Golden Kamuy (ゴールデンカムイ)

After hearing about the letter,

I finally realized the mankilling people

is a copycatof Jack the Ripper.

In which case,the killer may well vanish

if we can't trackhim down in time.

It appears we havelittle more than a month

to find and apprehend this man.

Anyway, there's beenanother development recently

that's caught my attention.

So you met him, then.

He's one of the escapedAbashiri convicts.

It seems likehe's headed towards Sapporo.

What's going on?I have a bad feeling about this.

Everybody elsewill be coming with me.

We'll be heading off to Sapporo!

GOLDEN KAMUY

There's a place nearby

that makesincredible curry rice.

Goes perfectwith some Sapporo beer.

You don't think we'd stand outbeing dressed like this?

Come one, come all.

I've got delicious candy!

What's wrong, Anji Toni?

I recognizedthat voice just now.

A friend of yours?- Ueji.

I remember him.

That devil is still alive?

Taro!

Taro!

Is somethingthe matter, young man?

My dog, Taro,ran away from home.

I think I saw youlooking for him yesterday, too.

Have you seen a white dogaround here?

Maybe, does he have a black spotnext to his nose?

Yeah, he does!That has to be Taro!

You're in luck!I just saw him over there!

Thanks, Mister.

I rememberthe first time Keiji Ueji came

to talk to me in prison.

He had just come infrom working outside.

According to him,somebody claiming to be my aunt

approached him to talk about me.

When he told me that,I was confused

because I didn't even knowI had an aunt.

Supposedly,she wanted to see me,

but her husbandworked with the government.

So she couldn'thave news getting out

that she was relatedto Botaro the Pirate.

And from then on,every once in a while,

Ueji would tell me he saw her

when he came backfrom work detail.

This would continue for years.

He'd check in and askif she ever came to see me.

So I waitedfor her to visit.

She was the only relative

I had left in this world,after all.

One day, I got assignedthe same cell

as Tatsuma Ushiyama,

who said he was chained upto Ueji during a work detail.

He told methey'd never been approached

by a woman like that before.

When I askedUeji about it,

he looked at meand broke down laughing.

There's nothing he loves

more thansomeone else's disappointment.

Is this where Taro was?

I don't see him anywhere.

I can't get enough of it.

Watching someone's facelight up with anticipation,

then seeingtheir expression twist

as their hopes are dashed.

Even after all these years,

I can still remembermy father's face,

full of disappointment.

To this day, it's the best thingI've ever seen.

W-where's Taro, Mister?

But it's not enough!

I could feel an itch in my brain

to discover a sighteven more satisfying.

Although, on the other hand,

my head is filled with fantasiesof killing boys like you

and buryingyour bodies underground!

I want to murderthe failure I was

before I received these tattoos.

I'll bury him!

Oh, Taro!

One side yearns to see a facestained by disappointment.

The other desiresto kill a sweet little boy.

And my poor brainis torn between the two.

What do you thinkI should do about this?

If I were to kill a young boy

experiencingthe greatest disappointment

of his short life,

I wonder if it'll makeit all go away!

And I wonderwhat face she'll make

when I break your damn spine.

Let's find out together,shall we?

Wait. What?

U-Uyishama?

Over there!

That lady's tits are so big,they're dragging on the ground!

-

I'll make your facelook like a squished octopus.

-

Whoopsies.

Hold on, if you let me live,

I'll show yousomething incredible.

If you're after berry gold,

you definitely don'twant to miss this, okay?

Fine, but it better be good!

But it's still funif only you get to hear it.

That was Ushiyamawho just ran by, wasn't it?

The curry riceis delicious, right?

-Oh, man. Whoopsies.

Someone's a little clumsy today.

Can we get another spoon here?

What the hell was that?

It seems we meet againyoung lady.

You're back, Dick-sensei!

Ushiyama?

Hey, that's enough!

I'd hate to lose either of you.

He's right, you two!

Killing each othermay not be the best plan!

At least try to talk it out!

Somebody, stop them!

Hey, Ushiyama.

I tried my best.

Knock it off, you guys!Stop fighting!

Kadokura, are you okay?

I think I might havesprained something.

Why did you even cometo Sapporo in the first place?

Ushiyama, stand aside.

I'm serious, you guys!

If you don't cut it out,

the police and the 7th Divisionwill show up!

Hey, Kirawus.

Ariko and Ogata shall bearound here somewhere.

You must go and get them.

Wait, Ogata?

Where isthat sneaky bastard?

Mister Hood!Ogata's here somewhere!

Do you remember him?It's this guy!

O-ga-ta!

He said my wildcat issomewhere around here?

Oh no! I need to getsome distance from it!

Just wait, my wildcat!

I crossed the seas to find you!

Wait, that's my gun!

Calm down, Mister Hood.

You aren't going to be killinganybody with that spoon.

Where's my wildcat?

Would you look at that?

If I were to pull this trigger,

I'm betting it would cause

a hell of a lot of chaosdown there.

What was that?

Asirpa, run and findsomewhere safe to hide!

You're going to pay for what youdid to us at Abashiri!

Because of you,I got separated from Asirpa.

If you hadn't meddled,Ogata wouldn't have shot me!

Huh? When did that happen?

I could have taken your lifein the prison at Abashiri.

I'd like to see you try, geezer!

I should've knownyou eventually proved

to be an obstacle for me.

Damn right I'm an obstacle.

You and Nopperabowant to turn Asirpa

into some sort of figureheadfor the Ainu.

You want to force her to fight

in a war for independence,don't you?

My thoughts on the matterare somewhat different from his.

We have no needfor women or children soldiers.

I will not force anyof the Ainu people

to fight in a warif they don't want to.

They'll be free to livepeacefully in the mountains.

Good, then there's no reasonfor you two to kill each other.

I need to know.

If the future you wantto build comes to pass,

what happens to the Ainu people?

At the current rateof depletion,

the lumber resourcesof Hokkaido won't last.

I plan to make coal mining

the economic foundationof the Ezo Republic.

I would bring in foreignersfrom the outside

to develop the mines

and use those resourcesto make our nation powerful.

The Yamato people havemostly kept to themselves

on the mainland.

But the Ainu have coexisted

alongside other minority groupsof the far east,

as well as the Russians,for generations.

They're the ke to forminga nation of all peoples.

Think of the Hokkaido Ainuand the Karufuto Ainu.

As well as the blue-eyed Poles

that have oppressed bythe Czars of Russia for years.

Asirpa, you share the bloodof all these minority peoples,

which makes youthe perfect candidate

to lead such a multiculturalnation into the future.
