[00:05] No
    I wasn't the one who killed the Ainu.
[00:10] No
    Tell Asirpa that.
[00:12] No
    The gold—
[00:27] Tsukishima
    Sugimoto!
[00:43] Tsukishima
    We're here.
[00:58] S
    Karafuto...
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
SIGN    Odomari
[01:12] Tanigaki
    It's about 40 kilometers from
    the northern most point in Hokkaido.
[01:16] Tanigaki
    And we got here in an instant.
[01:18] S
    It's a little smaller than Hokkaido, right?
SIGN    Karafuto
[01:22] Narr
    After the Russo-Japanese War,
[01:24] Narr
    southern Karafuto became Japanese territory.
SIGN    Japanese Territory
SIGN    Russian Territory
[01:28] Narr
    At the time,
[01:29] Narr
    in addition to the fishers who'd
    lived here since it was Russian territory,
SIGN    Southern Karafuto
[01:32] Narr
    around 12,000 Japanese had moved into
    the area to develop it into farmland.
SIGN    Odomari
[01:40] Tanigaki
    Odomari is the entrance to Karafuto.
[01:43] Tanigaki
    If Kiroranke and his friends came here,
[01:45] Tanigaki
    they likely landed in this city.
[01:50] Tsukishima
    Lieutenant Koito, we can't carry all of this.
[01:54] Tsukishima
    Leave it.
[01:55] Koito
    This is the bare minimum!
[02:00] Koito
    Who are these filthy things?
[02:02] Tanigaki
    Cikapasi!
[02:03] Tsukishima
    The kid Tanigaki had with him?
[02:06] Tsukishima
    Put him aboard a ship heading
    to Hokkaido and send him back.
[02:10] Cikapasi
    There's no home for me in Hokkaido.
[02:17] Tsukishima
    I'm not playing babysitter anymore.
[02:21] S
    He's helped me many times.
[02:25] S
    Let's take them.
[02:27] Tanigaki
    There are Ainu in Karafuto, they say.
[02:29] Tanigaki
    They may be more inclined to trust us
    when we ask questions if he's here.
[02:38] Tsukishima
    You take responsibility for them.
[02:41] S
    Okay, let's start asking questions.

[02:46] S
    Have you seen the girl in this photo?
[02:49] Man
    Wow, cute.
[02:52] Man
    Huh? Isn't that them?
[02:55] S
    No way!
[02:58] S
    Wait. Wrong photo.
[03:01] S
    Was Inkarmat's info right?
[03:05] S
    Is Asirpa-san really here in Karafuto?
[03:12] Tanigaki
    In Hokkaido, it wouldn't be
    snowing for another month.
[03:16] S
    Karafuto's crazy.
[03:18] Tanigaki
    Lieutenant Koito's gone.
SIGN    Hurep Wines
[03:21] Woman
    You don't know about hurep, Mr. Soldier?
[03:24] Woman
    It's lingonberry!
[03:26] Woman
    The swamps here are covered
    with lingonberries in summer.
[03:29] Woman
    Hurep wine is a Karafuto specialty.
[03:34] Tsukishima
    Lt. Koito, don't wander off on your own.
[03:38] Koito
    It's got a great sweet-and-sour taste.
[03:40] Koito
    Try some, Sergeant Tsukishima.
[03:42] S
    We're not here as tourists, brat.
[03:44] S
    Don't put your fun ahead of our job.
[03:47] Woman
    Don't let it get on your clothes.
[03:49] Woman
    Hurep red doesn't wash out.
[03:53] Koito
    Oh. I see.
[03:59] Tanigaki
    Calm down, Sugimoto.
[04:01] S
    Can I have a glass, too, miss?
SIGN    Hurep Wines
[04:11] Koito
    Sugimoto, you ass! What was that for?
[04:14] Woman
    Another Ainu child I've never seen before.
[04:17] Woman
    You're the second one today.
[04:19] S
    Tell me more—
[04:21] Woman
    There's an old Ainu man who always
    comes to town to sell his fish.
