VerifiedMuch like episode five, this one is mostly without action scenes, but fear not: it's time for Tsurumi's big speech to shine (and a nice amount of gore). I'm enjoying these slower moments, helping some larger story pieces to settle properly.

VerifiedWell that was really gruesome, never expected a flashback\lore dump episode to actually be this disturbing but here we are. The overarching theme here is that as long as greed exist in hearts of men, it will always corrupt them no matter how good their intentions are, good stuff.

VerifiedBy far one of the best episodes this season. That was such a heavy lore drop and it explained so many things at once. Definitely a standout episode.
sandaime
VerifiedOh dang. This episode basically dropped the lore. The pacing was perfect and the tension kept building the whole time. It’s the kind of episode you just can’t look away from.

VerifiedWhat the heck… dropping truth bombs like that. The dialogue was really strong, and the pacing made every reveal hit even harder. Such a great episode overall.

VerifiedThose little subtle confrontations? OMG, I was like “wait wait wait!” My heart! 💔
nekokurarisu
VerifiedThe suspense is unreal. I was literally leaning forward the entire episode T_T
crybabytodoroki
VerifiedI can feel the past catching up with everyone 😭. Even small hints of backstory made me emotional.

VerifiedTsurumi's mask finally slipping and showing his real motivations after SEASONS of buildup is incredible payoff. The way different characters interpret his speech completely differently based on their own values is such smart writing. Golden Kamuy gets character drama.

VerifiedThe framing device of Asirpa, Sofia, Koito, and Tsukishima each interpreting Tsurumi's speech through their own ideological lens is a microcosm of Golden Kamuy's masterful character-driven writing. Every reaction tells you everything about that character. Peak storytelling.

VerifiedEVERYONE HEARING THE SAME TSURUMI SPEECH BUT HAVING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT REACTIONS BASED ON WHO THEY ARE IS GENIUS WRITING. Asirpa sees through him while Koito still trusts him and it HURTS. The character work in this show is unparalleled. Noda is a genius.
mustardsprinkles
VerifiedA dialogue heavy episode with minimal animation, but intense emotional beats. The conflict between character visions of the future adds real tragic weight.

VerifiedWe finally get to see cracks in Tsurumi, which is extremely impactful. The way different characters respond to the same moment based on their own baggage was almost jarring and true to their respective characters.
b4kasamaaaaa
VerifiedThe art design and the animations in this episode are so on point with the narrative, the tension and the atmosphere. Everything is going so well then Koito does the thing-
Because of that alone, the entire episode became 10x better

VerifiedI can't with their facial expressions 😭 this was supposed to be a serious episode but I lol-ed so hard in those moments. That's what they do best in this anime. 11/10
uncultured_bovine
VerifiedBrain explosion episode. Everything makes so much sense now. Time flew by so fast and before you knew it, the episode already ended. The way they delivered this is top-tier!

Episode 6 is about loyalties being tested without anyone breaking yet. Tsukishima is rattled, Koito remains wilfully blind, and Tsurumi walks the line between exposure and control.

Tsurumi laying everything out like that was so good. What we waited so long to hear is finally out. Asirpa's reaction was gut wrenching, after hearing of her father's and Sofia's involvement. Even if the gold caused all this, I still don't think it's wise to let go at this point.

Its hard for me to not to spoil but ill do my best to not.
so for this episode is very intense. Lt. Tsurumi revealed his relation to Asirpa's father and his intent but i have still have doubts to Lt. Tsurumi that he just said to Asirpa. Can't wait for the next Episode.
