[00:02] Nikki
    We finally have it!
[00:04] Nikki
    Diamond!
[00:07] Yo
    We actually made it from scratch!
[00:11] Yo
    Now we're filthy rich!
[00:14] Inami
    We're finally done! For now.
[00:17] Yuzuriha
    They're as tiny as grains of sand, though.
[00:20] Senku
    As tiny as they are,
    they're ten billion percent diamonds.
[00:27] Senku
    You can finally see it happening now.
[00:30] Senku
    The resurrection of the happy Medusas.
[02:13] Chrome
    Now that we have diamonds, do we just
    need to shove them inside these things?
[02:19] Senku
    Not quite yet.
[02:22] Nikki
    We don't have nearly enough to get
    to the size of a Medusa battery.
[02:26] Nikki
    How do we make them bigger?
[02:28] Senku
    No, there's no way we're making
    big ones synthetically.
[02:32] Senku
    Which is why...
[02:34] Nikki
    Which is why...?
[02:36] Senku
    We're going to dig for natural diamonds!
[02:41] Inami
    So what was the point of making
    all those synthetic diamonds?!
[02:44] Kinro
    What was all that work for?
[02:46] Magma
    I'll kill you!
[02:47] Senku
    No, no, you idiots.
[02:49] Senku
    We need both.
[02:51] Senku
    Diamonds are just carbon.
[02:52] Senku
    Coal.
[02:54] Senku
    They're just like any other
    rock you'll find lying around.
[02:56] Senku
    It's when humans get involved that these
    ordinary rocks turn into treasures.
[03:05] Chelsea
    Here! Diamonds!
[03:07] Chelsea
    Send an expedition team out from Xeno's
    fortress, and they'll get there in a week!
[03:12] Chelsea
    It's called Lassen Peak.
[03:13] Chelsea
    It's a lava dome, and it's got shield volcanoes
    and cinder cones and stratovolcanoes,
[03:17] Chelsea
    and like, what is this,
    a pizza with the works? LMAO!
[03:19] Chelsea
    Who wouldn't explore there?
[03:20] Chelsea
    The last time it erupted was in the
    early 1900s, and it spewed kimberlite.
[03:26] Chelsea
    I saw it! Kimberlite ore!
[03:28] Chelsea
    It might not be much, but it's been,
    what, a few thousand years? We're good!
[03:31] Gen
    S-Sorry, what?
[03:33] Senku
    She's saying she knows where we
    can find some natural diamonds.
[03:43] Yo
    We just made some diamonds,
    and now we're digging for diamonds?
[03:50] Yo
    Actual diamonds!
[03:53] Senku
    Time for a fun quiz:
[03:55] Senku
    between synthetic and natural diamond,
    which do you think is stronger?
[04:00] Taiju
    I know! It's the natural diamonds!
[04:03] Chrome
    My money's on the proper crap
    made with science!
[04:06] Xeno
    Ah, here we go.
[04:08] Xeno
    The peculiar belief that natural
    is always better than artificial.
[04:13] Xeno
    Ironic indeed.
[04:14] Xeno
    To think that those who haven't been
    inundated by 21st century information
[04:18] Xeno
    would be more aware...
[04:20] Senku
    Yup. The correct answer
    is synthetic diamonds.
[04:24] Senku
    Chrome gets ten billion points.
[04:28] Senku
    Diamond is the hardest stuff in the world.
[04:31] Senku
    You can only cut them with other diamonds.
[04:33] Senku
    The synthetic stuff is even
    harder than the natural stuff.
[04:38] Senku
    We're going to use a ton of the synthetic
    diamond grains to make sandpaper.
[04:43] Ryusui
    Of course!
[04:44] Ryusui
    We're using small synthetic diamonds
    to grind down big natural diamonds
[04:49] Ryusui
    and turn them into batteries
    that'll fit snugly in the Medusas.
[04:54] Joel
    So you just want me to make them the
    exact shape and size of this sample.
[04:59] Joel
    Leave it to a pro.
[05:00] Joel
    I'll give them the most perfect
    polish in the universe.
[05:04] Nikki
    We're counting on you!
[05:05] Nikki
    All we can do here is cheer.
[05:08] Inami
    He's never going to get used to us, is he?
[05:12] Senku
    Now...
[05:13] Senku
    This will be the last
    communication you'll hear
[05:16] Senku
    from the expedition team.
