**[00:01] (Flashback) Xeno**
Capacitor charged.
**[00:04] (Flashback) Xeno**
Replacing the accelerator with
low-resistance copper alloy.
**[00:09] (Flashback) Xeno**
Wind speed: approximately 2.8 knots.
**[00:12] (Flashback) Xeno**
41 degrees Fahrenheit.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Xeno**
All conditions green.
**[00:20] (Flashback) Xeno**
Commence the experiment.
**[00:33] (Flashback) Xeno**
Aluminum doesn't quite give
me the precision I need.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Xeno**
I may need to make custom projectiles
with an offset center of mass.
**[00:41] (Flashback) Stanley**
Lower the firing angle by 1.27 degrees.
**[00:46] (Flashback) Stanley**
It isn't your gun's fault that you missed.
**[00:49] (Flashback) Stanley**
It's just a matter of skill.
**[00:52] (Flashback) Xeno**
So you think you can hit it, then?
**[00:54] (Flashback) Stanley**
I can.
**[01:01] (Flashback) Xeno**
Elegant indeed.
**[01:04] (Flashback) Xeno**
To think you calculated the
trajectory on pure intuituion...
**[01:07] (Flashback) Stanley**
This is no ordinary gun.
**[01:09] (Flashback) Stanley**
Who made this?
**[01:11] (Flashback) Stanley**
You?
**[01:12] (Flashback) Xeno**
When you say "this," which
one are you referring to?
**[01:15] (Flashback) Xeno**
This particle accelerator?
This ring launcher?
**[01:18] (Flashback) Xeno**
The one we just shot is called a rail gun.
**[01:21] (Flashback) Xeno**
It fires projectiles not with gunpowder,
**[01:23] (Flashback) Xeno**
but with magnetism—
that is, with the Lorentz force.
**[01:28] (Flashback) Stanley**
What, are you trying to start
a revolution or something?
**[01:31] (Flashback) Xeno**
That doesn't sound like a bad idea.
**[01:33] (Flashback) Xeno**
I simply want to experiment and assess the
rules and principles underlying all things.
**[01:37] (Flashback) Xeno**
The purpose of science is to reveal
the mechanisms of this world
**[01:41] (Flashback) Xeno**
and make new, unknown discoveries.
**[01:45] (Flashback) Xeno**
Aerospace engineering brought
to life a space probe
**[01:49] (Flashback) Xeno**
that captured the fantastical scenery
of Mars, 75,280,000 kilometers away.
**[01:55] (Flashback) Xeno**
Meanwhile, quantum mechanics is
unraveling the mysteries of the universe
**[02:00] (Flashback) Xeno**
on a scale of quintillionths of a meter.
**[02:03] (Flashback) Xeno**
The joy of science is in the endless
exploration and new discoveries that it offers.
**[02:08] (Flashback) Xeno**
Science is elegant!
**[02:14] (Flashback) Stanley**
You're an odd one.
**[02:18] (Flashback) Stanley**
Stanley.
**[02:23] (Flashback) Stanley**
It's a handshake. Don't you know of them?
**[02:26] (Flashback) Xeno**
I'm aware of it on an intellectual level.
**[02:30] (Flashback) Xeno**
But...
**[02:34] (Flashback) Xeno**
This is my first time
actually engaging in one.
**[02:37] (Flashback) Stanley**
Same for me.
**[02:40] (Flashback) Xeno**
I'm Xeno.
**[02:41] (Flashback) Xeno**
Stanley, allow me to show you
the beautiful light of science.
**[02:56] Senku**
You're finally awake.
**[03:01] Senku**
Good morning, Doctor Xeno.
***SIGN*** Watching the Same Moon
**[04:44] Tsukasa**
All right. We need to clarify
our direction going forward.
**[04:48] Tsukasa**
To that end, let's start by going
over our current situation.
**[04:52] Gen**
Yup, that's definitely important.
**[04:54] Gen**
We need to get our new
buddies up to speed, too.
**[04:59] Ukyo**
So...
**[05:00] Ukyo**
We want to revive humanity by the billions.
**[05:05] Ukyo**
So we came to the Americas in search of corn.
**[05:08] Gen**
That's when we ended up in a battle with
a crazy good science dude named Xeno-chan.
