## Synopsis

Sugimoto, Asirpa, and Shiraishi rushes over to Ushiyama’s group’s location as the firework came from their position and Sugimoto exclaims that they must hurry as they cannot rely on Kadokura and Kirawus to capture the killer. Meanwhile, Usami attempts to shoot Ushiyama but Ushiyama pushes his rifle out of the way as the other parties hear the gunshot. Usami and Ushiyama begins to grab each other in judo holds but Usami quickly realizes just how strong Ushiyama is.

Ushiyama turns to Kadokura, asking him if Usami is not the criminal and Kadokura reveals that he is one of Tsurumi’s men. Just then, Kikuta, Tsukishima, Koito, and Nikaidou arrives to confront Ushiyama’s group. Koito orders the others not to shoot as they could hit Usami and that he will cut down Ushiyama but Nikaidou warns him not to go near Ushiyama as he is not an easy person to beat. Usami attempts to stab Ushiyama with his knife but Ushiyama throws him at Koito who manages to swiftly dodge him thanks to Tsukishima’s warning.

As Usami flies towards the other soldiers, Ushiyama jumps through the window of the brewery to escape. While the soldiers prepare to engage Ushiyama, Usami instead chases after Kadokura who is fleeing from the scene. Meanwhile, Hijikata’s group corners Ostrog but Ostrog slices at Kantarou, causing Hijikata to shoot at him. One of his bullets manages to hit Ostrog in the shoulder as he successfully makes his escape and Hjiikata yells for Nagakura to set off the flare.

Sugimoto’s group and Toni’s group are confused by the second shot of firework and Toni states that he had heard Hijikata’s gun going off while suggesting that his group split up. Due to the light from Hijikata’s firework, Vasily is able to identify Ogata hiding in one of the towers. Hijikata asks Kantarou about his wound and Kantarou exclaims that it is only a cut above his eye. Hijikata declares that that wound is a man’s scar and is proof that he didn’t turn his back in battle, telling Kantarou to come with him and Kantarou submits with a beam in his eyes.

Kirawus spots Sugimoto’s group and he tells them that Ushiyama went inside the brewery but Sugimoto jumps inside before Kirawus could warn him that the 7th Division are inside as well. Shiraishi is able to hear his warning and heads inside as well to tell Sugimoto but is unable to find him. Asirpa realizes that they got separated from Shiraishi and Sugimoto spots a figure in front him. The figure turns out to be Nikaidou who screams Sugimoto’s name as Sugimoto prepares to fight.

## Synopsis

The Russian sniper, Vasily heads off to confront Asirpa's group but is stopped by one of his comrades who is more concerned about Ilya, the spotter who had been shot. Vasily tells them that the emperor's killer will get away, and notes that Ogata purposely shot Ilya in the stomach so that he will slow them down, allowing them to get away easily. Hearing this, Ilya tells them to go ahead and chase after them.

As the Russians tread through the woods carefully, Vasily wonders what Ogata would do and tries to place himself in Ogata's position as he carefully observes his comrades. He waits for Ogata to shoot them so that he can find his specific spot but realizes that Ogata is only after him. The two Russian men finds a moloccou and picks it up, unknowingly triggering the trap, killing one of them and severely injuring the others.

Vasily watches his injured comrade scream in pain, figuring out that it was Kiroranke who had set the trap. He ponders on Kiroranke's decision to save the elder Orok man and that he couldn't stand Kiroranke's arrogant attitude, daring him to shoot him. He notes that as a sniper, he is the one who gets to decide whether his prey lives or dies. As the injured Russian man continues to scream, Ogata is able to figure out what kind of person Vasily is, and that he would be fine spending the whole night listening to him moan in agony.

Asirpa's group finds the injured Russian spotter, Ilya who takes out a wanted poster of Kiroranke, shocking both Asirpa and Shiraishi, and says that Russia hasn't forgotten about him. Meanwhile, on the battlefield, Vasily manages to find Ogata's position as his eyes widen in anticipation.