[04:26] Woman
    There was a girl on the back of his
    sled that I'd never seen before.
[04:30] S
    W-Was this her?
[04:32] Woman
    Not quite.
[04:34] S
    Was this her?
[04:35] Woman
    Yes, that was her!
[04:38] S
    Really? You're sure?
[04:40] Woman
    Yes.
[04:42] Woman
    They just left for the Ainu village.
SIGN    Hurep Wines
[04:46] S
    She is here!
[04:48] S
    Asirpa-san is here in Karafuto!
[04:57] Tsukishima
    The village where the old Ainu man lives
    is several kilometers up this way.
SIGN    Hello.
[05:03] S
    Wow, he can speak Russian?
SIGN    Really?
SIGN    Yes, I'm sure.
[05:08] Tsukishima
    Let's go!
[05:11] Tsukishima
    He says he just saw the Ainu girl!
[05:14] Tsukishima
    He tried to stop her because she
    was going into the forest alone,
[05:17] Tsukishima
    but lost her.
[05:19] Tsukishima
    The bears aren't in hibernation yet.
[05:22] Tsukishima
    And he said that this time of year,
[05:24] Tsukishima
    there are animals more dangerous
    than bears in this forest.
[05:28] Koito
    What kind of animal is that?
[05:31] S
    Asirpa-san?
[05:33] Tanigaki
    A child's footprints.
[05:35] Tanigaki
    This way.
[05:59] S
    It's not Asirpa-san.
[06:01] Tsukishima
    A Karafuto Ainu girl?
[06:04] Tsukishima
    That hurep seller led us on a wild goose chase.
[06:07] Tsukishima
    Well, I guess it's hard for
    Japanese to tell Ainu apart.
[06:10] C
    Why are you alone?
[06:12] Girl
    Henke hears bad.
[06:15] Girl
    I fall from nuso.
[06:17] Girl
    I go back to kukotanuhu.
[06:19] Girl
    My kukotanuhu is right this way!
[06:22] Koike
    She fell off her sled,
[06:23] Koike
    but her grandpa can't hear
    her and left her behind.
[06:26] Koike
    So she took a shortcut through the forest.
[06:29] Girl
    Are you a Hokkaido Ainu?
[06:31] Girl
    I met an Ainu girl who came from Hokkaido.
[06:35] S
    Wait, was that girl...
[06:41] Tsukishima
    Get the kids back.
[06:46] Tsukishima
    Something's wrong.
[06:47] S
    It's bleeding!
[06:49] S
    Is it hurt?
[06:57] S
    Did that attack a bear?
[07:00] Tsukishima
    Get away, Lieutenant Koito.
[07:02] Koito
    Is that what you were saying
    was more dangerous than a bear?
[07:06] Koito
    Looks kinda weak to me.
[07:08] Koito
    It's got cute round eyes!
[07:11] S
    Ryu recognizes it.
[07:17] Narr
    The wolverine.
[07:18] Narr
    The largest and most dangerous
    member of the Mustelidae family.
[07:21] Narr
    Locals say it scares them more than
    bears because of its fierce nature.
[07:26] Koito
    Damn it!
[07:32] S
    It's fast!
[07:38] S
    Well done, Cikapasi!
[07:41] S
    Take care of her!
[07:43] S
    She's got info on Asirpa-san!
[07:46] S
    I'm going to throw it!
[07:47] Tsukishima
    Okay!
[07:55] S
    Did we get it?
[07:56] Tsukishima
    I don't know.
[07:57] Tsukishima
    Just run!
[07:58] Tsukishima
    Let's go!
[08:03] Koito
    It's coming, damn it!
[08:07] Tsukishima
    Shoot! It'll catch up!
[08:11] S
    I can't hit it!
[08:14] Henke
    Enonoka!
[08:20] Enonoka
    Henke!
[08:26] Tsukishima
    Get on, Sugimoto!
[08:34] Henke
    Toh! Toh! To!
[08:36] Henke
    Toh! Toh! To!
[08:41] ---
    Looks like it gave up.
