[00:01] Gu
    This face...
[00:02] Gu
    This is the face of a bear that
    would've attacked humans someday.
[00:05] Gu
    How can you be so sure?
[00:07] Gu
    Look.
[00:08] Gu
    A six-year-old female whose womb shows
     no signs of ever having given birth.
[00:12] Gu
    Bears like this get more and
    more violent as time passes.
[00:15] Gu
    When it comes to brown bears, the females
    are more foul-tempered and scary.
[00:19] Gu
    Just like humans, huh?
[00:26] Gu
    If you're a Matagi, I'm sure you know this,
[00:28] Gu
    but every bear has some traits
    that make it unique.
[00:32] Gu
    Some get scared and run.
[00:33] Gu
    Some will come after you no matter
     how many times you shoot them.
[00:36] Gu
    I've killed over 200 bears myself,
[00:41] Gu
    but the hunt's never been the same twice.
[00:44] Gu
    He's killed 200 himself?
[00:46] Gu
    But they all have similar habits.
[00:49] Gu
    Each one's different, but their
     habits are similar.
[00:52] Gu
    If you know those habits in and out,
[00:53] Gu
    it will help you.
[00:57] Gu
    Matagi soldier, you've never
     hunted a wolf, right?
[01:02] Gu
    What about you?
[01:04] Gu
    Nope.
[01:06] Gu
    I know nothing about them.
    That's why I want to hunt one.
[01:11] Gu
    Human traps drove the wolves to extinction.
[01:16] Gu
    But one last wolf won that
    battle of wits and survived.
[01:22] Gu
    A battle between what makes it unique,
     and what makes me unique...
[01:26] Gu
    My hunter's soul is getting erect!

[03:05] A
    There're footprints heading
    under that fir tree.
[03:08] A
    The deer you shot must be
    hiding under it and resting.
[03:12] A
    I'll drive it out.
[03:13] A
    You go around and ambush it.
[03:16] S
    Right.
[03:18] S
    This time, I need to put
    it out of its misery.
[03:24] S
    Wow!
[03:27] A
    It's on the move, Sugimoto!
[03:34] ---
    
[03:37] S
    Where's the deer?
[03:42] S
    Asirpa-san, where's the deer?
[03:43] A
    It climbed up that way.
[03:45] A
    I can't believe it still
    has that much stamina.
[03:51] A
    It'll be dark soon.
[03:52] A
    Let's wait for morning
    and follow its tracks then.
[03:55] A
    We can use that tree to make a simple hut.
[04:10] A
    Don't worry so much about it.
[04:12] A
    The meat and liver of a deer don't
    taste as good if it suffers,
[04:16] A
    but the brain and eyeballs
    will still be delicious.
[04:21] S
    No, that's not it...
[04:26] Gu
    Tonight, you'll be dining
    on freshly-killed bear,
[04:30] Gu
    prepared by none other than Nihei Tetsuzou.
[04:35] Gu
    Nihei's cuisine!
[04:36] Gu
    The heart is ready to eat!
[04:40] Gu
    It's good!
[04:40] Gu
    The more you chew it, the bloodier it tastes.
[04:43] Gu
    Fresh heart is something only
    hunters get to eat, huh, Tanigaki?
[04:47] Gu
    I heard Matagi drink bear blood, right?
[04:50] Gu
    Then you should be able to eat this, too.
[04:53] Gu
    Nihei's cuisine! Blood sausage!
[04:59] Gu
    It's nice and bloody!
[05:01] Gu
    Be careful, it boosts your libido.
[05:03] Gu
    Don't let it get so big it
    blows a hole in the roof!
[05:07] Gu
    Your boner, I mean!
[05:14] Gu
    You're a quiet guy.
[05:15] Gu
    The traditions of the Matagi
    have seeped into your bones.
[05:19] Gu
    Why are you still wearing that cap?
     It doesn't suit you at all.
[05:23] Gu
    Why don't you go back home and
    go back to being a Matagi, Tanigaki?
[05:31] Gu
    I stayed in the military for a reason.
[05:36] Gu
    I was ready to abandon my home, Akita.
[05:39] Gu
    But when I was in the mountains,
[05:41] Gu
    I could feel something like
    poison seeping out of my body.
[05:47] Gu
    "May you be born again and
    hear pleasant sounds."
[05:52] Gu
    That's what we Matagi say to the bears
    as we send them to the next life.
[05:59] Gu
    I never said that to anyone
     I killed in that war.
[06:05] Gu
    The wolf hunt is just an excuse for you.
[06:10] Gu
    You can't go back to the
    military or your home.
[06:13] Gu
    Your hunter's soul wanders
    the forests of Hokkaido.
[06:20] Gu
    Tanigaki, when we kill that wolf,
[06:23] Gu
    take its pelt and head back home.
