In the early 20th century, Russo-Japanese War veteran Saichi Sugimoto embarks on a perilous journey through the rugged wilderness of Hokkaido in search of a hoard of hidden gold. Armed with a cryptic map and the assistance of a native Ainu girl, Saichi must navigate through a treacherous landscape teeming with murderous cutthroats, bandits, and rogues who are aware of the treasure's existence.

After months of relentless pursuit, Saichi finally manages to gather all of the tattooed skins, which hold the key to deciphering the code and locating the Ainu gold. However, his quest takes an unexpected turn when Lieutenant Tsurumi and the 7th Division gain possession of Asirpa, the Ainu girl who knows the location of the treasure. Determined not to lose Asirpa once again, Saichi sets off in pursuit, but he must first confront the formidable Botaro the Pirate.

Meanwhile, Sophia and her partisans have also returned to stake their claim on the gold. As the stakes continue to rise, Hijikata and his men remain in the game, each driven by their insatiable desire to possess the Golden Kamuy. The stage is set for a climactic showdown as Saichi, Tsurumi, Sophia, and Hijikata all converge on the same destination, each with their own motivations and ulterior motives.

In this thrilling tale of high adventure and survival, Saichi Sugimoto must overcome countless obstacles and face off against formidable adversaries to claim his rightful place as the treasure's rightful owner. The Golden Kamuy promises wealth, power, and glory, but it also carries a heavy price, and Saichi must be willing to pay it in full if he wants to emerge victorious.
