KANTO ORWA YAKU SAK NO

ARANKEP SINEP KA ISAM

"NOTHING COMES FROM HEAVEN WITHOUT PURPOSE"

During the Meiji era,

there were rumors of a massive trove of Ainu gold hidden somewhere in Hokkaido.

I'm Immortal Sugimoto!

I want to fulfill my promise to Toraji.

I want Ume's eyes to heal.

After surviving the Russo-Japanese War, Saichi Sugimoto heads to Hokkaido.

Want to hear an interesting story?

Back in the day,

you could find gold the size of beans in the Hokkaido rivers.

You know, a real "gold rush."

A group of Ainu was secretly raising funds to build an army.

20,000 kan of gold bullion.

Then one guy stole it all

by murdering the Ainu involved.

After hiding the gold somewhere in Hokkaido, the guy got arrested

and thrown into prison.

"Noppera-Bo."

He tattooed a code for the buried treasure's location

onto his fellow convicts' bodies.

Tattoos.

Then he told the convicts,

"Break out of here."

"I'll give half the gold to whoever succeeds."

Sugimoto learns that the tattoos on the Abashiri Prison escapees

show where the Ainu gold is hidden.

With the help of Asirpa, an Ainu girl,

and Shiraishi, one of the convicts, Sugimoto sets out to collect the tattoos.

- I guess the story is hard to believe. - I believe it.

My aca was one of the Ainu killed there.

I'll find out why my aca had to be killed.

I'll find the truth.

We will find the gold.

Yeah.

Kiroranke nispa!

An old friend of my aca.

I know about what happened

in Abashiri Prison.

Noppera-Bo

is Asirpa's father.

He wants you, Asirpa, to have the gold.

My aca?

You're looking for your father, aren't you?

How do you know about Aca?

I don't believe in predictions.

I'm a modern Ainu woman.

But Sugimoto and Asirpa weren't the only ones looking for the gold.

Toshizo Hijikata had been gathering the escaped convicts.

There are no useless geezers, only survivors.

Are you going to recreate the Republic of Ezo?

How would you like to hire a skilled bodyguard?

The Seventh Division, led by Tsurumi.

We'll take over the Seventh Division and gain total control of Hokkaido.

We'll form a military government.

Behold! Your new leg.

The two factions joined the hunt,

eager to get their hands on the gold.

We'll go to Abashiri and meet Sugimoto's group there.

Then it's time for us to go

to Abashiri.

I want to see with my own eyes whether Noppera-Bo is Aca.

If he really is Aca,

he'll tell me everything.

I want to see her get to the truth.

To uncover Noppera-Bo's identity, Sugimoto's group heads to Abashiri Prison,

where a fateful confrontation awaits.

We'll be the ones to find the gold.

KUSHIRO, 1907 (MEIJI 40)

The red, ripe fruit of the beach rose can be eaten raw.

We also simmer them and eat them dipped in fish oil.

We call this month mawtachup.

"The month for picking beach roses." That's how important they are.

It's sour.

I'm starving.

I wanna eat something else.

Asirpa, where'd you go?

She's catching sunfish.

Sunfish?

She said sunfish nap near the surface in the summer and are easy to catch.

I sewed the buttons back on for you.

Thanks.

God of needles, I humbly thank you for your help.

You've done so much for Cikapasi and me.

I could say the same. I feel safer with a man around.

You act like you don't care, but you're nice to me when it counts.

Are you two married?

Want some meat?

It's a sea otter. I just caught it.

But I live alone, so I can't eat it.

- Here. - He's giving us the sea otter.

Sea otter?

I've never had it before.

Thank you.

The two of you must eat it alone.

What did he say?

I'll go pick more beach roses.

Weather's turning. You should head back.

Okay.

Thanks.

This isn't looking good.

There's a hut over there!

- Where's Cikapasi? - At the inn.

Where's Inkarmat? She should be nearby.

Enough talking! Let's move!

I hope Asirpa's okay.

Inkarmat!

This way!

I hope the others are all right.

We should stay put.

They say it's bad luck to keep working when you hear thunder.

The sea otter.

I hope they haven't cooked it.

So this is sea otter meat.

I've never smelled anything like it.

Yeah.

It's gamy, but I like the taste.

It's leaner than I expected.

Hinna. I like it.

According to the Ainu, you must not cook otter stew

if you do not have an equal number of men and women in the room.

Something isn't right.

Shiraishi looks unbelievably

sexy.

The smell of otter stew stimulates sexual desire.

Those without a partner often faint from its effects.

Inkarmat.

Some time ago, you spoke to me about my father.

You know Aca?

I know him well.

I met him when I was little.

When we first met,

your father, Wilk, had just come to Hokkaido.

He spoke Ainu with a Karafuto accent.

He had blue eyes like you.

He said his father was Polish and his mother was a Karafuto Ainu.

Before the Russo-Japanese War, Karafuto was Russian territory.

