**[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.

To Karafuto
**[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"!
