**[00:10] Kohaku**
*I've seen it now.*
**[00:11] Kohaku**
* With my superior eyesight...*
* I've seen what the Medusa truly is.*
**[00:16] Kohaku**
*Senku, you were right.*
**[00:19] Kohaku**
* It isn't any kind of curse or*
* demonic device devoid of rules.*
**[00:24] Kohaku**
*The petrification weapon, the Medusa...*
**[00:28] Kohaku**
*is science.*
**[00:35] Kohaku**
*It's up to you now, Amaryllis.*
**[00:36] Kohaku**
*Tell Senku and the others.*
**[00:39] Kohaku**
* Tell them all the secrets that*
* the infiltration team has found.*
**[00:44] (Flashback) Senku**
So long as we're fighting
with science, we're ahead.
**[00:49] Kohaku**
All that's left now is to trust
science and the others, and wait.
**[00:54] Ginro**
Yeah.
**[00:56] Ginro**
Everything's gonna be fine.

Taiju-kun!
**[03:03] Taiju**
No! Just a handshake!
**[03:04] Taiju**
Gotta be respectful, even with close friends!
**[03:09] Senku**
What are you, a hover-handing
middle school kid?
**[03:15] Soyuz**
I wonder if this is part of Chrome.
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 160 0 l 160 80 l 0 80
***SIGN*** Chrome is
revived!!
**[03:24] Gen**
She's crazy good at this.
**[03:26] Gen**
Her memory and crafts club experience makes
her even faster with the jigsaw puzzle.
**[03:32] Chrome**
Oh, man! That was my first time
experiencing petrification!
**[03:36] Chrome**
So that's what it's like!
**[03:38] Gen**
Same reaction as Kaseki-chan.
**[03:42] Kaseki**
Birds of a feather!
**[03:44] Kaseki**
Chrome and I are the builder duo.
**[03:48] Kaseki**
So anyway...
**[03:49] Kaseki**
Now that you're awake,
**[03:50] Kaseki**
I'm gonna need you to get right
back to building stuff with me.
**[03:54] Gen**
Oh, shit!
**[03:55] Senku**
We're all set for the drone-building team now.
**[03:58] Ryusui**
This marks the beginning of
our three-dimensional war.
**[04:03] Ryusui**
Which means...
**[04:05] Ryusui**
We need our 3D specialist!
**[04:07] Ryusui**
Am I right?
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 160 0 l 160 80 l 0 80
***SIGN*** Ukyo is
revived!!
**[04:20] Ukyo**
I see.
**[04:21] Ukyo**
What we really want now is information, then.
**[04:24] Ukyo**
On the enemy.
**[04:26] Ryusui**
Of course you would say that,
former sonar operator.
**[04:31] Senku**
We've got you covered.
Kohaku and her team's in the enem—
**[04:34] Ukyo**
Hold it.
**[04:38] Ukyo**
Someone's coming.
**[04:41] Ukyo**
They're swimming through the water.
**[04:50] Gen**
Amaryllis-chan!
**[04:52] Amaryllis**
Everyone...
**[04:53] Amaryllis**
It's Kohaku-chan and...
**[04:55] Amaryllis**
Kohaku-chan and Ginro!
**[05:36] Suika**
So Soyuz was part of the Master's family?
**[05:45] Ryusui**
Though it's only by Ginro's
estimation that you look alike.
**[05:49] Senku**
Yeah, there's no point in
speculating about that now.
**[05:54] Senku**
What I want to know is the enemy's
capabilities and internal affairs.
**[06:01] Senku**
We'll use our intellect to make the most
of the little bits of information we have.
**[06:06] Ryusui**
Leave that to me!
**[06:07] Chrome**
I got this!
**[06:09] Ukyo**
Good. Let's start by organizing our information.
**[06:12] Gen**
Man, the Kingdom of Science
is finally back together.
**[06:16] Suika**
This is awesome!
