SIGN    Two Weeks Before the Perseus's Departure
[00:02] Chrome
    What's up with this, Senku?
[00:04] (Flashback) Chrome
    This wheat's all soggy.
[00:06] (Flashback) Kaseki
    And it's sprouted.
[00:08] (Flashback) Senku
    And that's totally fine.
[00:09] (Flashback) Senku
    And then we dry it over a fire.
[00:12] (Flashback) Kaseki
    Even though you just soaked it?
[00:14] (Flashback) Chrome
    What are you even trying to do?
[00:15] (Flashback) Kohaku
    Knead it well and get rid of the hulls.
[00:18] (Flashback) Kohaku
    And then beat the heck out of it!
[00:21] (Flashback) Senku
    And then mix it in hot water and filter.
[00:24] (Flashback) Kohaku
    All done. Wheat juice.
[00:28] (Flashback) Senku
    Toss in some of Japan's own hops,
    Humulus lupulus, and boil.
[00:32] (Flashback) Senku
    And then we just let the
    mighty yeast do their thing.
[00:36] (Flashback) Senku
    It'll ferment on its own and become alcohol.
[00:39] (Flashback) Senku
    The yeast will even carbonate it for us.
[00:49] Ryusui
    Beer is rather impressive, is it not?
[00:52] Senku
    They even paid pyramid builders
    with beer back in ancient Egypt.
[00:58] Senku
    It's perfect after heavy labor.
[01:00] Ryusui
    You're right.
[01:04] Ryusui
    It's fantastic!
[01:06] Ryusui
    Aren't you having any, Senku?
[01:08] Senku
    I'll pass.
[01:10] Senku
    Nah, I'm not the only one.
[01:12] Senku
    The ship will sink if everyone
    gets drunk at the same time.
[01:16] Senku
    There's always gonna be
    a few who avoid drinking.
[01:22] Suika
    I can't drink alcohol.
[01:24] Senku
    Oh, yeah, that's right.
[01:28] Ryusui
    All right, then.
[01:30] Ryusui
    But so long as you're on my ship, when it's
    time to have fun, you're going to have fun.
[01:35] Ryusui
    I won't allow a single exception!
[01:37] Ryusui
    Francois!
[01:39] Francois
    Understood.
[01:40] Francois
    I shall mix a special soft drink cocktail
[01:43] Francois
    for each of those who will not be imbibing.
[01:48] Gen
    Isn't that a bit extreme?
    It's just a shipboard minibar!
[01:51] Ryusui
    You can count on Francois
    to take it to the extreme.
[01:55] Senku
    Let me know if you need anything.
[01:57] Chrome
    Yeah, the science team will take care of it!
[02:00] Francois
    Thank you kindly.
[02:03] Francois
    In that case, since you offered...
[03:43] (Flashback) Gen
    Gum syrup?
[03:44] (Flashback) Senku
    We're making it out of wheat.
[03:46] (Flashback) Senku
    The stuff you get in the water when
    you wash wheat flour is starch.
[03:52] (Flashback) Senku
    We'll add a dash of sulfuric
    acid as a secret ingredient.
[03:55] (Flashback) Gen
    It's our friend Ryu-san again.
[03:57] (Flashback) Gen
    Sulfuric acid?! In a drink?!
[03:59] (Flashback) Gen
    How are you even supposed to drink that?!
[04:02] (Flashback) Senku
    It'll melt your teeth if you drink it straight.
[04:04] (Flashback) Senku
    That's why we're boiling it good.
[04:06] (Flashback) Kaseki
    I knew it. We're going to use
    chemistry to detoxify it, right?
[04:12] (Flashback) Kaseki
    You gotta slow down, Gen.
[04:14] (Flashback) Senku
    And then we add barium carbonate.
[04:16] (Flashback) Gen; Kaseki
    Even more poison?!
[04:18] (Flashback) Gen
    I mean, it's just the name that
    makes it sound bad, right?
[04:21] (Flashback) Gen
    Think about it. There's no way
    we'd be using legit poison.
[04:24] (Flashback) Senku
    No, it's legit poison.
[04:26] (Flashback) Gen; Kaseki; Chrome
    Why?!
[04:27] (Flashback) Senku
    Just shut up already.
[04:30] (Flashback) Senku
    We've been making sugar and stuff with this.
[04:33] (Flashback) Senku
    Mix it well, check the pH,
    and filter it, and it's harmless.
