[00:09] Senku
    The first biography I ever read
SIGN    Biography Series
    Edison
[00:11] Senku
    once I started going through
    science books was Edison's.
[00:16] (Flashback) Senku
    What even is electricity, anyway?
[00:19] (Flashback) Senku
    Huh, there are only four fundamental
    forces in the universe?

[00:24] (Flashback) Senku
    Gravity, electromagnetism...
[00:25] (Flashback) Teacher
    What's five plus three?
[00:26] (Flashback) Senku
    So that's what electricity is.
[00:28] (Flashback) Senku
    And then there's the strong
    force and the weak force?
[00:33] (Flashback) Senku
    That's hilariously weird.
[00:37] Senku
    Basically, electricity is the most
    essential power in this universe.
[00:43] Senku
    How exhilarating is that?
[01:08] Senku
    I was born buck-naked and alone
    on this primitive Earth.
[01:13] Senku
    A year and four months later,
    I've finally made it.
[01:19] Senku
    To the essential power of science...
[01:22] Senku
    To electricity.
[01:28] Senku
    This is it.
[01:30] Senku
    I'm off to a good start.
[01:44] Chrome
    All right!
[01:47] Gen
    Man, electricity in the stone age!
[01:50] Gen
    Seriously!
[01:55] Gen
    Right, Tsukasa-chan?
SIGN    A Flimsy Alliance
[03:34] Kohaku
    So you see, Suika, this man called Tsukasa
[03:38] Kohaku
    is the one behind Senku's murder.
[03:41] Senku
    Though I'm not dead.
[03:42] Chrome
    He's seriously bad news.
[03:45] Chrome
    He wanted to stop scientific progress,
[03:47] Chrome
    and he didn't think twice
    about killing Senku to do it.
[03:50] Senku
    I told you, I'm not dead.
[03:53] Suika
    So that Tsukasa person is a
    bad man, and Gen is with him?
[03:58] Suika
    Then Gen's a bad person!
[04:01] Suika
    Wait... But Gen saved us from Magma.
[04:05] Suika
    He's a good person!
[04:07] Senku
    He's neither a good
    person nor a bad person.
[04:10] Kohaku
    He's just a thoroughly
    shallow bat of a man.
[04:12] Senku
    It doesn't matter whether Asagiri Gen
    is a good guy or a bad guy.
[04:16] Senku
    We need him to be on the side
    of the kingdom of science.
[04:19] Senku
    We'll have him make a bogus report to
    Tsukasa, saying "Senku is definitely dead."
[04:25] Senku
    That's the only way we can win.
[04:30] Chrome
    Hear that, Gen?
[04:32] Chrome
    You saw it, didn't you?
[04:33] Chrome
    The electricity?
[04:34] Chrome
    The insane light of science?
[04:37] Chrome
    Who cares about who wins?
[04:39] Chrome
    Who gives a damn about whether
    Tsukasa or Senku has the edge?
[04:43] Chrome
    The kingdom of science
    is just way more fun!
[04:49] Gen
    Gosh, you're so passionate, young man.
[04:53] Gen
    Too bad, though.
[04:54] Gen
    I don't have what you do, Chrome-chan.
[04:57] Gen
    I'm the most superficial man on earth.
[05:00] Gen
    All I care about is whether or
    not something will benefit me.
[05:25] Gen
    What is this, a prank?
[05:28] Gen
    Did my manager not stop them?
[05:30] Gen
    I told them I'm a mentalist,
    so I only work as the prankster.
[05:36] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    It's AD 5739.
[05:40] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    But you're still nineteen years old.
[05:44] (Flashback) Gen
    Huh?
[05:46] (Flashback) Gen
    Aren't you...
SIGN    Mentalist Battle!!
[05:47] (Flashback) Gen
    from the TV special about
    psychological magic?
[05:49] (Flashback) Gen
    You were on screen with me, weren't you?
[05:54] (Flashback) Gen
    Oh, right.
