Episode Sixty
The Battle of Goryoukaku
01:34.370 --> 01:37.640
I can't imagine that the government,
the de facto masters of Hokkaido,
01:37.640 --> 01:44.010
are going to hand over the land just
because we have this deed book.
01:44.290 --> 01:46.520
Ask Enomoto Takeaki for help.
01:46.840 --> 01:50.270
And how are we supposed to
meet somebody so important?
01:50.640 --> 01:53.950
The Meiji government
is after the deed book.
01:53.950 --> 01:56.240
That's why we've hid it here.
01:56.730 --> 02:01.290
The deed book will be stolen
before it gets to Enomoto-san.
02:02.670 --> 02:05.880
But I know one Nispa who may help.
02:07.330 --> 02:14.090
1869
02:07.730 --> 02:11.730
When we were negotiating the
land purchase with Enomoto-san,
02:11.730 --> 02:14.090
we would often go to Goryoukaku.
02:14.480 --> 02:18.590
Without knowing that the Hakodate
War was only going to get worse...
02:18.880 --> 02:21.870
Kimuspu, water the horses, please.
02:21.870 --> 02:22.600
Okay.
02:26.950 --> 02:28.770
That's an unusual tattoo.
02:29.000 --> 02:30.640
Does it mean anything?
02:31.690 --> 02:32.730
No...
02:36.300 --> 02:37.420
I'll help.
02:37.420 --> 02:39.200
I need to water my own horses, too.
02:39.200 --> 02:41.570
No, it's all right, Nispa.
02:42.090 --> 02:46.080
Are the Ainu who just went into
the magistrate's office with you?
02:46.080 --> 02:47.480
Yes.
02:47.820 --> 02:51.580
They'll buy the clams and
seaweed we harvest, they say.
02:51.860 --> 02:53.110
I see.
02:53.580 --> 02:56.300
I leave Enomoto-san in
charge of everything here.
02:57.480 --> 03:01.930
All I'm good with are
battles, horses, and women.
03:02.590 --> 03:06.620
This handsome young man
was, I later learned,
03:06.620 --> 03:09.930
one of the leaders of the Ezo
Republic, Hijikata Toshizou.
03:10.490 --> 03:13.140
Enomoto-san had not told Hijikata-san,
03:13.140 --> 03:16.750
or any of his close allies,
about the land purchase.
03:17.200 --> 03:19.320
The plan was carried out in secret.
03:19.760 --> 03:24.820
We were preparing to give the
gold to the Ezo Republic.
03:25.110 --> 03:26.650
Keep your guard up.
03:26.650 --> 03:30.040
If they find out that we're hiding
the gold in the Russian consulate,
03:30.040 --> 03:31.770
they'll steal it all.
03:31.770 --> 03:33.890
If we can take out just what
we're using for the deal,
03:33.890 --> 03:36.670
and split it up,
carry it by land and by sea...
03:37.070 --> 03:41.920
But while we were preparing, the central
government began an all-out attack.
03:42.320 --> 03:44.930
They fired their ships'
guns from off the coast.
03:44.930 --> 03:49.430
The defeated soldiers set fire
to the city. It was chaos.
03:49.880 --> 03:52.830
Looks like everybody's
fleeing to Mt. Hakodate.
03:57.230 --> 03:59.860
The handsome Nispa from before!
04:03.090 --> 04:04.410
Forget him!
04:04.660 --> 04:07.330
He's with Enomoto-san!
04:07.330 --> 04:08.450
We have to help him!
04:08.970 --> 04:11.480
We treated him in an inn
whose owner had fled,
04:11.480 --> 04:15.620
and helped him hide from
the government's soldiers.
04:15.870 --> 04:18.500
The Kaitenmaru was burned.
04:18.760 --> 04:21.210
"The invincible Kaiten is nothing
but bones," they're saying.
04:24.430 --> 04:30.060
The Kaitenmaru was a warship
that Hijikata-san fought aboard.
04:30.700 --> 04:33.090
Fort Benten Daiba is all that's left...
04:33.950 --> 04:35.080
We must protect it.
04:36.140 --> 04:41.480
Or the ships' guns will
bring down Goryoukaku...
04:43.190 --> 04:48.070
He was shot on his way
to reinforce Benten Daiba.