**[06:18] Suika**
Now that I look at it, it's that
team Kohaku was talking about...
**[06:22] Suika**
The five cleverest people in the kingdom.
**[06:26] Taiju**
It's a meeting of the
Kingdom of Science brass!
**[06:30] Senku**
Good job, Amaryllis.
**[06:32] Senku**
You and the spy team put in some nice work.
**[06:35] Senku**
You've leaked a top secret to us.
**[06:39] Senku**
The enemy's only got one
petrification weapon.
**[06:47] Ryusui**
I see. That's critical information.
**[06:50] Gen**
Indeed.
**[06:52] Gen**
Put yourself in Ibara-chan's shoes.
**[06:55] Ukyo**
Well, it's not for certain,
but we do need a working hypothesis.
**[06:58] Chrome**
Hang on, what's this
"oh, yeah, I totally get it" vibe?
**[07:04] Chrome**
I don't get it!
**[07:06] Amaryllis**
How can you know from
what I just told you?
**[07:09] Taiju**
Senku says so, so it must be true.
**[07:12] Yuzuriha**
That's an optimistic resignation.
**[07:14] Ryusui**
No, you lot need to hear this, too.
**[07:18] Ryusui**
This is a painstaking puzzle made up
of bits of unrelated information.
**[07:22] Ryusui**
You saw how fast Soyuz and Yuzuriha were
**[07:26] Ryusui**
at putting it together
when they worked together.
**[07:28] Ryusui**
We may, for example,
**[07:31] Ryusui**
need Chrome's power of intuition.
**[07:35] Chrome**
You stuck-up prick.
**[07:38] Chrome**
All right! I'll do it.
**[07:43] Senku**
First, the Master doesn't
have a petrification weapon.
**[07:46] Chrome**
Well, yeah, he's petrified.
**[07:49] Chrome**
Doesn't Ibara have it, though?
He runs the show.
**[07:52] Amaryllis**
Yeah.
**[07:53] Amaryllis**
Ibara is very cautious.
**[07:55] Amaryllis**
He must have one.
**[07:57] Gen**
That's where the trick is.
**[07:59] Gen**
Ibara-chan's the type who has insurance
policy upon insurance policy.
**[08:03] Gen**
If there's another petrification
weapon, he'd be the one to have it.
**[08:07] Gen**
He was in a hurry to petrify the intruders.
**[08:11] Gen**
Why didn't he have his own ready to go?
**[08:16] Amaryllis**
You're right.
**[08:18] Amaryllis**
I'm amazed you picked that
up from such a little hint.
**[08:21] Ryusui**
In other words, there's only
one petrification weapon.
**[08:25] Taiju**
That was complicated, but I
understand the conclusion!
**[08:28] Senku**
The thrower's at risk of being petrified, too.
**[08:31] Senku**
Ibara-sama, being as cautious as
he is, lets Kirisame do it instead.
**[08:35] Chrome**
Wh-What a nasty old man!
**[08:39] Ukyo**
There's one important
thing I want to confirm.
**[08:43] Ukyo**
Amaryllis.
**[08:45] Ukyo**
About the third dimension.
**[08:47] Ukyo**
You said the petrification weapon Kirisame
threw created a blast from above, right?
**[08:53] Amaryllis**
That's right.
**[08:55] Gen**
I see...
**[08:57] Gen**
If Kirisame-chan had to avoid
the Master when she threw it...
**[09:03] Senku**
That's a stupidly important
piece of information, too.
**[09:08] Senku**
Kirisame doesn't know the Master is a statue.
**[09:14] Moz**
You're right, but...
**[09:16] Moz**
How did you find out?
**[09:18] Moz**
I'm impressed.
**[09:19] Amaryllis**
*Moz!*
**[09:20] Ukyo**
*I didn't notice him even with my hearing!*
**[09:27] Yuzuriha**
Taiju-kun!
**[09:33] Moz**
You've got some endurance.
