**[00:02] Gen**
A long, long time ago...
**[00:06] Gen**
Out of nowhere, a strange light
rained down upon the world.
**[00:10] Gen**
The *entire* world.
**[00:27] Gen**
And that light turned everyone into stone.
**[00:33] Gen**
After that, the world slowly collapsed.
**[00:37] Gen**
The buildings and everything else,
all of civilization, vanished.
**[00:42] Gen**
After humanity had spent
millions of years building it.
**[00:45] Gen**
What a shame!
**[00:49] Gen**
But there was one man who hadn't given up.
**[00:56] Gen**
Even after he was petrified,
he held on to his consciousness.
**[00:59] Gen**
In fact, he kept counting the seconds.
**[01:03] Gen**
The date and time are too
precious to forget, he figured.
**[01:07] Gen**
He's absolutely nuts.
**[01:11] Gen**
And that man... was Senku-chan!
**[01:18] Gen**
One summer day, thousands of years
after humanity was petrified,
**[01:23] Gen**
Senku-chan awoke, all alone.
**[01:27] Gen**
He found himself in an empty, primitive Earth.
**[01:31] Gen**
I probably would've died
helplessly on the spot.
**[01:35] Gen**
But Senku-chan is an awesome science whiz.
**[01:39] Gen**
He made his own food, clothes, and shelter...
**[01:47] Gen**
and eventually, he also made the revival fluid!
**[01:52] Child A**
Senku's awesome!
**[01:54] Child B**
I want to be like Senku, too!
**[01:56] Gen**
The kids certainly love him.
**[02:00] Gen**
Well, then, let's hear a word
from our amazing leader.
**[02:06] Gen**
Senku-chan!
**[02:09] Senku**
Sure, whatever. That was absolutely riveting.
**[02:13] Senku**
Your super stone world
foundation story was epic.
**[02:18] Senku**
I'm bawling over here.
**[02:21] Senku**
Also, Gen, quit babbling
and put your hands to work.
**[02:26] Gen**
You got me. I was procrastinating.
**[02:34] Gen**
So, he used the revival fluid
to bring back this tough,
**[02:37] Gen**
mighty guy named Tsukasa-chan.
**[02:45] (Flashback) Tsukasa**
This is a stone world.
**[02:48] (Flashback) Tsukasa**
An untainted paradise.
**[02:51] (Flashback) Tsukasa**
We'll revive only the pure-hearted youth
**[02:54] (Flashback) Tsukasa**
and live in a natural world owned by no one.
**[02:59] (Flashback) Tsukasa**
It's a chance to purify humanity.
**[03:03] (Flashback) Tsukasa**
Don't you agree, Senku?
**[03:09] (Flashback) Senku**
Not at all.
**[03:10] (Flashback) Senku**
Not even a millimeter.
**[03:14] (Flashback) Senku**
I'm going to use the power of science
to rescue every single person.
**[03:22] Gen**
They ended up in a massive disagreement.
**[03:26] Gen**
So while Tsukasa-chan is all like,
**[03:28] Gen**
"Let's build a new world!"
and reviving people to join him,
**[03:31] Gen**
Senku-chan built a kingdom of science
on top of this village in order to fight him.
**[03:37] Child B**
We're the Kingdom of Science!
**[03:39] Child A**
Down with Tsukasa!
**[03:41] Gen**
Although, Senku-chan...
**[03:43] Gen**
We worked so hard on
the cell phone so we could
**[03:45] Gen**
execute a preemptive
strike on Tsukasa-chan.
**[03:48] Gen**
Shouldn't we get moving? It's going to be
spring soon, and they'll come knocking.
**[03:53] Gen**
What are we making next?
**[03:56] Senku**
Yeah...
**[03:57] Senku**
That's why we're going to finish up
this super science project item.
**[04:02] Gen**
A super item?
**[04:04] Senku**
We're going to defeat the
Tsukasa Empire with agility and speed.
**[04:09] Senku**
We're making humanity's greatest
survival science product: space food!
**[04:16] Suzu**
Sp...
**[04:17] Shovel**
...ace?
**[04:18] Suika**
Food?
**[04:21] Gen**
*Here we go again!*
**[04:23] Gen**
* Another craft that couldn't*
* possibly belong in a stone world!*
**[04:32] Suika**
What's "space"?
