The impression is that "Gintama" has been said to be finished many times, but this time", "Gintama the final" has such a striking "final word" title, and the official also notes the slogan of "witness the real final", is this really going to end?
The theatrical version of "Gintama the Final" is scheduled to air on January 8 next year, and today the latest trailer has been released, starting a new round of publicity. In order to attract the audience to the theater to watch the movie, or to attract the audience to watch the movie repeatedly, Japanese animation films will generally send various "special gifts" to the audience, which is equivalent to souvenirs. According to the promotion of "Gintama", from the official release of the movie, the audience who came to the scene received different characteristics every week, and the first week's special feature was the illustration card of Tanjiro and several "pillars" in "Ghost Blade" drawn by author Hideaki Kuchi.
At first glance, it seems that there is no problem, but on second thought, why did you send "Ghost Blade" to "Gintama"? Japanese netizens have complained: Maybe only the work of "Gintama" can do this kind of thing in a bright and upright way. But there are still many netizens who question this, thinking that rubbing such a heat is not necessary, although the topic of "Ghost Blade" is quite high, but Gintama has its own fan base.
Yahoo. Has also featured a feature on the phenomenon and called the hype "the law of taking advantage of business." Although the wording is stronger, the relationship between Crocodile, the author of Ghost Blade, and The author of Gintama, Akira, is mentioned in the report. At the end of a 2018 issue of Jump magazine, The Crocodile Teacher mentioned that he "submitted an article to Jump because he read the work "Gintama".
Of course, it is impossible to promote this form of commercial cooperation by virtue of this relationship of worship of the younger generations alone. "Gintama" dared to send a souvenir of "Ghost Blade" with a bright plan, which must be led by jump and matchmaking. Jump hopes to see such a topic formed, and for both authors, there is nothing to lose.
In fact, you don't have to be too entangled in this special offer, from the promotional video of "Gintama the Final", we can already see a lot of jokes, and finally generously admit that "the time is too tight to cause the trailer to be finished", or that familiar style.
