and they hoped to wait it out
in an Ainu home.

Ainu etiquette meant
they had to go through this ritual.

tell the <i>kamuy </i>world that
our <i>kotan </i>is a good place.

They invite the travelers in,

and when their guard is down, they strike.

But why kill them?

150
00:09:46,377 --> 00:09:51,090
They were all… convicts
who escaped together from Kabato Prison.

One day, he showed up at the prison
and led all of us out.

Since then,

647

Yeah, I have a nose for that,
ya know? [scoffs]

649
00:40:05,027 --> 00:40:07,738
I was right. They did come this way.

<i>But if they came through Yubari,</i>

656

Is your companion a fortune-teller?

That's nice! What I wouldn't give
to have a girl like that working for me.

665
00:41:01,041 --> 00:41:02,042

[Nikaido] Wait, who are you?

Hm? Oh, are you asking me who I am?

690
00:42:00,684 --> 00:42:01,519
I'll tell you.

691
00:42:01,602 --> 00:42:03,938
I'm the one who made
that rifle over there.

692
00:42:04,897 --> 00:42:09,193
Army Lieutenant General Narizo Arisaka,
a genius firearms developer.

693

-Knock it off now, Nikaido! Stop it!
-[growling]

694
00:42:12,988 --> 00:42:16,742
Mr. Arisaka, were you able to make
the gift I requested?

695
00:42:17,493 --> 00:42:21,372
Nikaido, I made a gift just for you.

696
00:42:21,872 --> 00:42:24,583
Huh? A gift for me? What is it?

697
00:42:25,167 --> 00:42:27,795
I really hope you enjoy using this thing.

698
00:42:27,878 --> 00:42:30,756
This, my friend, is your new leg.

699
00:42:31,840 --> 00:42:33,968
Ah, it's just a <i>fake </i>leg.

700
00:42:34,051 --> 00:42:36,512
No! Not just any fake leg.

701
00:42:41,892 --> 00:42:43,185
Get outta here!

702
00:42:44,395 --> 00:42:48,899
It may have been made in haste
but it still holds two shots.

703
00:42:49,650 --> 00:42:52,152
It's like a cane gun
for close combat situations

704
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:53,779
and surprise attacks.

705
00:42:53,862 --> 00:42:56,448
Of course,
the best way to stop your opponent

while battling at close range

707
00:42:58,492 --> 00:43:00,411
is always going to be a shotgun.

[shakily] Whoa!
Thanks so much, strange old man.

[laugh raucously]

711
00:43:12,214 --> 00:43:15,467
Are you happy
with your shiny new leg, Nikaido?

712
00:43:15,551 --> 00:43:16,552
[emotionally] Yeah!

[Sugimoto] We'll be able to see
Kabato Prison soon.

717
00:43:35,988 --> 00:43:39,241
[Ushiyama] We agreed to meet up
at the inn closest to the prison.

718
00:43:39,325 --> 00:43:41,493
[Ogata] This has been such a letdown.

719
00:43:42,077 --> 00:43:44,204
I didn't expect there to be
such a small fry

720
00:43:44,288 --> 00:43:46,165
among the Abashiri convicts.

721
00:43:46,874 --> 00:43:48,751
[Suzukawa] Well, I'm a con artist.

722
00:43:48,834 --> 00:43:50,711
I rely on my brain.

723
00:43:50,794 --> 00:43:53,464
Don't lump me in with those barbarians.

724
00:43:53,964 --> 00:43:57,426
They only know how to use violence
to get what they need.

725
00:43:58,052 --> 00:44:00,220
[Sugimoto] Didn't you commit
marriage fraud?

726
00:44:00,804 --> 00:44:04,308
I can't see how any woman
could be deceived by someone like you.

727
00:44:04,391 --> 00:44:06,393
I wear many disguises.

728
00:44:06,477 --> 00:44:08,687
This isn't my true appearance.

729
00:44:09,813 --> 00:44:12,399
There is no "real" me anymore, hm?

730
00:44:16,070 --> 00:44:18,364
Shiraishi was caught
by the Seventh Division?

731
00:44:18,447 --> 00:44:20,449
[Ogata] Was it First Lieutenant Tsurumi?

732
00:44:20,949 --> 00:44:24,328
[Hijikata] No. Tsurumi wasn't with them.

733
00:44:24,411 --> 00:44:25,913
It was a different platoon.

734
00:44:25,996 --> 00:44:28,207
[Nagakura] From what we've heard
around town,

735
00:44:28,290 --> 00:44:30,167
they had been working in Asahikawa

736
00:44:30,876 --> 00:44:33,629
at the headquarters
of the Seventh Division.

737
00:44:33,712 --> 00:44:36,507
They were just passing through town
on their way back.

738
00:44:37,424 --> 00:44:39,385
It's likely that Shiraishi

739
00:44:39,968 --> 00:44:42,346
is on his way to Asahikawa as we speak.

740
00:44:43,222 --> 00:44:46,183
[Ienaga] They're probably peeling
his skin off right now.

741
00:44:46,850 --> 00:44:50,062
[Ushiyama] Ogata can check it out.
He's Seventh Division.

742
00:44:50,145 --> 00:44:52,439
[Ogata] In their eyes, I'm a deserter.

743
00:44:55,776 --> 00:44:57,069
[softly] Shiraishi.

[all] Oh well.

