[00:17] Senku
    We've finally completed our

[02:11] Senku
    We've come so far, building a
    scientific civilization from scratch
SIGN    Ramen
[02:18] Senku
    in this stone-riddled world.
[02:22] Senku
    The strongest weapon in modern warfare,
[02:25] Senku
    delivering voices over infinite distances...
[02:33] Senku
    The cell phone is born!
[02:39] Chrome
    Yeah!
[02:44] Ruri
    Our voices are going to travel across
    the skies and far into the distance.
[02:49] Suika
    It's so strange.
[02:51] Kohaku
    Yeah.
[02:52] Kohaku
    So it's great that we're sending
    our voices over long distances...
[02:55] Kohaku
    But how are we going to hear them?
[03:01] Senku
    Whoops! We're going to need another one.
[03:06] Gen
    You kept quiet about that
    on purpose, didn't you?
[03:09] Gen
    Because people might give up if
    you told them we need to make two.
SIGN    We needed
    more than one
    cell phone!!
[03:14] Senku
    Tee-hee.
[03:22] Senku
    We do need another one to
    make it work as a cell phone.
[03:26] Senku
    But if we run a long cable,
    it should work as a phone.
[03:43] Chrome
    Ruri can hear me if I
    talk through here, right?
[03:53] Ginro
    Ahem.
[03:55] Ginro
    Chrome, have you chosen your
    historic first words for the phones
[04:00] Ginro
    we've finally built?
[04:03] Ginro
    Ruri-chan's listening on the other end.
[04:05] Ginro
    Come on, it's your chance to
    tell her how you really feel.
[04:09] Ginro
    This is your moment.
[04:17] Chrome
    My true feelings...
[04:24] Ginro
    Hit the switch!
[04:26] Suika
    It's on!
[04:32] Chrome
    Ruri...
[04:39] Chrome
    Did you see that, Ruri?
    Pretty awesome, right?!
[04:42] Chrome
    Science is insane!
[04:48] Chrome
    What's up with you all, anyway?
[04:51] Crowd
    I heard them!
[04:52] Crowd
    It worked!
[04:53] Turquoise
    How does this thing work?
[04:54] Jasper
    I'm shocked.
[04:56] Jasper
    That was definitely Chrome's voice.
[04:58] Magma
    I don't get it.
[05:00] Magma
    How can something so tiny speak?
[05:03] Ruri
    It's almost like a speaker.
[05:05] Senku
    "Almost like"? It's literally a speaker.
[05:08] Senku
    Microphones and speakers just convert
    between sound and electricity.
[05:12] Senku
    They're the same...
[05:14] Senku
    Ruri.
[05:16] Senku
    What did you just say?
[05:18] Senku
    "It's almost like a speaker"?
[05:20] Kid A
    Huh, a speaker?
[05:22] Kid B
    So is this a bee?
[05:24] Kid C
    It's a bee! A bee!
[05:25] Gen
    Huh? Speakers are bees?
[05:29] Ruri
    Um, I mean... aren't speakers a kind of bee?
[05:33] Suika
    How did that happen?
[05:36] Ruri
    It was in the Hundred Tales.
[05:39] Gen
    That's how it was passed down?
[05:40] Ruri
    Yes.
[05:42] Ruri
    In tale 14 of the Hundred Tales...
[05:46] Ruri
    There's a talkative bee named Speaker.
[05:50] Ruri
    When it poked gravestones with its needle,
[05:53] Ruri
    it could speak in the voices of the dead.
[06:01] Senku
    Speaker...
[06:03] Senku
    Needles on gravestones...
[06:04] Senku
    Voices of the dead...
[06:06] Senku
    That story isn't transferring
    any kind of knowledge.
[06:10] Senku
    I don't get what it's for.
[06:12] Gen
    That's super suspicious.
[06:15] Gen
    It's using the word "speaker" to try to
[06:17] Gen
    communicate something
    only to modern humans.
[06:21] Gen
    And it's tale number 14.
[06:25] Gen
    One and four, or "i" and "shi,"
    as in "ishi (stone)."
[06:29] Gen
    It's your birthday.
[06:32] (Flashback) Ruri
    It's said that these are the graves of
    Byakuya-sama and the other founders.
[06:39] Senku
    My old man's gravestone...
[06:41] Senku
    The cemetery!
[06:53] Kinro
    What do you think you're doing,
    Senku? That's sacrilege!