[05:55] (Flashback) Gen
    You're the "strongest primate high-schooler,"
[05:58] (Flashback) Gen
    Shishio Tsukasa-chan!
[06:02] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    I'm gathering here the statues
[06:06] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    of the people who ought to be
    revived first, including you.
[06:22] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    The dusty old people of power aren't
    needed in this beautiful stone world.
[06:29] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Let's make a new world together,
[06:32] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Gen.
[06:35] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    There's something I'd like you
    to do, as a skilled mentalist.
[06:43] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Follow them.
[06:45] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Figure out their psychology.
[06:47] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    I'm just being extra careful,
[06:49] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    but if this man, Senku, is still
    alive, I want you to find him.
[06:54] (Flashback) Gen
    Senku?
[06:55] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Senku was the first one to revive.
[06:58] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    This is where he created a drug to undo the
    petrification using the power of science.
[07:03] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    He's the man who revived me.
[07:06] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    And he was attempting to revive all humans,
[07:10] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    including the tainted old people,
[07:13] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    and start a civilization that
    would create weapons of science.
[07:18] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    The most intelligent man in the world,
[07:20] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    whom I killed with these hands.
[07:48] Gen
    Who... are you?
[07:52] Gen
    Why...
[08:02] Kohaku
    What was that noise?
[08:08] Chrome
    Hey, are you all right, Gen?
[08:09] Kohaku
    It's no use...
[08:10] Kohaku
    He obviously died instantly.
[08:12] Suika
    This is terrible!
[08:14] Senku
    No, hang on.
[08:19] Senku
    He guarded himself with bags of fake blood.
[08:21] Suika
    They're all over him!
[08:23] Chrome
    This is nuts.
[08:25] Chrome
    He covered himself with
    these things, just in case!
[08:30] Senku
    Not bad.
[08:32] Senku
    You're a magician through and through.
[08:38] Kohaku
    He may have blocked it with those
    bags, but he's severely injured.
[08:42] Chrome
    Damn it.
[08:44] Chrome
    We have to catch the attacker!
[08:46] Kohaku
    But who could have done
    such a terrible thing?
[08:54] Suika
    I'm going to go investigate!
[09:16] Suika
    Big news!
[09:18] Suika
    I found out who it was!
[09:21] Senku
    Good going, Great Detective Suika.
[09:25] Suika
    I know who's behind the
    murder of Asagiri Gen!
[09:29] Kohaku
    Uh, he's not dead, you know.
[09:31] Senku
    So who was it?
[09:33] Suika
    It was...
[09:38] (Flashback) Magma
    Now that I've killed the sorcerer,
    I, Magma-sama, am the most powerful!
[09:44] (Flashback) Magma
    Fighting sorcery is no more of a
    challenge than twisting a baby's arm.
[09:49] (Flashback) Mantle
    Yeah! Indeed!
[09:52] (Flashback) Magma
    It's a shame I couldn't kill Kohaku herself.
[09:56] (Flashback) Magma
    She's just too well-prepared.
[09:58] (Flashback) Mantle
    She's way too strong for a woman.
[10:02] (Flashback) Mantle
    It must be sorcery.
[10:06] (Flashback) Magma
    But now that I've gotten rid
    of her powerful sorcerer ally,
[10:10] (Flashback) Magma
    Kohaku is just another girl.
[10:15] (Flashback) Magma
    Though, if she apologizes tearfully,
[10:16] (Flashback) Magma
    I wouldn't mind making her
    mine, along with Ruri.
[10:20] (Flashback) Mantle
    How lucky the siblings are to have
    the privilege of belonging to Magma!
[10:26] Suika
    This is really bad news!
[10:30] Chrome
    Magma did it? That bastard!
[10:33] Kohaku
    I see...
[10:34] Kohaku
    Asagiri Gen made those flowers
    disappear before their eyes.
[10:38] Kohaku
    From Magma's perspective,
[10:40] Kohaku
    Gen is the rumored outsider
    sorcerer that I brought with me.
