so anime only here and I love the new OP/ED and the new spectacles character is hilarious, he's like Armstrong and Jojo had a lovechild
-
It's not that often that one of the character of the 3 teams passes away.
-
Nooo, this didn't just happen… It did? He actually died!? Omg, can't believe this actually happened. I'm kind of glad. He was one of the biggest psychos in this series but he was a lot of fun... Oh man. Can't wait to see how the First Lieutenant reacts to this. Only One Piece can get me as pumped and on the edge as Golden Kamuy. This is such a wild ride.

Ok the story about Tsurumi's given name is pretty freaky, like irl Golden Kamuy stuff:
[hide] A summary of Noda-sensei's essay about why he gave Tsurumi the given name "Tokushirou": sensei's father has an old friend who happens to share the same surname, Noda, although they don't have any connection. It turned out that their grandfathers came from the same tondenhei-mura (a village of farmer-soldiers sent from all over Japan to develop Hokkaido).Sensei's great grandfather is the real life Sugimoto Saichi, while the family friend's grandfather was named Hasegawa Tokushirou. When Hasegawa died in 1955, his family found among his belongings a resume and a child's finger bone. The resume contained details that his family didn't know about. Hasegawa was drafted by the 2nd Divison in Niigata in 1903. He received military training but he did not participate in the Russo-Japanese war. In 1904, in the middle of the war,he was suddenly discharged from the army and opened a photo studio in Tsukisappu, Sapporo. He was still in his early 20s.
However, two years later, he opened a photo studio in a Russian town, Gladecowa (spelling? the katakana is グラデコワ), near the Chinese border, and only returned to Japan to open a photo studio in Asahikawa five years later. Later on Tokushirou got married and had a daughter, Sumi, who would later become the mother of Noda Masanobu (the friend of Noda-sensei's father). Tokushirou's family was surprised because they didn't know Tokushirou once spent five years in Russia as a photographer.
He wasn't from a rich family, but he was able to open four photostudios in the Russian town while he's still in his twenties. Moreover, it took him a year to return to Japan via Germany along with the military attache Mystery surrounds Hasegawa Tokushirou's life. Japan was losing so many soldiers during the Russo-Japanese war, so they normally wouldn't just let any soldier go. No clear record of Tokushirou's life in Russia, yet it must have costed a lot of money. So what was he at that time? [/hide]

Holy crap, it does sound like real life Golden Kamuy! Thanks for the shared info, I wish I knew that much about my ancestors.
-
I was reading the story on Kamuy central like… oh I's his father's friend great-grandfather...oh he was conscripted but didn't fought...he was a photographer, nice...they found WHAT when he died?...he spend 5 years where?!...he came back with a military attache? That was freaking wild.