[06:56] Chrome
    What? Is there something
    about that gravestone?
[07:01] Senku
    I should have noticed a lot sooner.
[07:04] Senku
    That man is such a pain in the ass.
[07:06] Senku
    Just the gravestones of the founders?
[07:09] Senku
    Now that I think about it,
    that's ten billion percent bull.
[07:14] Senku
    This isn't a gravestone.
[07:16] Senku
    It's a time capsule that's
    been kept solid in concrete.
[07:22] Kohaku
    A time capsule?
[07:24] Chrome
    Is there something inside it?
[07:27] Senku
    Yeah, we need to break it to get inside.
[07:29] Magma
    We're breaking it, then?!
[07:32] Senku
    Hold it, meat head!
[07:34] Senku
    If I'm right, there's glass in this.
[07:37] Senku
    We're going to need someone with both
    power and speed to crack it swiftly.
[07:46] Crowd
    So fast!
[07:51] Suika
    There's something inside!
[07:53] Suika
    It's some kind of silver chunk.
[08:00] Senku
    It's silver because it's
    wrapped in aluminum foil.
[08:04] Senku
    If we wash it with hydrochloric acid...
[08:10] Chrome
    It's actually glass!
[08:12] Suika
    A saucer?
[08:13] Gen
    It looks like they cut out the
    bottom of a bottle or something.
[08:16] Senku
    A saucer.
[08:18] Senku
    Speaker.
[08:19] Senku
    Speaking with needles.
[08:23] Senku
    Does that remind you of anything?
[08:28] Gen
    It's a record!
[08:30] Senku
    My dad and the crew's voices are on there.
[08:35] Senku
    They bothered to leave us a voice recording.
[08:38] Senku
    Let's hear what they had to say.
[08:42] Senku
    I'll kill you if it isn't something exhilarating,
[08:46] Senku
    you deadbeat dad.
[08:49] Ruri
    Chrome was right.
[08:52] Ruri
    Science truly is beautiful.
[08:54] Ruri
    It lets Senku-san's father
    speak to him from heaven.
[09:02] Ruri
    Now, thousands of years later,
    traveling through time with science.
[09:17] Chrome
    Hey, Senku...
[09:18] Chrome
    Does that mean that "record"
    thing can trap sound?
[09:22] Suika
    B-B-But you can't even catch sound.
[09:26] Kohaku
    I'm so confused.
[09:28] Kohaku
    How?
[09:29] Senku
    The way a record works
    is ridiculously simple.
[09:33] Gen
    Hella lit!
[09:36] Senku
    You make a needle vibrate with sound,
    which digs grooves into the record.
[09:40] Senku
    And then, if you run a needle
    over the grooves to vibrate it,
[09:44] Senku
    it'll make the same sounds that dug them.
[09:47] Gen
    Hella lit!
[09:49] Kaseki
    Digging grooves in glass
    makes it store sound?
[09:54] Kaseki
    That's a surprise.
[09:55] Chrome
    Senku's dad is awesome!
[09:57] Senku
    Nah, that's not true.
[10:00] Senku
    Byakuya couldn't have done it.
[10:02] Senku
    It must have been the people
    with him that made it.
[10:05] Senku
    Astronauts are all science elites.
[10:09] Senku
    All of them except Byakuya,
    who got in by luck.
[10:13] Senku
    Although he might have been the
    one who came up with the idea.
[10:17] Senku
    He's the only one who'd
    think of something so lame.
[10:34] (Flashback) Byakuya
    I bet we could make a record if
    we used the bottom of a bottle.
[10:38] (Flashback) Connie
    Th-That sounds like a good idea.
[10:41] (Flashback) Connie
    Glass is a lot more durable than plastic.
[10:43] (Flashback) Connie
    Preserved correctly, it could
    last tens of thousands of years.
[10:46] (Flashback) Lilian
    Huh...
[10:48] (Flashback) Lilian
    Did you know that?
[10:49] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Not at all.
[10:51] (Flashback) Byakuya
    I just thought it could work because it's round.
[10:53] (Flashback) Shamil
    You could have just said "yes," pops.
[10:57] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Well, anyway, that's that.
    So give me a hand, guys.
[11:04] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Hey, they left.
[11:06] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Come on! Be nicer to the old man!
[11:10] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Shamil!
[11:13] (Flashback) Shamil
    We don't have enough parts, old man.
