Konnichiwa everyone. If I were to check out a new anime from its 1st season, I look to see if there’s a manga version and if yes, I read the manga. It’s Boss from Otaku Republic.

Konnichiwa everyone~! When I check out a new anime from the first season, I check out the anime version! It’s Saori from Otaku Republic! I think I save time that way because 1 episode of anime usually consists of several manga episodes!
boss/question
Well, depends on the anime, I think...... With that said, it’s hard when we’re interested in a currently airing anime, but we don’t know what happened in the previous seasons.

and so today! The 4th season currently trending and on air! In case you thought it may be too late to ask, we will briefly explain what this work is about!!

First of all, What is Golden Kamuy about?

Staged in Japan’s northern land, Hokkaido!
Breaks out mid Meiji Period, battles of Wilderness Survival x Gold Rush enmeshed with conspiracy and stratagem!
boss/smile
If I were to choose 1 phrase to describe Golden Kamuy’s plotline, it would be ‘Gold Rush battle!’
saori/closeeye
Yes! It takes place in Japan’s northern land, Hokkaido, more than 100 years ago!
boss
Hokkaido is positioned in the northern most end of Japan, and it is a land that’s known for its harsh climates and ample nature. Still to this day, the area is resided by a Hokkaido specific indigenous people, ‘Ainu tribe.’
The beginning of it all.
A ‘crazy action’ taken by ‘a convict’ who knew the hidden location of immense amount of gold.
saori
Well, first all, how did the ‘gold rush’ competition start in Golden Kamuy?
boss
The story started as a result of “a crazy action” by “one convict.” In the past, this “one convict” stole an enormous amount of gold from the Ainu people. Even when he was arrested and tortured by the police, he not only kept silent about the gold’s location, but he also bribed the other convicts.
“Jailbreak from here. If you succeed, I’ll give you half the gold.”
boss
The bribed convicts got engraved tattoos on their backs. The location of the hidden gold was encrypted in the tattoo. So, the gold-seeking police force decides to transfer the prisoners to a larger police station in order to decode the encryption.
boss
And that was exactly what the prisoners wanted. The tattooed convicts were mostly on death-rows, and the moment they were taken outdoors to transfer, they easily “escaped the prison.
boss/smile
And hence, both the gold and the tattooed convicts disappeared, and the legend was just about forgotten...... Then, Sugimoto Saichi searching for the means to provide for his best friend’s wife meets Asirpa of Ainu tribe.

In order to raise the medical cost for the widow of his best friend who died in the war, Sugimoto decides to work together to find gold with Asirpa-san who wants to take back the stolen gold of her Ainu people.

But, they are not the only ones going after the gold, right?
boss/smile
Right! there’s Tsurumi who is in the police force who secretly seeks for gold despite being ordered to suppress Hokkaido, and acts alone in secrecy......

In 2022, Golden Kamuy was so~~~ happening~!
boss
That’s right. The original story source, the manga concluded, and there was the announcement of the action film version. On top of that, there was exhibitions too; so much happened as if to celebrate its 8 years of publication.
saori/high
To be honest, I think it would be difficult for a completely new viewer to jump right into and watch the 4th season. So please, if you are not familiar with it, please follow this ‘classic work’ that completed its series in 2022 from the anime 1st season 1st episode!
