    Karinpani.
[00:04] Asirpa
    When the Ezo mountain sakura
    flowers bloom, the deer grow new coats,
[00:08] Asirpa
    and it's said to be a sign that
    their meat will taste better.
[00:10] Sugimoto
    That's a good sign!
[00:13] Asirpa
    You wrap the bark of the cherry blossom
    trees around your bow to make it stronger,
[00:16] Asirpa
    so it won't break.
[00:17] Asirpa
    You also wrap it around your
    makiri and your quiver.
[00:20] Asirpa
    You also use it to bind the boards
    of your itaomacip together.
[00:23] Sugimoto
    So it's an important tree for hunting.
[00:26] Asirpa
    That tree you call a
    mayumi, we call a kasupni,
[00:30] Asirpa
    which means "ladle tree".
[00:32] Asirpa
    Its wood is hard and fine-grained,
    so we use it for ladles and spatulas.
[00:36] Asirpa
    We also use it for a ceremonial arrow
[00:38] Asirpa
    called a heperay that we
    use for the bear rituals,
[00:41] Asirpa
    and for the kite we use to
    hunt large sea creatures.
[00:44] Asirpa
    These arrows are said to lead the
    baby bear to where the kamuy dwell.
[00:49] Sugimoto
    That's an important tree.

[00:57] Kikuta
    Hey Usami, dial it back a bit.
[01:00] Kikuta
    Your dick's gonna catch fire.
[01:02] Usami
    It's our one way to solve
    the case, and it's working!
[01:05] Usami
    Shut up!
[01:07] Kikuta
    Out of the rest of the 7th Division,
    Ogata was a pretty big weirdo too, but...
[01:11] Usami
    Don't compare me to him!
[01:14] Usami
    He's just a wimpy, snot-nosed kid!
[01:16] Usami
    Fuck!
[01:18] Usami
    Do you remember Lieutenant Hanazawa?
[01:22] Usami
    Ogata's half-brother, who died
    at the Battle of Hill 203?
[01:26] Usami
    Fuck!
[01:30] Kikuta
    Of course I do.
[01:31] Usami
    Well, get this.
[01:34] Usami
    When Sugimoto threw Ogata into
    a freezing river in winter,
[01:37] Usami
    and he was in the hospital...
[01:44] (Flashback) Ogata
    Yuusaku-dono...
[01:50] (Flashback) Usami
    Yuusaku-dono?
[01:53] Usami
    He was calling out the name of
    the little brother he killed!
[01:57] Kikuta
    Ogata killed Lieutenant Hanazawa?
[02:00] Ogata
    Oh, you didn't know?
[02:04] Kikuta
    Why?
[02:06] Kikuta
    They seemed to get along.
SIGN    Russo-Japanese War The Siege of Port Arthur
[02:13] (Flashback) Usami
    Lieutenant Tsurumi says not to kill him?
[02:18] (Flashback) Usami
    But if Yuusaku-dono dies, then
    you will get all his father's love,
[02:22] (Flashback) Usami
    and he'll be able to control
    Lieutenant General Hanazawa.
[02:26] (Flashback) Usami
    That sucks.
[02:29] (Flashback) Ogata
    He must've decided that Yuusaku-dono
    would serve as a tool,
[02:32] (Flashback) Ogata
    because of how much everyone worships him.
[02:35] (Flashback) Usami
    Only 'cause of who his dad is, right?
[02:37] (Flashback) Usami
    They all think he's a better
    person than he is, right?
[02:41] (Flashback) Ogata
    That's right. Once he sees that,
    Lieutenant Tsurumi will change his mind.
[02:48] (Flashback) Ogata
    Everybody's all the same beneath the skin.
[02:52] (Flashback) Ogata
    Hey, you don't regret
    killing Russians, do you?
[02:56] (Flashback) Usami
    Nope.
[02:58] (Flashback) Ogata
    You get killed because you
    deserve it, in some sense.
