[00:02] Senku
    South America.
[00:04] Senku
    Upper Amazon.
[00:06] Senku
    3 degrees 7 minutes south,
    60 degrees 1 minute west.
[00:10] Senku
    There lies the secret of the petrification.
[00:18] Ryusui
    I want it!
[00:19] Ryusui
    No matter what we may find at the very
    source of humanity's destruction, I want it!
[00:24] Hyoga
    Or we may find nothing.
[00:26] Hyoga
    It's been millennia, after all.
[00:28] Senku
    Yeah.
[00:29] Senku
    We're going to South America to
    make a super-alloy city, anyway.
[00:34] Senku
    We might as well swing by the epicenter.
[00:36] Taiju
    So it's gonna be a grand Amazon
    adventure and treasure hunt!
[00:40] Chrome
    Crap, I'm getting pumped!
[00:43] Gen
    The Amazon's massive, you know.
[00:47] Gen
    We're headed right to the middle,
    but, like... are we walking there?
[00:53] Ukyo
    That's not happening.
[00:54] Ukyo
    There's no way we're conquering
    the Amazon by foot.
[00:57] Ukyo
    It's almost certain death, even for
    fully-equipped 21st century travelers.
[01:00] Senku
    Like the mosquitoes that'll
    sting you through your clothes
[01:04] Senku
    or all those bugs that lay eggs in human flesh.
[01:09] Senku
    Which is why we're going to
    have to take a giant detour
[01:14] Senku
    through the sea along the Amazon River.
[01:16] Gen
    S-S-Seriously?!
[01:18] Gen
    How many years is that going to
    take on this dinky-ass boat?!
[01:23] Senku
    The bigger problem is fuel.
[01:29] Xeno
    We land every time we run out of fuel...
[01:34] Xeno
    and stock up on lumber.
[01:37] Xeno
    We run our six engines on charcoal gas
    and slow-walk our way to our destination.
[01:44] Xeno
    This ship would be able to pull it off.
[01:48] Xeno
    But...
[01:53] Stanley
    I'm awash in fuel and oil.
[01:57] Stanley
    I'm way faster.
[01:59] Stanley
    You aren't outrunning me, youth science team.
[04:01] Suika
    We have to go as fast as we can!
[04:04] Suika
    We're done for if Stanley catches up to us!
[04:10] Max
    Miss?!
[04:12] Luna
    What?
[04:12] Max
    I'll take over!
[04:14] Luna
    I'm perfectly fine.
[04:16] Luna
    I'm the capable woman Luna!
[04:31] Senku
    That meathead's still at it?
[04:34] Kohaku
    Taiju does have infinite stamina.
[04:42] Suika
    It's way past sunset, though.
[04:47] Tsukasa
    However strong one may be,
    rest and replenishment are vital.
[04:53] Tsukasa
    Shall we bring him a meal?
[04:55] Suika
    I'll do it!
[04:59] Taiju
    I've got this!
[05:00] Taiju
    I'll work all night so that everyone
    can get a little more rest!
[05:05] Suika
    Taiju!
[05:08] Suika
    Dinner time!
[05:10] Taiju
    Suika!
[05:12] Taiju
    I appreciate it.
[05:16] Taiju
    What are those floating letters?!
[05:19] Suika
    Wh-Wh-What is that?!
[05:24] Taiju
    Hell!
[05:26] Taiju
    Um...
[05:28] Taiju
    It says "hell"!
[05:29] Taiju
    Guys!
[05:34] Taiju
    Guys!
[05:38] Kohaku
    What is it?
[05:39] Suika
    Wh-Why-Man's here!
[05:44] Taiju
    There's no doubt!
[05:45] Taiju
    He's the only one who could do that to the sky!
[05:55] Luna
    C-C-Creepy! What is that?
[06:00] Kohaku
    I see something that looks like a frame
    around each of the shining letters.
[06:05] Kohaku
    Just barely.
[06:07] Senku
    Kites.
[06:08] Xeno
    And phosphorescent paint.
