[00:05] A
    Is this Kiroranke Nispa?
[00:08] Sh
    These Russian border guards
    were after Kiro-chan.
[00:14] Sh
    What's he doing on a wanted poster?
[00:19] K
    When I was 15...
[00:22] K
    I met a group of anti-government
    extremists in St. Petersburg.
[01:00] A
    Aca...
[01:05] (Flashback) Dad
    Wilk!
[01:08] K
    Asirpa's father was there, as well.
[01:14] K
    We killed the Emperor of Russia.

[02:55] V
    I've been watching him for an hour,
[03:00] V
    and not only has he not moved,
    I can't even see him breathing.
[03:04] V
    And now that I look closer,
[03:07] V
    the way he's hiding is clumsy.
[03:10] V
    You can see his gun and
    his body even from below.
[03:16] V
    A man capable of firing that shot
    wouldn't make a mistake like that.
[03:23] V
    It was only a single shot, but it was
    clearly a shot from an experienced sniper.
[03:32] V
    I'll keep watching him as I move.
[03:36] Sh
    He's late.
[03:39] Sh
    Should we go help Ogata-chan?
[03:41] K
    No, he said he'd go alone.
[03:45] K
    We shouldn't get between them. It's not safe.
[03:50] K
    Let's believe in his skills
    and wait for him to finish.
[04:39] V
    That's...
[04:42] V
    I couldn't tell without the sunlight.
[04:45] V
    He covered his tracks in the snow?
[04:51] V
    Where do they lead?
[04:55] V
    A Uilta coffin!
[04:59] V
    That's why he's not moving! It's a decoy!
[05:47] A
    Ogata's come back.
[05:53] SH
    You ain't looking so good.
[05:56] SH
    Not that you ever do.
[05:58] A
    You've got a terrible fever.
[05:59] O
    I just put a little too
    much snow in my mouth.
[06:03] O
    It's nothing.
[06:07] Sh
    Why not have some hot water?
[06:09] Sh
    You should drink a lot.
[06:11] K
    We're getting out of here.
[06:18] Yuusaku
    Aren't you cold, Brother?
[06:25] (Flashback) Yuusaku
    I'm so happy you invited me along.
[06:30] (Flashback) Yuusaku
    It feels like they're
    avoiding me at the barracks.
[06:33] (Flashback) O
    Yuusaku-dono, will you come
    to another bar with me?
[06:38] (Flashback) Y
    Yes, of course.
[06:46] (Flashback) O
    There's an old myth about how virgin
    girls can't be hit by bullets,
[06:48] (Flashback) O
    so people would carry locks of their
    pubic hair as a good luck charm.
[06:52] (Flashback) O
    And male virgins began to
    be treated the same way.
[06:56] (Flashback) O
    A handsome countenance,
    proper manners, good grades in training...
[07:01] (Flashback) O
    The flag-bearer is the
    regiment's face, in a way.
[07:04] (Flashback) O
    I've heard that part of the reason
    you were chosen for flag-bearer
[07:06] (Flashback) O
    is that you've never known a woman.
[07:10] (Flashback) O
    The flag-bearer is the
    first into the enemy ranks,
[07:14] (Flashback) O
    so they have the highest death
    rate of any job in the army.
[07:18] (Flashback) O
    The women at this brothel are tight-lipped.
[07:22] (Flashback) O
    Yuusaku-dono,
[07:24] (Flashback) O
    all that matters is that the
    regiment believes you're a virgin.
[07:30] (Flashback) O
    Brothers get into trouble together, don't they?
[07:40] (Flashback) Y
    Brother...
[07:43] (Flashback) Y
    I'm sorry.
[07:49] (Flashback) O
    Send Yuusaku-dono out from the back.
     Don't let him be seen.
[08:01] K
    That's his cousin's home, supposedly.
[08:03] A
    Can you stand?
[08:05] A
    Let's get him inside and warmed up.
[08:16] A
    This is suwashi. It's a branch
    whose name means "bitter bush."
[08:21] A
    The Ainu boil it and then drink
    the water when they get a cold.
[08:24] A
    Put this on over you.
[08:26] A
    Let the steam hit you,
    and sweat as much as possible.
[08:30] A
    It's a method of healing called yaysumawkare.
[08:35] A
    What?
[08:39] K
    The cousin is a sama. The sama are those
    who mediate between man and the gods.
[08:47] K
    They pray to heal the sick.
[08:57] K
    They believe that the sick are
    possessed by demons named amba.
[09:03] K
    Through singing and drums, they communicate
    with the gods to have them driven away.
[09:07] K
    The louder the noise,
    the faster the gods will come.
[09:21] O
    Just stop...
[09:23] K
    Music is a spiritual thing with a
    strong effect on the subconscious.
[09:28] K
    It makes clear the connection
    between the patient,
[09:31] K
    and whatever wicked thing haunts them.
[09:44] (Flashback) O
    Lieutenant Tsurumi...
[09:46] (Flashback) O
    That'll be all.
