25 - Mar - 2020

Less than 4 months before the premiere, will they be able to save any surprises?


After the official announcement of the new live-actions on April 11, 2019, we did not have any information about the films for a long time. But little by little the information was released. With the confirmation of the return of the Kenshingumi actors and a new Yahiko, the return Yosuke Eguchi as Saitou and Mackenyu Arata as Gintoki Enishi. Finally on February 21st this year, the first teaser trailer was released, which you can check out below:


The most passionate fans may notice the subtle things that were revealed in the teaser and others more blatant, but due to the new presentation may have gone unnoticed by those who did not read the Jinchuu Arc in the manga, since the OVA's are far from being faithful changing some of the participations of the characters in the historical period, as in the Ikedaya Incident (which Watsuki even humorously mentions in the Hokkaido Arc with Shipachi Nagakura) and the battle against Enishi.

But even though we were able to catch a glimpse, an important question was not answered: "What about Tomoe". On the last day 18 (mar) we were answered. The interpreter of Kenshin Himura's first wife would be Kasumi Arimura:
