## Hesitation

* Volume
* Magazine

**Hesitation** (迷い, *Mayoi*) is the 305th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Hijikata lunges at Koito with his sword but Koito deftly avoids the attack before jumping backwards in order to avoid another strike from the Shinsengumi veteran. However, Hijikata manages to leave a small cut on Koito's chest and he warns Koito that if there is still hesitation in his heart, then he should get off the train as he hasn't managed to become like a dead man. Upon hearing Hijikata's words, Koito thinks back to when Hijikata's comrade, Nagakura calls him a novice and that he does not even come close to the Satsuma soldiers he fought against four decades ago.

Koito recalls another memory of training with his father and elder brother as his father gives him some advice as well as another memory of when Tsurumi laments Koito's hesitation despite his brilliant sword skills. As Koito surveys the wounded 7th Division soldiers, he notes that Satsuma swordsmen were strong because they had put everything, including their lives into their first strike and that he cannot hope to win against Hijikata even if he threw all his hesitation away. However, he prepares himself to fight for the sake of other people than just himself and raises his sword with a firm look in his eyes, which Hijikata commends before challenging him.

In the third train car, Ushiyama throws Tsukishima against the wall of the car and Tsukishima notes that the soldiers are no match for Ushiyama but one of the soldiers nearby hands him a hand grenade to use against Ushiyama. Meanwhile, Asirpa and Shiraishi hides under a seat behind Ushiyama as the giant walks menacingly towards the wounded soldiers. Tsukishima then pulls the pin off the grenade and throws it at Ushiyama but Ushiyama manages to catch it with his hands, surprising Tsukishima, and throws it back at him, causing it to explode above Tsukishima's head.

Hijikata is distracted by the explosion, giving Koito an opening to attack him but Hijikata lifts a bayonet with his foot and pulls it towards Koito's face. However, Koito ignores the bayonet, slicing his left cheek, and continues his attack on Hijikata, who blocks his fierce blow with his own sword. In the second train car, Sugimoto pushes against a group of soldiers as he exclaims that he must cut down the number of pursuers before they reach the station. As the soldiers in the first train car attempts to get a view of the fight at the end of the second car, one of the soldiers turns around only to be greeted by a huge bear walking towards them.

## Cinematograph

* Volume
* Magazine

**Cinematograph** (シネマトグラフ, *Shinematogurafu*) is the 205th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Sugimoto and Tsukishima talks about Asirpa's interactions with both Kiroranke and Ogata. Tsukishima believes that Asirpa realized what the key to solving the tattooed code was and that she had given the code to Ogata but Sugimoto denies this and says that he will talk to Asirpa, telling Tsukishima not to interfere. He says that Tsurumi will arrive in Karafuto soon and despite not having met him yet, is certain that Asirpa will never open up to Tsurumi.

At a Karafuto inn, Katsutarou Inaba and Girel shows off their cinematograph to Sugimoto's Group and they are surprised to see a motion picture of Ainu men dancing. Asirpa asks the two filmmakers if they had made anything else like Ainu folk tales but Inaba says that they did not as their cinematograph cannot record voices. Initially disappointed, Asirpa bounces back, saying that they should turn the Ainu folk tales into motion pictures as well.

Inaba is skeptical about the idea, saying that recording the folk tales on phonograph would be better but Asirpa insists that the stories would be better told as moving images and that even people who speaks different languages would be able to understand their stories. When Inaba begins to argue with Asirpa, Sugimoto threatens him, saying that if Asirpa had not saved them, then they would have been killed by the wolverines.

After Inaba and Girel had relented, Asirpa begins directing "The Tale of Pananpe and Penanpe" with Sugimoto's Group as the cast of the movie. During the filming, the crew goes over several stories of the folk tale but Asirpa is frustrated that they are unable to convey anything with their project and so Sugimoto suggests that they do a more serious story. They begin production on "The Life of Kesorap", a tale of three brothers in which the oldest brother, played by Tanigaki, reveals himself to be a bird kamuy named Kesorap.