[05:19] Taiju
    But why?!
[05:21] Ukyo
    If Stanley has gone around
    South America to chase us down...
[05:25] Ryusui
    He's a clever, persistent man.
[05:28] Ryusui
    That's almost certainly the case.
[05:30] Ryusui
    As its captain, I know exactly
    where the Perseus is.
[05:35] Ryusui
    They're almost here.
[05:37] Ukyo
    Sending out radio signals nearby
    would give our position away.
[05:40] Ukyo
    We'd have built a stealth ship for nothing.
[05:44] Senku
    The next time we connect again...
[05:48] Senku
    is when everything is over and done with.
[05:52] Senku
    Oh, Joel, we'll still hear your comms.
[05:57] Senku
    Be sure to broadcast like mad when you
    devise a way to make that diamond battery.
[06:02] Gen
    He's just barely concealing our actual plan.
[06:06] Gen
    That we've come up with a way to make use of
[06:08] Gen
    all these Medusas in
    our fight against Stanley.
[06:23] Kaseki
    Let's say Joel manages to
    make the diamond batteries
[06:26] Kaseki
    and teaches us how to do it.
[06:28] Kaseki
    How are we supposed to make them ourselves?
[06:31] Chrome
    We don't even have the diamonds.
[06:34] Chrome
    By the way, where is this stealth
    ship even headed right now?
[06:37] Chelsea
    I know! It's Araxá!
[06:39] All
    Araxá?
[06:42] Senku
    Bingo.
[06:43] Senku
    Have a gazillion bajillion points.
[06:46] Senku
    Araxá. A city in Brazil born of the big-ass
    Amazon and ridiculously long rivers.
[06:52] Senku
    The site of miraculous mineral veins.
[06:54] Senku
    Rare metals of all sorts drifted
    to gather at this stone sanctuary.
[07:02] Xeno
    There are metals you
    need for rocket building
[07:04] Xeno
    that you can get here and nowhere else.
[07:07] Senku
    There's tons of diamonds and other gems, too.
[07:10] Senku
    That's where we're building
    our super-alloy city!
[07:14] Kohaku
    Of course.
[07:15] Kohaku
    We've been meaning to
    build a city there anyway,
[07:18] Kohaku
    and it also happens to have diamonds,
[07:19] Kohaku
    which we need to make the Medusa batteries.
[07:21] Kohaku
    We're killing two birds with one stone.
[07:26] Gen
    You knew this, didn't you?
[07:28] Gen
    That this would be our final
    destination in South America.
[07:32] Xeno
    It's inconceivable that Senku
    would miss any ingredients.
[07:36] Xeno
    We're both rocket specialists.
[07:44] Charlotte
    Do you hear some weird noise
    coming from their transmissions?
[07:48] Leonard
    It's definitely artificial.
[07:51] Leonard
    The peaks are intentional and periodic.
[07:55] Stanley
    It's riding on the youth
    science team's radio signals.
[07:59] Stanley
    Xeno's sending us a message.
[08:01] Stanley
    He's sending out some kind of alert.
[08:05] Leonard
    But an alert for what?
[08:08] Leonard
    As long as we have our radar,
    we'll have no trouble capturing them.
[08:12] Leonard
    Our victory is at hand.
[08:15] Stanley
    Radio jamming, stealth ship,
    anti-radar missiles...
[08:21] Charlotte
    No way!
[08:23] Stanley
    Never say never.
[08:25] Stanley
    I wouldn't put it past them.
[08:28] Stanley
    Xeno's sending out an alert.
[08:30] Stanley
    He wouldn't do it for no reason.
[08:32] Stanley
    The message he blinked out at me...
[08:36] Xeno
    We're going to Araxá!
[08:39] Stanley
    Turn us around!
[08:41] Stanley
    Stop the chase! We're going ahead of them.
[08:43] Stanley
    To their final destination!
[08:49] Suika
    Huh? We're already here?
[08:53] Senku
    Nope.
[08:54] Ryusui
    We're taking an overland mega
    shortcut to the stone sanctuary!

    Elevator
    acquired!!
[08:59] Chelsea
    Cool!
[09:00] Gen
    Not cool!
[09:02] Gen
    What kind of land route is this?!
[09:03] Gen
    This is a mountain! A cliff!
[09:06] Senku
    We just need to get past this terrain.
