**[00:53] (Flashback) Senku**
We have them thinking I'm dead.
**[00:56] (Flashback) Senku**
You'd better visit my grave regularly.
**[01:03] Yuzuruiha**
Taiju-kun.
**[01:06] Yuzuruiha**
Look.
**[01:07] Yuzuruiha**
Someone's dug it up at some point.
**[01:10] Taiju**
You're right.
**[01:11] Taiju**
Good eye, Yuzuriha. I'm impressed.
**[01:15] Yuzuruiha**
Do you think Senku-kun and the
others buried something for us?
**[01:22] Yuzuruiha**
But what should we do?
**[01:23] Yuzuruiha**
There are guards watching.
**[01:25] Yuzuruiha**
We can't dig it up with a shovel.
**[01:28] Nikki**
*They're visiting that grave day after day.*
**[01:31] Nikki**
* What, are they talking*
* to the dead or something?*
**[01:35] Taiju**
I've got this.
**[01:46] Taiju**
I-Is this...
**[02:00] Senku**
*Yo.*
**[02:13] Taiju**
Senku!
**[02:21] Senku**
I missed this all so much, I could cry.
**[02:26] Senku**
Including your ridiculously loud voice.
**[02:32] Ginro**
Is this the guy we've heard so much about?!
**[02:33] Kohaku**
So that's Taiju!
**[02:36] Kaseki**
It finally connected!
**[02:39] Kaseki**
Our cell phone hot line,
over an absurd distance!
**[02:43] Taiju**
Senku!
**[02:47] Senku**
It's been just about a year, huh?
**[02:52] Taiju**
Senku!
**[02:53] Taiju**
I... Senku...
**[02:58] Taiju**
*I...*
**[02:59] Taiju**
*Senku!*
**[03:01] Taiju**
I...
**[03:02] Taiju**
Senku!
**[03:04] Taiju**
I am Senku!
**[03:08] Taiju**
*I am Senku!*
**[03:08] Senku**
No, you're not.
**[03:10] Senku**
*I'm* Senku.
***SIGN*** Call from the Dead
**[04:49] Taiju**
*Senku!*
**[04:52] Kokuyo**
The "cell phone," was it?
**[04:55] Kokuyo**
To think it really allows him to speak
to his friend over such a distance...
**[04:58] Kokuyo**
It's so impressive, I don't
even know what to think.
**[05:01] Ruri**
The voice of science known as
"radio waves" flies through the air,
**[05:06] Ruri**
connecting the faraway enemy
base with this village, Father!
**[05:13] Senku**
Are you done crying yet, you big oaf?
**[05:16] Senku**
My ear's rotting.
**[05:18] Taiju**
Sorry.
**[05:19] Taiju**
I'm just so happy.
**[05:20] Yuzuruiha**
Senku-kun...
**[05:22] Senku**
*Hey, Yuzuriha.*
**[05:24] Yuzuruiha**
You worked up to cell phones
in just a year, huh?
**[05:29] Yuzuruiha**
You're amazing. Not that I didn't know that.
**[05:34] Nikki**
*What's going on? He's been screaming all day.*
**[05:37] Nikki**
* Is it the anniversary of*
* his death or something?*
**[05:39] Senku**
I'd love to sit here shaking in
the awe of our cell phones working
**[05:43] Senku**
as we reminisce about old
times for ten billion years...
**[05:48] Senku**
But I think you're gonna have to get going.
**[05:52] Senku**
*I'll get straight to the point.*
**[05:55] Senku**
First, tear someone away from Tsukasa-kun's
army and drag them to the cell phone.
**[06:02] Senku**
*Make up any reason you need to.*
**[06:04] Senku**
*I'll fill in the details.*
**[06:07] Kaseki**
Are you sure you don't need to rehearse this?
**[06:10] Kohaku**
I don't think he has an option, so long
as there are guards watching them.
**[06:15] Senku**
In fact, Taiju, it's better
that you don't know anything.
**[06:18] Senku**
Just believe everything I say like the
idiot you are, even if it sounds crazy.
**[06:21] Ginro**
That's so half-assed!
**[06:23] Ginro**
I'd be mad if I were Taiju-kun!