As Tanigaki flies through the sky with the help of Sugimoto, Shiraishi, and Tsukishima, Cikapasi stares up at Tanigaki's figure. Asirpa begins to yell at Cikapasi for just standing around with a blank look on his face and explains the story to him in which his character will be saying farewell to his benefactor. Cikapasi begins to cry, calling out Tanigaki's name and the bird suit breaks, dropping Tanigaki to the ground. Asirpa is amazed by the event and turns to Inaba and Girel, asking them if they got the scene.

## Synopsis

Naked and surrounded by Toni's gang, Sugimoto's group prepares to defend themselves against their blind foes as Toni recognizes Shiraishi's voice and asks if they were hired by the mining company. Shiraishi tries to reason with them but Toni ignores his requests and tells them to get out of the spring or he'll kill them. He hears a sound and begins to wrap his vest around his hand in order to fend off Ryu who lunges at him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sugimoto's group exits the spring and makes their escape while Ogata was able to retrieve his rifle. As Shiraishi says they've got to escape into the woods, he bumps into a tree and falls unconscious. Toni's men are able to subdue Sugimoto momentarily but he easily overpowers them, saying that their attacks won't kill him. Tanigaki grabs Kiroranke, thinking that he is Cikapasi and attempts to make a run with him as the latter screams in pain. Just then, Toni lets out an echolocation and fires at Sugimoto, alerting Asirpa to the sound.

In the forest, Tanigaki and Kiroranke hides from Toni's gang and comments that while Toni is the only bandit with a gun, Ogata also has one and that the bandits may not realize that. As Ogata lies in wait, Toni smells something in the air which turns out to be a torch lit by Asirpa. She is then approached by a bandit who tells her to put the fire out. Toni yells at him to stay away from the torch but is too late as Ogata kills the bandit, illuminated by the light. Enraged, Toni shoots at Ogata's general location as Ogata takes to bide his time with four bullets left.

Asirpa attempts to make her way around the forest but is grabbed by Sugimoto who tells her he is fine but that the kotan kor kamuy must be angry with him as Asirpa notices that he is bleeding. Sugimoto notes that if they can keep running until dawn, they should be able to counterattack Toni's gang. Just then, Toni appears behind them, drawn to Sugimoto's blood that has been shed as Sugimoto and Asirpa tries to be as silent as possible.

## Antique

**Antique** (骨董品, *Kotsutōhin*) is the 291st chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

The 7th Division resumes their bombardment on Fort Goryokaku as Tsurumi deduces that if there is truly a land deed, the one holding it must be either Sugimoto, Hijikata, or Asirpa. Tsurumi suspects that the three possible holders are somewhere in the fort, taking shelter from the bombardment and so the 7th Division will take control of Fort Goryokaku and steal the deed. He declares that if the soldiers were to break through the enemy lines, then they can topple the enemy defenses from the inside as they will be the spear that destroys the revolutionaries' defenses.

The 7th Division and the revolutionaries continues to exchange fire against each other until Tsurumi comes charging out, shooting a revolutionary in the head. Just as the other revolutionaries takes notice of Tsurumi, they are instantly killed by a ship bombardment and their remains falls over the 7th Division, much to Koito's discomfort. Tsurumi proudly exclaims that there is nothing to fear and that with Koito's father behind them, none of his ship's blasts will ever hit the son.

At the north entrance, the 7th Division pushes back against the revolutionaries as one of them urges Sofia to retreat, but she refuses, saying that she will remain on the battlefield. Just then, a cannon shot lands near Rear Admiral Koito's ship, surprising the Imperial Japanese Navy. They soon discover that a Russian revolutionary, Mansur is directing the cannon fire as they prepare to move in order to avoid any further shots. However, Kadokura's Group were able to hit their ship with another cannon shot and they begin praising Mansur's cannoneer skills before continuing on with their cannon fires.

As the navy attempts to recover from the firing, another one of their ships is hit by the cannon shot as well, causing severe damage to it. The damage causes the ship to lopside and one of the ship's cannons ignites, firing a shot at the Army's scout balloon, destroying it in the process. Ushiyama is amazed as he wonders if Kadokura's Group were responsible for taking it down and Hijikata states that the Kaitenmaru's main cannon has protected Fort Goryokaku as it was something they had left unfinished back then. Meanwhile, Kadokura's Group celebrates at having completed their mission.

