WEBVTT
00:01.260 --> 00:05.370
Why does Goryoukaku take
the shape of a star?
00:05.590 --> 00:08.060
The answer is: for war.
00:08.060 --> 00:10.550
It was based on the design
of the bastion fort,
00:10.550 --> 00:16.510
which was invented in Europe while
Japan was in the Muromachi period.
00:17.020 --> 00:20.510
The place we're standing
on is the bastion.
00:20.950 --> 00:23.720
From this location, for instance,
00:23.720 --> 00:28.150
we have a clear view of that bridge
and the stone wall behind it,
00:28.150 --> 00:31.610
along with the bridge
and the bastion wall.
00:32.480 --> 00:35.210
The bastion wall on the right, as well.
00:35.210 --> 00:39.450
We can strike approaching enemies
from the side and eliminate them.
00:40.070 --> 00:41.200
I see.
00:41.590 --> 00:44.830
By deploying troops in each bastion,
00:44.830 --> 00:50.840
we can attack our foes in any
direction, without any blind spots.
00:51.120 --> 00:54.220
The shape of the fortress
is specialized for war.
00:54.550 --> 00:57.020
But we can't use it like this.
00:57.020 --> 00:58.890
We need trenches.
00:59.160 --> 01:00.810
Indeed.
01:00.810 --> 01:05.890
Those who have experienced the new
age of war understand such things.
01:06.380 --> 01:09.900
While we wait for Sofia
and her men to arrive,
01:09.900 --> 01:13.280
we will search for the gold
and prepare for combat.
02:21.360 --> 02:28.310
Golden Kamuy
02:44.340 --> 02:49.310
Episode Fifty-Nine
Our Kamuy
02:52.430 --> 02:53.670
I found something!
02:55.350 --> 02:56.850
A rock, huh?
02:59.820 --> 03:01.680
I'm exhausted.
03:02.360 --> 03:07.110
I'm pretty sure they hid it
in the moat, not a building.
03:07.490 --> 03:11.100
But the old man said, "Dig here, doggy."
03:11.520 --> 03:14.310
You've got something that makes
you think it's here, right?
03:15.770 --> 03:19.640
You're still hiding things
from us at this point?
03:19.640 --> 03:21.990
I'm not one of your soldiers, you know!
03:27.090 --> 03:30.610
I found a lot of sandbags in a storehouse.
03:32.070 --> 03:32.810
Huh?
03:33.330 --> 03:34.320
They're here!
03:46.850 --> 03:56.520
God
03:47.090 --> 03:50.650
The character for god on my tattoo.
03:51.010 --> 03:56.520
When we laid out the code, it landed
right on the storehouses here.
03:57.170 --> 04:00.380
There must be something buried here.
04:09.120 --> 04:10.660
Another rock, huh?
04:11.170 --> 04:15.080
Does the god character
really mean anything?
04:16.110 --> 04:17.580
No idea...
04:17.580 --> 04:20.550
God
04:18.090 --> 04:19.870
But the fact is,
04:19.870 --> 04:23.800
there's no other character with a
similar reading, like shin or jin.
04:23.800 --> 04:26.300
3:30 AM
04:31.730 --> 04:32.950
It's not a rock!
04:35.850 --> 04:37.770
I found something!
04:39.030 --> 04:40.400
Just this box?
04:40.400 --> 04:43.490
There must be more buried below
it, obviously! You idiot!
04:43.490 --> 04:46.280
Open it up already! Hurry!
04:48.150 --> 04:50.830
What's this? Soil? Sand?
04:52.390 --> 04:53.330
Cietoi.
04:53.850 --> 04:56.040
Powdered diatomaceous earth.
04:56.040 --> 04:57.870
That can't be all that's here!
04:59.760 --> 05:00.910
What's this?
05:01.320 --> 05:02.460
Paper?
05:03.530 --> 05:05.230
An animal stomach.
05:05.630 --> 05:07.930
We use them for holding
oils and other things.
05:08.360 --> 05:11.680
So they've done everything they can
to make sure the contents stayed dry.
