[00:07] Narration
    That day, everyone in the
    world turned to stone.
[00:15] Taiju
    Listen up, Senku!
[00:16] Taiju
    I've made up my mind.
[00:18] Taiju
    I'm going to confess the feelings I've had
    for Yuzuriha for the past five years!
[00:23] Senku
    Yeah?
[00:24] Senku
    Well, that sure does sound interesting.
[00:28] Senku
    I'll be cheering for you so hard
    that my vocal cords snap.
[00:30] Senku
    From here in this science lab.
[00:32] Taiju
    You will?
[00:34] Taiju
    Thanks, Senku!
[00:35] Senku
    Shut up. I'm not cheering one
    millimeter for you, you big oaf.
[00:40] Taiju
    What?!
[00:40] Taiju
    Make up your mind!
[00:41] Senku
    And you haven't said anything for five years?
[00:44] Senku
    How illogical can you be, idiot?
[00:46] Senku
    I've got something for you
    that's logical as hell.
[00:50] Senku
    A drug that'll stimulate your
    pheromone output to the max.
[00:53] Senku
    A love potion, if you will.
[00:55] Senku
    Take this, and you're set,
    ten billion percent.
[01:02] Taiju
    Thanks, Senku, but sorry.
[01:06] Taiju
    I can't rely on cheap tricks.
[01:12] Student A
    Seriously, Senku?
[01:14] Student A
    A love potion?
[01:16] Senku
    Like those even exist.
[01:19] Senku
    It's just gasoline.
[01:20] Senku
    I refined it from plastic bottle caps.
[01:23] Senku
    Think about the molecular structure
    of polyethylene, moron.
[01:27] Senku
    It's just a long gasoline molecule
    with a few hydrocarbons chopped off.
[01:30] Senku
    You can tell by looking at it.
[01:32] Student B
    Uh, no, I can't.
[01:33] Student C
    No way.
[01:34] Student A
    So... wouldn't Taiju-kun
    have died if he drank it?
[01:40] Senku
    I was ten billion percent
    sure he wouldn't drink it.
[01:43] Senku
    Not that strait-laced idiot.
[01:51] Taiju
    Yuzuriha!
[01:52] Taiju
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[01:55] Yuzuriha
    So, what's up, Taiju-kun?
[01:57] Yuzuriha
    What did you want to tell me?
[02:01] Student B
    A hundred yen says he gets rejected.
[02:03] Student C
    Three hundred yen says he gets rejected hard.
[02:05] Student A
    Five hundred yen says he
    gets rejected at full power.
[02:08] Senku
    Ten thousand yen says he actually doesn't.
[02:11] Student A
    Seriously?!
[02:13] Taiju
    I was afraid that by telling her how I feel,
    she wouldn't even be my friend anymore.
[02:19] Taiju
    I've been a coward all this time.
[02:22] Taiju
    Hear me out, Yuzuriha.
[02:25] Taiju
    But today's the day.
[02:27] Taiju
    For the past five years, I've...
[02:35] Taiju
    What's that light?
[02:52] Taiju
    Yuzuriha!
[02:53] Taiju
    Hang on to that camphor tree!
[02:55] Taiju
    I don't know, but...
[02:59] Student A
    What's going on? It's so dark.
[03:00] Student A
    I can't move.
[03:01] Student A
    I can't speak... Someone help!
[03:02] ---
    What's happening?!
[03:02] ---
    Help... Help!
[03:27] Student C
    Help me...
[03:29] Student C
    Mom, Dad...
[03:33] Student C
    Am I... going... to die?
[03:55] Taiju
    I'm not dead!
[03:57] Taiju
    I have to stay focused, or it'll suck me in.
[04:00] Taiju
    Wake up, damn it!
[04:01] Taiju
    Yuzuriha will be all right.
[04:03] Taiju
    I'm sure she's safe.
[04:06] Taiju
    I can't go down a coward.
[04:08] Taiju
    I'm going to confess to Yuzuriha!
[04:18] Taiju
    I'm going to survive by willpower alone!
[04:21] Taiju
    Whether it's for weeks or months...
[04:25] Taiju
    I'll tell her, no matter what!
[04:32] Taiju
    How many decades has it been?
[04:34] Taiju
    Centuries?
[04:35] Taiju
    Millennia?
[04:37] Taiju
    Well, I'm not giving up.
[04:40] Taiju
    I'm gonna tell Yuzuriha.
[04:43] Taiju
    I'll survive, even if it kills me!
[05:38] Taiju
    I broke out!
[05:39] Taiju
    I broke free! Finally!