**Blessed** (祝福, *Shukufuku*) is the 310th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Ogata manages to get out the arrow head out of his stomach and aims his gun at Asirpa. Sugimoto shouts to Asirpa to kill Ogata while Shiraishi covers her and asks her to get down. Ogata suddenly sees an apparition of Yuusaku in front of him. Ogata calls him a "damn wraith" who always gets in his way. As the poison from Asirpa's arrow starts kicking in, Ogata experiences a delusion: his self "splits" in two, the Ogata on the train and the Ogata from "inside", some form of his subconscious mind. Ogata begins talking to himself, arguing about the nature of Yuusaku's ghost. While going back through different memories, Ogata realizes that he saw Asirpa in Yuusaku all this time.

While part of himself realizes that, Ogata argues that it's an illusion and the pain from his eye getting gouged out. Ogata's subconscious tells Ogata that Yuusaku was the only one who loved him, but Ogata claims he killed him and doesn't regret it. "Inner" Ogata suggests that his feeling of guilt means that he was born from two parents who loved each other, even for a brief moment. Ogata on the train says that his father never loved his mother as he didn't come to her funeral, but "inner" Ogata concludes that it was meaningless. He further argues that his idea of proving that even a "defective" person could become second lieutenant and the commander of the 7th Division was worthless, too. This makes Ogata realize that he wasn't a lacking, defective person, but a person who chose the path that he felt a defective person would take. Hearing this, Ogata breaks down more, yelling that if it's true that means all of his actions were a mistake. Ogata's subconscious asks him if he is happy and says that he saw Yuusaku in Asirpa, and she made him realize those feelings of guilt.

As Ogata struggles to fight back those thoughts (*"No more!! Don't think anymore!!"*), the torment of Ogata's mental breakdown becomes too difficult to bear. Ogata grabs his rifle and points it as his left eye, using Hijikata's katana to pull the trigger. Yuusaku's apparition appears again, hugging Ogata from behind and holding the rifle in his hands. He tells Ogata that he was born a blessed child. Ogata shoots himself in the head and falls down from the train, with Yuusaku's ghost clinging to him and laughing.

Asirpa shoots the bear and it falls down to the train car. Sugimoto and Shiraishi comfort distressed Asirpa but the trio feel the train rock. They check the engine room and see that there's nobody inside, meaning that the train is out of control and they're going to smash right into Hakodate station. Tsurumi walks out of the train car to the engine room and Asirpa aims her arrow at him, determined to kill him.

## Synopsis

As Asirpa's group prepares to hunt the reindeers, Ogata tells everyone to stay back as he will start to shoot the reindeers. One by one, he is able to take down the reindeers before they have the opportunity to flee. He throws his empty rifle to Kiroranke, telling him to reload it and asks the Orok man to give him his own rifle, which he uses to finish the hunt with ease.

Shiraishi is amazed that Ogata was able to take down the whole herd by himself and the Orok men are concerned that if Ogata were to stay around, all the reindeers in the area will disappear. Asirpa tells them to begin skinning the reindeers as they will have to make several trips to carry all the meat back. At the Orok settlement, they eat the reindeer meat as well as some food prepared by the Orok women. Kiroranke gives one of them an Ainu needle case as a gift and turns to the elder, saying that he has a favour to ask of him.

Kiroranke speaks to the rest of the group, saying that due to all of their complicated background, it will be impossible for them to enter Russia using a passport and says that they will have to sneak in. As such, they will have to rely on the nomadic Orok people who has tacit permission to move across the borders and to disguise themselves among them.

Elsewhere, Tsurumi tells Nikaidou about the assassination of Emperor Alexander II which was orchestrated by a group called the "People's Will". The members of this party were all captured and executed save for one person, which Tsurumi reveals to be Kiroranke, who was a teenager at the time. Predicting Kiroranke's course of action, he told the Russians that Kiroranke will attempt to cross the border in the near future, hiding out among one of the nomadic groups.

As Asirpa's group rides the sled, one of the Orok men is shot by a sniper, startling everyone. Ogata tells Asirpa to stay down and take cover while noting that the sniper went after the one with his rifle, and that the gun trade had saved his life. Ogata discerned that the shot came from a distance away and that they must be dealing with an experienced sniper as they cross into Russia.