**[04:35] Chrome**
It's that place way, way above the sky.
**[04:39] Kaseki**
This is starting to sound exciting again.
**[04:42] Kaseki**
I can't wait!
**[04:44] Kohaku**
It's just food, though, isn't it?
**[04:46] Senku**
Yeah.
**[04:47] Senku**
We're upgrading our favorite foxtail
millet ramen to be fit for battle.
**[04:54] Ginro**
Me! Me! I'll help!
**[04:57] Ginro**
I want ramen so bad!
**[04:59] Ginro**
Seriously! *So* bad!
**[05:01] Kinro**
Ginro, what are you trying to say?
**[05:04] Kokuyo**
But why do we need this
space... ramen for battle?
**[05:09] Kokuyo**
Ah! We're launching steaming hot
ramen at the enemy, correct?
**[05:14] Ruri**
I don't think that's it, Father.
**[05:18] Senku**
There isn't any gravity in space,
**[05:21] Senku**
let alone the room or time
to sit down for a meal.
**[05:24] Senku**
This stuff is quick to prepare and nutritious.
**[05:29] Senku**
It's also small and light.
**[05:31] Senku**
That's the super well-thought-out,
precious food that is space food.
**[05:36] Gen**
I see.
**[05:37] Gen**
Tsukasa-chan doesn't want
to attack in the winter
**[05:41] Gen**
partly because he wants more men, but...
**[05:44] Senku**
It's a simple problem.
**[05:46] Senku**
In this stone world, a mega-cold
winter battlefield is hell.
**[05:51] Senku**
But we can overcome that
problem with science.
**[05:55] Senku**
A warm, proper meal that
we can prepare instantly
**[05:59] Senku**
would give us a ten billion
percent advantage.
**[06:02] Senku**
It's the ultimate weapon in a winter battle.
**[06:04] Suika**
Warm science food is going to keep us
powered up, in both body and spirit!
**[06:09] Chrome**
Space food sounds amazing!
**[06:12] Senku**
This is the final super item for
our attack on the Tsukasa Empire.

**[06:17] Senku**
Let's get started!
**[06:19] Kohaku**
Leave us to make the ramen.
**[06:23] Kohaku**
Now that everyone in the
village has come together,
**[06:25] Kohaku**
we can be more efficient than ever.
**[06:28] Chrome**
The maker team's gotta keep up, too.
**[06:31] Chrome**
We're going to build a machine to
upgrade that ramen into space ramen!
**[06:36] Kaseki**
But how does this work?
**[06:39] Senku**
We're going to vacuum the ramen.
**[06:42] Senku**
We'll take all the air out.
**[06:43] Senku**
It's the same as what we did before.
**[06:45] Kaseki**
Ah, when we built the cell phones.
**[06:48] Kaseki**
Those vacuum tubes were a real pain.
**[06:51] Kaseki**
Wait, vacuum the ramen?
**[06:54] Kaseki**
What does that mean?
***SIGN*** Ramen
**[07:09] Ginro**
Sneak...
**[07:12] Kohaku**
Okay, the ramen's done.
**[07:15] Suika**
Now we just need to warm it up in soup.
**[07:18] Senku**
That won't be necessary.
**[07:23] Senku**
We're freezing it solid.
**[07:27] Ginro**
Why are we freezing all this delicious ramen?!
**[07:31] Kohaku**
The rules are the rules.
**[07:33] Kohaku**
Stop talking and get to work, Ginro!
**[07:54] Kohaku**
This is space ramen?
**[07:56] Senku**
No, this is just frozen food.
**[07:59] Senku**
We're going to lighten this to Hell and back
so our troops can be even more mobile.
**[08:04] Gen**
Lighten ramen?
**[08:07] Gen**
You don't mean...
**[08:08] Senku**
That's right.
**[08:09] Senku**
We're making cup noodles.
**[08:13] Senku**
It's the birth of freeze-dried food.
**[08:17] Gen**
Freeze-dried, huh?
**[08:19] Gen**
I've heard of it, but what
exactly are we doing?
**[08:24] Senku**
We're literally freezing
it and then drying it.