Wilk said there were many Poles there.

They had been oppressed by Imperial Russia

and exiled from Europe to the Far East.

Wilk joined forces with ethnic minorities from the Amur River basin

to wage a liberation movement against Imperial Russia.

He fought, got injured,

and fled to Otaru in Hokkaido.

When I met him, I was wandering from place to place, telling fortunes.

I spent every day with him.

Wilk embraced everything I taught him.

The beliefs of the Hokkaido Ainu, the land, the language, all of it.

Yuk.

"Yuk"?

My father never told me about you.

He said he learned everything from my mother.

I don't believe a thing you say.

Well, your mother was a beautiful woman.

To Wilk,

I was just a child.

I suppose he forgot all about me.

Sugimoto, are you okay?

Damn it, matagi.

Are you trying to seduce us?

My head is spinning.

Are you all right? Talk to me!

You should lie down right away.

Ogata, let's get that shirt open. You'll feel a lot better.

Take his pants off!

Wait.

Let's strip him naked!

Kiro.

Hey there.

Been a while.

I got separated from Hijikata's group. Haven't seen them since Asahikawa.

I asked about you at every kotan. That's how I found you.

What's that smell coming from the pot?

The prisoner they call Noppera-Bo is not your father.

Wilk would never kill Ainu and make off with their gold.

Your father

was killed by Kiroranke.

That's ridiculous. You expect me to believe that?

This isn't a prediction. I have proof.

Sugimoto.

I gotta say,

I don't remember you being

such a handsome stud.

Oh, stop it.

You too, Kiro.

You look like you've been working out.

What do you think, Tanigaki?

I can't think.

Me neither.

Yeah.

What do we do?

I can't take it anymore!

Let's wrestle.

Good idea.

- THE ABASHIRI PRISON RAID-

We got carried away.

Don't tell anyone, okay?

- Yeah. - Of course.

There you are, Asirpa!

Kiroranke nispa.

That's all of us. Let's head for Abashiri.

Wait.

I have something important to tell Asirpa.

I wasn't sure when to tell you.

I came after you from Otaru to tell you about Huci.

She dreamed she would never see you again.

She's worried about you.

Ryu.

Huci...

It's just a dream. Just send her a letter or something.

To the Ainu, a dream isn't just a dream.

It's the gods trying to show us something. A message from kamuy.

Years ago, Huci had a dream.

In that dream,

Kimun Kamuy gathered around her daughter to send off her soul.

Right after that, my mother fell sick and died.

Huci told me about it.

That's why dreams have a powerful hold on her.

Asirpa.

Shall we go back?

I'm sure she'll feel better when she sees you.

There are things

I need to know.

I want to know what I need to know

so I can finally move on.

Kiroranke nispa.

Did you kill my father?

What's this all of a sudden?

I have proof.

The fingerprints on the gambling tokens.

Fingerprints?

Everyone's fingerprints have a different pattern.

They've started using fingerprints to identify criminals overseas.

I collected fingerprints at the gambling den in Sapporo

so I could check them.

As it turns out,

Kiroranke's fingerprints are a perfect match with the prints

linked to the murder of the seven Ainu.

That's ridiculous.

If I killed them, who's Noppera-Bo?

You wanted the gold to fund the fight for independence in the Russian Far East.

He must be one of your allies.

Hold it.

She's working with Lt. Tsurumi.

Stop it!

Genjiro Tanigaki.

Did she seduce you?

Lt. Tsurumi collected the items from the scene of the murder.

He's the only one with the fingerprint records.

I was only using him to get what I wanted.

You sure know how to pick 'em, Tanigaki.

So you're just gonna believe what Lt. Tsurumi says?

He's trying to trick us into killing each other.

Shiraishi.

You're the only one here who has met Noppera-Bo.

Was Hijikata telling the truth?

Does Noppera-Bo have blue eyes like Asirpa?

I didn't look that closely. His face was super creepy.

And Hijikata was the one who relayed the escape plan to us.

So he could be lying too.

So what now?

We have to keep going.

Is Noppera-Bo Asirpa's father or someone else?

We'll know when we meet him.

If there's a traitor among us,

I'll kill them myself.

Okay, rookie.

Let's go.

Are you curious about him?

I couldn't help it. I've never seen a face that scary.

Let me give you a piece of advice.

The first rule of this prison is,

"Don't get involved with Noppera-Bo."

I knew it. The new guard is a spy working for the Seventh Division.

This is my prison.

Anyone who tries to mess with me gets fed to the pigs.

I'll let you handle it, Chief Guard Kadokura.

You want me to do it?

ABASHIRI PRISON CHIEF GUARD TOSHIYUKI KADOKURA

Rookie.

There's a wooden box in the back. Take it outside.

Understood.

You better leave your sword there.

If you trip and fall, you'll be covered in pig shit.

Yes, sir.

Chief Kadokura!

Chief Kadokura?

Where are you?

