**[00:04] S**
Hey, you there.
**[00:08] M**
Hey. That was a good stenka you put on.
**[00:17] S**
You're a big guy, to be Japanese.
I can tell even under all those clothes.
**[00:21] S**
You a stenka fighter, too?
**[00:23] S**
I'm Sugimoto Saichi.
**[00:28] M**
My name is Gansoku Maiharu.
**[00:31] M**
It's rare for a Japanese man
to offer a handshake.
**[00:41] M**
Sugimoto-san, I'll see you again very soon.
**[00:50] T**
There you are.
**[00:52] K**
Who was that? What were you talking about?
**[00:54] S**
Nothing.
***SIGN*** Golden Kamuy
**[02:31] T**
The story of the Japanese
soldiers spread quickly.
**[02:34] T**
The rumors say they could even
beat the man with the tattoos.
***SIGN*** Episode Twenty-Six
Stenka
**[02:39] T**
He'll be at the stenka tonight.
**[02:41] T**
Many will bet on you.
**[02:44] T**
"If you lose deliberately, I can
win a lot of money," he says.
**[02:48] C**
What about the deal to give back our dog?
**[02:53] T**
You can have it back after
the fixed match is over.
**[02:58] Ta**
Some Ainu have a punishment where they
slice off a person's nose or ears.
**[03:03] Ta**
Do the Karafuto Ainu have that, Enonoka?
**[03:05] Enonoka**
We cut off their fingertips!
**[03:09] T**
He says he'll tell the man with
that tattoos that we're after him.
**[03:14] S**
You picked the wrong guys
to play hardball with.
**[03:17] K**
Listen up, everyone.
**[03:18] K**
We'll go over the plan.
**[03:21] K**
Sgt. Tsukishima, tell him, too.
**[03:25] K**
First, we slice off one finger at
a time until he gives back the dog.
**[03:29] K**
Then, when we're done burying
him in the back yard,
**[03:31] K**
we go to the stenka and find
the man with the tattoos.
**[03:36] K**
We don't do the stenka.
**[03:37] K**
We kidnap the man and take him to
the forest, where we shoot him.
***SIGN*** I've got information on the man in the photo I haven't told you yet!
***SIGN*** You've got more info on him? You know where he is?
**[03:57] K**
We start with the index finger.
**[03:59] K**
Hold his hand, Tsukishima.
**[04:00] S**
Wait. He may actually know something.
**[04:05] K**
He's obviously lying so we don't kill him.
**[04:09] Ta**
I agree.
**[04:10] Ta**
Not a word he says can be trusted.
**[04:12] T**
Getting caught up in more stenka bets
because of him is a waste of time and effort.
**[04:17] Ta**
This isn't like you.
**[04:19] Ta**
You're usually smarter than this.
**[04:22] S**
I'm sorry, Enonoka-chan.
**[04:25] S**
But...
**[04:27] S**
If there's even the slightest chance
it'll lead us to Asirpa-san,
**[04:31] S**
I can't waste that possibility.
**[04:37] Man**
We've been waiting for this!
**[04:39] Man**
I bet a lot of money on you, Japanese!
**[04:41] Man**
Win for me, soldiers!
**[04:47] All**
*The code tattoos!*
***SIGN*** What is Stenka to you?
**[04:53] M**
A method of self-expression.
**[04:55] M**
No different than expressing oneself
with dance, words, or painting.
**[05:01] M**
I'll punch anyone with this fist.
**[05:04] M**
The one way I always chose since I was a
child for others to know me was violence.
**[05:11] M**
But nobody liked me...
**[05:15] M**
The world didn't understand me.
**[05:20] M**
I spent most of my life in prison.
**[05:24] M**
But I enjoyed my time in prison.
**[05:29] M**
The prisons were filled with violence.
**[05:32] M**
Everyone rejoiced when I punched a guard.
**[05:35] M**
And I met the most wonderful people...
