How Soon Is the End of the Golden Kamuy Anime?

Season 3 of Golden Kamuy gave us the long-awaited reunion of Sugimoto and Asirpa. However, we can’t celebrate their happy reunion just yet because Season 4 will bring them many severe hardships.

Season 4 begins with the couple crossing the difficult terrains of Russia on their way back to their hometown, while the 7th Division keeps a close eye on them. This season will consist of around 13 episodes and will last one season.

As we see the last remaining arcs of the manga in Season 4, it appears that the anime will end with Season 4. Many fans, though, have dismissed that hypothesis.

Because Season 4 cannot adapt 100+ episodes of content, Golden Kamuy will require another 12 episodes following Season 4. Every arc takes 3-4 episodes, and there are still 5 arcs left even if Season 4 is halfway done, so the release of Season 5 is unavoidable.

Which arcs will be covered in Golden Kamuy Season 4?

The Return to Hokkaido arc kicked off Episode 1 of Golden Kamuy Season 4. It will cover everything from the Pet Monster arc to some of the Boutarou the Pirate arc. Because the anime adapts the arcs in a non-linear fashion, new arcs may be adapted in Season 4.