[Ushiyama] At least we got a copy
of his tattoo.

751
00:45:13,377 --> 00:45:14,545
[Sugimoto] No.

752
00:45:15,129 --> 00:45:16,672
I'm going to save him.

753
00:45:16,755 --> 00:45:17,756
Sugimoto.

754
00:45:18,966 --> 00:45:22,344
How are you going to do that?
You're asking to be killed.

755
00:45:23,387 --> 00:45:25,013
We'll use this con artist.

to break Kumagishi out.

Kabato Prison.

{\an8}[sighs, tuts] How reckless!

{\an8}the Seventh Division
will skin you as well.

{\an8}The best option for you to keep

{\an8}is to successfully save our friend.

770
00:46:01,550 --> 00:46:03,093
First, we need to know

771
00:46:03,719 --> 00:46:07,473
exactly where they're holding Shiraishi
in the Seventh Division headquarters.

772
00:46:07,556 --> 00:46:08,974
Or we can't save him.

773
00:46:09,475 --> 00:46:11,268
Do we dress him up like a general?

774
00:46:11,769 --> 00:46:14,271
[Nagakura] They're not going to tell
classified information

775
00:46:14,354 --> 00:46:16,690
to just anyone who walks in.

776
00:46:18,692 --> 00:46:20,944
What about a senior officer
from the division in Tokyo?

777
00:46:21,028 --> 00:46:25,449
Well, the higher they're promoted,
the more military connections they have.

778
00:46:25,532 --> 00:46:27,242
They'll notice a made-up senior officer.

779
00:46:37,002 --> 00:46:39,880
What about Shirosuke Inudo, then?

780
00:46:41,882 --> 00:46:44,051

[Ushiyama] Inudo?

-[Sugimoto] Does he look like him?
-[Hijikata] Not at all.

786
00:47:11,453 --> 00:47:15,666
If you want to impersonate a real person,

787

first you must reduce the things
about yourself that are different.

788
00:47:30,264 --> 00:47:33,642
<i>Start by thinning out the eyebrows.</i>

789
00:47:35,561 --> 00:47:38,981
<i>Next, you must cut the hair.</i>

790
00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:45,779
<i>If I recall,</i>
<i>he wears his hair pulled forward.</i>

791
00:47:46,738 --> 00:47:47,656
[Ushiyama] Oh?

792
00:47:48,323 --> 00:47:50,534
He's starting to resemble him.

793
00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:54,037
-[Sugimoto] Do you think this'll work?
-[Nagakura] Hmm…

794
00:47:55,539 --> 00:47:57,749
[Ienaga] He's not quite there yet.

795
00:48:00,627 --> 00:48:01,753
[Hijikata] Inudo…

796
00:48:03,005 --> 00:48:05,048
is called the demon of discipline.

797
00:48:05,549 --> 00:48:07,926
He's known to be strict and virtuous.

798
00:48:08,010 --> 00:48:11,305
But he imprisoned me
based on a personal grudge,

799
00:48:11,388 --> 00:48:13,432
proving he's inconsistent.

800
00:48:15,559 --> 00:48:18,937
His distorted mind shows on his face.

801
00:48:19,521 --> 00:48:20,564
[Suzukawa] Hmm.

802
00:48:21,440 --> 00:48:22,983
All right, then.

803
00:48:23,066 --> 00:48:25,235
What do you think of this?

[Hijikata] Ohh!

806
00:48:44,630 --> 00:48:46,089
Incredible.

807
00:48:47,758 --> 00:48:48,842
[Suzukawa] It's easy.

808
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,345
All you need to do

809
00:48:52,262 --> 00:48:55,515
is put on a scarf,
and you're a different person.

810
00:48:58,810 --> 00:48:59,728
[Sugimoto] Huh?

811
00:48:59,811 --> 00:49:01,229
[apprehensive music plays]

812
00:49:05,567 --> 00:49:07,194
I just realized.

813
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:10,030
You were the old man at the herring lodge.

814
00:49:12,366 --> 00:49:13,241
Have I…

…seen you somewhere?

00:49:16,536 --> 00:49:18,455
I doubt you've ever met <i>him</i>!

818
00:49:18,538 --> 00:49:21,541
This is… Toshizo Hijikata!

819
00:49:21,625 --> 00:49:23,168
So, then,

820
00:49:24,086 --> 00:49:27,589
this whole time,
Shiraishi's been spying for <i>you</i>?

821
00:49:32,719 --> 00:49:36,181
That's all… behind us now, isn't it?

[music intensifies]

823

[music fades out]

825

We'll make them bring Shiraishi to us.

00:50:01,039 --> 00:50:02,582
[Shiraishi] Sugimoto took a bullet for me!

827
00:50:02,666 --> 00:50:04,126
[Ogata] They'll catch up if we stay here.

828
00:50:04,209 --> 00:50:06,920
You're going to join my prisoner hunt,
all right?

829
00:50:07,004 --> 00:50:09,172
[Sugimoto] Shiraishi,
you were working for Hijikata.

830
00:50:09,256 --> 00:50:12,092
[Hijikata] In war, you must never lose.

831
00:50:12,175 --> 00:50:14,886
[Asirpa] Once everything is over,
take me to your hometown, Sugimoto.

832
00:50:14,970 --> 00:50:17,931
I'm Immortal Sugimoto!