04:48.370 --> 04:52.650
The fort surrendered yesterday
while you were asleep, Nispa.
04:55.330 --> 04:56.560
Kimuspu-san...
04:58.230 --> 04:59.290
I have a request...
04:59.750 --> 05:02.500
Take me to Mt. Hakodate.
05:19.810 --> 05:22.630
You've come to see this statue of Kannon?
05:27.830 --> 05:33.290
It was the sound of ships'
cannons firing on Goryoukaku.
05:36.540 --> 05:38.170
Hey, you!
05:39.630 --> 05:40.810
I knew it!
05:40.810 --> 05:42.250
You're Hijikata Toshizou!
05:42.250 --> 05:43.460
Don't shoot!
05:43.710 --> 05:45.840
I thought that if the Ezo Republic fell,
05:45.840 --> 05:49.430
the Ainu would lose their
land. I was desperate.
05:51.180 --> 05:52.870
Stop it, Kimuspu!
05:52.870 --> 05:54.140
Everyone will be killed!
06:04.440 --> 06:05.740
I'm sorry...
06:06.130 --> 06:09.260
I won't forget the debt
I owe you for saving me.
06:10.140 --> 06:13.010
I felt guilty for handing him
over to the government's men,
06:13.010 --> 06:16.840
and never told Enomoto-san about him.
06:17.920 --> 06:23.190
But for some reason, I never heard
any stories about Hijikata Toshizou
06:23.190 --> 06:26.050
being arrested, or executed.
06:27.330 --> 06:32.850
Several years later, I heard rumors
here and there that he was imprisoned.
06:33.400 --> 06:36.560
I once heard it from a man
who was his jailer, too.
06:36.780 --> 06:40.310
Hijikata Toshizou yet lives.
06:41.650 --> 06:47.320
Perhaps that Nispa may get word
to Enomoto Takeaki for us.
06:47.320 --> 06:50.650
Are you going to become a prison
guard and help him escape, then?
06:51.750 --> 06:53.910
Hijikata Toshizou...
06:54.210 --> 06:57.330
After that, the Meiji government
began to follow us.
06:57.330 --> 07:00.150
We killed many of theirs,
and they killed many of ours.
07:00.590 --> 07:03.690
So we kept it hidden.
07:03.690 --> 07:07.970
The deed book, and this
cursed gold, all of it.
07:09.410 --> 07:11.470
Let's move it somewhere else, for now.
07:11.960 --> 07:15.970
Kimuspu, you told your younger brother
about this consulate, right?
07:16.200 --> 07:18.350
I know a good place.
07:21.160 --> 07:23.520
We'll hide the gold dust here,
07:23.880 --> 07:26.230
and try to inspire the Ainu to rise up.
07:26.600 --> 07:30.750
And if Hijikata Toshizou
hasn't forgotten his debt...
07:30.750 --> 07:33.490
He'll help the Ainu in the future.
07:34.850 --> 07:35.780
Asirpa...
07:46.060 --> 07:47.690
They're back!
07:48.020 --> 07:49.520
Into the holes!
07:53.500 --> 07:55.010
Oh, shit!
07:58.780 --> 07:59.960
It's started again.
08:01.470 --> 08:02.630
Get out of there!
08:02.630 --> 08:04.690
All three of you, grab the rope!
08:04.690 --> 08:07.430
Shiraishi, let's leave the gold for now.
08:07.430 --> 08:09.320
No, I'm staying here!
08:09.320 --> 08:12.690
You idiot! One hit from that cannon
and you'll be buried alive!
08:34.450 --> 08:37.970
We're gonna have to stay
holed up in here and fight.
08:38.890 --> 08:41.120
If we lose, we'll never
see the gold again!
08:47.720 --> 08:50.230
They didn't believe the
deed book was real?
08:50.230 --> 08:52.280
We need to hurry!
08:55.150 --> 08:57.970
So they stopped firing the
ships' cannons for a while
08:57.970 --> 09:03.540
because Nagakura-san pretended to
surrender and bought us time, I guess?
09:07.580 --> 09:11.500
Nagakura told the truth
about the deed book.
09:12.170 --> 09:17.870
That's what I would do to get them to
stop firing those cannons, if I were him.