We can make this quick and painless, or we can--

Chief Kadokura?

Where'd you go?

SEVENTH DIVISION TOKISHIGE USAMI

My cover is blown.

I underestimated Chief Kadokura.

This sucks.

Lt. Tsurumi won't be happy with me.

I fed him to the pigs as instructed.

I reported the new guard as MIA

and the prisoners as having killed each other in a fight.

For the last seven years,

I had you pegged as a lazy, incompetent, weaselly coward.

Today, however,

I may have to revise my opinion of you.

A joyous occasion, sir.

I'll cook myself a nice meal to celebrate.

LAKE KUSSHARO

INN

I'm going to the bath.

In all my years as a masseur,

I've never felt a body this flexible and supple.

My hands sink right in.

It makes me think of a wild tiger.

You have a remarkable gift.

But perhaps not as remarkable

as these deep scars all over your body.

How are you still alive?

Did you know?

During an Ainu funeral, the deceased's clothes and tools are cut.

This releases their souls, allowing the owner to use them in the afterlife.

Really? That's interesting.

It'll take a much bigger wound to get my soul to leave this vessel.

A soul only departs

when it has fulfilled its purpose.

You survive all your injuries

because you haven't fulfilled your purpose in this world.

- Bandits? - Yeah.

The innkeeper told me there have been bandits around recently.

According to her,

they strike as a group in the dark, without a single torch.

How is that possible?

They can do it 'cause they're blind.

I believe the bandits are blind Abashiri escapees

who have banded together.

Why were there so many blind prisoners in Abashiri Prison?

Forced labor on Mount Io.

Sulfur mining is highly profitable.

Inudo secretly lent his inmates to the mining company.

But the gas spewing from the sulfur mine

destroys the miners' eyes.

Many of them died or went blind.

The prison got rid of those who went blind by abandoning them in the mountains.

Those who survived continue to roam this area,

trying to get back at the mining company.

Anyway, here's the important part.

They say the leader of those bandits

has tattoos on his body, and not the yakuza kind.

Any idea who it might be?

Yeah.

His name is Anji Toni.

They kept him in prison even after he went blind

'cause he had one of the tattooed codes.

He escaped with the rest of us.

How does he rob people if he can't see?

Anji Toni has a special skill.

He can "see" by listening to the way sound bounces off things.

Like an echo?

Yeah.

Will you be okay on your own?

I'll be fine. I can walk in the dark better than you, my dear.

Some things are only visible to those of us who can't see.

That reminds me. Be careful if you hear clogs at night.

Clogs?

You hear it when the blind bandits come out at night.

Everyone says it's the sound of clogs, but I beg to differ.

It's a tongue click.

The bandit uses the echo to visualize what's around him.

What does a tongue click sound like?

Yoshitake Shiraishi, I know you're there.

I heard you talking about the mining company.

Did the company hire you to get rid of us?

What? No!

Got you!

ABASHIRI PRISON ESCAPEE ANJI TONI

Damn, he's crazy!

Wait, which way is the inn?

Ogata was the only one who brought his gun.

He's gonna chew us out.

Inkarmat.

Tanigaki nispa, I heard gunshots.

Follow me.

We have to trust him for now.

Sugimoto?

Put that out.

Get away from the torch!

Damn. Who brings a gun to the bath?

I found this earlier.

They can't get us if we're out on the lake.

Get in, quick. What's wrong?

Sorry, but

I can't swim.

And I have a bad feeling about this.

If I wanted you dead, I'd leave you to the bandits.

Get in!

It's me.

They shot you?

I'm fine.

If only I could see them.

It reeks of blood.

They're looking for us!

Tanigaki nispa!

This belonged to my late mother.

If you wear this when you're all grown up, I'll know it's you right away.

But it must be important to you.

You're an important friend.

Thank you.

But I will never see your face again.

That is my fate.

I saw it in my dreams.

Goodbye, Wilk.

I wish you and your wife every happiness.

- You're safe now. - Tanigaki nispa.

I got you. You can do it!

Almost there.

How did they spot us?

Damn. The sun must be coming up.

Now that we can see, we have the upper hand.

Tanigaki nispa, where were you shot?

I'm fine.

It went through my butt.

It's not funny.

If you were using my feelings to manipulate me into protecting you,

it seems to have worked.

Fate can be changed.

Sorry to interrupt,

but we should go.

Damn, we're totally exposed.

Sugimoto!

Someone has to punish Inudo and the mining company.

Don't kill him!

You think you're vigilantes?

You rob and kill people.

Only those who wronged us.

Sooner or later, it'll all be the same to you.

You'd know, wouldn't you?

I can smell it.

You have the stench of a ruthless killer.

Who... are you?

It's been a while, Anji Toni.

I know that voice.

Why are you here?

To pick a fight with Warden Inudo.

We meet again, little lady.

Professor Penis!

Sugimoto, let us have Toni. We'll deal with him.

Fine, but I want a copy of his tattoo.

