**Catastrophe**, or **Great Emergency**  (大非常, *Dai hijō*) is the 79th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Tsukishima and Edogai attempts to make their escape by hiding into the Yubari coal mine. However, they are being shot at by Sugimoto and Shiraishi who had managed to find another mine cart to pursue them. Meanwhile, Ogata is some distance behind them in another mine cart, waiting for the two other parties to take each other out.

Inside the mine, Sugimoto and Tsukishima continues to exchange gunfire, with Edogai throwing stones at them. One of the stones hit a prop which falls and causes Sugimoto and Shiraishi's cart to flip and get even closer to Tsukishima and Edogai. As Sugimoto and Shiraishi attempts to board the other cart, Tsukishima tries to hit them with the butt of his rifle but activates a switch that causes both carts to head down different tracks. Ogata shoots at the switch so that the tracks would lead him down the path to where Edogai is.

Edogai warns Tsukishima that Ogata is chasing after them and Tsukishima tells him to keep his head down. Just then, several miners yells at them to stop since they had just lit some dynamites that are about to explode. Tsukishima and Edogai are unable to hear this but Ogata catches the warning and stops his cart with his rifle just in time to avoid the blast. The two are relieved that Ogata is no longer behind them, and as Ogata pushes his cart, he smells something in the air. A couple miners nearby shouts that there is a gas outburst and that they should flee immediately. One of the dynamites blows up and with the gas in the air, creates an even more powerful explosion that causes all parties to fall over. They are then caught in a windblast and one of the miners warn that there might be another explosion coming.

Outside, the people of Yubari as well as Asirpa and Kiroranke are observing the aftermaths of the mine explosion. In the mine, Tsukishima is looking for Edogai, and is able to find him stuck under a pile of logs and rocks. As Tsukishima attempts to rescue Edogai, he tells him to run away and that it is too late for him as his legs had been crushed by the rocks and that he should give the skins to Tsurumi. He gives Tsukishima one final message to tell to Tsurumi as he takes the bag.

Elsewhere, Sugimoto is able to retain his consciousness and tries to carry Shiraishi out from the mines. In order to stop the spread of fire, the Yubari coal miners makes haste to close up all the entrances regardless of whether there is any survivors or not. Sugimoto carrying Shiraishi, Tsukishima with the bag of skins, and Ogata are still in the mines attempting to make their escape before it gets closed off.

**Tokushirou's Number One**, or **Tokushiro's Dearest** (篤四郎さんの一番, *Tokushirō-san no Ichiban*) is the 256th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Usami is stunned by Ogata’s shot and stumbles down the stairs as Ogata begins to reload his rifle. Upon looking at the stairs, Ogata sees that Usami is missing but notices a trail of blood leading down as he wipes own blood off of his mouth. Usami heads down the stairs as he mutters that it is not the time to be worrying about Ogata and that he must tell Tsurumi something.

Outside of the brewery, as the firefighters try to control the fire, Ueji knocks one of them out and pulls at the hose, causing the firefighters to become irritated at him. Ueji takes a ladder and props it up against one of the chimney in order to climb it while the firefighters grows more annoyed at his behaviour. Usami exits the brewery and spots a horse-drawn carriage nearby.

Sugimoto knocks Ostrog out of the window of the brewery, catching Ogata’s attention and allowing him to spot Usami fleeing on one of the horses. Ogata makes a small hole in the window to prop his rifle and exclaims that if Usami is really so concerned about being seen as a cheap piece, then he would have to see what kind of face Tsurumi would make at his funeral. Usami is able to escape Ogata’s sight by heading behind a building but Ogata makes a calculated shot using two windows in order to hit Usami in his chest.

Usami falls off his horse and is about to hit the ground when Tsurumi catches him in his arms. Ogata thanks Usami as his death has completed him as a sniper and takes his bandage off, revealing that he has both of his eyes. However, his right eye pops out, revealing that it is a prosthetic and Ogata manages to catches it before it falls down. With the last of his strength, Usami attempts to hand the skin copy that he took from Kadokura along with information about Kadokura to Tsurumi as Tsurumi states that he did well.

