, he was easily defeated and taken away by Shinpachi. Hijikata and Sougo step forward to release their newfound powers but were unsuccessful in hitting the robot with their swords. A "new character" appears and destroys the robot with a rocket launcher - Zakiyama.
The Odd Jobs are shocked at Yamazaki's transformation, who tells them that he feels lighter now that he has shed his old self. They find Yamazaki's old body hanging out from Zakiyama's ass. Kondou also removes his old body, which was now hanging out from a gorilla's ass. Zakiyama and the gorilla attack the enemy, but get their old bodies tangled up. The Shinsengumi and Odd Jobs chase after the gorilla. Despite the chaos and destruction, the Shinsengumi members smile at their situation - the Edo that they fell in love with was right there with them.
Enshou's battleships fire at the shogun’s castle, and Shiyue receives a snap from her regent, captioned “lol”, of the emperor’s castle getting attacked. Thankfully, their muzzles explode due to a black fog in the air. Matsudaira recognises the fog to be a flame haze that reacts with high temperatures and prevents the use of firearms, released by the Onibawanshuu.
Enshou's men reports that the old army has dealt a critical blow to their first wave. On the ground, the Shinsengumi, Odd Jobs, Imperial guard, and Oniwabanshuu fight the army. Enshou shoots a laser beam that clears out the flame haze. At the pier, a new wave of reinforcements arrive, filled with soldiers from the three great warrior race - Dakini Tribe, Shinra Tribe and Yato Tribe.
Gengai calls the Odd Jobs trio and reveals that he has been building a giant Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Gengai cannon. The cannon emerges from the ground and fires but appears to have done nothing. As the battleships started to crash into Earth, the Yoruzuya trio run towards the cannon, as Gintoki calls out Gengai and Tama's names in desperation, Shiyue crying for Kintoki. The allied forces realize that they are outnumbered by the Dakini, Shinra and Yato tribes. The army heads towards the cannon and the group realise that it was Gengai's plan all along to lure them into Kabukicho. Otose orders the gates to the district - Earth's last defense - to be closed. The Yagyuu family, the Hyakka, the Ketsuno family, Ikeda Asaemon, Jirocho, Pirako, and Shachi all rush towards Kabukicho, as the Dakini leader Ougai orders the army to charge forward.
The Onibawanshuu and Shinsengumi plot their attacks on multiple fronts, to split up and cause panic among the army members. Kondou asks the Odd Jobs to raise hell in Kabukicho. The Shinsengumi has split the Dakini army into two and launch an attack from their rear while the Onibawanshuu attack from the front. In Kabukicho, the residents detect the enemy's approach. The Four Devas command the trecbuchet attack and a rock projectile hits Gintoki in the face, injuring his eye.
She heals him while he angrily shouts at Otae. Shiyue tells them her to let them in Kabuki District, but she apologizes and says no because the enemy is chasing them. Each of the Odd Jobs finds a safe building - Gintoki stumbles upon the drag queens, Kagura the host club, Shinpachi with Tetsuko, and Shiyue with the fan club that kidnapped her.
The gates are then broken in a single blow by Ougai and he charges into Kabukicho. Shiyue fights alongside Yuudai, Hiro, and Takato. She cackles, saying she will be the one to make Dakini stew, slicing and stabbing crazily. Hiro reminds her that she should probably be healing instead of fighting and she tells him to shut up. She singles out a Shinra and chases him down, when rubble begins to fall on her head. Suddenly, a familiar face pushes her away, revealed to be Prince Sachi of First Rank. He brings with him his personal bodyguard force, and together, they fight.
She runs through the enemy lines, killing all who she lays eyes on, drenched in blood. By empowering her fans with altana, the corpses bloom into flowers and turn into grass, paving a beautiful forest behind her. The unit she has infiltrated begins retreating and she makes her way back to where the Odd Jobs are - Kabukicho has won. She scares Gintoki, covered head to toe in blood, and goes to take a shower and changes her clothes, leaving her hair down, and goes around quietly healing people, hair glowing a light green. Those discussing their next moves call her out, and say that as the emperor and essentially the face of the rebellion, she must offer a few ideas. Completely exhausted from the day's happenings, she readily agrees, twirling her crown around in her hand as she speaks much to Yuudai’s chagrin. She tells them that she has mobilized the Japanese army, but they will take a while to arrive. Gintoki then enters, riding Hedoro, and presenting him as their new secret weapon.