[10:45] Chrome
    So Magma stabbed Gen because
    he mistook him for Senku?
[10:50] Kohaku
    It's a real insult that Magma believes
    my strength is due to sorcery, though.
[10:55] Chrome
    Well, you have the raw
    power of an actual gorilla.
[10:58] Chrome
    So you're a legit gorilla.
[11:01] Kohaku
    I'm sorry.
[11:03] Senku
    So why is Magma looking for an
    opportunity to kill you, Kohaku?
[11:10] Kohaku
    Probably... no, definitely because of...
[11:13] Kohaku
    the Grand Bout.
[11:16] Kohaku
    Once every generation,
[11:17] Kohaku
    the village holds a large martial arts
     battle called the Grand Bout.
[11:23] Senku
    So that's what that arena-looking
    thing on the far island is for.
[11:27] Kohaku
    Several months ago,
[11:29] Kohaku
    on the day that the village priestess,
    Ruri-nee, came of age...
[11:37] Kohaku
    The winner of the Grand Bout was to
    wed her and become the village elder.
[11:42] Kohaku
    That's also how my father became
    the current village elder.
[11:51] (Flashback) Ref
    The winner is Magma.
[11:53] (Flashback) Guy
    On to the finals!
[11:55] (Flashback) Carbo
    Damn, Magma's unstoppable.
[11:58] (Flashback) Mantle
    Yeah!
[12:00] (Flashback) Jasper
    Ruri!
[12:03] (Flashback) Chrome
    Hey, are you all right, Ruri?
[12:05] (Flashback) Turquoise
    Hold it.
[12:06] (Flashback) Turquoise
    Don't just approach the priestess so casually.
[12:16] (Flashback) Magma
    Ruri, huh?
[12:18] (Flashback) Magma
    Well, she's got a year at most.
[12:20] (Flashback) Magma
    I don't want to take care of her.
[12:22] (Flashback) Magma
    If she'd just go ahead and croak,
[12:24] (Flashback) Magma
    I could take the elder's seat
    without all the trouble.
[12:27] (Flashback) Magma
    Maybe I ought to make it
[12:29] (Flashback) Magma
    look like she drowned herself
    out of despair in her sickness.
[12:39] (Flashback) Magma
    Mercy!
[12:40] (Flashback) Magma
    The winner of the Grand Bout is Kohaku.
[12:43] (Flashback) Kohaku
    Magma, I cannot allow a man
    like you to have Ruri-nee.
[12:49] Magma
    Kohaku... This kid...
[12:51] Magma
    She joined the Grand Bout just to stop me!
[12:55] (Flashback) Suika
    Wait, what happens now?
[12:57] (Flashback) Suika
    The rules say the winner is
    supposed to marry Ruri-nee, so...
[13:02] (Flashback) Ginro
    Ruri-chan and Kohaku-chan
    are going to get married?!
[13:07] (Flashback) Ginro
    It's forbidden love!
[13:10] (Flashback) Turquoise
    Obviously not.
[13:10] (Flashback) Ginro
    Ouchie!
[13:12] (Flashback) Turquoise
    Jeez, what do we do now?
[13:14] (Flashback) Turquoise
    Who's going to marry Ruri-sama?
[13:18] Senku
    Is that why your old man,
    the elder, disowned you?
[13:22] Kohaku
    No... well, that was the last straw, but...
[13:26] Chrome
    Kohaku has caused a ton of
    trouble ever since she was little.
[13:31] Kohaku
    Of course, the Grand Bout
    is set to be redone.
[13:33] Kohaku
    It's going to be held next month.
[13:35] Chrome
    Are you saying Magma killed
    Gen to win the Grand Bout?
[13:41] Suika
    So Gen really is dead?!
[13:43] Kohaku
    No, he's not dead.
[13:45] Chrome
    Wouldn't it be really bad news if
    a guy like him became the elder?
[13:49] Senku
    Yeah.
[13:50] Senku
    If Magma were to become the elder,
[13:53] Senku
    it might be hard to even
    get the medicine to Ruri.
