Golden Kamuy (ゴールデンカムイ)

Khorosho!

Asirpa!

Who the hell is she?

Call our comrades!

They should be close!

The main force in Otaru, too!

She was speaking Russian.

Those two weren't Japanese either.

Their weapons were Swiss.

I saw that woman in the Otaru hospital.

They followed us all the way from Ako Prison?!

They probably followed Asirpa, I'm sure...

But they seem to have it out for us.

Shall we kill her before she wakes up?

No, we take her prisoner to learn what she knows.

If she's with Kiroranke, there should be more of her friends nearby.

Our encampment at Tsukisappu is a long ways away, and it's dangerous.

We're changing plans.

First, we hide Asirpa somewhere safe nearby.

Hurry!

Episode Fifty-Four: Pinky Bone

Sugimoto, get on!

Good work, Shiraishi!

Go! Floor it! Floor it!

What are you doing, Shiraishi?!

The cat's going faster than us!

Get to the back!

I'll drive!

Do you know how?

How do I speed this up?!

Argh!

I think it's the lever and the left pedal...

Sorry, Botaro...

Hey, Shiraishi.

You seen that guy with the two pistols before?

Nope, never seen him.

Did Botaro say anything before he died?

"Don't forget me. Tell your kids about me."

He talked all that crap about wanting to be a king...

But I think in the end,

he just wanted to get back the family and homeland he lost.

So you never heard anything about the Ainu from him?

No, he told me everything.

Koito, Tsukishima, Kikuta, go find our men who were separated from us.

Don't come back until you've eliminated the pursuers.

These guerrillas fought the Russian empire.

Don't underestimate them.

Sofia...

Lieutenant Tsurumi, we found this in the woman's things.

Four men on foot have arrived at the rendezvous point.

The three on horseback should've arrived long ago...

We'll split up and look for them.

Wait here, Lieutenant Koito.

They may show up.

Are you okay, Hijikata-san?

We'll get back Asirpa!

Find the 7th Division!

We're going after Sofia.

What the hell are you doing here?

Are you trying to spy on Lt. Tsurumi?!

What about you, Lieutenant Koito?

You say to believe in you, and your belief in Lieutenant Tsurumi!

But you don't believe him, do you?

No, I believe in him!

Don't just decide that.

So why did you say...

There was a tattooed prisoner underground, but he escaped.

Until now, you've spoken with a fast Satsuma accent.

You stopped believing in him at some point, without even realizing it, right?

Nikaido!

I want you to stand watch outside.

Hide someplace far away so you won't be spotted.

Yes, sir!

Even if the others come back, keep them away.

Strengthen our defense outside.

He just checked that there was no one outside.

Is there something he doesn't want heard?

That was definitely Lieutenant Koito, right?

Yeah, he went into that church.

I'm sure Asirpa-chan is inside.

Want to break in and save her?

No, we'll bring Hijikata and the others.

We're at too much of a disadvantage with just one gun.

But we need to hurry.

He can't trust any information he learns through torture.

Lieutenant Tsurumi's going to take his time to put pressure on her.

We don't know that.

He was acting a little crazy in Karafuto.

Yeah, that's right.

You want to bust in there right now even more than I do.

Okay, let's hurry and bring reinforcements!

Asirpa!

I'll take this off, but you mustn't scream.

I don't want to have to get violent.

There we go. A brave Ainu girl, hachimaki wrapped around her head.

We didn't get to talk enough at Karafuto, Asirpa.

And... Sofia Goldenhand.

The "Golden Hand." Quite the title.

The people see you as the shining golden hand, the noble thief.

But you're also the cursed golden hand,

who's sacrificed many people for the sake of the revolution.

I had a feeling I'd run into you again!

Who are you?

I should expect you wouldn't recognize me.

We've both changed.

Has it been... 17 years?

Can you remember me at all?

Zoya-san.

Have you forgotten my family, too?

Unfortunately, I burned all the photos that day.

Only these finger bones are left to prove they ever lived.

My daughter, Olga.

And my wife, Fina.

Hasegawa-san?!

Thank you, for remembering us.

That's Aca and Kiroranke Nispa.

A photo taken in Russia?

Lieutenant Tsurumi had a wife and daughter?

We found in Kiroranke's belongings letters

proving he was in communication with Sofia in Ako Prison.

What I know, and what you learned from Kiroranke...

Why don't we put it all together and share it with Asirpa?

Who killed the Ainu?

Why did Wilk have to die?

Let us be the ones... to remove her pain.

Vladivostok

1897

Do you know what the word Vladivostok means?

Rule the Far East.

The only warm water port in the Russian far east.

A military port that can be used all year round.

An important point of conquest for Japan.