**[08:27] Senku**
That's all it is.
**[08:30] Senku**
When you freeze food,
the moisture inside turns to ice.
***SIGN*** Solid
**[08:34] Gen**
Yeah, of course.
**[08:36] Gen**
I get that much.
**[08:37] Senku**
Put that in a vacuum, and the lack of air
in the environment turns the water...
**[08:44] Senku**
Poof! Into vapor.
**[08:47] Senku**
That dries out the food and
makes it super small and light.
**[08:54] Suika**
This is all too complicated for me.
**[08:56] Kohaku**
How exactly do we do the "poof!" part?
**[09:01] Senku**
That's what the maker team's for.
**[09:10] Kaseki**
It's done!
**[09:12] Chrome**
Check this out.
**[09:14] Chrome**
We used the water wheel that
we suffered so much to build...
**[09:18] Chrome**
to build a freeze drying machine!
**[09:22] Senku**
I'm impressed, Chrome, Kaseki!
**[09:26] Kohaku**
Everything here is made using things
we built together with Senku.
**[09:33] Senku**
Yeah.
**[09:34] Senku**
That's what humanity did, working away
diligently over the past two million years.
**[09:41] Senku**
That's science.
**[09:48] Senku**
We have freeze-dried ramen!
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 0 -30 l 118 -30 l 118 30 l -118 30 l -118 -30 l 0 -30
***SIGN*** Space food acquired!!
**[09:54] Chrome**
Yes!
**[09:56] Chrome**
Wait, what is this?
**[09:58] Kinro**
It does look small and light, but...
**[10:00] Ginro**
Uh, it looks gross.
**[10:03] Ginro**
It's all spongy and rough.
**[10:06] Senku**
Just watch.
**[10:13] Kohaku**
Is this really edible, though?
**[10:16] Chrome**
Yo, I'll be the guinea pig!
**[10:18] Chrome**
A science user never hesitates
to jump on anything new!
**[10:23] Suika**
You've said that before, too.
**[10:25] Kohaku**
I'm pretty sure you just want
to be the first to eat it.
**[10:34] Chrome**
Yum!
**[10:38] Chrome**
Is it just me, or is it even better than
before, now that it's nice and hot?!
**[10:46] Chrome**
Here you go.
**[11:27] Magma**
Now we can fight and eat at the same time!
**[11:32] Gen**
I don't know if that really gives
us an advantage, Magma-chan.
**[11:39] Ruri**
I don't want anyone to get hurt.
**[11:43] Ruri**
We can't avoid fighting anymore, can we?
**[11:46] Senku**
We aren't going to go kill anyone.
**[11:50] Senku**
The victory condition for the Kingdom
of Science is remarkably simple.
**[11:55] Senku**
We just want to capture the miracle cave
where we can gather the revival fluid.
**[12:00] Senku**
If we can keep in touch with my friends
on the other side using our cell phones,
**[12:03] Senku**
we could even accomplish a bloodless siege.
**[12:08] Kaseki**
Are these friends of yours truly safe?
**[12:12] Kinro**
They've been infiltrating the enemy
army this whole time, haven't they?
**[12:15] Kinro**
Are they not in danger?
**[12:17] Senku**
Not one millimeter of concern there.
**[12:20] Senku**
Taiju and Yuzuriha aren't
going to croak that easily.
**[12:28] Ginro**
I wonder what they're like.
**[12:29] Ginro**
Considering they're Senku's friends,
they must be really, really smart.
**[12:35] Senku**
Who the hell are these people?!
**[12:37] Senku**
They look nothing like that!
**[12:39] Senku**
Taiju's a simpleton who's
in charge of brawny stuff!
**[12:42] Ginro**
Huh?! Not what I expected...
**[12:58] Gen**
It's become the official background music.
**[13:01] Gen**
Amazing, huh?
**[13:03] Gen**
Lillian-chan, the world's diva.
**[13:06] Gen**
Everyone's in love, even in this age.
**[13:08] Ruri**
Her voice is still so beautiful,
even after hearing it so many times.
**[13:12] Suika**
Everyone in the Tsukasa army
should hear this record, too.
**[13:16] Kohaku**
It's so pretty, I'm destroyed!
**[13:19] Kohaku**
Maybe it'll convince them to
stop attacking or something.