[06:10] Luna
    What's this phosphorescent-whatsit?
[06:13] Senku
    Y'know, glow-in-the-dark stuff.
[06:15] Luna
    You don't mean fluorescent paint?
[06:18] Senku
    That's something else.
    That's the stuff used in markers.
[06:33] Ryusui
    Who is that?
[06:34] Tsukasa
    Doctor Xeno, do you have any idea?
[06:37] Xeno
    No.
[07:02] Suika
    She's making the same face I did!
[07:06] Suika
    She's got serious fuzzy sickness!
[07:12] Chelsea
    Is someone there?
[07:15] Chelsea
    There is, isn't there?
[07:17] Chelsea
    I see you!
[07:18] Chelsea
    Wow, wow, wow!
[07:23] Chelsea
    Woo-hoo!
[07:27] Senku
    Yeah, Suika nailed it.
[07:30] Chrome
    How did you survive on your
    own with your eyesight?
[07:55] Chelsea
    I can see! It's freaky!
[07:57] Chelsea
    I can see so well, it's freaky!
[08:00] Chelsea
    Thank you so much!
[08:02] Gen
    Freaky?
[08:03] Taiju
    Good for you!
[08:06] Xeno
    You're... Doctor Chelsea.
[08:11] Chelsea
    Xeno-chan!
[08:13] Chelsea
    Oh, I'm so rude.
[08:15] Chelsea
    Sorry, I got so excited that I pointed at you.
[08:19] Senku
    What, you know her, Xeno?
[08:22] Xeno
    No. This is our first time meeting.
[08:24] Chelsea
    Nah, not our first.
[08:26] Chelsea
    We met before, remember?
[08:27] Chelsea
    At the national park, on the
    day before the expert meeting.
[08:36] Chelsea
    You glanced.
[08:38] Chelsea
    That makes us BFFs!
[08:41] Gen
    How low can your threshold for
    making friends be, Chelsea-chan?
[08:46] Xeno
    Senku, you practically drew her here.
SIGN    Petrified swallows?!
[08:51] Xeno
    From the post stats on social media and
    the geographical distribution of swallows,
[08:56] Xeno
    you confirmed that the petrified
    swallows were a real thing.
[08:59] Xeno
    That was your analysis, wasn't it?
[09:02] Xeno
    And so she was invited to the
    meeting as one of the experts.
[09:07] Xeno
    A prodigal teen geographer, Doctor Chelsea.
[09:12] Xeno
    The entire planet is stored in her head.
[09:17] Chelsea
    Man, you're really laying it on thick, Xeno.
[09:20] Chelsea
    You're making me blush.
[09:21] Chelsea
    Although I'm only barely a teenager now.
[09:28] (Flashback) Stanley
    Retreat!
[09:29] (Flashback) Stanley
    Get behind cover!
[09:32] (Flashback) Stanley
    Maintain consciousness, no matter what!
[09:34] (Flashback) Chelsea
    Dang it! I have to—
[09:38] (Flashback) Chelsea
    Oh, crap!
[09:51] Chelsea
    I figured I'd stayed awake like
    the soldier told us to, and...
[09:58] Chelsea
    I freaked out when I became unpetrified
    all of a sudden... last year!
[10:04] (Flashback) Chelsea
    The heck?! I'm naked!
[10:05] (Flashback) Chelsea
    Lawl!
[10:07] Xeno
    So she awoke three years after we did.
[10:13] Xeno
    Did you not see the sign
    directing you north?
[10:16] Xeno
    Why didn't you meet up with us?
[10:18] Chelsea
    Sign?
[10:20] Chelsea
    What sign?
[10:24] (Flashback) Chelsea
    If anyone's still around,
    they'll be by the river.
[10:26] (Flashback) Chelsea
    Guess I'll follow the river.
[10:31] (Flashback) Chelsea
    North or south?
[10:33] (Flashback) Chelsea
    Pick a direction!
[10:34] (Flashback) Chelsea
    South!
[10:35] All
    That's where you made the wrong choice!
