| Damn, that's why it's a dangerous world out there. It was interesting to see how Koito is treated this episode in such an unpredictable environment. On the other hand, I like how this show continues to give signifiance to the Ainu culture. Heiji is hilarious tbh. |

| YELP, Lieutenant Otonoshin Koito's backstory sure is one of interest, being the spoiled rich kid of the famed naval captain Heiji Koito. Often seen as the inferior child in the Koito familyhim being cut down by this adult who was looking for his older brother who since has died, maybe they can become friends in the future. And that adult turned out to be Lieutenant Tsurumi, aiding in the rescue operation of the kidnapping of Koito from Russian forces in a typical corporation takedown supremacy for power in Hakodate. If they don't act fast, Koito's life will be in danger, so Tsurumi and the Koito family's movements must be discreet but swift. The rescue operation that's located further than what they anticipated Koito's kidnapped towards (Fort Goryokaku), while his father sported a guitar rift, it's Tsurumi who completed the execution. That's how the Tsukisappu anpan is the only thing that Koito remembers from his childhood, and it was how he met Tsurumi and admitted into the 7th Division, where he and Tanigaki will form the love-hate relationship for all his life from then on. Interesting episode to cover all the missing gaps from within. |
 |
| Wait, so all of that was a set up by Tsurumi? He is as cool as he is scary. |
| For the better or worse Koito's sense of duty is great. Or may just be survivor guilt. The whole run to Fort Goryokaku was just incredible. If I was that lady, I would never forget that wink. Well that explains why Koito is obsessed with Tsurumi, suspension bridge, and that pose. As always Tsurumi planning and charisma are scary. |
 |
| Tsurumi is without a doubt one of the most fascinating masterminds in animamga. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yet more proof that Tsurumi is the best character. Between him and Reigen from MP100 I struggle to decide who's the best husbando of the year. |
*laughs in Dimple*  |
| Tsurumi the mega mastermind, lowkey reminded me of his grand revelation we had in last season. This man.. you can only love him. |
 |
| Koito's rescue backstory was great but damn this clearly shows how of a mastermind Tsurumi is :o |
 |
FMmatron said: Tsurumi is without a doubt one of the most fascinating masterminds in animamga. This. He's an absolutely phenomenal antagonist, with layers upon layers of interesting depth tied to him. And he only gets better too. |

| Once again... the tsurumi lore deepens..... Easily the most interesting character in the whole show, no one comes closer to 2nd....... |
| I always love a flashback episode of Golden Kamuy, and once again one of these demonstrates just why Tsurumi has been able to garner such a following over the years: he truly is such a charismatic leader and antagonist, even after his brain injury. And it's also plain to see why Koito has such a fondness for him too |
| i guess i would simp for the guy too if he'd rescue me in this fashion. Even when he schemed the whole thing up. |
I'm not reading any replies or comments directed at me at all. I know my truth and if you disagree: that's fine but i couldn't give a damn about :) |