[04:38] (Flashback) Senku
    That's how science works.
[04:39] (Flashback) Senku
    Don't try this if you don't know
    what you're doing. You'll die.
[04:42] (Flashback) Senku
    And now we have gum syrup.
[04:48] (Flashback) Chrome
    Sweet!
[04:55] (Flashback) Taiju
    Are you warming milk?
[04:57] (Flashback) Taiju
    It's not much hotter than bath water.
    Is that hot enough?
[05:01] (Flashback) Chrome
    That's the trick.
[05:05] (Flashback) Taiju
    It turned into yogurt stuff!
[05:07] (Flashback) Senku
    Filtered yogurt, gum syrup,
    and lemon together make...

    Lactic drink
    acquired!!
[05:32] Francois
    Please enjoy.
[05:43] Suika
    I-I've never had anything like this!
[05:46] Suika
    It's super sweet and just a little bit sour.
[05:48] Suika
    It's so good!
[05:49] Francois
    I tried adding apple juice to a lactic drink.
[05:53] Yuzuriha
    Apple flavor. Good idea.
[05:56] Kaseki
    It even has a cucumber garnish.
[05:59] Kaseki
    It's so cute with the Suika mask.
[06:03] Francois
    It's not just a garnish.
[06:05] Francois
    Try dropping it into the glass once
    you've finished about half of it.
[06:15] Suika
    It changed into watermelon flavor!
[06:18] Suika
    It's really refreshing!
[06:21] Yuzuriha
    That's so strange.
[06:22] Yuzuriha
    How did apple turn into watermelon?
[06:24] Senku
    Ah, so that's what happens when you mix
    gourd family plants with fruit juice.
[06:29] Francois
    Your pure smile, like the sunshine,
[06:31] Francois
    reacts with your mask
    and offers a different charm.
SIGN    Lactic drink... 45ml
SIGN    Apple juice... 30ml
SIGN    Cucumber (grated)
     ... a bit
SIGN    Cucumber ... a bit
[06:36] Francois
    A cocktail for Suika-sama, the 2Side Sunshine.
[06:42] Yuzuriha
    I've seen bartenders in movies
    throw drinks like that.
[06:48] Chrome
    There must be some scientific reason
    for how you mix drinks, right?
[06:51] Senku
    You think so?
[06:53] Francois
    None whatsoever.
[06:54] Chrome
    There isn't?!
[06:55] Francois
    It's called flair.
[06:57] Francois
    It serves the vital purpose of treating the
    guest's eyes in addition to their palates.
[07:02] Chrome
    Francois is a real master
    of the art of hospitality.
[07:06] Francois
    A cocktail for Tsukasa-sama.
SIGN    Grenadine (pomegranate)
     Syrup... 20ml
SIGN    Tonic water
     ...30ml
[07:09] Francois
    The red of the pomegranate under
    the light of science, the black light,
[07:14] Francois
    changes like the gentle flame
    inside Tsukasa-sama's heart.
[07:18] Chrome
    It changed blue!
[07:19] Suika
    It's glowing...
[07:20] Yuzuriha
    So pretty.
[07:26] Tsukasa
    Not bad.
[07:28] Tsukasa
    It's delicious.
[07:29] Francois
    For Gen-sama, a grown-up kick
    under a simple exterior.
SIGN    Cola... 120ml
SIGN    Chai syrup
SIGN    ...1-2 teaspoons
SIGN    Lemon... 1 slice
SIGN    Chili pepper... a pinch
[07:39] Gen
    Spicy grown-up cola!
[07:42] Francois
    For you, Kohaku-sama.
SIGN    Spicy Cinderella
SIGN    Ginger ale... 60ml
SIGN    Orange juice... 20ml
SIGN    Pineapple juice... 30ml
SIGN    Lemon juice... 5ml
SIGN    Grated ginger... 1 scoop
[07:48] Kohaku
    Humanity is a force to be reckoned with.
[07:50] Kohaku
    All the drinks that can be made
    with just natural ingredients...
[07:56] Senku
    Although, everything in this world is natural.
[07:59] Francois
    And this cocktail is for Senku-sama.
SIGN    Three-layer Tea Latte
SIGN    Whipped matcha... 30ml
SIGN    Milk... 50ml
SIGN    Hojicha tea... 20ml
SIGN    Gum syrup... 2 teaspoons
[08:04] Francois
    From the top, whipped matcha,
    milk, and hojicha syrup.