**Gamble** (博打, *Bakuchi*) is the 10th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

As Sugimoto stands with his hands up, cornered by the 7th Division soldiers, he has to make a tough decision. After repeatedly telling Sugimoto to get down, the soldiers decide to shoot out Sugimoto's knees. Before they can do that, Sugimoto jumps into the bear's den behind him, screaming that he is immortal. The soldiers ask the officer in charge if they should smoke out Sugimoto, but he replies that there's no need and they should just start shooting. A soldier with a scar on his face wonders if they might kill Sugimoto while shooting, which won't let them interrogate him about what happened to Ogata. However, the officer says that he can hardly believe that Sugimoto is worthy of being called "immortal" or said to "fight like a devil"; he suggests they put the legend to the test and see if Sugimoto dies that easily.

As the soldiers start shooting in the bear's den, they are surprised by a bear's roar. A huge brown bear comes out of its den and attacks the soldier, hitting him with its claws and ripping off the skin on his face and breaking his jaw. The soldier accidentally fires in the man behind him, killing him instantly. The scarred soldier remains still and asks the bear to calm itself. He reminisces of his grandfather who worked in the mountains and told him how to act when meeting a brown bear: one should stand still and calmly talk to the bear while maintaining eye contact. The soldier then shoots at the bear, wanting to take revenge for his grandfather, who was eaten by a brown bear. However, the shot hardly grazes the bear and it attacks the soldier, biting into his neck and mauling him with its sharp claws. The soldier attempts to fight back, stabbing the animal with his bayonet and telling it to "come and get him".

Some time later, the officer with his face torn off is seen shooting at the dying bear before falling to the ground and succumbing to his own wounds. The other two soldiers are also dead, with the scarred soldier gutted and tossed up on the tree branches.

When everyone is dead, Sugimoto comes out of the den, holding a bear cub that was in the burrow with him. He thinks of Asirpa's words and says the she was right about a brown bear never killing a human that enters its den. Sugimoto wonders if Asirpa managed to throw off her pursuer. He looks at the bear cub and tells him that he can't leave him here so he will take him with him. However, Sugimoto warns the bear that Asirpa might turn him into *citatap*.

**700 Vicious Criminals**, or **Seven Hundred Violent Men** (700人の凶悪犯, *700-Nin no Kyōaku-han*) is the 133rd chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Asirpa insists to Hijikata and Toni that they must go back to rescue Sugimoto, but Hijikata reminds her that all of them, including Sugimoto, have come this far so she could reunite with her father and learn the location of the hidden gold. After some hesitation, Asirpa agrees.

Meanwhile, Sugimoto futilely tries to use the fake Nopperabou to get Tsurumi and his subordinates to back away. Nikaidou suddenly breaks to the front and shoots at Sugimoto, killing the fake Nopperabou (unbeknownst to the 7th Division), and forcing Sugimoto back into the fake Nopperabou's cell. Sugimoto shouts at them to leave the building, or he will shoot Nopperabou in the head.

At this moment, Usami spots Kadokura sneaking away from his station. He chases after him and manages to shoot him in the shoulder, but Kadokura gets the upper hand once he releases a mechanism that unlocks all of the cells of the prison simultaneously. All 700 prisoners charge at the 63 soldiers present of the 7th Division. In the ensuing chaos, Nikaidou slips into the fake Nopperabou’s cell, but Sugimoto and Shiraishi have already made their escape, using the fake Nopperabou’s corpse to cover the hole they’ve sawed into the floor.

Sugimoto and Shiraishi have realized that Hijikata’s plan all along was to get them to create a commotion at the fake Nopperabou's cell, and follow Inudou towards where he is hiding the real Nopperabou, separating Asirpa from Sugimoto in the process. Shiraishi is able to squeeze through the crawlspace vent by dislocating his shoulders, but Sugimoto remains stuck. While he tries to find a way to escape, he tells Shiraishi to find Asirpa, ensure she is safe, and wait for him at the main gate.

