(Episode Thirty-Three Revolutionary)

He seems to speak a bit of Russian.

She came here with three men to
deliver a reindeer, he says.

Asirpa-san!

Lieutenant Koito! Come back!

They'll let us rest in their tent!

I saw a tiny reindeer!

I see.

Why not put a reindeer bridle
on the Lieutenant here?



Sugimoto, you're a nasty man.

Right, Tsukishima?

Right, Tsukishima?!

Tsukishima?!

We're almost to Ako Prison.

Asirpa-san should be close.

(Ako: Nivkh Village)

The Nivkh are the most populous
ethnic minority in Karafuto.

They live a life very similar to the
Karafuto Ainu, centered around fishing.

That hat is awesome!

It's got ears!

If we can get this woman
who knows so much about

Asirpa-chan's father, Sofia, out of jail,

we might be able to find out something
about the code for the gold,



is what you're saying?

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it feels
like the risk isn't worth the reward.

Dozens of Sofia's men are
locked up in Ako Prison.

They're all allies who fought with me
for independence for far east minorities.

I see.

And so we want them on our side?

If we find the gold with their help,

will that really benefit the Ainu?

Of course.

It'll benefit not just the Ainu,
but the Nivkh and the Uilta, too.

The Nanai, the Evenki, the Yakuts...

Every minority that lives in Karafuto
and far eastern Russia will be

able to remain who they are.

Nivkh clothing?

Vladivostok

It ran.

That's rare, to see one so
close to where humans live.

Hasegawa Photographers

I'm back, Fina.

Welcome home, Kouichi.

Have you been good, Olga?

You have a guest.

Hello. I am Hasegawa.

We haven't come to have our photo taken.

We heard there was a Japanese here.

We're interested in Japan.

We want you to teach us Japanese.
Of course, we'll pay.

Hasegawa-san went to Russia in his teens,
as part of his dad's job.

An acquaintance gave him that
photographer's studio,

and he began to work as a
photographer in Vladivostok,

marrying a local woman.

Perhaps he was happy to get a chance
to speak his old language again,

because he agreed to teach us.

We learned Japanese from him.

We hid at a local farmer's house
while visiting his studio,

in what was a brief respite from
the ten years we spent on the run

for killing the emperor.

Sofia treated me like a little brother.

Me like fat chicks!

You prefer plump women, I see.

Poop.

Poop?

You shouldn't talk like that,
Zoya-san. It's rude.

Poop bad!

Poop!

Poop bad!

Poop!

Stop it. Both of you.

Hey. You two. Call it off.

Harmony is the most critical
thing in all affairs, right?

Those two men are amazing. They're picking
up Japanese with amazing speed.

Especially Grigori-san...
He's frighteningly smart.

Zoya-san doesn't seem cut out for Japanese.

It's not her intelligence.
She's just not interested in it.

Hoinu not like water. Will travel above this.

Pelts sell for a lot.

Maybe I should set a lot of traps
like that and buy a new camera, then.

You shouldn't count your
hoinu before they hatch.

When did you learn a phrase like that?

They're constantly watching
the area around them.

Wolf...

That's the same wolf I saw
the day you came here.

Wolves are beautiful.

They lead strong lives, with nothing wasted.

That's what makes them beautiful.

Beauty and strength are the same.

But if a wolf is alone, that means
there's something wrong with it.

It couldn't get along with its comrades,
and left or was kicked out.

You know a lot about the mountains.

You won't tell me a word about
where you really came from.

But you're not from
the nobility, like Zoya-san.

She's dressed like a peasant,
but can read and write Russian.

And occasionally, she speaks in French.

Here.

Merci.

A lot of Russia's upper classes prefer
to speak in French rather than Russian.

I think Hasegawa-san had a
good idea of who she was.

In those days, some Russian nobles
and intellectuals would dress

as peasants and live among them,

attempting to modernize the
state and overthrow the emperor.

Hasegawa-san may have
known who we were, too.

(Golden Kamuy)

The Russian Empire has always
had what are called "serfs."

They're halfway between
a farmer and a slave.

They had no rights at all.

Sofia and other revolutionaries
tried to get them to rise up.

But they refused.

The revolutionaries decided this was because

the religious beliefs they held deeply
were tied to worship of the emperor.

There was no choice but to prove
that the emperor was a mere mortal,

and not a representative of God.

And that line of thought
lead to his assassination.

The ethnic minorities consider
Russia a serious threat.

"Our kamuy are being
replaced by something else.

Someday we'll be turned into pious
believers who never complain."

That's why Wilk and I joined
her revolutionaries.

And Sofia planned to
fight alongside us, too.

Ookubo Toshimichi is considered a cruel man

for his willingness to do whatever
it took to achieve his goals,

but he was also a man capable of making
firm decisions and acting on them.

His polar opposite was Kido Takayoshi:

cheerful, logical, flexible.

A master of the sword who stood
up against tremendous power.

Saigou Takamori was loyal, kind,
and had a strong sense of duty.

An excellent military leader
who inspired great loyalty.

These three were the men at the
core of the Meiji Restoration.

Thanks to their efforts, Japan was the one
nation in Asia that was able to modernize.

Head back to your parents for a while.

Don't come back until I come to get you.

Promise me you won't come back.

I think we're ready to head for Japan.

But I think she's still uncertain.

If you tell her to come with you, she will.

Hasegawa-san, hello.

Please give us another lesson.

You can't come here anymore.

Leave. Now.

Are you Hasegawa Kouichi?

No, Hasegawa is out.

And who are you?

His assistant. What do you want?

(The secret police)

We're surrounded.

How many of you came here?

How many are outside?

Who are you people?

We came for the Japanese.

We'd spent months together, and had no
clue that Hasegawa-san was a Japanese spy.

His wife didn't either, I'm sure.

Leave now if you don't want to die!

Come upstairs, please.

You hid this in your cameras!

It's ready. Go ahead.

Don't let a single one get away.

If they do, they'll come
back with their friends!

A single bullet hit the
baby and the wife at once.

Fina!

It's no good.

Go. You have to get as far away
from here as possible, I'm sure.

Hasegawa-san!

Go. Now.

That was the last we saw of him.

Sofia blamed herself.

I told her that the bullet that killed

the baby might've been mine,
but it didn't help.

If there are warrants coming out
this far, we can't use any port.

It'll be hard to get into Japan.

(Vladivostok)

We'll go further north.

And then what?

I have an idea.

What we've been waiting for is here.

We've been waiting for the ice floes.

The Strait of Tartary will be covered in
ice soon, connecting us to Karafuto.

We'll walk over the ice to reach Karafuto.

We can get there in a day.

I got some information from
the Russian government.

We need to go to Hokkaido
and see if it's true.

What's wrong, Sofia?

I can't go.

Because Wilk, I love you.

I can't get the baby I killed out of my head.

I don't need a woman's happiness.
I'll fight here, as a revolutionary.

We'll meet again, Sofia.

Keep safe, kid.

Did you tell Sofia what happened to Aca?

Wilk...

Once we get her out,
we'll head over the ice to Russia,

and meet up with her allies there.

Fina...

Kouichi...

My name isn't Hasegawa Kouichi.

Who are you?

Tsurumi Tokushirou.
