[00:08] Gen
    I'll leave the village for now.
[00:11] Gen
    You wouldn't want to have
    to deal with an outsider
[00:13] Gen
    who isn't even a contestant,
    right, Kinro-chan the guard?
[00:17] Gen
    We can talk about your end of our deal
[00:19] Gen
    after you've captured
    the village, Senku-chan.
[00:24] Senku
    Sure.
[00:28] Ruri
    Chrome...
[00:31] Ginro
    Ruri-ch—
[00:32] Ginro
    Priestess, you're going to
    have to marry the winner, huh?
[00:36] Ginro
    Don't worry.
[00:37] Ginro
    Now it's just up to me or
    Senku to give up the victory.
[00:42] Ginro
    The winner is going to be Chrome.
[00:44] Ginro
    I can tell, you know.
[00:47] Ginro
    You really wanted Chrome
    to win, didn't you?
[00:53] Chrome
    Ow, ow, ow!
[00:53] Senku
    Good job figuring out the difference
    between convex and concave, Chrome.
[00:58] Ruri
    No, as the priestess,
    I have no such thoughts.
[01:03] Ruri
    I'm only a servant of the gods.
[01:05] Ruri
    I will marry the winner of the Grand Bout.
[01:09] Ginro
    Really?
[01:11] Ginro
    Huh, I always thought...
[01:13] Ginro
    Wait a second... Does that mean
    you don't really care who wins?!
[01:16] Ruri
    Huh?
[01:18] Ruri
    Well...
[01:19] Ruri
    That's right.
[01:20] Jasper
    Try to read between the
    lines a little, Ginro.
[01:24] Jasper
    What else is Ruri-sama supposed to say?
SIGN    Village Chief
[01:28] ---
    Village chief...
[01:30] ---
    Ginro!
SIGN    Scumbag
[01:35] Jasper
    Match two of the semi-finals will now begin.
[01:38] Jasper
    Senku versus Ginro.
[01:40] Jasper
    Both contestants, forward.
[01:44] Senku
    What the hell's gotten into you, Ginro?!
[01:46] Ginro
    I mean...
[01:48] Ginro
    Ruri-chan said she'll marry anyone!
[01:51] Ginro
    So maybe I have a shot at
    being village chief, too!
[01:54] Ginro
    Maybe it's finally my time to shine!
[01:58] Kinro
    G-Ginro, you...
[02:00] Kohaku
    He's way too scummy.
[02:02] Ginro
    If I become the chief,
    I'll get to have ramen every day!
[02:08] Ginro
    And a harem!
[02:09] Ginro
    I'm going to turn it into
    a super awesome village!
[02:18] Garnet
    I think he's...
[02:20] Ganen
    Ginro... Anyone but you.
[02:24] Ganen
    We can't let him become the village chief.
[02:27] Kohaku
    We have to take down that scum now!
[02:30] Kohaku
    But Senku doesn't stand a chance.
[02:37] Chrome
    Senku...
[02:40] Chrome
    Our weapon is science, is it not?
[02:51] Senku
    I guess I don't have a choice.
[02:54] Ginro
    You're about to use some
    crazy sorcery, aren't you?
[02:57] Ginro
    No you don't!
[03:07] Kokuyo
    That man is smart. Senku, was it?
[03:16] Jasper
    Winner: Senku!
[03:17] Audience A
    Ginro's down!
[03:19] Audience B
    Senku's going to the finals!
[03:21] Suika
    The whole village has come together!
[03:24] Chrome
    Yeah.
[03:26] Chrome
    Now we can turn the village
    into a kingdom of science...
[03:30] Chrome
    And we can save... Ruri...
[03:40] Senku
    All right, it's the final now.
[03:43] Senku
    Now I just need to lose on purpose,
[03:46] Senku
    and Chrome, you'll marry Ruri
    and become the village chief.
[03:51] Senku
    Happily ever afters all around!
[03:54] Senku
    Get up and...
[04:02] Suika
    Um, he's conked out.
[04:06] Kohaku
    He must be mighty relieved to know
    that Ruri-nee's going to be all right.
[04:13] Kohaku
    Eh?
[04:15] Turquoise
    Does that mean...
[04:16] Ganen
    What happens now?
[04:18] Suika
    Does that mean the final...
[04:26] Jasper
    The new village chief,
    the husband of the priestess...
[04:31] Jasper
    is the winner of the Grand Bout, Senku!
SIGN    Position of village chief and marriage partner acquired!!
SIGN    The Culmination of Two Million Years
[06:17] Jasper
    S-So...
[06:19] ---
    What now?
[06:21] Senku
    Well, this is a pain in the ass.
[06:25] Senku
    So I just have to marry Ruri,
    and the whole village is mine, right?
[06:32] Senku
    I'll do it, then.
[06:34] Suika
    Senku's married!
