Ep 4. Spoiled Rich Kid

In Golden Kamuy season 4 episode 4, titled "Spoiled Rich Kid," we see our heroes traveling through the vast wilderness of Hokkaido in their quest for the elusive gold. Along the way, they come across a young nobleman named Oikawa, who is traveling with his manservant and a group of hired guards.

Oikawa's family is one of the wealthiest in Japan, and he has been sent to Hokkaido on a hunting trip. However, his arrogance and entitlement quickly rub our heroes the wrong way, and tensions rise as they continue to travel together.

As they make their way through the forest, they encounter a group of Ainu people, who are a native minority in Hokkaido. The Ainu are suspicious of Oikawa and his group, resentful of the way their land and culture have been exploited and oppressed by the Japanese government. The tension between the Ainu and Oikawa only escalates, with the young nobleman further revealing his disrespectful and selfish personality.

Meanwhile, a new player appears on the scene - the feared Ainu warrior Hijikata Toshizo. Hijikata is a legendary figure who has long been thought to be dead, but rumors have circulated that he is still alive and searching for the gold that our heroes seek.

As the various factions converge on each other, the tension reaches a boiling point, culminating in a dramatic confrontation that will have significant consequences for all involved.

Overall, "Spoiled Rich Kid" showcases the complex themes and character dynamics that make Golden Kamuy such an engaging and thought-provoking series.