[10:38] Chelsea
    Hang on, you're all treating me
    like I'm a dumb-dumb! You suck!
[10:42] Chelsea
    Between north and south,
    who would ever pick north?!
[10:44] Chelsea
    I could hit the orange orchards in California!
[10:49] Gen
    Most people wouldn't be so
    familiar with the geography.
[10:54] Senku
    Chelsea, do you have any recollection
[10:56] Senku
    of all the flora distributions?
[10:59] Chelsea
    More or less.
[11:00] Chelsea
    Just well enough.
[11:01] Chelsea
    I love my field work.
[11:05] Chelsea
    So anyway, I found sphalerite in the gravel,
[11:09] Chelsea
    boiled it up to make phosphorescent
    paint, made kites, and...
[11:14] Gen
    Oh!
[11:15] Gen
    Were these kites supposed to
    say "HELP" and not "HELL"?
[11:19] Chelsea
    Yeah!
[11:20] Chelsea
    I ran out of paint in the end.
[11:21] Chelsea
    I couldn't see well enough to notice.
[11:25] Senku
    This is our destination.
[11:28] Senku
    We'll have to take the long
    way around via the sea.
[11:31] Senku
    But if we can take a shortcut across the
    land, we might be able to lose Stanley.
[11:37] Senku
    Do you know of any back channels, geographer?
[11:50] Chelsea
    Here.
[11:52] Chelsea
    There's just one spot!
[11:53] Chelsea
    There's a teeny chance we can
    cross South America through here.
[11:57] Chelsea
    We land in northern Ecuador
    and hop over the mountains.
[12:01] Chelsea
    From there, we just water-slide
    our way down the Amazon.
[12:06] Ryusui
    Are we walking after we land?
[12:08] Chelsea
    Right? That's the pickle.
[12:10] Chelsea
    Walking will unalive us for real.
[12:12] Ukyo
    There's no way we'd make it through
    the rain forest in a car, though.
[12:17] Chelsea
    Lemme think...
[12:19] Chelsea
    What if we had a small off-roader?
[12:21] Chelsea
    Like, say, a bike.
[12:24] Chelsea
    Not that we have any.
[12:25] Senku
    You're right. We don't have any bikes.
[12:29] Senku
    Which means...
[12:31] Gen
    Which means?
[12:34] Senku
    We're making some!
[12:36] Gen
    Of course we are.

[12:57] Senku
    We'll build six bikes and rip
    through the South American fields!
[13:12] Kaseki
    We're gonna be sailing for a while!
[13:15] Kaseki
    I'm gonna get started on what I can!
[13:22] Gen
    Yeah, that's the appropriate reaction
    to being told that we're building bikes.
[13:28] Gen
    Well, here's what's going on.
[13:31] Gen
    We think the guy behind humanity's
    petrification is on the moon.
[13:35] Gen
    That's why we're on a grand world adventure
    to gather materials to go to the moon.
[13:41] Gen
    And in South America, where we're headed,
    is the epicenter of the petrification beam.
[13:49] Chelsea
    Wow!
[13:50] Chelsea
    Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow!
[13:53] Chelsea
    What the heck?!
[13:54] Chelsea
    You're mental! Freaks! I love it!
[13:58] Hyoga
    If there's still a petrification
    device at the epicenter,
[14:02] Hyoga
    we could even strike back at
    Stanley-kun before he reaches us.
[14:07] Kohaku
    On the other hand, if Stanley
[14:10] Kohaku
    or Xeno there got their hands on it,
    they'd become truly unstoppable.
[14:15] Suika
    Oh, no!
[14:18] Gen
    True. It's a double-edged sword.
[14:22] Gen
    We have to make it to the epicenter first.
[14:25] Chelsea
    Yup! Xeno-chan's the bad guy!
[14:29] Chelsea
    Look at me, pointing again. So rude. Sorry.
[14:32] Chelsea
    Also, stop hoarding all the weapons and stuff!
[14:36] Chelsea
    You stink! Even though you're a genius.
[14:41] Gen
    Chelsea's really going in.