[06:36] Kohaku
    Hold it, Senku! Where do you even come from?
[06:40] Kohaku
    I won't allow an outsider
    to become the chief!
[06:42] Senku
    Well, well, if it isn't
    the former village chief.
[06:46] Senku
    I don't have a millimeter of
    interest in your lack of approval.
[06:52] Audience A
    Who are we supposed to side with?
[06:54] Turquoise
    With Kokuyo-sama, obviously!
[06:56] Turquoise
    What are you, mental?!
[06:58] Garnet
    But he won in front of the
    gods, fair and square.
[07:02] Sapphire
    And he's married to the priestess, too.
[07:05] Senku
    Whatever. A win is a win.
[07:07] Senku
    Wine! Bring me wine!
[07:10] Kohaku
    That's too blunt!
[07:11] Kaseki
    You sound like one of those people!
[07:20] Shou
    This barrel's no good.
[07:22] Shou
    It's turned into vinegar.
[07:24] Senku
    Don't chuck it! We need that, too!
[07:29] Kohaku
    Ruri-nee!
[07:30] Kokuyo
    Ruri!
[07:33] Ruri
    I'm fine.
[07:34] Senku
    She's definitely out of time.
[07:39] Senku
    We just finished the Bout,
    and I don't even have time to rest.
[07:44] Senku
    Let's head back and
    finish the sulfa drug—
[07:46] Genbu
    Hold it!
[07:47] Genbu
    Where do you think you're going?
    You're the guest of honor.
[07:50] Unmo
    Come on, have a drink.
[07:52] Genbu
    We're drinking through the night
    to celebrate. It's tradition.
[07:56] Senku
    Oh, really?
[08:01] Senku
    I'm divorcing, then.
[08:04] Suika
    Senku got divorced!
[08:08] Senku
    I got a ton of alcohol and vinegar!
[08:11] Senku
    Let's haul ass,
    citizens of the kingdom of science!
[08:14] Kaseki
    Since when am I a citizen
    of the kingdom of science?
[08:18] Kohaku
    Sorry, Ruri-nee! I'll explain later!
[08:23] Jasper
    That man is utterly insane.
[08:27] Ruri
    I'm a little confused, but it seems I've
    become the first divorced priestess ever.
[08:35] Ruri
    Right, Chrome?
[08:40] Kokuyo
    This is bullshit!
[08:43] Kokuyo
    Capture that man!
[08:45] Kinro
    Senku is not evil.
[08:48] Kinro
    Please let him explain for himself
[08:51] Kinro
    what the sorcerers—I mean, science users—
[08:54] Kinro
    have been risking their lives
    to do for the past half year.
[08:58] Kinro
    What I've seen them do.
[09:06] Kohaku
    What's this?
[09:07] Suika
    The river water is making
    the bamboo spin around.
[09:12] Kaseki
    I nailed it on my first attempt.
[09:14] Kaseki
    Go, me!
[09:15] Kaseki
    You can fall in love with
    me if you want, girls.
[09:17] Senku
    Not bad.
[09:19] Senku
    I usually botch my first few
    attempts at building anything.
[09:22] Kaseki
    Senku, you don't need
    to fall in love with me.
[09:25] Gen
    So what does this let us make?
[09:28] Kaseki
    That's the thing.
[09:30] Kaseki
    I have no idea.
[09:33] Senku
    You'll find out tomorrow.
[09:35] Kaseki
    I'll keep an eye on it for a while.
[09:38] Kaseki
    I'd cry if my child were to be
    destroyed by driftwood or something.
[09:44] Kaseki
    You!
[09:45] Kaseki
    Are you going to leave a weak
    old man to stand guard by himself?!
[09:48] Kaseki
    Stay and help. I'm sure you
    have nothing better to do!
[09:52] Gen
    Give me a break, grampa!
[09:56] Gen
    Uh, sure. Yes. I'll help you.
[10:00] Gen
    Weak old man?!
[10:13] Senku
    Wake up and smell the ammonia.
[10:16] Senku
    Get up and help out, science team!
[10:20] Senku
    Now we just need to put it
    together, and we're done.
[10:23] Senku
    We're going to finish the ultimate
    cure-all sulfa drug by tomorrow.
[10:27] Chrome
    Tomorrow?!
SIGN    Fun with Making Sulfa Drugs
[10:31] Senku
    Fun with Making Sulfa Drugs.
[10:33] Senku
    Step one.
[10:35] Senku
    First, we're using a burnable
    rock called coal to...
[10:38] Chrome
    Burnable rocks!
[10:39] Chrome
    Got it.
[10:40] Chrome
    I have some in my shelter.
[10:44] Senku
    We used up all of it when we made iron.
[10:48] Chrome
    Damn it!
[10:51] Senku
    Don't worry.
