[00:07] Taiju
    Yuzuriha!
[00:08] Taiju
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[00:11] Yuzuriha
    So, what's up, Taiju-kun?
[00:13] Yuzuriha
    What did you want to tell me?
[00:17] Taiju
    I was afraid that by telling her how I feel,
    she wouldn't even be my friend anymore.
[00:22] Taiju
    Hear me out, Yuzuriha.
[00:25] Taiju
    But today's the day.
[00:27] Taiju
    For the past five years, I've...
[00:34] Taiju
    What's that light?
[00:38] Narration
    That day, everyone in the
    world turned to stone.
[00:50] Senku
    So you're finally awake, you big oaf.
[00:56] Senku
    Today is October 5th, 5738.
[01:00] Senku
    It's been a good 3,700 years.
[01:04] Taiju
    How can you tell exactly what day it is?
[01:08] Senku
    I just counted.
[01:10] Senku
    How else would I know?
[01:12] Senku
    Humanity spent two million years getting
    from the stone age to the modern age.
[01:17] Senku
    We're going to sprint all
    the way back to the top.
[01:20] Senku
    I'm going to take the world back.
[01:23] Senku
    And I'll figure out the science behind
    the petrification and our revival.
[01:27] Taiju
    I'm going to save Yuzuriha.
[01:36] Senku
    I'm going to beat fantasy with science.
[01:41] Senku
    This is exhilarating.
[01:44] Taiju
    So, Senku, who are we reviving first?
[01:49] Senku
    We're going to wake up everyone eventually.
[01:51] Senku
    What does it matter who we start with?
[01:56] Senku
    Although it would suck if we woke
    up a murderer right off the bat.
[02:01] Taiju
    I see.
[02:05] Senku
    I don't feel like choosing who we wake up.
[02:10] Senku
    Taiju, it's your choice.
[02:15] Taiju
    Thanks, Senku.
[02:17] Taiju
    My answer is obvious.
[03:57] Taiju
    The time has finally come.
[04:02] Taiju
    That water's going to undo the
    petrification and revive her, right?
[04:06] Senku
    Yeah, it should.
[04:09] Senku
    I tried it on a piece of a shattered statue,
    and it turned back into a corpse.
[04:14] Taiju
    You're so disrespectful!
[04:16] Senku
    I did try putting all the
    pieces back together first,
[04:20] Senku
    but it looks like you can't save
    someone once they're dead.
[04:24] Senku
    They made a noble sacrifice.
[04:25] Senku
    Send up a prayer or something.
[04:27] Taiju
    Right!
[04:28] Taiju
    Rest in peace, rest in peace...
    Rest in peace, rest in peace...
[04:33] Taiju
    Sorry I kept you waiting
    for 3,700 years, Yuzuriha.
[04:38] Taiju
    I'm going to bring you back to life now.
[04:44] Taiju
    Wait, Senku! Yuzuriha's naked!
[04:51] Taiju
    We can't!
[04:52] Taiju
    We can't revive her like this!
[04:54] Senku
    Here we go again with
    your illogical nonsense...
[04:58] Senku
    We're in a stone world.
    It's kind of an emergency.
[05:00] Senku
    No one's going to care
    if your butt's showing
[05:04] Senku
    or if your dick's hanging out.
[05:06] Taiju
    Yuzuriha doesn't have a dick!
[05:08] Senku
    That's not my point!
[05:10] Taiju
    We have to take her back to camp
    and put clothes on her first.
[05:14] Senku
    How heavy is that statue, anyway?
[05:16] Taiju
    Yuzuriha isn't fat!
[05:19] Senku
    That's not my point.
[05:21] Senku
    I mean, wouldn't it be ten billion times
    quicker to wake her up and have her walk?
[05:28] Senku
    How illogical can you—
[05:34] Senku
    Wait, big oaf!
[05:47] Taiju
    Why is there a lion in Japan?!
[05:49] Senku
    Why do you think?
[05:50] Senku
    It's from a zoo, obviously!
[05:53] Senku
    The staff must've been petrified while
    the door was open or something!
[05:56] Senku
    If they get out when no humans are around,
    every herbivore in the zoo is on the menu.
[06:00] Senku
    And if they go out into the city,
    it's a pet buffet!
[06:03] Senku
    So now they're literally the king of beasts!
[06:07] Senku
    In this stone world, the humans aren't
    at the top of the food chain anymore!
[06:28] Taiju
    Why aren't they attacking us, though?
