Golden Kamuy leaves the Abashiri battle behind and turns toward Karafuto. The publisher places Asirpa, Shiraishi and Kiroranke on the route north while Sugimoto deals with the consequences of the prison confrontation. Buy this for the change of destination after Abashiri, with the preceding battle already read. A new location does not reset the relationships that send the travelers there; this is an onward journey shaped by what has just happened.

Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.

The publisher sets Asirpa on the road with Kiroranke while identifying his betrayal, and places the wounded Sugimoto in a bargain with Tsurumi. Those two premises give the northern journey a particular buying interest: traveling companions and actual allies are no longer safe equivalents. The location changes, but the reader carries knowledge that the travelers do not necessarily share. Read this as the transition out of the prison operation into a pursuit structured by unequal information. Beginning here would replace those competing loyalties with a list of people heading north.