Shiyue helps build a make-shift hospital where she continues healing the injured soldiers, making sure to wear her crown to score brownie points. When the last patient is done with, she passes out, and is carried to a bed by Hiro. However, he wakes her up twenty minutes later, explaining that Gengai has been captured by the enemy and Earth is facing destruction. Completely pissed off, her flowers have wilted, and she storms off, still wearing her white pajamas and only carrying her crown with her. She orders Yuudai, Takato, and especially Hiro to carry her and tells them what direction to go in, face completely dark. She hasn't said a single word, simply pointing, but they begin sweating. However, they are too slow as well as too late, and Naraku arrive, presumable to slaughter all. Shiyue calmly jumps off the make-shift palanquin and uses her crown to throw at them, kicking and punching with incredible ferocity charged by lack of sleep. She begins crying, not for the people she is slaying, but rather because she is so incredibly frustrated that she wasn't able to get good enough sleep.
A spaceship drops onto the ground, causing a massive commotion, and she watches with horribly black eyes as Rhys pops out, followed by twelve other incredibly powerful people. He gives them orders and asks why she looks so down to meet her. Yuudai warns him to not talk to her and he asks why before a thirty pound crown knocks the wind out of him. Shiyue points an accusatory finger and says he has a lot of balls for daring to come near her and he simply eyes her up and down and shakes his head at her. Shiyue tells her men to kill him when Rhys and Shiyue both lock eyes. They both run in the same direction, and it is then when the Altana gates of Earth are suddenly unleashed. The ground starts to explode and Altana erupts from it, Shiyue now fully awake and cussing her head off, crown forgotten. She yells at Rhys to do something, but he says the only way to do so is to go to the source, so she tells him to somehow go faster.
Naraku erupt from the ground, and with the high amounts of Altana in the air, Rhys simply picks up Shiyue as she removes the excess altana within them that makes them immortal. They arrive faster than expected, and both are lost in a sea of memories, hauled away from near death by Sadaharu who engages in battle with Utsuro. The rest of Odd Jobs arrives to cross swords with him, and Utsuro mocks Shiyue, calling her the Saint once again. Sadaharu falls into the chasms of the dragon veins and Shiyue vows that she, Auris, will definitely kill him for the murder of her longtime friend, Shouyou and the attempted murder of her dog. She is given a weapon, which are fans, of foreign Altana crystals and stabs him in the stomach. He muses that this is the Saint he remembers and he's glad to have her back. She jumps away before he can make another move. He explains that the weapons will not work. Reinforcements arrive, and they all begin attacking Utsuro.
After everyone gets a turn with him and Sadaharu stops the flow of Altana, she once again crosses blades with him, saying she's sorry for lending a hand in his creation. She stops fighting to help the people of Kabukicho with extracting Altana and guiding it to Sadaharu with the assistance of the miko sisters. Once it has been settled, she once again joins in the fight, Rhys, Hiro, Yuudai, Takato, and Sachi all lend each other a hand in the fight. Utsuro faintly sees the silhouette of the Saint Auris when she attacks him and then falls down the chasm as something enormous crashes into Earth.
When Kagura decides to leave with her father, Shiyue also says that she must leave, eyes not befitting that of a twelve-year-old, saying she's the only leader the country has left as the shogunate has finally come to a close. Gintoki explains why he created the Odd Jobs and essentially says they will be going out of business. They all join hands and Gintoki bids them farewell.
Shiyue, left in the loneliness of her palace, tearfully whispers that she doesn’t want to be emperor if that means losing her friends.
==Gintama: The Very Final==
===Silver Soul Aftermath===
After two years have passed, Shiyue battles with an identity crisis, trauma, and rebuilding Edo. She has ensured the legacy of Odd Jobs and the Shoka Sonjuku school, reinstated the Shinsengumi and Mimawarigumi, and has also somewhat successfully rebuilt the country, standing as its paramount leader. She is not aware of the punishments handed over to former Shinsengumi. She has pardoned Takasugi Shinsuke and Katsura Kotarou, even making Katsura Prime Minister to lend a hand and keeps her regent around as simply her chief advisor, with Hiro, Yuudai, and Takato as the others, no longer needing them to constantly follow her around as she has finally restored imperial power with the fall of the shogunate. She has made countless trips to other countries and formed strong alliances with them, constantly busy with political matters, barely every able to leave the palace. Rhys has been regranted his position as her sole bodyguard - as he did not do much in his past life except for twiddle his thumbs, he doesn't understand the identity crisis she's undergoing.
