[00:07] (Flashback) Kohaku
    If Why-Man was truly dead-set on ending
    us and had deployed several Medusas...
[00:27] (Flashback) Suika
    I found one! A petrification device!
[00:30] (Flashback) Chrome
    Seriously? Already?
[00:32] (Flashback) Chrome
    Crap, we're too lucky!
[00:35] (Flashback) Kohaku
    Luck...
[00:37] (Flashback) Kohaku
    It seems it may have nothing to do with luck.
[00:48] (Flashback) Kohaku
    What sickening yet beautiful...
[00:52] (Flashback) Kohaku
    malice.
[02:42] Senku
    One meter, three seconds.
[03:02] Taiju
    Sorry.
[03:03] Taiju
    If I do get petrified, spare me
    some of our precious revival fluid.
[03:13] Taiju
    One meter! One second!
[03:18] Taiju
    One meter! One second!
[03:20] Taiju
    One meter! One second!
[03:22] Taiju
    One meter! One second!
[03:24] Kohaku
    That looks fun.
[03:26] Kohaku
    We should help!
[03:28] Suika
    One meter! One second!
[03:31] Senku
    I guess we should have expected this.
[03:34] Senku
    All these petrification
    devices are out of battery.
[03:38] Ryusui
    Of course they are.
    It may have been a while since they fired,
[03:42] Ryusui
    but these things hardly have the
    capacity to engulf the treasure island.
[03:46] Ryusui
    There's no way they'd last after
    they covered the whole planet.
[03:51] Xeno
    What a sight indeed.
[03:55] Xeno
    Each one of these weapons
    of new science shone.
[04:01] Xeno
    That day, thousands of years ago,
    they turned Earth into a stone world.
[04:09] Xeno
    So that's what happened.
[04:11] Kohaku
    They were absolutely intent on
    petrifying all of humankind.
[04:15] Kohaku
    Such sickening malice, and in such numbers.
[04:19] Senku
    We never stood a chance to begin with.
[04:27] Gen
    Xeno-chan.
[04:29] Gen
    Let's see your right hand.
[04:31] Gen
    I know you did a swipesies in your pocket.
[04:35] Gen
    A Medusa.
[04:37] Gen
    Look at you, sounding all
    profound as you stole one.
[04:43] Gen
    Would you really try to
    pull that on a mentalist?
[04:45] Xeno
    I don't know what you're talking about.
[04:48] Chrome
    You asshole!
[04:50] Senku
    Let him have it.
[04:52] Senku
    It's out of battery, anyway.
[04:54] Senku
    He can't do anything with
    it while we're watching.
[04:57] Senku
    We're better off keeping him
    engaged and inspecting it
[05:00] Senku
    so we can pick his glorious brain.
[05:03] Senku
    This Medusa is the only way
    we're ever going to survive
[05:07] Senku
    against an elite force like Stanley's.
[05:12] Suika
    But what's the point of all this
    if we can't use any of them?
[05:18] Tsukasa
    They aren't necessarily worthless.
[05:20] Tsukasa
    With so many of them in our possession,
    we can put them to good use.
[05:24] Tsukasa
    Isn't that right, Senku?
[05:27] Senku
    Yeah.
[05:35] Ryusui
    Of course!
[05:37] Ryusui
    Only Joel could take them apart cleanly,
    but blasting them apart is easy.
[05:44] Ryusui
    We already knew that from
    Matsukaze's testimony.
[05:47] Ryusui
    We could never risk it if we
    only had one to play with.
[05:53] Ryusui
    But right now, we can take
    them apart as much as we want.
[05:56] Ryusui
    Am I right?
[05:59] Senku
    It's time for a science kid's favorite
    activity: a nice, chill teardown!
[06:12] Ginro
    Where is Stanley taking us
    on this ship, Matsukaze?!
[06:16] Matsukaze
    I apologize.
[06:18] Matsukaze
    I don't know, either.