[10:53] Senku
    We can find plenty of the kind
    of cheap coal that you gathered
[10:55] Senku
    from any of the mountains around here.
[10:58] Senku
    Besides, it's not even
    the coal that we want.
[11:02] Senku
    It's the coal tar that's
    left after it's burned.
[11:05] Senku
    First, wash it with hydrochloric acid,
[11:07] Senku
    then throw in ethyl acetate made from
    alcohol and vinegar, and we have anilin.
[11:13] Chrome
    Hold it, hold it!
[11:14] Chrome
    I'm already totally lost!
[11:17] Chrome
    That's step one?
[11:18] Chrome
    How many of these complicated
    steps are we doing by tomorrow?
[11:23] Senku
    Oh, up to... step 25, maybe?
[11:27] Chrome
    Holy...
[12:02] Gen
    So what is this thing, anyway?
[12:05] Gen
    Can I look inside already?
[12:15] Gen
    Is this...
SIGN    Carbonated water
    acquired!!
[12:22] (Flashback) Gen
    Can you make some, Senku-chan?
[12:25] (Flashback) Gen
    Can you make a bottle of cola?
[12:29] (Flashback) Senku
    Yeah, I can.
[12:31] (Flashback) Senku
    Even if no one else can.
[12:33] Gen
    Nah, there's no way he's that nice!
[12:38] Gen
    Senku-chan, what's this fizzy water for?
[12:42] Gen
    Oh, no!
[12:46] Gen
    Was there an explosion or something?
[12:48] Gen
    This is pretty bad, huh?
[12:50] Gen
    What have you done?
[12:54] Senku
    We haven't done anything, really.
[12:57] Senku
    We poured vinegar on some cooked shells,
[12:59] Senku
    extracted glacial acetic acid using sulfuric
    acid, turned it into ketene in an iron pipe,
[13:04] Senku
    and put it back to make acetic anhydride.
[13:06] Gen
    H-Huh. I see.
[13:08] Senku
    So I tried to drip that acetic
    anhydride into the aniline,
[13:12] Senku
    but I poured on way too much, and kaboom.
[13:15] Gen
    So that's what this wreckage is from.
[13:17] Senku
    Mix the chlorosulfuric acid into
    the acetanilide we just made,
[13:21] Senku
    and we get
    para-acetamidobenzenesulfonyl chloride.
[13:25] Senku
    Throw some ammonia in there to make
    para-acetamidobenzenesulfonic acid,
[13:29] Senku
    cook it in hydrochloric acid,
    and you get that stuff.
[13:32] Gen
    I'm impressed you can say that
    without stuttering, Senku-chan.
[13:36] Senku
    Lastly, that carbonated water.
[13:39] Gen
    Oh, right, Senku-chan.
[13:40] Gen
    I'm not expecting anything, but...
[13:43] Senku
    That's right. You know what
    carbonated water means.
[13:46] Gen
    Carbonated water means...
[13:49] Senku
    We mix it with sodium hydroxide
    to make baking soda!
[13:52] Gen
    Right.
[13:53] Gen
    Of course. Baking soda.
[13:55] Gen
    That's what I was thinking.
[13:58] Senku
    Step 25.
[14:00] Senku
    Finally, we wash this stuff with
    baking soda, and then we wait.
[14:06] Chrome
    It's been a long time.

    the cure-all sulfa drug.
[14:32] Senku
    It's done!
[14:33] Chrome
    Yeah!
[14:38] Kohaku
    Finally...
[14:40] Kohaku
    Finally, Ruri-nee...
[14:47] Senku
    Don't start crying yet, idiot.
[14:50] Senku
    Wait until she's actually better.
[14:52] Kohaku
    I'm not crying!
[14:54] Gen
    Too bad.
[14:55] Gen
    I can't go inside the village,
[14:57] Gen
    so I won't be there to see Ruri-chan take it.
[15:02] Senku
    Have fun waiting at the lab by yourself.
[15:05] Suika
    Gen did lots and lots of work, too.
[15:08] Suika
    I feel sorry for him.
[15:10] Gen
    I guess this is just the
    way it is for bats like me.
[15:22] Senku
    Hey, I'm Mecha Senku!
[15:24] Senku
    Mix together carbonated water, cilantro,
[15:27] Senku
    lime, and honey caramel, and you get cola.
[15:31] Senku
    Try tossing some lime zest
    onto crushed cilantro.
[15:34] Senku
    You'll be shocked at how
    much it smells like cola!
[16:08] Chrome
    Ruri, don't worry.
[16:11] Chrome
    That medicine is the powder
    of life, born from stone.
[16:15] Chrome
    It's the cure-all of science.
[16:17] Chrome
    It'll knock out your sickness for sure!
[16:29] Senku
    A mystery bug versus the culmination
    of two million years of human science...
[16:37] Senku
    This is exhilarating.