[09:08] Senku
    We can whip out our bikes once we're through.
[09:10] Max
    You call it an elevator...
[09:13] Max
    but it's just a vertical ropeway!
[09:27] Joel
    Once I come up with a way
    to make diamond batteries,
[09:31] Joel
    the petrification beam is
    forever in humanity's grasp.
[09:38] Senku
    We're getting some diamonds
    and making some batteries.
[09:41] Senku
    And then we're equipping ourselves with
    the anti-Stanley Medusa machine gun!
[09:49] Senku
    The final battle is deep in the Amazon...
[09:52] Senku
    The stone sanctuary!
[10:05] Ryusui
    Right in front of us are
[10:07] Ryusui
    the rare ores that we're going
    to need for rocket building, too.
[10:12] Chrome
    How is there an insane pile
    of gems just sitting there
[10:15] Chrome
    like it's Earth's treasure chest?
[10:18] Chelsea
    Lemme show you.
[10:25] Suika
    The sand separated itself out!
[10:29] Chelsea
    It's called gravity concentration.
[10:31] Chelsea
    Whack, right?
SIGN    Gravity Concentration
[10:32] Chelsea
    Like, the heavy rocks gather at the bottom.
[10:35] Chrome
    So it's like how you collect gold!
[10:38] Senku
    Do that on a planetary scale
    for tens of thousands of years,
[10:43] Senku
    and you get this place:
    the miraculous ore vein that is Araxá.
[10:47] Suika
    The whole planet,
    tens of thousands of years...
[10:49] Suika
    It's too big to wrap my head around.
[10:52] Gen
    Yeah, the scale... I know.
[10:55] Gen
    You know what they say.
[10:56] Gen
    From Earth's perspective,
    humans are just parasites.
[11:02] Kohaku
    I don't know the first thing
    about science, but if you ask me,
[11:06] Kohaku
    humanity's been building up its
    wisdom for millions of years,
[11:09] Kohaku
    making use of all that Earth offers.
[11:13] Kohaku
    That seems far more grand to me.
[11:18] Taiju
    Well said, Kohaku!
[11:21] Taiju
    You're right! Let's make use
    of all of Earth's rocks!
[11:25] Taiju
    Let's get to building our super-alloy city!
[11:48] Gen
    Why does it need such a sturdy-as-heck tower?
[11:54] Senku
    For our final battle against Stanley.
[11:57] Gen; Suika; Luna
    What?!
[11:58] Suika
    He's going to chase us here?!
[12:01] Luna
    Th-Th-Th-They know we're here?
[12:02] Luna
    I mean, not that I'm scared or anything.
[12:07] Senku
    Xeno-sensei seems to have been doing
    some naughty things on the radio.
[12:12] Senku
    His nails were a tiny bit magnetized.
[12:15] Xeno
    You were intent on
    luring Stanley here anyway.
[12:19] Xeno
    Either way, the result is the same.
[12:21] Senku
    The same, my ass.
[12:23] Senku
    We lost a shit ton of time.
[12:25] Ryusui
    Right! It's a ship that we want.
[12:29] Kohaku
    No, I have no idea why.
[12:31] Kohaku
    What are you talking about?
[12:33] Ryusui
    In order for us to voyage
    across the great Atlantic,
[12:38] Ryusui
    we're going to need a proper ship.
[12:40] Senku
    The Perseus is our only option.
[12:45] Senku
    We're taking Stanley down
    and reclaiming the Perseus.
[12:50] Senku
    Stanley's taking us down and
    reclaiming their leader, Xeno.
[12:56] Senku
    We're gonna have to settle it here.
[12:59] Senku
    Our goal in this race is the same.
[13:09] Hyoga
    How do you see our battle against
    Stanley-kun playing out, Tsukasa-kun?
[13:14] Tsukasa
    Hyoga, your wound from when you were
    shot by Stanley hasn't fully healed.
[13:19] Tsukasa
    And neither has mine.
[13:22] Tsukasa
    Our only other attackers are Kohaku and Ukyo.
[13:25] Tsukasa
    And maybe Max.
[13:28] Tsukasa
    We would stand absolutely no chance
    against a fully equipped US commando.
[13:36] Kohaku
    It seems this is our only shot at victory.
[13:44] Kohaku
    Our Medusa machine gun.