[05:45] Taiju
    Stone fragments?
[05:57] Taiju
    I see.
[05:58] Taiju
    So it did happen to everyone.
[06:04] Taiju
    Just how much time has gone by?
[06:09] Taiju
    I'm sorry.
[06:11] Taiju
    This is all I can do for you right now.
[06:17] Taiju
    As long as the terrain
    hasn't changed too much,
[06:19] Taiju
    I should be able to follow the river back.
[06:22] Taiju
    Back to that camphor tree...
[06:28] (Flashback) Student A
    Hey, something fell down.
[06:30] (Flashback) Student B
    A stone carving of a bird?
[06:32] (Flashback) Student A
    Whoever made this is amazing.
    Look at the detail on the wings.
[06:36] (Flashback) Student B
    It looks so real.
[06:37] (Flashback) Taiju
    Maybe it is real.
[06:40] (Flashback) Taiju
    My friend said he saw one
    like that somewhere else.
[06:42] (Flashback) Taiju
    He posted a photo of it.
[06:44] (Flashback) Taiju
    Poor thing...
[06:46] (Flashback) Taiju
    It might be, like, a bird disease
    that makes its skin harden.

[07:00] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    No vet's office is going to be open
    before school hours even start.
[07:04] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    You never think things through, do you?
[07:06] Taiju
    Yuzuriha!
[07:07] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    Besides, there's no way that
    carving could be a real bird.
[07:11] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    And you brought it to a vet?
[07:13] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    You're so silly.
[07:14] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    I'm embarrassed for you.
[07:19] Taiju
    Of all the people to just happen to run into
    me when I'm in the middle of being a dolt...
[07:24] (Flashback) Taiju
    Wait... Run into me?
[07:27] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    Yup, and here's another embarrassing
    kid who didn't think things through.
[07:33] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    Imagine that!
SIGN    Shuei Animal Hospital
[07:37] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    Come on, stop laughing.
[07:39] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    You did the same thing.
[07:41] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    We're gonna be late for school now.
[07:43] (Flashback) Taiju
    Yeah, you're right!
[07:53] Taiju
    Yuzuriha.
[08:00] Taiju
    I'd never mistake you.
[08:02] Taiju
    Even after thousands of years.
[08:05] Taiju
    You've been alive all this time.
[08:24] Taiju
    Good job staying alive!
[08:26] Taiju
    Well done, camphor tree!
[08:28] Taiju
    This whole time, you kept Yuzuriha
[08:30] Taiju
    from washing away and breaking apart!
[08:34] Taiju
    I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.
[08:38] Taiju
    Actually, you were the one who
    was protecting me, Yuzuriha.
[08:43] Taiju
    It's because of you that I was
    able to stay alive all this time,
[08:48] Taiju
    alone in that hopeless darkness,
[08:51] Taiju
    for hundreds of years... thousands of years...
[08:56] Taiju
    All right, I can finally say it.
[08:59] Taiju
    Let me finish saying what I
    was about to say that day.
[09:03] Taiju
    The rest of what I was saying
    on that day so long ago...
[09:23] Taiju
    I've loved you...
[09:26] Taiju
    for hundreds of years...
[09:28] Taiju
    thousands of years...
[09:52] Taiju
    I'm going to save you, Yuzuriha.
[09:54] Taiju
    I have no idea how yet,
[09:57] Taiju
    but I will—
SIGN    Follow the river downstream, big oaf
[10:03] Taiju
    "Follow the river downstream, big oaf."
[10:16] Senku
    So you're finally awake, you big oaf.
[10:23] Taiju
    You're alive, Senku?!
[10:26] Senku
    Don't hug me while you're buck naked!
[10:28] Senku
    I'll kill you!
[10:32] Senku
    Today is October 5th, 5738.
[10:36] Senku
    You slept in for a hell of a long time.
[10:39] Senku
    I've been up and working for
    over six months already.
[10:43] Taiju
    So it's been...
[10:46] Senku
    A good 3,700 years.
[10:49] Taiju
    How can you tell exactly what day it is?
[10:54] Senku
    I just counted.
[10:56] Senku
    How else would I know?
[11:00] Senku
    Four, five, six, seven, eight...
[11:07] Senku
    Damn, I almost lost consciousness again.
[11:10] Senku
    I peak every 800,000 seconds or so.
[11:15] Senku
    I guess it's like when you have diarrhea.
[11:19] Senku
    Think and count at the same time.
[11:22] Senku
    Use your brain in parallel.
[11:24] Senku
    116,427,065,530 seconds.