[14:44] Carlos
    Personal space!
[14:46] Suika
    I'm jealous. She's not the least bit shy.
[14:49] Suika
    I'm the exact opposite.
[14:51] Suika
    I wish I could be like that.
[14:54] Xeno
    Doctor Chelsea,
[14:56] Xeno
    you're an elegant geographer indeed.
[14:59] Xeno
    Why not join us so we can
    lead the world together?
[15:05] Chelsea
    Hell naw.
[15:07] Chelsea
    Y'know why?
[15:09] Chelsea
    Because this adventure looks more fun!
[15:11] Chelsea
    Plus I owe Senku and Kaseki for my glasses.
[15:15] Chelsea
    Ask me anything!
[15:16] Chelsea
    I'll help the crap out of you.

[15:19] [SONG] Text
    Chelsea has
    joined the party!
[15:20] Senku
    Ah, Chelsea, there's a material we need
    your geography powers to find ASAP.
[15:27] Senku
    Rubber.
[15:29] Luna
    You can find rubber in nature?
[15:31] Max
    Is it even that important?
[15:36] Xeno
    Our American team couldn't find any, either.
[15:38] Xeno
    We struggled to find workable alternatives.
[15:42] Xeno
    It's a particularly special item
    for science and engineering.
[15:46] Chelsea
    You're totally brain buddies already.
[15:50] Xeno
    But most of all, for tires.
[15:54] Xeno
    Skis and bamboo wheels are no match for tires.
[15:56] Senku
    Yeah.
[15:58] Senku
    They revolutionize human mobility.
[16:01] Senku
    They're the OP field speed upgrade material!
[16:04] Chelsea
    You're so buddy-buddy.
[16:08] Chelsea
    We can stop by Latin America for
    enough rubber to make a few bikes.
[16:13] Chelsea
    I got this! I'll be your guide!
[16:15] Chrome
    An explorer!
[16:17] Chrome
    That makes you my rival.
[16:19] Kohaku
    You don't need to be so competitive.
[16:25] Xeno
    The problem is that you're in
    a global race against Stanley.
[16:34] Ryusui
    How long will it take to gather
    both rubber and fuel along the way?
[16:39] Senku
    A few days with turbo engaged.
[16:41] Suika
    Th-There's no way we're outrunning
    Stanley if we take so much time.
[16:48] Gen
    Our time limit is way too tight.
[16:53] Ukyo
    Senku...
[16:56] Ukyo
    That may be the least of our concerns.
[16:58] Ukyo
    We're already out of time.
[17:01] Ukyo
    This ship's already receiving radio pings.
[17:05] Ukyo
    It's the enemy carrier Perseus's radar.
[17:08] Ukyo
    They've nailed down our position!
[17:29] Ginro
    Isn't that the thing Ukyo was messing with?
[17:35] Leonard
    Right here.
[17:37] Leonard
    This is where Doctor Xeno and the enemy are.
[17:43] Xeno Soldier A
    What are you doing?
[17:44] Xeno Soldier A
    Get back to the brig!
[17:47] Ginro
    I-I was just on my way back from the bathroom!
[17:50] Xeno Soldier O
    You figured that out with this primitive radar?
[17:53] Leonard
    With the right tools, it isn't impossible
    to analyze the signal manually.
[17:57] Leonard
    Not just their position, either.
[17:59] Leonard
    From the radio cross-section, I can confirm
    that it's not anything else I'm looking at.
[18:04] Maya
    I don't know how any of that works,
[18:08] Maya
    but I guess that's what makes you
    an elite military radar operator.
[18:11] Leonard
    We're aboard a massive ship with
    plenty of petroleum fuel stores.
[18:16] Leonard
    At our speed, we'll catch up
    to them by nightfall.
[18:26] Ginro
    O-Oh, no...
[18:28] Ginro
    Senku...
[18:30] Ginro
    Guys...
[18:32] Ukyo
    I can tell from the enemy radar waves.
[18:35] Ukyo
    They're locked in on us.
[18:37] Ukyo
    They're catching up.
