Part A[]

Introduction[]

While researching the Amanto War, a reporter interviews Nagai, a former reporter from the war in order to know about the White Demon's (Gintoki's former Joui ego) activities in such time. He chronicles the events from war, explaining how the samurais decided to fight against the aliens. As Nagai is about to talk about the White Demon, he replaces him with the fictional robot Gundam to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the franchise with the same name.

Plot[]

A journalist wants to find information on the war between the Joui and the Bakufu. To do this he travels to a rural village and questions an old man called Nagai who was a reporter during the war. The Amanto came and used their superior technology to force the Bakufu to force them to submit, the war then began. The Nagai mentions Katsura, Takasugi, and Sakamoto but not Gintoki.

The journalist wants to know about the White Devil so Nagai then tells a story of when Katsura and Takasugi were stuck in the trenches under fire. The Amanto ships are shot down and a Gundam stands in the dust.

Turns out it was something for the thirtieth Gundam anniversary, the reporter and Nagai looking a lot like Kai and General Revin probably gave it away.