[08:43] Henke
    Paase!
[08:45] Enonoka
    He says it's too heavy!
[08:47] Enonoka
    You'll exhaust the dogs.
[08:48] Koito
    Private Tanigaki, this is your fault.
[08:52] Koito
    You've gotten fat as a sow.
[08:55] S
    That's right.
[08:57] S
    You're too fat.
[08:59] Koito
    Run to work off the weight, Private Tanigaki!
SIGN    Abashiri
[09:07] Usami
    There's no sign of Hijikata's forces.
[09:10] Usami
    Nor their corpses.
[09:13] Tsurumi
    No surprise there.
[09:15] Tsurumi
    He's a tough old man.
[09:17] Tsurumi
    There's no hurry.
[09:20] Tsurumi
    He'll show up again eventually.
[09:33] Hijikata
    Nagakura?
[09:34] Nakakura
    I'm glad you're safe.
[09:36] Nakakura
    I've been watching the chapel daily,
    thinking that if he was alive,
[09:41] Nakakura
    Nopperabo may have been hidden here.
[09:45] Hijikata
    We have information on the prisoners.
[09:47] Hijikata
    We're heading to Kushiro.
[09:49] Hijikata
    Let's go, Nagakura.
[09:53] Kadokura
    The prisoners and guards are all dead.
[09:59] Kadokura
    Did we have to do all this
    just to get some gold?
[10:04] Hijikata
    It's not the gold we want.
[10:06] Hijikata
    It's what lies beyond it.
[10:10] Hijikata
    They are no different.
[10:14] Hijikata
    Everybody believes what they're doing is right.
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[10:22] Narr
    There are three major Ainu groups:
SIGN    Hokkaido Ainu
SIGN    Karafuto Ainu
SIGN    Chishima
     Ainu
[10:26] Narr
    the Chishima Ainu,
[10:27] Narr
    the Hokkaido Ainu,
[10:29] Narr
    and the Karafuto Ainu.
[10:31] Narr
    At the time, the Karafuto Ainu lived along
    the rivers and coast of southern Karafuto,
[10:37] Narr
    making their living mostly by fishing.
[10:49] Enonoka
    Henke and I live here.
[10:53] Enonoka
    But this is our summer home.
[10:55] Enonoka
    When we get cold we go to
    the winter home, over there.
[11:00] S
    Karafuto Ainu have two houses?
[11:02] Enonoka
    This is our winter home.
[11:04] S
    Karafuto is even further north than Hokkaido.
[11:09] S
    The Ainu who lived here created their own
[11:14] S
    unique way of living,
    to adapt to its extreme cold.
[11:19] Koito
    I-It stinks!
[11:21] Koito
    What are you putting on me?
[11:23] Tsukishima
    Bear fat is good for wounds.
[11:26] Enonoka
    Thanks for saving me.
[11:28] Enonoka
    What's your name?
[11:29] C
    I'm Cikapasi!
[11:31] C
    It means "when you get a boner!"
[11:33] Enonoka
    Boner?
[11:35] C
    I'm Enonoka! It means "hurep"!
[11:38] C
    I got it because I ate a bunch
    of hurep and barfed it all up!
[11:43] S
    There was nothing else you did
    that could make for a good name?
[11:46] Enonoka
    The Hokkaido Ainu girl ate
    hurep at our home, too.
[11:53] Enonoka
    Yes.
[11:54] Enonoka
    This girl!
[11:56] S
    Were there any men with her?
[11:59] Enonoka
    Three.
[12:01] S
    Was he one of them?
[12:05] Enonoka
    He was.
[12:07] Enonoka
    They said they were going north.
[12:11] Tsukishima
    North...
[12:15] S
    How did the girl seem to you?
[12:17] S
    Was she well?
[12:18] Enonoka
    No. Very sad.
[12:22] Enonoka
    She didn't say a word.
[12:25] Enonoka
    But she ate the salted hurep.
[12:34] S
    It's salty... and sour... and sweet.
[12:38] Enonoka
    Eating a lot of hurep cheered her up!