You only come out at night to do bad things.

If you keep this up, you'll be trapped in the dark forever.

You got me there.

Who is this girl?

Noppera-Bo's daughter.

Huh.

So he has a daughter.

All the guards at Abashiri Prison have Russian rifles.

They're well-equipped with guns and ammo.

The warden sent inmates to work at a sulfur mine.

He must have used the money to purchase the weapons.

But you failed to find out where the weapons are kept

because your cover was blown.

Is that right, Private First Class Usami?

Tsukishima, make him sit.

Do you have any idea how difficult it was

to get you in there as our spy?

I'll draw on this mole here, like this.

Yes, just like this.

I'll give it a stick body and make it run.

Look at it run!

Your other mole too.

Let's see it run.

The mole-men run as hard as they can.

But alas, try as they might,

the two mole-men shall never meet.

That's so sad.

Is it true Sugimoto's group was at Lake Kussharo?

Answer the question!

I heard about them at an inn, but they had already left.

Was the Ainu girl with them?

Yes, sir. She was.

Well done, Usami.

Go wash your face!

Where's the mirror?

There are acorns on the ground

There are acorns on the ground

There are acorns on the ground

There are acorns on the ground

Nisew means acorn.

How do you eat them?

They're sweet if you boil and dry them.

Brown bears eat lots of nisew this time of year.

Sugimoto, help me pick those.

They're kutci. Kiwiberries.

Sure.

You taught me kiwiberry vines can be used to make snowshoes.

I'm surprised you remember that.

Kutci is tasty. It's sweet.

Eat up.

If you eat a lot of kutci, your anus will itch.

Really?

You gotta eat more.

Then it'll itch really bad.

Look, Sugimoto.

Claw marks from a bear.

You're right.

Hunters call it cise sirosi, which means "house mark."

There must be a bear den nearby.

Bears eat so much kutci this time of year,

we sometimes get bear meat that tastes like fruit.

Wanna hunt one?

Nah, I'm good with kutci.

When it starts to snow,

brown bears start eating the tough bark of kutci vines.

It plugs up their anus.

Once that's done, they're ready to hibernate.

You know everything, Asirpa.

I learned it all from Aca.

Everything about the mountains and the Ainu.

Sugimoto.

I'm

scared.

What if the faceless man who killed those Ainu and stole their gold

is my father?

Asirpa.

We've come this far. Let's meet him.

No matter what happens, I'll be with you to the very end.

Abashiri Prison has five watchtowers.

There are guards everywhere.

The prison is surrounded by mountains on three sides.

Twenty watchtowers in the mountains.

All the guards are armed with Russian Mosin-Nagant rifles.

The security is tighter now than when we escaped.

They must be on guard against those looking to break Noppera-Bo out.

We have to cross a bridge to reach the prison, right?

Yeah. The only way in is through the front gate.

Not quite.

If you ask me, we should break in

from the wall facing the Abashiri River, where there are fewer guards.

How do we get over the wall?

We go under it.

We'll dig a tunnel.

It's the season for salmon to migrate up the river.

The Ainu fish for salmon and build huts along the Abashiri River.

We'll hide the tunnel entrance with an Ainu hut.

Here.

Got it.

Thanks.

- Here. - Thanks.

Kiroranke used to be a combat engineer. He dug tunnels at 203 Meter Hill.

We load the dirt onto the boat

and dump it bit by bit while fishing in the river.

This is the only time of year we can pull this off.

I'm gonna call it

"The Great Abashiri Prison Break-in, Ainu style."

Shiraishi.

I'm impressed.

Hats off to you.

Escape King,

I'm glad we didn't leave you behind.

You there.

You can't just set up camp here.

Take it down now.

Why'd you have to set up here, of all places?

Are you asking for more salmon?

What do you mean?

I give you three salmon per day. You let us fish here. That was the deal.

Ask him.

No, I...

You.

You've been taking bribes?

Well, uh...

Five salmon.

Got it?

Let's go.

Please don't tell the warden.

Of course I won't, dumbass.

Look at the size of it.

This is Huci's 13th younger sister.

It's a good thing you have so many relatives.

The tunnel will be finished tomorrow.

Let's get some rest

before the battle.

I'm hungry.

I want salmon.

To the Ainu, salmon is sipe.

"The true food." That's how important it is to us.

That's why we use every part of the salmon.

We even eat the middle of the upper jaw. The head cartilage, kakaw.

There's a dish you can make with this.

Sugimoto.

Can you guess what it is?

What?

Don't tell me it's...

Citatap.

There it is! Citatap!

Citatap originally refers to citatap made from salmon.

It's the citatap of all citatap.

We citatap the gills and the kakaw.

The more we citatap, the better it tastes.

Say citatap, Kantaro.

It's Asirpa's family tradition.

Citatap.

Can I citatap with that?

With that?

- Citatap... - Citatap...

- Are you serious? - Citatap...

Ogata, everyone's saying citatap.

