Introduction[]

A jealous Kondo rampages around a summer festival, breaking up couples due to his own lack of a date with Otae. But a chance meeting with Otae while in disguise makes him realize he may end up having a chance to finally be with her! If only the Yorozuya didn't interfere!

Plot[]

Hijikata and Sougo are patrolling a summer festival when they come across Kondo disturbing young couples due to the fact that Otae declined his request to go to the festival together. Sougo suggests that Kondo wear a cockroach mask so that nobody would recognize him as the Shinsengumi chief and so that he does not ruin the festival ambiance.

Kagura, walking with Otae spots Kondo who identifies him as the "Masked Roachief Black RX". Kagura runs off and Kondo offers to help Otae find her as an excuse to spend time with her.

The two are stopped at a game stand that Gintoki is running; Otae insists on staying to wait for Kagura and Kondo has no choice but to play. The games Gintoki hosts are a shooting gallery, candy carving, and a scooping goldfish game. With the help of Shinpachi, Kagura and Hasegawa, Gintoki set up the games to give Kondo a hard time while obtaining maximum profit. After falling into the goldfish pool, the cockroach mask falls off and it is revealed that they had known that it was Kondo behind the mask all along and were trying to teach him a lesson not to stalk Otae any further. Holding the mask with a smile on her face, Otae mentions that the although the mask was hiding his face, it made certain things easier to see, such as how fun it is spending time with everyone at the festival.

Trivia[]

  • Kondo gives Otae a yukata, to which she declines. However, she can be seen wearing it in the opening.
  • Otae wants Kondo to shoot down a "Bitch" brand handkerchief and bag during the shooting game, which is the same brand as Tsukuyo's pipe, as said in the Yoshiwara in Flames Arc.
  • "Futae No Kiwami" is hand-to-hand combat technique from the Rurouni Kenshin series, whose usage reduces its target to dust.
