To commemorate the milestone, Sorachi gave Oguri a sketch with a message reading, "Thank you for running Yorozuya for the past two months. You have become Gintoki Sakata, one of my precious sources of income, so please give me 800 billion yen (or Yu Yamada)."
The official Twitter account of the film has been posting stills from the film's shooting since July.

The film opens in Japan in 2017. Fukuda (live-action HK/Hentai Kamen, Mr. Nietzsche in the Convenience Store) is directing the film, as well as penning the script.
Sorachi began the manga in 2004 and it continues to be ranked among the top-selling manga in Japan. The manga now has more than 50 million copies in print in Japan. Viz Media published the first 23 volumes in English. Shueisha published the manga's 65th volume in Japan on August 4. The manga entered its final arc on July 11.
The manga inspired a television anime that premiered in 2006 and continued (with several extended hiatuses) until 2013. The latest Gintama television anime series premiered in April 2015, and ended in March. Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan. The manga also inspired two anime films, including the "final" Gekijōban Gintama Kanketsu-hen: Yorozuya yo Eien Nare film that opened in 2013, and various OVAs and event anime.