09:18.400 --> 09:23.850
During the Hakodate War, Goryoukaku
had a tall magistrate's office in it.
09:24.300 --> 09:28.730
The Meiji government targeted it with
their warships from off the coast,
09:29.040 --> 09:32.610
opening hole after hole in its roof.
09:33.000 --> 09:35.820
The Ezo Republic couldn't
take it, and surrendered.
09:36.310 --> 09:39.000
The government won the
battle at Goryoukaku
09:39.000 --> 09:41.280
without having to fight at close range.
09:41.880 --> 09:46.910
If there was any better way
for the Ezo Republic to fight,
09:47.280 --> 09:51.670
it would've been to use fortifications
to wait out the cannon fire.
09:54.910 --> 09:59.090
We don't have the magistrate's
building to aim for.
09:59.390 --> 10:05.350
But we can use balloons to be far
more accurate than we were then.
10:08.630 --> 10:12.190
They're aiming solely for the
fortifications we built on high ground.
10:12.920 --> 10:15.830
We learned during the Siege of Port Arthur
10:15.830 --> 10:19.200
how dangerous those
fortifications could be.
10:19.950 --> 10:21.820
Hey, get inside!
10:21.820 --> 10:23.080
It's dangerous out there!
10:23.350 --> 10:28.710
The key to strategy is limiting
your opponent's options.
10:32.490 --> 10:34.950
The government of the Manchurian frontier
10:34.950 --> 10:36.960
passed from military to civilian hands,
10:36.960 --> 10:41.760
and now it's falling apart as
everyone scrambles for power.
10:42.300 --> 10:47.680
It won't be long before both Manchuria
and Hokkaido are stolen by Russia!
10:47.970 --> 10:50.270
We must bring back military
rule and concentrate
10:50.270 --> 10:52.110
all power in Manchuria in its hands,
10:52.110 --> 10:54.520
expanding our development of the frontier!
10:54.790 --> 11:00.090
We needed easily-sold gold
for that to happen...
11:02.160 --> 11:06.280
But now what we need is
the deed book it seems.
11:06.280 --> 11:11.540
But purchasing land in Hokkaido
was always part of the plan!
11:11.910 --> 11:14.210
We'll defeat Hijikata
Toshizou and his men,
11:14.210 --> 11:16.040
and recover the deed book!
11:16.670 --> 11:18.760
That book should be ours!
11:19.260 --> 11:23.050
We'll use the land to grow mass
quantities of opium poppy!
11:23.470 --> 11:26.060
I expect that someday,
11:26.060 --> 11:31.020
the opium we harvest from it will
be as valuable as gold in China!
11:31.320 --> 11:35.110
We'll use Hokkaido-grown opium
to monopolize power in Manchuria,
11:35.110 --> 11:38.300
and start growing it there as well!
11:38.650 --> 11:40.870
The path to wealth for all
of us can also be a way
11:40.870 --> 11:44.030
of memorializing our fallen comrades!
11:46.050 --> 11:52.150
I'll cover the land where the ones I
love sleep with opium poppy flowers!
11:54.480 --> 11:56.590
Okay, here they come.
12:00.550 --> 12:03.360
Attack!
12:04.050 --> 12:09.060
Golden Kamuy
12:09.870 --> 12:14.960
After destroying the
fortifications on high ground,
12:14.960 --> 12:21.580
155 of Tsurumi's men all rushed the
three bridges that lead into Goryoukaku!
12:23.320 --> 12:26.320
South Entrance
12:28.330 --> 12:31.330
North Entrance
12:31.330 --> 12:34.290
East Entrance
12:34.520 --> 12:37.140
Hurry! Get inside Goryoukaku!
12:37.140 --> 12:39.250
Get across the bridge
as fast as you can!
12:40.550 --> 12:42.370
Knowledge of the deed book
12:42.370 --> 12:47.050
took away the choice
of leveling Goryoukaku.
12:47.690 --> 12:51.770
The area a few dozen meters past
the fortifications was unharmed.
12:55.010 --> 12:57.520
The fortifications we
took out were decoys!
13:00.700 --> 13:03.150
The trees in the windbreak
are 300 meters behind them,
13:03.150 --> 13:05.440
and too far for a retreat.