## The Smell of Sulfur

**The Smell of Sulfur** (硫黄のにおい, *Iō no Nioi*) is the 194th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Kikuta had foresaw that he would have to do battle at night so he wore an eyepatch over his left eye before the sun had set, which allowed him to become adjusted to the dark. He fires off a couple of shots at one of the blind man who barely avoids them and Toni yells at his men to fall back since Kikuta can see them now and to head down to the valley. The Hell Valley is filled with volcanic gas which makes it difficult for Kikuta to spot his preys as he looks around. Toni puts his transmitter device on as he complains about the smell of sulfur and says that he will go live near the ocean once he gets his share of the Ainu gold.

As a rock came tumbling down the valley, Kikuta fires several shots from his guns, which allows one of the blind men to hit and ensnare him with his weapon. He then lifts Kikuta up and Toni, using the echolocation from his device, is able to shoot Kikuta in the chest. Meanwhile, Ariko hears gunshots from the direction of Hell Valley. Kikuta is able to shrug off the gunshot and kills the blind man that had attacked him, revealing that his body is covered by Nagant M1895 guns that he had gotten as war trophies from the Russians. The other blind man approaches Kikuta, about to attack him, but Kikuta turns around to find that the blind man had been impaled by Usami's bayonet as he pleads Kikuta not to shoot him.

The blind man warns Toni that more soldiers have arrived before Kikuta kills him and Toni notices that Nikaidou has marked him before fleeing. Ariko approaches Kikuta and tells him that what he saw was a tattoo and Kikuta leads the charge against Toni. He turns to Usami and notes that him arriving to help him was a little too on time and realizes that he and Nikaidou knew all along that a tattooed convict was here, to which Usami admits it. Ariko wonders why a tattooed convict would put himself in danger by hiding out at a hot spring resort used by the 7th Division. Meanwhile, Nikaidou recognizes one of the blind men as being the anma that had massaged Usami earlier.

Kikuta, Ariko, and Usami follows Toni's footprints to an old mine and Kikuta wonders if there are any other exits inside, which was confirmed by Ariko since he had been inside it as a child. Kikuta warns the others not to light a match as it would make them easy target and tells them to be quiet. However, Usami knocks over an ice stalagmite and is shot in the leg by Toni. Kikuta realizes that there are numerous ice stalagmites on the ground and that they should be extremely cautious in moving around as Toni gloats that he has gotten the upper hand over the 7th Division.

Chapter 297

## Escape from Goryokaku

**Escape from Goryokaku** (五稜郭脱出, *Goryōkaku dasshutsu*) is the 297th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

At the north entrance of Fort Goryokaku, Sofia leading the Russian revolutionaries fights off the 7th Division for control over the bridge. One of the soldiers lobs a hand grenade at Sofia, however several revolutionaries jumps in the way to protect Sofia, costing them their lives. Sofia emerges from the rubble of disfigured bodies and continues to fight with a firm determination on her face.

The citizens of Hakodate are watching the battle from behind the trees when suddenly a man rides off on horseback towards the fort. At the fort, a stable near the north entrance is lit on fire, catching the attention of everyone fighting and Sugimoto recognizes it as Shiraishi’s signal that he will attempt to escape the fort. As Shiraishi disguises himself as a 7th Division soldier in order to move about freely, Sugimoto suggests to Hijikata that they make a temporary retreat as well and that they can still regroup and come back since they killed plenty of Tsurumi’s men.

Koito runs around the fort, telling the soldiers to go to the east entrance since Sugimoto’s Group and Hijikata’s Group may be planning to escape. He notes that since they have the land deed, he doubts that they will try to swim across the moat, lest the deed gets wet. Tsukishima asks Tsurumi if he wishes to investigate the stable, but Tsurumi runs off somewhere on his own. Shiraishi attempts to slip by a pair of soldiers, saying that he has a message, but his cover is blown by Koito who warns the soldiers not to shoot the bag as Asirpa and the deed are inside it.

