Moreover, two movies titled “Golden Kamuy: Sapporo Beer Kōjō-hen” have been announced, adapting the penultimate arc before the climactic battle for the coveted gold treasure unfolds. The first and second of these movies will hit Japanese theaters on October 10th and October 31st respectively, with Awich x Ali providing the theme song titled “Kogane no Kanata” (Beyond the Gold). With fans eagerly anticipating these feature films and the thrilling final arc, it’s an exhilarating moment to be a follower of Satoru Noda’s remarkable masterpiece.

Golden Kamuy’s Finale Is on the Horizon With Latest New Look

In the early 1900s, after the Russo-Japanese War in Hokkaido, Saichi Sugimoto, a soldier turned legendary figure called “Sugimoto the Immortal,” embarks on a journey to find gold as a means of honoring a vow to his late comrade. The goal: to support his friend’s family, especially his sick widow. He hears rumors of hidden Ainu gold that has been secreted by a murderer, whose accomplices had tattoos marking the map. Upon stumbling upon a body bearing such tattoos and surviving an attack from a bear (thanks to the help of an Ainu girl named Asirpa, who lost her father in these events), they decide to work together to locate the treasure for reasons of justice and personal atonement.

For the final season’s cast list, we don’t have the details yet, but it’s expected to be similar to the movie’s lineup. Shizutaka Shizuhara is set to reprise his role as the chief animation director, while Noboro Takagi (known for Kuroko’s Basketball and Kingdom) will oversee the series composition. Additionally, Takumi Yamakawa will return to work on character designs, Jin Aketagawa (Fire Force) will be the sound director, and Kenichiro Suehiro (Re:Zero, Undead Unluck) will handle the music.
