We're so back

ObvsThrowaway51202026-01-12 15:57

The actual Ripper, a sniper battle, spunk detective, and the boys almost drowning in a river of Sapporo beer. GK knows how to keep you hooked week after week lol. Keen to see how this little operation plays out. Who’s gonna get Jack first?

Mr_Zaroc2026-01-12 17:53

I love that he literally went "Its that big, I dont have enough sperm to cover it all"
Like some animal marking its territory

Also I just realized that Jack the ripper was literally jacking it too

l3reezer2026-01-14 02:16

And you just know that since this is GK, he’s gotta be jacked as well. Jacked Jack the Ripper jacking it in a jacket

Iskandar332026-01-12 22:43

> The actual Ripper, a sniper battle, spunk detective, and the boys almost drowning in a river of Sapporo beer.

tamest Golden Kamuy situation

Silent-Witness18882026-01-12 16:01

The weirdly animated faces are really ruining the immersion.

Kirbyundertale2026-01-12 16:53

how? that's like the most important thing to this show

Silent-Witness18882026-01-12 21:16

Only happens when their faces at an angle, which definitely shows. Compare them to Geno's if you like.

Ashteron2026-01-12 16:10

It's pretty funny GK and Time for Torture air on the same day, because they both have Chikahiro Kobayashi and Haruka Shiraishi as leads.

Mr_Zaroc2026-01-12 17:50

Its fate
I also like how the shows basically inverse the straightman position for their jokes

MokonaModokiES2026-01-12 20:40

no its not fate ~~strange fake~~. Thats on saturday.

SeiyaTempest2026-01-12 20:52

Now I want to see Sugimoto as a Berserker.

zool7142026-01-12 18:10

From “Fujimi no Sugimoto !!!” to “Hime-sama ?”

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-12 20:27

I'm about to watch torture next so it'll be funny to watch that after seeing drunken Sugimoto here.

alconnow2026-01-12 16:28

Unexpected dancing Sugimoto for the ED. Love it! Storyboard provided by Satoru Noda himself

EDIT - Noda also storyboarded the OP

Mr_Zaroc2026-01-12 17:51

Yeah thats one hell of an ED
First I thought it was reversed, then I fought he was fighting invisible enemies when he suddenly started doing those weird expressions

I am so hoping this a Zetsubou Sensei situation and that ED will make sense in the end

Kirbyundertale2026-01-12 16:59

Apparently the ending is storyboarded by the Satoru Noda himself (GK author), what can't he do???

Mr_Zaroc2026-01-12 17:50

Thats awesome news, I was a bit worried that the first episode was rushed, but if the author himself is doing it we should get a good ending hopefully

kaeceras2026-01-12 18:02

i think they might have meant the ending credits

Mr_Zaroc2026-01-12 18:44

Ah that makes a bit more sense

And also explains a) the superb facial expressions and b) how its awesome and confusing at the same time

\> what can't he do

Write a bad story

tripleaamin2026-01-12 18:29

Man, I hope coming off the Golden Kamuy anime, Dogsred gets a great adaptation. I haven't read it in a while, but man, I really liked it. Even if the story isn't as unique as Golden Kamuy, which is a hard story to match.

Plus, it feels like we haven't had a good animated team sports anime since Haikyuu!!

Kirbyundertale2026-01-12 18:44

I need to get on it, it looks so fun.

SeiyaTempest2026-01-12 21:58

I hope so too. It feels like ice hockey is rarely covered in manga. I know it's more popular in Hokkaido than "mainland" Japan (if that's the right term), so along with Golden Kamuy's focus on Ainu culture, you can tell Noda is passionate about his homeland. And he's improved a lot since his first attempt (Supinamarada!) in 2011.

Kirbyundertale2026-01-12 18:44

Facts!!!

flashmozzg2026-01-12 20:51

I bet he could if he tried.

Level_Travel57082026-01-12 19:16

He did storyboard the opening too

Kirbyundertale2026-01-12 21:40

goddamn, no one tell Fujimoto

MusubiKazesaru2026-01-13 02:09

It was honestly incredible and that's just the cherry on top.

mybookismycity2026-01-12 17:06

The helicopter throw got me rolling lol. What a timing for Tsurumi to arrive in town, soon enough the entire party should gather and of course Shiraishi has the best ass, even Jack the Ripper said so.

Mr_Zaroc2026-01-12 17:52

The helicoper throw is so peak GK

Ocixo2026-01-12 18:14

I liked how they slowed down time for this helicopter throw just so Usami and Koito could get a good look at each other’s faces.

SpikeRosered2026-01-12 17:32

One of the consistently interesting things about this story is that it has so many factions with characters regularly moving between them. Then you have these clashes where all these disparate interests come out and it makes for very chaotic action scenes.

I guess the only negative is that so often these dudes are all trying to kill each other but are constantly coming within a hair's breadth of doing it so they can all do it again next time.