[06:33] Senku
    They've never seen bipedals before.
    We must look creepy as hell to them.
[06:39] Taiju
    We're the only humans in the world.
[06:42] Senku
    They're alarmed, too.
[06:44] Senku
    But it's only a matter of time now.
[06:46] Senku
    Even if we get super lucky and
    make it all the way back to camp,
[06:50] Senku
    the best we can do is
    fight them with spears.
[06:52] Senku
    This game was practically
    over before it even started!
[07:05] Taiju
    I can't let you die, Senku!
[07:08] Taiju
    You're humanity's last bastion,
    the only one with scientific knowledge.
[07:11] Taiju
    If it comes down to it, I'll be your shield!
[07:13] Senku
    No!
[07:16] Senku
    Think it over logically!
[07:19] Senku
    I'm the brains, and you're the brawn.
[07:22] Senku
    We can't lose either one!
[07:25] Senku
    If we're going to run,
    we need to run together!
[07:31] Taiju
    All right, got it!
[07:35] Senku
    You've never even hit anyone,
    ever since you were little.
[07:41] Senku
    Your strong suit is fitness, not fighting.
[07:46] Taiju
    Senku, if we can't outrun them,
    we have one last option...
[07:52] Taiju
    I found him earlier...
[07:55] Taiju
    The strongest primate
    high-schooler, Shishio Tsukasa.
[08:02] Taiju
    Sorry, Yuzuriha.
[08:04] Taiju
    We need someone who can fight right now.
[08:08] Taiju
    If we do defeat the lions, I promise we'll—
[08:12] Senku
    Shut up already. Let's just pour it on him.
[08:23] Taiju
    No! We're surrounded!
[08:26] Senku
    They're coming!
[08:39] Taiju
    Sorry!
[08:40] Taiju
    I'm sure you have no idea what's going on
    after being stuck for thousands of years...
[08:45] Tsukasa
    What's the situation?
[08:50] Senku
    Your whole body is covered in stone.
[08:52] Senku
    Lions from your nine o'clock to two o'clock.
[08:55] Tsukasa
    Okay.
[09:33] Tsukasa
    You can fill me in on the
    details of the situation later.
[09:40] Tsukasa
    But I'll promise you one thing:
    you two will never be in danger again.
[09:49] Tsukasa
    From now on, I'll do the fighting.
[09:56] Taiju
    This is great, Senku!
[09:58] Taiju
    Humanity now has brains,
    brawn, and brute force!
[10:01] Taiju
    The Three Musketeers are all here!
[10:04] Senku
    I get that, but this Shishio
    guy is way too strong.
[10:10] Taiju
    Is that a bad thing?
[10:12] Taiju
    Isn't it good to have
    someone like him around?
[10:15] Senku
    What if he turns out to be an evil
    bureaucrat with insatiable greed?
[10:20] Senku
    He's overpowered enough to beat
    down a lion with his bare hands.
[10:23] Senku
    In a world without guns,
    he's ten billion percent unstoppable.
[10:29] Yuzuriha
    Eek!
[10:30] Tsukasa
    Come hither, Yuzuriha.
[10:33] Taiju
    No way!
[10:35] Taiju
    We can't let that happen!
[10:37] Tsukasa
    Sorry, but would you mind lending
    me some butchering tools?
[10:42] Tsukasa
    A knife, or even just stone
    tools, if that's all we have.
[10:47] Taiju
    You're gonna eat the lion?
[10:48] Taiju
    You can eat lion?
[10:51] Senku
    It's not poisonous.
[10:53] Senku
    Although it is tough and reeks of ammonia,
    not to mention it tastes horrible.
[10:57] Taiju
    You've had it before, Senku?!
[10:59] Senku
    When I went to Africa to research Ebola.
[11:02] Taiju
    What kind of high schooler are you?!
[11:05] Tsukasa
    Though it was in self-defense,
    I did kill it with my own hands.
[11:10] ---
    Yes...
[11:12] Tsukasa
    I want to give thanks to the circle
    of life by putting all of it to use.
[11:18] Tsukasa
    That's all.
[11:22] Taiju
    He's great!
[11:24] Taiju
    Aren't you glad, Senku?
[11:25] Taiju
    He's no evil bureaucrat!
[11:27] Taiju
    He's a super good guy!
[11:32] Senku
    I hope so.
[11:35] Senku
    Well, I don't have even a millimeter
    of interest in stuff like gratitude,
[11:39] Senku
    but I absolutely agree with not wasting meat.
