[00:05] Asirpa
    What is that?
[00:06] Asirpa
    I've never seen one before.
[00:07] Kiroranke
    It's a musk deer.
[00:09] Kiroranke
    The Ainu in Karafuto call it an opokay.
[00:12] Kiroranke
    Those fangs mean it's a male.
[00:20] Asirp
    Are they supposed to taste good?
[00:22] Kiroranke
    No, the meat's not very good,
    and their pelts aren't worth much.
[00:27] Kiroranke
    But the males have something
    called a musk gland
[00:29] Kiroranke
    between their navel and genitals
    that secretes a liquid...
[00:33] Kiroranke
    Want to smell it?
[00:37] Asirpa
    That's awful!
[00:38] Asirpa
    It's like pee and Aca's armpits!
[00:45] Kiroranke
    Once it's been dried out,
    it becomes a medicine called musk.
[00:49] Kiroranke
    And if you water it down,
    it's supposed to attract the opposite sex.
[00:54] Kiroranke
    Not that I've ever needed help
    when it comes to getting women.
[00:59] Shiraishi
    Wow! Your whole body is musky!
[01:02] Kiro
    Since the animals don't keep
    to a particular territory,
[01:05] Kiro
    in Karafuto they call migratory
    workers "musk deer."
[01:09] Kiro
    Wilk and I wandered around a lot when we
    were younger, so they called us that, too.
[01:14] Asirp
    Really?
[01:15] Kiro
    Come to think of it, he mentioned
    his first hunt was a musk deer, too.
[01:20] Kiro
    He cut his hohchiri off after it was over.
[01:23] Asirp
    What's a hohchiri?
[01:24] Kiro
    A little triangular ornament
    made of glass beads.
[01:28] Kiro
    Karafuto Ainu boys put them on their bangs.
[01:31] Kiro
    And when when they make their first
    kill on their own, they cut it off.
[01:35] (Flashback) Wilk
    Asirpa, I used to wear this.
[01:39] (Flashback) Wilk
    When you get a little older,
     let's go hunting.
[01:42] (Flashback) Wilk
    Until then, keep it tied to your bangs.
[01:46] Asirpa
    Then that was a hohchiri...
[01:48] Asirpa
    I didn't know it was meant for boys.
[01:51] Asirpa
    I've remembered something about
    Aca thanks to the musk deer.
[01:56] Kiro
    I see.
[01:58] Kiro
    That's a good thing.
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
SIGN    Toyohara
[03:33] Nara
    Toyohara, known today as Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
[03:37] Nara
    At the time it was the political, economic,
    and cultural center of Karafuto.
[03:41] Tanigaki
    I know you like that thing
    because Enonoka gave it to you,
[03:44] Tanigaki
    but you're not gonna be a real
    man until you take it off.
[03:46] Cikapasi
    I know!
[03:49] Sugimoto
    Get back here, damn it!
SIGN    Episode Twenty-Eight
    The Immortal Sugimoto Harakiri Show
[03:51] Sugimoto
    Somebody grab that kid!
[03:56] Tsukishima
    And the copy of Gansoku Maiharu's
    tattoo is in that bag?
[04:00] Sugimoto
    That's right!
SIGN    Yamada Circus
[04:37] Yamada
    Chokichi!
[04:43] Yamada
    We're still not set up yet!
    Were the hell have you been?!
[04:47] Yamada
    Where'd you get that bag, boy?
[04:50] Yamada
    Wait, were you at it again?
[04:55] Tsukishima
    That was a gun!
[05:01] Koito
    You thought that you got away, didn't you?
[05:03] Chokichi
    That's crazy... no one's ever been
    able to catch up to me before.
[05:08] Yamada
    I am so terribly sorry!
[05:11] Yamada
    I can't believe he would steal from soldiers!
[05:14] Yamada
    The boy's an orphan, and wasn't raised right.
[05:17] Yamada
    I keep punishing him, but the bad
    habits just don't seem to go away!
[05:20] Sugimoto
    Look, it's fine. We don't want
    to make a big deal out of it.
[05:23] Yamada
    I can't allow him to keep being
    a menace to other people!
[05:27] Yamada
    Right here, right now, I'll have him
    take responsibility for his actions!
