| Tsurumi is probably the most cunning and clever character in the show, not afraid of taking any risk or gamble for his traps. Seriously, this guy is like a master of mind games. This was also another somewhat emotional episode from a human perspective. |
 |
|
| So good to be back with the usual tactics and mind games, and on both sides that is. Double agents never see a good end, so good luck to Ariko. This episode once again established there's no big actor than Tsurumi, the lone man with his iq in four figures.. and this ain't satire but compliment. |
 |
| The seemingly separate story threads from the early episodes have finally clicked together and things have kicked into high gear. I doubt we'll be slowing down much until the end of the season, and it seems like the next episode will already be incredibly tense. |
| "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
| I like the mental games between Hijikata and Tsurumi. Cikapasi and Tanigaki scene was the definition of manly tears. Yes. You will be a boner,Cikapasi. - Tanigaki Genjirou. Is better know that you are being manipulated, than not knowing. |
 |
| Good to see everything connect slowly and all the mind games between the characters are interesting. |
| The return of the psychological game of getting as much tattoos as possible, it all hinges on 1 person: Ariko Ipopte, being a double spy for Lieutenant Tsurumi and Hijikata's army. Tsurumi has known it all, and he'll spare no effort to let Ariko loose and make sure he fulfills his mission of bringing the cleverly made fakes over to Hijikata and convince him that it's the real thing. But Hijikata has already known this fact, and this proves that with the plan he set out as early as he could, he's on his way to knowing where the gold lies with the half-truths becoming a full truth. Smart thinking. Sugimoto and gang's return to Enonoka's village to bid her and Henke farewell, but Cikapasi isn't all ready to let go just yet, and Tanigaki knowing this with how he left Inkarmat all by herself when he was gone, he's not gonna imbue the same value towards Cikapasi, but only one: like a boner. The route thereafter, and Koito feels an inkling that whatever Ogata said to him in the past, it only made sense now that Tsukishima would not budge a feet on what he knows, letting himself be used by those who saved his life i.e. Lieutenant Tsurumi. Manchuria, Koito's father's company, Tsurumi's sweet lies have everyone clasped in his fingertips, and Koito finally realized to put on an act. The day of the meet, and aside from the Ainu gold, Shiraishi goes unhinged against Sugimoto weaving Asirpa into his very hands, it's a decision made that determines life and death. How will the trade in Karafuto go? |
 |
| omg tsurumi got outsmarted D: and looks like asirpa and sugimoto aren't gonna work with tsurumi anymore nothing working for tsurumi sad |
 |
| Everything's connected and Shiraishi putting some sense into Sugimoto. |
 |
| The animation is, mildly said, superb! And the details...when Shiraishi was drunk talking to Sugimoto out and their breaths were visible? Or when he was throwing up and there was steam coming out of his vomit? I didn't expect this kind of realisitic detail |
 |
| Very nice episode, very complete. The plot marks several turning points for the future of the anime series!!! kekeke |
| Oh yes Ariko being a double agent they're making the story clever and more interesting, even at this point. And lol Shiraishi at the end with Sugimoto, he's really something when he's drunk xD |
 |
| My boy Tanigaki... |
Oh, God - the lives people try to lead. Oh, God - what a world they try to lead them in! |
| All our little plot points starting to converge. And I'm so down for that. |
 |
| Oh yeah, it's all coming together now. All the plot points that have been built up for so long and that have been built up in the opening few episodes of this season have come together in fantastic fashion here. |
| I usually dont post on this forum or whatever but the ending of this episode was fire, shiraishi was so real for that. Loved his expressions too |
 |