[13:58] Kohaku
    It's also an opportunity.
[14:00] Kohaku
    If a man from the kingdom of science
    defeats Magma and wins the Grand Bout,
[14:04] Kohaku
    marries Ruri-nee, and becomes
    the elder, it'll solve everything.
[14:08] Kohaku
    Rounding up citizens for
    the kingdom of science
[14:10] Kohaku
    and giving Ruri-nee the cure-all
    medicine would be easy.
[14:16] Kohaku
    Kinro, Ginro,
[14:18] Kohaku
    there's something I want to ask you.
[14:21] Kohaku
    How do you view Ruri-nee?
[14:25] Kohaku
    Would you like to take her as your wife?
[14:28] Ginro
    I-I've never even thought about it.
[14:31] Ginro
    But Ruri-chan—
[14:32] Ginro
    Ruri-sama is pretty, and I mean...
    her face is almost the same as yours, but...
[14:39] Ginro
    But she's busty— I mean,
    she's really graceful and cute,
[14:41] Ginro
    and she has big, round eyes...
[14:43] Kinro
    All you've talked about is about her face.
[14:45] Kinro
    Do you only ever look at a girl's appearance?
[14:47] Kinro
    You're utterly shallow, Ginro.
[14:50] Ginro
    C-Come on, I said she's bus—
    she's bu— she's graceful!
[14:55] Kinro
    My answer is simple.
[14:57] Kinro
    The gatekeeper doesn't ask questions.
[14:59] Kinro
    Rules are rules.
[15:01] Kinro
    But listening to one murmur to
    themselves is not against the rules.
[15:07] Kinro
    I already understand that Senku isn't evil.
[15:13] Kinro
    You can skip the explanation, as usual.
[15:16] Kinro
    What's your objective?
[15:23] Kohaku
    I want to save my sister's life.
[15:35] Kohaku
    All right.
[15:37] Ginro
    You don't need to explain further.
[15:40] Kohaku
    Too shallow!
[15:41] Kohaku
    Do you really think you can
    defeat Magma like that?
[15:45] Ginro
    Let's take a break!
[15:48] Kinro
    No!
[15:48] Kinro
    Finish three more sets first!
[15:50] Kohaku
    Hold it!
[15:58] Kohaku
    Chrome.
[16:00] Kohaku
    I'd really prefer to train
    you more than anyone.
[16:03] Kohaku
    But Kinro and Ginro are the only ones
    who have a chance of defeating Magma.
[16:09] Kohaku
    I'm sorry.
[16:11] Senku
    Yo, Chrome, she's being all
    "sorry, sorry!" about our plan
[16:15] Senku
    to get Kinro or Ginro to marry Ruri
[16:17] Senku
    because you're in love with her.
[16:19] Kohaku
    You're as brutal as ever.
[16:27] (Flashback) Chrome
    This place is amazing!
[16:30] (Flashback) Chrome
    Hey, Ruri!
[16:33] (Flashback) Ruri
    I'm okay.
[16:34] (Flashback) Chrome
    Is it the usual thing again?
[16:38] (Flashback) Ruri
    Chrome, they told me I'm
    not going to get better.
[16:43] (Flashback) Ruri
    I'm not going to live to become an adult.
[16:46] (Flashback) Chrome
    I'll take care of it, Ruri.
[16:48] (Flashback) Chrome
    I'll look for whatever I can.
[16:50] (Flashback) Chrome
    I promise I'll cure you someday!
[16:59] Chrome
    Yeah.
[17:00] Chrome
    I'm totally cool with that.
[17:04] Chrome
    I can ask for nothing more than the cure-all
[17:07] Chrome
    science drug to save Ruri
    so she can live a good life.
[17:11] Chrome
    I'm the genius sciencer, after all.
[17:17] Senku
    Job-changing from a sorcerer
    to a sciencer, huh?
[17:20] Chrome
    Yeah. I'm not calling myself
    a sorcerer anymore.