Mr_Zaroc2026-01-12 17:55

Yeah its so interesting that the cast is so interwoven and many of them have gotten some deep backstory to flesh them out
Plus how Tsurumi shows up in most of them

I feel you on the not dying part though, Ogata is one hell of a soldier to go through that
Since this is the last season, I am wondering when we will see people finally start to die

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-12 20:29

I think since this is the final season, we will actually see a number of them dying.

WednesdaysFoole2026-01-12 21:54

>One of the consistently interesting things about this story is that it has so many factions with characters regularly moving between them. Then you have these clashes where all these disparate interests come out and it makes for very chaotic action scenes.

It's something I absolutely love about Golden Kamuy, I often refer to it as the prime example of heightening the tension due to enemies with competing goals working together. It's not like enemy team ups mean they'll always become best buddies that run off into the sunset hand in hand (even if running off into the sauna, whipping plants in hand, isn't off the table).

Mr_Zaroc2026-01-12 17:49

Damn didnt lose any time
Awesome to see all 3 parties finally engaging
Loved the tiny "What a refreshing flavour" product placement there

Well this is getting intense, cant wait for Tsurumi to show up and make it even crazier

Lastly, thats one hell of an ED, still unsure if he is fighting invisible enemies, is doing an intrepetative dance or has gone mad

Ocixo2026-01-12 18:16

> Loved the tiny “What a refreshing flavour” product placement there

Haha yeah, that one was pretty funny.

But damn, they’d gotten *really* drunk after getting literally flooded with beer.

karer3is2026-01-12 21:07

TBF, Sapporo **is** pretty good. It's a shame we can only get the Euro- brewed version here in Germany, though....

LeonKevlar2026-01-12 17:51

Out of all the insanities in this show, [I didn't think that their Jack the Ripper is the real deal](https://i.imgur.com/0NykuV9.jpeg), but that completely tracks.

I love how everyone [had their mouths open and drinking](https://i.imgur.com/aIYuuv5.jpeg) when the beer barrels exploded. I would've loved it if this episode were actually sponsored by Sapporo Beer. [They already have Sugimoto endorsing the product](https://i.imgur.com/M9UKMYo.jpeg) xD

Ashteron2026-01-12 18:09

>I would've loved it if this episode were actually sponsored by Sapporo Beer.

I believe there are/were some collaborations.

zool7142026-01-12 18:08

I love the random humour thrown in among the chaos with this show. Like what was up with the slow mo eye contact between Usami and Koito as Usami was spinning in mid air lmao

SA0902026-01-12 18:18

This was a much better episode than last week’s.

tripleaamin2026-01-12 18:30

Pacing was definitely better. Granted, episode 1 was an awkward spot, picking up where S4 left off.

SA0902026-01-12 19:08

Agreed. Pacing was my main issue last time, so this was much better to me.

NoblesSlayer2026-01-12 19:06

I mean, let's be fair to last week's episode - it was basically a set-up episode and not much more.

SA0902026-01-12 19:08

I don’t believe anyone said otherwise. Those can be fun too.

MokonaModokiES2026-01-12 20:50

it was still fun. Specially Ushiyama chasing Ueji with him opening the door he was dragging around and coming through it.

Ocixo2026-01-12 18:25

Jack the Ripper was probably the last person that I wanted to catch a glimpse of Asirpa. Especially now that Sugimoto’s gotten so extremely drunk - by accident - that he won’t be able to keep her safe.

Botaro might be a little vexing with his questions, but I do feel like he’s looking out for Asirpa. Because what’s truly more important to her: this revolution or Sugimoto?

tripleaamin2026-01-12 18:38

It wouldn't be Golden Kamuy if chaos wasn't thrown in the middle of all of this. Everyone is tied to a side, with Sugimoto & Hijikata cooperating at this time. It is quite ironic that because of them cooperating, Ogata doesn't have a side to belong to. Hijikata would absolutely prioritize Asirpa over Ogata. Ogata is alone here. However, one would argue Ogata being alone and the wildcard is where he is the scariest. Thankfully, Vasily is around, keeping him in check to a degree.

Kikuta does have a point about Asirpa wanting to learn more about the Ainu incident, but it is clear now that she cares more about their future. Though Kikuta's information about the gold coins matching the tattoo skins sounds legit, though. Very Golden Kamuy fashion, where we had the silliness of the guys in the beer factory drunk and moving about while switching to the conversation between Kikuta & Asirpa. How the tone shifts back and forth between these two scenes and doesn't lose the impact between them is incredible.

professorMaDLib2026-01-13 05:14

Ogata has always been at his most dangerous when he's on your side. The backstab is guaranteed to come at the worst possible moment, so him on his own is actually comparatively safer bc at least you to be on the lookout for a sniper

Emo_Femboy_282026-01-12 20:04

Love how Tsukishima and Koito were completely clueless on Usami's sperm tactics lol

l3reezer2026-01-14 02:20

For someone whom I was grouping with Nikaidou as more minor 7th Division members, Usami’s stock has bizarrely gone up so much these past 2 seasons.

