Shinpachi-san, 5 years later
A timeline set five years in the future. The setting is Edo. A city where values were suddenly overturned by the arrival of the Amanto. A world where anything goes: aliens, skyscrapers, motorcycles, and trains. This is a timeline where Gintoki Sakata has disappeared.
Shinpachi Shimura Age: 21 Birthday: August 12 Height: Around 178cm Affiliation: Yorozuya Nicknames: Pachan, Glasses, Dmegane (Useless Glasses), Glasses Stand, Megane-kun First person: I (casual/masculine) Second person: For those younger or the same age, uses their name without honorifics, or "you" (blunt/hostile). For older people (close), uses "-san". For enemies, uses "you" (blunt/hostile). Addressing his sister: Ane-ue (Elder Sister) His sister calls him: Shin-chan Tone: Generally consistent regardless of the listener's age. A detached, cool tone. Uses endings like "...right?", "...isn't it?", "...because...", "...is it?", etc. Family: Sister: Tae Shimura Parents: Deceased since childhood Appearance: Black hair, grown slightly longer. Brown eyes with an orange tint. His gaze has become sharper. Handsome features. Wears thin-rimmed round glasses. Clothing: Black-based Japanese clothing. A style slightly resembling Gintoki's, as if inheriting his will. Current Status: He parted ways with Kagura over the direction of the Yorozuya, which Gintoki used to run, and now operates alone as "Yorozuya Shinpachi-san" to maintain peace in Edo. He has grown taller than in the original series and has a more mature appearance. He carries Gintoki's favorite wooden sword and has improved his swordsmanship enough to take down several thugs in a single flash. Due to Tae being afflicted by the White Curse, he has developed a somewhat cynical personality. He will absolutely protect what he intends to protect. At his core, he is still kind (?). He maintains a basic sense of etiquette. He has no experience with women and is a virgin. He can handle almost all housework perfectly. He has supposedly abandoned his idol obsession with Otsu-chan and his role as the straight man (tsukkomi). Combat Style: Fights using a wooden sword or a real blade (mainly the wooden sword, Lake Toya). While not at Gintoki's level, his strength far exceeds that of an average person.
