[00:02] Gu
    We finally found you!
[00:04] Gu
    We've been looking for you since Otaru!
[00:08] Gi
    For me?
[00:11] Gu
    We met an Ainu hunter over
    there and asked them.
[00:17] (Flashback) Gu
    Hey, did you see an Ainu girl?
[00:21] (Flashback) Gi
    She should be with a Japanese
    man with a scar on his face.
[00:26] (Flashback) Gu
    Oh, the one we just saw?
[00:30] Gu
    They were amazed you'd come so far!
[00:34] Gu
    They wanted us to all come
    visit them in their kotan!
[00:37] Gu
    They hunted a bear!
[00:38] Gu
    Let's go, Asirpa!
[00:40] Gi
    Let's go, Sugimoto!
[00:41] Gi
    There's bear stew waiting for us!
[00:43] Gu
    I'd rather hit the local bars
    on Inkarmat-chan's dime!
[00:48] Gu
    No way! Inkarmat is part of my family!
[00:53] Gi
    Family?
[00:54] Gu
    Yeah! She doesn't get mad
    if I touch her boobs,
[00:58] Gu
    and Tanigaki Nispa is her gigolo.
[01:01] Gi
    Correct.
[01:05] Gu
    Why are they here?
[01:09] Gi
    Gigolo...
[01:10] Gu
    No, um...
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
SIGN    Episode Nineteen
    Kamuy Hopunire
[02:57] Gu
    Oh, you found them?
[02:59] Gu
    Welcome!
[03:00] Gu
    The Kamuy Hopunire is about to begin.
[03:03] Gu
    Have a good time.
[03:05] Gi
    Kamuy Hopunire means "The Setting-Off
    of Gods." It's a ceremony.
[03:10] Gi
    They send off the hunted bear.
[03:13] Gi
    It's a different ritual than an iomante,
[03:15] Gi
    where they send off a bear
    that was raised in a cage.
[03:29] Gi
    That shout is called an okokokse.
[03:31] Gi
    It's to tell the god of fire
    that a bear has been hunted.
[03:35] Gi
    The "kamuy" are things that humans can't do,
[03:38] Gi
    things that help us, and things
    that bring us disaster.
[03:43] Gi
    Fire is a critical part of our lives.
[03:45] Gi
    Blades cut cleanly through
    things we can't cut on our own.
[03:49] Gi
    So they have kamuy within them.
[03:50] Gi
    Trees are kamuy that sit on the mountains.
[03:53] Gi
    Bad weather and plagues are
    beyond human power to control,
[03:57] Gi
    so they're kamuy, too.
[03:59] Gi
    But it's not that they're so
    much greater than humanity.
[04:03] Gi
    We think of them as equals.
[04:06] Gi
    We've always believed
    that when we're hunting,
[04:09] Gi
    we don't hit the prey with our arrows,
    but instead the kamuy run into them for us.
[04:14] Gi
    We invite them to our world, and in
    exchange for their meat and pelts,
[04:18] Gi
    they ask for sake and tobacco,
    things that only we can make.
[04:22] Gi
    Then we send off the kamuy
    with a proper ritual,
[04:26] Gi
    so that they'll tell the other kamuy
    that the human world is a good place.
[04:31] Gi
    If we don't treat them properly, they'll
    never come back down to our world.
[04:36] Gi
    After this, the bear's head will be taken
    to an outdoor altar decorated with inaw.
[04:42] Gi
    Inaw are shaven wood sticks that
    are given to the kamuy as a gift.
[04:48] Gi
    When a kamuy has many inaw,
    its status in its own world grows.
[04:53] Gi
    It's said the inaw we give it
    transform into silver and gold,
[04:56] Gi
    and become valuable treasures for it to keep.
[04:59] Gu
    So even in the afterlife gold is valuable,
[05:02] Gu
    and if you have lots of it,
     you'll be happy, huh?