She meets with Takasugi on her balcony and calmly tells her of his day as she brushes his hair, saying she's being pressured into marrying the prince of China. He coolly asks if he should kill him, but she says no, and that if she must marry to ensure that Japan makes amends to China, then so be it. He says Rhys won't be happy and she simply simply hums in agreement. It's revealed that Takasugi is aware of her remembering her past memories, wherein she fought in the Joui Wars and also attended the Shoka Sonjuku school. He asks her if she's angry at him for attempting to kill Katsura, but she says no, and all she wants is for them all to be safe. Takasugi sighs and says she should still enjoy her youth, but she bluntly tells him that she is the great¹⁰ grandmother of Kamui, leaving him speechless. She points out that they have the same dimples and same face shape, which he marvels. He gets ready to leave and she hugs him, telling him to stay safe. He simply pats her back and says he'll try before disappearing. Shiyue gazes at the landscape outside her palace, taking in the sights of her empire, and tells Rhys to come out. He does and she tells him to do her hair again for old time's sake. He obliges.
Shiyue does her bi-weekly assessment of her country, this time in the town of Kabukicho, to see what she needs to improve with the country, but is sadly joined by two prince's, one of China and the other from Russia, so she prays and hopes in her heart that her country shan't embarrass her. The Russian prince says it's an honor to be able to speak with the Saintess Auris and Shiyue gives a bored answer as she shows them around, taking pride in what she has built, when the Terminal suddenly explodes, causing her face to completely ashen. She says that it does that quite often and there's nothing to worry about, exaggeratedly motioning for Rhys to knock them out. Once he does, she calls for a car, and puts Edo under martial law to protect the citizens, deciding to go the Terminal to inspect it for herself.
A banana spaceship crashes an enemy spaceship into the top of the Terminal and she buries her face into her hands, before fidgeting with her ring, reminding herself that if she fails, she has the rest of eternity to use. They are invaded by Seibouists and Shiyue quickly mobilizes the spatial army as well as the ground one, and to her horror, realizes the Church of Auris has also sent forces. Shiyue jumps out of the car, ordering Rhys to follow her, as they charge into the building. She equips her fans, and although a bit rusty, manages to make fine work of the enemy. She spots a falling Gintoki and quickly races to catch him, eyes finally showing a childish glint in them once more, and also sees Shinpachi and Kagura. Sadaharu's marble breaks and he is finally unsealed in a flash of light, the trio riding on him as Sadaharu bites Gintoki's head. They reunite and Hasegawa, with Jii and Prince Hato, give them a ride to battle Utsuro.
Gintoki, Katsura, Shiyue, and Takasugi all fight against him. He's defeated with their efforts, Katsura dealing the final blow, and Shiyue quickly heals Takasugi, as well as quickly finding Shouyo. Sakamoto and the Odd Jobs meet him for the first time, but there's no time to rejoice. Shiyue senses a large amount of Altana leaking out and calmly says she'll deal with it, crystals growing on her skin. She says that she will not let Shouyo die again in front of her and that she has more to learn from him, when her ring is pulled off her finger by the massive pressure. Shouyou holds her back and comfortingly tells her that she and Auris are two separate entities and that she is much too young to be shouldering such a burden, but she will always be his precious student. As the Altana finally mitigates, she can faintly make out the shape of an ethereal looking being who shares the same features of her bidding farewell, and thanking her, presumably to join her husband up above. Shiyue smiles slightly and crystals form over her entire body.
Rhys takes command of the kingdom after Shiyue goes into stasis. Katsura returns to being Prime Minister, Takasugi starts anew, the Odd Jobs is reformed, Shouyou opens a new school, and order is restored. Rhys keeps her body contained in a way similar to Utsuro's, waiting for the day the true emperor will return.
==Be Forever Yorozuya==
The planet is in a state of decay due to a quarter of the population dying and another third fleeing. Shiyue’s whereabouts are unknown, and any mention of her causes frightened reactions.
Gintoki comes across her when a man harasses him for money in an alley. He hears a voice say, “Truly like a toad in a well. Let me teach you a lesson.” With that, the man is cut cleanly in half with the quick slash of a sword. He doesn’t recognize it as being her, until he hears, “Give me some face.”
It is revealed that, with the loss of Gintoki and the breaking up of Odd Jobs, she has fully succumbed to her character archetype. She rules over Earth after conquering all the countries with an iron fist as a tyrant - she kills indiscriminately, and has forced every man who is of age to come to her palace and present themselves before her. When she chooses one she likes, she accepts them into her harem of thousands of jade beauties, and will kill the ugly ones to “save the world from their genes.”
Everyone is horrified at what she’s become. She is making plans to conquer other planets, but is currently fighting the main character - a cultivator with unparalleled talent. She has a few dozen children, which she gave birth to by throwing up. She raises them to be her own personal army to fight against the main character.
When Chinpo refuses to join her, she calmly gives him five minutes to run lest she strike him down. She coughs blood at his rejection and nearly faints, only to be caught in the arms of two of her male concubines. One snarls at him: “You dare?” And Gintoki can’t help but remark that the real virus is the plague of her speech pattern spreading.