**[05:38] M**
Only Ushiyama-san had the strength
to stop me with bare hands.
**[05:42] M**
Once you grab someone in judo, it's over.
**[05:46] M**
As a reward, did they give
him a woman, perhaps?
**[05:49] M**
Any time I was out of control, Warden Inudou
would send Ushiyama-san after me.
**[05:55] M**
I was happy to get the chance to fight him.
**[05:58] M**
Sometimes, when it was
just punching, I managed to beat him!
**[06:03] M**
The moment I heard those cheers was
the moment I felt accepted by society!
**[06:13] Ta**
It's that man from before!
**[06:15] T**
Did you notice he was a tattooed prisoner?
**[06:18] T**
You didn't say a word because you
wanted to face him in the stenka, right?
**[06:23] T**
Then what about the fixed match?
**[06:25] T**
Looks like you've no
intention at all of losing.
**[06:29] K**
If you win, that small
possibility you had goes away.
**[06:33] S**
We'll get back the dog and get
the information on Asirpa-san.
**[06:37] S**
I've got a plan in my head
to make it at all work out.
**[06:40] S**
So fight as hard as you can!
**[06:46] C**
It's that talky Russian!
**[06:48] E**
It doesn't make sense that he's not
at the stenka. He's one of them!
**[06:51] C**
He's watching the dog.
**[06:53] C**
Let's get it back on our own!
***SIGN*** Ready!
***SIGN*** Punch!
**[07:07] M**
Tell me more about yourself, Sugimoto-san!
**[07:23] M**
Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[07:25] M**
Yes, Sugimoto-san!
**[07:45] M**
Hey! Look at me!
**[07:49] M**
Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!
**[07:52] M**
Look at me! Look at me! Look at me!
**[07:54] M**
Look at me!
**[08:00] Ta**
You okay, Sugimoto?
**[08:02] S**
I... I... I...
**[08:10] Man**
They all went down except for
the man with the tattoos!
**[08:13] Man**
Get 'em, Japanese!
**[08:16] M**
Please, all four of you at once, attack me!
**[08:20] K**
Bastard!
**[08:24] M**
More! More!
**[08:26] M**
*More*!
**[08:35] T**
He's strong... He's too strong.
**[08:38] S**
I... I...
**[08:42] M**
Well? This is me.
***SIGN*** That's cheating!
***SIGN*** We bet money on you!
**[08:57] T**
Sugimoto, what are you doing?
**[09:01] K**
I get it, Sugimoto! This is your plan!
**[09:06] Ta**
Calm down, Sugimoto!
***SIGN*** Get him!
**[09:19] S**
I'm Immortal Sugimoto!
***SIGN*** This is real stenka!
***SIGN*** There's more to stenka than just watching a brawl!
***SIGN*** This is the real thing!
**[09:34] S**
I...
**[09:36] K**
Sugimoto, this is really your plan, right?
**[09:45] Ta**
Sugimoto?
**[09:47] S**
The 7th Division...
**[09:50] K**
Lieutenant Koito, this isn't a plan!
**[09:53] K**
He just took too many hits to the head!
***SIGN*** This is not stenka!
**[10:04] S**
Gold...
**[10:09] M**
You were only after my tattoos?
**[10:12] M**
That's so mean!
**[10:13] T**
The cat's out of the bag!
**[10:14] M**
I thought we could understand each other!
**[10:21] Narr**
*The unfortunate monster, Gansoku...*
**[10:28] Ta**
Where'd the prisoner go?
**[10:30] T**
There! Follow him!
**[10:32] K**
What about Sugimoto, Sergeant Tsukishima?
**[10:35] T**
He's dangerous, so leave him!
**[10:37] T**
Just go after the prisoner!
**[10:44] M**
They followed me all the way to Karafuto?
**[10:46] M**
I can't stay here anymore.
**[10:55] Ta**
Where'd he go?
**[10:56] T**
Follow the footsteps!
**[10:57] K**
It's too dark to see.