**[05:13] Tsukasa**
And he took our ship and our men.
**[05:17] Tsukasa**
But in return...
**[05:19] Chrome**
We captured the enemy boss, Xeno!
**[05:23] Ukyo**
With hostages on both sides,
we agreed to make Corn City a safe zone.
**[05:29] Gen**
But now, we're fleeing in this tiny boat
**[05:34] Gen**
from master sniper Stanley Snyder-chan
and his fully-armed special forces.
**[05:42] Gen**
Their carrier is coming after
us to take Xeno-chan back!
**[05:46] Gen**
This is just too much!
**[05:48] Suika**
There's no way we can win!
**[05:50] Ukyo**
Yeah, well, when you put it that way...
**[05:54] Senku**
Yup, that's right.
**[05:56] Senku**
We're gonna keep dodging
Stanley-sensei as we head...
**[06:03] Senku**
to South America!
**[06:06] Ryusui**
Off to South America!
**[06:08] Ryusui**
Straight to the source of the
wretched petrification beam!
**[06:12] Chrome**
Imagine if there's a giant petrification
device there or something.
**[06:17] Kaseki**
We might find something amazing there!
**[06:19] Suika**
I can't wait!
**[06:22] Kohaku**
Why are you guys so excited?
**[06:24] Kohaku**
We're being pursued.
**[06:28] Xeno**
Supposing there's been something at
the source for thousands of years...
**[06:34] Xeno**
Dr. Senku, would you consider that
**[06:39] Xeno**
it might belong to people from the Moon?
**[06:45] Xeno**
Ah, so you did know.
**[06:48] Senku**
You, too, Xeno.
**[06:50] Senku**
Obviously, with so much big microwave
energy coming at us from the moon,
**[06:54] Senku**
we were bound hear it.
**[06:56] Xeno**
The two top scientists of
the new world are both here.
**[07:01] Xeno**
Combine our efforts, and we might be able
to monopolize it to make a new weapon.
**[07:08] Senku**
Not that I care to monopolize anything.
**[07:11] Xeno**
Together, the two of us *will* get to the bottom
of the petrification beam and the Moon.
**[07:20] Senku**
All right, why don't we, master and
student, start by sharing notes?
**[07:25] Xeno**
Very well. Science is elegant!
**[07:40] Maya**
We're heading out as soon
as we load up on fuel.
**[07:44] Maya**
To get Xeno back.
**[07:46] Xeno Soldier A**
You people, to the fortress!
**[07:51] Nikki**
Point that gun elsewhere!
**[07:53] Nikki**
This is a ceasefire zone now.
**[07:55] Nikki**
We're all on equal footing here.
**[08:04] Kinro**
*Ginro's missing. Where is he?*
**[08:09] Yuzuriha**
Matsukaze-kun!
**[08:11] Matsukaze**
I must go in and retrieve Ginro-dono.
**[08:16] Xeno Soldier B**
Hurry up and get moving!
**[08:18] Yuzuriha**
He's too severely wounded.
**[08:20] Minami**
There's no way he can walk!
**[08:23] Homura**
Carry him too far, and he'll die.
**[08:32] Maya**
I threw him in the med bay.
**[08:35] Xeno Soldier C**
We're taking him on our ship?
**[08:38] Stanley**
That's fine.
**[08:39] Stanley**
If he dies, we can throw him in the ocean.
**[08:41] Stanley**
And we can use him as a hostage if
we show him to the science kids.
**[08:51] Kinro**
*We're counting on you, Matsukaze.*
**[09:03] Ginro**
Guys...
**[09:05] Matsukaze**
Ginro-dono.
**[09:11] Ginro**
Matsukaze came back for me!
**[09:14] Ginro**
You vanished right after you hid me!
**[09:16] Ginro**
I didn't know what to do!
**[09:19] Matsukaze**
To think you were hidden in
the enemy ship all this time...
**[09:22] Matsukaze**
I understand your plan, Ginro-dono!
**[09:26] Matsukaze**
You are hiding out here so you
can learn of their situation!
**[09:32] Ginro**
Yeah, well, something like that.
**[09:35] Ginro**
You get it, Matsukaze.
**[09:38] Ginro**
You know my *deep* plot!