I rewatched some parts but didn't quite get it. I saw that Tsurumi punched Koito Heiji in the back for example. Ogata was dress as a russian and said "Barchonok" while pointing a gun towards Koito's head, but how were there 2 dead russians on the floor while Ogata being dressed as one of them??? Were the russians dead before all of this? I really don't get how everything is set up, but there is enough evidence for me to believe that it is and not enough to understand fully. I need some explanation ;( Yup, everything is as you said. And those dead russians were identified by old Koito as some prisoners that disappeared - I'd assume that Tsurumi "acquired" them in some way, then killed and had his people place their bodies there between knocking out old Koito and freeing young Koito. |
| This was a nice chapter but the lack of sugimoto team is getting to me. |
| The backstories never disappoint, and the story of how Koito and Tsurumi met was a pretty great one! Tsurumi remains my favourite character from this show, and that's unlikely to change. |
| Loved seeing Koito’s backstory and how he became so fixated on Tsurumi, I think this is one of my favorite episodes so far. It was a pretty intense situation, not only was Koito in danger but a war could have been started by result, Tsurumi really flexed his big brain here, he has all of it still at this point in time lol. I really loved seeing him and Koito’s dad riding the bike together, a badass and comical moment. I also loved that shot of Tsurumi walking into the room Koito was held captive in lol. And I do believe that was Ogata we saw at the end there, and it hints that Tsurumi orchestrated Koito joining the army, and if so that’s absolutely wild lol. |
| I absolutely love this stupid show, and how it can go from serious to outright goofy as hell and not miss a beat. Tsurugi riding on the bike with Koito's father was gold. |
 |
| Barchonok! Another great episode of my favorite Golden Kamuy! Lots of funny moments here. |
| Oppai check! 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| DUDE!! this episode was Honestly VERY WELL made... so clean and well guided. Golden Kamuy promising and fulfilling as always... PS: After one month hearing most of the Seasonal ED Songs... i gotta say this one is the Best of the Season... The Complete Version such an Awesome Song by THE SPELLBOUND!! |
| Man, Golden Kamuy's backstory episodes are always so great and the way Tsurumi is written is just next level. Also damn, no wonder why Koito is so obsessed with him. Pre-brain damage Tsurumi was a daddy~ |
| i laughed my ass off in this episode. everything after they found out its in #144 is hilarious. the setup tsurumi made to gain the respect of the navy was really interesting. once again we are graced with *go-ka's bizzare adventure . *golden-kamuy |
 “you’re immortal. Aren’t you?” “that’s a good line, put that one on my tombstone” -LOTGH  |
| As usual, Golden Kamuy's backstory episodes are a joy to watch. This one was no exception as we got to see how bloody awesome Tsurumi is, with how he got the young Koito to join him in the first place. Old man Koito had me laughing during the chase scene, where he and Tsurumi crashed into the tram and the old man was still running in the air like the proper chad that he was. His rockstar-like arrival at the old army base only made me laugh even more! XD I know that we've lack a proper lack of Sugimoto and Asirpa screentime so far, but these types of episodes, giving the other characters some screentime and development as well as telling some of their backstories, are definitely worth it. |
| Tsurumi back at it again with the plays, Goddamn. Immediately recognized Tsukishima's voice and of course Ogata from those "Russian" kidnappers. That motorcycle scene with Tsurumi and Otonoshin's dad was gloriously wacky. Gotta love Golden Kamuy being able to sneak in a scene like that in a serious story and nothing would be out of place lmao. It's so fascinating to see the 7th division members backstory, Tsurumi's always involved too lmao, wait, not even just the 7th division, he's pretty much in everyone's backstory, the madlad. The man is so charismatic that even a leaking skull is not enough to lessen his charisma. Gonna be really interesting how this plays in in the future with Otonoshin. Really looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| Tsurumi is one hell of a manipulative guy! So shrewd. But honestly, I can't stop ogling how good looking he was. |

| Wow what a Great backstory from Koito... |
 |
| As a Koito fan this episode was great. Poor guy suffering from survivors guilt :( Loved the chase scene, Golden Kamuy never misses with the wacky scenes. Ikemen Tsurumi tho 😳😳 No wonder he has so many simps as subordinates. |
 |
| Loved the episode. It was nice to find out more about Koito. Tsurumi is one scheming manipulative SOB. I wonder if Koito starts suspecting something... |
| I have no idea wth is going on anymore |
I don't know how signatures work   |
| OH MY GOD! That was so fun! the pursuit with Koito's father and Lieutenant Tsurumi! 5/5! |
 |
| While the episode itself was good, I haven't enjoyed the season as a whole as much as I'd hoped so far. The events of the first four episodes have been pretty disjointed, and we've barely seen our main trio. Hopefully things start to feel more connected soon. |
| "Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34 |
| damn, tsurumi is so cooooool |
 |
| Good and emotionnal story. Otonoshin will be a proud son and a good soldier. |
| the bike jump with the Lt with his head hanging back in glory even as they landed was hilarious. also the leaning and wink, just the whole scene was a masterpiece. |
 |
| So, this whole Russian terrorist thing was a set up conspiracy? |
