| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, happiness in this series really is hard to obtain. I thought this was an intense episode as it shows the reality of war and hardships. Deaths are inevitable and Tanigaki knows it. The world is a cruel place. Personally, I think this was also one of the most emotional episode of the season so far. The feels ;_; > What is my role in life? Most memorable quote of the episode. |

| Jesus man, not like this ... not like this. Manly tears were shed. |
 |
| That backstory was too sad then I saw the dance ah I am calm now |
 |
| Oh man, even though this episode was mainly filler, it still provided the life of Tanigaki and his sworn brother, Kenkichi, whom betrayed his life, for misunderstanding or not. Oh man, I feel so bad for Tanigaki now. Even the ravages of war could not be savaged, even if it's for friendship and whatnot. And OH God is this a very emotional episode, that's done quite magnificently. The entire 2nd half felt like truth spoken out of spite and heart-ridden qualms and regrets. Damn, is this #QOTE (Quote of the episode). The original cast is reunited with Tanigaki and others again...wanting to see how this will go. |

| damn that backstory...why do you play with my emotions...such a good chapter... |
 |
| Damn that was such a good episode. Awesome seeing his backstory. |
| damn, that fucking backstory was heavy as shit......sorta gave me flashbacks of the ending of Assassination Classroom |
 |
| I hope they do the same with Sugimoto backstory, it's very touching aswell. |
| Tears were shed. It hit me so damn hard. |
| holy shit, this was such a good episode. and the whole squad is back, damn. this is getting better and better with each episdoe |
 |
| this episode is so...WOW. its quite something. i agree someone above me, i hope Sugimoto is next after last week's ending. at least Asirpa calmed our emotions with her dance....well she tried |
| Holy shit this episode is so amazing |
 |
| Oh sweet Jesus, this episode, doe... Absolutely beautiful story with some cool details that hit hard ;_; And thank you Asirpa xD |

| Man, what a great episode this was. Without a doubt this was my favorite one from Golden Kamuy as a whole. It was mostly a backstory ep. but it was an amazing one. I already had some respect for Tanigaki but now that I know what he had gone through, he simply has become in another character I feel attached to. Not gonna lie, the backstory was very emotional and I feel very sorry for Kenkichi's dilemma. At first, I also thought he killed his wife but in the end, it was all an awful misunderstanding. It absolutely was very hard for him to make that decision. At least, seeing Asirpa dancing and singing gave me some comfort in the end. |
| Oh boy! What an intense episode. I was not crying, you were crying!!! Now I'm thrilled to see the tension between Ogata and Tanigaki when they come face to face again. There's no lost love between those two bad-asses. |
| We know more about Tanigaki's past. This episode is sad. |

| I never cried but I just feel down now. Phenomenal episode. |
| This was objectively the best episode of the series thus far |
| really great backstory for Tanigaki great to see a focus shift in this episode for variety Golden Kamuy still proving to be one of the best anime of the year |
| Oh my God... Poor Poor Tanigaki, such a sad backstory ;_; This backstory was so well done, the music was on point and the feels were so strong. At least Asirpa was there to calm us down, she's adorable <3 5/5 |

| These past 2 episodes have been really good. I thought that season 2 started off a little weak but this has definitely made up for it. That backstory was really well done and very emotional. Hoping Golden Kamuy keeps up this quality until the end. |
 |
| it's truly a crime how underrated this show is, pretty depressing but great episode |
 |
| That was a great back story! Genjirou chasing revenge for her sister, only to find out Kenkichi didn't murder her sister for the sake of it but because she willingly consented to it. What a teary story man, especially when he was about to die and Genjirou made it more sentimental when he gave him his own village's cuisine. I'm glad he remembered him. Now that they've found Asirpa's gang I wonder what's gonna transpire next. Great episode again, |

| I'm speechless, what a great episode! Probably the best episode, so emotional... Poor guy, he had to live his life with the burden that he killed her :/ I never know what to expect from this anime, it has a lot of great comedy but you never know when episodes like this will strike. What an amazing episode. |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| What a powerful and emotional episode. Thank goodness Asirpa was there at the end bringing a little bit of lightheartedness with her dance. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| This episode was simply powerful and emotional in every sense. It was almost entirely a backstory of Genjirou, but his story was very powerful and tragic. His mission was one filled with revenge after he lost his sister and that led him to the front lines of war against the Russians, where by chance, he encountered Kenkichi, who he was searching for all this time, lunge himself at the suicidal Russian to save his fellow soldiers from the bombs. Then after finding his bloodied body, still breathing, Genjoru finally gets to hear Kenkichi's story as to what happened before he passed away due to his injuries. This scene made me shed a few stars, thanks to the delivery of the story, perfectly-timed soundtrack and visuals. And thus, the episode ended of a happier note with Asirpa's crane dance. She never fails to put a smile on my face. =) Best episode of Golden Kamuy to date. Simply outstanding. ^_^ |
| Damn, beautiful backstory, beautiful flashback, beautiful episode, beautiful anime This backstory is right there among one of the best backstories like Homura's (PMMM) Tanigaki feeding his dying friend got me, such a beautiful scene, he instantly realize it was him What worries me tho is does this mean Tanigaki will betray them? Especially when Tsurumi told him he needs him, I know that's a flashback and all but it's gotta means something at this point right? It's foreshadowing a betrayal |

| I hope to see a Tsurumi back story as well, hopefully |
| This flashback episode for Tanigaki was really compelling and adds a lot to his character, but it feels kinda weird to disrupt the show's momentum so drastically for it. |
| TANIGAKI IS FAVORITE HUSBANDOOOO </3 |
 |
| Expected laughs and goofs... cried instead. |
 |
| Wow this was not only the best episode of the s2 but also the best episode of fall 2018. Really loved the backstory. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Not only Tanigaki's backstory was amazing, but the fact that Tsurumi sat there listening carefully to all of it says a lot about him too. |
*laughs in Dimple*  |
| Oh it's only Tanigaki's backstory, poor Fumi having smallpox can really make you be shunned by the entire village, and his husband has to bear the pain that he has to do for her. |
| Oh my heart. TT___TT Tanigaki needs lots of hugs and pussy... or dick. He could like them both. Who knows? Tanigaki is one of my favorite characters especially with his magnificent bushy eyebrows, his dialect, his hunting abilities and his personality. I loved learning more about his backstory. He loves his family so much, wanted to get revenge for his sister and his mom passed away from heartache. My poor boy. I wonder how his life would have been if he didn't join the 7th division. That part where he put a piece of kanaemochi in Kenkichi and when he started crying, that hurt the most. Also, I'm glad that they reunited with Asirpa and Sugimoto. |
| 臭い- |
| They adapted this really well. When people talk about 'feels' every time someone cries or dies in a show, I'd like to refer them to this episode to see how it's done without over the top manipulation and just with good storytelling. |

EGOIST said: I hope to see a Tsurumi back story as well, hopefully LOL i would love to see that 2 |
| BRAWLERS |
| And the next episode... I thought, that they will cut that arc, but guess not. It would be drastic change, compared to this episode. Let's see, how they will censor next episode. |
 |
| Why am I crying this much? Why am I? (╥_╥) |
 Humans don't have wings so they look for ways to FLY |
| Very strong and powerfull backstory |
 |
| One of the better stories of all the ones I've seen. Best backstory since Nanachi's. A weird place to insert it, though. |
| very good backstory enjoyed it all the way through |
| Watched from [Glue] subs. This is such an amazing emotional tragic episode! the back story of Tanigaki was extremely well done plus great OST! alright more ally team members! dis gonna be great! 5/5! |
