## Synopsis

Some time before carrying out their plan to infiltrate Abashiri Prison, Sugimoto's group and Hijikata's group gathers at a kotan on the outskirts of Abashiri where Huci's 13th sister lives. Asirpa and her grand-aunt prepares some salmon for them all to eat while they perform the citatap with Hijikata playing along with Cikapasi and Ogata finally listening to Asirpa's instructions. Once the salmon citatap had been finished, everyone eats and enjoys the food together.

Ushiyama notices Inkarmat next to him and asks if she has anyone special in her life, which Cikapasi overhears. He grabs Tanigaki's bowl and hands it over to Inkarmat, asking if the three of them can become a real family. Asirpa states that if an Ainu man eats half of the rice and the woman the other half, it confirms their marriage. However, Tanigaki takes his bowl back and heads outside with Inkarmat following him.

Tanigaki questions her about her belief that Wilk may still be alive to which she admits it and how dear she holds her relationship with Wilk, basing it upon their fate. However she says that Tanigaki helped showed her that fate can be changed and that she wants to let go of her past to be with Tanigaki. He replies to her confession that he will answer it after fulfilling his duty to bring Asirpa home to her family.

In the present time, Kadokura reveals some information about Abashiri Prison to Sugimoto and Kiroranke and that his father had served a shogunate who had fought alongside Hijikata, hence the head jailer's connection with the former Shinsengumi vice captain. Kadokura says that Noppera-Bou is moved to a different confinement cell every day but he is able to predict where Noppera-Bou will end up on the night of the new moon that will happen next week.

Asirpa then reveals that she has some of Sugimoto's miso since she had been holding them for Sugimoto all along.

Asirpa's Group eats the whale soup together and Asirpa notes that they have ran out of Sugimoto's miso. When Shiraishi suggests that they buy some more when they return to Japan, Asirpa refuses, saying that she doesn't want any miso that doesn't belong to Sugimoto. Just then, Ogata begins to say "hinna", which surprises Asirpa, asking him to repeat it while looking back at Shiraishi and Kiroranke in amazement.

Shiraishi turns to Kiroranke and asks him how long they will be staying in Akou, and Kiroranke says that it will be a while longer. Shiraishi thinks Kiroranke isn't going to have a simple chat with Sofia and Asirpa asks Kiroranke to tell her more about Sofia. Kiroranke begins to explain the history of Akou Prison in Karafuto and says that though Sofia was born to a noble family, she was refined, courageous, and very beautiful to the point that both he and Wilk admired her. When hearing that her father had looked up to such a woman, Asirpa says that she would like to meet Sofia.

In Akou Prison, Sofia is speaking to a young woman named Svetlana, telling her that since she is young, she should hurry up and get married so that she can leave the prison. Just as Svetlana asks Sofia just what kind of place Saint Petersburg is, a letter arrives for Sofia which she opens and holds above a lit candlelight. The flame reveals a hidden message from Kiroranke and Sofia expresses excitement about seeing him again.

Kiroranke says that if they were to break Sofia out from prison, the guards would come after her so he comes up with a plan to break out all 250 prisoners in Akou Prison so that the guards won't be able to focus on Sofia. When Shiraishi asks how he plans to do it, Kiroranke says that he will blow up multiple different points along the outer walls simultaneously. Shiraishi once again asks how he is going to get his hands on that many explosives and Kiroranke points to a lighthouse, saying that explosives have been supplied to the lighthouse in the occasion that Japan were to invade again. Kiroranke says that all they have to do now is to wait until the explosives have arrived, then all of the conditions for their prison break will have been met.

As Asirpa notices another person nearby, Koito asks her to stay by his side but Asirpa and Sugimoto runs off to find the person that Asirpa saw earlier, with the latter dropping an unconscious Ogata.

As they get closer, they hear some aggressive sounds and Sugimoto wonders if there is a fight going on. They peer around the ice to find Gansoku, who easily defeats the two Akou prisoners assaulting him. Gansoku follows them back to the rest of the group where he helps carry Tsukishima and Sugimoto asks Asirpa if they should look for Sofia after bring the injured to Akou.