Usami reaches out to Tsurumi’s face and Tsurumi sucks on Usami’s pinky finger before biting it off. Tsurumi notes that by consuming his finger, he and Usami can be together and that Usami shall live on inside of him as his number one friend. With a smile, Usami exclaims that he is so happy that he might just ejaculate before dying. Tsurumi takes Usami’s body in his arms and looks upon Usami’s corpse with a shadow over his face. Atop the chimney, Ueji proclaims to the whole town to direct their attention towards him.

## Synopsis

Anehata continues to show his passion for wild animals by jumping on a deer and professing his love to it but was knocked off. Despite this rejection, he yearns to bond with a fox, a fish, and a hen, all of whom runs away from him as he tells himself not to give up. Meanwhile, at a certain pond, the Ainu men and Tanigaki stares at Ogata who had fired off a gunshot to grab their attention. Ogata asks Tanigaki why he is here and if First Lieutenant Tsurumi had ordered him to come after him. Tanigaki then tells him that he had cut his ties with the 7th Division and that all he is doing is returning a favour by bringing Asirpa back to Huci. Ogata decides to mock Tanigaki and tells him to beg to him for his life as the Ainu men demanded he throw his weapon down while Tanigaki pleads him not to kill them. They are suddenly stopped by the village elder who tells them to bring Tanigaki back to the village.

Elsewhere, a couple of children runs towards Sugimoto, Asirpa, and the Ainu man, Kirawus saying that Tanigaki had been captured. In the kotan, Tanigaki had been tied up as the whole village argues whether or not they should kill him or turn him into the police. They then decide to punish Tanigaki the Ainu way by cutting off his nose, ears, and the tendons in his feet. Sugimoto attempted to stand between them to stop them, but a big burly Ainu man hits him and tells him to get out of his way. After being hit a few more times, Sugimoto retaliates by delivering a swift blow to his jaw, knocking him out, stunning the whole crowd as Ogata just claps.

Sugimoto tells the Ainu people that the one they are looking for is Shiton Anehata who has a tattoo on his upper body. He removes a button on Tanigaki's shirt and grabs his chest hair, scolding Tanigaki and proclaiming that they will capture the true culprit. Kirawus then tells him that they have three days in order to find the real culprit and that Tanigaki will be kept in a bear cage, promising that he will hold off the villagers from exacting punishment on him. Within his cage, Tanigaki tells Sugimoto of his conversation with Anehata about brown bears. Sugimoto is alarmed that Anehata will attempt to make love to a brown bear and that his tattoo will be devoured as well. Hearing this, Sugimoto and Asirpa makes it their goal to find Anehata before he runs into a brown bear and makes love to it.

As Gansoku walks away, the other soldiers meet up with Sugimoto while Tsukishima silently stares at the larger man's back.

The next day, the Russian bartender says that the Japanese team has gotten popular and tells them to throw their next match.

That night, the Japanese soldiers enter the stenka once more where they find their opponent is not only the tattooed convict, but the man that they had saw talking with Sugimoto the prior night. After cursing out Sugimoto, they then pondered on whether they should throw the match or not but Sugimoto says that he has a brilliant plan in mind.

Meanwhile, in the village tavern, Cikapasi, Enonoka, and Ryu are tailing the chatty Russian who had hidden and is guarding Enonoka's dog.

## Synopsis

With Asirpa back in their group, Sugimoto's Group heads across the national border back to Toyohara and decides to stop by a Karafuto Ainu village to rest. They are given some "grandma's chewed dango" to eat and they surprisingly find it delicious to eat. When Tanigaki suggests that they should have some miso to go with it, Sugimoto bemoans that he lost his miso box as Asirpa pretends not to know anything about Sugimoto's lost miso box.