That's strange.

I don't hear it.

If you don't say it when you're making real citatap,

when will you say it?

I thought it'd be nice to bond over this.

Citatap.

He said it.

Did you hear that? Ogata just said citatap!

Add the milt and mince it even more finely.

Then mix in crushed grilled kelp and season with salt.

This is salmon citatap.

We grill the meat on skewers.

Ciporsayo, rice and millet porridge with salmon roe,

and cipor rataskep, potatoes boiled in salted water and mixed with roe,

are also delicacies of the season.

It's soft and smooth.

So this is the real citatap.

It doesn't taste fishy at all.

That's how fresh it is.

Hinna.

The salmon skewers are nice and fatty.

It's really good.

Ienaga, do you want salmon eyeballs?

You like licking eyeballs, don't you?

Inkarmat.

Do you have a special someone?

Here.

What are you doing, Cikapasi?

The woman goes to the man's house and cooks for him.

The man hands the woman his half-eaten bowl.

If she eats from it, that means she accepts his marriage proposal.

Why not become a real family?

Cikapasi, give it back.

That's a pity.

Looks like they're still figuring it out.

Tanigaki nispa.

You're always looking at the prison from across the river.

I hear that you and Asirpa's father go a long way back.

You heard about it from Asirpa?

You insist that Noppera-Bo isn't Wilk,

but deep down, you hope to see him again.

That's why you're here.

You're right.

But according to my predictions, I will never see him again.

Because

death will find me first.

I will die on the eastern side of Hokkaido.

When I was drowning in the lake,

I knew I had told my fate correctly.

I was supposed to die there.

But...

Tanigaki nispa, you changed my fate for me.

It made me believe that we can change our fates.

I know it sounds crazy, and I don't expect you to understand.

You're right.

I want to see Wilk again.

But this desire isn't born out of romantic love.

I want to see him

so I can finally leave my beautiful memories in the past.

If I meet Wilk again,

I'll know for certain that my fate has changed.

I want a future

together with you.

I have a promise to keep.

I promised Huci I'd bring Asirpa back to her.

When the time comes,

I'll do it right.

I'll hand you my half-eaten bowl.

Hey!

He's eating from Tanigaki nispa's bowl!

Mr. Kadokura.

Is that Noppera-Bo?

I hear the Seventh Division wants him for themselves.

They say soldiers will attack the prison

and kill every last one of us to destroy all evidence.

If they come,

I'll give you my gun.

You can fight 'em while I run.

Hey, Kiroranke. Where does this lead?

If we pop out under a group of guards having a drinking party,

we're screwed.

Hijikata told me how far to dig.

We just have to trust him.

Welcome.

You're right on schedule.

The position of warden

typically goes to someone from the Fukuoka or Choshu Domain.

In other words, someone from the new Meiji government.

Guards like me are typically recruited from the locals.

My father fought alongside Hijikata in the shogunate army.

If we mess up, it won't be long before they find the tunnel.

You'll be a wanted man.

If that happens, I'll go with you. My father would've wanted that.

You should've told us you had a man on the inside.

Every day, Noppera-Bo is transferred to a different cell designated by Inudo.

I can accurately predict which cell it will be.

When are we doing it?

On a moonless night.

The night of the next new moon.

Noppera-Bo will be in this cell on the night of the next new moon.

This one. Cell 66 in block four.

And this is the key.

Well, breaking in is a lot easier than breaking out.

We'll sneak in without anyone noticing and take Asirpa to Noppera-Bo.

If he really is your father,

we'll ask him where the gold is.

The gold is just a bonus. I mean, since we're meeting him and all.

Then we slip out quietly, and we're done.

Can't we break him out?

They cut the Achilles tendon on his right leg.

He can barely stand.

There's no need to risk our lives to get him out.

Not if my father killed all those Ainu.

Quit eavesdropping and come on out.

You're the illegitimate son of the Seventh Division commander

who killed himself.

You say you deserted because you want the gold for yourself,

but your background suggests an ulterior motive.

You think I'm doing all this to get ahead in the army?

I have better things to do.

If you think I can't be trusted, what about the rest of you?

Don't worry, Asirpa.

I'll make sure you get to meet Noppera-Bo.

Inkarmat, Cikapasi, Nagakura, and Ienaga will wait in the kotan.

Ogata will provide sniper cover if anything goes wrong.

- Five salmon. - Yes, sir.

Tanigaki and Kantaro will wait outside the tunnel, by our getaway canoe.

We also have two backup canoes, hidden upstream and downstream.

Kiroranke, Ushiyama, and Hijikata will wait in Kadokura's room.

As for Asirpa, Shiraishi, and me,

we'll sneak into the cellblock without using a light.

Anji Toni will lead the way.

The wind is loud,

but I can still tell where the buildings are.

We won't have to worry about the soldiers hearing me.

All right. Let's move.

What the hell?!

Are your ears full of wax?!