Meanwhile, Enonoka tells Cikapasi about a *meko oyasi*, a monster cat that had shown up near the village. Tsukishima was able to discern Enonoka's description of the monster cat to be a lynx and Koito thinks they may be talking about Hyakunosuke Ogata.

Sugimoto is curious about the connection, to which Tsukishima explains that wildcat is a slang word for "geisha", saying that it is a stupid joke passed around in their division. Koito says that there are plenty of people who hates Ogata, including him as well, and goes on to say that "wildcat" can be used to describe fraud or deceiving people, and that Ogata perfectly fits the term. Cikapasi and Enonoka talks more about the *meko oyasi* as Koito tells Sugimoto a lesson to shoot a thieving cat if one were to be found.

Elsewhere, Asirpa's group finds a paw print left behind by a lynx, and Asirpa wonders if it is a *meko oyasi*, saying that her father had told her about them. Kiroranke reminisce that he and Wilk had once hunted a lynx before for money and that its meat had tasted awful. When Asirpa expresses excitement about hearing about her father, Kiroranke offers to tell her more, saying that there is another person who knew Wilk in the past and asks if she wants to meet them. Kiroranke tells Asirpa that the person is being held in Akou Prison in Alexandrovsksakhalinsky.

In Alexandrovsksakhalinsky, a prison guard is lashing a baton at a person's back, causing the person to scream in pain before getting up, asking if he is finished already.

## Synopsis

As Sugimoto prepares to fight Nikaidou, he is ambushed by Koito who lunges at him with his saber from behind him. However Koito misses and breaks open a beer barrel, causing the beer to come splashing out onto him. Nikaidou attempts to shoot Sugimoto but Asirpa stands in front of Sugimoto, leading Tsukishima to restrain Nikaidou so as not to hit her. Koito attempts to cut down Sugimoto again but is easily countered while Tsukishima drags an enraged Nikaidou away.

From atop the beer barrels, Kikuta aims his revolver at Sugimoto, however Ushiyama pushes the barrels, causing Kikuta to lose his footing. Ushiyama’s strength also causes the beer barrels to break and sweeps up Sugimoto and the 7th Division into a deluge of alcohol. As a result of consuming a large amount of alcohol at once, Sugimoto and the soldiers becomes extremely drunk as they sloppily attempt to fight each other before quickly collapsing.

Asirpa looks for Sugimoto but she is captured by Kikuta who brings her out of the brewery. She takes out one of her arrows and sticks it up Kikuta’s nose, demanding that he put her down and warns him that the arrow is poisoned. Ogata watches the exchange between Asirpa and Kikuta as the latter attempts to reason with Asirpa by revealing that he was part of the party that recovered the murdered Ainu bodies and their belongings. Meanwhile, Usami spots Asirpa with Kikuta and Ogata takes notice of Usami on the ground as well.

Kikuta tries to convince Asirpa to meet with Tsurumi, saying that she will learn more about her father, believing that her father’s fate is more important to Asirpa than the Ainu gold. Upon seeing the look on Asirpa’s face, Ogata wonders if Asirpa will meet with Tsurumi before feeling the presence of his dead brother nearby, causing him to jump back in surprise.

## Synopsis

Hijikata pursues several members of the 7th Division, shooting them all off of their horses, however one manages to recover and fires back at him. Hijikata pulls up one of their bags to block the shot but upon seeing barley coming out of the bag, realizes that the soldiers were decoy before continuing his assault on them. Sugimoto jumps onto the steam pumper and attempts to hit Kikuta with his rifle, but misses before knocking Kikuta's gun out of his hand. Tsurumi acknowledges Sugimoto's presence on the steam pumper and shoots at him but only hits the pumper, causing Kikuta to exclaim that it is dangerous to do so.

In the beer car, Shiraishi wonders why Boutarou had saved his life, saying that it wasn't like him at all. Boutarou admits that he messed up and tells Shiraishi that since he saved him, he should not forget who he is and to tell his children about him. He hands Shiraishi the tattooed skins, saying that he has to make something of himself and not to end his life as nothing more than the "Escape King". Shiraishi takes Boutarou's words to heart before Boutarou grabs his collar to whisper something into Shiraishi's ear.