**[06:28] Taiju**
*Senku, let me make sure of one thing.*
**[06:33] Taiju**
That's the best way to avoid
bloodshed, is that right?
**[06:38] Senku**
Yeah.
**[06:40] Senku**
That's the best way to avoid bloodshed.
**[06:43] Taiju**
*All right, I got it, Senku.*
**[06:46] Taiju**
* If that's what you think,*
* I don't need any more explanation.*
**[06:54] Kohaku**
Even after a year apart,
their trust is unwavering.
**[06:59] Kohaku**
I think I see why Senku and
Taiju survived against Tsukasa.
**[07:05] Senku**
We don't have much time left until the
Tsukasa Army makes its full assault.
**[07:10] Senku**
Gen will be back tomorrow or so.
**[07:12] Senku**
The mission begins immediately.
**[07:15] Senku**
* Have you gotten any messages*
* from Gen and the others?*
**[07:18] Taiju**
No, I haven't heard anything.
**[07:21] Taiju**
All I saw was the receiver buried
really deep in the ground.
**[07:27] Kaseki**
That would have put the phone
at risk of being found.
**[07:31] Kaseki**
That doesn't sound like Gen.
**[07:33] Suika**
S-Something must have happened.
**[07:47] Magma**
Why are we hiding in these bushes?!
**[07:50] Magma**
Let's go murder any enemies we see!
**[07:54] Chrome**
Yeah, if only we knew where they were!
**[07:55] Gen**
Shh!
**[07:56] Chrome**
You're the type that gets mowed down on
the battlefield right off the bat, Magma!
**[08:01] Gen**
The enemy's name is Ukyo-chan.
**[08:04] Gen**
He's got insane hearing.
**[08:08] Chrome**
These bushes are bad, then.
**[08:11] Gen**
Bingo.
**[08:13] Gen**
If we hide in these bushes,
**[08:14] Gen**
we'll be making rustling
noises everywhere we go.
**[08:17] Gen**
And he's definitely going to shoot us.
**[08:20] Gen**
In fact, we didn't come to these bushes to hide.
**[08:24] Gen**
We were *lured* here.
**[08:28] Chrome**
Damn it!
**[08:29] Chrome**
We need to get Gen back
to the Kingdom of Science,
**[08:32] Chrome**
even if we don't make it.
**[08:33] Chrome**
Then we could begin the cell phone
operation to take down the Tsukasa Empire.
**[08:40] Magma**
If we only need to get
Gen home, I have a plan.
**[08:44] Magma**
First, Chrome, you charge out.
**[08:47] Magma**
And I follow.
**[08:49] Chrome**
Ooh!
**[08:50] Chrome**
And then what?
**[08:52] Magma**
He's shooting from over there!
**[08:55] Magma**
Found you!
**[08:57] Magma**
Smash!
**[09:00] Chrome**
Oh, of course!
**[09:02] Chrome**
Wait, no!
**[09:02] Gen**
Shh!
**[09:03] Chrome**
I'll die if we do that!
**[09:05] Magma**
What the hell?
**[09:06] Magma**
You're only worried about your own life.
**[09:10] Magma**
What a selfish bastard.
**[09:12] Chrome**
Says you!
**[09:14] Chrome**
Why would I be bait for him?
**[09:17] Chrome**
Bait...
**[09:25] Chrome**
The spare battery we tried
to give Taiju and Yuzuriha.
**[09:28] Chrome**
The "positive" and "negative," was it?
**[09:30] Chrome**
Whatever, I just need to connect the ends,
**[09:32] Chrome**
and the wire will heat up like crazy.
**[09:36] Chrome**
The noise and smoke would
give away our position
**[09:39] Chrome**
if we sat there rubbing wood to start a fire.
**[09:42] Chrome**
But with science, it's instant.
**[09:48] Chrome**
Oh, shit!
**[09:52] Chrome**
Oh, shit!
**[09:55] Gen**
*He's hiding under the smoke and screaming*
**[09:57] Gen**
* to drown out the sound of me*
* running through the bushes.*
**[10:03] Magma**
I love it.
**[10:04] Magma**
This is way better than just lying in wait.
**[10:07] Chrome**
Oh, shit!