[05:32] Gi
    What's that cironnup thinking?
[05:35] Gu
    Asirpa...
[05:37] Gu
    I have something important to tell you.
[05:40] Gu
    I've come here to tell you about Huci.
[05:59] Gi
    Huci...
[06:03] Gu
    You came all the way from Otaru to
    tell her that, Private Tanigaki?
[06:08] Gu
    Private Ogata...
[06:10] Gu
    Lt. Tsurumi actually sent
    you here to watch me, right?
[06:15] Gu
    No... I'm done with the army.
[06:18] Gu
    That old lady helped me, so I'm
    bringing her granddaughter back safe.
[06:22] Gu
    That's my job.
[06:24] Gu
    I don't know if I believe you.
[06:26] Gu
    You were a fervent believer in Lt. Tsurumi.
    You killed three men in the mountains.
[06:33] Gu
    In the mountains?
[06:34] Gu
    You mean the three who were with Tanigaki?
[06:37] Gu
    It was a bear that killed them.
[06:40] Gu
    I was there. So I know for sure.
[06:44] Gu
    A bear?
[06:47] Gu
    The old lady had a dream where she
    never saw her granddaughter again?
[06:52] Gu
    It's just a dream.
[06:53] Gu
    Send a damn letter.
[06:56] Gi
    We Ainu have always believed that dreams
    are something the kamuy send when
[07:01] Gi
    they have something to show us.
[07:03] Gi
    I don't believe that, but Huci
     is one of the old Ainu.
[07:08] Gi
    And she once had a dream a long time ago...
[07:14] Gi
    In the dream, her daughter
    was surrounded by bears,
[07:18] Gi
    sending her off to the next world.
[07:21] Gi
    Soon after that my mother got
    sick and died, she told me.
[07:27] Gi
    That's why she believes
    in dreams so fervently.
[07:31] Gu
    Asirpa-san, do you want to just head back?
[07:35] Gu
    If she sees your face even once,
[07:36] Gu
    it makes her dream no
    longer a prophecy, right?
[07:41] Gu
    She'll feel better.
[07:45] Gu
    You don't have to force
    yourself to stay here.
[07:51] Gi
    Don't treat me like a child, Sugimoto.
[07:53] Gi
    There's something I want
    to know, no matter what.
[07:57] Gi
    I'm going to learn what I need to know,
    and go forward for the sake of my own dream.
[08:21] Gi
    Hey, Tanigaki Nispa.
[08:23] Gi
    I've been wondering about that Murata gun.
[08:26] Gi
    Did that belong to Nihei Tetsuzou?
[08:29] Gi
    You knew Nihei?
[08:31] Gi
    We hunted bears together over a decade ago.
[08:35] Gi
    He was so good at it, I thought there
    wouldn't be any bears left in the area.
[08:41] Gi
    Nihei died in the mountains.
[08:43] Gi
    I took the gun from his body.
[08:45] Gi
    I see.
[08:47] Gi
    But you must have a hard time
    using an old gun like that.
[08:51] Gi
    Nihei Tetsuzou turned me from
    a soldier back into a Matagi.
[08:56] Gi
    I decided to carry it, so I don't forgot
    how to feel when I shoot my prey.
[09:02] Gi
    "Always end the battle in one bullet"?
[09:08] Gi
    See those seven small marks on the barrel?
[09:13] Gi
    Nihei told me what they meant.
[09:17] (Flashback) Gi
    I've got a lot of kids, but only one son.
[09:23] (Flashback) Gi
    This is the gun he used in
    the first Sino-Japanese War.
[09:27] (Flashback) Gi
    A friend of his gave it to me,
[09:29] (Flashback) Gi
    and told me that each mark on the barrel
    was added when he shot an enemy.
[09:35] (Flashback) Gi
    Maybe he just stopped
    counting after the seventh,
[09:38] (Flashback) Gi
    or maybe he died after.