As Shiraishi tries to flee across the bridge, he is intercepted by more soldiers and Koito cuts the rope holding the bag, causing it to fall on the railing of the bridge. Just then Nagakura jumps into the fray and swiftly kills several soldiers as Koito acknowledges his presence. As the bag threatens to fall into the moat, Shiraishi begins to panic, noting that the bag does not have Asirpa or the deed, but some rope inside of it instead.

Since the deed is protected by the diatomaceous earth and stomach skin, Shiraishi’s plan was to get across the bridge and throw the rope which Asirpa can hold onto as he pulls her over with his horse. Shiraishi laments that the plan has failed and that Asirpa will have to cross over on her own. As Asirpa wonders why Shiraishi isn’t coming for her, she spots Toni’s corpse and is upset by the sight before she notices Tsurumi charging towards her. At the north entrance bridge, Nagakura challenges Koito to a sword fight, calling him a potato samurai from Satsuma.

Boutarou wonders why Shiraishi is still in Hokkaido when he could have had the easy life in Gion. As Sugimoto prepares to attack Boutarou, Shiraishi motions for Sugimoto to calm down as they would need to obtain information from Boutarou first. Shiraishi turns back to Boutarou and tells him that they are looking for people who knows where the Ainu gold was originally hidden at. Boutarou is surprised by Shiraishi’s statement and asks if they had also heard the rumour that it is no longer possible to solve the code hidden in their tattoos, shocking both Sugimoto and Shiraishi.

One of Boutarou’s henchmen calls out to him to draw his attention to another boat approaching them and they spot several soldiers onboard it. Sugimoto wonders if the soldiers are Tsurumi’s men and Shiraishi says that it will be a big problem if the 7th Division knew of their whereabouts. Boutarou tells the captain to start up the boat as his henchmen surrounds the room containing the other passengers, much to their discomfort. Just then, a postal worker riding on the boat tells the other passengers to block the doors and stand down as he draws out his own gun.

As the two boats passes by each other, the soldiers and Boutarou’s henchmen waves to each other while Boutarou tells the captain not to try anything funny. One of the henchmen demands that the passengers opens up the door to their room and the postal worker fires at him, killing him, however the henchman was actually killed by Vasily. Everyone is alarmed by the gunshot and Vasily kills more of the henchmen with the postal worker believing that he is responsible for taking them down. The soldiers decides to turn back and prepares to board the steamboat.

Boutarou tells the captain to allow him to take position of the wheel and rams the steamboat into the other ship’s waterwheel before pulling away. The impact of the collision causes the rope pulling Vasily’s boat to snap and Vasily quietly stares at the steamboat as he is left behind. Boutarou and Shiraishi begins to gloat about Boutarou’s action, however the postal worker continues to shoot outside at Sugimoto’s Group and Boutarou’s henchmen.

Meanwhile, in the banya, the soldiers are complaining that the wolverine is still outside of the cabin and that the heat from the steam house is getting to them. Gansoku adds some more steam to the room, much to Tsukishima's ire, and takes out a venik, a bundle of leafy silver birch twigs, which he slaps Koito with.

As Gansoku continues to hit the soldiers with the venik, Tanigaki asks him to stop and that they need to work together to get out of their situation. But Gansoku knows that they just want to kill him for his tattoo and wonders who will exit the banya first. The soldiers then decides to strike back with the venik as Gansoku screams for more.

**Lecture Hall**, or **The Lecture Hall** (教誨堂, *Kyōkaidō*) is the 134th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Asirpa slips away and heads back for Sugimoto as soon as she hears that Nopperabou is in the prayer hall. Hijikata notices her absence, but decides against going after her, as they can’t let Inudou get away. For the time being, Hijikata must rely on the photos he took with Asirpa to gain Nopperabou’s trust.

Kiroranke pulls Asipra aside as 7th Division soldiers pass by. They also meet Shiraishi, who lets them know that Sugimoto is trapped in the crawlspace vent under the prison cells. Kiroranke takes it upon himself to go help him. Asirpa hands Kiroranke the makiri her father made for her to give to Sugimoto.

Kiroranke manages to free Sugimoto with hand grenades; however, the explosion reveals the hole in the floor of the cell to Nikaidou. Kiroranke tells Sugimoto to head for the prayer hall and hands him Asirpa’s makiri. Sugimoto asks Kiroranke to tell Asirpa his promise that he will reunite her with her father.