[05:35] Sugimoto
    What the hell are you doing?!
[05:36] Sugimoto
    He's just a kid!
[05:38] Tanigaki
    Keep pressure on the cut.
[05:39] Tanigaki
    I'll get you to a doctor.
[05:41] Tanigaki
    Wait... he's not even cut.
[05:44] Sugimoto
    Was that fake blood?
[05:46] Yamada
    Mine's real, though!
[05:50] Yamada
    I apologize for the shock. I was trying
    to lighten the mood a little.
[05:54] Yamada
    It's called sleight of hand, you see.
    The sword has a little trick added to it.
[05:58] Yamada
    It's a tool that we used in our overseas tour,
    for our big "harakiri" performance.
[06:03] Tsukishima
    You guys are performers, then?
[06:05] Yamada
    The lad here is Chokichi, our star acrobat.
[06:09] Koito
    An acrobat? Well, that explains it.
[06:12] Yamada
    Welcome to the Yamada Circus!
    I'm the ringmaster, Yamada!
[06:16] Yamada
    We've just returned to Japan after
    our acclaimed tour of Russia!
[06:21] Yamada
    And we'll be putting on
    a show here in Karafuto.
[06:24] Sugimoto
    This is it!
[06:25] Tsukishima
    What is?
[06:27] Sugimoto
    From what the people who spotted her said,
    Asirpa can't be that far ahead of us!
[06:33] Sugimoto
    Put me in your Karafuto show!
[06:35] Sugimoto
    When the Immortal Sugimoto
    does your harakiri show,
[06:38] Sugimoto
    everyone in Toyohara will
    be talking about it!
[06:41] Yamda
    Now, hold on! This is a bit sudden!
[06:44] Yamda
    Not to mention, I'd have to explain
    how to do the trick to you...
[06:49] Sugimoto
    Listen, I'm no entertainer.
[06:52] Sugimoto
    I'll take your secret to the grave.
[06:53] Sugimoto
    So it's no problem, right?
[06:55] Yamada
    But...
[06:57] Chokichi
    I think it'd be fine, as long
    as the others join the show, too.
[07:01] Chokichi
    We do have a few members
    of the troupe missing.
[07:03] Tsukishima
    What?
[07:04] Chokishi
    Especially this gentlemen.
[07:06] Chokishi
    I'm pretty sure you're a
    perfect fit for our world.
[07:11] Yamada
    Goodness gracious!
[07:16] Yamada
    What athleticism!
[07:20] Chokichi
    I was right about him.
[07:23] Tanigaki
    Cikapasi, get back! It's dangerous!
[07:27] Sugimoto
    Do not let go, Sergeant Tsukishima!
[07:29] Sugimoto
    You had better not let go!
[07:30] Cika
    You can do it, Tanigaki Nispa!
[07:32] Cika
    Get a boner!
[07:34] Tanigaki
    B-Boner... Boner, boner, boner—
[07:37] Sugimoto
    Shut the hell up!
[07:42] Yamada
    Remarkable! He's a natural-born acrobat!
[07:45] Yamada
    What circus troupe were you a member of?!
[07:49] Koito
    The 7th Division of the Imperial Army!
[07:51] Sugimoto
    I said not to let go, damn it!
[07:54] Yamada
    Sugimoto-san!
[07:55] Yamada
    You should practice the harakiri
    show instead of acrobatics!
[07:59] Sugimoto
    Does it really need practice?
[08:01] Yamada
    Of course it does!
[08:02] Yamada
    And you two, since you have absolutely
    no talent for acrobatics,
[08:07] Yamada
    join the dancing girls
    as part of the side show!
[08:13] Fumie
    Come on already, Genjiro,
    your hands are slacking again.
[08:16] Fumie
    You're focusing too much on your footwork.
[08:19] Tanigaki
    Sorry, ma'am.
[08:20] Fumie
    Are those hands only good
    for playing with your dick?
[08:24] Tanigaki
    No, ma'am.
[08:25] Fumie
    What're you staring at, boy?
[08:27] Fumie
    You in love with me?
[08:29] Tsukishima
    No.
[08:29] Fumie
    You think you'll get special treatment
    if you jump in bed with me?!