Shiraishi is shocked to hear that Boutarou had found out where the Ainu gold had been gathered up but Boutarou has already passed away. Taking control of the beer car, Shiraishi declares that he will not forget Boutarou, unaware that he has already forgotten his real name. Sugimoto and Kikuta fights onboard the steam pumper with Sugimoto on top, demanding that they hand Asirpa back and that he will send them all to hell. Kikuta responds that the denizens of hell will be rolling out the red carpet for him and Sugimoto becomes confused, recognizing his foe as "Mister Kikuta". Kikuta becomes confused as well before realizing that Sugimoto the Immortal was the "vagrant boy".

The bear runs off and Koito approaches the animal that fell from it, thinking it is harmless. However the animal, which turns out to be a wolverine, attacks him, biting his shoulder.

Cikapasi protects the girl, and the two children are entrusted to Tanigaki while Sugimoto and Tsukishima try to deal with the wolverine. As the wolverine chases after them, the Karafuto Ainu girl’s grandfather appears on his dogsled. They all climb aboard to escape, and the wolverine stops going after them. However, the sled is nonetheless slow because of the additional weight, which Koito attributes to Tanigaki in particular. Sugimoto throws him off the sled.

They arrive at the Ainu village and take shelter at the Ainu girl and her grandfather’s winter house, where Koito starts getting his wounds treated. The girl gives her name as Enonoka, meaning lingonberry. Sugimoto hands Enonoka a picture of Asirpa, and she identifies her as the Hokkaido Ainu girl she met. Enonoka confirms that there were three men accompanying Asirpa, and identifies Kiroranke as one of them from a picture provided by Tanigaki. Enonoka reports that Kiroranke said his group was heading further north. She says that Asirpa seemed very sad, but upon eating some lingonberry offered to her, she cheered up slightly and said, “hinna”.

## Synopsis

At night, Sugimoto's group along with Asirpa's cousin heads out in order to keep a watch for the bandits that will attack soon. Ogata says that there is no point in getting ambushed and Sugimoto agrees, saying that they should just find out where they sleep, and suggests that they should attack the bandits in the middle of the day. Asirpa's cousin reveals that there is an inn and hot spring nearby that could give them some information about the bandits. Meanwhile, Asirpa is alerted to some clicking sounds in the forest.

Elswehere, Tanigaki, Inkarmat, and Cikapasi are surveying a fumarole as Tanigaki mispronounces an Ainu word with CIkapasi constantly correcting him. In the inn, Sugimoto is receiving a massage from an anma who comments that he's never felt a body like Sugimoto's. He commends Sugimoto on being able to survive with wounds like his but Sugimoto says that it would take a much bigger wound for his soul to leave his body. Asirpa says that the reason why Sugimoto has not died yet is because he has a duty left in this world to fulfill.

Once he had finished his massage, Sugimoto and the other males of his group decides to take a dip in the hot spring. Sugimoto reveals that the anma had told him that there used to be many hot spring inns back in the day, but were abandoned due to the inns losing guests from when the mines closed. Shiraishi comments that it sounds like a perfect spot for a bandit hideout and that they should search for the bandits once day breaks. However, Kiroranke says that the full moon is only a couple days away and that they should take this opportunity to relax and regain their energy.

As the anma prepares to leave, Asirpa asks if he will be okay despite him being blind. He assures her that he will be fine then proceeds to warn her about the sound of geta, which are made by the blind bandits. The anma says that the assumption that the sound is made by geta is wrong and that it was produced by the clicking of a tongue to create echolocation. Asirpa what it sounds like and the anma begins to click his tongue, drawing the bandits into the inn.

## Synopsis

On the walls of Abashiri Prison, Kadokura questions the other guards about the Ainu camp that has formed just outside the perimeters of the prison. He tells the guards to go and warn the Ainu about their actions but the guards doesn't think it's important since they'll just leave once fishing season is over.

Sometime earlier, Sugimoto's group and Hijikata's group work together to formulate a plan to break into Abashiri Prison. They come upon the agreement to sneak into a lightly guarded strip of land facing out on the Abashiri River. In present time, Kiroranke and Tanigaki, disguised as an Ainu are setting up camp with a toilet as well in order to hide the tunnel that Sugimoto, Cikapasi, and Kantarou were creating.

