What is Golden Kamuy About?

Golden Kamuy takes place in Hokkaido, Japan in the 1900s after the Russo-Japanese war. A veteran and now former soldier, Saichi Sugimoto is given the title ‘Immortal’ owing to his feats in war. At the end of this turmoil, Saichi is out to find gold to keep his promise to his best friend who passed in battle. He gave his word to support his family and help his wife who was slowly losing her eyesight.

One day he learns the story of a man who killed a group of Ainu and stole their fortune and hid it in Hokkaido before his arrest. The only clue to this location is an obscure map that is left behind by this man in the form of tattoos on the bodies of prison inmates. Saichi only comes to believe this tale when he finds the corpse of one of these men. This man was killed by a bear, that now attacks Saichi but is saved by a young girl named Aspira who has prodigal hunting skills and is the daughter of one of the dead Ainu. The two set out on a mutual mission to discover the hidden treasure.

Are there Golden Kamuy Season 4 spoilers?

Season 3 of Golden Kamuy ends with the Return to Karafuto Arc which ends with episode 36 of the anime. The group sets to find a doctor to treat Tsukishima and Ogata’s wounds as they depart from Akou. Golden Kamuy Season 4 will open with episode 37 of the overall series and will start the return to Hokkaido Arc. The manga adaptation for Season 3 ended with Chapter 200, partially adapting Chapters 199 and 200 in the last bit of the season.

The return to Hokkaido Arc will begin with the group leaving the Karafuko village and stopping to do some shopping before their journey continues. In what seemed to be an ambush, Saichi had a feeling that they were being watched from afar. Shiraishi heads to look for Sugimoto but is suddenly shot. The threat around them begins to manifest as the group realizes they really are not alone.

Each season of Golden Kamuy is only about the length of one cour, that is around 13 episodes. The manga is currently on Chapter 298 and is in its final Arc. With over a hundred chapters to adapt, there is still a possibility of Golden Kamuy Season 5 as well.

When will Golden Kamuy Season 4 release?

Golden Kamuy Season 4 has only gotten an announcement video so far. The release date for the anime is still a matter of guessing at this point. It would be fair to expect a mid-2022 release if the anime is already in production. Crunchyroll and Funimation have streamed the previous seasons of the anime and have also included an English Dub for the series.

Season 4 is also expected to land on these streaming platforms (Crunchyroll) before they come to any other platforms like Netflix. The best possible release window is Summer 2022 at the moment.