A user on r/imaginarymaps decided to create a scenario of Kiroranke's Dream, and I thought interesting to share:
[hide]
and the lore behind it:
So this is a map I devised of after binging Season 3 of Golden Kamuy then thinking of the military and political logistics of Kiroranke's grand scheme to create a federation of the Far Eastern Natives.
The first major change is the approach Japan takes to colonization: When Korea is taken by Japan in, Japan still leaves Korea as a puppet nation, similar to the later fate of Manchukuo and beyond. At a similar timeframe, Hokkaido and South Sakhalin sees a mass civil unrest just as soldiers are being pulled to Korea to handle the occupation of Korea to transition the formerly independent kingdom into servitude. The garrison in Hokkaido and the native Ainu population have somehow created a united front for a simple request from Tokyo: A revival of the Republic of Ezo. Tokyo, seeing it as outsourcing administrative costs and enough people in the high brass romanticizing the Shinsengumi of 50 years ago, concede. It's essentially Bantustan except 30 years early, and it's the Ainu and traditionalists unwelcome in Tokyo instead of the Africans. The Japanese 7th Division is elevated into becoming the Ezo Republic Army, and are given a directive to not trigger the Russians in anyway.
The Ezo Republic would slowly but surely become a more integrated nation among its inhabitants, whether they were Yamato, Ainu, Nivkhs, or Oroks: Unlike the highly conformist Japan (and more in line with later Manchukuo), there was certainly an air of more freedom compared to Japan as a frontier land, and as such spent a lot less resources on the integration of the minorities and more resources were spent on the favorite pass-time of the Pre-WW2 nations: arms build up!
The next major change is how Japan is perceived after WW1: The commander of the Japanese military in Siberia (an officer who had fought in the First Russo-Japanese War) manages to essentially persuade the White Russian leaders to follow whatever the strangely charismatic Japanese officer with a weird skull cap tells them to do. As a result, even after most of the other Allied forces pull out, Japan (especially after seeing that the Treaty of Versailles did not give Japan much at all) stuck through, with their goal being creating a White Russian puppet state. The British gave them tacit approval: If they wanted to throw bodies at a fool's errand, it wasn't going to harm the British any. After all, Japan's entire modern diplomatic track has been decently pro-Britain and regularly anti-Russian, which was fine for Britain as they feared communism as well. The United States was a bit more hesitant to give their tacit approval, but America was tired while the Japanese were just getting started. Soon, this war was renamed the Second Russo-Japanese War. Eventually, Japan and the USSR would come to a standstill, and they would sign a peace treaty in 1922 that established the Republic of Sakha-Kamchatka with a legally guaranteed communist party but occupied by the Hokushin Army. This Republic would be called the Hokushin Republic by most circles in Japan. Vladivostok and the territories in Outer Manchuria would be controlled by the Ezo Republic.
Japan would then use Ezo Manchuria as a stepping off point in addition to Korea for the creation of Manchukuo in 1932. Although this Manchukuo gets the formerly Ezo Manchuria annexed to them, for all intents and purposes all these puppet nations are part of the Japanese Empire and have essentially free travel in their borders.
In general, the Japanese rule in Manchuruia, Sakha, Ezo, and Chosen is more positively received as they still retain a great deal of autonomy than being fully annexed: sure, the military may at any moment burst in to your home while hunting down any communists or Korean independence activists, and they may also kidnap your loved ones for rape, and they may also conduct human experimentation in their 731 Unit, but unlike the original timeline, the Japanese puppet states did not have a serious focus on national cohesion: as long as the Yamato people in each nation were devoted to the Emperor, and as long as the Yamato people were in charge of each nation in practice, the Japanese attitude did not actually care what those barbarians thought. The practice of respecting cultural customs of different peoples that was fostered out of the Ezo Republic's early days were now influencing Japanese policy in the rest of their empire. People that were in Hokkaido knew this too: They knew that prior to the Ezo Republic, there was fierce clash of local customs and Japanese culture and a lot of resources were wasted on there. However, because the Republic of Ezo created a semblance of diversity being fostered, the locals were more inclined to fight for the Japanese: this saw an increase in conscription rate for the Japanese Armed Forces. This is no longer the Zealous Imperial Japanese Army of the original timeline. This is an Imperial Japanese Army that tolerated various backgrounds and cultures, one that was now seated firmly by logic.
This creates a cascading effect: The Mongolian People's Republic sees popular opinion shift to Japan after Japanese propaganda promised the Mongols reunification with the Buryats and the Tuvans, and one Mongolian civil war later, the Chinese Northern Front and the Soviet Front is cleaned up nice and clean. By the dawn of the Second Sino-Japanese War, northern China looks like their Ming Dynasty borders, with all of its historically non-Han territories gone.
At this point, Japan controls not only Manchukuo and Korea of the original timeline, but also the natural resources of Siberia and Mongolia. Sure, most of that land is empty, the culture is highly militarized, and human rights are not really looked highly upon, but at least cultural diversity, right? With that in mind, Japan invades China Proper, and slodges through it like the original timeline. The Japanese military is effective in China even during winter campaigns, as they now have cold-weather experience. They manage to take improperly winterized Chinese units down one by one, giving Japan a slightly bigger edge.
Japan also preemptively sells a non-aggression pact to the US: As long as the US keeps selling oil to Japan, Japan will not attack the East Indies. In exchange, Japan handed over to America the islands they got from Germany after WW1 (in secret from Hitler of course). Pearl Harbor doesn't happen.
In this timeline, the USSR does not manage to take Berlin on V-E Day: Only the most essential supplies are able to make it through Persia into the USSR. V-E Day runs a few months late, and it is American soldiers that take Berlin. Russian casualties are even higher in this timeline.
At 1945, Chinese internal forces finally overthrow Chiang Kaishek and form the reorganized government, who then negotiates a peace treaty with Japan that recognizes Japanese supremacy in East Asia, enumerates Tibet as an independent nation along with East Turkestan as the only free Central Asian nation against the Communist menace.
In this timeline, the Cold War is now on three fronts: the Japanese East Asia, the West, and the USSR. The Japanese want to expand south while guarding against the USSR. The USSR wants to expand both east and west as revenge for their past. The West are defending against both the Japanese and the USSR from decolonization and from Communism. Who will win in this timeline?
It matters not for the one Ainu man who got his wish: a federation of East Asian nations who had the right to live the way they wanted to live. As the 80 year old Tatar-Ainu who found a literal pile of gold and agreed to help a crazed but charismatic Lieutenant with connections almost 40 years ago lay on his deathbed in the forests of his homeland, he knew that he got what he wanted.[/hide]

Hi, folks. Just finished watching the latest season. At what manga chapter do start on, if I want to read from that point forward?
-

After the last skin being found, we are reaching the ending parts -

Maybe I'm not paying all the attention but, how Tsurumi came to be the very same Hasegawa? Was that already stated somewhere? It's really surprising to me

I think, if i remember correctly, that in the flashback chapters when the Russians close up in Wilks faction he reveled that he was a Japanese spy.

Yes, we saw also that Sophia accidentally killed Hasegawa's wife and kid. And we also saw flashbacks of Tsurumi. But I had no clue at all they were the same person . ,

Yeah, I had completely forgotten about that fact as well, but we knew beforehand. This story is damn complex at times, especially when it involves Tsurumi. I really want to reread the whole series in one go when I have the time to. Can someone explain to me why Tsukishima is pissed at Tsurumi right now?
-
Dunno on the exacts, but probably because he lied to Tsukishima about the thing he wanted most (a family), add that to the fact he already knew about the creepy finger bones when fan club president Koito didn't, he may believe that Tsurumi killed his own family.

Holy crap. I genuinely let out a scream. Of admiration.
The japanese authorities should catalogue this manga as a National Treasure and make it a mandatory reading at school.

Wilk, since his grave, is going to win over Tsurumi. Like a ghost Tsurumi didn't see coming. I call it now.
-
maaaan, this series is really great! Just loved some panels last chapter and the pacing has been really good this few chapters. I feel like we are reaching some climax now…? do we have any info on the continuity of this series? is it close to an end?
-
No info, my bet would be around chapter 320. We had all the skins, Tsurumi is making his move and Hijikata will probably make his as a counter move.
-
yes i agree the climax is not far away. I hope Sofia will survive. She is a great woman