05:13.430 --> 05:14.680
A book?
05:14.680 --> 05:16.400
What does it say?
05:16.400 --> 05:18.190
Let the old men read it!
05:20.670 --> 05:21.900
What's this?
05:22.310 --> 05:24.210
Land deeds.
05:25.080 --> 05:27.990
About the time our deal with
the Russian navy broke down,
05:27.990 --> 05:32.950
a government called the
"Ezo Republic" existed in Hakodate.
05:33.420 --> 05:36.580
They needed money to fight.
05:37.030 --> 05:43.050
So we met with a Nispa named Enomoto
Takeaki from the Ezo Republic,
05:43.050 --> 05:49.760
and traded gold for a treaty
recognizing Ainu land rights.
05:50.040 --> 05:52.260
Land deeds bought with the gold?
05:52.260 --> 05:55.250
Where's the land? How big is it?
05:56.430 --> 05:57.660
Look at this.
05:57.660 --> 06:01.650
Vast tracts of land,
spread all throughout Hokkaido.
06:02.370 --> 06:05.610
There's no way Hijikata Toshizou
wouldn't know about this.
06:05.960 --> 06:07.850
I didn't, actually.
06:08.170 --> 06:13.280
About the time this treaty was
made, I was busy fighting.
06:13.280 --> 06:16.190
I spent very little time at Goryoukaku.
06:16.630 --> 06:21.210
Just as we were about to hand over the
gold, the Hakodate War came to an end,
06:21.570 --> 06:24.170
and the Ezo Republic ceased to exist.
06:24.620 --> 06:26.570
But Enomoto-san worked with the
06:26.570 --> 06:30.930
Meiji government to ensure the treaty
with the Ainu would remain enforced.
06:31.480 --> 06:35.180
The Meiji government wanted
the gold too, so they agreed.
06:35.470 --> 06:39.560
They assumed, foolishly,
that they could abrogate it later.
06:39.840 --> 06:44.450
But Enomoto-san had actually
had the ambassadors
06:44.060 --> 06:45.020
Netherlands
06:44.060 --> 06:46.780
France
06:44.060 --> 06:48.380
England
06:44.450 --> 06:48.990
of six countries be
present for its signing.
06:45.150 --> 06:48.990
America
06:46.690 --> 06:48.990
Italy
06:48.280 --> 06:48.990
Prussia
06:49.330 --> 06:52.510
It was clearly made out to
be an international treaty,
06:52.510 --> 06:56.160
one that could not be easily abandoned.
06:56.520 --> 07:00.160
Perhaps this was his way of repaying
the Ainu for their support of him,
07:00.530 --> 07:02.410
or perhaps he knew the war was lost,
07:02.410 --> 07:06.500
and only wanted to make one last
problem for the government.
07:06.790 --> 07:10.510
The deed book contains a detailed
record of its own history,
07:10.510 --> 07:16.990
and entrusts the landowners,
the Ainu, to decide how the land is used.
07:17.910 --> 07:21.940
The Meiji government wouldn't
want this getting out.
07:21.940 --> 07:27.020
Wait, does this mean the gold is gone?!
07:27.400 --> 07:28.860
Wonderful.
07:29.240 --> 07:33.580
My daughter will live as an Ainu, and
this is the greatest gift I can give her.
07:34.460 --> 07:37.120
I thought that this was
all we could do, too.
07:37.410 --> 07:41.620
That the only thing we could do with
the gold was buy forested land.
07:42.030 --> 07:45.900
That this was the only way to
protect the Ainu without fighting.
07:47.450 --> 07:49.800
If we protect the forests,
we can protect the kamuy.
07:50.300 --> 07:53.300
Our culture can't exist
without the kamuy.
07:54.200 --> 07:58.940
The thing I had finally figured out,
what I could do for the Ainu...
08:00.600 --> 08:06.200
The old Ainu had already accomplished it!
08:06.870 --> 08:09.730
The golden kamuy that I was
told would bring disaster...
08:10.220 --> 08:13.970
was the kamuy we really needed!
