[00:03] Senku
    Hang in there for the
    short while that I'm gone.
[00:06] Senku
    Hey, you've been waiting 3,700 years.
[00:10] Senku
    A few more months or years is no big deal.
[00:16] Senku
    We're going to build our Kingdom of Science.
[00:27] Homura
    Sound of explosives.
[00:29] Senku
    Run!
[00:31] Chrome
    I'm going to get the Kingdom of
    Science's custom-built cell phone
[00:34] Chrome
    to Taiju and Yuzuriha even if it kills me!
[02:15] Magma
    Why do we have to be so sneaky?
[02:18] Gen
    They're going to follow us if they see us.
[02:21] Chrome
    Our top-secret cell phone plan would
    be wasted right then and there.
[02:25] Magma
    If it's that scout Homura
    we're worried about,
[02:28] Magma
    why don't we just kill her or catch her?
[02:31] Chrome
    Sure, if we knew where she was hiding!
[02:33] Gen
    Although, right now, Homura-chan has
    no option but to come out of hiding
[02:37] Gen
    to check out the situation.
[02:40] Gen
    It's gunpowder that they're
    worried about, after all.
[02:43] Gen
    There's no way someone
    whose job is to keep watch
[02:46] Gen
    isn't going to check out
    such a huge explosion.
[02:50] Kohaku
    If Homura's going to show up,
[02:52] Kohaku
    it'll be along the line between that hill
    and where the sonic bombs went off.
[02:56] Suika
    I just saw something!
[02:58] Suika
    A shadow moving really quickly!
[03:06] Suika
    She's already gone to catch her.
[03:08] Kaseki
    Kohaku-chan sure is impressive.
[03:10] Kaseki
    She's so proactive and decisive.
[03:13] Kohaku
    Senku gave us this one-in-a-million
    chance with his sonic bombs.
[03:18] Kohaku
    I have to catch Homura, no matter what!
[03:26] Homura
    Explosion craters.
[03:32] Homura
    Chills.
[03:38] Homura
    My neck.
[03:51] Kohaku
    How is she moving like that?
[04:00] Homura
    Gymnastics.
[04:02] Homura
    You, born in this age, wouldn't know.
[04:05] Kohaku
    I don't intend to kill you needlessly.
[04:07] Homura
    I know. Hit with back of sword.
[04:10] Homura
    How long will you chase me?
[04:11] Kohaku
    Until I catch you.
[04:13] Homura
    You can't.
[04:14] Homura
    Give up.
[04:15] Kohaku
    Stop resisting and let me restrain you!
[04:17] Homura
    Never happen.
[04:20] Homura
    I'm trying to exhaust her
    by making her talk, but...
[04:24] Homura
    Kohaku...
[04:25] Homura
    I can't lose her.
[04:27] Kohaku
    Homura... I can't get any closer.
[04:32] Kohaku
    She's fast.
[04:32] Homura
    She's fast.
[04:34] Kohaku
    I'm going to have to herd
    her toward the village.
[04:37] Suika
    They're coming this way!
[04:38] Kokuyo
    Seniors and children, take shelter!
[04:41] Kokuyo
    Everyone else, surround her!
[04:47] Homura
    Senku?
[04:56] Senku
    Aren't you curious?
[04:58] Senku
    Scoop your eyes out and take a good look.
[05:02] Senku
    The level 2 science surprise gadget: the flare.
[05:14] Kohaku
    What is this?!
[05:16] Mechu
    Long time no see!
[05:18] Mechu
    I'm Mecha-Senku!
[05:20] Mechu
    I'm gonna teach you how to make flares.

[05:44] Mechu
    They might know!
[05:50] Ginro
    I thought Senku was a wimp!
[05:52] Suika
    He's awesome!
[05:54] Homura
    Watch where you're touching me.
[05:57] Senku
    Think about who you're trying
    to pull that trick on.
[06:00] Senku
    Once we're done building civilization,
    I'll play the pure, innocent boy all you want.
[06:07] Homura
    Should I force my way out and run?
[06:09] Homura
    There's no way I can stand up against...
[06:15] Kokuyo
    It was a total fail!
[06:17] Ginro
    What a wimp!
[06:27] Kokuyo
    It's not a matter of strength.
[06:29] Kinro
    How is that woman moving like that?
[06:35] Kokuyo
    She's gotten away.
[06:37] Kohaku
    My eyes are still flickering.
[06:39] Kaseki
    I guess having good eyesight
    has its downsides.
[06:44] Homura
    Kinro.
[06:45] Homura
    Ginro.
[06:47] Homura
    Kohaku.
[06:48] Homura
    Suika.
[06:49] Homura
    Kaseki.