| I would love to throw hands with Usami tbh. He seems like a good sparring parter. "You will be like a boner" Final words befitting a manly farewell. Even if I sound like a broken record, the bits of crude humor sprinkled in the emotional scenes never miss and give Golden Kamuy it's distinctive character. Like the reality check Sugimito received from Shiraishi gave me chills. His body was clowning, yet his mouth was spittin. Pray for an ample share of gold for the man, so that he doesn't have to go for the down horrendous level of bad prostitutes. Tsukishima appears to suppress his thoughts by rationalizing his dedication to Tsurumi. Is it a rude awakening that's awaiting him when he learns more about their "saviors" motivation? Koito is already too far gone lmao Another episode of peak storytelling. The battle of wits at this stage of such an epic adventure amp up the tension which was already high. 5/5  MFDOOMED said: Golden Kamuy low key has the best story off all the anime in this blockbuster season. But that's almost always the case, so it's no big surprise. Golden Kamuy and LotGH stand head and shoulders above the rest. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| After seeing that right at the end it looks like something might be about to go down. |
 |
| It looks like a lot of the story points are starting to converge into each other now and it has me excited. =) The psychological game between Tsurumi and Hijikata was engaging and rather cool. I do feel for Arito for the position he's in as a double agent, but at least he's still alive and kicking. We also had to say farewell to Cikapasi as he decided that he wanted to stay with Enonoka at the small village. His talk with Tanigaki (who shed manly tears as a result) as they said goodbye to each other, along with the inspirational boner message, was very well done. I can understand Sugimoto's stance with Asirpa, but he was good to see Shiraishi put his foot down and gave Sugimoto the vocal double barrel treatment at him about Asirpa that he really needed to hear, before he vomited and farted into the ground likes a mess that he is. XD With everything coming together even more now than before, things will most likely become hectic. I hope that Sugimoto will continue to protect Asirpa as much as he can, but at the same time, let her choose what she truly wants to do. |
| Did I miss something? Things felt a little too sped up in this episode. |
| This was an episode of big brain plays and serious moments, turns out the deal with the blind guy and Ariko wasn’t done, and now Ariko is a double triple agent or something for Tsurumi and Hijikata lol. And the goodbye Enonoka was already pretty heartfelt, then they layered on Tanigaki saying goodbye to Cikapasi which was definitely touching, Tanigaki even gave his rifle he got from the boner guy to him, he’ll be the best damn boner there ever was lol, Golden Kamuy is good at having you laughing right after a feelsy moment like that. And then there was Koito figuring out Tsurumi by confronting Tsukishima, and that Koito realized Tsurumi’s entire plot as Tsukishima has already given in, to which Koito just appears to be even more of a Tsurumi fanatic now lol, but I do wonder if he was just putting on a show to fool Tsukishima or not, I can see both being true. And Shiraishi drunkenly spitting facts to Sugimoto was an awesome way to end it with the ED playing, and once again the immediate comedy with that fart and puking lol. And man it really is a shame we might have to wait a while for the rest of this, but I’m very sorry for the loss and I hope they get ample time make a comeback to this peak anime. |
| Best episode of this season. From amazing mind games between Tsurumi and Hijikata, to Koito's realizations and finally Shiraishi giving Sugimoto a great speech. That's why I love this story! |
| The speech as the end is pretty strong. |
| Hijikata and Tsurumi mind battle. Tanigaki saying goodbye to Cikapasi broke my heart. also farewell to Enonoka and Ryu. Koito realization about Tsurumi only make him simping more. Only in Golden Kamuy they can make Sugimoto and Shiraishi conversation so emotional and funny at the same time. ohh i heard about the unfortunate news, one of the show's main staff members passed away. My deep condolences ๐๐ Second half of the series was postponed until future noticed. |
 |
| I don't like it no more.. I don't understand what's happening, who are half of those people, all those plot holes that are just resolved by people coming up with unbelievable ideas (like that fake skins plot) Where is the plot even headed, what. A recap would have been great.. |
I don't know how signatures work   |