08:16.720 --> 08:19.410
I'm so disappointed I can't even stand.
08:22.280 --> 08:26.590
But why'd Wilk hide the deed book here?
08:26.590 --> 08:28.210
He could've taken it with him.
08:28.600 --> 08:31.030
Perhaps someone was after it.
08:31.030 --> 08:32.340
Kiroranke, maybe?
08:33.400 --> 08:35.050
But stealing the book wouldn't...
08:35.050 --> 08:39.810
Wilk's code led me to the deed book.
08:40.290 --> 08:45.520
But there was nothing in our
discussion about protecting forests.
08:45.520 --> 08:52.290
Did the Ainu make the land treaty to
protect their forests in the first place?
08:53.050 --> 08:58.030
Leaving behind the Kamuy wouldn't
make the Ezo Republic more powerful.
08:58.490 --> 09:02.080
Don't you think Wilk left
this behind because he wanted
09:02.350 --> 09:04.960
the land's resources to be developed?
09:06.320 --> 09:07.420
Asirpa...
09:07.770 --> 09:11.390
What Wilk said... What Yulbars said...
09:11.790 --> 09:13.630
Forget it all.
09:14.280 --> 09:15.630
Sofia.
09:17.680 --> 09:19.850
There's nothing left for us here.
09:21.360 --> 09:25.550
We have two hours until Lieutenant
Tsurumi and his men arrive.
09:25.550 --> 09:26.850
We need to get out of here now!
09:27.370 --> 09:30.270
We need to tell the ones
working on our defenses!
09:30.270 --> 09:32.650
Hurry! Kantarou, head
to the east entrance!
09:36.510 --> 09:38.410
I'm crying so much I can't see.
09:38.810 --> 09:40.160
I can't walk.
09:40.160 --> 09:41.910
Hang in there, Shiraishi.
09:42.240 --> 09:45.250
Hijikata Nispa. I'll take the book.
09:47.650 --> 09:49.170
Hijikata Nispa?
09:50.490 --> 09:52.880
Only half was used!
09:57.000 --> 10:03.680
It says that 37,125 kilograms of
gold were given to Enomoto Takeaki.
10:04.120 --> 10:08.690
Nopperabo told me there
was 75,000 kilograms.
10:09.530 --> 10:13.730
So a bit over half of
it's still out there?
10:13.730 --> 10:17.690
Half the gold's still out there somewhere!
10:16.290 --> 10:17.690
Calm down, Shiraishi!
10:22.390 --> 10:23.780
Get to the trenches!
10:28.710 --> 10:30.320
Lieutenant Tsurumi's men?
10:30.320 --> 10:31.630
But it's too soon!
10:31.870 --> 10:33.320
Look out at the sea.
10:33.320 --> 10:34.460
Something's in the sky.
10:34.840 --> 10:36.770
Military air balloons!
10:36.770 --> 10:38.470
They're watching us?
10:38.970 --> 10:41.930
So that was gunfire from a ship?!
10:42.490 --> 10:44.120
They came in their destroyers!
10:44.930 --> 10:48.480
The minute Lieutenant Tsurumi
began to crack the code,
10:48.750 --> 10:52.100
he also contacted Ominato
naval base in Aomori,
10:52.100 --> 10:53.600
where Koito's father was located,
10:52.100 --> 10:54.480
Ominato
10:53.600 --> 10:56.570
so that he could quickly get to
the gold no matter where it was.
10:56.570 --> 11:02.510
Sapporo
10:56.570 --> 11:03.260
Sugimoto Route (Hakodate Line)
10:56.920 --> 11:00.650
He went from Sapporo Station
to Muroran station,
10:57.500 --> 11:03.590
Muroran
10:57.500 --> 11:04.070
Tsurumi Muroran Line)
11:00.650 --> 11:06.080
and took a destroyer waiting
at the port to Hakodate port!
11:02.090 --> 11:04.070
Hakodate
11:03.220 --> 11:04.070
Ominato
11:08.190 --> 11:09.080
Yes!
11:10.360 --> 11:12.610
Good morning!