After Kiroranke leaves, Sugimoto notices he is being followed by Nikaidou and shoves away his rifle. Nikaidou stabs at him with his bayonet, but Sugimoto catches the blade with his teeth.

At the prayer hall, Toni and Hijikata have realized that Nopperabou is being kept somewhere in the cellar. Toni manages to find the door, but as he’s opening it Inudou slams an iron ball down on his skull. Toni is able to shoot him before he goes down, and they both collapse to the floor. Hearing the commotion, Hijikata goes over and checks Toni’s pulse. Nopperabou creeps up behind him, and while Hijikata’s back is turned, Inudou handcuffs his and Hijikata's arms together.

Chapter 187

## Impurity and Sin

**Impurity and Sin**, or **Sin and Impurity** (罪穢れ, *Tsumikegare*) is the 187th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Sugimoto uses the *hoparata* technique by flapping his coat in the heavy winds as he exclaims that something that Asirpa had taught him ended up saving the day again. Meanwhile, Ogata presses Asirpa into telling him what she remembered. When Asirpa continues to stay silent, Ogata tells her that he is just doing what Sugimoto had asked of him. Ogata's words manages to get Asirpa to listen as Ogata tells her of seeing Sugimoto shortly after he and Wilk had been shot at Abashiri Prison.

Ogata says that Sugimoto had pleaded to him to help his best friend's widow. Asirpa gets angry that Ogata had never told her about Sugimoto's last words and that he had previously told her that Sugimoto was already dead when he checked on him. However, Ogata maintains the lie and asks if she wants to hear more about Sugimoto's final moment and Asirpa asks if Sugimoto had told him the name of his friend's widow.

Ogata tells her that the woman's name was "Tome" and that if they ask the army, they will be able to find out where Sugimoto was raised and that way they will be able to find her right away. Asirpa continues to ask more questions about Sugimoto, including what he wanted to eat one last time, and Ogata claims that Sugimoto had wanted to eat anglerfish nabe. Hearing this, Asirpa sees through Ogata's lies, knowing that Sugimoto's favourite food is dried persimmons.

Asirpa attempts to pull away from Ogata, but he holds on tightly before she is able to break free, stumbling over as her arrows fell out. As Ogata tries to get Asirpa to calm down, she grabs her bow and arrow, pointing them at Ogata, telling him to stay away from her and that she cannot trust a single word that he says. Ogata finally admits that he has been lying to Asirpa before saying that there was something that had been bothering him for quite some time.

Ogata recalls that the first time they had met, she stopped Sugimoto from killing him, citing her pledge not to kill anyone during the battle of the gold so as to stay pure. Ogata says that he found it strange, asking if Wilk had not taught her about killing people and wonders if the icon of the Ainu has to remain "pure". Asirpa is confused by Ogata's words, and Ogata urges her to kill him, saying that "pure" people don't exist in this world.

Ogata thinks that Asirpa does not have a reason to kill, so she may have some guilty conscience about killing him so he reveals that he was the one who had killed her father. Asirpa is visibly shaken as Ogata continues to tempt her to kill him but Asirpa states that she will not kill him. Ogata then takes out his rifle and aims it at Asirpa, saying that it is not right for people like her to exist. Unbeknownst to Ogata, Sugimoto approaches them with a furious look on his face.

## Synopsis

Kiroranke blocks Koito's knife attack to his neck with his hand, pushing it aside so that he can finish stabbing Koito in his chest. Just then, Tsukishima and Tanigaki shoots Kiroranke and he collapses to the ground, allowing Koito to get up. Koito tells them not to interfere as he grabs his saber, declaring that he will finish Kiroranke by himself. When Tanigaki and Tsukishima begins to lower their guards, Kiroranke detonates a bomb and throws it at Koito and Tsukishima.

However, Koito is quick to react and cuts the bomb, which floats away from the charge in its bottom that was slashed. Tsukishima yells for Tanigaki to fire at Kiroranke but Asirpa tells him to wait as she, Sugimoto, Shiraishi, and an unconscious Ogata joins them. She says to Tanigaki not to shoot Kiroranke as there is something that she needs to ask him. Tsukishima does not want to listen but Asirpa pleads to him that if Kiroranke dies, she will never know the truth.