They found us right away!

Don't blame me. You missed the light from the lamp!

We'll handle it. Go!

Not a good start.

Where's block four?

The single-story radial five-winged prison house.

It can hold over 700 prisoners.

At its center is a guard post from which every wing can be observed.

There are three guards on night shift.

One of them is Kadokura.

The wind sure is strong tonight.

I made tea.

Oh no!

How terribly clumsy of me!

- Did it get on you? - Sorry.

My poor teacup.

CELL 66

Aca.

Aca?

Aca, is that you?

It's me, Asirpa.

I came to see you.

Asi...

No.

This isn't Aca.

- Intruders! - Yes, sir.

Ow, hot!

Get to your emergency positions!

- Intruders! Arm yourselves! - On it!

To your stations!

Intruders in block four. Go tell Warden Inudo.

- Hurry! - Yes, sir!

Where's Hijikata?

He isn't here?

That old weasel...

Did he trick us?

Asirpa!

Sugimoto!

You two have to stay put.

Sir, we have intruders in block four.

So the alarm I set up went off.

Shut up.

This isn't Asirpa's dad.

Was Inkarmat right?

Are you with Kiroranke?

Who the hell is he?

A fake to throw us off?

I don't know, but someone definitely set us up.

Inkarmat, why are you here?

You have to run.

You'll get caught in the cross fire.

Stop! We have to wait for Sugimoto and Shiraishi.

I'll take you to the real Noppera-Bo.

What do you mean?

They're here. I see them!

I don't believe it. Is it really the Seventh Division?

There, on the other side of the river.

It's the Seventh Division, coming towards us with torches.

Go tell the warden!

On it.

Intruders in the cellblock! Hurry!

Let's go.

Sir, I have something to report!

There are torches lined up near the bridge.

It's the Seventh Division!

Calm down.

We trained for this.

Move out! Machine guns to the front.

Lower your guns.

- Hurry up with the detonator! - Watch the wires.

Ready the machine guns and ammo! Hurry!

- Rifle squad, assemble! - Yes, sir!

They finally came for Noppera-Bo.

Ready to detonate!

Now!

What was that?

The bridge!

Is the Seventh Division really attacking us?

Hey! What's going on?

The Seventh Division has come to kill us!

They'll slaughter us!

Let us out!

Inkarmat, what did you...

I relayed our plans for tonight

to Lieutenant Tsurumi.

We destroyed the bridge. That should buy us some time.

When the soldiers break in, hit them with cross fire.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

We'll turn them into mincemeat.

They blew up the bridge.

Took them long enough.

The torches across the river...

are just decoys.

They knew what we were up to.

Never underestimate an intelligence officer.

You've been reporting to Lt. Tsurumi this whole time?

Lieutenant Tsurumi had hoped we would be able to pull it off.

Unfortunately, we failed.

In this situation, only one person can get Noppera-Bo and Asirpa out safely.

Lieutenant Tsurumi.

- Turn the cannon to the right. - To the right, aye.

Load high-explosive shells.

Aye.

Hey, something's coming.

Targeting center of outer prison wall.

2,225. Fire!

Get in the tunnel!

Present arms!

Fire!

- Fire! - Fire!

- Fire! - Fire!

Fire!

- Reload! - Ready.

It's gonna collapse!

Sugimoto!

Don't you want to see your father?

Fire!

Fire!

There's a destroyer in the river!

They've come to wipe this place out.

If we don't fight back, the Grim Reaper will take us all.

Prepare for battle.

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

Where's Inkarmat and Ushiyama?

Inkarmat!

Leave me and run!

I won't let you die here.

- Hey! - Watch out!

Ushiyama.

Hurry!

Mr. Ushiyama, hurry!

You two

better be happy together.

Ushiyama!

Up we go!

Whew.

My suit got dirty.

That was amazing!

One, one.

Two, two.

Lieutenant Tsurumi.

How will you report this to HQ?

This is what we'll tell them. "We received reports of a prison riot."

"The prisoners had overpowered the guards and barricaded themselves inside."

"We requested backup from Rear Admiral Koito...

Fire!

...commander of the Ominato Guard District."

Aye!

"We rushed to the scene and suppressed the riot."

Our story will fall apart if there are witnesses from the prison.

Why would there be witnesses?

Move it!

Fire!

Return fire!

Push 'em back!

They're just guards with fancy guns.

They've never fought on a real battlefield.

Show them, Sergeant.

Yes, sir.

Capture Noppera-Bo and Asirpa!

It's the Seventh Division!

Let us out!

Let's rush out.

Are you crazy?

I'm not immortal!

What are you doing?

There's a narrow ventilation shaft under the floor.

Shut the hell up!

Stop shouting, damn it!

You knew that inmate was just a decoy?

Did Kadokura know too?

You let Sugimoto and Shiraishi walk into a trap.

Asirpa, follow me.

This is your chance.

Charge!

- Go! - Fire!

What are you doing? Run!