[13:49] Suika
    It isn't getting far at all.
[13:51] Gen
    Are we really going to beat
    Stanley-chan's army with this?
[13:55] Hyoga
    We'll certainly be sniped from far beyond
    our range, and that'll be the end.
[14:00] Chrome
    In that case...
[14:05] Chrome
    Fifty meters, one second!
[14:09] Chrome
    What do you think of this trap?
[14:11] Chrome
    We can set them up everywhere!
[14:16] Chrome
    Fifty meters, one second!
[14:19] Kohaku
    Looks like it'll hit the wrong targets.
[14:21] Kohaku
    We'll have to prepare quite a few.
[14:23] Hyoga
    Our outcome will hinge drastically
    on the size of our arsenal.
[14:27] Hyoga
    How many petrification devices,
[14:30] Hyoga
    rebooted with new diamonds,
    will we be able to prepare?
[14:52] Senku
    We'll polish the diamonds using a water wheel.
[14:55] Ukyo
    Try to keep the heat down.
[14:57] Ukyo
    We don't want to stand out.
[14:59] Chrome
    That calls for Kaseki beast mode.
SIGN    Swole
[15:04] Kaseki
    About that... There's a bigger problem.
[15:07] Kaseki
    Our precious Medusas are a little...
[15:18] Kaseki
    They're way too intricate on the inside!
[15:21] Kohaku
    Is it even possible to open these
    things without breaking them?
[15:24] Chrome
    That's not all!
[15:26] Chrome
    We're going to be replacing the
    insanely tiny diamonds with new ones!
[15:29] Ukyo
    Even our super watchmaker
    Joel is having a rough time.
[15:34] Kaseki
    There's no way we're making
    a mass-produced machine gun.
[15:39] Kaseki
    I don't know if we can get one or two
    done before the enemy gets to us.
[15:44] Suika
    In that case...
[15:45] Ukyo
    Fifty meters, three seconds!
[15:48] Ukyo
    One, two, three...
[15:51] Suika
    And then it'll go bzzzt.
[15:54] Senku
    Only if it has brand-new batteries.
[15:57] Taiju
    I get it!
[15:58] Taiju
    With Ukyo's bow and arrow, we can
    take out a whole bunch all at once.
[16:02] Ukyo
    If we have some idea of where Stanley is.
[16:05] Ukyo
    Though, by the time they get close enough
    for us to know, I'll have been shot.
[16:11] Taiju
    I think that gives me an idea.
[16:14] Taiju
    If we only have one petrification device...
[16:17] Taiju
    I just need to run at them with
    the device and petrify everyone!
[16:24] Taiju
    One hundred meters! One second!
[16:28] Gen
    So you're going to charge
    at them and self-destruct?!
[16:31] Taiju
    You just need to use some
    revival fluid on me later!
[16:35] Senku
    You'll ten billion percent get shot
    before you get close, dumbass.
[16:38] Taiju
    I'll just tough it out!
[16:40] Tsukasa
    You'll just get shot in the head.
[16:44] Chrome
    Self-destruct...
[16:48] Chrome
    I think you gave me an idea.
[16:51] Chrome
    For a surefire plan.
[16:55] Chrome
    We all self-destruct together.
[16:58] Chrome
    The moment Stanley gets here...
[17:03] Chrome
    Three thousand meters, one second!
[17:07] Chrome
    One of us stays super far away.
[17:14] Chrome
    Then they just need to revive
    everyone on our side.
[17:19] Ukyo
    You're right, that's insane!
[17:21] Kohaku
    But it's certain victory!
[17:25] Ryusui
    There's just one problem.
[17:28] Ryusui
    If our key person, who has the
    petrification device, is shot first,
[17:31] Ryusui
    not only does the whole plan fall apart,
[17:34] Ryusui
    but in the worst case,
    Stanley will take the device.
[17:37] Senku
    Yeah, that won't be a problem.
[17:39] Senku
    We'll cover that with science.
[17:44] Senku
    In the watchtower goes the
    Medusa and the speaker.
[17:50] Senku
    We have mics all over the
    place inside our fortress.
[17:55] Senku
    The moment we're attacked, one of us just
    needs to shout into one of the mics.
[18:00] Chrome
    Three thousand meters, one second!
[18:06] Kohaku
    Even the wretched calamity
    that wiped out humanity
[18:09] Kohaku
    is now about to be turned
    into our guardian angel.

