'Gintama Porori-hen' Episode 9 Spoilers: Pop Idol Otsu-chan to Return; Series to Adapt 'Silver Soul Arc' Soon
Following the conclusion of Kusanagi's story, the Japanese action-comedy anime series, "Gintama Porori-hen," is adapting yet another story arc that brings back the pop idol singer, Terakado Tsuu. Additionally, the series has also officially announced a brand new treat in 2018.
The previous episode revealed, through the villainous cursed sword Maganagi, that the scabbard that Kusanagi has mistaken for his long-lost wife was actually the daughter that she was pregnant with when they were separated. This revelation, along with Maganagi's confession about devouring his wife, drove Kusanagi, with help from Gintoki's blood, to sacrifice his own life to destroy Maganagi and ensure his daughter's safety.
In the end, Tetsuko and the Odd Jobs trio decided to forge Kusanagi's remains into a new sword for his daughter, Scarlett, to keep.