As he struggles to stay alive, Kiroranke tells Asirpa to run away and talk about Wilk with Sofia, believing that the key is inside her. Asirpa stares at Kiroranke's wound before saying that her memories had returned and thanks him for getting her to remember. Kiroranke's expression softens as he looks back on the time that they had spent together, thankful that their journey was not in vain. Kiroranke tells Asirpa that he is leaving the rest to her, for their sake and with Sofia and as he recalls a memory of Sofia, calls out her name. Asirpa asks him if it is true that he had killed her father but Kiroranke stays silent forever as Asirpa repeats his name.

## On the Night of the New Moon

**On the Night of the New Moon** (新月の夜に, *Shingetsu no Yoru ni*) is the 128th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

In Abashiri Prison, the guards are doing their daily escort of Noppera-Bou to another cell which Kadokura notes. As he is making his patrols, a prisoner calls out to him and asks about Noppera-Bou. He says that he heard that the 7th Division will storm the prison and kill everyone within to cover up the attack. Kadokura tells the prisoner that he will give them guns to fight against them while he makes his escape.

Before the two groups commence their plan, they go over on how to enact it, which Shiraishi believes will be an even greater risk due to different circumstances. Hijikata warns Kadokura that should they fail the mission, he will be exposed as a wanted man. However, Kadokura tells him that he has no real attachment to his job and that he would follow him, thinking it would make his late father happy.

Kadokura reveals that due to the mass breakouts, most of the guards have been replaced with newer ones and thus he is the only one working with Hijikata. Hijikata calls out to Ogata who had been hiding in the tunnel and tells him to get out. He then reveals that he heard from Tanigaki about his father and casts doubts on him. Ogata responds with a retort and draws back into the tunnel, mocking their trust in each other. Elsewhere, Inudou is practicing his swordsmanship by himself. Sugimoto wonders if Noppera-Bou really does have blue eyes but even Kadokura does not know despite having been in the prison for seven years and that the only reason he was still there was because he had been playing stupid.

As Sugimoto and Asirpa scout the perimeter, Shiraishi asks Inkarmat if she had done divination to determine Noppera-Bou's true identity. She says she has many times, and that she had received mostly "no" in regards to him being Wilk. However, her divination had been giving her more "yes" lately. Shiraishi asks her to do one more divination but stops it at the last moment so as not to have any last minute doubts and that they should just go and find out for themselves.

On the night of a pitch black moonless night, the two groups finally carry out their plan. Sugimoto, Asirpa, and Shiraishi will be the ones to infiltrate the prison with Toni being their guide in the complete darkness. However, mere moments into their infiltration, they are immediately caught by a couple of guards with a lantern, asking who they are.

A herd of deer runs across the field and over some train tracks, however the last one is instantly struck and killed by a runaway train as Ogata muses that nothing can stop the train. In the first train car, the 7th Division soldiers crowds around the door, curious about what is happening in the cars behind them. Meanwhile in the second car, the soldiers prepares themselves for a fight as they warn each not to shoot too much as they might risk hitting one of their own men.

In the third train car, Tsukishima charges towards Ushiyama before throwing his rifle at the giant man. Ushiyama attempts to block it with his arm, but it goes through his arm and pierces his head as well. As Tsukishima grabs another gun, Ushiyama throws a soldier around, trying to hit Tsukishima with the unfortunate soldier. Tsukishima avoids it and pokes his bayonet at Ushiyama but he swiftly dodges it before grabbing hold of his rifle, much to Tsukishima's chagrin. Sensing Tsukishima's frustration, Ushiyama proudly boasts his strength to Tsukishima.

In the fourth train car, Hijikata cuts down every soldiers in the vehicle before spotting Koito who has his sword drawn to fight him. Hijikata turns towards Koito, noting that he is the Satsuma Hayato that he has been hearing about. Meanwhile, Asirpa and Shiraishi continues to hide under the seats as they contemplate on running into the city once they reach Hakodate station. Asirpa states that no doubt, Tsurumi is after the land deed and that she cannot let him take it from her, no matter what.