[08:09] Francois
    The layering represents the
    way science builds on itself.
[08:13] Senku
    I don't care, as long as it's a drink.
[08:15] Senku
    You mind if I stir this now?
[08:17] Francois
    I thought you might ask that.
[08:19] Francois
    With your elegant mixing,
[08:23] Francois
    the many efforts of science
    will mix into a mildly sweet latte.
[08:36] Ginro
    Come on, drink with us, Matsukaze.
[08:39] Ginro
    Tell 'em all those stories about your past.
[08:42] Ginro
    Your master, was it?
[08:43] Ginro
    Tell him how awesome I used to be.
[08:46] Kinro
    That wasn't you, Ginro.
[08:49] Matsukaze
    My master had a strong
    spirit until the very end.
[08:57] Matsukaze
    There was no warning.
[09:01] Matsukaze
    When it rained down...
[09:02] Matsukaze
    Perhaps it had someone's voice,
    or perhaps it finally heard our curses...
[09:10] Matsukaze
    It didn't take long for us to understand
    how the wicked weapon works.
[09:18] (Flashback) Master
    Should these land in the hands of bandits,
    the island will fall prey to crime!
[09:22] (Flashback) Master
    Find them all and destroy them!
[09:28] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    Master!
[09:35] (Flashback) Master
    Matsukaze...
[09:37] (Flashback) Master
    There's no saving me now.
[09:39] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    Master...
[09:40] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    Enough of that nonsense.
[09:42] (Flashback) Master
    I've been thinking...
[09:46] (Flashback) Master
    Why did the heavens spread the
    petrification weapon among the people?
[09:51] (Flashback) Master
    At first, I thought it was divine punishment.
[09:54] (Flashback) Master
    But it's strange...
[09:56] (Flashback) Master
    If the goal was to petrify everyone,
    it would have only taken one device.
[10:03] (Flashback) Master
    And why are they made to be
    so easy for us humans to use?
[10:10] (Flashback) Master
    It's almost as though they intended for us
    to use the devices against each other.
[10:16] (Flashback) Master
    That's what upsets me the most.
[10:19] (Flashback) Master
    I want the heavens to suffer for it, Matsukaze.
[10:23] (Flashback) Master
    I want them to see that we
    humans aren't that foolish.
[10:27] (Flashback) Master
    That they're underestimating us.
[10:57] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    My fate is inescapable.
[10:59] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    I must make sure future generations
    know of the source of this evil.
[11:15] Matsukaze
    I'm aware that the sin of failing
    to protect my master is not one
[11:21] Matsukaze
    that can be erased by defeating Why Man.
[11:25] Matsukaze
    Still, I...
SIGN    Matcha Beer
SIGN    Beer... 200ml
SIGN    Matcha... 1 teaspoon
[11:30] Francois
    Beer with matcha.
SIGN    The bitterness of adulthood will, with time, elevate itself into a mellow flavor.
SIGN    Please enjoy.
[11:47] All
    He's a lightweight!
[12:03] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    I...
[12:05] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    I must become stronger.
[12:07] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Yes.
[12:09] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    Tsukasa-dono, I'd like to borrow your chest!
[12:12] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Sure.
[12:13] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    Tsukasa-dono...
[12:15] (Flashback) Matsukaze
    Tsukasa-dono!
[12:16] Matsukaze
    Forgive me! I was intoxicated
    and stepped out of line.
[12:20] Tsukasa
    Actually...
[12:21] Tsukasa
    I was thinking you need some training, as well.
[12:25] Chrome
    Are we really waking him up, too?
[12:30] Senku
    We have a gun with us now.
    Besides, Tsukasa's here.
[12:32] Senku
    We can keep him under control.
[12:35] Senku
    He's not stupid enough to get any weird ideas
    when the whole of humanity is on the line.
[12:41] Senku
    You're the battle specialist.
[12:43] Senku
    If you think you need him,
    it's your decision, Tsukasa.
[12:46] Tsukasa
    Fighting is my job, and he's the most
    qualified for training in that department.
[13:02] Tsukasa
    We need your help, Hyoga.
[13:04] Tsukasa
    With training in modern martial arts,
    Matsukaze will improve dramatically.
[13:12] Hyoga
    I have just one condition.
[13:16] Senku
    What's that?
[13:17] Senku
    Do you want to be pardoned for
    offing Tsukasa and the rest?