With Sugimoto and Shiraishi drunk over the food, Koito asks Tsukishima what the Russian word "barchonok" means and the latter says it is basically calling someone a "pampered brat". Tsukishima asks Koito where he had heard the word, but Koito remains silent with a very upset look on his face.

Sugimoto's Group decides to stop by Shizuka in order to do some shopping, unaware that someone is watching them from afar with a binocular. As Sugimoto's Group prepares to set off, Asirpa notices that Sugimoto is nowhere to be seen, not knowing that he went to purchase some more miso for her. Shiraishi goes to look for Sugimoto but is suddenly shot in the leg, alarming the whole group. Tanigaki tries to usher everyone back into the store, but the sniper prevents them from heading inside.

Sugimoto's Group hides from the sniper behind their dog sleds and Koito uses his hand mirror to momentarily touch up his face before raising it only for it to be instantly shattered by the sniper. Tsukishima notes that the sniper is shooting from quite a distance away and that there is only person who can shoot from a far range: Hyakunosuke Ogata. Meanwhile, in a building not too far from Sugimoto's Group, Vasily reloads his rifle to shoot again. As Koito laments their situation and asks Tsukishima what they can do, Sugimoto rushes out, screaming that he will split the sniper's head and shove his miso in there.

Chapter 3

## Trap

* Color
* Volume

**Trap** (罠, *Wana*) is the 3rd chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Sugimoto and Asirpa walk in the forest while preparing traps, with Asirpa explaining how Ainu snares work. The two are planning to capture squirrels to feed themselves and sell their fur. After preparing enough traps, Sugimoto and Asirpa talk about the possible places where the Abashiri Convicts might be. Sugimoto suggests that they must be still in Hokkaido. He says that they wouldn't hide in small villages, as outsiders are easily spotted, so they likely went to big cities like Sapporo, Hakodate, Asahikawa, or Otaru, the closest town to them.

In Otaru, Sugimoto goes to a public bathhouse. He asks a regular there if he has seen anyone with strange tattoos attend the bathhouse lately, but the man denies it. When Sugimoto comes out from the water, the man, clearly surprised, asks him if he is a soldier. As the man observes Sugimoto's body, which is covered in numerous deep scars, he thanks him for his service, saying that it's thanks to men like Sugimoto Japan managed to get Southern Karafuto back, and now Otaru will prosper. Sugimoto tartly remarks that it's only the merchants who are getting rich. However, he thinks that he will get rich, too, no matter what it takes.

On another street of Otaru, Asirpa interrogates prostitutes, inquiring if they've had customers with strange tattoos. Before the women could answer her, a large man, who appears to be the owner of the brothel, grabs Asirpa by her collar and lifts her up. He demands to know why "some Ainu brat" is playing around their "soba restaurant". Upon examining Asirpa's face, the man concludes she must be around 12-13 years old since she doesn't have her Ainu mouth tattoo that young girls receive when they come of age. He threatens to sell Asirpa to a brothel, saying he'd better hurry and do that now since nobody wants a girl with a mouth tattoo. Asirpa takes her *menokomakiri* and his her attacker with its pommel in the eye, which makes the man release her from his grip. Before the brothel owner could do anything, he is tapped on the back by Sugimoto, who asks him to look closely at his thumb. Sugimoto then hits the man with thumb in the throat, making him choke. Sugimoto puts the man in a chokehold while Asirpa shows him the drawing with the tattoo design. The man reveals that someone came before asking the same thing. Sugimoto grins and says that someone had the same idea as them.

Sugimoto and Asirpa continue to ask around town until they decide to call it a day. Upon returning to the woods, they get followed by a strange man who plans to kill them. When the man passes by the makeshift bridge, he gets into one of Asirpa's traps. As the man tries to free himself, Sugimoto and Asirpa notice the tattoos on his shoulders and back and realize that he is one of the tattooed convicts.