**[09:37] Moz**
But that's only going to buy you some time.
**[09:42] Moz**
What are you going to do now?
**[09:46] Senku**
*Yeah, buying some time.*
**[09:48] Senku**
*That's what we need the most.*
**[09:50] Senku**
* Get your head in full gear with*
* the few seconds Taiju gave you!*
**[09:54] Ryusui**
*I know because I'm hungry for people's power.*
**[09:58] Ryusui**
*Going all-in against him won't change a thing.*
**[10:02] Gen**
*This is bad.*
**[10:04] Gen**
*We're pretty screwed.*
**[10:05] Gen**
*Is there really a way out of this?*
**[10:07] Ukyo**
*I need to get at least one of us out alive.*
**[10:11] Amaryllis**
I'm sorry...
**[10:13] Amaryllis**
I must have been followed.
**[10:19] Chrome**
* I've always been a scavenger,*
* ever since I was a kid.*
**[10:22] Chrome**
*I know better than anyone*
**[10:24] Chrome**
* how much of a pain in the ass it*
* is to look for stuff in the dark.*
**[10:30] Chrome**
* He followed Amaryllis after she put*
* herself through so much to escape...*
**[10:34] Chrome**
*And he didn't kill her?*
**[10:37] Chrome**
That bastard Moz...
**[10:39] Chrome**
He must have known Amaryllis's
group were intruders.
**[10:43] Gen**
Wait, why are you stating the
obvious now, Chrome-chan?
**[10:47] Gen**
He obviously knew.
**[10:48] Gen**
Kohaku-chan was already outed,
so everyone with her had to be...
**[10:54] Ukyo**
*That's it! That means...*
**[10:56] Ryusui**
*He knew Ginro was an intruder, too!*
**[10:59] Senku**
* That's some huge information*
* to keep from Ibara.*
**[11:05] Senku**
* Ibara and an intruder were facing off*
* one-on-one, and Moz just sat there watching.*
**[11:13] Senku**
*Which means Moz doesn't mind if Ibara dies.*
**[11:17] Senku**
*Or he even plans to kill him.*
**[11:22] Senku**
All the puzzle pieces are coming
together in this knowledge battle.
**[11:28] Senku**
I see the whole state of
the Petrification Kingdom.
**[11:31] Gen**
We have a shot at tearing them down, then.
**[11:34] Gen**
Who's...
**[11:42] Gen**
Of course.
**[11:47] Gen**
Heya...
**[11:50] Gen**
Just give us...
**[11:52] Gen**
Just give us a second, Moz-chan.
**[11:56] Gen**
I've got a good offer for you.
**[11:59] Gen**
How about you and we,
the Kingdom of Science, join forces?
**[12:05] Gen**
Wouldn't that be exhilarating?
**[12:28] Gen**
What do you think of our bird of witchcraft?
**[12:32] Gen**
We can fly this thing however we want.
**[12:35] Gen**
We can grab Kirisame-chan's petrification
weapon in the air, no problem!
**[12:41] Senku**
"However we want" is a
bit of an overstatement.
**[12:43] Senku**
It's not even stable yet.
It's just an electric bamboo copter.
**[12:47] Gen**
Don't worry about it, Senku-chan.
**[12:50] Gen**
* You pretend your weak card is*
* actually your ace of spades.*
**[12:53] Gen**
* That's the first move in any*
* negotiation, in any deal making.*
**[12:58] Ukyo**
*If we fought Moz, we'd all die.*
**[13:03] Ryusui**
*Think about it another way!*
**[13:05] Ryusui**
* This is an opportunity to negotiate with*
* the strongest man and get him on our side!*
**[13:10] Senku**
*Everything's riding on your flimsy word.*
**[13:13] Chrome**
*Shit! Please, Gen!*
**[13:17] Gen**
If you and I, sorcerers, team up,
**[13:20] Gen**
we could end up taking over this island
and the inner palace for ourselves!