**[13:23] Gen**
Lillian-chan's songs are way
too familiar to modern people.
**[13:28] Gen**
They aren't going to be destroyed by it.
**[13:32] Gen**
Besides, with this audio quality...
**[13:36] Gen**
*This audio quality...*
**[13:56] Senku**
Just come up already.
**[13:58] Senku**
What do you want?
**[14:05] Gen**
Heya.
**[14:08] Gen**
I didn't want the pure-hearted to hear.
**[14:12] Gen**
Like Kinro-chan and Kokuyo-chan.
**[14:16] Senku**
It already sounds like
you've got a skeevy plan.
**[14:18] Gen**
Good guess.
**[14:23] Gen**
All we need is the record
and a pair of phones.
**[14:27] Gen**
If it works out, we can actually
save seven billion people
**[14:29] Gen**
in a bloodless siege on the Tsukasa Empire.
**[14:33] Gen**
But if God happens to be watching,
**[14:37] Gen**
Ishigami Senku and Asagiri Gen
are going to Hell together.
**[14:45] Senku**
Not to worry.
**[14:48] Senku**
God's been absent in the world
of science for ten billion years.
**[14:53] Senku**
Let's hear it, mentalist.
**[15:03] Gen**
I didn't want the pure-hearted to hear.
**[15:07] Gen**
Like Kinro-chan and Kokuyo-chan.
**[15:11] Senku**
It already sounds like
you've got a skeevy plan.
**[15:11] Chrome**
Senku and Gen? Holding a secret meeting?
**[15:13] Gen**
Good guess.
**[15:15] Gen**
Quiz time!
**[15:16] Gen**
The secret to Tsukasa-chan's empire.
**[15:19] Gen**
What's the unifying force
that brings them together?
**[15:24] Gen**
A: Food.
**[15:26] Gen**
B: Hot chicks.
**[15:27] Gen**
C: Tsukasa-chan himself.
**[15:31] Senku**
C, obviously.
**[15:33] Gen**
Ding, ding, ding! Ten billion points!
**[15:35] Gen**
Tsukasa-chan's always been a popular figure,
**[15:40] Gen**
with his "strongest high
school primate" title.
**[15:44] Gen**
Which means that, in order
to break them apart,
**[15:48] Lilli & Gen**
we just need someone who's as famous
and popular as Tsukasa-chan.
**[15:55] Lillian**
Hi! I'm Lillian Weinberg.
**[15:59] Chrome**
*A woman's voice!*
**[16:00] Chrome**
*From that record!*
**[16:04] Gen**
I can kind of fake a woman's voice, too.
**[16:07] Gen**
Although it's pretty tough.
**[16:08] Senku**
No, that was close.
**[16:10] Senku**
That was really close.
**[16:12] Senku**
But it's going to be totally
obvious that it's a guy's voice.
**[16:17] Gen**
I know, right?
**[16:20] Gen**
But what if the voice came over
our low-quality, noisy phones?
**[16:27] Senku**
And you're using the voice from
the record as authentication.
**[16:30] Gen**
Ding, ding, ding! A hundred billion points!
**[16:33] Chrome**
*What are they talking about?*
**[16:35] Gen**
Lillian's live singing, heard over the phone...
**[16:39] Gen**
A powerful voice only she could pull off.
**[16:43] Senku**
Well, it *is* her, after all.
**[16:45] Gen**
You'd have to believe that Lillian's
alive and on the other end of the phone.
**[16:53] Lillian**
This is Lillian Weinberg
calling from America.
**[16:56] Lillian**
*People of Japan, please hear me out.*
**[16:58] Lillian**
*The world hasn't collapsed.*
**[17:01] Lillian**
*The United States has already recovered.*
**[17:04] Lillian**
*Help is on the way to Japan, as well.*
**[17:08] Senku**
So you're going to make a zombie
Lillian to tell a big, fat lie,
**[17:12] Senku**
and deceive everyone with false hope.
**[17:17] Senku**
We're *definitely* going to Hell.
**[17:22] Senku**
Okay, got it. We'll figure out the details later.
**[17:25] Senku**
Let's go with that.
**[17:26] Gen**
That was quick!
