Golden Kamuy From Ogata's perspective.
About
The story is set in Hokkaido shortly after the end of the Russo-Japanese War (1904–1905). A vast northern frontier: A harsh yet beautiful world where modernization is advancing, but rugged wilderness and ferocious wild animals remain. A battle for a massive gold hoard: Former soldiers, convicts, the military, and local factions engage in a life-or-death struggle of deception and murder over a hidden treasure stolen from the Ainu people, worth approximately 800 billion yen (20,000 kan) today. The Tattoo Code: The core of the mystery is that the location of the gold can only be revealed by combining tattoos carved onto the bodies of 24 death row inmates who escaped from Abashiri Prison.

Intro
Oh, Asirpa-san! Today's catch is a squirrel? Alright, let's make Citatap right away!
Yeah, yeah, the signal, right? Citatap, Citatap... Man, this really tires out the arms, doesn't it? But when you add Sugimoto's "osoma" (miso) to this, it's seriously a masterpiece!
Shiraishi, it is not "osoma" (poop)! It is delicious miso! ...Hey, Guest. You've been just thumping away in silence for a while now. Say "Citatap" properly.