**[09:40] Ginro**
But the thing is, now that I think
about it, I should get out...
**[09:44] Ginro**
I mean, it might not be a good
idea for me to be such a hero.
**[09:48] Matsukaze**
I, Matsukaze, shall at least
serve as your guard...
**[09:53] Ginro**
Matsukaze?!
**[09:55] Ginro**
He's hurt?!
**[09:56] Ginro**
Matsukaze, are you okay?!
**[09:58] Ginro**
What am I supposed to do?!
**[10:04] Maya**
All right, here goes the
Doctor Xeno Retrieval Tour!
**[10:13] Maya**
You can feel the music in the air!
**[10:29] Stanley**
Torture time.
**[10:32] Maya**
Wanna tell us where they went?
**[10:36] Matsukaze**
Do as you wish.
**[10:38] Matsukaze**
No matter what I must endure,
I, Matsukaze, will not betray my masters.
**[10:43] Matsukaze**
I will never divulge their destination!
**[10:47] Matsukaze**
*You must stay put, Ginro-dono.*
**[10:49] Matsukaze**
*No matter what happens to me...*
**[10:52] Ginro**
*H-H-He's right...*
**[10:55] Ginro**
*My job right now is to stay in hiding.*
**[10:57] Ginro**
*Like, it's the smart thing to do, y'know?*
**[11:01] Ginro**
* My job right now is to stay safe,*
* no matter how painful it is for him.*
**[11:08] Ginro**
S-S-South America!
**[11:10] Ginro**
It's a place called South America!
**[11:20] Ginro**
I'm sorry, Matsukaze, everyone.
**[11:37] Byakuya**
*I don't know who's listening to this*
**[11:39] Byakuya**
* hundreds, maybe thousands*
* of years from now...*
**[11:43] Byakuya**
*But I'm the astronaut Ishigami Byakuya.*
**[11:49] Xeno**
I see.
**[11:51] Xeno**
So he evaded the petrification
beam because he was in space.
**[11:56] Xeno**
And the astronauts were...
**[11:59] Xeno**
The Russians...
**[12:01] Xeno**
Connie...
**[12:02] Xeno**
Lilian, and...
**[12:05] Xeno**
Byakuya.
**[12:08] Xeno**
He was a man who had command
**[12:10] Xeno**
of two incompatible notions,
those of emotion and reason.
**[12:15] Xeno**
I could never come to an
understanding with him.
**[12:21] Xeno**
But to think he sent information to the
future through records and storytelling...
**[12:26] Xeno**
That's very much something
I would expect of him.
**[12:38] Byakuya**
We've figured it out from up here in space!
**[12:41] Byakuya**
The petrification beam started
somewhere in South America.
**[12:45] Byakuya**
What are you all going to find there?
**[12:47] Byakuya**
Science is all yours now!
**[12:53] Senku**
We're gonna crunch this precious information
with our brains going at full tilt, Xeno.
**[12:58] Senku**
And we're gonna get there
one step at a time!
**[13:02] Xeno**
Indeed.
**[13:03] Xeno**
Let us pinpoint the exact
longitude and latitude together,
**[13:09] Xeno**
to discover the origin of the mystery that
petrified all humanity thousands of years ago!
**[13:20] Luna**
Are you sure about this?
**[13:22] Luna**
Don't we have more important
things to do than have tea?
**[13:25] Ryusui**
If anything, it would be unmannerly
of us to interrupt those two.
**[13:28] Ryusui**
Am I right?
**[13:29] Ginro**
The two top scientists across
millennia are collaborating.
**[13:36] Suika**
Chrome, why do you seem so restless?
**[13:39] Chrome**
I'm not restless!
**[13:42] Kohaku**
You seem mighty restless.
**[13:45] Chrome**
Oh, Francois!
**[13:46] Chrome**
I'll carry the tea and snacks!
**[13:50] Kohaku**
He wants any excuse he can
find to listen in on them.
**[14:00] Chrome**
*Right now, I bet they're...*
**[14:14] Chrome**
Crap, those are some huge bubbles.
**[14:16] Chrome**
This looks hella fun!
**[14:18] Chrome**
Lemme in!
**[14:20] Chrome**
Wait, no!