## Synopsis

At a Russian clinic, the doctor and his nurse treats Ogata's wounds as Sugimoto's Group waits outside for news about Ogata's conditions. The doctor approaches them, saying that he did all he could to save Ogata's life but his health is deteriorating and that Ogata will die soon. Upon seeing Asirpa looking forlorn, Sugimoto decides to head into the clinic to ask the doctor if there is any way that Ogata can be saved. As he enters the room, Sugimoto finds Ogata gone, with the doctor lying on the ground bleeding and the windows open.

Sugimoto runs outside, screaming that Ogata has escaped and orders everyone to look for Ogata while telling Asirpa to stay by his side. Koito heads into the clinic to check on the doctor only to find Ogata hiding behind the door, holding the nurse hostage. To Koito's surprise, Ogata barks in Russian at the doctor to knock Koito down or else he will stab the nurse. The doctor hits Koito in the head, stunning him and Ogata steps on Koito's hand, taking his gun and points it at Koito, calling him a pampered little rich boy. As Koito glares menacingly at Ogata, he begins to think back to when he was in his youth.

In Kagoshima, a 14 years old Koito is showing off his De Dion-Bouton in the yard of a school, much to the children's fascination and the teacher's annoyance, before heading off into the roads. Koito accidentally runs into a man that was heading around a corner and helps him back up, asking if he is alright. The man shows interest in Koito's vehicle and he reveals that his father had gotten it from an acquaintance in France and says that his father will not scold him when the man shows concerns about him driving around.

The man then asks for directions to Saigo Takamori's grave and Koito offers to take him there on his De Dion-Bouton. At the graveyard, the man thanks Koito for taking him there and gives him some Tsukisappu Anpan. Koito does not know what Tsukisappu is and the man tells him that it is the name of the area where the anpan were made before asking what delicious foods are there in Kagoshima. Koito is initially unsure of it before saying Sakurajima daikon.

Koito breaks off the anpan and places it on a grave and he reveals that it belongs to his older brother. He described him as having pale skin like their mother and so he would make fun of him, calling him "Sakurajima daikon". Despite this, his older brother never got angry even once and that he was a really kind older brother. He begins to lament that he should have been the one to die and the man, revealed to be Tokushirou Tsurumi prods him into telling him about his brother's death.

Chapter 313

## Last Stop

**Last Stop** (終着, *Shūchaku*) is the 313th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Sugimoto delivers a blow to Tsurumi with a katana, cutting the strap on his headplate and slashing his chest. The string that held the quiver on Tsurumi's chest tears and the land deed is falling down, along with the bones of Fina and Olga that Tsurumi held in his coat. Asirpa hurries to get the quiver but Tsurumi manages to catch it. He then watches as the bones that belonged to his wife and daughter fall down the train tracks and get crushed by the wheels, mixed with the golden dust. Unmasked, Tsurumi watches it solemnly.

Asirpa cuts the quiver string to retrieve it from Tsurumi but suddenly slides down the train. Sugimoto rushes to her aid but Tsurumi stops him and takes away the katana. Tsurumi pins Sugimoto to the ground and stabs him in the chest with the sword, piercing him through while Asirpa screams. Tsurumi looks Asirpa in the eyes and tells her that everyone that she loves will be killed by golden *kamuy*. As the brain fluid starts leaking from his head, Tsurumi calls Asirpa by her father's name and tells her that everything is Wilk's fault. Sugimoto grabs Asirpa by her arm and throws her out of the harm's way. Asirpa reaches out to him and Sugimoto smiles at her, telling her that he is immortal. Asirpa is caught by Tanigaki and Shiraishi who have caught up with the train.

The train runs into the station with Tsurumi and Sugimoto still fighting. Sugimoto manages to shoot Tsurumi one last time with his own gun and the two fall into the water with the train. Tanigaki, Asirpa, and Shiraishi arrive at the place of the crash.