[08:32] Tsukihsima
    No.
[08:33] Fumie
    Because I don't go in for that sort of thing!
[08:35] Tsukishima
    Okay.
[08:39] Yamada
    Magnificent!
[08:41] Yamada
    It's not just his talent,
    he looks like a star, too!
[08:45] Yamada
    Everyone in Karafuto's going
    to be talking about him!
[08:49] Sugimoto
    Hey, enough already!
[08:50] Sugimoto
    If people are talking about you,
    it'll defeat the whole point!
[08:52] Koito
    Is this jealousy?
[08:53] Koito
    How pitiful you are, Sugimoto Saichi!
[08:56] Sugimoto
    No, you dumbass!
[09:00] Tsukishima
    We're doing this so they'll
    put Sugimoto in the show.
[09:03] Tsukishima
    I know it's irritating to get called slow,
[09:05] Tsukishima
    but you have to suck it up.
[09:08] Tsukishima
    If this helps us find Asirpa,
    then it'll all be worth it.
[09:13] Tanigaki
    I'm just... extra baggage
    for the dancing girls!
[09:17] Tanigaki
    I just can't dance right!
[09:20] Tanigaki
    I...
[09:24] Yamada
    First, you cut a sheet of paper to prove
    to the audience that the sword is real.
[09:30] Cika
    It really did cut it! Scary!
[09:33] Sugimoto
    Isn't using a real sword kind of dangerous?!
[09:35] Yamada
    It's perfectly safe!
    That's where the gimmick comes in.
[09:38] Yamada
    Now we pray...
[09:42] Sugimoto
    Do I really have to?
[09:45] Yamada
    Next, we splash a bit of water,
     for purification.
[09:48] Sugimoto
    Is that really necessary?
    It's just a trick, right?
[09:51] Yamada
    It's absolutely crucial.
[09:53] Yamada
    Now, I'll make the cut...
[09:58] Cika
    That makes my balls shrivel!
[10:00] Cika
    How come, Sugimoto Nispa?!
[10:02] Sugimoto
    No clue.
[10:04] Yamada
    And after splashing a bit
    on the leg, you cut it, too.
[10:08] Yamada
    At this point the crowd will be pale
    as a sheet, and howling in terror.
[10:13] Yamada
    And then!
[10:15] Sugimoto
    Those are some huge nipples!
[10:18] Yamada
    Finally...
[10:22] Yamada
    Seppuku!
[10:36] Yamada
    And that about covers it.
[10:38] Yamada
    Then someone comes in to cover me with
    a sheet and drag me behind the scenes,
[10:41] Yamada
    and the harakiri show is complete.
[10:46] Yamada
    To explain the trick, there's a groove
    running down the tip of the blade,
[10:49] Yamada
    with red dye stuffed in it.
[10:52] Sugimoto
    I get it.
[10:53] Sugimoto
    Add the water, and it starts
    to look like blood.
[10:55] Yamada
    Ready to practice a bit?
[11:02] Girls
    He's amazing!
[11:04] Girls
    How incredible!
[11:07] Chokichi
    Try throwing a kiss toward the audience!
[11:10] Koito
    How do you throw a kiss?
[11:12] Chokichi
    Just like that!
[11:14] Chokichi
    The foreign audiences loved it!
[11:20] Sugimoto
    Enough already!
[11:21] Sugimoto
    Second Lieutenant Koito! You don't
    need to be in the Karafuto show!
[11:25] Koito
    If you've got a problem, you just need
    to outdo me with your performance!
[11:28] Koito
    Otherwise, the idea of the name Sugimoto
    becoming famous in this town is a joke!
[11:35] Yamada
    The harakiri trick gets a lot
    of attention, too, y'know.
[11:39] Yamada
    The foreign audiences were so sure I was dead,
     they wrote about it in the local news.
[11:44] Sugimoto
    All right. I better practice.
[11:47] Fumie
    Genjiro, you're falling behind again!
[11:52] Fumie
    Is that ass of yours too heavy
    for you to step lively?!
[11:54] Tanigaki
    Sorry, ma'am.
[11:58] Girls
    Don't cry, Genjiro-chan.
[12:00] Girls
    You can do it, Genjiro-chan.