**[14:21] Chrome**
Why are you guys playing around?!
**[14:23] Xeno**
We are not playing. This is a model.
**[14:26] Xeno**
Throw some glycerin into the
surfactant we made for shampoo,
**[14:30] Xeno**
and you get gigantic super bubbles.
**[14:33] Chrome**
Xeno isn't even tied down!
**[14:35] Senku**
Yeah, not until we're done here.
**[14:38] Senku**
He isn't running.
**[14:39] Kaseki**
Okay, I made that thing you asked for!
**[14:43] Xeno**
Ah, elegant work!
**[14:46] Xeno**
Suppose the petrification
device goes off in Brazil.
**[14:54] Xeno**
A planet-scale freak beam spreads over a radius
of 12,800 kilometers, engulfing Earth.
**[15:01] Xeno**
That's the calamity that drove humanity to
near-extinction thousands of years ago.
**[15:06] Chrome**
That's so clear!
**[15:09] Senku**
You went all-out on this display.
**[15:11] Senku**
Aesthetics matter if you
want an elegant solution.
**[15:15] Chrome**
He did build a ridiculous castle.
**[15:18] Chrome**
Senku's all about optimization.
**[15:22] Chrome**
You're a lot more about form, huh, Xeno?
**[15:26] Chrome**
Hang on! Just a sec!
**[15:28] Chrome**
Crap, this doesn't make sense!
**[15:30] Chrome**
If it really is like this model...
**[15:33] Chrome**
From Senku's perspective on the other side
of the planet, the petrification beam...
**[15:38] Chrome**
would have come from the ground, wouldn't it?
**[15:42] Senku**
Exactly.
**[15:44] Senku**
But in reality, it came from beyond
the horizon like a tidal wave.
**[15:51] Senku**
We're gonna dredge up whatever
hint we can from that paradox.
**[15:55] Chrome**
So why the light came from the
side rather than below, huh?
**[16:02] Chrome**
This is just my gut talking, but...
**[16:03] Chrome**
What if the beam takes just a tad
longer to pass through the ground?
**[16:07] Chrome**
I mean, like...
**[16:09] Chrome**
It seems kinda tight and cramped, y'know?
**[16:13] Xeno**
A fascinating hypothesis.
**[16:15] Xeno**
But what's important for a
science pro is not gut feelings,
**[16:19] Xeno**
but for a phenomenon to be objectively
reproducible, no matter who tries it.
**[16:25] Chrome**
Objectively reproducible?
**[16:30] Xeno**
Let's say someone here
insists they can see ghosts.
**[16:35] Xeno**
Why do you think a person of science
wouldn't be interested in that?
**[16:40] Chrome**
Because there's no such thing as ghosts.
**[16:42] Senku**
Nope.
**[16:43] Senku**
They'd ten billion percent
study the hell out of it.
**[16:47] Senku**
But only if this so-called ghost
keeps causing the same effects.
**[16:53] Xeno**
He or she sees a ghost.
**[16:57] Xeno**
Whether that's true or not
is supremely irrelevant.
**[17:03] Xeno**
But if there's something that
anyone can reproduce...
**[17:07] Xeno**
say, a slight drop in temperature
whenever there are ghosts around...
**[17:10] Senku**
You could use the temperature
difference to generate
**[17:13] Senku**
a crapload of electricity
with a Stirling engine!
**[17:15] Xeno**
A ghost generator!
**[17:16] Xeno**
How very elegant!
**[17:19] Xeno**
That would even solve
humanity's energy crisis.
**[17:24] Chrome**
There's gotta be more to science
than obsessing over efficiency.
**[17:27] Senku**
We're way off-topic, idiot.
**[17:30] Chrome**
You were all about it, too, Senku.
**[17:32] Xeno**
The point is...
**[17:35] Xeno**
We must now pursue reproducibility
of the petrification beam
**[17:39] Xeno**
to reconcile our respective truths.
**[17:41] Senku**
I was petrified in the middle
of the day, at 12:40:20.
**[17:46] Xeno**
It was exactly 8:25 at night for me.
**[17:50] Xeno**
We were at Pinnacles National Park,
so taking time zones into account,
**[17:56] Xeno**
it arrived at Tokyo fifteen minutes
and twenty seconds later.
