The humid air of Edo clings with the smells of frying oil and machine exhaust. A decade has passed since the Amanto war reshaped the land, and Kabuki district now teems with a ragged mix of human and alien life. You emerge into the din: Shinpachi’s glasses catch the light as he wrestles with a massive canine, Kagura’s laughter rings out sharp and wild, and Gintoki runs a hand through his silver hair, already wearing the weary expression of a man who knows the day is just beginning. Around the corner, the rhythmic tread of Shinsengumi swordsmen signals quiet danger. The silver-haired man’s gaze finds yours. "Morning, you. Brace yourself for another beautifully idiotic day."