[12:02] Beniko
    Come on, girls, you need to get back.
[12:05] Beniko
    Before Fumie-sensei gets mad...
[12:07] Girls
    Okay!
[12:08] Girls
    See you later, Genjiro-chan!
[12:15] Beniko
    Y'know, Genjiro-chan, the show
    in this town is going to be my last.
[12:20] Genjiro
    Beniko-senpai?
[12:22] Genjiro
    Is that true?
[12:24] Beniko
    The dancing girls are all orphans that
    the Yamada Circus looks after.
[12:29] Beniko
    But once we're old enough,
[12:31] Beniko
    we get left behind when the circus
    heads to its next destination.
[12:38] Tanigaki
    Is that how it is?
[12:41] Beniko
    I'm so happy I get to dance with
    you in the end, Genjiro-chan.
[12:45] Beniko
    Let's make sure the Karafuto
    show is a success!
[12:49] Tanigaki
    Yeah!
[12:52] Tanigaki
    Yeah...
SIGN    The Immortal Sugimoto Harakiri Show
[13:02] Yamada
    All right, folks, we've got
    a full house tonight!
[13:05] Yamada
    Let's look sharp out there!
[13:08] Sugimoto
    Time to bring the curtain
    up on the Karafuto show!
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[13:16] Yamada
    Your attention, please!
[13:20] Yamada
    You will all be witness to the
[13:22] Yamada
    performances of the Yamada Circus,
    which have dazzled all of Russia!
[13:29] Yamada
    And now it is our honor to bring
    them here to you on this day!
[13:37] Chokichi
    All right!
[13:48] Enonoka
    Koito Nispa!
[13:53] Sugimoto
    Just you wait, Lieutenant Koito!
[14:06] Tanigaki
    Beniko-senpai!
[14:10] Yamada
    And next up, Koito Otonoshin
    will cross the high wire!
[14:16] Koito
    That's...
[14:18] Koito
    A picture of Lieutenant Tsurumi!
     What's it doing here?!
[14:29] Circus
    What the...
[15:02] Yamada
    We have witnessed an acrobatic god!
[15:07] Koito
    Damn you, Sugimoto!
[15:09] Koito
    You rifled through my things,
[15:11] Koito
    then tried to sabotage me with my
    picture of Lieutenant Tsurumi!
[15:15] Koito
    You cold-blooded bastard!
[15:22] Fumie
    Genjiro!
[15:28] Fumie
    You looked good.
SIGN    Yamada Circus Troupe
[15:33] Yamada
    And now for our final performance,
    the Yamada Circus's big closer!
[15:43] Yamada
    The Immortal Sugimoto Harakiri show!
[15:48] Sugimoto
    This needs to reach Asirpa-san.
[15:50] Sugimoto
    I'm still alive!
[15:53] Koito
    What's going on here?
[15:54] Koito
    There are two of this picture?
[15:57] Koito
    Wait, it's slightly different!
[15:58] Koito
    Sugimoto wouldn't have a picture like this...
[16:01] Tsukishima
    I was the one who did it.
[16:03] Koito
    Tsukishima?!
[16:05] Tsukishima
    Any way you think about it, you were
    standing out more, Lieutenant Koito.
[16:10] Tsukishima
    That defeats the whole
    point of the performance.
[16:13] Tsukishima
    I thought some sabotage
    would solve the problem.
[16:17] Koito
    This is bad.
[16:19] Tsukishima
    What's wrong?
[16:20] Koito
    I replaced that katana's blade
    with my own, for payback.
[16:26] Tsukishima
    Oh, so, so cold!
[16:28] Yamada
    You don't have to sell them
    on how cold the water is!
[16:35] Sugimoto
    I'm gonna cut my arm!
[16:37] Sugimoto
    Here goes!
[16:46] Sugimoto
    I'm gonna cut it! Here I go!
[16:53] Crowd
    Get on with it!
[16:54] Enonoka
    Cut yourself!
[16:56] Sugimoto
    Okay, here I go!
[17:06] Crowd
    The blood...
[17:06] Sugimoto
    Er... that actually hurt.
[17:10] Sugimoto
    I'm actually cut.
[17:19] Sugimoto
    This is a real sword!
