Omukade (2026)

[bunniefuu]

Pull up!

Pull!

Pull up!

During World w*r II,

the Imperial Japanese Army

marched into the Asia-Pacific.

The Thai government allowed

the Japanese to build a railway

from Thailand to Burma

for the transport of troops and weapons.

Chief, we lost contact with the soldiers

sent to retrieve the prisoners.

Right.

Bring them back, whatever it takes.

Yes, sir.

- What should we do. Help out!

- Yes.

Commander.

Why is the construction work

in your sector moving so slowly?

Forgive me, Commander.

We're short on labor.

I've already brought in

a number of natives to help.

Make them work harder.

Round the clock, day and night.

But I've already

pushed them to their limit.

Those men are idling.

Why aren't they working?

But it's their break, sir...

Stop giving them breaks.

Do you understand?

Yes, sir.

Commander,

permission to round up

more service girls, sir.

Make sure to keep a nice one for me.

Yes, sir.

Back to the villa!

I've been tasked by the Japanese Army

to oversee the construction of the railway

across the border from Thailand to Burma.

Come on! Keep at it!

We need a large labor force

for the project.

Our workers are mostly prisoners of w*r

and ethnic locals

who live along the border.

You idiots!

- Wait!

- Come on!

Are you being lazy?

Get up!

You lazy-a*s!

Get to work!

Get up!

- Hurry up!

- Hold on

Faster!

Faster!

Do it right!

- Hurry!

- Hurry!

But one of the ethnic tribes

refused to cooperate

and declared themselves our enemy.

Arrest all of them.

So, Commander Nakamura

raided their village

and forced them to work for us.

- Find them! Don't let them escape!

- Where are they?

Their leader, Nortong, managed to escape.

Go find them!

Since then,

Nortong has repeatedly slipped

into our camp

and freed several of our prisoners.

Nortong is a dangerous malcontent

whom we want captured,

no matter dead or alive.

- k*ll it!

- Yes!

What the hell's happening?

Keep moving!

We can't, sir!

f*ck!

You b*stard!

Die!

What the f*ck is that thing?

The soldiers we sent went missing.

The locals tell of a vile demon dwelling

in the mountains,

something resembling a monster

in the Japanese folklore

called "Omukade".

Boss,

we want to quit.

You have a contract.

You can't leave.

Go back to work.

Morning, sir.

Good morning, Akira-san.

A cigarette?

I don't smoke.

Is there anything I can do for you?

I need more laborers.

I've already rounded up

the whole province.

If you want more, I have to bring them

from another province,

and that'll cost more.

Not a problem.

I'm happy to pay.

Give me a few days.

I'll leave it to you, Boonchu-san.

My pleasure, sir.

Let's go.

- Who's this?

- Hey.

A new girl.

For the commander.

Alright.

Where's the girl?

Upstairs, sir.

You look tasty.

Where is it?

You'll f*cking die.

Commander.

Ma-oo.

Where did you get that girl?

She asked for work.

I knew nothing about her background.

Never thought she could do

such a vile thing.

I have nothing to do with her.

Tell me where you found her!

Renja, stop!

No!

That's enough.

Chief!

A prisoner has escaped.

A British soldier.

The passcode.

Follow me.

Who's this white man?

Why do we have to help him?

He's an officer from our side.

We can't leave him to die here.

Hey, Sanor.

Hey!

Hey! Is the raft ready?

Yes.

Stay right there!

Drop your g*n.

Please, sir.

If you let us go,

I'll give you

- all this money.

- I don't take bribes.

Take me with you.

This is my mission.

You're not part of it.

Are you sure?

My wage.

Shitty cig!

Take me with you now!

Adam, get the supply.

Move!

Maybe Nortong's the one

helping them escape.

Radio the Burmese troop

to intercept and capture them.

Is that your brilliant idea?

This is our job.

We have to finish it ourselves.

Yes, sir. I'm sorry.

A Western cigarette?

We'll have to go through this mine.

Does it stretch all the way to Burma?

This mine

was dug in the time of my father,

but it was shut down

when the w*r broke out.

Have you gone all the way through before?

Why are you so sure

it'll take us to Burma?

My father used to work here.

Then why isn't he here to guide us?

Don't panic.

My father's drawn me a map.

I can take you through it.

Let's stop here to eat,

then we'll continue.

Don't let me see your face again.

Die!

Don't k*ll them.

What're you waiting for?

I have to interrogate them first

to find out who's behind this.

Get them.

You!

Boonchu.

You betrayed me.

There were five of them.

Where are the other two?

- Follow them.

- Yes.

Ota, Ito.

Come with me.

Right.

Tie these two up.

Right.

Don't move.

Stay still.

Sanor.

Renja!

Found them?

No.

If you can't find them, stay here!

Find them.

Right.

Let's go.

sh*t!

Look!

Goddamnit!

sh*t!

Fall back!

Sato!

Ito!

Ota!

Ota!

Ota.

I won't make it.

You'll be fine.

Good luck.

Long live

The Emperor.

Help.

Help.

Help.

Help me.

Help me.

Please.

What're you doing?

Help.

Help me.

Don't do it!

Damn you!

Sato!

Sato.

Sato.

You knew, right?

You knew the Allies' planes

were going to b*mb this cave.

You should thank me.

I saved your life.

If you'd been at the camp,

you'd have been bombed to shreds.

b*stard!

You're no different from me.

You said you were our friend,

but you betrayed the Thai people!

But soon you'll f*cking lose the w*r!

No! We won't!

When the railway is completed,

Japan will be victorious!

Your railway was already destroyed

by the bombs.

You're w*r criminals.

You're no victors!

Tamaura!

Tamaura!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Sato.

What happened to Sato?