Onward.

They're here.

Where's Noppera-Bo?

Usami.

Immortal Sugimoto.

I'm not going anywhere without Sugimoto.

Once he sees his daughter,

Noppera-Bo will tell us where the gold is.

That's what we're all hoping for.

Including Sugimoto.

Asirpa, I'm sure Sugimoto wants you to see your father.

Where is Aca?

Back off!

I brought 63 men with me.

Some of them are fighting the guards outside.

You won't get past us.

We'll see about that.

Lower your weapons and...

Nikaido!

Let go! You said he's mine to kill!

You idiot! You could've killed Noppera-Bo!

Back off, or I'll shoot his brains out!

Don't make me do it!

Chief Kadokura?

Long time no see!

What's with those moles?

You noticed?

I liked them so much I got them tattooed.

Listen up, rookie.

I forgot to tell you what this does.

They came up with this at Kabato Prison.

We use it to unlock all the cells if a fire breaks out.

There are 700 vicious criminals in here.

Are you ready to take them on?

Bayonets!

Exterminate them all!

Push them back!

Charge!

- Yes, sir! - Yes, sir!

- Keep going! - Yes, sir!

Hijikata must have set us up.

He sent us into the trap to raise the alarm,

knowing Inudo would then head to where the real Noppera-Bo was.

That was Hijikata's plan all along.

While Kadokura keeps us busy,

Hijikata takes Asirpa to her father and asks him about the gold.

He seized this opportunity to separate me from Asirpa.

Why?

Sooner or later, I'll get in his way.

LECTURE HALL

He's here.

So it was the Lecture Hall.

I suspected as much.

He goes in there every day to train.

There must be a secret room in there that Kadokura couldn't find.

Noppera-Bo is in there?

We wait for Inudo to move him out.

Then we strike.

Don't shoot. Take them alive!

Asirpa's gone.

Huh?

Did she go back to Sugimoto?

She slipped away as soon as she got the information she needed.

Clever girl.

Your turn, Sugimoto. Just dislocate your shoulders.

How?!

Shiraishi.

Asirpa.

Where's Sugimoto?

Asirpa.

Are you okay?

Give me your hand.

Noppera-Bo is in the Lecture Hall.

There! It's the Ainu girl!

Go, Asirpa. I'll find a way out.

Wait at the gate. I'll check the Lecture Hall.

No, I won't leave you.

We gotta go!

Come on.

I'll bring Noppera-Bo to you, I promise.

Shiraishi!

Yeah? What's up?

Take care of Asirpa.

Yeah.

I will.

Let's go.

All units, fall back!

I'm

Immortal

Sugimoto!

I hear something below us.

Just as I thought.

Out.

I'll shoot out Inudo's eyes.

Noppera-Bo.

Till death

do us part.

Ow! Hot!

Ow!

Yes!

Yohei, Sugimoto will be joining you.

There he is!

Like you, Takeaki Enomoto fought for the shogunate. He is now a viscount.

You, on the other hand, are nothing but an old escaped convict.

If you had agreed to join the new Meiji government,

you wouldn't have spent over thirty years in chains.

All of us pledged loyalty to the shogunate,

but you and your "new government" turned traitor.

Now you preach to the people about being loyal citizens?

Don't make me laugh.

You're all hypocrites.

I'll bring Noppera-Bo to Asirpa.

To Asirpa...

Is that all?

I'm not done playing!

Beg for your life.

Obey me. Serve me.

Polish my shoes every morning.

Amuse me.

You're afraid.

You're terrified of the way the shogunate samurai died,

loyal to the very end.

Even a samurai of peasant origin like me

remained loyal until the very end,

unlike you backstabbing traitors.

You can't stand thinking about it.

Isn't that right, Shirosuke Inudo?

I'll cut off your limbs.

Submit to me!

I serve only one master.

I won't bow to another.

Hijikata and Inudo are in the Lecture Hall?

We gotta go back him up!

Hey, wait!

You have to stay here, Asirpa.

I promised Sugimoto.

Let's get a better view.

Inkarmat!

Do it.

You're the last of the samurai.

Noppera-Bo.

Wait!

Do you know what this is?

Asirpa's makiri.

Why do you have that?

So it's true. You're her father.

Is she here?

Come with me.

You're gonna tell us everything.

You want the gold?

Bring Asirpa to me, and I'll tell you.

The gold?

Right.

Sure, that too.

But first, I have something to say to you.

To be honest,

I don't want you to meet Asirpa.

She...

She was terrified that her father might be Noppera-Bo,

the ruthless murderer who killed Ainu to steal their gold.

You should've told Hijikata where to find the gold,

have him help you fight for independence or whatever.

Why did you have to get Asirpa involved?

To entrust her with the future.

I taught her how to hide and fight in the mountains.

My daughter

will lead the Ainu.

Asirpa, I see Noppera-Bo and Sugimoto nispa.

Lead the Ainu?