13:05.900 --> 13:10.200
There's no place to hide on
the outside of Goryoukaku.
13:10.200 --> 13:12.910
Keep going! Get inside!
13:12.910 --> 13:14.660
North Entrance
13:17.790 --> 13:20.540
Across the bridge! It's the only way!
13:36.080 --> 13:38.920
If there's no place to
hide, jump in the moat!
13:38.920 --> 13:40.940
Hide between the gaps in
the bridge's supports!
13:46.840 --> 13:49.780
Order the ships to fire on
the fortifications again!
13:49.780 --> 13:52.530
Have them hit near the entrances, too!
13:52.530 --> 13:53.200
Right!
13:53.960 --> 13:55.330
We're too close to the fortifications!
13:55.610 --> 13:58.040
They'll hit Lieutenant Koito over there!
13:58.640 --> 14:04.000
Let's believe that he's
worthy to be our flagbearer.
14:15.410 --> 14:18.600
I have to protect the
deed book no matter what!
14:19.190 --> 14:23.790
Survivors of the Boshin War,
and survivors of the Russo-Japanese War...
14:24.250 --> 14:26.820
I wonder which'll win.
14:27.100 --> 14:29.820
Experience or spirit.
14:30.250 --> 14:32.230
Hey, that soldier.
14:32.230 --> 14:33.980
He's sending a signal!
14:33.980 --> 14:37.190
He's going to have them
resume fire! Shoot!
14:37.190 --> 14:38.830
We can't have that!
14:45.490 --> 14:46.960
Okay, I stopped them!
14:49.920 --> 14:53.050
Prepare all the grenades
you have, Sergeant Tsukishima!
14:53.050 --> 14:54.930
Gather up grenades!
15:00.520 --> 15:02.150
Lieutenant Koito, follow me!
15:08.430 --> 15:10.630
Take out the enemy on the high ground!
15:21.560 --> 15:24.940
Hang in there! Don't let them inside!
15:25.610 --> 15:29.170
Hijikata-san, let's retreat
to the trench behind us!
15:29.170 --> 15:34.570
No, if we fall back they'll charge at
us through their own cannon blasts!
15:34.570 --> 15:35.850
We must stop them here!
15:35.850 --> 15:38.640
We'll all be blown to shreds at this rate.
15:38.640 --> 15:41.140
We'll believe in Kadokura's luck.
15:47.630 --> 15:49.190
This is the Kannon statue!
15:50.640 --> 15:52.700
Kannon-sama will have to move.
15:58.690 --> 15:59.870
What is this?
16:00.350 --> 16:02.740
During the Battle of Hakodate,
16:02.740 --> 16:06.630
Hijikata-san and the Shinsengumi
hid it here, I'm told.
16:14.590 --> 16:16.860
The Kaitenmaru's main gun.
16:26.540 --> 16:28.380
If the deed book is real,
16:28.380 --> 16:33.490
either Immortal Sugimoto,
Hijikata Toshizou, or Asirpa has it!
16:33.490 --> 16:36.990
They should be somewhere inside
Goryoukaku, trying to dodge cannon fire.
16:37.420 --> 16:40.740
We'll capture Goryoukaku and take it!
16:41.150 --> 16:45.740
If I send the soldiers in, the enemy's
defense will collapse from the inside.
16:46.070 --> 16:49.630
We will be the spear that
collapses their defenses!
16:58.630 --> 17:00.930
Let's cross the bridge between shots!
17:00.930 --> 17:02.860
We're sitting ducks out here!
17:02.860 --> 17:05.810
No, wait for Lieutenant Tsurumi's signal!
17:05.810 --> 17:08.150
Look! It's Lieutenant Tsurumi!
17:09.830 --> 17:10.840
The enemy!
17:25.020 --> 17:26.130
Don't get scared!
17:26.130 --> 17:27.500
If your daddy loves you,
17:27.500 --> 17:29.800
then his shells won't land on you!
17:40.090 --> 17:41.390
Just a little more...
17:41.390 --> 17:46.850
Once the cannons blow a few
more of them away, we charge!
17:47.120 --> 17:50.000
We're finished, Sofia! Let's fall back!
17:50.250 --> 17:52.250
Get in the holes! I'll stay here!
