==Introduction==

The '''Jouishishi''' are a loose confederacy of swordsmen whose goals are to overthrow the government and/or the expulsion of the Amanto. They were both the recurring antagonists and protagonists in the ''Gintama'' setting.

In order to reach their goals, they will resort to any means to get their message across. These means can include kidnappings, bombings, murders, and media propaganda. The first three are usually focused on anything government or Amanto related while the last is to influence civilians to their cause. It is implied that in many cases, they are funded by businessmen, government officials and even some Amanto organizations.

They may be well connected enough to be aware of any information they come across, whether it involves any government movements or what is going on with any other rebel groups.

There are actually a number of different factions within the Jouishishi rebellion, some more extremist than others. Katsura's faction grew moderate as the anime progressed, from the the initial opening scene in [[Episode 5]] where Katsura used terrorist-like tactics like time bombs liberally, to the Benizakura Chapter [[Episode 61]] where he pleaded with [[Takasugi Shinsuke]] that there must be other ways of changing the world other than destroying it all. However, he was still happy to deploy bombs liberally against [[Shinsengumi 真選組]].

Their anti-government and/or terrorist activities made them the arch nemesis of the [[Shinsengumi 真選組]], who had made it their mission to wipe out the rebellion movement. However, the extremist factions are known to have secret dealings with the {{define|Bakufu}} government, for example in [[Episodes ?]].{{verify}}

==History==
−
{{clr}}
  
  +
When the Old Jouishishi lost the Joui Wars ten years before the start of the series, some members scattered across Japan and secretly tried to gather dissidents to continue the fight. During the years, they will constantly plague the bakufu with their terrorist activities. To the point that four years before the start of the series, the bakufu formed the [[Shinsengumi]] to curtail any Joui activity, which is mostly concentrated in the government's base city, Edo. Since, Joui activity had constantly ebbed and flowed.

It should be noted that the Jouishishi are a loose organization of swordsmen and as such may not always see eye to eye in their goals. Due to having no hierarchical structure, there are many groups within that try to destroy another to become stronger or for a purge. Not all human terrorist groups are Jouishishi.

==== ''Katsura Faction'' ====

This faction is the only recurring '''protagonist''' Joui group in 'Gintama'. They are led by one of the famous Old Jouishishi named [[Katsura Kotarou]] sometime after Katsura left the Joui Wars. They were originally an extremist faction until its leader met another famous Old Joui, [[Sakata Gintoki]], who like some of the other Joui veterans, decided to move on. Katsura's group then becomes more moderate, wishing to change the government in a more peaceful way and to protect Edo from any other terrorists who wish to destroy it.

The Jouishishi are a loose confederacy of swordsmen whose goals are to overthrow the government and/or the expulsion of the Amanto. They were both the recurring antagonists and protagonists in the Gintama setting.

Operations

In order to reach their goals, they will resort to any means to get their message across. These means can include kidnappings, bombings, murders, and media propaganda. The first three are usually focused on anything government or Amanto related while the last is to influence civilians to their cause. It is implied that in many cases, they are funded by businessmen, government officials and even some Amanto organizations.

They may be well connected enough to be aware of any information they come across, whether it involves any government movements or what is going on with any other rebel groups.

History

When the Old Jouishishi lost the Joui Wars ten years before the start of the series, some members scattered across Japan and secretly tried to gather dissidents to continue the fight. During the years, they will constantly plague the bakufu with their terrorist activities. To the point that four years before the start of the series, the bakufu formed the Shinsengumi to curtail any Joui activity, which is mostly concentrated in the government's base city, Edo. Since, Joui activity had constantly ebbed and flowed.

Members

It should be noted that the Jouishishi are a loose organization of swordsmen and as such may not always see eye to eye in their goals. Due to having no hierarchical structure, there are many groups within that try to destroy another to become stronger or for a purge. Not all human terrorist groups are Jouishishi.

Moderate Factions

Katsura Faction

This faction is the only recurring protagonist Joui group in 'Gintama'. They are led by one of the famous Old Jouishishi named Katsura Kotarou sometime after Katsura left the Joui Wars. They were originally an extremist faction until its leader met another famous Old Joui, Sakata Gintoki, who like some of the other Joui veterans, decided to move on. Katsura's group then becomes more moderate, wishing to change the government in a more peaceful way and to protect Edo from any other terrorists who wish to destroy it.

Their only goal is the destruction of Japan by any means due to the belief that the country has become corrupted thanks to both the Amanto's influence and the country's own inner failings.