By this time, Hijikata, Toni, and Asirpa have followed Inudou up to the prison prayer hall. Hijikata mentions he had his suspicions about the building from the way Inudou would visit it every day to train, but no matter how many times Kadokura had investigated, he hadn’t turned up anything. Hijikata declares they will step in the moment Inudou tries to relocate Nopperabou.

Alexander II

**Overview**
Gallery

* Manga
* Anime

**Alexander II** (Александр II) was the emperor of Russia, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Finland.

## Appearance

Alexander II is a middle-aged man with heavy outlines on his face, balding head with hair that sticks out at the side of his ears and a beard. He also wears a regal military uniform adorned with many decorations.

## Personality

Not much is known about Alexander II's personality, however he was seen reacting in horror when Wilk threw a bag of explosives into his carriage.

## Background

In 1881, Alexander II was doing a roll call in Saint Petersburg, when a fifteen year old Kiroranke attempted to throw a bag of explosives into his carriage but missed and hit one of his horses. However, Wilk managed to pick up the bag and successfully threw it into the carriage as Alexander II could only stare at him in shock before being killed by the explosion.

## Legacy

Though Alexander II is long dead by the current time, his death became the motive for the Russian government to issue bounties for Kiroranke and Wilk, both of whom were directly involved in the assassination and managed to escape with their lives.

## Trivia

* Alexander II is based on his real life counterpart Alexander II of Russia although circumstances surrounding his death are different, such as Kiroranke and Wilk's involvement.
	+ However, there's something close to reality which might've inspired this story.

Chapter 231

## Birth

**Birth**, or **Childbirth** (出産, *Shussan*) is the 231st chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

At Asirpa’s kotan, Tanigaki notes that there is a soldier from the 7th Division keeping watch on them but Osoma’s mother reassures him that Makanakkuru always has him drink a ton of alcohol so that he does not wake up before noon. Tanigaki then asks about Huci touching Inkarmat’s belly, to which Osoma’s mother reveals that Huci is checking to see whether their child will be a boy or a girl so that they can deliver the baby safely, having served as a midwife since she was 19 years old.

Tanigaki tells them that he will leave Inkarmat in their hands and says that he will confront Tsukishima as he knows about their kotan. Despite Inkarmat’s pleads, Tanigaki declares that he will be back and that he is immortal before rushing out. However, he is quickly disarmed and knocked down to the ground by Tsukishima, who exclaims that he has been making too many wrong choices for quite some time. Powerless, Tanigaki declares that he is the only one that Tsukishima needs to kill and implores him not to kill anyone else.

Just then, Koito shows up, asking Tsukishima not to kill Tanigaki and Inkarmat, saying that they can find other means of locating Asirpa. Tsukishima states that a threat loses its meaning if one does not go through it with it and that it won’t serve as a warning to anyone else. He then points his gun at Koito, asking if he should assume that he is going to betray Tsurumi and wonders if the revelation that Koito and his father were being used by Tsurumi caused him to lose his trust in Tsurumi. Koito firmly tells Tsukishima to lower his weapon, stating that he has every intentions of watching both him and Tsurumi to the very end.

Tsukishima is surprised to hear Koito’s words as Koito declares that he shares the same feeling of saving their comrades on their way to their final destination as him. Koito says that he wishes to discern what Tsurumi’s true goal is, but that if it lacks any shred of justice that he can accept, then he will be tormented by feelings of guilt and regret, citing it as the reason why they cannot kill Tanigaki and Inkarmat. Tsukishima becomes furious, saying that it is too late for him as he has made too many sacrifices for him to turn back and that the only thing he can do is his job.

Koito then asks him if he became the man that he is now is because what he threw away was so great. As Tsukishima thinks about Egogusa, he turns to Inkarmat and asks if Igogusa is still alive. Inkarmat begins to perform a divination but doubles over in pain. Osoma’s mother says that the soldiers should resolve their issue later as Inkarmat is about to give childbirth and orders them to perform various tasks to assist with the birth. As the soldiers did what they had to do and waited outside, Huci is able to successfully deliver a healthy baby girl as she begins to let out her first cries.