[06:51] Homura
    Jasper.
[06:52] Homura
    Kokuyo.
[06:53] Homura
    Turquoise.
[06:54] Homura
    Mantle.
[06:56] Homura
    Argo.
[06:57] Suika
    How do you know all our names?
[07:00] Kaseki
    It seems that's how thoroughly
    she's been observing us.
[07:07] Homura
    Everyone else from the village is here,
    but Chrome, Magma, and Gen are missing.
[07:13] Homura
    Something's wrong.
[07:17] Homura
    Where are they?
[07:21] Homura
    Chrome, the technician,
    and Magma, the brawn.
[07:24] Homura
    Are they mining for gems?
[07:26] Homura
    No, they wouldn't need Gen.
[07:29] Homura
    Why is Gen with them?
[07:31] Homura
    To guide them?
[07:33] Homura
    Where?
[07:38] Homura
    They're taking something to our headquarters.
[07:41] Homura
    What's so important to require a diversion?
    A critical weapon of science?
[07:46] Homura
    What?
[07:47] Kinro
    She must have figured out that Chrome
    and the cell phone team are on the move.
[07:52] Ginro
    This is bad!
[08:00] Kohaku
    I guess we can't count on tracking her.
[08:03] Kohaku
    Chrome and the advance party are headed
    straight for the Tsukasa Empire headquarters.
[08:08] Kohaku
    Homura is chasing them.
[08:10] Kohaku
    It's only a matter of time before
    she discovers their cell phone.
[08:13] Kohaku
    If she destroys it or even just
    notifies Tsukasa, it's over.
[08:17] Kaseki
    Please, no!
[08:19] Kaseki
    We worked so hard on it!
[08:21] Kinro
    We're going to have to catch her first.
[08:23] Ginro
    Homura-chan's going after Chrome and
    the others, and we have to chase her?!
[08:29] Ginro
    That's so complicated!
[08:32] Senku
    Time to bust out the level 3 science
    surprise, our final weapon.
[08:40] Ginro
    All the spots he's lighting up...
[08:42] Suika
    ...are leaving marks.
[08:44] Senku
    Well, we're out of time.
[08:47] Senku
    Let's get started.
[08:49] Senku
    It's the start of our
    happy double pursuit race.
[08:59] Kohaku
    These markings dotting the
    way are Homura's path?
[09:03] Suika
    Why can we see this light, though?
[09:08] Senku
    Come on, wake up.
[09:10] Senku
    You guys have seen it before.
[09:13] Suika
    The blue gems!
[09:15] Senku
    In powdered form.
[09:17] Kohaku
    I see!
[09:18] Kohaku
    You put it on Homura's arms and legs!
[09:20] Kaseki
    Oh?
[09:22] Kaseki
    I thought it only lights up
    briefly just before dawn.
[09:26] Senku
    Ultraviolet light.
[09:28] Senku
    This light of science
    produces it artificially.
[09:32] Senku
    The black light.
[09:34] Senku
    Nickel, barium...
[09:36] Senku
    We needed all those treasures
    we found in the cave to make it.
SIGN    Barium
SIGN    Nickel
SIGN    Glass
[09:39] Senku
    It's basically just a purple light bulb
    we made by mixing them with glass.
[09:44] Kohaku
    We can follow these.
[09:45] Kohaku
    We can find her!
[09:58] Kohaku
    Senku, let me make something clear.
[10:01] Kohaku
    Homura's movements are exceptional.
[10:03] Senku
    Gymnastics.
[10:05] Senku
    It's a skill that doesn't exist in your age.
[10:08] Kohaku
    We won't be able to capture her unharmed.
[10:11] Kohaku
    But I could behead her with my sword.
[10:16] (Flashback) Senku
    We could even accomplish a bloodless siege.
[10:21] Kohaku
    Am I free to kill her?
[10:26] Senku
    Kohaku, have you ever killed a human being?
[10:37] Kohaku
    Of course not.
[10:41] Kohaku
    That's why, the moment
    I must do it, I'll hesitate.
[10:48] Kohaku
    My weakness will be exposed.
[10:51] Kohaku
    In order to have the conviction
    to go through with it,
[10:53] Kohaku
    I must impress it upon
    myself with forceful words.
[10:57] Senku
    Relax.
[10:59] Senku
    You might not even get a chance to use that
    horrible thing you have on your waist.
[11:06] Senku
    Why do you think we worked so hard
    on that ridiculously huge box?
[11:13] Senku
    The ultimate weapon of modern
    warfare: information communication.
[11:21] Chrome
    No, no, no!
[11:25] Gen
    Is anything broken? The vacuum tubes?
[11:28] Chrome
    Either way, we should check
    it every now and then.
