Sugimoto and Asirpa Return in Theatrical Prologue Arc

The upcoming theatrical edition of the Sapporo Beer Factory Arc will depict the events immediately following Sugimoto Saichi and Asirpa's return from Karafuto. Reuniting with Yoshitake Shiraishi, the group resumes their search for the elusive gold. Along the way, they ally with the escaped convict Boutarou the Pirate and pursue another convict, Keiji Ueji, leading them to Sapporo. Meanwhile, members of the 7th Division—Private First-Class Usami and Sergeant Major Kikuta—as well as Toshizou Hijikata’s faction are tracking a different escaped prisoner involved in a series of prostitute murders in the area.

Confrontation in Sapporo: New Alliance Forms

As the groups converge in Sapporo, tensions rise between Sugimoto and Hijikata. However, both sides share the goal of preventing the gold from falling into the hands of the 7th Division. This shared interest leads them to form a temporary alliance. After learning that the next murder might take place at the Sapporo Beer Factory, they devise an ambush strategy. The situation escalates further when Usami, Ueji, and others unexpectedly appear at the same location, plunging the scene into chaos.