[03:01] (Flashback) Usami
    Yes, I agree.
[03:03] (Flashback) Ogata
    And everybody has the potential to do wrong.
[03:07] (Flashback) Ogata
    Killing someone like that shouldn't
    make you feel guilty, right?
[03:10] (Flashback) Usami
    Not in the slightest.
[03:13] (Flashback) Ogata
    Just because your parents love you
    more doesn't make you a better person.
[03:17] (Flashback) Usami
    Very true!
[03:20] (Flashback) Ogata
    So there's nothing wrong with me, then.
[03:25] (Flashback) Ogata
    I want to see you kill.
[03:29] (Flashback) Yuusaku
    I can't!
[03:33] Usami
    Looks like you weren't able to
    show everyone who he really is!
[03:38] (Flashback) Ogata
    Well that's not good.
[03:40] (Flashback) Ogata
    Maybe I am the weird one?
[03:43] (Flashback) Ogata
    Is it because I'm the unloved
    child of a mistress?
[03:46] (Flashback) Ogata
    No, wait.
[03:50] (Flashback) Ogata
    What if Father actually did love me?
[03:54] (Flashback) Ogata
    Then there'd be no difference
    between me and Yuusaku-dono.
[04:00] (Flashback) Ogata
    Which would mean he's no saint. He's got
    the potential to kill without guilt.
[04:10] (Flashback) Ogata
    So how do I find out if
    Father really loves me?
[04:14] (Flashback) Ogata
    I just need to get rid of Yuusaku-dono.
[04:17] (Flashback) Ogata
    Am I right?
[04:20] (Flashback) Usami
    Sounds right to me!
[04:23] Usami
    And well... it all ended
    up just like we planned!
[04:28] Usami
    Would Lieutenant General Hanazawa now
    feel love towards Hyakunosuke,
[04:31] Usami
    who he already abandoned once?
[04:34] Usami
    The answer was...
[04:35] Usami
    Not at all!
[04:39] Usami
    He's got permanent blue balls
    'cause Yuusaku-dono died pure!
[04:45] Usami
    Isn't that precious?
[04:48] Kikuta
    I've got better things to do.
[04:50] Usami
    Neigh-hey!
[04:54] (Flashback) Usami
    I know you were egging on the traitors.
[05:00] (Flashback) Usami
    What is it about Lieutenant Tsurumi
    that's not good enough for you?
[05:05] (Flashback) Usami
    Don't tell me that's why.
[05:18] (Flashback) Tsurumi
    He's sure to see in you the
    brave fighter that he lost.
[05:23] (Flashback) Tsurumi
    Well done, Ogata Hyakunosuke.
[05:36] (Flashback) Usami
    Did you agree to kill Lieutenant
    General Hanazawa because you
[05:39] (Flashback) Usami
    thought it would make you
    head of the 7th Division?
[05:42] (Flashback) Ogata
    No, I just wanted to talk with him
    about some things before he died.
[05:46] (Flashback) Usami
    You don't think that if your
    influence in the division gets stronger,
[05:48] (Flashback) Usami
    Lieutenant Tsurumi will
    start loving you, right?
[05:54] (Flashback) Ogata
    Nope.
[05:55] (Flashback) Usami
    Look into the Manchurian railroad.
[05:57] (Flashback) Usami
    Lieutenant Tsurumi just saw
     your dad as in the way.
[06:02] (Flashback) Usami
    You killed Yuusaku-dono,
    but your father won't love you.
[06:06] (Flashback) Usami
    You killed your father,
    but Lieutenant Tsurumi won't love you.
[06:11] (Flashback) Usami
    Nobody loves you, and it drives you nuts!
[06:15] (Flashback) Usami
    And so you're blaming it all
    on Lieutenant Tsurumi, aren't you?
[06:19] (Flashback) Usami
    Know your place. We're just
     Lieutenant Tsurumi's pawns.
[06:24] (Flashback) Usami
    Learn from Sergeant Tsukishima!