[11:34] Chrome
    It rang!
[11:35] Gen
    Stop!
[11:35] Gen
    Don't answer it, Chrome-chan!
[11:37] Chrome
    Why not?
[11:39] Magma
    It stopped.
[11:40] Gen
    There's only one reason they
    would call at this stage.
[11:45] Gen
    And it was one ring.
[11:47] Gen
    Homura-chan found us.
[11:50] Gen
    We're being chased!
[11:53] Gen
    If she saw us talking, she'd realize
    we're carrying a cell phone.
[11:59] Gen
    Our job is still to keep
    going as if we're oblivious.
[12:05] Senku
    This race is a doubled-up game of tag.
[12:08] Senku
    Chrome, who's carrying the cell phone...
[12:10] Senku
    Homura, who's chasing them...
[12:12] Senku
    And us, chasing Homura.
[12:14] Senku
    But what happens if we coordinate
    via radio in this situation?
[12:20] Kohaku
    Our game of tag suddenly
    turns into a pincer attack!
[12:25] Senku
    That's information warfare.
[12:30] Homura
    Hyoga-sama...
[12:53] Kohaku
    This is bad.
[12:54] Kohaku
    The light ends after this river.
[12:56] Senku
    Damn it, she washed all the powder off.
[13:00] Senku
    She must have noticed it
    glowing in the morning sun.
[13:02] Kinro
    Also, why is this so-called
    "cell phone" ringing on and off?
[13:07] Senku
    Gen-sensei is one-ringing us.
[13:10] Senku
    He's using the ringer to send us Morse code.
SIGN    Where are you?
SIGN    Following the river.
    20km down.
SIGN    We're chasing
    Homura!
SIGN    Crap! Passing
    the 25km point.
    What now,
    Senku-chan?
SIGN    Heh, heh, heh!
    Proceed with the
    pincer strategy!
SIGN    Roger!
[13:14] Senku
    We can't use voice,
    so we're texting each other.
[13:18] Senku
    That would be one way to think of it.
[13:20] Kinro
    That doesn't help at all.
[13:23] Kohaku
    We don't get your scientific
    civilization analogies.
[13:26] Senku
    Gen's reported locations
[13:28] Senku
    and Homura's route have matched
    up for the past several kilometers.
[13:32] Kohaku
    Which means Homura has caught up to
    them, and she's following them now.
[13:37] Senku
    That information is worth its weight in gold.
[13:40] Senku
    With Homura in front of us,
[13:42] Senku
    and with us communicating our
    positions using our cell phones,
[13:46] Senku
    we can see where every piece is.
[13:50] Senku
    It's an information pincer.
[13:53] Gen
    Nope, no good.
[13:55] Gen
    It's not picking up a signal anymore.
[13:57] Gen
    Chrome-chan, can you set
    it up on top of a tree?
[14:00] Chrome
    Sure.
[14:01] Homura
    "Signal"?
[14:04] Homura
    No way...
[14:05] Homura
    In this stone world?
[14:09] Homura
    A communicator?
[14:12] Homura
    I have to make sure.
[14:14] Homura
    As a scout!
[14:17] Homura
    I could destroy it right now.
[14:19] Homura
    This is my only chance.
[14:24] Homura
    It's fake?
[14:26] Homura
    Why?
[14:31] Homura
    Gen's switch-out magic trick!
[14:41] Homura
    Can't land safely.
[14:43] Homura
    Death... assured.
[14:47] Homura
    Goodbye, Hyoga-sama.
[14:50] Senku
    Now!
[15:01] Kohaku
    You may be fast, but if we know everything
    about when and where you show up,
[15:08] Kohaku
    we can capture you unharmed!
[15:13] Chrome
    Yes!
[15:16] Senku
    Exhilarating, isn't it?
[15:18] Senku
    This is information warfare,
    brought to you by the Kingdom of Science.
[15:52] Chrome
    We're here.
[15:55] Chrome
    Finally! We made it!
[15:56] Chrome
    Final boss Tsukasa's main base!
[15:59] Gen
    Shh, Chrome-chan!
[16:00] Gen
    There's a guy with crazy hearing
    in Tsukasa-chan's army.
[16:04] Chrome
    My bad.
[16:06] Chrome
    Damn, if we get caught after
    coming all the way here...
[16:12] Chrome
    Jeez, it's a statue.
[16:14] Chrome
    Damn... They all look so strong.
[16:17] Magma
    Something's written in blood on its face.
[16:19] Gen
    Looks like priority numbers
    for when to revive them.
[16:22] Gen
    Those weren't there when I last saw them.
[16:26] Gen
    The lowest number is 33.