[12:42] Enonoka
    She smiled a lot. And said, "Hinna!"
[12:47] S
    That's her. I'm sure that's Asirpa-san.
[12:51] S
    She was here in this village.
[12:54] S
    She did come to Karafuto!
[12:57] Enonoka
    He says the Ainu girl and the men with her
[12:59] Enonoka
    were asking about the Russian
    village beyond ours.
[13:17] S
    What are they doing?
[13:19] Tsukishima
    Negotiating pay.
[13:21] Tsukishima
    Lieutenant Koito doesn't want to walk,
[13:23] Tsukishima
    so he's negotiating with Enonoka's
    grandpa to get a ride.
[13:27] S
    She's got an abacus out.
[13:30] S
    She's really mature for a kid her age.
[13:33] C
    Is it a dick? No, it's boobs!
[13:48] Enonoka
    Turn left. Stick the left kawre down!
[13:58] C
    Toh! Toh! To!
[14:01] S
    What do you say to stop?
[14:03] Enonoka
    Pera!
[14:08] Tsukishima
    That's the only tavern in the village.
[14:11] Tsukishima
    Don't let your guard down because
    the village seems peaceful.
[14:14] Tsukishima
    There were several Russian
    prisons in southern Karafuto.
[14:18] Tsukishima
    But all of them closed when
    Japan took over after the
[14:20] Tsukishima
    Russo-Japanese War.
[14:22] Tsukishima
    Where do you think those prisoners went?
[14:25] Tsukishima
    Most of them ran when the
    Japanese army arrived.
SIGN    Have you seen this man?
SIGN    No.
SIGN    What about the rest of you?
SIGN    What does a Japanese soldier want in our village?
SIGN    Leave.
[15:00] S
    I don't understand a word
    you're saying, drunk.
[15:03] S
    Tell him if he lays a finger on me, I'll beat
     the shit out of him, Sergeant Tsukishima.
[15:26] S
    This place is a dead end.
[15:28] S
    Nothing but drunks.
[15:31] S
    Let's go ask the locals.
[15:34] Tanigaki
    What would cause Kiroranke's
    group to stop here?
[15:43] C
    What's wrong?
[15:45] Enonoka
    They took our dog!
[15:51] Enonoka
    A Russian came and talked to us!
[15:54] Enonoka
    They talked a whole lot.
[15:57] Enonoka
    When they left, the ropes on
    the isohseta's leash were cut.
[16:01] S
    Isohseta?
[16:03] Tsukishima
    The lead dog.
[16:05] Tsukishima
    It wears a decoration on its head.
[16:08] Enonoka
    Dogs are like our family.
[16:12] Tsukishima
    The chatty Russian worked with them, probably.
[16:15] Tsukishima
    It's a common trick for thieves.
[16:18] Enonoka
    It's the chatty Russian!
[16:20] S
    Him?
SIGN    Follow me.
SIGN    If you want the dog back, enter the stenka.
[16:31] S
    Stenka?
[16:33] S
    What's that? What is he saying?
[16:35] S
    It appears that the man Sugimoto hit
    was participating in some form of bet.
[16:40] S
    He can't enter with that black eye,
    so he wants us to take responsibility.
[16:44] S
    The owner of this bar bet a lot on him.
[16:47] S
    So if we want the dog back,
    you're going to have to take his place.
[16:52] S
    Tell him he either gives the
    dog back, or I tear down his shop,
[16:55] S
    rip off his limbs, and leave him
    to drown in the Soya Strait,
[16:58] S
    Sergeant Tsukishima.
[17:01] Koito
    I'm paying an awful lot to feed that dog.
[17:05] Koito
    Tell him in Russian that
    if he doesn't give it back,
[17:08] Koito
    I'll slice his balding head off and filet
    it like a fish, Sergeant Tsukishima.
[17:13] S
    I cannot translate such difficult expressions.
SIGN    The man you're looking for sought men
     with tattoos who'd come from Hokkaido.
[17:22] Tsukishima
    What?