[06:26] (Flashback) Usami
    He knows damn well that he's a pawn!
[06:30] (Flashback) Usami
    Lieutenant Tsurumi, that was great.
     That was wonderful.
[06:35] (Flashback) Tsurumi
    What are you talking about?
[06:37] (Flashback) Usami
    You called Sergeant Tsukishima
    "a comrade-in-arms."
[06:41] (Flashback) Usami
    You said that so everyone could hear, right?
[06:45] (Flashback) Usami
    Everyone's in love with you now!
[06:47] (Flashback) Usami
    Morale's through the roof!
[06:50] (Flashback) Usami
    They're all ready to come
    together and fight for you!
[06:55] (Flashback) Usami
    I'm so jealous.
[06:57] (Flashback) Usami
    I want you to use me as
    a pawn, like you did him.
[07:03] (Flashback) Usami
    It's the best way I could be used!
[07:06] (Flashback) Tsurumi
    I don't think of my men as pawns.
[07:10] (Flashback) Usami
    Right, right.
[07:11] (Flashback) Usami
    But if you told me I was a comrade-in-arms,
[07:16] (Flashback) Usami
    I might burst out laughing!
[07:18] (Flashback) Usami
    You and me and Sergeant. Tsukishima and
    Yuusaku-dono and that rich kid Koito,
[07:23] (Flashback) Usami
    we're all pawns!
[07:25] (Flashback) Usami
    You're not even worthy of
    trying to oppose Lieutenant Tsurumi!
[07:28] (Flashback) Usami
    You're just obsessed with him
    'cause he's the only person
[07:30] (Flashback) Usami
    who even pretends to give a shit about you!
[07:32] (Flashback) Usami
    I can tell!
[07:34] (Flashback) Usami
    I know exactly what you're thinking!
[07:36] (Flashback) Ogata
    If I were
[07:40] (Flashback) Ogata
    to play along with your
    feeble-minded delusion...
[07:43] (Flashback) Ogata
    Even if we're all peasants,
[07:46] (Flashback) Ogata
    you're the son of a peasant,
    and the cheapest pawn of them all.
[08:01] (Flashback) Solder
    Are you okay, Private Usami?
[08:06] (Flashback) Usami
    He hit me with the bedpan.
[08:08] (Flashback) Soldier
    Private Mishima is going after him.
[08:12] (Flashback) Usami
    Did hear that? He called
    me the cheapest pawn.
[08:17] (Flashback) Soldier
    No, I didn't.
[08:21] (Flashback) Usami
    That can't be right, can it?
[08:23] Usami
    Fuck! Fuck!
[08:26] Usami
    Ogata Hyakunosuke is going to
    show up again one of these days!
[08:31] Usami
    To cause problems for Lieutenant Tsurumi!
SIGN    Noguchi Hotel
[08:48] Ushiyama
    Ogata caught us a duck!
[08:51] Ogata
    I'm finally used to shooting
    with my left hand.
[08:53] Hijikata
    So our sniper's made a complete recovery?
[08:58] Ogata
    Nope.
[09:00] Ogata
    You're not a sniper unless you shoot people.
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[09:12] Botaro
    Sugimoto is always close
    to Asirpa-chan, isn't he?
[09:16] Shiraishi
    He treasures her 'cause she's a good hunter.
[09:20] Botaro
    I really don't get why you're
    working with the two of them.
[09:24] Botaro
    Facing off with lunatics like the
    7th Division and Hijikata Toshizou
[09:28] Botaro
    is a dangerous business.
[09:30] Botaro
    You're the kind of man who'd split the
    moment things didn't go your way, right?
[09:33] Shiraishi
    Eh, it just kind of ended up that way.
[09:37] Shiraishi
    If there's fewer people on your side,
    you don't have to split the money as much.
[09:40] Botaro
    It's not a sign that you
    really think they can win?
[09:47] Botaro
    That girl's got the same deep blue
    eyes as Nopperabo, doesn't she?
