Tsurumi's Theatrics are the Highlight of the Second Part! Golden Kamuy: Sapporo Beer Kōjō-hen [Part Two] Stage Greeting Report

The "Theatrical Pre-Release: Anime Golden Kamuy: Sapporo Beer Kōjō-hen" [Part Two] has been playing in theaters since October 31st. A stage greeting for this work, which constitutes the prologue to the TV anime's final chapter set to air from January 2026, was held on November 2nd. A lavish lineup of voice actors graced the stage, including Chikahiro Kobayashi (Saichi Sugimoto), Haruka Shiraishi (Asirpa), Kentarō Itō (Yoshitake Shiraishi, who also served as MC), Jōji Nakata (Toshizō Hijikata), Kenji Nomura (Tatsūma Ushiyama), Eiji Takemoto (Sergeant Tsukishima), and Katsuyuki Konishi (Lieutenant Koito).

The Golden Kamuy TV anime first aired its Season 1 in 2018, and the story that has spanned approximately eight years will reach its conclusion with the final chapter, starting its broadcast in January 2026. Following [Part One], which saw the main characters gather at the Sapporo Beer Factory to engage in fierce battles driven by their own agendas, [Part Two] delves into developments that approach the core of the story.

The stage greeting began with comments from Kobayashi and Shiraishi, who confirmed they had received numerous positive reactions to [Part One]. During a segment where they discussed the highlights of [Part Two] (with a warning about spoilers), Nakata remarked, "The parts that have been mysteries up until now are finally being revealed. It really feels like Golden Kamuy now, doesn't it?" Kobayashi quickly covered, saying, "Oh, you're right, that aspect is definitely there!" causing a momentary flurry of excitement.

Nomura, who was unable to attend the [Part One] stage greeting, was asked by Takemoto which scene the audience should particularly watch out for regarding his character, Ushiyama. Nomura replied, "There's a scene where I come out of a door, and even I wondered how it was going to look." The discussion then shifted to the highlights from the 7th Division camp in [Part Two]. Takemoto commented, "Pay attention to the scene with Koito and Rentarō 'Pirate' Fusatarō," which drew applause from the audience.