[18:38] Ukyo
    Slowly but surely.
[18:41] Taiju
    So this is a battle between
    Ukyo and the enemy Radar Man?!
[18:45] Ukyo
    Unfortunately, this isn't even a battle.
[18:48] Ukyo
    We're just rabbits being hunted down.
[18:50] Kohaku
    What is this "radar" thing, anyway?
[18:54] Kohaku
    They can see where we are?
[18:56] Senku
    It's a radio wave eye.
[18:58] Senku
    You know what radio waves are.
[18:59] Kohaku
    Yeah.
[19:01] Kohaku
    The invisible beams we shoot around when
    we're talking on our cell phones, right?
[19:05] Senku
    You fire them in all directions, and they'll
    bounce back whenever they hit something.
[19:13] Senku
    That's how radar works.
[19:22] Leonard
    The enemy has stopped.
[19:24] Maya
    Okay!
[19:25] Maya
    Let's check every harbor in the area.
[19:31] Xeno
    Don't bother trying to hide.
[19:33] Xeno
    There's no escaping the eye of science.
[19:37] Kohaku
    If we can't hide, we'll have
    to lose them with speed.
[19:41] Kohaku
    Can't we put up sails to go faster?
[19:43] Ryusui
    We have a few in the lab car,
    but nowhere near enough cloth.
[19:47] Ryusui
    Without Yuzuriha, we won't have the
    time to build them from scratch.
[19:51] Chrome
    I spent a whole year knitting huge kites
    like a degenerate so I could find help,
[19:59] Chrome
    and now we need to hide
    again? That's stupid funny!
[20:04] Ryusui
    Kites...
[20:05] Ryusui
    Of course!
[20:11] Leonard
    They're too fast.
[20:13] Leonard
    Impossible...
[20:15] Leonard
    How have they gained so much speed?
[20:17] Stanley
    They'll burn all their fuel going so fast.
[20:20] Stanley
    It'll only slow them down
    if they have to refuel.
[20:22] Leonard
    The enemy ship's reflective area is too wide.
[20:26] Leonard
    They may have raised sails.
[20:28] Maya
    You're telling me they made it a sailboat?
[20:30] Charlotte
    You can do that? Sails? That quickly?
[20:33] Leonard
    Correct.
[20:34] Leonard
    And they're sailing faster than
    any ordinary sailboat can.
[20:37] Leonard
    But how?!
[20:44] Ryusui
    Blazing ahead with a huge kite!
[20:46] Ryusui
    It's the F1 racer of the sea!
[20:54] Xeno
    A kite sail.
[20:56] Xeno
    Like the spinnakers used in yacht racing.
[21:01] Senku
    We'd need a stupid amount of power and skill
    to drag such a thing around at high speed.
[21:08] Senku
    With our professional sailor,
    Ryusui, and Taiju's power team,
[21:13] Senku
    we're ten billion percent in the clear.
[21:16] Xeno
    Double the size of the sail proportionately
    to the doubled size of the boat,
SIGN    Size x2
SIGN    2² =4x
[21:22] Xeno
    and the size of the 2D sail
    will increase by the square,
[21:26] Xeno
    while the volume and mass of the
    3D boat will increase by the cube.
SIGN    2³ =8x
[21:30] Xeno
    The speed gains offered by a kite
    are offered only to small ships.
SIGN    Sails become less effective
    on larger ships
[21:36] Xeno
    In a battle of science, the small are
    not necessarily at a disadvantage.
[21:42] Ryusui
    Now we can match their speed!
[21:44] Ryusui
    Am I right?
[21:46] Chelsea
    Cool!
[21:47] Chelsea
    We're racing around the world
    on all sorts of vehicles!
[21:50] Chelsea
    Heck yeah!
[21:52] Senku
    Yeah. Let's go.
[21:54] Senku
    We're getting the rubber trees
    for our OP racing material!
[22:03] Senku
    We're using our super-speed science
    to blast away from the enemy!
[22:08] Chelsea
    Go! Go! Go! Go!
[22:11] Senku