[16:50] Senku
    All right, I finally get to see my patient.
[16:54] Senku
    Time to make a diagnosis.
[16:56] Senku
    Say "Ee."
[17:06] Senku
    It sounds like a goat bleating.
[17:09] Senku
    That's evidence that there's
    fluid in her lungs.
[17:16] Gen
    What are you doing with
    that mouse, Senku-chan?
[17:20] Kohaku
    Are we eating it?
[17:22] Gen
    I like how that's the first
    thing that comes to your mind.
[17:25] Kohaku
    Well, I don't eat rats, either.
[17:29] Gen
    I'm glad.
[17:30] Kohaku
    Usually.
[17:32] Gen
    Usually, huh?
[17:35] Senku
    They're a good source of protein.
[17:38] Senku
    But unfortunately, we aren't
    eating it this time.
[17:40] Senku
    This is an autopsy.
[17:44] Senku
    Red inflammation all over the lungs.
[17:47] Senku
    It's definitely a bacterial infection.
[17:50] Senku
    Even the mice are catching it.
[17:53] Senku
    The question is what
    species of bacteria it is.
[17:56] Senku
    Even a cure-all has its limits.
[17:59] Senku
    It's not ten billion percent guaranteed
    that it'll take down any bacteria.
[18:04] Senku
    If Ruri has pulmonary tuberculosis...
[18:06] Senku
    If the enemy is a tuberculosis germ...
[18:10] Senku
    We don't stand a chance.
[18:15] Suika
    This is bad!
[18:17] Suika
    Ruri-nee is...
[18:19] Suika
    Ruri-nee is...
[18:21] Kokuyo
    You don't need to get up.
[18:23] Kokuyo
    Stay on your side.
[18:24] Kokuyo
    Breathe slowly.
[18:25] Jasper
    It's never been this bad before.
[18:29] Jasper
    She may be in danger.
[18:31] Turquoise
    It started as soon as she had
    that suspicious white powder.
[18:34] Turquoise
    I told you not to trust sorcery medicine!
[18:38] Chrome
    Ruri!
[18:39] Kohaku
    Ruri-nee!
[18:48] Kohaku
    Senku...
[18:52] Kokuyo
    Senku, you bastard!
[18:54] Kokuyo
    It's because of that drug!
[18:56] Kohaku
    Father!
[18:57] Kokuyo
    If it weren't for that drug,
[18:58] Kokuyo
    Ruri wouldn't have taken
    such a turn for the worse!
[19:01] Senku
    You might be right.
[19:05] Kokuyo
    I knew it!
[19:07] Senku
    The bacteria is getting serious.
[19:10] Senku
    It's making allies by spreading
[19:12] Senku
    its toxic genes into the harmless
    bacteria all around it.
[19:17] Senku
    It's the pneumococcus
    bacteria's special move.
[19:21] Senku
    Which means Ruri's disease...
[19:24] Senku
    is pneumonia.
[19:27] Senku
    Don't underestimate pneumonia.
[19:29] Senku
    It's a deadly disease that's killed
    hundreds of millions of people.
[19:33] Senku
    But sulfa drugs absolutely
    destroy pneumococcus bacteria.
[19:40] Senku
    We won!
[19:41] Senku
    Human science has won!
[19:44] Senku
    Now that we know what it is,
    we have the upper hand.
[19:47] Senku
    We just need to throw
    more sulfa drug at her.
[19:50] Kokuyo
    Enough of this!
[19:53] Kohaku
    Father, this is nothing like the
    fraudulent sorcery that you know.
[20:00] Kohaku
    It's called science.
[20:01] Kohaku
    It's the culmination of human wisdom.
[20:04] Kohaku
    I believe in science, and in Senku.
[20:11] Chrome
    Yeah, so do I!
[20:15] Kaseki
    I kind of do, too.
[20:28] Senku
    Sheesh, Ruri.
[20:29] Senku
    I'm actually surprised
    she lived to eighteen.
[20:33] Senku
    Stay clean and keep warm, and the
    disease's progression will slow.
[20:42] Senku
    The hot spring water that Kohaku hauled
    in every day ended up protecting Ruri.
[21:02] Kokuyo
    Ruri...
[21:04] Kokuyo
    Ruri!
[21:34] Ruri
    I don't remember how
    many years it's been...
[21:37] Ruri
    since I've left the village
    or been able to run!
[21:42] Kaseki
    Kohaku-chan's rambunctiousness must
    have run in the family all along.
[21:50] Kokuyo
    Listen, all!
[21:52] Kokuyo
    From this day forth, this man, Senku,
    is the new chief of Ishigami Village!
[22:00] Senku
    Ishigami Village?
[22:04] Ruri
    Yes, Senku.
[22:07] Ruri
    I've known about you for a long time.
[22:14] Ruri
    Your name is Ishigami Senku.