[17:21] Sugimoto
    Now what? Should I cut the act short?
[17:23] Sugimoto
    Swap the swords out?
[17:25] Sugimoto
    No, it'd stand out too much!
    The crowd would definitely lose interest!
[17:37] Koito
    He's going to keep going?!
[17:39] Sugimoto
    I can't back down in front
    of a huge crowd like this!
[17:44] Cika
    That blood looks real!
[17:46] Sugimoto
    'Cuz it is!
[17:52] Sugimoto
    Have to be careful... not to
    hit anything important...
[17:56] Sugimoto
    This is all...
[17:59] Sugimoto
    To find Asirpa-san!
[18:10] Yamada
    Who are those Russians?
[18:28] Crowd
    What a trick!
[18:29] Crowd
    It looks so real!
[18:35] Yamada
    Get out there and bow for the crowd!
    And grab the bodies while they're distracted!
[18:38] Girls+Tanigaki
    Okay!
[18:54] Tsukishima
    Seems their actual target
     was the ringmaster...
[18:57] Tsukishima
    Since their orders were to go after the
    man performing the harakiri show.
[19:02] Koito
    But this was the one time that
    just happened to be Sugimoto.
[19:06] Sugimoto
    Who hired them?
[19:07] Tsukishima
    Someone from the
    Russian government, they said.
[19:10] Sugimoto
    Why would the Russians
    be after the ringmaster?
[19:14] Tsukishima
    You're a spy, aren't you?
[19:19] Yamada
    That's right. I was originally an
    officer with the Imperial Army.
[19:23] Yamada
    I was embedded in Russia for
    years before the war broke out,
[19:28] Yamada
    where I acted as an intelligence
    operative behind the scenes.
[19:31] Yamada
    The Russian government
    probably caught onto my identity.
[19:37] Fumie
    Bloody hell...
[19:41] Fumie
    Well, you're one shitty spy.
[19:49] Fumie
    Bury all three of them under the tent.
    We'll be pulling out in the morning, too.
[19:55] Fumie
    This place was just an empty field, anyway.
[20:01] Beniko
    Take care of yourselves, okay?
[20:03] Girls
    Beniko-senpai...
[20:05] Beniko
    Genjiro-chan! Don't forget
    about me or the girls, okay?
[20:11] Tanigaki
    Yeah!
[20:14] Tsukishima
    There's a write-up about
    the show in the paper.
[20:16] Sugimoto
    There is?!
[20:17] Sugimoto
    What's it say about me?
[20:19] Tsukishima
    It's got about...
[20:20] Tsukishima
    Two sentences.
[20:22] Sugimoto
    And it's a misprint!
SIGN    The Immoral Sugimoto
[20:23] Sugimoto
    Damn it all!
[20:25] Yamada
    Koito-kun!
[20:27] Yamada
    We plan on traveling to America some day!
[20:29] Yamada
    With your acrobatics, you could have
    the world eating out of your hand!
[20:32] Yamada
    Please, join the Yamada Circus!
[20:35] Koito
    I can't do that.
[20:36] Yamada
    Why?!
[20:37] Koito
    Because Lieutenant Tsurumi wouldn't like it.
[20:42] Tsukishima
    We're looking for some people.
[20:45] Tsukishima
    One of them is a part of a partisan group
    that's made up of a ethnic minority
[20:49] Tsukishima
    from the Amur River area.
[20:50] Tsukishima
    We believe he's headed north to
    rendezvous with his comrades.
[20:54] Tsukishima
    Do you know anything that might help?
[20:56] Yamada
    Partisans?
[20:58] Yamada
    One thing comes to mind.
[21:02] ---
    About 530 kilometers north of Toyohara,
     in a Russian port town,
[21:07] ---
    there's the biggest prison
    in Karafuto, Alexandrovskaya Prison.
[21:13] ---
    I heard a large group of eastern minorities
[21:18] ---
    was moved there for plotting a resistance.
[21:22] Tsukishima
    That definitely sounds like
    where Kiroranke would be headed.
[21:27] Tsukishima
    The performance might not have helped,
[21:30] Tsukishima
    but we got some important
    intel from Ringmaster Yamada.
[21:33] Sugimoto
    It did help.