What's wrong with you?!

You want to use Asirpa to wage a war for Ainu independence?

You want to turn her into a murderer like us?

Someone has to fight.

But it doesn't have to be her.

Asirpa should be

hunting deer in the mountains,

eating their brains,

making citatap,

and saying "Hinna, hinna."

Sisam,

my daughter must be very fond of you.

That kimono...

Inkarmat.

Asirpa.

You've grown.

Bravo, Asirpa.

You were fearless and precise.

You're so young,

but you fought bravely and took down a bear.

I'm proud of you.

- Asirpa. - Asirpa.

- My daughter. - My daughter.

You are the future of the Ainu.

Well, Asirpa?

Is that your father?

It's Aca.

You're absolutely sure?

Aca...

Why?

Asirpa saw you're her father?

How is she taking it?

I didn't kill those Ainu.

It wasn't me who killed them.

What?

Tell Asirpa that the gold--

Wilk's been shot!

Sugimoto!

Asirpa, you have to run.

Now you're the only one who can decipher the tattoos.

They'll start killing each other to get to you.

Aca! Sugimoto!

We can't save them!

They're not dead. I won't leave them!

Let go. They're right there!

I'll go.

Shiraishi, wait with Asirpa in the spare boat.

Gotcha. Let's go, Asirpa.

Tanigaki nispa, you mustn't go!

- You'll get shot! - I'll be back.

You.

You signaled the sniper.

Keep quiet.

I had to do something to help my people win their freedom.

How could you do that to Wilk?

I didn't mean to stab you.

Let go!

Why did you kill Wilk?

He abandoned his comrades in Karafuto.

After coming to Hokkaido...

Wilk changed.

A little more to the left.

Damn that matagi.

Inkarmat!

Kiroranke.

Private First-Class Genjiro Tanigaki.

That's the spare boat.

Wait, where's Inkarmat?

We all know she leaked our plan to the Seventh Division.

She can't come with us.

Ready the boat. We gotta go.

Genjiro Tanigaki was captured by Lt. Tsurumi.

What about Aca and Sugimoto?

They were already dead when I went to check.

Did you have to shoot Sugimoto too?

Right after we confirmed Noppera-Bo's identity,

he said something to Sugimoto.

Could have been the location of the gold, or a cipher only Asirpa knows.

Or maybe it was about you.

How does it feel to be missing part of your brain?

Now we're brain-damaged buddies.

Right, Immortal Sugimoto?

I didn't expect a murderer like you to be a highly skilled doctor.

I've performed many brain surgeries as part of my hobby of torturing people.

I cut out bits of their brain, fry them, and then eat them

with ginger soy sauce.

Anyway,

Sugimoto is extraordinarily hard to kill.

That's why he survived.

- What's the situation? - Get him on.

Okay. On three.

Kazuo Henmi.

Tetsuzo Nihei.

I'm impressed.

Ogata shot Noppera-Bo and me.

As soon as the bullet hit me, I knew it was him.

How is he?

He's conscious, but we might die of starvation.

The soldiers will leave once they're done cleaning up.

We just have to wait it out.

Are these Inudo's records?

SHINZO DOI

MAIHARU GANSOKU

WAICHIRO SEKIYA

Now we have the details of the remaining tattooed convicts.

At last, a glimmer of hope.

We'll head south after getting out of here.

Where did they take Asirpa?

To Karafuto.

Now that Kiroranke has Asirpa, the key to the cipher,

he'll likely rejoin his former guerrilla comrades

in the Far East.

Take me to Karafuto.

If I bring Asirpa back and we figure out the code,

give me 200 yen. That's all I ask.

I'll go too.

Asirpa trusts me.

If something happens and you can't go on, I'll bring her back.

What about Inkarmat?

I told her she's not allowed to die before I come back for her.

Please bring her back.

Asirpa!

Did you snack on my brain?

I have to tie up loose ends at Abashiri Prison, so I can't leave yet.

I'll send a small, elite team to Karafuto.

Sergeant Tsukishima, Second Lt. Koito. Go with them.

Why can't I stay with Lieutenant Tsurumi?

He wants to know why he can't stay with you, sir.

It's a request from your father, Admiral Koito.

Sugimoto.

Are you sure you want this for your son?

He may not come back alive.

I've steeled myself against that possibility.

My generation started a war.

So many people had their sons taken and sent to the battlefield.

How can I look those who lost their children in the eye

if I keep my son away from danger?

Sugimoto.

If you ask me, I think Noppera-Bo feels the same way.

He wants the Ainu to fight and risk their lives for a greater cause.

He had to ask the same of his daughter, or it wouldn't be fair.

It may look like he raised his daughter to be his pawn,

but I'm certain that wasn't his intention.

Let's go, Asirpa.

Asirpa needs to know that her father didn't kill those Ainu...

that Kiroranke and Ogata betrayed us,

and that I'm still alive.

There's so much I have to tell Asirpa.
