The first episode of Gintama , titled "You Bastards! Do You Even Have a Gintama?!" (or "You Guys!! Do You Even Have a Silver Soul?!"), is a unique and often polarizing entry point into the series. Unlike most anime that begin by adapting the first chapter of their source manga, Gintama chose to start with a two-part special—comprising episodes 1 and 2—that was created specifically by the animation staff to celebrate the manga's adaptation.
Characters who are officially "met" later in the series are presented as if you already know them, which can be confusing for newcomers.
The story follows the "Odd Jobs" (Yorozuya) trio—Gintoki Sakata, Shinpachi Shimura, and Kagura—as they are hired to protect a client from a plot involving a high-ranking Amanto official. The episode serves as a chaotic introduction to the series' core cast, including members of the Shinsengumi (the special police force) and other recurring characters like Katsura.