[11:16] (Flashback) Shamil
    There might be something
    we can use on the Soyuz.
[11:28] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Hey!
[11:30] (Flashback) Byakuya
    I found something!
[11:34] (Flashback) Byakuya
    My buddy, the electric shaver!
[11:39] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Sorry, mister shaver.
    Your motor won't go to waste.
[11:46] Senku
    We can make a record player pretty
    easily using the things we've made so far.
[11:52] Senku
    We'll use the gear from
    the cotton candy machine.
[11:54] Suika
    I went and got it.
[11:57] Kohaku
    Destroying Father's shield was well worth it.
[12:00] Kohaku
    It's doing so much good.
[12:02] Kokuyo
    Your father's happy as long
    as it's useful to you.
[12:09] Gen
    This is how people become cogs
    in society as they get older.
[12:14] Gen
    Literally.
[12:15] Senku
    No one asked for your words of wisdom.
[12:20] Ruri
    I'm back.
[12:21] Ruri
    I use this when I'm knitting.
[12:25] Senku
    This is perfect.
[12:28] Senku
    A bone needle.
[12:30] Senku
    The playback side of making
    a record is dead easy.
[12:33] Senku
    Recording is another matter.
[12:36] Senku
    You're cutting glass,
    so you need a hard rock.
[12:40] Chrome
    Like corundum or diamond, right?
[12:44] (Flashback) Dalia
    Please, use this.
[12:48] (Flashback) Byakuya
    I don't know...
[12:51] (Flashback) Yakov
    It's diamond.
[12:53] (Flashback) Lilian
    Isn't that your wedding ring?
[12:55] (Flashback) Lilian
    You can't. That's too important.
[12:59] (Flashback) Dalia
    I don't wear it all the time, anyway.
[13:01] (Flashback) Dalia
    It gets in the way.
[13:02] (Flashback) Dalia
    I'm sure the diamond will be happier
    serving as a record needle.
[13:06] (Flashback) Lilian
    But in exchange,
[13:08] (Flashback) Lilian
    you have to let us in on building
    the recorder and making recordings.
[13:14] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Thanks, guys.
[13:27] Chrome
    Yeah!
[13:28] Chrome
    That took no time at all!
SIGN    Record player
    acquired!!
[13:37] Woman
    What's going on?
[13:38] Man A
    Apparently, we're going to hear
    the voices of the founders.
[13:41] Man B
    The founders?
[13:43] Man B
    The voices of people from
    thousands of years ago?
[13:46] Senku
    All right.
[13:48] Senku
    Let's spin it, Ginro.
[13:49] Ginro
    Okay.
[13:50] Ginro
    I've gotten good at spinning this,
    from the cotton candy machine.
[14:06] Byakuya
    I don't know who's listening to this,
[14:09] Byakuya
    hundreds, maybe thousands
    of years from now...
[14:14] Byakuya
    But I'm the astronaut Ishigami Byakuya.
[14:20] Senku
    Shut up. I can't hear.
[14:23] Kokuyo
    This is the voice of the
    founder of Ishigami Village...
[14:26] Kohaku
    Senku's father's actual voice!
[14:31] Byakuya
    Just kidding!
[14:33] Byakuya
    That's it for the stuffy formalities.
[14:38] (Flashback) Byakuya
    You revived from the petrification, and
    now you're listening to this recording.
[14:44] Byakuya
    Senku, it's you, isn't it?
[14:47] Byakuya
    I can tell.
[14:49] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Hundreds, thousands, maybe an
    unthinkable number of years later,
[14:55] (Flashback) Byakuya
    I'm making my final call to you.
[14:59] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Not that I can hear you...
[15:03] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Senku, don't forget.
[15:06] (Flashback) Byakuya
    I've always, always...
[15:12] Byakuya
    Nah, you don't need that dramatic
    father-and-son crap, do you?
[15:17] Byakuya
    Let's get right to business.
[15:20] Senku
    You really do get it.
[15:21] Kohaku
    He's so cold to his father.
[15:24] Kokuyo
    You're really not any better, Kohaku.
[15:30] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Senku, if you're still having a hard time
[15:33] (Flashback) Byakuya
    winning over the hearts of the villagers,
[15:38] (Flashback) Byakuya
    let them hear this.
[15:46] (Flashback) Byakuya
    To those for whom the
    light of music has dimmed!