[06:40] Gu
    BONER!
[06:50] Gi
    Stand up, Sugimoto!
[06:57] S
    Run, run!
[06:59] S
    If you stop, you'll die!
[07:01] S
    I refuse to die!
[07:03] S
    I'm going to live!
[07:13] A
    This is where the deer dug up
    the snow and went to sleep.
[07:16] A
    We were just a little too late.
[07:19] A
    There's deer osoma frozen on the ground.
[07:21] A
    Look, Sugimoto.
[07:23] A
    Don't eat it.
[07:24] A
    That's the kind of osoma
    you're not supposed to eat.
[07:27] S
    There is no poop you're supposed to eat!
[07:31] A
    Deer drop their osoma at regular intervals,
[07:33] A
    so when you chase them, it will
    tell you how far away you are.
[07:36] A
    There's very little space between the tracks.
[07:39] A
    We'll catch it for sure.
[07:41] Gu
    How are you going to hunt the wolf?
[07:43] Gu
    First, we need bait to lure it out.
[07:47] Gu
    We'll shoot a deer.
[07:48] Gu
    Why?
[07:49] Gu
    We have plenty of bear meat.
[07:51] Gu
    Tanigaki, if you were walking down the road,
[07:55] Gu
    and you saw a peeled persimmon
    lying on the ground,
[07:58] Gu
    would you eat it?
[08:01] Gu
    When you're hunting, you need to put
    yourself in the place of the prey.
[08:04] Gu
    Did your senses dull in the war,
     Matagi Tanigaki-chan?
[08:09] A
    Its tracks are unsteady.
[08:11] A
    It's running out of strength.
[08:15] A
    That tree ahead of us...
[08:17] A
    That must be where it's hiding.
[08:19] A
    I'll chase it out,
[08:21] A
    so you go downwind, circle around a
    good long ways, and then lay in ambush.
[08:25] A
    Stay low, and go quiet.
[08:31] S
    I'll do it in one shot this time.
[08:34] S
    I'll end it without making it suffer more.
[08:39] Gu
    Ryuu's young, but he's a good hunting dog.
[08:42] Gu
    He can find the newest, strongest scent
     from among a lot of deer tracks.
[08:55] Gu
    What is it, Ryuu?
[08:59] Gu
    I see.
[09:00] Gu
    This is a dog that doesn't even
    fear bears, and look at it.
[09:05] Gu
    Do you mean...?
[09:11] Gu
    We're inside the wolf's territory!
[09:18] A
    Here we go, Sugimoto.
[09:20] A
    Aim carefully.
[09:39] A
    Sugimoto, shoot!
[09:44] A
    What is he doing?
[09:53] A
    Retar?
[09:58] A
    Retar, hold it down!
[10:00] A
    Why didn't you shoot?
[10:02] A
    You said you'd finish it!
[10:09] S
    The blood on its wound had become
    an icicle that shook when it moved.
[10:15] S
    It didn't have enough body
    heat left to melt that icicle,
[10:18] S
    but it was still trying its best to live.
     And when it stared at me...
[10:22] S
    I couldn't move.
[10:27] S
    This thing is me!
[10:35] A
    If you can't take responsibility
    until the end,
[10:37] A
    don't shoot at all.
[10:40] Gu
    That gunshot...
[10:42] Gu
    It was a Type 30, just like my rifle.
[10:47] A
    Sugimoto, put your hands in here.
[10:57] A
    Well?
[10:59] S
    It's warm.
[11:01] S
    My cold hands are warming up...
[11:04] A
    The deer died, and now, it's warming you up.
[11:08] A
    Its body heat is becoming yours
[11:10] A
    and keeping you alive.
[11:12] A
    We and the animals eat the meat,
[11:15] A
    and the rest becomes life for
     the trees, the grass, and the ground.
[11:19] A
    The value of that deer's
    life won't disappear.
[11:27] S
    Should we eat it?
[11:29] A
    Let's!
SIGN    Golden Kamuy
[11:38] S
    He's acting strange.
[11:43] A
    He's telling us to hurry.
[11:45] A
    Somebody's coming.
[11:47] A
    It must be that soldier.
[11:49] A
    He's still looking for me?
[11:53] A
    You can go, Retar.
[11:58] A
    Sugimoto, take as much
    as you can, and let's go.
[12:00] A
    Retar will come back and eat the rest.
[12:03] S
    This is heavy!
[12:05] A
    We're eating the brains. Take it.
[12:11] Gu
    Look. Wolf tracks.
[12:14] Gu
    And big ones.
[12:17] Gu
    There's no sign of it eating anything.
[12:19] Gu
    Did it make the kill, and then
     hunters took the meat?
[12:23] Gu
    They did a bad job of cleaning up.