[09:53] Shiraishi
    Nah. I'm told that a lot of Ainu
    have Russian blood, though.
[10:00] Botaro
    We can't trust each other, sure.
[10:03] Botaro
    But we can't risk our lives for
    each other unless we share all the
[10:07] Botaro
    information we've got.
[10:11] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    This is just my guess, but I think
    Asirpa-chan already knows how to crack the code.
[10:19] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    Did she tell you?
[10:23] (Flashback) Sugimoto
    No.
[10:26] (Flashback) Shiraishi
    I see.
[10:28] Shiraishi
    I'm not that trusted, either.
[10:33] Botaro
    Look at this, Shiraishi.
[10:37] Shiraishi
    What is this?
[10:40] Shiraishi
    A gold piece?
[10:41] Botaro
    It was found alongside the gold dust
    at the bottom of Lake Shikotsu.
[10:45] Botaro
    Doesn't that mark look like our tattoos?
[10:50] Asirpa
    An atkamuy!
[10:52] Sugimoto
    Its round head is so cute! So cute!
[10:55] Asirpa
    Shall we catch it and turn it
    into a pair of gloves for you?
[10:57] Sugimoto
    No thanks! No thanks!
[10:59] Asirpa
    Atkamuy are protectors of children.
    They help people.
[11:03] Asirpa
    Just like Horkewkamuy.
[11:05] Asirpa
    I found Retar when he
    was a child around here.
[11:11] (Flashback) Wilk
    That star, the one next to it, and
    the one next to it, make up kunociw,
[11:16] (Flashback) Wilk
    the Bow constellation.
[11:19] (Flashback) Asirpa
    It looks like a bow!
[11:22] (Flashback) Wilk
    That's aynociw, the arrow constellation.
[11:26] (Flashback) Wilk
    Siarasarusikamuynokanociw...
[11:29] (Flashback) Asirpa
    A constellation shaped
    like a long-tailed bear.
[11:33] (Flashback) Asirpa
    So that star, and that one,
    and that one, what do they look like?
[11:38] (Flashback) Asirpa
    Um...
[11:41] (Flashback) Asirpa
    Like a dick!
[11:42] (Flashback) Wilk
    There probably isn't a dick constellation.
[11:45] (Flashback) Wilk
    That's the nociw for a Horkewkamuy.
[11:48] (Flashback) Wilk
    That's the front leg and that's the tail...
[11:51] (Flashback) Asirpa
    What kind of kamuy are the horkew?
[11:57] (Flashback) Wilk
    Kamuy that vanished.
[12:00] Asirpa
    It was after that when I met Retar,
[12:03] Asirpa
    and learned what a Horkewkamuy looks like.
[12:06] Sugimoto
    I hope the next generation of children
[12:08] Sugimoto
    get to see what the
    Horkewkamuy looks like, too.
[12:12] Sugimoto
    You know, if Retar has a
    lot of kids in this forest.
[12:15] Sugimoto
    Right, Asirpa-san?
[12:22] Asirpa
    Aca's name, Horkew Oskoni.
[12:25] Asirpa
    That has to be the clue to breaking the code.
[12:28] Asirpa
    He put the Ainu name my mother
    gave him into the code.
[12:32] Asirpa
    I can't believe someone like that would
    kill so many Ainu and steal the gold.
[12:37] Asirpa
    Is that why Kiroranke Nispa killed Aca?
[12:41] Asirpa
    The gold changed their fates...
    everyone's fate... for the worse.
[12:47] Asirpa
    Is it really best if the gold's found?
[12:50] Asirpa
    If I don't tell Sugimoto how to
    solve the code, he'll stay with me.
[12:57] Asirpa
    I can serve as a bullet shield for him.
[13:00] Asirpa
    Maybe it would be better if we never found
    the gold, and stayed together forever.
[13:06] Asirpa
    Sugimoto, what will you do
    if you do find the gold?