[09:41] (Flashback) Gi
    Either way, he wasn't the sort of person
    who would enjoy shooting people.
[09:44] (Flashback) Gi
    But the sort of wimp who'd feel
    guilt after killing someone
[09:48] (Flashback) Gi
    has no business being a soldier.
[09:50] (Flashback) Gi
    He should've stayed home
    and shot bears with me.
[10:02] Gi
    I-Is that you, Ryu?
[10:08] Gi
    Ryu?!
[10:09] Gi
    It's Ryu!
[10:12] Gi
    What's Nihei's dog doing here?
[10:15] Gi
    Did you bring him?
[10:17] Gi
    No...
[10:20] Gi
    Ryu, were you...
[10:23] Gi
    Were you following Tanigaki the whole time,
    since he had Nihei's gun?!
[10:37] Gi
    You're such a great dog.
[10:39] Gi
    Ow, ow, ow, ow!
[10:44] Gi
    That hurt, you stupid animal!
[10:45] Gi
    Get lost!
[10:47] Gi
    Ryu's a loyal dog.
[10:48] Gi
    He won't forget an enemy of his master.
[11:02] Gi
    What will you do now, Tanigaki?
[11:06] Gi
    I'll follow you until
    Asirpa achieves her goal.
[11:11] Gi
    I see.
[11:13] Gi
    Asirpa, once we get to town,
    I'll send a telegram to Huci.
[11:18] Gi
    Okay!
[11:21] Gi
    All right, off to Abashiri we go, Asirpa-san!
[11:27] Gi
    Right!
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[11:40] Gi
    Lt. Tsurumi will scold me!
[11:42] Gi
    When he heard I let Shiraishi
    Yoshitake get away,
[11:45] Gi
    he must've been really upset!
[11:47] Gi
    How did he look?
[11:50] Gi
    Sergeant Tsukishima, did Lt. Tsurumi
     say anything about me?
[11:57] Gi
    You don't need to tell me!
    I know, Tsukishima!
[12:00] Gi
    I'm...
[12:02] Gi
    I'm going to be sent to Abashiri
    to watch Inudou Shirosuke!
[12:08] Gi
    Second Lt. Koito, calm down.
[12:10] Gi
    See? I brought the photos you asked for.
[12:15] Gi
    These are great, Tsukishima!
[12:19] Gi
    There's no scar on his face,
    so this must have been taken
[12:21] Gi
    before the Battle of Mukden!
[12:26] Gi
    I'm jealous of you, Sergeant Tsukishima.
[12:30] Gi
    If I'd only been born a little earlier,
     I could've fought with him.
[12:39] Gi
    This is perfect!
[12:41] Gi
    Tsukishima, crush up some
    rice to use as glue!
[12:45] Gi
    No.
[12:47] Gi
    I didn't know you were here, Second Lt. Koito!
[12:52] Gi
    Hey.
[12:54] Gi
    Sunmohan! Oiga toborenkatta de Shiraishi
    wo hinnigashite shimaimashita!
[12:58] Gi
    Jaddon irezumi dake wa
    jizen ni utsuchoimoshita.
[13:00] Gi
    Jacchiten yurusarui wake ja aimohandon!
[13:02] Gi
    Calm down.
[13:04] Gi
    I can't make out high-speed Satsuma dialect.
[13:07] Gi
    Deep breaths.
[13:11] Gi
    Hinnigashite shimaimoshita don shiraishin
    irezumi ha utsuchichoimoshita.
[13:15] Gi
    I don't understand you!
[13:16] Gi
    Tsukishima!
[13:17] Gi
    Tell him Shiraishi got away,
     but I made a copy of his tattoos.
[13:23] Gi
    He says he made a copy
    of Shiraishi's tattoos.
[13:25] Gi
    Why am I the only one who gets the
    high-speed Satsuma dialect, Second Lt. Koito?
[13:30] Gi
    I ordered you not to kill Shiraishi
    because I thought he had value.