[09:48] (Flashback) O
    I have an important matter to
    discuss with the lieutenant.
[09:59] (Flashback) T
    Your brother's every bit
    the man they say he is.
[10:03] (Flashback) O
    I believe he simply got scared.
[10:08] (Flashback) T
    I hope so.
[10:11] (Flashback) O
    I'll win him over.
[10:15] (Flashback) T
    If he's got a strong sense of justice,
    it'll be hard to win him to our side.
[10:21] (Flashback) T
    After all, he has very noble blood.
[10:29] (Flashback) K
    There's no such thing as noble blood.
    Nor shitty blood, either.

[10:42] Sh
    I'mma go take a shit.
[10:44] Sh
    Asirpa-chan, no watching.
[10:59] A
    What is it, Shiraishi?
[11:01] Sh
    Run away with me.
[11:03] Sh
    This is our only chance.
[11:04] Sh
    Nopperabo created a code with the tattoos that
    only his daughter can crack, right?
[11:10] Sh
    Which means you have to know what it is.
[11:14] Sh
    Maybe Kiroranke took you here because
    he's trying to make you remember.
[11:19] Sh
    That's why I haven't said anything so far.
[11:23] Sh
    But it's too dangerous to
    stay with him in Russia!
[11:27] Sh
    And he was hiding things from us!
[11:31] Sh
    He and Wilk were trying to steal
    the Ainu gold to fight Russia!
[11:37] Sh
    We'll leave our stuff.
[11:39] Sh
    We need to put as much distance between
    us and them as we can before they find out...
[11:43] A
    I'm staying.
[11:45] Sh
    Why?
[11:46] K
    My old name was Yulbars.
[11:49] K
    I was born as a Tatar,
[11:51] K
    but also carried the
    blood of a Karafuto Ainu.
[11:54] K
    My great-grandmother was a Karafuto Ainu
    who was sold to the peoples of Tunguska
[11:58] K
    to pay off a debt, and taken to the Amur River.
[12:03] K
    Wilk's mother was also a Karafuto Ainu.
[12:06] K
    The emperor we killed was the man who'd
    signed the Treaty of St. Petersburg.
[12:13] K
    We fought for freedom for the
    ethnic minorities of the Far East.
[12:19] K
    That includes my sons, Asirpa,
    and the Ainu of Hokkaido.
[12:27] A
    I want to know more...
[12:29] A
    Who was my father?
    How did he become Nopperabo?
[12:38] A
    And did he really leave behind
    a code only I can crack?
[12:44] A
    I need to know.
[12:47] A
    After all the killing is done,
    we'll find the gold, and then...
[12:52] A
    Will we kill more?
[12:56] A
    Should it should be found?
[13:00] A
    Or should it be left in the darkness?
[13:09] (Flashback) Y
    Forward! Forward!
[13:12] (Flashback) Y
    Run!
[13:15] (Flashback) Y
    Come on, now's not the time to stop!
[13:18] (Flashback) Nikaido
    We're not getting hit, thanks to Yuusaku!
[13:34] (Flashback) Y
    Forward!
[13:53] (Flashback) T
    Private Ogata...
[13:56] (Flashback) T
    Yuusaku-dono is, it seems,
    braver than I thought.
[14:01] (Flashback) T
    He has a tight hold on everyone's hearts.
[14:05] (Flashback) O
    So I won't be killing him, then?
[14:11] (Flashback) O
    I understand.
[14:17] A
    His fever's gone down.
[14:19] A
    This headband is said to drive away
    sickness demons. It seems to work.
SIGN    Thank you.
SIGN    No, it's fine.
[14:29] A
    You're giving this to me?
[14:30] A
    What is it?
[14:31] K
    This is for Ogata.
[14:33] K
    It heals headaches when worn, they say.
[14:36] K
    There are many different shapes
    for curing different things.
[14:40] K
    They're willing to give you a
    charm shaped like a child's penis.
[14:46] Sh
    How did you know that sometimes after
    I go to a brothel, my dick hurts?
[14:52] A
    Because you have a disgusting face.
[14:54] Sh
    How rude!
[15:03] (Flashback) Y
    Brother, what is it you
    wanted to talk to me about?
[15:07] (Flashback) Y
    It's so late.
[15:11] (Flashback) Y
    If the captain finds us, we're in trouble.
[15:14] (Flashback) O
    This way, Yuusaku-dono.
[15:30] (Flashback) O
    Here.
[15:36] (Flashback) Y
    A prisoner?
[15:39] (Flashback) Y
    Here? Why?
[15:40] (Flashback) O
    Yuusaku-dono, have you killed a
    single Russian since coming here?
[15:48] (Flashback) O
    True, a flag-bearer doesn't
    even carry a rifle.
[15:52] (Flashback) O
    Their role is to charge into the front
    lines and inspire their fellows.
[15:56] (Flashback) O
    But the other flag-bearers draw their swords.
[16:00] (Flashback) O
    Why don't you?
[16:03] (Flashback) Y
    Because...
