Shiraishi, pick up that gun!
Give it to me.
Ow!
You stupid pup!
Don't move a muscle, Nihei Tetsuzou!
You throw down your weapon!
You bastard...
Don't use her as a hostage!
Let her go!
Stay back!
That's a coward's way of fighting!
Using an innocent girl as a hostage...
That's a lie.
She had one of the tattooed skins.
Don't tell me she's innocent.
I'm not worth that much to him.
He'll shoot me when he's done with me.
We shouldn't fight. Instead, we should both retreat.
Don't believe her.
Women are scary, Tanigaki.
Throw down your damn gun!
I'm willing to have a gunfight with her standing between us!
Shiraishi...
I'm sorry.
Put it down.
Don't let her see this.
Take her someplace far away.
All right.
Tanigaki, toss me something to tie them up with.
Take her somewhere far enough away that she can't hear the screams.
Stop!
Don't kill them!
Sugimoto!
Shiraishi!
Let me go!
Huh?
The Escape King...
I forgot about him.
We escaped, but what do we do now?
We're unarmed!
We sneak up on them,
catch them off guard,
and get Asirpa-san back!

Tanigaki! The other two got away!
Sugimoto!
Quiet.
I'm at a disadvantage in the forest.
I need to get out into a clearing where I can see.
Stay quiet.
Don't go this way!
It's a deer trap!
There's an amappo!
Untie me!
That arrowhead's coated with wolfsbane.
The poison is still in your body.
If you don't hurry, you'll run out of time!
My leg feels like it's on fire.
Ainu poisons don't have antidotes.
The only way to survive it is to cut out the poisoned flesh.
I don't care.
Do it!
Which way did they go?
This way, fool.
He fell for an arrow trap, huh?
I cut out the surrounding flesh, too,
but I don't know if he'll survive.
Let's put an end to this.
We didn't come here to kill each other.
Tanigaki, wait here.
I promise I'll take down the white wolf.
He's obsessed...
If what he said is true, you can bring the wolf here, can't you?
I can't let them have you yet.
Let me go!
Put me down!
Retar is the last wolf!
Would you let the last of the noble Horkewkamuy die just for some filthy money?
Wolves are already extinct.
Their race will never recover.
The sin of letting them go extinct
is one that everyone who lives in this land shares.
The money doesn't matter.
I want to be the last hunter to ever see an Ezo wolf.
I don't care if you scream,
but if you bite your tongue, it won't do anything but hurt.
You won't be able to die, so don't even try.
I'm not going to kill myself.
I just don't want Retar to become a Wenkamuy.
Is that the thing where if they kill a human,
they become evil gods that go to hell?
Don't worry.
Humans aren't that valuable.
This a is battle between two beasts.
But I'll be the only survivor.
I'll end this in a single shot, so he won't suffer.
Wow! It really came!
Unbelievable!
It's running in a way that makes it so I can't aim!
Does it understand what a gun is?
Wonderful!
You are truly worthy of being the last wolf!
Stay away, Retar!
Come here!
I win!
Good boy, Ryuu.
You did a pretty good job, for a hot water bottle.
I see...
They were a couple, huh?
I guess to a wife,
a battle between two men doesn't matter.
Women really are scary.
But...
I'm satisfied.
Retar... you have a family?
The ones who called you on that night were...
"May you be born again and hear pleasant sounds."
We're seriously taking them?
We can't leave them when they're almost dead.
And the Ainu dog will stay there forever if we don't take him.
I'm tired.
I'm resting here until Sugimoto catches up.
Golden Kamuy
Sinna kisar.
What?
She says you have weird ears.
You sure about this?
Well, if my partner wants to save him,
I won't interfere.
If he tries something again, I'll deal with him.
Now, let's eat.
This is deer meat stew, yukohaw.
Hinna, hinna.
Even stewed, deer meat is hinna.
Yeah, it sure is hinna.
I hope Sugimoto doesn't put any osoma into it again...
I hope Sugimoto doesn't put any osoma into the stew again.
Oh, miso, right?
Again, Sugimoto?
You sure love your osoma!
Jeez!
Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!
What is this?
It hurts!
Is there something sweet coming out of your head, Shiraishi?
The osoma's so good!
Something sweet?
It's not poop, okay?
Stop it...
I don't care if it's sweet, just stop.
This is salmon ruype.
You hang raw meat or fish off a tree to freeze it.
It's half-frozen and has this weird texture.
It just melts in your mouth...
It's good!
Ruype means "melted food."
I see!
It's cold up here, so it's natural for it to be frozen.
We survive because
of the fish of the gods.
But at some point, the fish of the gods stopped coming up the river.
It's because the men tainted the river in their search for gold.
What did she say?
That was a paskuma, or myth, of Huci's about salmon.
