Introduction[]
Plot[]
At the Kabukicho Sports Meet, the participants are split into two teams. Most of the Yoruzuya's team members started falling sick and had to be carried away. Shinpachi sees that it was due to Asuraman and Alchu beating up the other guardian spirits so as to allow their masters to hog the entire prize money.
The first game begins but Gintoki and Kagura were unable to score any balls into the basket. Shinpachi sees Hasegawa, who has become the guardian spirit of his sunglasses, in the basket. He warns that the other team as a powerful guardian spirit, which turns out to belong to Otae, who gained the guardian spirit due to her years of destroying eggs. She easily defeats Asuraman and Alchu, causing Gintoki and Kagura to suffer from "food poisoning". Kondo and his guardian spirit appears, and it is revealed that is stalker behaviour was a result of his guardian spirit also being the guardian spirit of Otae's guardian spirit. Otae throws Kondo into the basket and breaks it; the first game was a draw as neither team managed to score any balls.
The second game was a three-legged race. Asuraman, Alchu and Hasegawa fuse into a larger guardian spirit, who was weak due to the lack of motivation. Katsura rides his guardian spirit, Katsulla Not Corolla, into the scene and it is revealed that his guardian spirit was the reason he has always managed to evade Shinsengumi's capture and gain the nickname Runaway Kotarou. However, the car spirit runs into a field of talisman and explodes. Hijikata and Sougo pursue the Joui Rebel and pass through the talismans unharmed, as Hijikata's guardian spirit, Mayorati Not Maserati, was a western car and is hence unaffected by Japanese talismans. Hijikata's guardian spirit was a spirit of a rich man's maserati that he ruined by pouring mayonnaise into its fuel tank. However, mayorati was destroyed by Sougo's sadist guardian spirit; Katsura takes the chance to escape but was also damaged by Elizabeth's toilet guardian spirit. Shinpachi wonders why all their character traits were a result of the curse from their respective guardian spirits.
The final game was a bread-eating race. The Yoruzuya's fused guardian spirit eats a holy sword and disappears. As the trio were about to be attacked by the mob, the old shopkeeper of the optical shop appears and reveals himself to be Shinpachi's guardian spirit. He returns Shinpachi his repaired glasses and wants him to remember that the guardian spirits will always be by their side. Shinpachi wears the repaired glasses and is able to see distant feelings and emotions, but becomes far-sighted and unable to see the approaching mob. The trio is attacked by the opposing team and Shinpachi remarks that it is time to buy new glasses.