[06:20] Matsukaze
    Senku and the others must
    have escaped safely by now.
[06:25] Maya
    So I bet the youth science team is
    probably taking it easy right about now.
[06:32] Stanley
    I'm not so sure.
[06:34] Stanley
    Those kids are clever.
[06:36] Leonard
    That won't be a problem.
[06:38] Leonard
    Judging from the bike tracks, they're most
    certainly headed down the Amazon River.
[06:45] Leonard
    The kids need to build a new ship.
[06:49] Leonard
    Given the enormous amount
    of time they'll lose,
[06:51] Leonard
    we'll eventually catch up to them no
    matter how much of a detour we make.
[06:55] Charlotte
    If they build a new ship,
    won't we have trouble recognizing it?
[06:59] Leonard
    Its appearance is irrelevant.
[07:01] Leonard
    No anomaly can escape radio waves.
[07:05] Leonard
    There's absolutely no escape from
    the eye of science—the radar.
[07:22] Ryusui
    I'd love for us to kick back and
    dissect the devices all day,
[07:25] Ryusui
    but we're leaving once
    we've built our ship.
[07:28] Senku
    Yeah, we'll just grab as
    many Medusas as we can.
[07:33] Gen
    True...
[07:34] Gen
    We're headed out to sea soon.
[07:37] Gen
    We're gonna need more than a raft, huh?
[07:39] Gen
    Though, at the same time...
[07:42] Gen
    What's up with the shape of this ship?!
[07:45] Kaseki
    I was thinking that, too.
[07:47] Chrome
    Why?
[07:48] Chrome
    It's all pointy. It's sick.
[07:51] Kohaku
    You guys really do like pointy things.
[07:54] Suika
    I think round things are cuter.
[07:57] Ukyo
    They're all diagonal planes
    facing as upward as possible.
[08:03] Ukyo
    Is this what I think it is?
[08:04] Senku
    Yeah.
[08:05] Senku
    A former sonar operator
    would know, wouldn't you?
[08:08] Senku
    If we're going to evade Stanley's
    radar when they arrive...
[08:15] Senku
    We're going to have to build a stealth ship.
[08:17] Kohaku
    A shelf chip? What?
[08:19] Francois
    Stealth, as in secretive.
[08:21] Francois
    It's a ship that's transparent
    to the eyes of radar.
[08:25] Gen
    Honestly, though, aren't we kind of far
    beyond science crafts at this point?
[08:30] Ukyo
    It's turning into legit modern warfare.
[08:36] Chelsea
    Ryusui's so hyped up.
[08:38] Chelsea
    Haha.
[08:39] Ryusui
    Of course!
[08:41] Ryusui
    As greedy as I am, I've never
    had a stealth ship before!
[08:44] Gen
    Well, yeah, you have no reason to
    avoid radar if you're a civilian.
[08:49] Chrome
    Do you become invisible to
    radar when your ship's pointy?
[08:52] Senku
    Yeah.
[08:53] Senku
    That's basically right.
[08:55] Senku
    Remember what I said?
[08:57] Senku
    Radar works by watching the
    radio waves that bounce back.
SIGN    Normal Ship
[09:00] Senku
    A normal ship...
[09:02] Kaseki
    Whoo! I see all!
[09:05] Senku
    But when it's all slanted and pointy...
SIGN    All Slanted and Pointy
[09:08] Kaseki
    I can't see anything!
[09:10] Senku
    We're also using RF absorbing materials.
[09:12] Senku
    Cover the whole thing with
    carbon-particle-filled rubber!
[09:17] Kaseki
    Rubber's useful for everything, isn't it?
[09:21] Ukyo
    There are all sorts of designs
    for avoiding radio waves,
[09:25] Ukyo
    but it's a military secret,
    so I don't know much about it myself.
[09:29] Ukyo
    Guess we'll have to do some trial and error.
[09:33] Senku
    I bet NASA-sensei here would know.