## Character Appearances

* Tokushirou Tsurumi
* Saichi Sugimoto
* Asirpa
* Yoshitake Shiraishi
* Genjirou Tanigaki
* Wilk *(Mentioned)*

## Trivia

* The text on the first page says *"The mask of rebellion which has fallen away. His face, revealed."* is likely a reference to the Persona video games, specifically Persona 5. "Mask of Rebellion" is what the mask the main character wears is called; the word mask (仮面) has a furigana ペルソナ that is read as "persona".
* The scene of Tsurumi clattering his teeth is a callback to the scene between Tsurumi and Sugimoto in Chapter 16, where Tsurumi threatens Sugimoto.

* The ending tagline "He lived alongside tomorrow. He lived for the future." is a reference to Asirpa, as her name can mean both "tomorrow" and "future".
Emma

> *"Awww, you wyvern slimes are so CUTE!!"*
>
>

Emma lives on the ranch. She is a normal, powerless human, and she came to the Far, Far Range to explore. She thinks every slime is cute.

## Appearance

She is a human with light brown skin, and wears a red hoodie with the hood down. She spikey-ish orange hair, and wears earrings that are basically dangling strange diamonds. She wears black pants, and has spike bracelets. She has a black vacpack.

## Personality

She is a cheerful person, and is very friendly and forgiving. She thinks basically every slime is adorable, and treats everyone as her friend. She also loves food, but somehow stays skinny. It's probably because of her hyperactivity, how she is always running around doing whatever she gets into her mind to do.

## Backstory

She grew up in a kind family, and always loved exploring. Eventually she decided to go to the Far, Far Range to explore even more. (~~Yep, she had a pretty normal life. Sorry for no interesting backstory, I wanted a normal human character to play.)~~ ACTUALLY, her backstory is pretty edgy.

Her family didn't have enough money to send both her and her boyfriend (well, fiancé really....) to the Far, Far Range, so they sent her, planning to have her make enough money to bring him over later.

Aaaaand then her family (except her sister, who had been so insane that she didn't even know what was going on for years before now) all died. And her fiancé.

I didn't think of much more detail, but i will put it on her Arkios page when I make it.

## Relations

Primordia: FRIEND!

Psycho: BEST FRIEND! HE IS MY PROTECTER! (Psycho: ***YEP!***)

Sirmanse: ~~She's a jerk~~

The Nicheling Family: FRIENDS!

Squidy: Ummmmmm... What is he, anyway?

Umbria: Why does he like Sirmanse... he always pets her ears... Does he have a... WHAT THE \*BEEP\*!

## Abilities

### Vacpack

She can use a vacpack. That's about all, as she is a normal human.

## Trivia

* Don't kill her. She's really nice, and Psycho would be very sad. She won't kill you unless you try to kill her, and she probably won't even then.
* She is PrimordiaThePrimordial's second roleplay character.

Cikapasi comes upon a giant spinning top and is amazed by it, asking if he can try it since he is small and it would be easier than dancing. Meanwhile, Tanigaki continues to make mistakes in the Girls Group dance routine and gets yelled at by Fumie. Later, Tanigaki is being consoled by the girls and is cheered up by Beniko who tells him that this performance will be her last and that she enjoyed being with him, hoping to make their performance a success.

From a distance, Koito struggles for a breath of air and Tsukishima is able to hear him as Asirpa tells him that Koito was pulled into the wine pool. Tsukishima decides to take Asirpa with him as his top priority but changes his mind, returning to stomp Boutarou in the face and shooting him in his side. At a disadvantage, Boutarou lets go of Koito and swims away as Tsukishima and Koito stands up in the pool.

Koito asks about Asirpa and becomes upset that Tsukishima had chosen to save him instead of securing Asirpa, leading Tsukishima to become apologetic. However, Nikaidou is able to find Asirpa and swiftly counters her knife attack with a chopstick launch before bringing her out to Tsurumi. Tsurumi congratulates Nikaidou but Nikaidou only gets angry that Tsurumi had lied to him about Sugimoto being dead.

