Gintama: The Very Final receives a neutral rating because its central conflict revolves around universal themes of fighting an existential threat and preserving human connection, rather than explicitly promoting specific progressive or conservative ideologies. The solution emphasizes collective action, personal sacrifice, and the will to live, which are apolitical.
The movie, an anime film, features a cast consistent with its Japanese origin and source material, without engaging in explicit race or gender swaps of traditionally white roles. Its narrative, while satirical and featuring diverse character types and themes of coexistence, does not explicitly critique traditional identities or center its plot around strong DEI themes.
The film includes established 'Okama Bar' characters who serve as strong, capable allies in the final battle. While their presence is supportive, their identities are not deeply explored or affirmed, nor are they subjected to new mockery within this specific film. Their portrayal is present but incidental, resulting in a neutral net impact.
The film features multiple female characters, including Kagura, Tsukuyo, and Nobume, who are depicted engaging in and winning close-quarters physical combat against numerous male opponents using martial arts, melee weapons, and enhanced physical strength.
The film features established characters from the Gintama manga and anime series. While the series has included temporary, in-plot gender-bending scenarios for comedic effect, these do not constitute a permanent re-gendering of canonical characters for the adaptation. No character canonically established as one gender is permanently portrayed as a different gender in this film.
