Pure White is the 691st chapter in Gintama.
Summary
In the Seibouism's ship Kuyou, the cult prepares to infiltrate Earth to capture the terminal. As Takasugi predicted, their leaders, the Tendoshu, decided to take advantage of the "chaos" to start their plan while mocking the country's weakness and boasting their own future success. Back to the city within the central police building, Sogo asks the police force to help guide the people into shelters and to set a perimeter around the terminal. Nobume interrupts to talk about Katsura, but Soyo insists that it and her grief should wait. The older woman refuses before telling her that Katsura's body vanished. Nobume found it strange that little intel beyond his death was given yet said death was purposely broadcast all over Japan. Plus before the terrorist bombing, the entire terminal and the surrounding five kilometers was evacuated, meaning only the building may be damaged. Soyo wonders what was going on until Matsudaira reveals that this was meant to frame Takasugi. But even he admits that the ex-Kihetai leader wasn't capable of gathering that much people. Only someone at the level of a prime minister can do so. In the streets, Okita gives Shinpachi and Kagara the same information and the bespectacled teen concludes that there was an accomplice. Instead, Okita (and Matsudaira) reveal that there still exist another Joui patriot more dangerous than Takasugi and was the only Joui to take Japan: Katsura himself.
On the rooftop, Katsura chides Gintoki on not being careful of protecting important things since someone (Takasugi) may launch a surprise attack and steal it. He declares that he will take the heart, except while juggling the item, it fell out of his hand and bounced off the roof. Gintoki and Katsura quickly jump after it, while Gintoki angrily berates the long-haired man on tricking him and working together with the one-eyed man. Katsura instead insists they used each other thanks to their shared goal of destroying the cult as he kicks off the wall to take him closer to the heart. Gintoki kicks the other man into a ledge, further yelling at him for still being his terrorist self. Katsura pins Gintoki to the wall with his sword before kicking the heart in the air, declaring that he never was prime minister or a terrorist but a disciple of Shouyou who has done shameful things. The duo sees the Naraku running down the side of the building, reaching for the item before kicking off each other and the walls to kill the assassins before reaching out to the item. Takasugi gleefully lands on Gintoki's and Katsura's faces and grabs the heart, telling the duo that since all preparations are finished, the two should stand back and watch. The duo grab Takasugi's ankles and slams him into the ground with the waiting Naraku, angrily yelling that he should stand back and watch. The trio survive their fall and fight the assassins.