[13:21] Hyoga
    I don't need that.
[13:23] Hyoga
    I would never be granted such a thing after
    the judicial institutions are revived.
[13:29] Hyoga
    My condition is two revivals.
[13:31] Hyoga
    Give me the right to revive two people.
[13:47] Homura
    Hyoga-sama.
[13:53] Moz
    What was it...
[13:54] Moz
    Owari Kanryu-style spear techniques?
[13:57] Moz
    Maybe I'll give this "practice" thing
    a try for the first time in my life.
[14:01] Homura
    No, there's something else to do first.
[14:04] Moz
    You're right, there is.
[14:08] Moz
    There are some cute girls here.
[14:11] Moz
    We need to get closer to them first.
[14:13] Homura
    Moz-kun, I expect you to be proper.
[14:24] Ginro
    Kinro! Kinro!
[14:28] Ginro
    Man, I hate that stuff.
[14:31] Ginro
    How are you supposed to even go
    near them? It's so dangerous.
[14:35] Ginro
    So, er...
[14:45] Ginro
    Did you know, Kinro?
[14:46] Ginro
    Bitter defeats eventually become
    a mellow something-or-other.
[14:52] Kinro
    What are you talking about?
[14:53] Ginro
    Francois said something like that.
[14:56] Kinro
    I see.
[15:00] Ginro
    Kinro, what's that?
[15:01] Kinro
    I know not!
[15:01] Ginro
    Ow!
SIGN    Ryusui Theater
[15:07] Ryusui
    The Early Middle Ages.
[15:08] Ryusui
    The northern seas were ruled by us, the Vikings!
[15:14] Ryusui
    With their impressive sailing skills,
[15:17] Ryusui
    they arrived in the Americas
    500 years before Columbus.
SIGN    The Americas
[15:22] Ukyo
    Amazing, isn't it?
[15:24] Ukyo
    How did they manage it so long ago?
[15:26] Ginro
    No fair!
[15:28] Ginro
    Why can they get around so easily?!
[15:31] Ginro
    It's not as though there are signs on the seas!
[15:33] Kinro
    The sun is the only sign on the seas.
[15:35] Kohaku
    But the skies aren't always clear.
[15:38] Suika
    The Vikings sure are strange.
[15:41] Ryusui
    That's why there's a legend that came about:
[15:44] Ryusui
    that the Vikings must have had a stone
    that would reveal the position of the sun
[15:49] Ryusui
    under any condition—a sunstone.
[15:52] Ryusui
    In any case,
[15:53] Ryusui
    it was exceedingly hard to determine
    your heading and position on the high seas.
[15:58] Ginro
    So it's exceedingly hard, and we're supposedly
    taking the hardest route there, aren't we?
[16:05] Senku
    It's easy now.
[16:07] Senku
    Thanks to the great marvel of science
    called GPS, we know exactly where we are.
[16:12] Gen
    About that...
[16:14] Gen
    How are we using GPS in this stone world?
[16:19] Senku
    We coordinate with Ruri and
    the others who stayed in Japan.
[16:24] Mirai
    What is this?
[16:25] Mirai
    Look at all these hourglasses!
[16:27] Ruri
    We use sundials and hourglasses
    to transmit the time in Japan
[16:32] Ruri
    as accurately as possible to the ship.
[16:35] Ginro
    Transmit?!
[16:37] Mirai
    It's really happening!
[16:38] Kohaku
    Chrome's true feelings from far beyond the sea!
[16:41] Chrome
    What are you even talking about?
[16:43] Senku
    We're stupidly far away.
[16:45] Senku
    How are we supposed to talk to them?
[16:48] Gen
    Then how do we...
[16:49] Ukyo
    We can't talk, but we can just
    barely receive shortwave signals.
[16:53] Ukyo
    So we have them send us time signals every hour.
[16:57] Ukyo
    Like that.
[16:59] Ukyo
    It's 10:00 AM over there.
[17:02] Senku
    As long as we know what hour it is,
    I can count the seconds just fine.
[17:08] Gen
    Oh, yeah. I forgot you're a
    human stopwatch, Senku-chan.
[17:12] Suika
    I don't know how we can tell where
    we are from what time it is, though.
[17:19] Gen
    Don't worry.
[17:20] Gen
    The modern grown-ups don't quite get it, either.
[17:24] Kaseki
    The sun's at its highest point right now.
[17:27] Chrome
    The ship's right at 12:00.