11:13.270 --> 11:18.090
Golden Kamuy
11:22.290 --> 11:23.840
What's he doing?
11:27.830 --> 11:29.810
Kadokura! Take care of the rest!
11:30.140 --> 11:31.600
Where's he going?
11:35.890 --> 11:37.230
Somebody's here.
11:37.520 --> 11:40.240
Don't shoot! I want to
talk to Lieutenant Tsurumi.
11:40.550 --> 11:43.800
Did he go to surrender on his own?
11:43.800 --> 11:45.430
Of course not!
11:46.220 --> 11:47.240
Probably not.
11:47.720 --> 11:50.770
Anyway, it's too late to retreat.
11:51.090 --> 11:52.990
We'll have to fight as best we can.
11:52.990 --> 11:54.540
Let's go, Kirawus.
11:57.710 --> 12:01.470
Is their plan to use those big
cannons to flatten Goryoukaku?
12:01.750 --> 12:03.340
We need to get out of here.
12:03.650 --> 12:08.970
They're lying in wait to attack
anyone who runs from the cannons.
12:09.330 --> 12:10.930
This place has three exits,
12:10.930 --> 12:15.440
and I'm sure they have lots of
soldiers hidden beyond the bridges.
12:15.690 --> 12:18.980
Only 16 army soldiers can
ride along on a destroyer.
12:19.310 --> 12:22.430
Even if they brought all four
destroyers that we saw at Abashiri,
12:22.430 --> 12:23.530
that's 64 people.
12:24.040 --> 12:27.070
They may not have many stationed
except at the exits!
12:27.070 --> 12:30.270
All the more reason to leave now, then.
12:30.270 --> 12:31.410
No, wait!
12:31.690 --> 12:35.580
Wilk said the prisoners
would get half the gold!
12:36.060 --> 12:42.460
Let's figure out if the other half
is in Goryoukaku before we run!
12:42.710 --> 12:46.600
Indeed... after all these
complicated riddles,
12:46.600 --> 12:51.100
he can't have hidden it
somewhere else in Hokkaido.
12:51.100 --> 12:55.320
I can't die before I see
the gold for myself!
12:55.320 --> 12:56.560
Calm down, Shiraishi!
12:58.350 --> 13:00.770
The cannon fire stopped.
13:01.310 --> 13:03.130
There was no gold.
13:03.840 --> 13:07.780
I wondered what the famous Nagakura
Shinpachi was going to say.
13:08.040 --> 13:12.200
Do you expect me to say,
"Oh, too bad, then," and just go home?
13:13.910 --> 13:19.870
I can simply use my destroyers'
cannons to blow you all to pieces,
13:19.870 --> 13:22.090
sweep aside the pile of gore,
13:22.350 --> 13:24.380
and see for myself whether it's there.
13:24.870 --> 13:29.090
We found the deed to land in Hokkaido,
which the Ainu bought with gold.
13:31.090 --> 13:35.060
The result of a treaty between
the Ainu and Ezo Republic.
13:35.440 --> 13:38.810
If you were an intelligence officer,
you should know something about this.
13:38.810 --> 13:44.440
Ministry of Finance Home Ministry
13:39.470 --> 13:41.190
About how the Meiji government
13:41.190 --> 13:44.910
seemed to have a lot of extra
money after the Battle of Hakodate.
13:44.910 --> 13:49.120
Or something that didn't make
sense about the huge cost of the
13:49.120 --> 13:50.830
Russo-Japanese War.
13:51.470 --> 13:55.190
The deed book says that the
Ainu have the right to use
13:55.190 --> 13:57.230
their land as they see fit.
13:57.570 --> 14:00.310
It has the rights to a huge
expanse of Hokkaido land.
14:00.720 --> 14:04.780
The forests can be turned into
fertile land, perfect for farming,
14:04.780 --> 14:07.800
and vast mineral resources
sleep beneath them...
14:08.090 --> 14:09.500
And the name on the deed?
14:09.500 --> 14:10.390
None.
14:10.720 --> 14:15.130
It simply says the Ainu have the right
to use the land, and no one else.