Ushiyama grabs Tsukishima's collars and throws him with all his might towards the door, narrowly missing Sugimoto, who jumps past him as he notices Tsukishima's presence. Sugimoto then turns to Ushiyama, telling him not to lose and Ushiyama says that they both must make it through this fight so that they can feast their eyes on the gold again. Shiraishi opens the car door, telling Asirpa to hurry up so that they won't get separated from Sugimoto. Unbeknownst to Shiraishi, Tsurumi waits from above and points his pistol at Shiraishi, however he is interrupted by Ogata, who joins him on top of the car.

The **7th Division** (第七師団, *Daishichishidan*) of the Imperial Japanese Army, formerly led by the late Lieutenant General Hanazawa Koijirou, is one of the opposing forces of the Golden Kamuy series. Led by the First Lieutenant Tokushirou Tsurumi, their unit is planning to rebel against the Central Government, take over the main 7th Division base in Asahikawa and create a military government in Hokkaido.

## Overview

During the Russo-Japanese War, 7th Division was sent into the heat of the most violent battles such as Siege of Port Arthur and Battle of Mukden. Despite suffering heavy losses, their contributions were crucial to the Japanese victory.

Tsurumi’s plan to turn Hokkaido in to the 7th division’s military government is to use the Ainu gold to buy the latest weapons mostly from America and then build a weapons factory.

## Trivia

* Series creator Satoru Noda's great-grandfather, who was also named Saichi Sugimoto, served in 27th Cavalry Regiment of the 7th Division during the Russo-Japanese War.

## The Old Man and the Mountain

* Volume

**The Old Man and the Mountain** (老人と山, *Rōjin to yama*) is the 29th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Summary

Asirpa tells Nihei to put her down. She pleads with Nihei, saying that Retar is the last of his kind. She asks if Nihei is going to wipe out the proud *Horkew Kamuy* just for some coins. Nihei claims the wolves are already wiped out and he doesn't care about the money — he just wants to be the last hunter to see a Hokkaido wolf.

Nihei brings Asirpa to an open spot. Asirpa tries to put up a fight but Nihei ties her to a tree branch, telling her to not bother trying to kill herself by biting off her tongue. Asirpa cuts him off, saying that she isn't going to kill herself and all that matters to her is that Retar doesn't become a *wen kamuy*. Nihei recognizes the term, reciting that "that's when an animal kills a human and becomes an evil god". However, Nihei says there's nothing to worry about: human life isn't worth that much.

Nihei tells Asirpa that their fight with Retar is a fight to the death between two beasts, and Nihei plans to survive. He promises to end it in one shot so Retar won't suffer.

Retar appears and charges towards Nihei. Nihei aims his gun and fires a few shots but Retar manages to dodge every one of them. Nihei is amazed and thinks that Retar might understand how a gun works. Retar jumps at Nihei and bites into his left arm. Nihei puts the barrel of his gun to Retar's head and announces his victory.

Suddenly, another wolf jumps at Nihei from the back and bites into his neck. Ryu rushes to Nihei's defense, barking loudly at the wolves and shielding Nihei from them. The wolf joins Retar, and Nihei realizes that they're a heat pack. Even while gravely injured, Nihei remarks how Retar's mate didn't respect the rules of a battle between men, attesting how terrifying women are. Still, Nihei is satisfied in his dying moments.

Sugimoto and Shiraishi arrive at the scene and free Asirpa. Asirpa hears howling and sees four wolf cubs. Asirpa is deeply touched by seeing Retar's family. She is reminded of the night when Retar left and realizes that this is the reason of his departure.

Lastly, Tanigaki joins the others. He sits down with now deceased Nihei and reads the Matagi chant to him to guide Nihei in the afterlife.

Asirpa insists they take Tanigaki and Ryu with them to the Ainu village. Shiraishi, who's been carrying Tanigaki on the stretcher, takes a break and says he is going to rest until Sugimoto catches up. Nearby, Sugimoto is seen retrieving Nihei's tattooed skin and marching on.