Sato.

- Wait, this

- Sato

We have to go.

Must be the white men's bombers.

- Sanor.

- What?

Did you know

they were going to b*mb this place?

I didn't.

Boonchu only hired me

to take that white prisoner away.

They must've waited until he was safe

before attacking.

But why save only one man?

That's Boonchu's instruction.

The rest isn't important to us.

This f*ck works for the Japs.

Sanor, you betrayed me!

The necklace.

The necklace!

Sanor.

Sato!

Sato!

Sato!

Chief,

if we lose the w*r,

do we have any choice other than suicide?

Chief, how can my wife and child live?

Keep your spirit up.

We're not going to lose.

The rocks have blocked all the exits.

We have to find another way out.

Right, sir.

Chief, I have an idea.

Let's blast our way out

with these dynamites.

We can't do that,

or we'll end up like Ota.

Ota

What happened to him?

Ota

- Ota.

- Tamura!

Ota!

- Ota!

- Calm down, Tamura.

Ota!

What the hell is this?

Where's Ota?

Damn!

Sanor. What're you doing?

I'm going down to get the necklace.

Hold on.

What necklace?

My father made it for me.

Sanor.

I'll go.

Sanor.

Hold this.

Sanor!

I found it.

Who's there?

Who are you?

I'm out.

What turned Ravi into that thing?

Maybe this is what happened

to the miners who disappeared.

Have you heard anything about it before?

My father told me.

Why didn't your father come?

He's disappeared

since the last time

he broke the prisoners out.

But I believe that he's still alive.

Relax, it's me!

f*ck, it's Boonchu.

f*ck, it's not Boonchu.

Aim!

Stop!

Are you alright?

Are you alright?

We have to go.

Why are you siding with the Japanese?

Akira saved me when I caught malaria.

He then asked me to work for him.

But they razed our village.

Don't you feel anything?

Renja, you've spent too much time

with the Japanese

and become one of them.

I

Am on your side, Sanor.

What's this? Must be something big.

Maybe the molt of some reptile.

The Omukade

There's light over there.

Sanor

Don't move.

The Omukade is a monster

in Japanese folklore.

It hides in the bodies

of animals or humans.

We must get out of here.

Talk later.

- Renja.

- Watch out, sir.

The creature is inside him.

Why did you do that?

Legend has it that

smearing saliva on a blade

will let it cut through the monster.

- Come on.

- Wait.

The Omukade is afraid of fire.

But he's holding a torch.

Where have you been?

Do you know the cave entrance

has been blocked?

I do.

I'm looking for a way out.

Where's Boonchu?

Sanor.

Renja.

- Renja!

- Hey!

Sanor.

Stop!

Renja.

Renja.

Renja.

Be careful.

Huh?

Nortong.

Nortong.

Nortong.

Master

Recognize this?

What are you doing?

Blow into it, and I'll come to you

whenever you get lost.

Right.

Sanor

Run!

- Chief, run!

- Yeah.

Master.

Why are you here?

I was helping the prisoner escape

when the monster suddenly appeared

and k*lled everyone.

Good thing I fell into a hole

between the rocks.

It was too massive to slip through.

That's how I survived.

Where did you get it?

I found it.

Sanor must've dropped it.

My daughter is here?

Yes, Master.

But

I have no idea where she is now.

That old creep,

why was he so angry seeing us?

Our uniform isn't the most loved

around here.

Should we take it off then?

The molt of the Tabongplum Centipede.

Rub it on your body,

and it'll think we're one of them.

Anything there?

Chief,

if we can't find an exit,

what will happen to us?

Then we'll rot in here.

In that case, we should go back to Renja.

He must have some ideas.

I guess so.

Master, how far is it?

The mine is deep under the water.

We have to dive through it

To find an exit.

Why haven't you escaped then?

It's not as simple as it sounds.

Master.

Sanor's not far.

Master. Let's go find Sanor.

These centipedes are sl*ves

of the Tabongplum.

They're an ancient species dwelling here

through the centuries.

So huge and lethal,

they can fell an elephant.

Their venomous fangs

can incapacitate their prey.

Then they drill into the paralyzed flesh,

turning their prey into walking monsters

that serve them in turn.

Are they there?

Those cadavers we just passed

were once miners who worked here.

Now they've become god-knows-what.

Some of them were captured

and fed to the young.

I think.

Sanor must have been taken here too.

The queen is hatching.

We must find Sanor now!

Sanor!

Luckily I put saliva on the sword.

What on earth are those things?

Same thing that happened to Boonchu.

Chief.

- Let's keep going.

- Yeah.

What the f*ck!

Hang in there, sir!

Keep moving!

Tamura!

Chief!

My wife and child

Please take care of them.

Renja.

Father.

Sanor.

Come here, now!

Come here, now!

Come, child!

Get up!

Hurry!

Follow me!

Run!

Hurry!

Watch out!

Renja!

Renja!

Renja!

Renja!

Watch out!

It's collapsing!

Renja!

Run!

Renja!

Run!

Sanor!

Sanor!

Sanor.

Sanor.

Sanor.

Sanor.

- Sanor.

- Sanor.

Sanor.

Sanor

I don't want to see your face again.

Watch out!

Everybody loves and is ready

to protect their homeland.

In the face of invasion,

we must fight to the death

to save the home we vow never to lose.

Like the Omukade fighting

without any fear of death

to protect its nest.

If I could choose,

I would never want to be the invader.

But in reality,

I didn't have a choice.

Long live the Emperor.

After Japan lost the w*r,

I was taken as a prisoner of w*r.

But that made me feel

the taste of freedom.

The future, once darkened,

has become brighter.

The wounds that all of us sustained

from the w*r slowly begin to fade.
