# Where to Watch Golden Kamuy Season 2

**Golden Kamuy Season 2 streams on both Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime Video, continuing one of anime's most unclassifiable adventures — a blood-soaked Hokkaido treasure hunt that's also a survival guide, a war story, and a very strange comedy. Across these 12 episodes, ex-soldier Sugimoto and his Ainu partner Asirpa push deeper into the race for a hidden fortune in gold, with more factions than ever converging on the trail. It's brutal, warm, gross, and genuinely educational, sometimes all in the same scene.**

You've got two legal options in the West: Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime Video both carry Golden Kamuy Season 2. Crunchyroll keeps the series alongside the rest of its catalog, while Prime Video is handy if you already subscribe — either way, watch the first season on the same service first.

## Synopsis

The gold is real, the map is tattooed across the skins of escaped convicts, and half of Hokkaido wants a piece of it. Golden Kamuy's second season widens that scramble. Saichi Sugimoto, a haunted survivor of war nicknamed the Immortal, and Asirpa, the young Ainu hunter whose knowledge of the land keeps them both alive, keep chasing the scattered pieces of the treasure's cipher — but rival hunters, a rogue military faction, and old ghosts of the samurai era are all closing in from different directions. Between the gunfights and the double-crosses, the show keeps making room for what it loves most: Ainu tradition, wilderness survival, wild home-cooked meals, and a partnership between two very different people that quietly becomes the beating heart of the whole thing.