## Synopsis

As Vasily observes Ogata, preparing to shoot for a certain kill, he notices that his target hasn't moved a single inch since he found him. Elsewhere, as Ilya succumbs to his wounds, Asirpa's group takes a look at Kiroranke's wanted poster and Shiraishi asks Kiroranke why he he is on it.

Kiroranke reveals that when he was fifteen years old, he came into contact with a group of dissident extremists in Saint Petersburg and attempted to assassinate the Russian emperor, Alexander II, by throwing a bag filled with bombs into his carriage. However he missed as the bag hit the horse instead, but then another person grabs the bag and throws it into the carriage, thus killing the emperor in the end.

Asirpa finds another wanted poster below Kiroranke's and sees Wilk's poster, revealing that the emperor's killer was her father. Kiroranke then admits to Asirpa and Shiraishi about his and Wilk's involvement in the emperor's death. Meanwhile, Vasily continues to observes Ogata and notes that after over an hour of watching him, something was wrong and he decides to move to another spot while keeping an eye on Ogata.

Shiraishi says that Ogata is taking a while and wonders if they should help him, but Kiroranke says that Ogata told them to let him do it alone and that they should believe in Ogata's abilities. As Vasily moves closer to Ogata's position, he notices that he had erased his own footprints and finds them leading up to an Orok casket high in a tree. Vasily then realizes that what he thought was Ogata was just a scarecrow he made using a corpse and fires off several rounds into the casket. However, the scarecrow turns out to be Ogata all along as he turns around and fires off a single shot, which hits Vasily in his right cheek.

Chapter 202

## Sniper's Nightmare

**Sniper's Nightmare**, or **A Sniper's Nightmare** (狙撃手の悪夢, *Sogekisyu no Akumu*) is the 202nd chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Tsukishima spots Sugimoto running around town and Koito wonders if he has been noticed yet, unable to believe that the sniper, whom they believe to be Ogata, would have missed him. Tsukishima yells out to Shiraishi, telling him to somehow make his way over to them so that he can be treated for his injury. However Shiraishi attempts to bandage his wound, saying that he didn't need help from them in the first place.

Asirpa suggests that they should push the sled so that they can get closer to Shiraishi but Tanigaki refuses, saying that if the sniper really is Ogata, then his target is Asirpa herself. Even so, Asirpa attempts to look for a way to save Shiraishi. Shiraishi tries to get the sled dogs to come over and cover him but Enonoka and her grandfather stops them from going over to Shraishi.

Shiraishi notices a flock of crows from above and throws some of the rice that he bought to get them to provide cover so that he can make his escape. However, the food only attracts the small birds and Shiraishi groans about how cute they are. Meanwhile, in a nearby building, Vasily recognizes Shiraishi through his binoculars and decides to wait for Ogata to come out so that they can continue their battle. Tsukishima lifts his cap with his rifle only for it to be instantly shot at and Tanigaki wonders if he is just playing around with the sniper but Tsukishima says that he is just holding onto the sniper's attention so that Sugimoto can get closer to the enemy unnoticed by him.

True to Tsukishima's words, Vasily feels the presence of another person inside the building and begins to sweat, recognizing the danger of his foe. Sugimoto goes over his plan as he prepares his knife and rifle in order to take down the person whom he believes is Ogata. As Sugimoto slides opens the *shōji* door, Vasily quickly shoots at him only to find that it is a mirror reflection. When Sugimoto leaps into the room, Vasily takes out his revolver, noting that he is also prepared for a close-quarters encounter. However, Sugimoto throws his miso box at Vasily, stunning him and Sugimoto knocks Vasily's gun out of his hand, realizing that his opponent is not Ogata.

As Sugimoto attempts to stab Vasily, he manages to block it with the miso box that Sugimoto had thrown at him and flees in order to put some distance between them. Despite Vasily running away, he is suddenly grabbed by Sugimoto behind another *shōji* door and thrown to the floor. Sugimoto tries to stab Vasily once more before noticing that Vasily has a drawn picture of Ogata tucked into his coat, wondering if he had drawn it.