The same thing happened in Hidaka, Kushiro, Shiraoi... a lot of places.
Each village sent someone by ship over the seas to gather all the gold in one place.
That went on for years,
so we couldn't catch any salmon,
and our lives got more difficult.
The Ainu all held a meeting
and agreed to stop gathering the gold.
The gold was hidden so that no one could fight over it,
and it was forbidden to speak of it.
Everyone involved grew old,
and eventually only one old man in our village knew of the treasure's whereabouts.
And that old man was killed by Nopperabo.
Wait a second.
Is that the buried treasure?
It was gathered over years from all over Hokkaido?
I've never heard this paskuma, either.
If that's true,
there may be even more than the 20 kans we were told about!
It's more than you can even imagine.
Just like she said,
the story of the gold is passed on in secret across the land by the Ainu.
Our commander was an intelligence officer,
and skilled in gathering and analyzing information.
Lt. Tsurumi?
Nopperabo wanted to make sure nobody could find the gold by the path used to escape,
so he passed out false information.
Anybody could carry off 20 kans by themselves.
But there's actually...
More than you could ever carry.
Lt. Tsurumi thinks there's 1,000 times as much gold as the prisoners were told about.
Twenty thousand kans!
This Tsurumi's a bit of a strange one.
He said he was going to take over the main 7th Division in Asahikawa,
but what will he do then?
Start a coup?
If you had that much gold,
wouldn't you just split it with your friends and live a life of luxury?
Why would he want to take over the 7th Division's HQ?
The Siege of Port Arthur, probably.
The sound of the maxim guns, like the marching music of death itself...
I wish I could let the ones who made us launch
this useless attack hear it up close.
Throw a grenade!
Yes, sir.
Forgive me.
Forward!
We won,
but by the time 203 Hill was taken,
over half the 7th were casualties.
The chief of staff was obsessed with a frontal assault to enhance his own glory,
and committed suicide in remorse for the casualties he'd caused.
The government blamed the rest of the division for his suicide,
and not only did we receive no money and no medals,
we were treated like outcasts by the rest of the army.
But...
We'll create a military dictatorship,
which I will lead!
We can't just pass out the gold to everyone.
We'll use it to open up a weapons factory in resource-rich Hokkaido.
Right?
Good guns are expensive.
If you want to stay under budget, that's the best you'll be able to get.
Tsurumi-san, if you want to use that gold to build a weapons factory, you should hurry.
I'll buy up your weapons and sell them all over the world.
Japanese weapons are well-made.
And war is very profitable.
Children who have lost their fathers!
Fathers who have lost their sons!
Wives who have lost their husbands!
We'll give them all stable, steady work.
We'll save them from spending their lives
starving and freezing as they till the cold ground!
That is the least we can do for those of our comrades who died!
I don't know why you want the gold,
but I'm sure it's nothing compared to the burden Lt. Tsurumi bears.
Hey, Sugimoto.
You're not going to stop because of what you just heard, right?
No...
He's done so much damage. Even killed his own men.
Working with him isn't an option at this point.
But I'm not letting him have it, either.
That's my Sugimoto.
I'm keeping my promise to my partner. That's all.
Women!
Beast.
Someone will call the police.
The forced labor in Abashiri Prison was so brutal that some died.
But he said it was making him lazy.
Nagakura, call Ushiyama.
Let's go into town.
I'm sorry!
You should think more about who you pick fights with!
Move.
Okay, I'll be back.
You old men go drink some tea or something.
You keep talking like that, and I'll slice your guts open.
Scary.
I can see why they said you were the strongest swordsman in the Shinsengumi.
Cut him some slack.
If you don't let Ushiyama sleep with a woman once in a while, he gets unstable.
He might not just go after the ladies in the neighborhood. He might go after you.
Hey, mister.
You back?
I don't have anything new to tell you, but stop in and have some fun.
All the girls at your place are ugly!
You really piss me off.
I guess I'll do some "questioning" at a more expensive brothel than usual today.
Gotta find that gold, after all!
Hey, Shiraishi Yoshitake.
Why are you running, Shiraishi?
Let's have a little chat!
Shit! Shit!
I ran into Ushiyama of all people!
Hey, big guy!
The man you're looking for is right there!
He's the one who punched the whore and hurt her!
What?
That bastard?
Fine, I'll kick his ass!
A fight! A fight!
Get him!
I'll help!
Damn it!
They didn't even slow him down!
Yes!
He's gotta be dead now!
Get out of the way!
It didn't work!
There's no stopping him!
How can I stop that raging bull?
The 7th Division!
What's wrong? Why so scared?
Something's strange about you.
Does anybody have a list of warrants?
H-Help me!
He said I stole his money at the baths, and now he's coming after me!
I'm being chased by a man with weird tattoos who isn't a yakuza!
