Silence (静寂, Shijima) is the 294th chapter of the Golden Kamuy manga.
Synopsis[]
Hijikata is horrified that Toni took a shot for him but Toni continues to fight, firing back at Nikaidou and damaging his helmet. Nikaidou launches another grenade at Hijikata’s Group but they manage to scramble into a hole to avoid the blast. Toni complains about how loud it is as Hijikata’s Group and the 7th Division exchange gunfires with each other before Nikaidou retreats to find Sugimoto. Hijikata tells Toni that he never thought he would take a bullet for him and Toni asks him if it was such a surprise, saying that he would have already died two or three times if it wasn’t for him.
Toni declares that his life is nothing more than an “extra” life that he has been able to live and that he will use it to help Hijikata live even longer. He tells Hijikata to go as he will stay and guard the bridge and Hijikata silently grasps Toni’s shoulder before leaving. Toni then prepares to single-handedly take on the 7th Division soldiers that comes his way so that Hijikata can make his escape. At the east entrance, Tsurumi, Tsukishima, and Koito engages the Russian revolutionaries in combat. As one of the revolutionaries throws a grenade at them, Tsukishima leaps out of the hole and kicks it back at the revolutionary, killing him and earning Tsukishima Tsurumi’s praise.
Koito leads the charge against the revolutionaries and unbeknownst to them, Kantarou hides among the littered corpses of revolutionaries as he spots Tsurumi, with fear on his face. The 7th Division seizes the east entrance and prepares to charge into Fort Goryokaku with fifty men at the ready. Tsurumi orders his soldiers to go and take the north entrance and post men at every entrance so as not to let anyone escape. He then orders Tsukishima and Koito to come with him to search every buildings for the land deed and as Tsurumi enters one of the building, a sense of dread washes over Koito.
Toni continues to fight back against the 7th Division but the sound of grenades exploding rings his eardrum as he complains about how much they hurt. Meanwhile, Hijikata and Sugimoto makes their way through the fort grounds, fighting off every 7th Division soldiers they come across. Toni notices that the loud sound has stopped and that it has gotten quiet as he looks around him. In reality, Toni’s life has finally expired as the soldiers rushes past his lifeless body. As Sugimoto fends off the soldiers, Nikaidou comes charging at him with a flying kick and the gun in his left boot ignites, shooting a pair of bullets through Sugimoto’s cheeks.