[17:24] Tsukishima
    He says that the man we're
    looking for, that is, Kiroranke,
[17:28] Tsukishima
    was searching for tattooed
    men who'd come from Hokkaido.
[17:31] Tanigaki
    And that's why he came here?
SIGN    The man with tattoos might come to the stenka.
[17:37] Tsukishima
    He says the man with the tattoos
    might come to the stenka.
[17:42] S
    So the escaped prisoners
    made it as far as Karafuto?
[17:50] Tsukishima
    The stenka is held here.
[17:53] S
    What the hell is a stenka, anyway?
[18:00] S
    Such heat... and such manly smells!
[18:03] S
    What is the stenka?
[18:12] Narr
    Its official name is Stenka na Stenku.
[18:16] Narr
    Wall vs. Wall!
[18:18] Narr
    A Russian traditional sport
    where several naked men
[18:22] Narr
    face off against each other and fight!
[18:24] Narr
    It gets its name from the wall of muscled men!
[18:29] Narr
    That is the stenka!
[18:33] Tsukishima
    The stenka got its start as part of a
    festival competition held between villages.
[18:39] Tsukishima
    But one day, a man came and
    began to bet on it.
[18:44] Tsukishima
    He was Japanese, with a strange tattoo.
[18:48] S
    There seem to be a lot of Japanese.
[18:51] S
    Rich people come from Odomari
    and Toyohara to bet.
[18:54] S
    Is that prisoner here?
[18:58] Tsukishima
    He only fights the strong.
[19:01] Tsukishima
    Some days, he doesn't enter if
    there's no one to entertain him.
[19:05] S
    So I have to win to drag him out?
[19:10] S
    If he gets out there, we can
    see if he's got the tattoos.
[19:14] Koito
    Did Kiroranke's group give up and go on?
[19:18] Tanigaki
    They may intend to meet up with
    their fellows and come back.
[19:22] S
    That prisoner is the kind of guy
[19:23] S
    who'd come all the way to
    Karafuto and still pick fights.
[19:27] S
    It must be someone like Nihei
    Tetsuzou or Henmi Kazuo.
[19:29] S
    Someone who isn't interested in the gold.
[19:32] S
    Guys like that are trouble if they get away.
[19:36] S
    Anyway, tell him we'll win the stenka,
[19:38] S
    so if he doesn't give back the dog,
    I'll rip out what little hair he has left,
[19:42] S
    Sergeant Tsukishima.
[19:43] Tsukishima
    Why is it "we"?
[19:45] Koito
    Can't you enter on your own?
[19:47] Tanigaki
    It's your fault for hitting the guy.
[19:51] S
    Huh? But it's everybody's fault.
SIGN    Only he fights. I know he's strong.
SIGN    I just need to fill the hole that you made.
[19:59] Tsukishima
    "I just need to fill the hole that you made."
SIGN    You Japanese could never beat Russians on your own.
[20:02] Tsukishima
    "You Japanese could never
    beat Russians on your own."
[20:05] Tsukishima
    That right?
[20:06] Koito
    This bald bastard...
[20:09] Tanigaki
    He seems to have forgotten how we
    kicked the Russians' ass in the war.
[20:13] Men
    Get 'em, Japanese soldiers!
SIGN    You're tiny. It's past your bedtime, kid.
SIGN    Are you ready for your
     first stenka bout?
[20:46] S
    This is war.
[20:49] Koito
    I could take them all on myself.
[20:52] Tsukishima
    Russians are strong.
[20:54] Tsukishima
    Their frames are much bigger.
[20:56] Tsukishima
    But I've got more heart.
[20:58] Tanigaki
    The time's come, right?
SIGN    Ready!
SIGN    Punch!
[21:20] Men
    They're strong!
[21:22] Men
    The Japanese soldiers are strong!
SIGN    Don't mess with us!
[21:49] Men
    Wow! The Japanese won!
[22:01] Men
    Splendid.
SIGN    Next Time
    Stenka
[23:35] ---
    Next Time:
[23:37] ---
    "Stenka"!