Been connected with Tsurumi long enough to have witnessed and played a part in Tsukishima and Ogata’s initiation, has developed an ongoing vendetta with Ogata, combatively strong enough to whack Ushiyama with his rifle on sight and hand-to-hand tussle with him for .01 seconds longer than anyone else.

Queue_Jumping_Quack2026-01-12 20:22

Michael Ostrog eh? He was a Jack the Ripper suspect in real life...

Pretty chaotic melee as the plan went sideways. And then everyone was drunk lol.

Its a game of "catch the Asirpa"... though that could a decent description of the series as a whole too.

genasugelan2026-01-13 21:59

> Michael Ostrog eh? He was a Jack the Ripper suspect in real life...

Oh shit, that's so cool.

NanDemoKnaives2026-01-12 20:25

LOL The moment I saw the beer flood over them I knew we were going to some great comedy, that drunken brawl was so funny, not that much of a brawl happened since they were too drunk to even stay standing. I kind of wanted to see a bit more of them but Sugimoto has things to do even, if he is not in his right mind.

Ushiyama throwing Usami turning him into a helicopter was so funny, that little moment with Koito was funny.

Looks like Ostrog has caught his eye on Asirpa so things have gotten even more dire but I'm excited to see where this mess will take everyone, it's all getting mixed up.

The ED was such a surprise, not what I would have expected for this series, let alone the finale.

karer3is2026-01-12 21:12

I'm curious about what the wannabe Soundcloud rapper's role is supposed to be in this whole thing, though... his face comes across as extremely punchable.

Silent-Witness18882026-01-12 21:14

Never would have thought that I would see an ED with Sugimoto doing a Contemporary dance, awesome and funny.

Valkomursu2026-01-12 21:30

Holy shit the OP is so good!

SeiyaTempest2026-01-12 21:41

Once again, everyone's coming together in the same location. I love these chaotic sequences where it's difficult to keep track of everything, like the endings of S2 and S3. Jack the Ripper is one slippery eel to somehow not get caught yet. I'm also shocked that "Sperm Detective" Usami's cum isn't powerful enough to cover the whole area after witnessing that legendary duel last season. And if things weren't crazy already, now Tsurumi's here to turn the insanity even higher.

Sugimoto and the 7th getting drunk from that Sapporo Beer river was also pretty hilarious (nice product placement there). Especially poor old Nikaidou accidentally shooting himself with his shotgun leg. At least he didn't lose another body part this time.

P.S. Sugimoto's interpretative dancing definitely wasn't what I expected from the final ED... but honestly, it's actually perfectly fitting for the madness of Golden Kamuy. Satoru Noda is something else.

professorMaDLib2026-01-13 05:02

Sapporo is one hell of an arc.

SeiyaTempest2026-01-13 05:04

Indeed. I'm excited to see how everything is resolved.

2uperunhappyman2026-01-13 00:16

So if you look at sugimotos dance theres references to his journeyup to this point.

beginning with him panning for gold, fighting ogata, making chititap, the blushing face from the otter scene, crying in the deer carcas with asirpa, the stenka, doing his circus harikari dance and pulling out the arrow in ogatas eye. there was a reference to something not adapted yet but i dont want to spoil it.

really cool

beginnerflipper2026-01-13 06:18

ohhhhhhhhh, you are right!!

MusubiKazesaru2026-01-13 02:10

Great episode. I liked the OP (not nearly as much as S4's), but loved the ED.

Are we ever going to get the Lightning Bandit OVA subbed?

tripleaamin2026-01-13 03:23

The raws of them appeared online last night. Now we just wait till it gets fansubs.

CrimsonGear802026-01-13 05:10

Sugimoto was NOT drunk! Everyone knows you reload a bolt-action rifle by blowing into the bullet chamber!

Hohoho-you2026-01-13 14:34

He was cleaning out the beer in it

pezzaperry2026-01-13 11:47

I really have no idea what's going on anymore, but I'm still loving it.

Sr_DingDong2026-01-13 14:57

More frames in the ED than all of season 3 of OPM.

Ormusn2o2026-01-13 20:27

Interesting translation early on in the episode. "Tanuki hunt" said as "Tanuki-gari" by Sugimoto actually is a Sapporo slang in the Meiji era for police crackdown on unlicensed sex workers, so it was a very reasonable excuse to use to get her out of the street, but it was totally lost in the translation. The subs have the literal meaning, not the intended meaning.

SirusRiddler2026-01-13 20:33

Wow, that ED animation is absolutely amazing.

Open_Inspector_78632026-01-15 05:02

What an insane episode. You can see they upped the animation, specifically the impacts have a subtle grounded quality to them. Opening and ending never looked better aswell. Asirpa, Sugi, Hiji, Dick San, Ogata, Vasily or the drunk 7th i dont even know who the MvP was this week. Jack the actual fucking Ripper needs to keep his dirty english fiddlers away from Asirpa. The girl has a tribe to unite. Peak Kamuy is finally back.

iamyou202026-01-16 06:31

I missed them so much 🥹🩷

Iron_Kingpin2026-01-16 16:37

Sugimoto is still under the influence of the beer in the ending lol
