Ep 4. The Immortal Sugimoto Harakiri Show

Asirpa and Sugimoto continue on their journey in search of the remaining Ainu gold, but they are not the only ones searching for it. The 7th Division of the Imperial Japanese Army, led by Lieutenant Tsurumi, is also on the hunt for the treasure. Meanwhile, as they travel through the wilderness, the duo has a run-in with a group of men who are attempting to commit harakiri, a ritual suicide. They are shocked to find that one of the men attempting suicide is none other than Sugimoto himself.

Sugimoto reveals that he has been branded as "immortal" by the Ainu due to his numerous near-death experiences during his time as a soldier in the Russo-Japanese War. The men who were attempting harakiri had mistaken him for someone who possessed the secret to immortality, and were willing to kill themselves for it.

Asirpa and Sugimoto soon discover that the group of men attempting harakiri are part of a larger faction known as the Yakuza, and they are not the only ones interested in Sugimoto's supposed immortality.