[11:29] Senku
    One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
[11:37] Taiju
    In that darkness?
[11:40] Taiju
    The entire time?
[11:42] Senku
    Even if I could have awakened
    by sheer willpower,
[11:45] Senku
    if I'd woken up naked in the winter,
[11:47] Senku
    trying to find food would have
    been an instant game over.
[11:50] Senku
    Starting in the spring
    is a must for survival.
[11:54] Senku
    An accurate account of the time was
    information that I absolutely needed.
[12:00] Senku
    All right, we're here.
[12:02] Senku
    Time to stop blabbering and get to work.
[12:05] Taiju
    Senku, did you...
[12:08] Taiju
    Did you build this from scratch?
[12:16] Senku
    I don't have enough manpower.
[12:18] Senku
    Just producing the bare minimum
    to keep myself alive takes all day.
[12:22] Senku
    In order to rebuild civilization,
    I need a big, muscle-bound meathead.
[12:27] Senku
    I've been waiting for you
    this whole time, Taiju.
[12:30] Senku
    I was ten billion percent
    certain that you were alive.
[12:33] Senku
    There's no way a guy who was so
    intent on confessing to Yuzuriha
[12:38] Senku
    would give in after just
    a few thousand years.
[12:42] Senku
    You aren't that weak.
[12:44] Taiju
    Yeah.
[12:46] Taiju
    Of course I'm not.
[12:52] Taiju
    I'm counting on you to do
    all the brainy stuff, Senku.
[12:57] Taiju
    You can count on me to do the heavy lifting!
[13:02] Senku
    Humanity spent two million years getting
    from the stone age to the modern age.
[13:07] Senku
    We're going to sprint all
    the way back to the top.
[13:10] Senku
    I'm going to take the world back.
[13:13] Senku
    And I'll figure out the science behind
    the petrification and our revival.
[13:17] Taiju
    I'm going to save Yuzuriha.
[13:21] Senku
    The two of us high school brats
[13:23] Senku
    are going to build a
    civilization out of nothing.
[13:26] Senku
    We're going to become the Adam
    and Eve of this stone world.
[13:31] Senku
    This is exhilarating.
[13:43] Senku
    At least it's a huge haul, I guess.
[13:46] Senku
    What kind of cheat gave you that stamina?
[13:52] Senku
    Amanita virosa: poisonous.
[13:53] Senku
    Buna shimeji: edible.
[13:55] Senku
    Amanita muscaria: poisonous.
[13:56] Senku
    You can't tell this one's bad?
    It looks like it's right out of Mario.
[13:59] Senku
    Next.
[14:00] Senku
    Mugwort: edible.
[14:02] Senku
    Monkshood.
[14:03] Senku
    Who is there to kill, you moron?
[14:08] Taiju
    Yum!
[14:09] Taiju
    How did you season this?
[14:11] Senku
    It's just salt that I pulled from seawater.
[14:13] Senku
    Humans can enjoy just about
    anything with a pinch of salt.
[14:16] Senku
    It's important for pickling, too.
[14:19] Senku
    You could say it's primitive
    man's greatest discovery.
[14:22] Taiju
    Thanks, Senku, for everything!
[14:25] Taiju
    I'm going to make up for
    the thinking I can't do
[14:27] Taiju
    with brute force and diligence!
[14:32] Taiju
    Time to scavenge the other side!
[14:35] Taiju
    Hey, they're wild.
[14:37] Taiju
    Are these edible?
[14:40] Taiju
    Thinking won't help.
[14:41] Taiju
    Eating some will!
[14:50] Taiju
    I've seen him on TV before.
[14:52] Taiju
    He's the "strongest primate high-schooler,"
[14:55] Taiju
    Shishio Tsukasa.
[14:58] Taiju
    It happened to him, too?
[15:08] Taiju
    Look!
[15:11] Taiju
    Someone besides me and Senku has survived!
[15:15] Taiju
    Who left this here?!
[15:16] Senku
    I did, idiot.
[15:18] Taiju
    It was you?!
[15:21] Taiju
    Are we the only humans left in the world?
[15:25] Senku
    We'll get more humans.
[15:27] Senku
    That's a top priority.
[15:29] Senku
    What future does humanity have
    with just us two dudes trudging on?
[15:34] Taiju
    That's true.
[15:35] Senku
    Besides, why exactly were we freed from
    our petrification after 3,700 years?
[15:41] Taiju
    The rock rotted?
[15:43] Senku
    Yeah.
[15:44] Senku
    Supposing this weird mineral was corroded,
[15:48] Senku
    isn't it suspicious that the two of us
    got out at almost the same time?