Tsukishima and Koito joins the rest of the 7th Division and Tsukishima begins to explain what happened before being cut off by Koito. He realizes too late what he had done and Tsukishima glares at him as Tsurumi thanks him for the clarification and reveals that they have no further need for anymore tattooed skins and orders his men to withdraw while guarding Asirpa at all cost. Boutarou emerges from the brewery, saying that he has to get Asirpa back but is immediately confronted by a furious Sugimoto who charges at him to give Asirpa back to him.

Elsewhere, Hijikata’s Group notes that Sugimoto’s Group and Kadokura hasn’t showed up at all while Kadokura lays within the brewery, lamenting that he will not be able to serve Hijikata to the end. As Kirawus screams for Kadokura, the brewery begins to collapse and one of the chimneys falls onto the building, destroying it. Kadokura falls onto a flight of stairs and gets caught on one of the railings, which gently lays him down on a futon and covers him with a blanket as he comments that the Sapporo beer tasted good and asks for another drink.

## Synopsis

On the run from the 7th Division, Sugimoto and Asirpa makes their way through a boathouse as Sugimoto asks Asirpa if she has a place in mind that they can run to, with the young girl confirming it. Meanwhile, as Tsurumi tells his men to search for Sugimoto and Asirpa, Tanigaki wonders what the two of them are thinking, since Tsurumi knows where Asirpa’s village is and so Asirpa won’t be able to return to her home. Elsewhere, as Sugimoto and Asirpa maneuvre through another building with haystacks inside, they are found by Usami who shoots at Sugimoto. However, Sugimoto is able to push the rifle aside before Usami elbows him in the face.

Sugimoto recovers quickly enough to grab Usami and throws him to the ground, stomping him. Usami stops Sugimoto’s attack as he draws his knife but is stopped by Aisrpa who knocks a couple of haystack rolls onto him. Another soldier finds them but Sugimoto throws a haystack roll at him, knocking him away, allowing Sugimoto and Asirpa to get away. Tsukishima tells them to stop, holding them at gunpoint as he tells Sugimoto that he cannot escape. Despite this, Sugimoto continues to run, causing Tsukishima to fire and hit him. Asirpa stares in horror as Sugimoto is pelted with bullets from the 7th Division and tries to help him, causing Tsukishima to tell the others not to hurt her.

Koito approaches Asirpa, telling her not to move and that she should’ve known what would’ve happened if they tried to run. Tsukishima warns Koito to get away from them but before Koito could react, Sugimoto stabs him in the chest with a knife as he lets out a scream that he is Sugimoto the Immortal. He manages to knock away a soldier’s rifle before he could fire and detaches the knife on the rifle, thrusting it into the owner’s face. Koito attempts to shoot him again but Sugimoto violently knocks him away before running away with Asirpa.

Tsukishima hurries over to Koito to inspect his wounds as Kikuta orders Tsukishima to chase after Sugimoto and Asirpa. Tsukishima ignores Kikuta’s orders and tells Koito not to take the knife out as he reaches for it. Koito tells Tsukishima to keep going and that he will be fine, but Tsukishima laments that Koito did not listen to his warning not to get emotional and rush forward even though he listened to his warning the prior day. Tsurumi walks past them, giving a quick glance towards them before continuing onwards as Tsukishima glares back in silent rage. Elsewhere, Asirpa pulls Sugimoto along, saying that he can do it and that they only have a little farther left to go.

Sugimoto and Toni knock out the two guards before they can react. Ushiyama and Kiroranke run over to carry off their unconscious bodies and allow Sugimoto’s group to move ahead.

Sugimoto makes a number of risky proposals for Kadokura that get shot down one by one. Hijikata interjects saying he wants to avoid Kadokura blowing his cover. Shiraishi then proposes they break into the prison house from the skylights, since they are the only windows there that aren’t barred.