[09:38] Xeno
    I'd spare no effort in cooperating with
    any science that ensures my own safety.
[09:43] Xeno
    But you can't expect me to help
    you escape Stanley's pursuit.
[09:47] Charlotte
    Xeno's nasty!

    Stealth ship
    acquired!!
[10:04] Suika
    The pointy ship's kinda cool, too, actually!
[10:08] Chrome
    Told ya.
[10:09] Senku
    It's form over function, idiot.
[10:12] Senku
    We're testing its stealth properties.
[10:25] Luna
    Is it showing on the radar?
[10:28] Luna
    Is it transparent?
[10:30] Ukyo
    Well...
[10:31] Suika
    Which is it?
[10:33] Ukyo
    Er... well, a tiny bit stealthy?
[10:37] Ukyo
    A little bit blurry for its size, maybe?
[10:41] All
    A tiny bit?!
[10:43] Suika
    That's not going to hide us at all!
[10:45] Senku
    You didn't expect to nail secret
    military tech on the first try, did you?
[10:48] Senku
    We're about to optimize
    the hell out of it now.
[10:53] Chrome
    A bit blurry for its size?
[10:56] Chrome
    So it's easier to see if it's big
    or if there's a lot of stuff?
[11:00] Ryusui
    Of course.
[11:01] Ryusui
    It's the same as with eyesight.
[11:03] Chrome
    So then, that day, when a stupid
    number of these things rained down,
[11:09] Chrome
    why did the 21st century peeps
    not notice until right before?
[11:15] Xeno
    It isn't as though we're aware of
    every asteroid that approaches Earth.
[11:21] Xeno
    But you're right, it was a lot.
[11:24] Xeno
    I heard nothing about it, either from
    NASA's observatories or elsewhere.
[11:29] Ukyo
    This bizarre shape...
[11:38] Ukyo
    It isn't showing!
[11:40] Ukyo
    No radar signal!
[11:43] Kohaku
    Is it to avoid being discovered by humans?
[11:46] Kohaku
    How uncompromising.
[11:48] Kohaku
    Absolutely a ball of malice.
[11:51] Xeno
    If it can't be seen on radar...
[11:53] Senku
    Yeah. It's absorbing the
    radio waves somewhere.
[11:57] Senku
    It must be those winding
    mystery circuits inside.
[12:00] Chrome
    In that case, why don't we just plaster
    the whole freaking ship with them?
[12:08] Senku
    We've got a radar-dodging
    future science stealth ship!

    Futuristic
    stealth ship
    acquired!!
[12:17] Senku
    This is our first post-21st
    century new world craft.
[12:24] Ryusui
    And so we step into future science!
[12:31] Xeno
    Science is...
[12:35] Xeno
    elegant indeed.
[12:49] Ukyo
    I can't believe we're using
    the Medusas to cover the ship.
[12:54] Kohaku
    Senku's nothing if not efficient.
    I'm sure he's mighty pleased.
[12:58] Gen
    Hell yeah!
[12:59] Gen
    Science is all about efficiency.
[13:02] Gen
    We gotta make use of anything we can.
[13:05] Gen
    Not that we have any idea how it works!
[13:07] Senku
    Yeah, we're about to find out.
[13:13] Senku
    Lucky for us, we have a crap ton of samples.
[13:18] Ryusui
    Yes! If we can analyze these
    Medusas and reboot them...
[13:26] Ryusui
    We can go head-to-head against Stanley.
[13:31] Ryusui
    Victory is literally within our grasp!
[13:34] Ryusui
    Am I right?
[13:36] Senku
    That's the plan...
[13:39] Senku
    but we're analyzing a dangerous weapon
    that we're going to use to freeze Stanley.
[13:43] Senku
    Are you sure you want to be a
    part of this, great Doctor Xeno?
[13:47] Xeno
    To fall behind in fundamental scientific
    prowess for political reasons
[13:51] Xeno
    seems even more of a danger to me.
