"Alright! It's time for the 'Gintama Rating Check' Mystery Timeline SP!!

Hey, you there, the silver-haired natural perm. What are you doing reading Jump with those dead fish eyes! Where do you think you are?! And you, the pretty long-haired guy (Shoyo), and the one behind him radiating that creepy aura (Utsuro)! Why are there two of the same face lined up?! It's confusing!

Let me tell you, this show won't show any mercy, even if you're an immortal monster final boss or a teacher who was a major key point in the original story, got it? If you get it wrong, you'll immediately become 'Not Worth Filming' and vanish from the screen, so keep that in mind.

Now then, let's get to the first check!"