**[13:21] Suika**
*When did Gen get over there?!*
**[13:25] Gen**
Don't you think?
***SIGN*** Mentalist Gen's
***SIGN*** Manipulation Techniques
**[13:29] Gen**
Mentalist Gen's manipulation techniques!
**[13:33] Gen**
This one's pretty famous.
**[13:36] Gen**
People feel more solidarity with you if
you're next to them, not opposite them.
**[13:41] Gen**
That's why they tell you to take
a counter seat instead of a table.
**[13:46] Senku**
* So the first move of having*
* him look up at the drone*
**[13:49] Senku**
* segues naturally into his next*
* move of standing next to him.*
**[13:54] Senku**
*Not bad, mentalist.*
**[13:57] Gen**
I mean, you're so strong, Moz-chan.
**[14:02] Gen**
If Ibara-chan and all those
other soldiers are a hundred,
**[14:06] Gen**
you're probably a hundred fifty.
**[14:11] Amaryllis**
*No, he's way more than that!*
**[14:16] Moz**
Maybe a little more than that.
***SIGN*** Mentalist Gen's
***SIGN*** Manipulation Techniques
**[14:21] Gen**
Mentalist Gen's manipulation techniques!
**[14:24] Gen**
Number two!
**[14:26] Gen**
Try saying something that's
a little bit off-the-mark.
**[14:30] Gen**
The urge to correct you will
be so strong that they might
**[14:34] Gen**
sign on to something they never intended to.
**[14:38] Ryusui**
*In reality, they're probably worlds apart.*
**[14:42] Ryusui**
*I want him!*
**[14:43] Gen**
Wow!
**[14:44] Gen**
If you're really that strong, you could
take Ibara-chan out easy, right?
**[14:52] Gen**
* Although I kinda get the sense*
* that he's seeing right through me.*
**[14:59] Moz**
Kill all of you, or kill Ibara...
**[15:06] Moz**
What to do?
**[15:10] Moz**
Well, if I'm going to kill all of you,
there's no harm in telling you.
**[15:18] Moz**
I'm sure you've figured out by now that
the one who petrified the Master...
**[15:25] Moz**
was Ibara.
**[15:28] Moz**
He's already done plenty of work.
**[15:30] Moz**
Good job, I suppose.
**[15:31] Moz**
It's about time that old fogy croaks, right?
**[15:34] Moz**
The girls would probably appreciate it
if I made it my own inner palace, too.
**[15:41] Senku**
Why not go ahead and kill him, then?
**[15:45] Moz**
I would have done it long ago if
not for the petrification beam.
**[15:49] Moz**
Kirisame-chan, who's handling the
petrification weapon, is pretty strong.
**[15:54] Moz**
I'd win in a normal fight, but one shot from
her unavoidable beam, and I'm done for.
**[16:01] Ukyo**
In other words, if you attack Minister Ibara,
**[16:05] Ukyo**
Kirisame, who doesn't know what's going on,
would use her petrification beam on you.
**[16:09] Ukyo**
But if you exposed him,
you'd lose access to the inner palace.
**[16:16] Gen**
You've got yourselves
in a three-way deadlock.
**[16:20] Ryusui**
Ibara's got a good thing going for himself.
**[16:23] Ryusui**
He's not your regular old fart.
**[16:25] Taiju**
I-I'm starting to have a hard time keeping up.
**[16:30] Senku**
To put it simply enough for
a meathead to understand...
**[16:34] Senku**
Moz, you want the petrification beam gone.
**[16:38] Senku**
We want the petrification beam ourselves.
**[16:41] Senku**
Our interests are ten
billion percent aligned.
**[16:48] Gen**
Bingo!
**[16:49] Gen**
It's the petrification weapon we want!
**[16:51] Gen**
A negotiation's gotta be
on even footing, right?
**[16:54] Gen**
Why don't you take over the island and
have the inner palace for yourself?
**[16:58] Gen**
We'll help with our sorcery,
but only on one condition.