[11:59] Tsukasa
    The two of you built this?
[12:03] Senku
    Yeah.
[12:05] Taiju
    Hang on for a little longer, Yuzuriha.
[12:08] Taiju
    We'll save you as soon as we have
    enough of that miracle water...
[12:10] Taiju
    the something-or-other acid.
SIGN    Laboratory
[12:19] Tsukasa
    Laboratory?
[12:22] Tsukasa
    I'm Shishio Tsukasa.
[12:25] Tsukasa
    You can call me Tsukasa.
[12:28] Senku
    Last names don't really mean
    much in this world, do they?
[12:31] Senku
    I'm Senku, the sane one
    who's in charge of science.
[12:35] Senku
    That's Taiju, the simple one
    who's in charge of heavy lifting.
[12:37] Taiju
    I'm Taiju, the simple one.
[12:40] Taiju
    Nice to meet you.
[12:41] Taiju
    If you need any thinking done, ask Senku.
[12:44] Tsukasa
    What do you usually have to eat?
[12:46] Senku
    Mainly wild greens and mushrooms,
[12:49] Senku
    and the occasional rabbit for meat,
    when we can catch one.
[12:51] Taiju
    All I ever dream about lately is eating
    meat until my belly's about to explode!
[12:57] Tsukasa
    Well, you won't be living like that...
[13:02] Tsukasa
    any longer.
[13:35] Tsukasa
    I'll be in charge of fighting and hunting.
[13:40] Taiju
    This is awesome!
[13:43] Tsukasa
    Now that I'm on your side, you'll never
    have any shortage of prey again.
[13:52] Taiju
    I see.
[13:54] Taiju
    So if you cook it immediately, you don't
    need a fridge to keep it from going bad.
[13:58] Senku
    I'm not cooking it.
[14:00] Senku
    I'm using the aldehydes in the
    smoke to kill the microbes.
[14:04] Senku
    To put it simply enough for you
    to understand, I'm smoking it.
[14:09] Tsukasa
    If Senku and I work together,
    we'll have plenty of preserved food.
[14:15] Senku
    Now we can finally take the
    first step toward civilization.
[14:18] Taiju
    We were still at step zero?!
[14:24] Taiju
    Hey, Tsukasa, what's wrong?
[14:43] Tsukasa
    Sorry for startling you.
[14:47] Tsukasa
    This person was buried under the rock.
[14:50] Taiju
    He really is a good guy!
[14:54] Senku
    He's a superhero at this point, huh?
[15:01] Taiju
    Man, I'm full.
[15:05] Senku
    Time for a fun quiz.
[15:09] Senku
    What's the most important thing we
    need for a technological civilization?
[15:14] Senku
    Ten billion points for the correct answer.
[15:18] Taiju
    Technological civilization?
[15:20] Taiju
    The most important thing we need?
[15:24] Taiju
    Smartphones!
[15:26] Senku
    Sure, smartphones!
[15:27] Senku
    Smartphones would be nice to have, huh?
[15:30] Senku
    How many tens of billions
    of years ahead are you?!
[15:33] Tsukasa
    Steel?
[15:35] Senku
    Steel, too, but that's later.
[15:38] Senku
    There's something more useful.
[15:41] Senku
    Calcium carbonate.
[15:43] Taiju
    Of course!
[15:44] Taiju
    As always, I'm totally clueless!
[15:46] Tsukasa
    Ah, you mean lime.
[15:48] Senku
    Yeah.
[15:49] Senku
    That's putting it in terms that
    a simple mind can understand.
[15:53] Senku
    The stuff they use to chalk athletic fields.
[15:56] Taiju
    So we're going to be looking
    for a gym storage room
[15:59] Taiju
    to get something-or-other carbonate?!
[16:01] Senku
    Yeah, that's it. A gym storage room.
[16:04] Senku
    If only there were any still
    around 3,700 years later!
[16:13] Senku
    You know the shells that have been so
    useful for trimming your beard, big oaf?
[16:20] Senku
    Pulverize them into powder, and you have
    that something-or-other carbonate stuff.
[16:27] Taiju
    All right!
[16:28] Taiju
    Brawn duty, here I come!
[16:38] Senku
    Nothing's as exhilarating
    as calcium carbonate.
[16:42] Senku
    There are four insanely
    useful ways to use it.
[16:46] Senku
    First, agriculture.
[16:48] Senku
    We use it to blow away all the hydrogen ions.
[16:51] Senku
    In other words, it upgrades the soil.
