Character Outline
Taizō explains to both Gintoki and Shinpachi that the Shogun of Edo is having problems trading with the outside world, and that there is a problem that could throw the country into chaos. He then explains that the prince had come, but he too was having problems. Upon arriving, the prince explains that his pet, Pesu, is gone, asking Gintoki and Shinpachi to go get it for him. The two try to leave without replying before being stopped by Taizō, who says that because they are free lancers, they should do anything. Gintoki bluntly retorts that he should shut up.

Taizō pulls Gintoki aside, explaining that the Shogun borrows a lot of money from the prince's country. Gintoki responds that it was Taizō's problem and that if a country falls over a pet, to let it crumble. He then turns to the prince and tells him to find it himself, calling him a dumbass, much to Taizō's distress and the prince's annoyance. Shinpachi asks why they can't do something so simple themselves. Before Taizō can explain, a nearby building is crushed, and Pesu makes its appearance. The prince explains that Pesu is an unknown alien he caught on the planet Hikyō. Gintoki then draws his sword and prepares to attack the creature. Taizō stops Gintoki by tripping him, saying he is to catch it unharmed, but soon after, Shinpachi is ensnared by one of the creature's tentacles.

After Gintoki attacks Pesu, rescuing Shinpachi by cutting the creature's throat open with his wooden sword, the prince flies into a rage over the condition of his pet, stating that it will be Edo's problem now. He then tells Taizō that he will report to his father, causing Taizō to punch him and yell for him to shut up.