14:15.130 --> 14:19.450
But it's worth something to you, as well.
14:19.450 --> 14:24.940
The 7th has many Ainu soldiers,
like Ariko Ipopte, right?
14:27.010 --> 14:31.110
Please, spare the lives of everyone
in exchange for the deed book.
14:31.600 --> 14:36.330
Hijikata Toshizou is driven
by one thing: battle.
14:36.710 --> 14:38.620
As the second in command
of the Shinsengumi,
14:38.620 --> 14:43.130
he's looking for a place to have
one last grand battle and die.
14:43.580 --> 14:50.180
He was lucky enough to survive
the hopeless Battle of Hakodate.
14:50.180 --> 14:54.010
But now he's eager to find a place to die.
14:54.240 --> 14:59.520
I promise I'll go back to Goryoukaku
and persuade him to surrender.
15:01.020 --> 15:05.230
Nagakura-san, please, get off the ground.
15:05.580 --> 15:11.090
You're hoping to use the deed book
to get me to stop firing the cannons,
15:11.090 --> 15:16.610
then go back to Goryoukaku and fight
alongside Hijikata Toshizou, right?
15:16.930 --> 15:19.000
You cunning old man.
15:19.550 --> 15:23.960
You, Nagakura Shinpachi, are more eager
to have one last fight than anyone!
15:23.960 --> 15:27.630
You're a survivor of
those crazy Shinsengumi!
15:28.630 --> 15:31.550
Stop with the bad acting.
15:31.920 --> 15:35.550
I'm good at seeing through people's lies.
15:37.830 --> 15:41.390
Then did you figure out how
much of what I said was true?
16:04.640 --> 16:08.370
Lieutenant Tsurumi's men who couldn't
fit on the destroyers
16:08.370 --> 16:10.440
will be coming here by train, right?
16:10.760 --> 16:13.010
They should be here any minute.
16:13.280 --> 16:15.680
The cannon fire's stopped.
16:15.980 --> 16:18.930
Why don't we at least get
the young lady out of here?
16:19.260 --> 16:22.020
She can take the deed book, too.
16:22.020 --> 16:23.610
Sounds good to me.
16:23.610 --> 16:27.740
That book's not going to
do me a damn bit of good.
16:27.740 --> 16:29.520
Don't you all agree?
16:29.520 --> 16:31.450
We've finally made it all this way,
16:31.450 --> 16:34.280
and the gold might be beneath our feet!
16:34.510 --> 16:36.660
I can't just give up!
16:39.890 --> 16:41.380
I'll stay here too.
16:41.380 --> 16:44.910
I want to be useful to everyone,
and I have to see this to the end.
16:46.640 --> 16:47.730
Young lady.
16:49.340 --> 16:54.670
If it looks bad, I'll get
Asirpa-san somewhere safe.
16:55.390 --> 16:56.630
Hijikata-san!
16:57.610 --> 17:00.560
Nagakura-san let himself be caught!
17:00.560 --> 17:03.310
He told me to "take care of the rest"!
17:03.310 --> 17:08.310
It might be thanks to him
that the attacks stopped.
17:08.570 --> 17:11.320
Anyway, I'll follow the plan.
17:23.730 --> 17:26.000
Okay, hurry and go.
17:26.710 --> 17:28.790
Please, stay safe.
17:32.430 --> 17:35.230
Let's go, Kirawus! Mansur!
17:36.640 --> 17:40.270
If you sent Kadokura on
that suicide mission,
17:40.270 --> 17:43.180
then it means we're staying
here to fight, right?
17:43.180 --> 17:44.270
Why?
17:44.840 --> 17:51.630
Asirpa, staying will teach
you what your father felt.
17:52.080 --> 17:56.360
A wind of fortune brought
to us by a very lucky man
17:56.620 --> 18:00.140
is about to bring us victory.
18:04.060 --> 18:06.120
Wow, lots of flies today.
18:06.120 --> 18:08.250
Those aren't flies, Kadokura!
18:11.670 --> 18:13.460
The soldiers who came by train!