[16:05] (Flashback) Y
    My first priority is to protect the
    flag that the emperor gave me.
[16:09] (Flashback) O
    So you don't want to get your hands dirty,
[16:11] (Flashback) O
    and you're using your job as
    a flag-bearer as an excuse.
[16:13] (Flashback) Y
    No... that's not true!
[16:16] (Flashback) O
    Then kill him, please.
[16:19] (Flashback) Y
    Brother, he's a prisoner of war!
[16:23] (Flashback) O
    Do you intend to be the one
    person who's pure at the end of this war?
[16:29] (Flashback) O
    Yuusaku-dono, I want to see you kill him.
[16:32] (Flashback) Y
    I can't!
[16:33] (Flashback) Y
    My father told me not to kill anyone,
    no matter what anybody else did.
[16:39] (Flashback) Y
    The flag is a holy thing
    to the soldiers around it,
[16:42] (Flashback) Y
    and so its bearer has to be a
    virgin to uphold their superstition.
[16:45] (Flashback) Y
    And... while this isn't a military rule,
    and just my father's interpretation...
[16:51] (Flashback) Y
    By refusing to kill the enemy,
    I'll be an object of worship
[16:53] (Flashback) Y
    to the men around me, giving them courage!
[16:55] (Flashback) Y
    Because everyone feels guilt when killing!
[17:02] (Flashback) O
    Guilt?
[17:05] (Flashback) O
    Guilt over the ones we killed?
[17:10] (Flashback) O
    Nobody feels that way.
[17:13] (Flashback) Y
    You're just saying that, right?
[17:15] (Flashback) O
    Everybody is like me. I know it.
[17:23] (Flashback) Y
    You're not that kind of person, brother!
[17:25] (Flashback) Y
    Someday you'll understand...
[17:28] (Flashback) Y
    That no one in the world should be able
    to kill and not feel any guilt over it!
[18:01] A
    Ogata, you awake?
[18:11] A
    What are you doing?
[18:13] K
    It's a reindeer shoulder blade.
[18:16] K
    He's cleaning it by removing
    all the meat from it.
[18:18] K
    He's going to tell our fortunes.
[18:23] K
    They burn bones in the fire, and use the
    cracks that appear to tell many things.
[18:30] K
    "Tomorrow, you'll catch a bear hunting."
[18:32] K
    "Tomorrow, you'll catch two reindeer hunting."
[18:36] K
    "You'll return home midway through hunting
    because you have something to do."
[18:39] K
    If the long line that forms, the "road,"
     burns with a black smudge,
[18:43] K
    it means the weather will turn bad.
[18:44] Sh
    So what does it say?
[18:46] Sh
    
[18:49] K
    "People will come from behind."
[18:53] Sh
    That's not bad news, is it?
[18:59] K
    A bad sign looks like this, they say.
[19:04] Sh
    I'm glad we didn't get a sign like that.
[19:11] A
    Thank you for lending us your reindeer.
[19:14] A
    We'll give them to your brother in the north.
SIGN    Thank you.
SIGN    I apologize for the harm we caused you.
SIGN    It's fine, it's fine.
[19:26] K
    Shiraishi Yoshitake, this is goodbye.
[19:30] K
    You're right. I'm a wanted
    man here in Russia.
[19:35] K
    If you stay with me, you'll be
    in greater danger than before.
[19:40] K
    You don't need to run away from me.
[19:43] O
    Hijikata Toshizou and Lieutenant Tsurumi
    both have a copy of your tattoos.
[19:49] O
    There's no need to keep you here now.
[19:52] Sh
    Yeah, gold won't do you
    much good if you're dead.
[19:57] Sh
    Asirpa-chan's burden is a
    very different one than mine.
[20:01] A
    You've helped me with a lot.
     Thanks, Shiraishi.
[20:06] A
    Stay safe! Don't get caught by any weirdos!
[20:20] Sh
    Now, then...
[20:21] Sh
    At times like this, you've gotta get smart.
[20:26] Sh
    You need to take a broad view, and see who's
    going to survive the battle for the gold.
[20:31] Sh
    Then you latch onto them like a flea on
    a horse and don't let go till payday.
[20:36] Sh
    Got it?
[20:38] Sh
    Now, then, maybe I'll head back to
    Hokkaido and suck up to Lieutenant Tsurumi.
[20:54] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    If I stop running... Shiraishi, you take
     Asirpa-san to Abashiri Prison.
[21:03] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    Take care of her, Shiraishi!
[21:06] Sh
    Wait!
[21:13] Sh
    Wait!
[21:15] A
    It's Shiraishi!
[21:20] K
    What, did you change your mind?
[21:23] Sh
    I'm sure there are lots of places to have
    fun with hot blondes in Russia, right?
[21:30] Sh
    Shiraishi Yoshitake is a
    man with global tastes!
[21:35] A
    Go home!
[21:40] A
    Jeez... don't blame me if your
    dick starts to hurt again.
[21:44] Sh
    Don't worry. I've got this.