**[10:59] K**
And it's cold.
**[11:04] M**
Let me go!
**[11:07] K**
That's him!
**[11:08] K**
A wolverine's got him!
**[11:10] K**
Lieutenant Tsukishima, do you have a gun?
**[11:12] T**
Do I look like I do?
**[11:13] T**
We have to help him, or it'll eat the tattoos!
**[11:25] T**
Run! We can't beat that thing with stenka!
**[11:32] T**
A shack!
**[11:33] T**
Keep running! It'll catch up!
**[11:45] T**
It's hot!
**[11:46] T**
Why is it so hot?
**[11:48] M**
This is a Russian steam bath!
**[11:51] M**
A banya!
**[11:53] K**
It's too hot!
**[11:54] K**
We can't stay here long!
**[11:56] T**
But the wolverine's outside!
**[11:59] T**
What do we do?
**[12:02] K**
Think, everyone!
**[12:04] K**
It's hot! It's so hot!
**[12:07] K**
It's so hot!
**[12:10] All**
*Banya!*
***SIGN*** Golden Kamuy
**[12:32] E**
It's locked!
**[12:33] E**
What do we do?
**[12:37] C**
Shoot it with Tanigaki Nispa's gun.
**[12:39] E**
No! It'll be too loud!
**[12:43] T**
The wolverine's not going away.
**[12:46] T**
Is there anything we can use as a weapon?
**[12:48] T**
It's so hot...
**[12:50] Ta**
We have to do something about Sugimoto, too.
**[12:52] Ta**
We have to regroup here...
**[12:56] Ta**
But it's so hot...
**[13:00] Ta**
Hey, you!
**[13:01] Ta**
Don't make steam!
**[13:06] All**
It's so hot!
**[13:08] M**
This is a venik. It's a
bunch of white birch leaves.
**[13:13] All**
Ow! Ow!
**[13:16] M**
Being struck with a venik
stimulates blood flow,
**[13:19] M**
and by stirring up the air in
the room, it also makes it feel hotter!
**[13:24] T**
Stop it! There's a wolverine outside!
**[13:27] M**
You're here to kill me and
strip my tattoos, right?
**[13:31] M**
Now, let's see who gives in and
runs out of the banya first!
**[13:41] M**
I want you to all strike me at once!
**[13:57] E**
Further left.
**[14:01] E**
That's right! No! No!
**[14:04] E**
There!
**[14:06] E**
Go... No!
***SIGN*** You!
***SIGN*** Wait!
**[14:21] Both**
Yes!
**[14:25] C**
I'm shooting, Enonoka.
**[14:36] M**
More!
**[14:39] M**
More! More!
**[14:41] T**
*What am I doing?*
**[14:43] M**
More! More!
**[14:48] K**
This is all part of Sugimoto's plan, right?
**[14:51] T**
I'm sure that it's not!
**[15:00] E**
Hooray!
**[15:01] E**
We got it back ourselves!
**[15:07] C**
Sugimoto Nispa?
**[15:10] C**
He's acting weird...
**[15:12] C**
Don't stop!
**[15:14] C**
He's gone crazy!
**[15:23] C**
Go! Go!
**[15:32] C**
Cikapasi!
**[15:41] C**
Go away!
**[15:44] C**
Ryu!
**[16:14] C**
Tanigaki Nispa!
**[16:16] T**
One shot! You've got one shot, so make it count!
**[16:20] T**
Pull the trigger, Cikapasi!
**[16:33] C**
Is this...
**[16:34] C**
Is this... a boner?
**[16:37] T**
Yes, Cikapasi!
**[16:39] T**
This is a boner!
**[16:47] M**
I want to finish things with you.
**[16:58] M**
*Sugimoto-san's fists contain rage.*
**[17:03] M**
*But he should feel no anger toward me.*
**[17:07] K**
Should we help?
**[17:09] T**
Help who?
**[17:11] T**
We need to stop them.