**[17:03] Gen**
You have to give us the petrification
weapon. No exceptions.
**[17:07] Gen**
That's one thing that has
to be absolute, Moz-chan!
**[17:11] Amaryllis**
*The way he says it...*
**[17:13] Ukyo**
*He's so skeevy.*
**[17:14] Chrome**
* I have a feeling this is going*
* to make him more stubborn.*
**[17:18] Moz**
Even footing?
**[17:22] Moz**
I don't need to uphold any conditions, do I?
**[17:25] Moz**
I've got the upper hand in combat.
**[17:29] Moz**
You'll use your sorcery for my sake.
**[17:32] Moz**
And you'll give me the petrification weapon.
**[17:38] Gen**
That's awful, though!
**[17:39] Gen**
Hang on a minute, Moz-chan! Even footing!
**[17:41] All**
*I knew it!*
**[17:45] Moz**
I'll keep your hideout a secret.
**[17:48] Moz**
Your only choice is to do as I say.

Mentalist Gen's manipulation techniques!
**[18:05] Gen**
Number three!
**[18:06] Gen**
It's called psychological reactance.
**[18:09] Gen**
When you feel like you're
being forced to do things,
**[18:12] Gen**
your need to maintain control
causes you to reject things.
**[18:18] Ukyo**
I see!
**[18:19] Ukyo**
Gen's doing this on purpose!
**[18:21] Ukyo**
Think about it.
**[18:22] Ukyo**
The conversation's shifted.
**[18:24] Senku**
You're right.
**[18:27] Senku**
The conversation was originally whether
he was going to kill us all or not.
**[18:33] Senku**
Psychological reactance has him refusing
to do as this sleazy man wants.
**[18:38] Senku**
We're suddenly talking
about working together.
**[18:44] Gen**
The way to win a deal isn't to make
the other person feel defeated.
**[18:48] Gen**
It's to show servitude, setting out a
false red carpet for them and stuff.
**[18:53] Gen**
That's what really matters.
**[19:04] Moz**
This is the earring Kohaku-chan
was wearing, is it not?
**[19:10] Senku**
Kingdom of Sorcery headquarters here.
**[19:25] Gen**
He's gone, right?
**[19:27] Suika**
He's gone.
**[19:36] Senku**
Good going, mentalist!
**[19:41] Gen**
Thank you, thank you.
**[19:43] Ryusui**
But that means we've got the ultimate power!
**[19:47] Ryusui**
Am I right?
**[19:49] Senku**
Although he's probably ten billion percent
set on killing all of us once we're done.
**[19:54] Chrome**
We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.
**[19:59] Gen**
But can I just take a break for now?
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 136 0 l 136 80 l 0 80
***SIGN*** Moz joined the
party (for now)!!
**[20:44] Senku**
You hearing me, Moz-sensei?
**[20:47] Senku**
Follow my directions.
**[20:50] Senku**
*You'll find treasure at the destination.*
**[20:55] Senku**
It's a super valuable gift we
made for you using sorcery.
**[21:02] Senku**
We, Kingdom of Science members,
are totally outnumbered.
**[21:07] Senku**
If they came at us with brute force,
we'd be screwed instantly.
**[21:13] Senku**
So we need your strength to make
them believe we're tough as hell.
**[21:20] Gen**
We need to force them to bring
out the petrification weapon.
**[21:26] Moz**
In other words...
**[21:31] Moz**
A night raid, pretending to be an intruder.
**[21:50] Senku**
Don't kill him!
**[21:51] Gen**
Yeah! That's it! Get' em!
**[21:51] Senku**
Let him tell them how strong the enemy is!
**[21:54] Ukyo**
He always gets way too excited
when it comes to his plots.
**[22:02] Moz**
I'm already on it.
**[22:05] Moz**
Oh, right. You can't hear me.
**[22:11] Moz**
Sorcery can be pretty inconvenient.