Back in the present, Asirpa launches an arrow with a rope over one of the wings of the prison house, and they climb to the roof. Shiraishi saws the window frame and they use the rope to descend to the floor. In the meantime, Kadokura drops his teacup and cuts his finger to distract the other guards. Shiraishi unlocks Nopperabou’s cell and they all slip in.

Around this time, Kiroranke and Ushiyama notice that Hijikata has gone missing.

Back at the cells, Asirpa tries talking to the prisoner. Shiraishi hands Sugimoto a lit match, and the light makes the prisoner start screaming. Asirpa realizes this man is not her father. At the commotion, Kadokura fires his rifle and alerts the other guards they have intruders.

However, he had heard that in Hokkaido, Japan, there are groups with cultures that are very similar to the Karafuto Ainu and expresses his dream of creating a far eastern federation that would include both Karafuto and Hokkaido.

Meanwhile, Rear Admiral Koito prepares to engage Kadokura's Group once more with his ship's cannons. They barely miss hitting Kadokura's Group and Kadokura's Group begins to panic as they realize that the Japanese Imperial Navy is ready to retaliate against them.

In an unknown area, Ogata wonders if Hijikata's Group will make it through the siege before pondering on the land deed, suspecting Asirpa of holding onto it. Ogata muses on whether it would expose his position if he were to make a single shot in the midst of the noise and confusion but notes that Vasily would be able to find him easily. Kadokura's Group receives damage from the ship's cannon fires and Kirawus tries to get Mansur to help him strike back at the navy ship.

**Forgiveness** (許し, *Yurushi*) is the 299th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

The 7th Division checks each building within Fort Goryokaku for signs of Asirpa and the land deed, meanwhile a soldier reports to Tsukishima that Hijikata's Group has fled from the north entrance. As they ride away from the fort, Hijikata asks Ushiyama if he has seen Kantarou, which the latter denies. Ushiyama says that Kantarou knew about Shiraishi's signal, and wonders if something had happened to him since he hasn't shown up yet.

Elsewhere, Nagakura wonders if Hijikata was able to get away from the fort, unaware that a 7th Division soldier is aiming his rifle at him. However, Kantarou hits him the head with the butt of his rifle and Nagakura goes to check up on Kantarou as he is nervous about wounding the soldier. At the north entrance bridge, Tanigaki saves Asirpa from falling into the moat and Sugimoto asks him why he is at the fort, but Tanigaki says that it does not matter and that they must get moving.

Several minutes before Tanigaki arrived at Fort Goryokaku, he and Inkarmat hears news about the Japanese and the Russian fighting at the fort when they see Nagakura riding through town on his horse. Tanigaki asks Nagakura if Sugimoto's Group are also at Fort Goryokaku, but Nagakura warns him to stay away from the place. Tanigaki thinks back on how he was saved by Huci, and knowing what is on Tanigaki's mind, Inkarmat tells him to go and fulfill his duty and settle things with his past as she will be waiting for him. Tanigaki apologizes to Inkarmat, saying that he will come back no matter what, before leaping onto his horse.

As Tanigaki takes Asirpa away from the fort, Asirpa calls out for Sofia, left behind with Tsurumi. As Sofia lays wounded on the ground, she takes out the picture of herself, Wilk, and Kiroranke and expresses regrets about approaching Hasegawa's studio before apologizing to Tsurumi. Tsurumi leans down, saying that she must have been suffering this whole time and that he forgives her, placing the photo that he took on Sofia's chest. He then stands back up and fires several rounds into Sofia's body, saying that she is the only one that he has forgiven.

Asirpa hears the gunshots and begins to wail in grief as Tsukishima picks up Tsurumi who lets out a maniacal roar. As Sugimoto's Group leaves the fort, Ogata spies on them from a distance, musing that he knew that they would escape from either the north or east exit. Noting that Vasily could be nearby and waiting for him to make his move, Ogata wonders, with his one shot, what exactly he should shoot.