**[17:13] T**
We need Sugimoto to get Asirpa back.
**[17:15] T**
We can't let him take any more hits!
**[17:18] M**
Why do you feel such anger?
**[17:25] M**
Who are you angry at?
**[17:27] M**
What are you angry at?
**[17:35] S**
As... Asirpa-san!
**[17:41] S**
I...
**[17:44] S**
I...
**[17:49] S**
I...
**[17:53] S**
I...
**[17:55] S**
I'm useless!
**[17:59] M**
Forgive yourself.
**[18:01] M**
You're working so hard...
**[18:03] M**
You're a mess now!
**[18:14] T**
That's enough! Stop!
**[18:30] S**
It's so cold!
**[18:34] S**
It's so cold!
**[18:36] M**
Back to the banya!
**[18:38] K**
Tsukishima!
**[18:40] T**
I didn't realize we were on the ice.
**[18:44] E**
You killed a kuciri!
**[18:45] E**
You were so cool!
**[18:47] C**
Well, Tanigaki Nispa helped me.
**[18:50] E**
Yup. You had your eyes closed.
**[18:58] K**
So what was your plan, exactly?
**[19:03] S**
I forget.
**[19:05] M**
Shall we continue?
**[19:07] M**
If you still want my tattoos.
**[19:11] S**
I don't want to kill you.
**[19:13] S**
But somebody will come after the tattoos.
**[19:15] S**
You may be a great brawler,
but you can't beat a gun.
**[19:20] S**
Let us copy the tattoos,
and we'll find the gold.
**[19:25] S**
And then nobody else will want them anymore.
**[19:29] T**
Leave Karafuto. Go as far west as you can.
**[19:32] T**
Go to the other end of the continent
and nobody will follow you.
**[19:35] T**
Pursue stenka in its birthplace, Russia.
**[19:40] M**
I guess I'll have to find someone stronger.
**[19:45] S**
Stop with the steam!
**[19:48] M**
Oh, and that name Sugimoto-san was saying...
**[19:52] S**
Was I saying something?
**[19:54] M**
Asir...
**[19:55] S**
You know Asirpa-san?
**[19:58] M**
Yes, Asirpa.
**[20:01] M**
An Ainu girl.
**[20:03] M**
I remember that name because the man
she was with had tattoos, like me.
**[20:08] T**
Shiraishi!
**[20:10] M**
I followed him to the tavern
because I wondered what could've
**[20:14] M**
brought him all the way to Karafuto.
**[20:17] S**
What was she talking about?
**[20:20] M**
Probably about you, Sugimoto-san.
**[20:26] Shiraishi**
*I can't see him dying.*
**[20:28] (Flashback) Shiraishi**
I said that, sure, but...
**[20:32] (Flashback) A**
What?
**[20:33] (Flashback) Shiraishi**
If he didn't follow us up here, then maybe...
**[20:38] (Flashback) A**
What are you saying, Shiraishi?
**[20:41] (Flashback) A**
He's Immortal Sugimoto!
**[21:03] Kiroranke**
A wounded one went that way!
**[22:44] Kiroranke**
Sea lions go north of Karafuto
to breed in the summer,
**[22:48] Kiroranke**
and then head south to Hokkaido
for the winter at this time of year.
**[22:51] Kiroranke**
This one might've been doing just that.
**[22:54] A**
We call them etaspe.
**[22:57] A**
Their fatty meat is a delicacy. Try some.
**[23:07] A**
You can't chew through it?
Maybe it was too thick.
**[23:11] A**
Is it hinna?
**[23:12] Shiraishi**
It's very stinky.
**[23:16] O**
I know I hit it in the head,
but it didn't go down.
**[23:20] Asirpa**
It's like a bear. The bone
on the head is strong.
**[23:24] Asirpa**
When you're fighting a tough one,
don't aim for the head.
**[23:28] Shiraishi**
Asirpa-chan, you ate too much fat.
