ゴールデンカムイ [Golden Kamui] #29
Golden Kamuy, Vol. 29
A tale of high adventure and survival!
In the early twentieth century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi Sugimoto searches the wilderness of Hokkaido for a hoard of hidden gold. With only a cryptic map and a native Ainu girl to help him, Saichi must also deal with every murderous cutthroat, bandit and rogue who knows about the treasure!
The coded tattooed skins have at last led everyone to the old fortress of Goryokaku, on the outskirts of Hakodate. Sugimoto’s and Hijikata’s groups get there first and race against time to find the hidden treasure before Lieutenant Tsurumi arrives with his forces. But is the gold really there? Did Wilk and his Ainu conspirators conceal something even more valuable all those years ago? What is the true legacy that Wilk left to Asirpa? The only answer that is certain is that the Battle of Hakodate is about to be fought once again!

This volume was okay. It’s suspenseful, yes, but it doesn’t quite pack the gut-punch of the previous volume. More of a calm-before-the-storm kind of affair, with everyone moving into position for what’s sure to be a spectacularly bloody conclusion.
Both teams finally arrive at Goryokaku, and what they actually find there is… well, not what they were expecting. It’s a twist, certainly, though one that makes perfect sense given the chaos of the time period. Meanwhile, we get a glimpse into Hijikata’s past, which, frankly, only confirms what we already knew, that he was absurdly cool and fine back then.
Tsurumi remains a walking disaster waiting to happen, a polished, well-dressed explosion just itching for the right moment to go off, though, frankly, it’s unclear if he was ever not mid-detonation. At this stage, he’s less of a man with a plan and more of a storm with a really good memory, careening wildly but somehow always landing exactly where he wants to be.
I can’t help but hope Koito and Tsukishima jump ship before it’s too late. They’ve been led to believe that Tsurumi’s grand plan is for the good of the country, but it’s getting harder and harder to ignore the fact that it’s really just revenge and for the good of Tsurumi. And considering how things tend to go for people who get too close to Tsurumi’s orbit, I’d really rather they figure this out sooner rather than later.
This volume does its job. It sets the stage, moves the players into position, and leaves just enough unresolved tension to make the next one unmissable.

All the intense happenings of this volume have me staring at the ceiling in contemplation. So much work and now we’re reaping the rewards, but obviously they will not come without a cost. So I’m still very nervous about what will come next!
Really loved the momentum of this volume though, the fights and discussions flowed in a great way. Felt like I was being yanked along with them as they kept discovering things! Asirpa’s got some heavy choices to make now.

un tomo intenso.
Las cartas para la batalla están sobre la mesa. Pasado y futuro se juntan para, una vez encontrado el oro, defenderlo a toda costa. La verdadera lucha acaba de empezar: ¿cómo acabará esto? ¡No puedo esperar!
Ogata ha salido en dos viñetas le quiero mucho....also vasily my little meow meow

Great volume! Love the Hijikata bits, very well done flashbacks overall. The Ainu collecting and hiding the gold was shown intermingled with the main timeline in a quite effective way.
Feeling the shadow of death hover over many characters, but this volume proves that the ends of storylines and people (be it good or bad) is going to be handled well.

Sugimoto, Asirpa, and Hijikata's group have made a beeline to the Goryokaku star fort in Hakodate, following the last leads to where the Ainu treasure is buried. But Lt. Tsurumi is hot on their heels and everything is headed toward an explosive conclusion.
But we've got two more books and I can't wait to read them!
This series has 31 volumes.

Everything has been set up so well for the ending and it's really delivering so far. Stakes as high as ever and still able to deliver some wil twists and suprises.

杉元とアシリパちゃんが足りない

終於看清楚整條時間線了（雖然阿席莉帕與杉元相遇後又過了多久不太確定）
威魯克一定是在1891年之後才結婚生子，而且兩人至少一起相處了有段時間，七名愛奴人殺人事件應該是在1902年左右⋯⋯那這樣1907年主角兩初相遇的時候，阿席莉帕最多也才15歲…？突然覺得年紀好像還可以？
各種時期角色們之間的相遇也漸漸補齊了，黃金也終於找到了，接下來就看這場戰役最後由誰勝出⋯⋯

And we're in the end game. This is peak storytelling, and there are still 2 volumes left. I'm so looking forward to seeing what happens next.

In diesem Band wird die Verbindung von Hijikata zu den Ainu aufgezeigt. Tsurumi wird unachtsam und scheut keine Opfer, um seinen Ziel näher zu kommen.