17:55.360 --> 17:56.770
Near miss off the starboard bow!
17:56.770 --> 17:58.450
An attack from Goryoukaku?
17:58.700 --> 18:00.570
All ships, hurry and weigh anchor!
18:06.330 --> 18:07.330
Hurry.
18:07.600 --> 18:11.350
Right... little to the right. Right.
18:16.000 --> 18:20.430
The four destroyers had lowered
their anchors to make their shots
18:20.430 --> 18:22.490
on the Goryoukaku more accurate,
18:22.490 --> 18:24.220
which made them slow to react.
18:29.980 --> 18:31.240
Got 'em!
18:31.240 --> 18:32.940
Yes!
18:33.160 --> 18:35.270
Mansur, you're amazing!
18:35.270 --> 18:38.310
You hit 'em with this antique gun!
18:38.310 --> 18:42.170
Sophia said you were one
hell of an artilleryman!
18:43.410 --> 18:46.370
Hurry! Keep 'em coming!
18:46.370 --> 18:50.160
Ship #2, Inazuma, has taken
a hit! It's burning!
18:50.160 --> 18:52.330
Gunfire coming from Mt.
Hakodate to our starboard!
18:52.610 --> 18:53.660
Cut anchors!
18:53.660 --> 18:56.850
Fleet, begin advancing at minimum speed!
18:57.410 --> 18:59.090
Gun loaded!
19:02.640 --> 19:05.460
Ship #3, Akebono, has taken a hit!
19:05.460 --> 19:07.810
Ship #2, Inazuma, is burning!
19:09.390 --> 19:12.190
Ship #4, Oboro, has taken a hit!
19:16.970 --> 19:18.230
It's going to explode!
19:18.230 --> 19:19.570
Get away from it!
19:24.800 --> 19:26.950
Hey, look! The balloon!
19:26.950 --> 19:29.100
The cannons stopped, too!
19:29.100 --> 19:30.750
Did Kadokura's group pull it off?
19:30.990 --> 19:35.000
We protected Goryoukaku with
the Kaitenmaru's main gun.
19:35.220 --> 19:37.600
It's one of the things I
didn't get to do last time.
19:42.760 --> 19:46.140
Fleet, turn eight points to starboard!
19:46.140 --> 19:49.350
Ship #4, Oboro, moderately
damaged and on fire!
19:49.570 --> 19:52.640
This ship, the Ikazuchi,
is the only one still unharmed!
19:54.150 --> 19:55.640
Fire all weapons!
19:55.640 --> 19:58.650
Our target is the enemy on Mt.
Hakodate to our port side!
20:00.840 --> 20:05.190
All guns, fire when ready!
20:09.350 --> 20:10.700
They hit back!
20:10.700 --> 20:12.500
Shit! Run!
20:22.540 --> 20:24.320
Mansur, stand up!
20:24.320 --> 20:25.300
Hit him back!
20:27.260 --> 20:28.960
Kirawus, we've done enough!
20:28.960 --> 20:29.850
We need to run!
20:29.850 --> 20:32.020
We need to take down that ship!
20:47.870 --> 20:49.740
We're hit!
20:50.030 --> 20:51.080
Fire back!
21:00.000 --> 21:01.810
Abandon ship!
21:01.810 --> 21:03.880
Prepare the lifeboats!
21:03.880 --> 21:07.320
Commander Koito!
Please head to the lifeboats!
21:07.320 --> 21:09.050
I'll stay with the ship.
21:09.270 --> 21:10.640
Commander Koito!
21:13.230 --> 21:15.470
Forget me! Abandon ship!
21:15.470 --> 21:17.270
This is an order!
21:22.300 --> 21:23.780
Otonoshin...
21:37.900 --> 21:40.290
There's the signal!
21:40.290 --> 21:42.800
They've taken the high ground on one side!
21:42.800 --> 21:44.470
Look under the bridge!
21:44.470 --> 21:46.300
They got down there somehow!
21:46.560 --> 21:49.010
I don't hear any gunfire from that hill.
21:49.360 --> 21:51.250
Were they all taken out?
23:35.180 --> 23:40.270
Next time
Bushido
23:35.910 --> 23:39.150
Next time: Bushido!