[12:25] Gu
    A Type 30 rifle and boots,
[12:28] Gu
    and a child wearing deerskin shoes.
[12:31] Gu
    It's those two from before.
[12:33] Gu
    Must be them.
[12:34] Gu
    You mean that Ainu girl?
[12:37] Gu
    I don't know why,
[12:39] Gu
    but the wolf doesn't seem to fear the girl.
[12:41] Gu
    The wolf sensed us and ran.
[12:45] Gu
    So they left the meat for the wolf?
[12:49] Gu
    Maybe it will come back to eat it.
[12:54] Gu
    Tanigaki, let's wash each other.
[12:57] Gu
    Matagi bathe in cold water
    before hunting, right?
[13:01] Gu
    We're up against a wolf with
    a sharp sense of smell.
[13:04] Gu
    We need to do everything we can to prepare.
[13:07] S
    It's too far away to see them,
[13:09] S
    but one is carrying soldier's gear.
[13:12] S
    They don't seem to be following us.
[13:15] S
    Let's hurry.
[13:21] S
    Someone's here.
[13:24] Gu
    I've been waiting for you!
[13:26] S
    Oh, it's you, Shiraishi?
[13:28] Gu
    What kind of greeting is that?
[13:29] Gu
    Oh, did you hunt that?
[13:31] Gu
    Perfect timing.
[13:35] Gu
    I brought some sake as a present!
[13:42] A
    Deer lung.
[13:43] A
    You eat this raw, too.
[13:46] Gu
    I'd like some meat...
[13:48] A
    Call it chitatap!
[13:53] A
    Hey, Sugimoto, there's still
     some chitatap left.
[13:56] A
    Eat it all.
[13:57] S
    I'm full.
[14:00] A
    What?
[14:03] A
    The deer, boldly running across the snow!
[14:05] A
    The heat of its organs!
[14:06] A
    The taste of its meat!
[14:08] A
    It's all proof that the deer lived!
[14:10] A
    Eat it all, and remember it all!
[14:12] A
    That is the responsibility
    we take for our prey!
[14:19] S
    If I die,
[14:20] S
    will you be the one person
    to never forget me?
[14:25] A
    If you die?
[14:29] A
    Don't die, Sugimoto!
[14:32] S
    I'm immortal!
[14:35] Gu
    He says he's immortal, Asirpa-chan.
[14:37] Gu
    So eat some chitatap.
[14:44] A
    Chitatap's so good!
[14:48] Gu
    Oh, right, Sugimoto.
[14:50] Gu
    I came to tell you about
    something I found out in town.
[14:56] Gu
    Information about a prisoner with
    one of the gold tattoos on his body.
[15:01] Gu
    I heard it from a pelt trader.
[15:03] Gu
    A man who'd been arrested several
    years ago for three murders
[15:07] Gu
    had showed back up in Otaru.
[15:10] Gu
    He was a talented hunter,
[15:12] Gu
    and the pelt traders had a name they
    gave him out of fear and respect.
[15:16] Gu
    "Nihei Tetsuzou, the Hunter Who
    Gives Hibernating Bears Bad Dreams."
[15:24] Gu
    That tattoo...
[15:25] Gu
    Don't look at me like that, Tanigaki.
[15:29] Gu
    It's just small because of the cold.
[15:32] Gu
    Usually, it's much bigger than that.
[15:35] Gu
    I don't know how you can joke with
    me after you killed those soldiers.
[15:40] Gu
    Are you gonna shoot me, rip off my skin,
[15:42] Gu
    and then head back to the military?
[15:46] Gu
    Are you a Matagi or a soldier?
[15:51] Gu
    Which are you right now?
[15:55] A
    Nihei Tetsuzou...
[15:57] A
    I've heard that name before.
[16:00] A
    Once, there was this group of bad guys
    who'd kill hunters and steal their prey.
[16:05] A
    But one day, they picked
    the wrong guy to go after.
[16:10] Gu
    It happened when I'd tracked and
    slain a bear that had left its den,
[16:14] Gu
    and was field dressing it.
[16:21] (Flashback) Gu
    Can you hear me, thieves?
[16:24] (Flashback) Gu
    When I hunt a bear, I'm willing
    to risk my life doing it!
[16:29] (Flashback) Gu
    If you want to hunt me,
[16:30] (Flashback) Gu
    you'd better be ready to
    end up as animal shit!
[16:37] Gu
    You're lower than animals.
    I won't use my gun on you.
[16:41] Gu
    I spent three days tracking
    them down, one by one,
[16:44] Gu
    and beating them to death.
[16:47] Gu
    But the last one...
[16:50] Gu
    The police that were searching
    the mountain got to him first.
[16:52] (Flashback) Gu
    Oh, you're here, Nihei?
[16:54] (Flashback) Gu
    You're too late!