[16:22] (Flashback) Lilian
    Why a record, all of a sudden?
[16:24] (Flashback) Byakuya
    I've been thinking the whole time...
[16:27] (Flashback) Byakuya
    How do we keep all the
    knowledge and fun stuff that
[16:30] (Flashback) Byakuya
    humanity's come up with
    from disappearing?
[16:34] (Flashback) Byakuya
    Besides...
[16:36] (Flashback) Byakuya
    I wanted to leave something that would
    be exhilarating for Senku to hear.
[17:57] Ruri
    Song...
[17:58] Suika
    But it's too pretty.
[18:01] Kaseki
    It's the voice of an angel.
[18:04] Ginro
    It's so amazing!
[18:06] Ginro
    The song is so...
[18:08] Ginro
    It's so amazing!
[18:09] Ginro
    It's amazing!
[18:09] Kinro
    Your vocabulary...
[18:11] Gen
    Lillian-chan was one of the
    top singers of our age.
[18:16] Gen
    Imagine that being the first song you hear.
[18:19] Chrome
    Oh, man.
[18:20] Chrome
    Two million years of humanity...
[18:23] Chrome
    Oh, man!
[18:24] Chrome
    Senku, was there all kinds of awesome
    music like this in the past?
[18:30] Senku
    Yeah.
[18:31] Senku
    And not just music.
[18:33] Senku
    Games, TV, comics, movies...
[18:38] Senku
    All entertainment that science made possible.
[18:44] Senku
    There was a ton of incredibly
    fun stuff all over the world.
[18:49] Senku
    The real thing's gone now, but it's all there...
[18:57] Senku
    in people's hearts.
[19:03] Senku
    I'm going to let all of you see it,
[19:06] Senku
    once we take down the Tsukasa Empire
    and revive all the world's statues.
[19:15] Suika
    I really want to see everything!
[19:17] Kohaku
    This is so damn exciting!
[19:20] Kinro
    All the world's statues!
[19:22] Ginro
    Let's revive them all!
[19:24] Magma
    So our first step is to take down the
    so-called Tsukasa Empire, is that right?
[19:29] Chrome
    This is awesome.
[19:31] Chrome
    Everyone's totally pumped!
[19:33] Gen
    Your dad's got skill.
[19:37] Gen
    He's motivated the entire village
[19:37] Kokuyo
    We must defeat the enemy quickly
    and revive all those statues.
[19:39] Gen
    to revive all the people
    who've been petrified.
[19:41] Kokuyo
    Yes.
[19:43] Gen
    All with just Lillian-chan's singing.
[19:46] Gen
    Doesn't this also wash away
    your guilt for having dragged
[19:51] Gen
    the villagers into a war?
[19:57] Senku
    I've never had that kind of guilt.
[20:06] Kohaku
    Senku.
[20:10] Kohaku
    You actually made what you
    said that day come true.
[20:17] Kohaku
    Just like you said on
    the day we first met...
[20:25] Kohaku
    This whole village has
    become a nation of science.
[20:33] Kohaku
    So it's finally beginning.
[20:35] Kohaku
    The battle between the kingdom of
    science and the Tsukasa Empire.
[20:39] Chrome
    Yeah!
[20:40] Chrome
    We better get that second cell
    phone built and bring it over.
[20:44] Gen
    Which means, Senku-chan,
    those two are finally up to bat.
[20:49] Senku
    Yeah.
[20:50] Senku
    We're finally connecting.
[20:53] Senku
    The entire kingdom of science,
    the whole of its might.
[21:01] Yuzuriha
    It's almost been a year now, huh?
[21:05] Taiju
    Yeah.
[21:07] Taiju
    We're waiting for you, Sen—
[21:09] Yuzuriha
    Don't raise your voice, Taiju-kun!
[21:11] Taiju
    Shoot! That's right!
[21:16] Taiju
    Senku...
[21:31] Hyoga
    Spring is not far off.
[21:34] Tsukasa
    Yeah.
[21:36] Tsukasa
    The final battle with Senku is near.
[21:41] Tsukasa
    Now...
[21:42] Tsukasa
    Let's snuff the flame of science forever
    and build a new, untarnished world.
[21:59] Senku
    The final battle against the
    Tsukasa Empire, on our home turf...
[22:04] Senku
    It's the beginning of the Stone Wars.
[22:16] Senku
    This is exhilarating.