[17:23] Senku
    Let's let the battle team
    deal with the Grand Bout
[17:26] Senku
    while we, the science team,
    focus on making the sulfa drug.
[17:30] Chrome
    Heck yeah!
[17:38] Kohaku
    I plan on participating in the Grand Bout.
[17:41] Kohaku
    The kingdom of science team,
    with Kinro, Ginro and me,
[17:44] Kohaku
    will do whatever it takes
    to stop Magma's victory.
[17:47] Chrome
    Yeah.
[17:50] Chrome
    Hey, Gen, are you all right?
[17:52] Kohaku
    His recovery is going to take
    a long time at this rate.
[17:56] Chrome
    Which means...
[17:57] Senku
    Yeah.
[17:59] Senku
    We have a short time limit before
    Tsukasa comes to kill me.
[18:39] Ginro
    I'm still sleepy!
[18:42] Kinro
    Wake up, Ginro.
[18:44] Kinro
    You just agreed to do morning training
    until we rotate on our guard duty.
[18:47] Chrome
    Oh, no!
[18:49] Chrome
    Gen's vanished!
[18:56] Senku
    Yeah, I'm sure he went back to Tsukasa.
[19:01] Chrome
    But why would he sneak out like that?
[19:03] Kohaku
    That bat bastard better not intend
    to tell Tsukasa that Senku's alive.
[19:09] Chrome
    This is bad, Senku.
[19:10] Chrome
    We have to go after him.
[19:32] Gen
    Wait, Tsukasa-chan! It's me!
[19:37] Gen
    Tsukasa-chan!
[19:38] Gen
    I found a primitive village.
[19:41] Gen
    I got in a fight with them and
    ended up just slightly injured.
[19:50] Gen
    And Senku-chan was...
[19:54] Kohaku
    We have to catch the bat bastard, quick.
[19:58] Senku
    Hold it!
[20:03] Kohaku
    Why are you stopping me, Senku?
[20:05] Kohaku
    We have to catch the bat bastard!
[20:08] Senku
    We can leave him be.
[20:11] Senku
    If Gen really didn't have a
    millimeter of interest in science,
[20:16] Senku
    he never would have cooperated to begin with.
[20:20] Senku
    He'd already made up his mind on whose
    side he was on when I made electricity.
[20:27] Senku
    But as a superficial man, he has
    his superficial ways of saving face.
[20:34] Kohaku
    Men are such a pain in the ass,
[20:37] Kohaku
    in any era.
[20:40] (Flashback) Gen
    This is making me thirsty for a drink.
[20:45] (Flashback) Gen
    Like, say, cola.
[20:47] (Flashback) Gen
    Can you make it in this
    stone world, Senku-chan?
[20:54] (Flashback) Gen
    Can you make a bottle of cola?
[21:01] (Flashback) Senku
    Yeah, I can.
[21:03] (Flashback) Senku
    Even if no one else can.
[21:12] Gen
    Senku-chan... was gone without a trace.
[21:19] Gen
    He's dead, without a doubt.
[21:24] Chrome
    So Gen's joining the kingdom of science?
[21:26] Senku
    Yeah.
[21:27] Senku
    I'm sure he'll wander back
    like nothing happened.
[21:31] Kohaku
    Looks like the first battle between the
    Tsukasa Empire and the kingdom of science,
[21:34] Kohaku
    the fight for Asagiri Gen, ends in
    victory for the kingdom of science.
[21:38] Suika
    Gen is a good person after all!
[21:41] Chrome
    Yeah!
[21:43] Senku
    It's the world's flimsiest alliance,
    bound by a single bottle of cola.
[21:50] Gen
    Man, this really isn't worth it.
[21:54] Gen
    All for a single bottle of cola...
[21:57] Gen
    I hope it's super well-cooled, at least.
[22:02] Senku
    All right, damn it.
[22:04] Senku
    I'll have to apply science to
    make Gen a ridiculously chilled
[22:07] Senku
    bottle of cola in time for when he gets back.