Just then, Kadokura and some of the other guards approached Tanigaki and Kiroranke, asking them to move to another location. Tanigaki puts on an act and asks if they wanted more salmons while outing the guards that had made a deal with him for the salmons. Kadokura eventually relents and asks Tanigaki to bring five salmons in exchange for letting them fish there, which Kiroranke is not happy about. As the guards walk away, vowing to keep it a secret from Inudou, Tanigaki notices Inkarmat on the othe side of the river. In the port town of Shari, Arisaka is showing off a new invention of his to Tsurumi who pleads him to be quieter. Koito notices that Usami still has the drawings on his moles and tells him to wash them off but Usami reveals that he had them turned into tattoos much to Koito's surprise.

As Sugimoto and Kiroranke continues to dig, the former wonders if it is time for them to dig up since the prison house is on the opposite side but Kiroranke notes that it would be too late if they dug that far. Once they had gotten to the reference that Hijikata had given them, they decide to finish up and begin their operation. Upon coming out of the clearing, Sugimoto is startled to see Kadokura, silently sipping his drink and staring back at him.

**Share** (分け前, *Wakemae*) is the 312th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Sugimoto shoots at Tsurumi and announces that "this train's headed for hell... and these are the VIP sits". Hearing that, Tsurumi reminisces of what Kikuta warned him: he would be defeated by the vagrant boy. Tsurumi realizes that Sugimoto is indeed the vagrant boy Kikuta mentioned. Asirpa tells Sugimoto to not listen to Tsurumi, and Sugimoto lunges at the First Lieutenant. Tsurumi grazes Sugimoto's arm with a shot of his rifle. The two continue to fight and Tsurumi manages to disarm Sugimoto, kicking his rifle down the rail tracks. Sugimoto fights back and Tsurumi bites into his cheek, tearing some skin off Sugimoto's face. In that moment, Tsurumi also manages to remove the bolt in the rifle that Sugimoto tried to take from him. Sugimoto grabs Hijikata's katana and braces himself for a fight.

In the meantime, on another train car, Nagakura carries Hijikata's dead body. Kantarou asks if Nagakura is going to avenge Hijikata and get the land deed. Nagakura replies that he would have happily given his life if that meant he would protect Hijikata as he chased his dreams, but now it has no meaning. He also doesn't want to leave Hijikata's body here for everyone else to see. Kantarou notices that the train is stopping. Shiraishi is seen stopping the train car and running to Asirpa and Sugimoto. As he runs, he hears galloping and sees Genjirou Tanigaki on a horse.

Tsurumi asks if the gold was in Goryokaku. He argues that if it's not the case then he sees no reason in Wilk making mottled gold coins and that it would mean he had told the Ainu about military funds that don't exist to deceive them into starting an uprising. Tsurumi explains his reasoning, saying that Japan has few resources and to defend it it's necessary to expand to Manchuria. He says that Central will hold them back so the deed is necessary to keep them at bay. Tsurumi reminds Sugimoto that he fought in the Russo-Japanese War for Japan's sake. Sugimoto replies that he worked for the army just because they fed him. Tsurumi tells Sugimoto to jump off the train; in exchange, he would forget about the gold. He reasons that Central is pursuing him so he wouldn't be able to get the gold anyway, so Sugimoto and Asirpa can take it.

Asirpa draws her arrow and refuses to comply. Sugimoto tells Tsurumi they're ending this right here and right now. Tsurumi reaches for his gun hidden inside the headlight, and Sugimoto comments that he isn't interested in a deal with Tsurumi as he has already got his share. Sugimoto grabs a handful of gold from his pocket that he picked up in Goryokaku and throws it at Tsurumi at the same moment as Tsurumi draws his gun at him. As the gold dust obscures Tsurumi's view, Sugimoto lunges at him with a sword.

Boutarou shrugs it off, saying that he is looking at the gallant figure of a man who will become king and not to look away or forget every second of his glory. Koito spots the beer car coming after them and several members of the 7th Division prepares to fight against them, telling Tsurumi to go on ahead. They fire at the beer car and Boutarou swerves the car into a building, surprising the people inside, and drives out to continue the chase.