[16:54] Senku
    Second, construction.
[16:56] Senku
    Cook it together with sand,
    and you have mortar.
[17:00] Senku
    Mortar is basic cement.
[17:03] Senku
    We can build huge furnaces and houses.
[17:05] Senku
    Third, soap.
[17:08] Senku
    Gather sodium carbonate from seaweed,
[17:11] Senku
    mix it with oil, and the reaction creates soap.
[17:15] Senku
    Getting sick means game over in this world.
[17:18] Senku
    This little chunk that keeps germs off of us
[17:21] Senku
    is our stone of life in a world with no doctors.
[17:24] Senku
    It's our doctor stone.
[17:28] Tsukasa
    Senku, you're an amazing man.
[17:33] Tsukasa
    In the moment after I revived, too,
[17:36] Tsukasa
    you communicated the situation
    quickly and calmly.
[17:39] Tsukasa
    I've never seen anyone as clever as you.
[17:42] Tsukasa
    I admire you, truly.
[17:49] Senku
    A man who praises a man to his
    face is full of ulterior motives.
[17:55] Senku
    It's been that way for ten billion years.
[17:59] Senku
    What's your point?
[18:02] Tsukasa
    Oh, dear.
[18:04] Tsukasa
    I really didn't mean anything by it.
[18:07] Tsukasa
    I have a feeling you might be able to
    build modern civilization from scratch.
[18:13] ---
    Yes.
[18:14] Tsukasa
    That's all I wanted to say.
[18:18] ---
    Whew!
[18:20] Taiju
    So this is how you build civilization, huh?
[18:25] Senku
    Yeah, one step at a time.
[18:28] Senku
    We're slowly but surely
    approaching modern civilization.
[18:32] Taiju
    So, what's the fourth thing?
[18:35] Taiju
    You said there were four
    handy uses for seashells.
[18:41] Senku
    No, three.
[18:43] Senku
    Didn't I say three?
[18:45] Taiju
    Huh? Did you?
[18:47] Taiju
    Man, even my memory is screwy!
[19:14] Taiju
    Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells!
    Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells!
[19:25] Tsukasa
    We're free in this stone world.
[19:29] Tsukasa
    Shells never belonged to anyone.
[19:34] Tsukasa
    The same goes for the sea, and the land.
[19:41] Tsukasa
    There was once a poor boy who tried to make
[19:45] Tsukasa
    a necklace out of seashells for his younger
    sister, who was undergoing surgery.
[19:51] Tsukasa
    His sister loved The Little Mermaid.
[19:56] Tsukasa
    But then, a middle-aged man who owned
    the fishing rights to that spot arrived...
[20:02] Tsukasa
    and with him, the stench of liquor.
[20:08] Tsukasa
    The boy who was collecting
    shells... or rather,
[20:12] Tsukasa
    according to the man,
    the boy who was stealing shells,
[20:16] Tsukasa
    was beaten so badly that
    his face was unrecognizable.
[20:19] Tsukasa
    He was never able to help his
    sister be like the Little Mermaid.
[20:37] Senku
    You do know what you're doing,
    don't you, Tsukasa?
[20:42] Senku
    You just killed a man.
[20:46] Tsukasa
    I know that, of course.
[20:49] Tsukasa
    Senku, do you intend to bring back
    everyone, including the grown-ups
[20:54] Tsukasa
    whose hearts are tainted?
[20:56] Tsukasa
    Sure, they'll be grateful to you at first.
[21:01] Tsukasa
    But as soon as civilization returns,
    the rich and powerful seniors will say,
[21:07] Tsukasa
    "That used to be my land."
    "Pay your rent." "Pay your taxes."
[21:13] Tsukasa
    They'll rob the poor youth of our future again.
[21:18] Tsukasa
    We must not bring that world back.
[21:24] Tsukasa
    This is a stone world.
[21:26] Tsukasa
    An untainted paradise.
[21:29] Tsukasa
    We'll revive only the pure-hearted youth
[21:33] Tsukasa
    and live in a natural world owned by no one.
[21:38] Tsukasa
    It's a chance to purify humanity.
[21:41] Tsukasa
    Don't you agree, Senku?
[21:54] Senku
    Not at all.
[21:56] Senku
    Not even a millimeter.
[21:58] Senku
    I'm a technology-loving
    boy who gets excited over
[22:03] Senku
    mechs and space and
    Doraemon and stuff like that.
[22:08] Senku
    I'm going to use the power of science
    to rescue every single person.