[13:18] Asirpa
    Go back home and live with
    the person you loved?
[13:24] Asirpa
    If the gold is found,
[13:28] Asirpa
    Sugimoto will leave me.
[13:32] Sugimoto
    What is that?
[13:33] Sugimoto
    Markings?
[13:36] Sugimoto
    And on that tree, too!
[13:38] Sugimoto
    There are markings on all
    the trees in this area!
[13:41] Asirpa
    We should get out of here now.
[13:44] Asirpa
    Hurry, Sugimoto!
[13:56] Shiraishi
    What's going on?
[14:17] Botaro
    This is how they chop down trees in Hokkaido.
[14:20] Botaro
    They chop some of them down partially,
    and then knock over the first one.
[14:26] Botaro
    And then all the others fall one
    after another, like shogi pieces.
[14:29] Shiraishi
    The two of them went into this forest!
[14:33] Shiraishi
    They didn't get flattened, right?
[14:35] Shiraishi
    Sugimoto!
[14:37] Botaro
    Hey!
[14:38] Shiraishi
    Asirpa-chan!
[14:41] Sugimoto
    Asirpa-san!
[14:44] Sugimoto
    Asirpa-san!
[14:48] Asirpa
    Sugimoto, are you okay?
[14:51] Sugimoto
    What about you?
[14:53] Sugimoto
    Does it hurt?
[14:54] Sugimoto
    Are you stuck at all?
[14:57] Sugimoto
    Your arms and legs, maybe?
[14:59] Asirpa
    I don't know...
[15:00] Sugimoto
    Wake up!
[15:01] Sugimoto
    Stay strong, we're getting out of here!
[15:11] Koito
    General Togo!
[15:14] Tsukishima
    General Togo is mine once more!
SIGN    Uemura
[15:21] Koito
    You're never getting promoted, Tsukishima!
[15:24] Tsukishima
    You're telling me to let you win at menko?
[15:27] Tsukishima
    Also, Lieutenant Tsurumi wants
    us to wait at Sapporo.
[15:32] Tsukishima
    He's giving up the search
    for Asirpa and heading—
[15:45] Koito
    Someone you know?
[15:47] Tsukishima
    No. But she seems quite
    dangerous. Be careful.
[16:00] Sofia
    I need to control myself for now...
[16:03] Sofia
    To find Asirpa!
[16:06] Sugimoto
    Is anyone here? Shiraishi!
[16:13] Asirpa
    Are you going back home to
    live with the person you love?
[16:18] Sugimoto
    There's this girl called Ume-chan.
[16:22] Sugimoto
    I was supposed to marry her.
[16:29] Sugimoto
    But after my whole family died
    from tuberculosis, that never happened.
[16:39] Sugimoto
    She married Toraji.
[16:48] Sugimoto
    He was her childhood friend, too,
[16:51] Sugimoto
    and I knew that he'd take good care of her.
[16:54] Sugimoto
    But she got an eye disease
    that would cost a lot to cure.
[17:06] Sugimoto
    And Toraji...
[17:16] (Flashback) Toraji
    If I told her I threw you...
    would Umeko believe it?
[17:29] Shiraishi
    Sugimoto! Asirpa-chan!
[17:35] Shiraishi
    Sugimoto! Asirpa-chan!
[17:39] Botaro
    If you're that worried about them,
[17:42] Botaro
    then the girl must be the key, right?
[17:45] Botaro
    She's Nopperabo's daughter, right?
[17:48] Botaro
    Well, Shiraishi?
[17:49] Shiraishi
    Shut up!
[17:51] Shiraishi
    Who gives a shit either way?
[17:55] Sugimoto
    I have to keep my promise and go home
    to give her the money she needs.
[18:02] Asirpa
    I'm glad the reason you want the gold is
    one that sounds like the Sugimoto I know.
[18:07] Asirpa
    Then you need the gold no matter what, right?
[18:11] Sugimoto
    Even if we do find the gold,
[18:13] Sugimoto
    I'll stay your partner until you're
    satisfied with how things have turned out.
