No.4 Will "GINTAMA THE FINAL" really be the end this time? We look back at the history of the repeated apologies and "end-all, end-all scams" of "Gintama!

The "Gintama" series has been repeatedly announced as "finished," but before the series has dried up, it has been "restarted" again and again, and each time an apology press conference has been held.
In a sense, the "Gintama" series has been sublimated into an ironclad "end-all, end-all scam," but the movie "Gintama the Final," which will be released on January 8, 2021, is said to be the real and true conclusion of the series.
But will it really end? No, it's just another "it's over, it's over scam" this time, isn't it? No, no, no, I don't know how many times the Buddha's face will be seen, but this time it will be over. No, no, no, "Gintama" will not end so good-naturedly. This article was published amidst doubts about its authenticity even among fans.
Will a new page be engraved in the history of apologies in the future? Or will this really be the end?
No one knows yet.