18:13.770 --> 18:17.670
A minute later and we'd have
been completely surrounded.
18:24.630 --> 18:29.420
So it was thanks to you
that the cannons stopped.
18:29.420 --> 18:32.020
I don't know how long it will last.
18:32.540 --> 18:36.630
But I've left a seed that will
make Lieutenant Tsurumi hesitate about
18:36.630 --> 18:39.180
doing any large-scale attacks.
18:40.510 --> 18:43.450
We brought Onuma dumplings, the famous
snack from Onuma Park Station.
18:44.600 --> 18:45.660
A deed book?
18:45.950 --> 18:47.810
You believe this?
18:47.810 --> 18:48.790
It's a bluff!
18:49.080 --> 18:51.660
We can't be so sure.
18:51.660 --> 18:56.690
The Meiji government should have been
flat broke after the Battle of Hakodate,
18:56.690 --> 19:00.430
but they immediately began the grand
redevelopment of Tokyo, the new capital.
19:00.910 --> 19:06.180
A water and sewage system. The large-scale
railways. The brick town of Ginza.
19:06.470 --> 19:10.320
And the huge beer factories
built in Yokohama, Sapporo,
19:10.320 --> 19:14.310
Tokyo, and Osaka, one after another.
19:14.690 --> 19:19.280
They say the liquor tax alone was enough
to pay for the Sino-Japanese War.
19:19.670 --> 19:21.030
The Russo-Japanese War was
19:21.030 --> 19:24.360
also supposedly paid for with huge
loans from foreign countries.
19:24.360 --> 19:26.030
But who knows if that's true.
19:26.350 --> 19:31.650
Before the war, not a single
country expected Japan to win.
19:32.040 --> 19:34.800
But there's no way General Okuda
wouldn't have known about it.
19:35.180 --> 19:38.640
Does this mean his goal was to get rid of
this unfortunate contract with the Ainu,
19:38.640 --> 19:42.400
and he simply used the
gold as bait for us?
19:42.780 --> 19:47.640
Well, I'll see for myself if
the deed book is even real.
19:47.910 --> 19:52.390
I'll give Hijikata Toshizou
the fight he wants.
19:54.010 --> 19:57.190
It's time for the Battle of Goryoukaku.
19:57.810 --> 19:59.860
Dig around here.
19:59.860 --> 20:01.110
Why here?
20:01.110 --> 20:07.130
Kadokura's tattoos had an
important clue that led us here.
20:07.450 --> 20:11.620
It was so long ago that even
I'd forgotten about it.
20:12.790 --> 20:14.370
They can't see us from
those balloons, right?
20:14.680 --> 20:17.090
The pine trees hide us perfectly.
20:19.840 --> 20:20.670
Hurry!
20:26.330 --> 20:27.100
A lid?
20:27.100 --> 20:30.180
Open it, now! Now!
20:35.840 --> 20:37.520
A well for horses.
20:38.010 --> 20:44.530
I'm probably the only man
alive today who remembers it.
20:47.780 --> 20:49.600
It's dangerous! Calm down!
20:49.600 --> 20:51.790
Calm down, Shiraishi! You're crazy!
20:52.880 --> 20:56.290
Asirpa-san, let's go down together.
20:57.330 --> 20:58.290
Yeah.
21:02.670 --> 21:03.670
Well?
21:06.950 --> 21:08.890
There are bags everywhere!
21:11.440 --> 21:13.450
Let's open one in front of everyone!
21:13.840 --> 21:16.140
Okay, pull it up, Ushiyama!
21:18.770 --> 21:19.810
Gold!
21:22.800 --> 21:24.560
I told you, that's dangerous!
21:24.560 --> 21:26.270
Just wait up there, fool!
21:26.270 --> 21:28.030
Ow...
21:54.830 --> 21:55.950
Asirpa-san...
21:56.670 --> 22:00.310
Looks like we found the gold, huh?
23:35.140 --> 23:40.270
Next Time
The Battle of Goryoukaku
23:35.870 --> 23:40.040
Next Time: The Battle of Goryoukaku!
