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 narrowly escaping a fierce battle with Lieutenant Tsurumis forces at Goryokaku, Sugimoto, along with his comrades Asirpa, Hijikata, and others, boards a train bound for Hakodate. However, their journey takes a shocking turn when the train is discovered to be carrying Tsurumis 7th Division troops. The quest for the gold has transformed into a bloody struggle for the Ainu deed and the fate of Hokkaido and the Ainu people.

As the train barrels towards its destination, Sugimoto and Asirpa prepare for their final confrontation with Tsurumi. This epic tale of survival, death, betrayal, madness, redemption, family, love, and honor reaches its climax in the final volume of Golden Kamuy.