**Loss** (喪失, *Sōshitsu*) is the 138th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

In the woods outside of Abashiri Prison, Nagakura hides as Ienaga is apprehended by 7th Division soldiers.

Meanwhile, Kiroranke carries Asirpa off the roof of the main gate as she demands that they go and rescue her father and Sugimoto. Tanigaki volunteers to retrieve them to repay Sugimoto for saving his life in Kushiro. He tells the others to wait for them by the boat they had prepared for escape.

Ogata continues shooting Wilk and Sugimoto, but Sugimoto is protected from fatal shots by Wilk’s body lying atop him. Tanigaki starts pulling them away from the shelter of a building, but Ogata manages to shoot him in the arm. While Ogata is ejecting the spent cartridge, smoke rolls in that obscures his view and allows Tanigaki to head back to the gate with Sugimoto and Wilk.

Outside the gate, Tanigaki finds Inkarmat lying on the ground with Kiroranke’s makiri stabbed into her body. Inkarmat tells Tanigaki that when Wilk was shot, she had seen Kiroranke signaling off to the distance. Their conversation is interrupted when Tsurumi approaches them with a group of 7th Division soldiers.

By the boat, Kiroranke tells the others how Inkarmat must have been the one who betrayed them to the 7th Division, and that they must go on without her. Shiraishi notices Kiroranke’s makiri is gone and registers the full meaning of his words. Ogata rejoins the group, who are unaware that he is the one who shot Wilk and Sugimoto. He tells them that Tanigaki was caught by the 7th Division, and Wilk and Sugimoto are dead. Asirpa faints from shock.

Sometime later, at a hospital near Abashiri, Sugimoto recovers from brain surgery performed by Ienaga.

## Synopsis

Tsukishima headbutts Tanigaki and knees him in the torso before attempting to shoot him, but Tanigaki pushes Tsukishima’s arm away, causing him to miss his shot. As they struggle against each other, Tsukishima succumbs to the drug that Ienaga had injected into his neck and slumps over. Ienaga states that Tsukishima willl not be able to move for two hours and warns Tanigaki and Inkarmat to get away as far as they can.

Looking at Tanigaki’s face, Ienaga is able to read his feelings, explaining that Inkarmat will be perfect soon and tells Tanigaki not to miss this moment. As Tanigaki and Inkarmat makes their escape, Ienaga passes away. Tanigaki and Inkarmat runs into Koito, holding a gun at them but lowers it, telling them to go. Tanigaki wonders why Koito had let them go and Inkarmat says it may be due to the amount of time that she spent telling him fortunes but Tanigaki doubts it, citing his character.

Tsukishima manages to regain consciousness and shoots at the couple from the window before falling over again. Inkarmat expresses pain due to the rocking of the horse and Tanigaki apologizes for going too fast before deciding to hide out in a hut on the edge of town. As Tanigaki starts up a fire, Inkarmat notices some blood on his head and Tanigaki puts on an Ainu headband. However, Inkarmat finds some more blood coming out of Tanigaki’s leg and Tanigaki spots a trail of blood leading out of the hut.

Tanigaki looks outside and manages to spot Tsukishima shooting at him in time to avoid being shot. Tsukishima charges to the hut and ducks below Tanigaki’s shot, tackling and punching him. However, Tanigaki lifts and throws Tsukishima at a wall before picking up Tsukishima’s gun but finds that Tsukishima has disappeared. Inkarmat readies the horse and as Tanigaki and Inkarmat flees from the hut, Tsukishima shoots at Tanigaki with his revolver, hitting his shoulder.

Tanigaki and Inkarmat keeps riding on until morning and Tanigaki asks Inkarmat if she is alright and that Tsukishima will be cautious about getting close to them now that he has Tsukishima’s rifle. He states that they should be able to lose Tsukishima in the mountains, saying that he is more at home in the mountains than he is. Inkarmat suddenly lets out a gasp and reveals that her water has broken, so they decide to leave their horse behind in order to fool Tsukishima. As Tanigaki carries Inkarmat, he tries to keep her optimistic and that everything will work out just fine. Tanigaki manages to find an Ainu kotan and enters a hut to greet Huci, saying that he is back.