**[17:29] Chrome**
What do you mean, "okay, got it"?!
I didn't get any of that!
**[17:37] Senku**
Tell him from the top, mentalist.
**[17:43] Gen**
First, we deliver the cell phone
to Taiju-chan and Yuzuriha-chan.
**[17:47] Gen**
We very quietly let Tsukasa's army hear it,
and play Lillian-chan's songs.
**[17:52] Gen**
Thus we trick them.
**[17:54] Lillian**
This call is coming from America.
**[17:56] Lillian**
The world hasn't collapsed!
**[18:00] Senku**
They all think the old
world's been destroyed.
**[18:03] Senku**
That's the only reason they're
following their great leader Tsukasa.
**[18:07] Gen**
Well, it *is* destroyed.
**[18:09] Senku**
If they think there's help on the
way, that changes everything.
**[18:15] Senku**
After we make most of
Tsukasa's army turn on him,
**[18:19] Senku**
we coordinate using our cell phones
**[18:21] Senku**
and conquer them in one swift move.
Not a single drop of blood will be spilled.
**[18:27] Chrome**
Wait, they'll figure out you lied later!
**[18:29] Gen**
Who cares?
**[18:31] Gen**
None of that matters once we capture
Tsukasa-chan and Hyoga-chan.
**[18:35] Senku**
Of course you'd come up with a ten billion
percent underhanded plan like that.
**[18:39] Senku**
It's exhilarating!
**[18:42] Gen**
Everyone in the Tsukasa Empire is
going to hate us to death later.
**[18:49] Gen**
That's all.
**[18:51] Senku**
Don't tell the villagers what we're doing.
**[18:54] Senku**
We don't need any villains from
the old world besides the two of us.
**[19:02] Chrome**
What the hell are you talking about?
**[19:04] Chrome**
I'm an accomplice now that you've told me.
**[19:07] Senku**
You were the one who barged
into the discussion.
**[19:10] Gen**
Literally.
**[19:13] Chrome**
I'm the one carrying out the plan, anyway.
**[19:16] Chrome**
You're going to need a technician to deploy
that giant-ass cell phone, aren't you?
**[19:20] Chrome**
They already recognize you,
Senku. This is my job.
**[19:33] Gen**
Let's go to Hell together, the three of us.
**[19:36] Gen**
But in exchange, let's save the world—
all seven billion people.
**[20:06] Senku**
All right, we're all set.
**[20:11] Senku**
We have three task forces:
**[20:13] Senku**
Chrome on engineering,
**[20:14] Senku**
Magma on transporting the cell phone,
**[20:17] Senku**
and Gen on navigation.
**[20:20] Kohaku**
There's just one big problem...
**[20:22] Kohaku**
The Tsukasa army scout, Homura.
**[20:26] Kohaku**
Judging from the lack of snow
on the branches on that hill,
**[20:28] Kohaku**
I'm pretty sure she's watching from there.
***SIGN*** 11.0 vision
**[20:32] Ginro**
You can see that?!
**[20:34] Kohaku**
Of course not.
**[20:35] Senku**
That would be a good route.
**[20:37] Senku**
It's a straight line from
here to the Tsukasa Empire.
**[20:41] Senku**
If they find out about
our preemptive strike,
**[20:43] Senku**
or worse, learn that we have
cell phones, it's all over.
**[20:49] Ginro**
What if we set out in
the middle of the night?
**[20:51] Chrome**
We're carrying vacuum tubes.
**[20:53] Chrome**
It's all over if we trip in the darkness.
**[20:56] Kohaku**
Could we outrun them?
**[20:57] Magma**
Look at all this stuff
we're carrying, dumbass.
**[20:59] Chrome**
That might not work.
**[21:01] Senku**
Not a problem.
**[21:03] Senku**
We're going to lure Homura to the other
side using a super science gadget.
**[21:08] Senku**
The main force will move out in the meantime.
**[21:11] Chrome**
A super science gadget?
**[21:15] Senku**
If you run electricity through water,
it boils up hydrogen and oxygen.
**[21:20] Senku**
The mixed gas you get out of
it is called a detonating gas.
**[21:23] Senku**
Put it in a balloon, like one
made out of a deer's bladder,
**[21:26] Senku**