    Fort Medusa

[18:15] Senku
    Yeah.
[18:16] Senku
    Now we just need to reboot the
    petrification device, and we win.
[18:24] Chrome
    How did you open the Medusa so cleanly?!
[18:27] Kaseki
    With my extreme patient grit.
[18:30] Kaseki
    I botched a whole bunch, though.
[18:33] Gen
    So then, will it work a bit if we take the
    diamond out and replace it like Joel did?
[18:39] Kaseki
    I tried it, but nope.
[18:41] Senku
    Go figure. These things have
    been around for millennia.
[18:45] Ukyo
    Of course... The one that Joel has is new.
[18:50] Kaseki
    Which means we're just going
    to have to bust our asses
[18:55] Kaseki
    to try and get these perfectly identical,
    brand-new diamond batteries in.
[19:05] Yo
    One meter, one second!
[19:09] Yo
    It's not doing anything. You sure about this?
[19:11] Inami
    Don't interrupt!
[19:12] Inami
    Right?
[19:15] Joel
    They should be perfect in shape and size.
[19:17] Joel
    If my craftsmanship won't
    cut it, no one's will.
[19:22] Joel; Kaseki
    Maybe it can't be a normal diamond?
[19:25] Joel; Kaseki
    How is it different?
[19:29] Kaseki
    Joel hasn't said anything so far.
[19:31] Kaseki
    All this polishing is feeling pretty pointless.
[19:35] Kaseki
    I'm gonna keep going, though,
    because I'm made of grit.
[19:41] Senku
    It isn't pointless at all.
[19:45] Senku
    Neither our specialist, Joel, nor you
    with all your samples can make it.
[19:51] Senku
    Which means we got something wrong.
[19:54] Senku
    That information is worth its weight in gold.
[19:58] Kaseki
    You're giving a proper pep talk for once, Senku.
[20:02] Kohaku
    A pep talk?
[20:04] Gen
    No such thing would come out of Senku's
    mouth after ten billion years.
[20:08] Luna
    Who exactly do people see him as?
[20:10] Luna
    Although I guess it's true.
[20:14] Ryusui
    He's merely stating the truth.
[20:16] Ryusui
    It's the essence of trial and error.
[20:19] Ryusui
    The accumulation of errors isn't
    regression, it's progress.
[20:22] Chelsea
    I know, right?
[20:23] Kaseki
    Well, you can't have even the slightest
    error in the diamond, right?
[20:30] Chrome
    No, I think it's good.
[20:31] Chrome
    The diamond batteries you're
    making are tough as shit.
[20:36] Chrome
    If anything, they're tougher than
    the ones that were in the Medusa.
[20:40] Kaseki
    Right?
[20:41] Kaseki
    I'm hella awesome!
[20:42] Kaseki
    I cut it so it won't crack at all.
[20:48] Kaseki
    Of course.
[20:49] Kaseki
    As a craftsman, I can tell you it's easy to
    cut it in a way that'll keep it from cracking.
[20:56] Kaseki
    So why?
[20:58] (Flashback) Xeno
    It's cracked.
[20:59] (Flashback) Kohaku
    You're right.
[21:04] Kaseki
    When you hammer the diamonds
    from the Medusas just right...
[21:12] Kohaku
    Every one of the diamond batteries...
[21:14] Suika
    ...split cleanly in half.
[21:18] Xeno
    There's a cleavage point with a weak atomic
    bond running right along the line at the point!
[21:25] Senku
    And something must be getting
    channeled through it.
[21:29] Kaseki
    I'm getting fired up!
[21:30] Kaseki
    This work's going to be hard as hell!
[21:34] Chrome
    We're on the right track, aren't we?
[21:37] Chrome
    In figuring out how the diamond batteries work?
[21:40] Kaseki
    I can't wait to tell Joel!
[21:44] Kaseki
    We can get it done quicker
    if we share our discoveries.
[21:47] Senku
    I told you, we can't use our radio.
[21:50] Ukyo
    We can't reveal our location to Stanley
    until we're fully ready to fight.
[21:55] Tsukasa
    It'll be a race against time.
[21:57] Hyoga
    The instant they arrive, we'll all be shot dead.
[22:04] Kohaku
    We just need to finish the Medusa first.
[22:09] Senku
    And we win.