[13:56] Xeno
    Of course, if I make a discovery
    that you don't seem to have,
[14:02] Xeno
    I won't bother to share it with you.
[14:04] Senku
    Suit yourself.
[14:06] Senku
    I'm happy to share everything.
[14:08] Senku
    That'll get things moving faster.
[14:17] Senku
    Every Medusa has a charred diamond.
[14:21] Senku
    Just as Joel said in his report.
[14:23] Xeno
    Each part is tiny after we destroyed it,
[14:27] Xeno
    but knowledge is critical.
[14:29] Xeno
    Without watchmaker Joel's
    elegant disassembly and analysis,
[14:34] Xeno
    we might not have noticed it.
[14:36] Xeno
    Knowledge is indeed energy.
[14:40] Senku
    Maybe it looks charred
[14:42] Senku
    because the crystalline structure's been
    altered, changing its refractivity.
[14:46] Xeno
    Any pattern to the charring?
[14:48] Senku
    Not a smidge.
[14:54] Senku
    We took apart around a thousand,
    but every diamond is stupidly different.
[14:59] Xeno
    So it isn't by design.
[15:03] Xeno
    They change in a disorderly way.
[15:05] Xeno
    In order words, simple decay.
[15:11] Chrome
    Crap, look at this.
[15:13] Chrome
    There's a diamond that isn't blackened at all!
[15:16] Xeno
    This...
[15:18] Chrome
    If the diamonds are like batteries,
    maybe this one's brand new?
[15:23] Senku
    All right, let's keep searching.
[15:25] Senku
    Look for a Medusa with
    a pretty diamond inside!
[15:36] Kohaku
    One meter. Three seconds.
[15:44] Ukyo
    Maybe it isn't exactly new.
[15:47] Ukyo
    It could have been a dud to begin with.
[15:52] Xeno
    It's cracked.
[15:53] Xeno
    Likely a cleavage.
[15:55] Xeno
    It's broken along a plane
    of weak atomic bonds.
[16:00] Kohaku
    You're right.
[16:02] Kohaku
    All of the untarnished
    diamonds have a flaw in them.
[16:06] Senku
    Are you sure you want to share
    your observations with us?
[16:10] Xeno
    I don't mind.
[16:11] Xeno
    There's no way you wouldn't
    have noticed, Senku.
[16:17] Ryusui
    All of the other clean diamonds are
    either chipped or slightly small.
[16:22] Ryusui
    In other words, these are brand-new Medusas
[16:24] Ryusui
    that ended up being duds
    because of slight defects.
[16:26] Kohaku
    Meanwhile, all of the used,
    blackened diamonds are flawless.
[16:31] Suika
    They're all perfectly identical in shape, too.
[16:34] Chrome
    Which means...
[16:36] Senku
    This is just a hypothesis, but...
[16:39] Senku
    Plug in a perfect, brand-new diamond
    that's ten billion percent undamaged...
[16:46] Senku
    and the Medusa might boot right back up.
[16:51] Senku
    And so...
SIGN    Alcohol Tungsten / Electricity / Filament
[16:52] Senku
    We're making diamonds!
SIGN    Diamond / Technician
SIGN    Infinite petrification devices!!
[16:58] All
    What?!
[17:00] Nikki
    That's as absurd as ever.
[17:03] Yo
    How the heck are we going to make diamonds?
[17:05] Yo
    You'd be filthy rich in the old
    world if you could do that!
[17:10] Yo
    Wait...
[17:11] Yo
    Maybe Senku could make it happen, though.
[17:13] Yo
    Crap!
[17:15] Yo
    I shoulda made friends with
    Senku in the old world.
[17:19] Senku
    Professional technician Joel will polish them
    and figure out how to get them working.
[17:24] Senku
    You all are making the diamonds.
[17:27] Minami
    How do you expect us to do that?