[17:32] Ryusui
    From the time difference to Tokyo,
    we get our horizontal position.
[17:35] Ryusui
    From the height of the sun,
    we get our vertical position.
[17:37] Ryusui
    In other words, the Perseus is currently...
[17:40] Ryusui
    here!
[17:43] Taiju
    I don't get how it works,
    but I got the last part.
[17:46] Taiju
    We can definitely know where we are if we
    know our horizontal and vertical position!
[17:49] Suika
    Traveling with science is awesome.
[17:52] Suika
    We know everything as long
    as we can see the sun!
[17:55] Senku
    Yup.
[17:56] Senku
    As long as we have clear skies,
[17:58] Senku
    it's smooth sailing all the way to the States.
[18:08] Gen
    Just as soon as you say that. Yeesh...
[18:11] Gen
    I mean... Senku-chan's the guy who put
[18:14] Gen
    100 skill points in Intelligence,
    Grit, and Willpower
[18:17] Gen
    and zero in Luck when he was born.
[18:21] Kaseki
    There's no way we can see
    the sun through all this.
[18:27] Ryusui
    Which means we'll just have to rely on
    my sailor's instincts during the day.
[18:31] Senku
    We'll lose a lot of time if this keeps
    up for more than a few days.
[18:34] Suika
    We're going to be lost at sea without the sun.
[18:38] Suika
    If only we had the sunstone from
    the story about the Vikings...
[18:48] Chrome
    That's it!
[18:50] Chrome
    The new rock we got from the skarn deposit,
    nature's treasure chest.
[18:54] Chrome
    Kohaku, could you use your gorilla
    power to chisel it out cleanly?
[18:59] Kohaku
    Is there a pretty gem in there or something?
[19:02] Kohaku
    I'm more than happy to help
    if we're sending it to Ruri-nee.
[19:08] Suika
    I guess... it's pretty, but...
[19:10] Kohaku
    It's just a whitish rock.
[19:13] Chrome
    That's what I thought at first, too.
[19:15] Chrome
    But see, when you look at things through it...
[19:19] Suika
    It looks a bit off.
[19:21] Suika
    You can see it twice!
[19:24] Kohaku
    That is a fascinating rock...
[19:27] Kohaku
    But I don't know if Ruri-nee
    would appreciate it.
[19:30] Chrome
    Why are we even talking about that?
[19:33] Chrome
    Anything cool has a chance of turning
    out to be something awesome someday.
[19:38] Chrome
    So I check everything.
[19:41] Chrome
    That's the way of the science user!
[19:46] Chrome
    Look. See?
[19:48] Chrome
    You can see the mark twice through the rock.
[19:51] Chrome
    Is this the sun here?
[19:54] Suika
    You can't see it at all through the clouds.
[19:57] Chrome
    Yeah, that's fine.
[19:59] Chrome
    When you point it at the sun
    at just the right angle...
[20:03] Chrome
    Look, it lined up!
[20:05] Chrome
    The two marks show up the exact same tone.
[20:08] Chrome
    Not that I know why.
[20:11] Kohaku
    Which means...
[20:13] Chrome
    That's right.
[20:14] Chrome
    You can see the sun over
    there through the clouds!

    "Sunstone"
    acquired!!
[20:21] Senku
    Calcite!
[20:23] Senku
    Calcite is a natural prism.
[20:25] Senku
    It splits light into two.
[20:28] Gen
    So when these line up, that's where the sun is?
[20:32] Senku
    Yeah, that's more or less the idea.
[20:36] Ryusui
    I've heard about something like that.
[20:38] Ryusui
    When they investigate Viking
    shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea,
[20:41] Ryusui
    they come across a surprising amount of calcite.
[20:45] Ryusui
    It's always been a mystery why the
    Vikings were carrying it around.
[20:51] Ukyo
    Maybe it was neither magic
    nor a legend, but a real thing.
[20:56] Ukyo
    The sunstone.
[20:59] Ryusui
    Correct!
[21:00] Ryusui
    And four thousand years later,
[21:03] Ryusui
    we sail to the Americas,
    just like the Vikings did!
[21:08] Ryusui
    Once again, with the immutable power of science!
[21:14] (Flashback) Chrome
    What are we making with science next?
[22:01] Homura
    Land!
[22:06] Suika
    F-Finally!
[22:08] Suika
    We made it!
[22:10] All
    We've arrived at the Americas!