Tsurumi has his men go separate ways so as to confuse Sugimoto’s Group but Sugimoto says that Tsurumi expects them to go after the ones on horse and that they should keep going after the steam pumper. Sugimoto is unable to shoot the driver from the beer car and Boutarou attempts to pull up next to the steam pumper but Tsurumi leans over and shoots Boutarou in his chest. As they almost crash into another building, Shiraishi takes over the wheels, asking where Boutarou had been shot at but he remains silent as he curses himself.

The beer car manages to catch up with the steam pumper, but Kikuta pops out wielding a pair of revolvers and fires at the beer car. Boutarou shoves Shiraishi aside and receives the full blunt of Kikuta’s attack as Kikuta continues to unload on Boutarou before retreating. The beer car crashes into a telephone pole as Kikuta tells Tsurumi that Sugimoto’s Group may no longer be able to follow them. Unbeknownst to them, Sugimoto manages to hop onto the steam pumper with a tranquil fury.

## Chain Deathmatch

**Chain Deathmatch**, or **Chain Death Match** (鎖デスマッチ, *Kusari Desumatchi*) is the 135th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Sugimoto  beats, stabs, and knocks over Nikaidou. Just as he points his rifle at him, Nikaidou lifts up his prosthetic shotgun leg. Confused, Sugimoto shoves down Nikaidou’s leg and gets shot in the calf. Sugimoto falls down, but before Nikaidou can shoot him again, Sugimoto twists the prosthetic leg back and uses it to blast Nikaidou’s right hand off. Sugimoto starts beating him with his leg, but, overhearing 7th Division soldiers, crawls away under a building.

Meanwhile, Inudou mocks Hijikata for spending the past few decades in prison, unlike his former comrade Takeaki Enomoto, who capitulated and became a viscount under the new Meiji Government. Inudou pulls Hijikata forward by the chain, and, during the ensuing sword fight, manages to slash his upper left arm. Inudou demands Hijikata beg for his life and become his underling. Hijikata calls out the fear Inudou and the Meiji Government hold towards the soldiers who fought for the Shogun, as those who died for their ideals would be glorified, and undermine the Meiji Government's authority on the concept of "loyalty". Hijikata was kept alive, and the goal of Inudou’s revenge was to make him convert to their side and appoint him as his subordinate. Hijikata continues to defy Inudou, and when Inudou pulls him forward again, Hijikata splashes the blood that has been trickling down his arm and pooling in the cusp of his hand at Inudou’s eyes. While Inudou is blinded, Hijikata cuts him down.

## Asirpa's Choice

**Asirpa's Choice** (アシㇼパの選択, *Ashiripa no sentaku*) is the 311th chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

The train moves forward, and Tsurumi shoots in the direction of Asirpa, Sugimoto, and Shiraishi, but misses. Asirpa leads Shiraishi and Sugimoto down in the train car and tells them to stay there, claiming that the Ainu deed is her problem and that she will return the deed herself. Shiraishi notices that the train cars have been uncoupled and Tsurumi is getting away. Asirpa asks Sugimoto and Shiraishi to fulfill her final request: the well with the gold in Goryokaku must stay buried. As she remembers the faces of many people who died trying to get the gold, Asirpa says that they need to break the golden *kamuy'*s curse. She gives Sugimoto the Ainu coin and promises to hunt a bunch of bears to get their gal bladders so Sugimoto can get enough money for Umeko's medical treatment; she also gives Shiraishi the hanpen she kept with herself. Asirpa bows to her friends and begs them to not go back to the well and forget about it.

Shiraishi sighs deeply and asks Sugimoto to tell Asirpa that "he understands". Sugimoto does that and grabs Asirpa by her mantle, saying he won't let her do that. Sugimoto promises Shiraishi to see him around and then jumps into the train car ahead with Asirpa in his arms. He asks Asirpa if she thinks he'd let her go by herself and reminds her that they're partners. Asirpa smiles and the shine in her eyes returns.

Tsurumi continues to shoot but he runs out of ammo. However, he switches to the guns on the train car and attempts to shoot Sugimoto. Sugimoto and Tsurumi clash, but Tsurumi manages to push Sugimoto off. Asirpa aims her poisoned arrow at Tsurumi and forces him to get outside the train car. Sugimoto notes that Tsurumi is at disadvantage because he is alone and he tries to lure them outside. Asirpa says they need to stop the train first and Sugimoto leaves it to her while he goes out to face Tsurumi in their final showdown.