[13:35] Gi
    And you let him fall into enemy hands...
[13:39] Gi
    I'm disappointed in you, Second Lt. Koito.
[13:56] Gi
    That looks great on you!
[13:58] Gi
    That's the skin of the prisoner who
    was pretending to be Inudou, right?
[14:01] Gi
    This is an unexpected bonus.
[14:04] Gi
    From what we've learned,
[14:06] Gi
    it's safe to assume these tattoos belonged
    to the con artist Suzukawa Kiyohiro.
[14:11] Gi
    Well done, Second Lt. Koito.
[14:14] Gi
    But...
[14:16] Gi
    The lines aren't quite right.
[14:19] Gi
    Sunmohan! Sunmohan!
[14:21] Gi
    That's what I'm talking
    about, Second Lt. Koito.
[14:21] Gi
    Sunmohan! Sunmohan!
[14:25] Gi
    You're off the Asahikawa mission.
[14:31] Gi
    From now on...
[14:34] Gi
    You're helping me hunt the other prisoners.
[14:45] Gi
    He says, "I'll do my best."
[14:49] Gi
    This is such a pain.
[14:51] Gi
    You're sure it was Ogata Hyakunosuke
    who was aboard the airship
[14:56] Gi
    with Shiraishi and Sugimoto, right?
[15:00] Gi
    "Yes."
[15:02] Gi
    "He disgraces the noble suicide
    of Ogata's father Hanazawa Koujirou,
[15:05] Gi
    the former commander of the 7th Division."
[15:10] Gi
    "Even my father feels strong distrust
    towards central command for the way
[15:14] Gi
    they blamed Lt. General Hanazawa's
    suicide on the 7th Division."
[15:19] Gi
    "So what is Ogata thinking?"
[15:21] Gi
    Second Lt. Koito's father was,
    like Lt. General Hanazawa, born in Satsuma,
[15:26] Gi
    and they were both friends. Is that correct?
[15:30] Gi
    The cause of the suicide was central
    command placing the full blame
[15:33] Gi
    for the high casualties on 203 Hill
    at Lt. General Hanazawa's feet.
[15:38] Gi
    I believed that, of course,
    Ogata Hyakunosuke would fight for
[15:42] Gi
    his father's honor and for
    the 7th division, but...
[15:52] (Flashback) Gi
    At the time, my father was a Lt. Colonel
    in the 1st Imperial Guard Regiment.
[15:59] (Flashback) Gi
    Given his position,
[16:00] (Flashback) Gi
    he must've been rather irritated to
    have an Asakusa geisha bear his child.
[16:06] (Flashback) Gi
    When a son was born to his wife,
[16:09] (Flashback) Gi
    my grandmother told me he
    stopped coming entirely.
[16:14] (Flashback) Gi
    My grandmother took my mother
    and me, when I was still a baby,
[16:17] (Flashback) Gi
    back to her home in Ibaraki.
[16:20] (Flashback) Gi
    My mother used to make monkfish stew.
[16:23] (Flashback) Gi
    Fugu in the west and monkfish
    in the east, they'd say.
[16:27] (Flashback) Gi
    It was a local dish for the lower classes.
[16:29] (Flashback) Gi
    I liked it. I ate it a lot.
[16:32] (Flashback) Gi
    But I ate it every day.
[16:36] (Flashback) Gi
    In the winter, every day, my mom...
[16:42] (Flashback) Gi
    ...would try to make monkfish stew.
[16:45] (Flashback) Gi
    My father said he liked it, so she
    thought he might come back to eat it.
[16:50] (Flashback) Gi
    Every single day...
[16:54] (Flashback) Gi
    She'd gone crazy.
[17:01] (Flashback) Gi
    I took an old gun my grandfather had
    out to the field and shot a bird.
[17:11] (Flashback) Gi
    I thought that if I brought it home,
    my mom might not make monkfish stew.