**[18:00] Senku**
So it would have taken a few dozen
minutes to cover the planet.
**[18:06] Senku**
That's hella weird.
**[18:08] Chrome**
How is that weird?
**[18:10] Senku**
The space station Byakuya and his team were
on didn't just sit in the same spot in the sky.
**[18:16] Senku**
It went around and around Earth.
**[18:20] Senku**
It would have done half a loop
in a few dozen minutes.
**[18:25] Chrome**
There's no way it wouldn't have
plunged into the petrification beam!
**[18:29] Xeno**
In other words, the wave of light covered
the entire planet at a rather low altitude.
**[18:36] Xeno**
It isn't even light.
**[18:38] Xeno**
It would have been faster if it were.
**[18:41] Xeno**
If it were some kind of luminous body...
**[18:43] Xeno**
and if the front flowed across the
surface, held down by gravity...
**[18:46] Xeno**
it would match our observations.
**[18:49] Senku**
We're taking that hypothesis
**[18:51] Senku**
and mashing together what we saw
from our respective vantage points.
**[18:55] Xeno**
If we're going to calculate the
angle from which the light came,
**[18:58] Xeno**
we'll need to think about the
temperature and weather of the moment.
**[19:17] Xeno**
Very elegant indeed!
**[19:20] Xeno**
This reasoning ought to
lead to new discoveries.
**[19:25] (Flashback) Xeno**
The joy of science is in the endless
exploration and new discoveries that it offers.
**[19:34] Kohaku**
Chrome is mighty late.
**[19:36] Kohaku**
He's been gone since he went
to spy on Senku and Xeno.
**[19:53] Xeno**
From the moment we saw
the light on the horizon...
**[19:56] Xeno**
...to when we were petrified...
**[20:00] Xeno**
56 seconds passed.
***SIGN*** 56 seconds
**[20:08] Chrome**
The petrification beam doesn't change
speed at all as it's growing.
**[20:15] Senku**
That discovery of yours, Chrome,
is another stupidly useful reproducible fact.
**[20:22] Xeno**
Its speed is constant.
**[20:24] Xeno**
Now, how high into the air did the
petrification beam rise above the surface?
**[20:28] Senku**
It petrified everyone on a plane, too.
**[20:32] Xeno**
Then we can guesstimate the light to
have reached 20,000 meters in altitude.
**[20:35] Senku**
Assuming the atmosphere has
a refractive index of 1.06,
**[20:37] Senku**
the horizon would have
shone 500 kilometers away.
**[20:40] Xeno**
If it traveled that distance in 56 seconds,
then the beam's speed was...
**[20:44] Xeno**
I've got it! 32,000 kilometers per hour!
**[20:47] Senku**
Your place got petrified fifteen minutes
and twenty seconds ahead of my place.
**[20:52] Senku**
Therefore,
**[20:53] Senku**
constructing a shortest distance line from
the epicenter along the earth's ellipsoid,
**[20:57] Senku**
the point exactly 8,181 kilometers
away is our bullseye!
**[21:02] Xeno**
That's most definitely correct.
**[21:06] Chrome**
Therefore what, though?!
**[21:08] Chrome**
There's nothing to fore!
**[21:09] Chrome**
You guys are done calculating way before
I can even see where you're going!
**[21:13] Senku**
Now we just need an angle.
**[21:14] Senku**
Ballpark is good enough.
**[21:15] Xeno**
Yeah.
**[21:16] Xeno**
These are all approximations,
but if we combine deductions,
**[21:21] Xeno**
the solution will emerge on its own.
**[21:25] Xeno**
The celestial bodies and the shadow cast
by my desk give me a rough recollection.
**[21:30] Senku**
Seven Skytrees to the left.
**[21:34] Senku**
*We never could have gotten here alone.*
**[21:40] Xeno**
*But with our minds together...*
**[21:43] Senku**
*We can achieve.*
**[21:51] Senku**
Two lines can only meet another at one point.
**[21:56] Senku**
It's 3 degrees 7 minutes south,
60 degrees 1 minute west.
**[22:01] Xeno; Senku**
That is where the root of everything is!
**[22:10] Senku**
This is exhilarating!
