Gintama tells the story of how, at the end of the Edo period, aliens known as "Celestial Beings" attacked. The war between the Earthlings and the Celestials broke out instantaneously, and a large number of samurai and Warriors of the Shōjō faction participated in the battle against the Celestials. After the shogunate saw the great power of the Tenjin, it signed an unequal treaty with the Tenjin without authorization and allowed them to enter the country. Later, the "Abolition of Swords Order" was issued, which took away the samurai's sword. Since then, the heavens and men have run amok, and the shogunate has become a "puppet regime". In times like these, there was a samurai who lived happily with his companions in a whimsical life.