[15:51] Senku
    Only six months apart after 3,700 years.
[15:54] Senku
    There's a logical explanation
    behind every coincidence.
[15:58] Senku
    You and I both washed up near this cave.
[16:03] Senku
    Look at that stuff dripping from up there.
[16:07] Senku
    It's the miracle liquid made from bat guano...
[16:11] Senku
    Nitric acid.
[16:12] Taiju
    What?! Nitric acid?!
[16:14] Taiju
    What's that?!
[16:16] Senku
    I knew you'd say that, you big oaf.
[16:18] Senku
    I'm not gonna waste time
    even explaining the gist of it.
[16:22] Taiju
    So you're saying this something-or-other acid
    corrodes the stone and revives them?
[16:27] Senku
    If only it were so simple.
[16:38] Senku
    I've been trying like a madman,
[16:40] Senku
    using every method available to me.
[16:45] Senku
    So many times... So many dozens of times...
[16:48] Senku
    This is all in the realm of fantasy.
[16:51] Senku
    Is it mineral? Is it cellular?
[16:54] Senku
    I don't even have the equipment
    to find out anymore.
[16:57] Taiju
    So there are things in this world
    that even science can't explain?
[17:03] Senku
    Here we go again with that tired cliché.
[17:06] Senku
    That's why you hypothesize
    and experiment over and over.
[17:10] Senku
    Science is a slow process.
[17:12] Senku
    If only I had liquor, though...
[17:16] Senku
    With the alcohol in liquor,
SIGN    Ethanol
SIGN    Nitric acid
[17:18] Senku
    I could combine the nitric acid
    and ethanol to make nital.
[17:22] Senku
    It's literally an industrial-strength
    etching agent.
[17:25] Taiju
    What did you just say, Senku?
[17:27] Senku
    Huh? I said nital.
[17:29] Senku
    It gets into the ferrite grain boundary and—
[17:31] Taiju
    Not that! I don't understand the brainy stuff.
[17:34] Taiju
    But "If only I had liquor"?
[17:37] Taiju
    Couldn't we make wine out of grapes?
[17:43] Senku
    Not bad, you big oaf!
SIGN    Laboratory
[17:55] Senku
    Okay, you can do all the
    grunt work from now on.
[17:58] Senku
    That makes more sense.
SIGN    Laboratory
[18:03] Senku
    Making wine couldn't be easier.
[18:05] Senku
    Crush grapes and raisins and
    stuff, put it in a container,
[18:09] Senku
    and just mix it every day until it's done.
[18:13] Senku
    Though it would have been a crime
[18:15] Senku
    to make liquor without a
    license back in our day.
[18:20] Senku
    Three weeks...
[18:21] Senku
    That should do it.
[18:23] Taiju
    You know, Senku, this would count
    as underage drinking, though.
[18:28] Senku
    Not a problem.
[18:29] Senku
    We're well over 3,700 years old.
[18:32] Taiju
    Oh, you're right!
[18:41] Senku
    It's better than I thought it'd be.
[18:43] Senku
    Though it's about ten billion times
    worse than what's on the market.
[18:46] Taiju
    I never knew it was so easy
    to make with just grapes.
[18:49] Senku
    One step at a time.
[18:52] Senku
    Things are about to get a
    little more tedious, though.
[18:56] Senku
    Distilling Wine for Dummies,
[18:58] Senku
    starting with brandy.
[19:00] Taiju
    Distilling, huh?
[19:02] Taiju
    No idea what that means!
[19:03] Senku
    I knew you'd say that.
[19:05] Senku
    Heat it, cool it, drip it.
[19:08] Senku
    That concentrates the alcohol.
[19:10] Senku
    Don't worry. People in the
    Mesopotamian Civilization
[19:13] Senku
    were doing it in 3000 B.C. using clay pots.
[19:17] Senku
    There's nothing you can't do if you try.
[19:19] Senku
    This is exhilarating.
[21:09] Senku
    Let me teach you, big oaf...
[21:12] Senku
    It's not that there are things
    that science can't explain.
[21:19] Senku
    You look for the rules behind those things.
[21:22] Senku
    Science is just the name for the steady,
[21:25] Senku
    pain-in-the-ass effort
    that goes into doing it.
[21:58] Senku
    One year since I started experimenting...
[22:01] Senku
    It didn't take as long as I thought.
[22:06] Senku
    It's a slow but steady effort.
[22:09] Senku
    I'm going to beat fantasy with science.
[22:16] Senku
    This is exhilarating.
