Sugimoto’s group has finally crossed the border and entered Japanese territory, marking the beginning of their new adventures in Golden Kamuy’s season 4.
The season has been going steadily, and adapting every chapter with great accuracy. Unfortunately, the season will be going on an unexpected break for a while.
Golden Kamuy season 4’s production has been halted for a while due to a vital staff member’s untimely demise. The team has released an obituary for them, which states that the staff member passed away on November 1, 2022.
We want to express our deepest condolences and heartfelt prayers.

The announcement also reveals that the staff member was indispensable to the production, making it even more difficult to continue without them. Brains Base studio and the production committee are currently working on overcoming this, delaying the release of further episodes.
As of today, five episodes of the season have been released, and the remaining are delayed until further notice. Episode 5 didn’t leave us with any major cliffhangers, so there won’t be any anxious waiting over what will happen next.
The story has been going on with a mix of excitement and calm. For instance, Sugimoto’s group gets attacked by a sniper on their arrival in Japan, but in the recent episodes, the crew is participating in a documentary film.
That’s right. A French filmmaker Girel is working with a Japanese producer Inaba to film the Ainu people of Toyohara. As expected, these two stumble upon Sugimoto’s group, who become a major part of the movie.
Despite being based on historical events, there’s no way you can predict what will happen next in Golden Kamuy. I feel this is something that makes it different from other stories.
So, if you can’t wait for the episodes, you can always read the manga. It might be a better choice as it concluded in April 2022, and you can finish the whole story in one go.