[17:18] (Flashback) Gi
    But no matter how many birds I hunted,
    she kept making monkfish stew.
[17:26] (Flashback) Gi
    That's why I...
[17:29] (Flashback) Gi
    When my grandparents were gone,
[17:32] (Flashback) Gi
    I put rat poison into the
    monkfish stew and fed it to her.
[17:40] (Flashback) Gi
    If my father had any love left for my mother,
     he would come to the funeral, I thought.
[17:47] (Flashback) Gi
    In the end, she would see the man she loved.
[17:55] (Flashback) Gi
    But...
[17:59] (Flashback) Gi
    You never came.
[18:01] (Flashback) Gi
    Don't tell me this is out of
    hatred for me abandoning you?
[18:08] (Flashback) Gi
    You took pity on your insane mother,
[18:11] (Flashback) Gi
    but you were sick of her, too.
[18:14] (Flashback) Gi
    Just like me!
[18:17] (Flashback) Gi
    Children don't get to pick their parents.
[18:21] (Flashback) Gi
    "Love" is as vague a concept as "God."
[18:26] (Flashback) Gi
    But if you did have any love for my mother,
     you wouldn't have abandoned her.
[18:32] (Flashback) Gi
    Perhaps a child born between
    parents that lack love...
[18:37] (Flashback) Gi
    ...comes out missing something.
[18:41] (Flashback) Gi
    No matter how great his
    father's bloodline is.
[18:45] (Flashback) Gi
    The fact that Second Lt. Hanazawa Yuusaku,
[18:49] (Flashback) Gi
    the child you had with your wife,
    is a nobleman proves that.
[18:56] (Flashback) Gi
    I only met him after I joined the military,
[18:58] (Flashback) Gi
    and I didn't know how to react.
[19:00] (Flashback) Gi
    He called me "big brother," no matter
    how many times I told him he outranked me.
[19:07] (Flashback) Gi
    He never left me alone. He said he'd
    grown up always wanting a brother.
[19:14] (Flashback) Gi
    That innocent smile...
[19:19] (Flashback) Gi
    It made me realize that this was a boy...
[19:24] (Flashback) Gi
    ...who'd grown up beloved by his parents.
[19:27] (Flashback) Gi
    By the way, his father would've
    had no way to know the truth
[19:34] (Flashback) Gi
    about how Second Lt. Hanazawa Yuusaku
    really died at Hill 203.
[19:46] (Flashback) Gi
    I shot him in the back of the head.
[19:51] (Flashback) Gi
    Not out of any jealousy toward him,
[19:54] (Flashback) Gi
    or even really a desire
    to make his father suffer.
[19:59] (Flashback) Gi
    I just wanted to see something...
[20:03] (Flashback) Gi
    When he heard of Yuusaku-san's death,
    would the father think of me,
[20:11] (Flashback) Gi
    or perhaps suddenly care much more for
    the other son he had with his mistress?
[20:21] (Flashback) Gi
    Was there ever a chance
    for me to be happy, too?
[20:34] (Flashback) Gi
    You're right...
[20:37] (Flashback) Gi
    You're missing something.
    You're a failure of a son!
[20:43] (Flashback) Gi
    A curse upon you!
[21:08] (Flashback) Gi
    The brass will make the 7th take
    responsibility for his suicide.
[21:14] (Flashback) Gi
    It will be a difficult time
    for us, but you must endure.
[21:19] (Flashback) Gi
    With an external enemy, the 7th
    will come together even more!
[21:24] (Flashback) Gi
    The 7th will make the only surviving son
    of Lt. General Hanazawa into a hero.
[21:30] (Flashback) Gi
    They'll see in you the god of war they lost!
[21:34] (Flashback) Gi
    Well done, Ogata Hyakunosuke.
[21:41] (Flashback) Gi
    Well done.
[21:46] Gi
    Goddamn seducer.