[17:28] Minami
    We don't have any scientists here.
[17:31] Kinro
    We have neither you nor
    Doctor Xeno here, Senku.
[17:34] Senku
    No.
[17:36] Senku
    Specialists don't have a monopoly on science.
[17:39] Senku
    Anyone can do it.
[17:41] Senku
    Whether you're a saint or a murderer.
[17:44] Senku
    No matter who does it,
    you'll get the same result.
[17:50] Senku
    That's science.
[17:54] Senku
    What you'll need for making diamonds...
[17:57] Senku
    is alcohol. That's it.
[17:59] Yo
    For real?!
[18:00] Senku
    You can use whatever booze you've
    got on hand, if you have to.
[18:03] Senku
    Although it'll take some work.
[18:07] Nikki
    Found some in Doctor Xeno's room.
[18:10] Nikki
    We've got alcohol!
[18:12] Senku
    Heat the hell out of it and that's it.
[18:15] Yo
    Is that seriously it?!
[18:17] Yuzuriha
    We need to make a tungsten filament
    to heat the hell out of it.
[18:21] Magma
    Tung...?
[18:22] Magma
    That sounds familiar.
[18:24] Magma
    Wait! That's the rock I dug up!
[18:27] Kinro
    Right. It's the ultimate heat-resistant
    metal we used to make light bulbs.
[18:32] Yuzuriha
    If we coil tungsten wire,
    we'll have heat-resistant filament.
[18:42] Yuzuriha
    Put the alcohol in hot water
    to turn it into vapor...
[18:46] Nikki
    And superheat it with that
    filament from earlier.
[18:51] Magma
    All we gotta do is hook it up to
    electricity and heat it? Piece of cake.
[18:59] Minami
    What was that explosion?!
[19:04] Ginro
    I don't understand... Why?
[19:05] Yo
    Yo, just have that enemy
    mechanic dude Brody do it.
[19:11] Nikki
    That won't work.
[19:13] Nikki
    There's something behind
    Senku's diamond making.
[19:17] Nikki
    We can't give the production
    line to the enemy.
[19:21] Nikki
    Remember what Senku said.
    Science doesn't belong to geniuses.
[19:26] Nikki
    We nobodies have to be the ones
    to make the diamonds.
[19:34] Yuzuriha
    Maybe it exploded because
    there was air inside.
[19:47] Yo
    Yo, it's coming out.
[19:49] Nikki
    Not yet.
[19:50] Nikki
    Not until the alcohol vapor
    pushes out all the air.
[19:56] Nikki
    There.
[19:57] Nikki
    That should leave no more air inside.
[20:00] Magma
    All right, here we go.
[20:13] Homura
    It's working.
[20:14] Yo
    For real?!
[20:16] Homura
    It's making charcoal.
[20:18] Kirisame
    Perhaps it isn't hot enough.
[20:20] Kinro
    Let's add more power.
[20:31] Kinro
    Will this do it?
[20:33] Magma
    Here we go!
[20:38] Yo
    Now we aren't getting any power.
[20:41] Minami
    Why?!
[20:43] Minami
    It looks perfect!
[20:43] Yuzuriha
    Is it broken?
[20:45] Minami
    I don't know! I don't get it anymore!
[20:46] Yuzuriha
    The connection thingies are stuck together.
[20:50] MechaSenku
    You might think that's stupid,
[20:53] MechaSenku
    but "the connection thingies getting
    stuck together" happens all the time.
[20:59] Yo
    Yo, here it comes.
[21:01] Yuzuriha
    Nothing's getting stuck together this time.
[21:03] Kinro
    Everything's good here, as well.
[21:05] Nikki
    Hook it up.
[21:39] Yuzuriha
    They're tiny, but could
    these sparkling specks be...
[21:47] Joel
    Yeah.
[21:48] Joel
    I give you my word as a pro.
[21:54] Joel
    This is definitely a diamond!