| Hijikata and Tsurumi playing chess and poor Ariko is the chess piece. Damn, what a fantastic episode with all the plot points so far this season coming together. Man, actually going to miss Cikapasi and Enonoka. Can't believe a speech about being a boner can make me emotional, they're standing up forreal forreal. Conversation and the reveals between Koito and Tsukishima were fucking great, I cannot tell if Koito is actually still really amazed with Tsurumi, I'm 50/50, but I guess I am leaning more towards him faking it. The facial expressions, the puking and the farting on Shiraishi's speech to Sugimoto though, beautiful. It's really sad to hear what happened to one of the anime's staff members, postponing the rest of the episodes is understandable, plus it probably has an effect on the production. Anyway, I think we stopped at a good point. Really looking forward for the remaining half of the season, whenever it may come. |
 |
| every character in this show and manga are just so well written this is a masterpiece. Tsukishima is one nasty and hilarious bastard. |
 |
| It's still not the easiest episode to keep up with, but I enjoyed this one a lot. Emotional from a human standpoint, and quite a few plot twists. Good to see some of the previous plot points connecting, and we're left on quite a cliffhanger since this show will be indefinitely postponed. RIP to the staff member. |
| Tsurumi and Hijikata's battle of big brains never cease to amaze me. But seriously, how can Shiraishi act so wise yet so pathetic at the same time? That speech was fantastic but dear God, someone please give that man a glass of water. . . . Also RIP to the staff member who passed away. May his/her soul find peace wherever it goes. |
| this episode was top tier, very sad the show has been delayed but it makes sense given the circumstances regardless I’ll wait forever if it means amazing episodes like this one |
 |
MegamiRem said: Everything's connected and Shiraishi putting some sense into Sugimoto. The last scene with Shiraishi was pure perfection. Hopefully we get the real Sugimoto from next week. |
| Whoever chose that the ED should play over Shiraishi's speech made a big mistake. It turned what should have been a tense scene (with comedic payoff at the end) into an incomprehensible one. I'm guessing they're contracted to play it every episode or something, because I don't see why someone would make that choice otherwise. |

| At last, we're back on track with the gold hunt. I gotta say it's kinda hard follow main plot with every episode full of context, and I don't quite remember every single name and place, and all the events that happened prior to this season. Having said that, it still gives me the same enjoyment I got since the beginning of the series. StateofOhayo said: every character in this show and manga are just so well written this is a masterpiece. I couldn't agree more. And the mind games are never unentertaining to watch. |
Yeah that was laughably bad. I couldn't help but notice several "derp" faces like that this week. To be fair some, like Shiraishi's during his speech, were likely intentional. The material itself remains very strong and was adapted well aside from a few poor faces as mentioned. And so now we go on indefinite hiatus due to tragic circumstances. If anyone's curious this episode adapted almost all of the back-half of Volume 21 of the manga(the manga ended earlier this year with 31 Volumes total.) Only the last few pages of Volume 21's last chapter weren't adapted and next episode's title is the same as Chapter 2 of Volume 22 so...yeah. Unfortunate this happened, but if I'm not mistaken isn't Isekai Ojisan supposed to be returning from its hiatus later on this month? Maybe that can fill the void for awhile while the staff of this series gets things sorted out and back on track for what will hopefully be a strong second half of this season on route to an eventual complete adaptation. |
| This was painfully rushed. I understand the producers' plight though, hope they do the rest well when things get better |
| This episode had my friend and I so confused lol So Cikapasi and Ryu are staying, huh? I'm gonna miss them! On a different note, it's so sad what happened. Really unfortunate that the show is going into indefinite hiatus. |
 |
| OMG another epic episode! Enonoka & Chikapasi lived happily ever after! Tanigaki Nispa's send-off to Chikapasi was emotional boner! BOKKI! BWAHAHA! Koito's orgasm became extreme for Tsurumi! and Shiraishi's rant to Sugimoto was awesome! bad news: this series for delayed...oh no! very very bad news. 5/5. |
 |
| First and Foremost RIP to whoever passed away on the staff. That being said after watching the first 6 episodes I'm really beginning to think that turning this over to Brains Base from Geno might not have been the best decision. |

The confrontation between Koito and Tsukishima should have been much more intense than how it was executed. |
| shiraishi is the goat for that speech |
| why did they take a break it was going good :( |
