After provoking him, Gintoki finally unsheathes his sword. He blocks the attack without even unsheathing his sword, but he gets knocked back by the powerful blow.ДЄfter another hit that Gin evaded, he kicks Hijikata from behind, but as the latter is about to land, he cuts Gin's shoulder. After giving Gintoki one of his swords, Hijikata swiftly attacks him, even though Gintoki doesn't understand the reason of getting attacked. Hijikata borrows Sougo's sword and goes to confront Gintoki on the rooftop. Hijikata recognises Gintoki from the Katsura bomb incident at Ikedaya during Episode 5, however Gintoki doesn't remember and simply calls him Ogushi before returning to his work. Gintoki, who has been working on that roof with the carpenter, goes down to apologize. After another false alarm from Yamazaki, Hijikata and Sougo wander in the streets, when suddenly a pack of wood falls down and nearly crashes Hijikata. Sougo mentions that they don't know anything about him except his hair colour, but Hijikata insists that he will understand as soon as he meets the right person. He heads off with Sougo to find the silver-haired samurai and kill him to restore the group's honour. At their Headquarters Hijikata is frustrated from the fact that the whole town has learned about Kondo's defeat due to the Shinsegumi's notes. They also encounter other samurais, having mistaken them for the one they search for. Having lost his patience, the customer decides that Gintoki is the winner, but, much to everyone's surprise, he says that the spoils go to the victor, meaning Gintoki will have to do the labour work.Д«ack to the Shinsegumi's efforts to find Gin, they post notes everywhere in town challenging the silver-haired samurai to come out.

In the third and final round, Shinpachi chooses Rock, while Kagura makes a Hand Shadow Crab and Gintoki places five small dolls on his fingers pretending them to be a family! Shinpachi is infuriated for not following the rules and the other two insist that he lost. In the second round, the game ends with a tie, despite Gintoki's attempt to fool the other two. Gintoki is ready to respond by drawing his wooden sword, but Shinpachi yells to them to follow the rules of the game. In the first round, Kagura hits Gintoki in the face saying that the early hand wins. Finally, they decide to solve this matter with a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors! No one wants to go, so the loser will get the labour work. Immediately the gang starts fighting as to who will be chosen though without coming to a conclusion. But the problem is that he needs only one of them. A customer sitting on the couch shortly explains the story so far: As the Odd Jobs gang was enjoying their lives as always, a carpenter and advisor of the Kabukicho Town Council, Ishida Pierre Genpachisayuemon, comes to the store asking for an assistant. In the meantime in Odd Jobs Gin, the trio is seen ready to fight for unknown reasons.

The Shinsegumi officers head to town trying to find who that silver-haired samurai is. Shortly after, Kondo appears in the meeting with a bandage on his left cheek caused by Gintoki's hit. Hijikata loudly regrets for telling Sougo such a secret, thus admitting Sougo's sayings.

Sougo says that he heard the rumour from Hijikata himself. Hijikata denies Kondo's defeat, asking who was spreading such baseless rumours, only to learn that Sougo was announcing it over the loudspeaker. The episode starts with the Shinsengumi in shock because of their leader's defeat to Gintoki in Episode 8 and ask Hijikata about the identity of the 'silver-haired samurai'. isn't it all about protecting something?'ДЄfter hearing how Kondou was beaten by 'a silver haired samurai', the Shinsengumi decides to reclaim his honor by finding the samurai to fight him.