[16:29] Gen
    Which means Tsukasa-chan's revived
    at least 32 people since then.
[16:37] Gen
    He's going quite a bit faster than I thought.
[16:41] Chrome
    Even if we keep bringing
    people over from his army,
[16:45] Chrome
    it won't matter if he keeps
    making soldiers even faster.
[16:48] Gen
    This is pretty bad.
[16:51] Magma
    Why don't we just wreck
    all of them right now?
[16:55] Magma
    No, even that's too much work.
[16:58] Magma
    Just break their arms or
    legs off as we find them,
[17:01] Magma
    and they won't be able to fight.
[17:07] Chrome
    You're pretty brutal, Magma.
[17:09] Chrome
    I totally forgot, since you'd
    kind of become an ally.
[17:12] Gen
    He's merciless when it comes to his enemies.
[17:16] Gen
    Although, if we had to choose,
    it's probably best to destroy them now.
[17:36] Gen
    Aw, shucks, I can't.
[17:41] Gen
    These statues did nothing wrong.
[17:45] Gen
    Maybe if they were major
    villains or something, but...
[17:49] Gen
    We humans can pretend
    we're realists all we want,
[17:51] Gen
    but when it actually comes
    time to kill someone...
[17:56] Gen
    We're so weak, aren't we?
[17:58] Gen
    So weak.
[18:04] Gen
    That's why Tsukasa-chan's so dangerous,
    because he can go ahead and do it.
[18:10] Gen
    We have to stop him.
[18:12] Chrome
    You aren't weak.
[18:15] Chrome
    We're aiming way higher.
[18:18] Chrome
    To try not to spill any blood.
[18:20] Chrome
    We just need to convert people faster
    than Tsukasa can grow his army.
[18:25] Chrome
    So let's go.
[18:27] Chrome
    Our mission is to build a cell phone
    hot line as soon as possible.
[18:37] Chrome
    Dude, Magma, you were totally about
    to casually destroy those statues.
[18:43] Magma
    Why do you care? They're strangers.
[18:46] Gen
    Sure, right.
[18:48] Gen
    I'm so glad Magma-chan's on our side.
[18:53] Chrome
    Where are we?
[18:54] Gen
    A grave.
[18:56] Magma
    For Tsukasa's men?
[18:58] Gen
    No.
[18:59] Magma
    Then who?
[19:01] Gen
    It's Senku-chan's grave.
[19:04] Magma
    Senku is dead?!
[19:06] Chrome
    He's obviously alive.
[19:09] Chrome
    It's a fake, to make Tsukasa think he's dead.
[19:15] (Flashback) Senku
    We have them thinking I'm dead.
[19:19] (Flashback) Senku
    You'd better visit my grave regularly.
[19:23] Kohaku
    So Senku's grave is where
    we exchange materials, huh?
[19:28] Senku
    It's a perfect holy ground.
[19:30] Senku
    Tsukasa's men don't have
    any interest in my grave.
[19:35] Kinro
    And even if they go there often,
[19:36] Kinro
    his men would think it's
    just to pay respects.
[19:38] Senku
    They're going to gather there
    to communicate with the dead.
[19:42] Senku
    It's the birth of a ghost communicator.
[19:46] Gen
    He's so good, isn't he?
[19:49] Gen
    It's a grave, so it wouldn't seem odd
    for them to be talking to a dead man.
[19:53] Gen
    But this... might be a bit too obvious.
[19:57] Chrome
    That's totally going to draw attention!
[20:04] Chrome
    Damn it, this stone's in the way.
[20:15] Chrome
    You don't give a damn about
    anything, do you, Magma?!
[20:17] Gen
    Just hurry up and hide it!
[20:26] Chrome
    Looks like we got away with it.
[20:28] Magma
    You scrawny wimps freak out way too much.
[20:31] Gen
    We don't know yet.
[20:33] Gen
    I told you, there's a guy with crazy hearing—
[20:50] Ukyo
    I definitely heard something
    from around here.
[20:58] Suika
    If someone from Tsukasa's army finds
    the cell phone first, we're done.
[21:04] Senku
    They've got the mentalist with them.
[21:06] Senku
    They aren't going to make it that obvious.
[21:09] Senku
    Besides, those two will be fine.
[21:12] Senku
    They're a tag team of diligence and tenacity.
[21:15] Senku
    They'll find it for sure.
[21:17] Senku
    No matter what the situation.
[21:29] Suika
    I-It's ringing!
[21:31] Kohaku
    But what if it's one of Tsukasa's men?
[21:41] Senku
    Yo.
[21:54] Taiju
    Senku!
[22:02] Senku
    I missed this all so much, I could cry.
[22:07] Senku
    Including your ridiculously loud voice.