[16:56] (Flashback) Gu
    Put down that club!
[16:58] (Flashback) Gu
    Stop!
[16:59] (Flashback) Gu
    Hey, stop!
[17:02] (Flashback) Gu
    Leave him to us!
[17:09] Gu
    I'm more obsessed with tracking
    my prey than a bear.
[17:13] Gu
    But I'm not an animal. I'm a human.
[17:17] Gu
    And humans have their own laws.
[17:20] Gu
    My penalty for following the laws of the
    mountains was to be sent to Abashiri Prison.
[17:26] Gu
    I escaped because I wanted
    to die in the mountains.
[17:29] Gu
    At the end of my battle,
    the beasts will eat me and shit me out,
[17:33] Gu
    and I'll become part of the mountains.
[17:37] Gu
    That's my ideal end.
[17:40] Gu
    You understand that, right, Matagi Tanigaki?
[17:48] S
    An older man with an Ainu dog...
[17:51] S
    It might be the guy we saw earlier.
[17:53] Gu
    Oh, and one more thing.
[17:55] Gu
    He was asking a pelt trader
    something interesting.
[17:58] Gu
    "If I had a white wolf pelt,
    what would you pay for it?"
[18:01] A
    Why didn't you say that sooner?
[18:05] A
    It wasn't me...
[18:07] A
    They were after Retar.
[18:09] S
    Asirpa-san, let's wait for morning.
[18:12] S
    We need to rest.
[18:16] S
    It's here.
[18:18] S
    A clue to the gold's location...
[18:24] Gu
    At this point, he won't do much
    more than act as a hot water bottle.
[18:29] Gu
    You'll tell me if the wolf comes, right?
[18:41] Gu
    He got us.
[18:42] Gu
    Wolf droppings.
[18:44] Gu
    When...?
[18:45] Gu
    When we were bathing, I'm sure.
[18:50] Gu
    A "watching wolf"...
[18:53] Gu
    I've heard stories about wolves
    that track humans and watch them.
[18:59] Gu
    We were watched from the
    first moment we came here, huh?
[19:04] Gu
    My boner just won't stop.
[19:06] Gu
    When a watching wolf comes after you,
[19:08] Gu
    it's said you can discard what you're wearing,
[19:10] Gu
    and the wolf will stay focused
    on it, ignoring you.
[19:14] Gu
    It may be watching us right now.
[19:19] Gu
    It stinks!
[19:20] Gu
    What did you burn?
[19:22] Gu
    The droppings he left.
[19:24] Gu
    I'm going to make him obsessed with us.
[19:26] Gu
    Make him think we're intruders that he hates.
[19:29] Gu
    Watch carefully.
[19:31] Gu
    This is literally the last fire made with
    wolf droppings there'll ever be in Japan!
[19:38] A
    This is where we hunted that deer yesterday.
[19:45] Gu
    Both you and I have a murderous
    air about us that's too strong.
[19:48] Gu
    Maybe that's why the wolf found us.
[19:51] Gu
    There's a Matagi word called
    "kibake," to become a tree.
[19:55] Gu
    When you wait for your prey,
[19:57] Gu
    you become one with the trees
    around you to hide yourself.
[20:03] Gu
    "Kibake," huh?
[20:09] S
    That's them.
[20:10] Gu
    I can't see their faces
    unless they look this way.
[20:13] S
    Asirpa-san, back us up with your bow.
[20:19] A
    He knows what he's aiming at.
[20:24] A
    Is he aiming at something in particular?
[20:32] A
    Retar!
[20:33] A
    Stay back!
[20:35] Gu
    There he is.
[20:38] Gu
    What's wrong?
[20:39] Gu
    Come out!
[20:41] Gu
    He sensed my desire to kill, huh?
[20:44] Gu
    I have to control my emotions!
[20:46] Gu
    Kibake! Kibake!
[20:57] Gu
    Boner...
[21:05] Gu
    I was interrupted.
[21:07] S
    Throw that gun over here.
[21:11] Gu
    My kibake's ruined if it's that
    obvious you're ready to kill me.
[21:16] Gu
    This is him, right?
[21:18] Gu
    Yeah. That's Nihei Tetsuzou.
[21:21] Gu
    Shiraishi, huh?
[21:23] Gu
    You after my tattoo?
[21:26] Gu
    You gonna keep your hand on that rifle?
[21:29] Gu
    In the time it takes you to get
    a bullet out of your pouch,
[21:31] Gu
    pull back the bolt, and load it,
[21:33] Gu
    I'll have five rounds in your body.
[21:36] Gu
    Want to try it?
[21:38] Gu
    Let's see who survives on this mountain.
[21:41] S
    I'm immortal!
[21:46] Gu
    You did it, hot water bottle!
[22:00] Gu
    You're ready to be animal shit, right?
