Golden Kamuy 3rd Season

Synopsis

Sugimoto's group arrives in Toyohara, centre of Karafuto, and a young boy steals a bag containing the copy of Gansoku's tattoo. Koito chaces him to the Yamada Circus and the group offer to join the circus hoping publicity may let Asirpa know that Sugimoto is alive. Koito is the only one with real talent, as an acrobatic, so Sugimoto offers to perform the "harikiri" act while Tsukishima and Tanigaki are relegated to join the "dancing girls" act under the harsh dance mistress Fumie. On the day of the performance, Koito dazzles the audience, however Tsukishima replaces the circus sword with a real one and instead of drawing fake blood, Sugimoto actually cuts himself. Before he has to cut his belly to draw blood, three Russians interrupt the performance to kill him, but he quickly kills two with the sword and Tsukishima downs the third. The surviving Russian reveals that they were really after Yamada who is an Imperial spy. Fumie summarily kills him and they bury the three bodies under the tent. Fortunately, an article about the circus appears in the local newspaper, mentioning the amazing harikiri act of the mis-spelled "Immoral Sugimoto". They ask Yamada if he knows of partisans heading north, and he mentions Alexandrovskaya Prison, 530 kilometers to the north, which houses a number of Eastern resistance fighters.