[18:21] Asirpa
    That wasn't the answer I really wanted...
[18:27] Asirpa
    But first, let's get out of here.
[18:29] Sugimoto
    The others are sure to come and save us.
[18:32] Asirpa
    They might have gotten trapped themselves.
[18:34] Sugimoto
    Still, they'll come searching
    for us no matter what.
[18:38] Asirpa
    Shiraishi wants the gold really bad,
     in a different way than you.
[18:44] Asirpa
    He's incredibly greedy.
[18:47] Sugimoto
    Yeah, but he kept his promise with me.
[18:51] Sugimoto
    He stayed by you the whole time in Karafuto.
[18:57] Sugimoto
    So wouldn't it be okay to
    tell him, like you did me,
[19:02] Sugimoto
    that you remembered the key to the code?
[19:06] Asirpa
    Yeah.
[19:07] Asirpa
    I could've said it earlier,
    but I kind of missed my chance.
[19:15] Asirpa
    The atkamuy came to save us!
[19:18] Shiraishi
    I'm so glad all that happened
    in Karafuto wasn't for nothing!
[19:22] Sugimoto
    Shiraishi!
[19:24] Asirpa
    I can't believe you found us.
[19:27] Shiraishi
    Mister Hood saw it!
[19:30] Botaro
    Hey, help us!
[19:32] Botaro
    My comrades are trapped
    under the trees you felled!
[19:35] Woodcutter
    Oh, no!
[19:37] Woodcutter
    Where are they?
[19:53] Sugimoto
    Where did the kamuy here go, you think?
[19:58] Shiraishi
    So the forest looked like this on this side?
[20:02] Shiraishi
    I didn't realize.
[20:04] Asirpa
    We cut trees, too.
[20:08] Asirpa
    Just like the Japanese, we kill deer, bear,
    even wolves, and sell their pelts.
[20:13] Asirpa
    Nobody can blame you for
    wanting to live a good life.
[20:19] Asirpa
    You just need to not take too much.
[20:21] Asirpa
    When we hunt, we don't take all the meat.
    We leave a little for the mountain.
[20:27] Asirpa
    We leave some herbs, too.
[20:29] Asirpa
    Because there'll be more next year...
[20:32] Asirpa
    That's always what we've done.
[20:35] Asirpa
    If we leave a little behind instead of
    taking everything, our kamuy won't vanish.
[20:40] Asirpa
    I remember that's what Aca said.
[20:42] Shiraishi
    Botaro, why don't you show
    Asirpa-chan that gold piece?
[20:48] Shiraishi
    She's Nopperabo's daughter.
[20:50] Sugimoto
    Hey, Shiraishi.
[20:51] Shiraishi
    Don't worry. He figured
    it out a long time ago.
[20:56] Botaro
    This was at the bottom of Lake Shikotsu.
[20:58] Botaro
    You take it.
[21:00] Shiraishi
    That pattern looks like our tattoos.
     Wilk must've made this.
[21:06] Asirpa
    This looks like Ainu.
[21:10] Asirpa
    It means "in turn" or "crossing paths."
[21:14] Botaro
    I wonder if the Ainu from long ago brought
    all their gold together in one place,
[21:21] Botaro
    then melted down a part of it to celebrate
    their dream of having their own nation.
[21:27] Asirpa
    Aca once told Sofia in Russia that the
    Ainu and other Far Eastern minorities
[21:31] Asirpa
    should come together.
[21:34] Asirpa
    If he held this with him until
    the day it sank into Lake Shikotsu,
[21:39] Asirpa
    it means his desire for us all to come
    together and protect what we have
[21:41] Asirpa
    never changed.
[21:44] Asirpa
    He would never try to kill the
    people he was going to save.
[21:49] Asirpa
    Aca didn't kill those Ainu.
[21:55] Asirpa
    And I've finally realized what
    it is I have to do for the Ainu.