## Appetite for Destruction

**Appetite for Destruction** (破壊欲, *Hakai Yoku*) is the 131st chapter of the *Golden Kamuy* manga.

## Synopsis

Realizing the 7th Division have arrived, the prisoners of Abashiri Prison plead to be released from their cells. Sugimoto tells Shiraishi to come up with a way for them to escape, while Kadokura fires at them from down the hall to keep them in place.

Tanigaki asks Inkarmat if she had still been colluding with Tsurumi the entire time. Inkarmat replies that Sugimoto’s group has failed, and now only Tsurumi will be able to recover Asirpa and Nopperabou safely. Tanigaki asks if that means she is fine with the 7th Division getting their hands on the Ainu gold, and Inkarmat says the gold has nothing to do with either Tanigaki or herself.

Inudou orders his men to set up Maxim guns on both sides of the main gate like they’ve trained. His plan is to eliminate the soldiers who burst through in the crossfire. However, the 7th Division outwit them and shoot down the wall facing the Abashiri River. Tanigaki, Inkarmat, and Kantarou flee the shore through the tunnel into the prison, and the sound of the heavy fire makes Toni drop Asirpa in pain. Asirpa tries to return to Sugimoto, but Toni stops her when he questions whether or not she wants to meet her father again. Ushiyama and Kiroranke escape from Kadokura’s quarters.

Tsurumi and his men approach the prison on small boats. Tsukishima asks Tsurumi what cover story he has prepared for Central Command, and Tsurumi explains that that August, there were reports of an outbreak of locusts on the coast of Kushiro. Using an incident from the 15th year of the Meiji Era as precedent, they secured heavy artillery with Heiji Koito's cooperation to deal with the pests. They’ll say that along the way they received reports of a prisoner revolt at Abashiri Prison, and sailed there to help resolve the situation. Tsurumi says that Central Command won’t go out of their way to verify the story, and their reports will be sufficient. This will necessitate eliminating all witnesses on the Abashiri side.

The 7th Division pass through the broken wall and shoot down surrendering Abashiri guards. Inudou tells his men they have no choice but to fight back.

## Synopsis

Sugimoto's group discusses the blind bandits and their leader as Shiraishi reveals that every one of them were prisoners in Abashiri with their leader being the only one with a tattoo on his body. When Kiroranke questioned the number of blind prisoners, Shiraishi says that they were probably the ones that had to work on Mount Io and due to the sulfur dioxide in the air, they must've lost their eyesight as a result.

Meanwhile, a guide is trying to lead a drunken nobleman back home as he warned him about the Tengu bandits in the area. The guide hears the sound of footsteps approaching them and begins to panic as an unknown man steps towards them with a gun, ordering the guide to move. He shoots the lantern and tells the guide to leave the money and horse, and to get out of the place. The nobleman is enraged and attempts to shoot the man but is killed by the blind man who is revealed to be the leader of the blind bandits, Anji Toni. Shiraishi continues to tell the others about Mount Io and that under Inudou's supervision, prisoners were sent out to operate on the mountain, with some of them being killed in the process. The ones that had survived and escaped from Mount Io eventually joined Toni's group.

The next day, Sugimoto and Asirpa heads out to Lake Kushiro to hunt some owls. They are able to capture one but it manages to escape and Sugimoto attempts to shoot it down, hitting it in the eye as Asirpa warns him not to do so. Asirpa tells him of an Ainu legend that a village chief had caught a kotan kor kamuy, slicing its eye and going blind soon afterwards. When Sugimoto begins to look worried, Asirpa tells him not worry since it is just a superstition. However Asirpa's cousin, the son of Huci's 13th younger sister is infuriated as Asirpa points out the culprit.

They cook up and eat the owl as Asirpa and Kiroranke tells the others about the importance of the kotan kor kamuy that protects the village by loudly shrieking at any monsters that may try to creep in out of the darkness. Once they had finished eating, Asirpa's cousin says that they cannot rely on the kamuy to protect the village and that the village men are prepared to die fighting the bandits. Just then, they hear the shrieking of an owl as the sounds of a geta clicking the night could be heard.