**[10:18] Chrome**
*That's it, Gen!*
**[10:20] Chrome**
* You have to go, or we'll be making*
* ourselves bait for nothing.*
**[10:23] Chrome**
* You've got the insanely important*
* task of talking people*
**[10:27] Chrome**
*from Tsukasa's army into joining our side!*
**[10:29] Magma**
I'll beat you to death if you
don't make it home alive!
**[10:33] Chrome**
Oh, shit!
**[10:51] Yuzuruiha**
*I already know who to bring to our side first.*
**[10:58] Taiju**
There's something I want you to hear.
**[11:02] Yuzuruiha**
*With the guard on our side,*
**[11:05] Yuzuruiha**
* we should be able to slowly bring everyone*
* in the Tsukasa Empire onto our side.*
**[11:21] Kaseki**
I made some kind of copper swirly!
***SIGN*** m 0 0 l 0 -35 l 85 -35 l 85 35 l -85 35 l -85 -35 l 0 -35
***SIGN*** Clock spring
acquired!!
**[11:29] Suika**
The record's spinning so smoothly!
**[11:32] Senku**
Spinning it manually messes up the song,
because it's hard to keep a steady speed.
**[11:37] Senku**
* Even with the record playing perfectly,*
* without Gen here, it's all for nothing.*
**[11:43] Senku**
* Yuzuriha and Taiju are about to bring*
* their target to the cell phone.*
**[11:47] Senku**
* If Gen doesn't get home*
* by then, it's game over.*
**[11:56] Gen**
So, Senku-chan, who's the
first one I need to win over?
**[12:01] Kohaku**
Gen!
**[12:02] Suika**
You're okay!
**[12:06] Taiju**
Nikki-san, was it?
**[12:08] Taiju**
I'd like to talk.
**[12:09] Taiju**
Hear me out.
**[12:10] Nikki**
I won't!
**[12:12] Nikki**
My job is to watch over you two.
**[12:15] Nikki**
I'm making sure you aren't meeting
**[12:17] Nikki**
with anyone in secret or
doing anything suspicious.
**[12:20] Nikki**
Tsukasa would tell me not to let
you find out, but I don't care.
**[12:24] Nikki**
You two already know, don't you?
**[12:27] Nikki**
Taiju, Yuzuriha, I have no intention
of getting chummy with either of you.
**[12:32] Nikki**
Give it up.
**[12:34] Nikki**
The only word I'll accept in response is "yes."
**[12:38] Nikki**
Say any more than that, and I'll pound you.
**[12:40] Taiju**
I don't care!
**[12:44] Nikki**
I said, say any more, and I'll pound you!
**[12:50] Nikki**
*It hasn't hurt him at all.*
**[12:52] Nikki**
*No, it has.*
**[12:54] Nikki**
*He's toughing it out.*
**[12:56] Taiju**
That's fine.
**[12:58] Taiju**
You can punch me on every second word.
**[13:01] Taiju**
But in exchange, hear me out!
**[13:05] Taiju**
Hear what my friend has
to say! It's important!
**[13:19] Nikki**
What is that?
**[13:23] Nikki**
You're kidding! A phone?!
**[13:25] Nikki**
In this world? How?
**[13:29] Genlian**
Hi! I'm Lillian Weinberg.
**[13:34] Taiju**
I don't know much, but even I know
that she's an American singer.
**[13:38] Taiju**
Do you know her, Nikki?
**[13:41] Nikki**
Do you think I'm stupid?
**[13:43] Nikki**
Of course I do.
**[13:46] Senku**
And I'm her interpreter, Sebastian.
**[13:50] Taiju**
*Sebastian?*
**[13:51] Taiju**
*Wait, that's Senku's voice!*
**[13:54] Taiju**
* No, he said not to say anything,*
* even if it sounds crazy.*
**[13:58] Genlian**
*Hello? I'm calling from USA.*
**[14:02] Senku**
*"I'm calling from America."*
**[14:04] Genlian**
*Everyone in Japan, please listen to me.*
**[14:07] Senku**
*"Please listen to me, everyone in Japan."*
**[14:10] Genlian**
*USA is back from the stone.*
**[14:12] Senku**
*"America is back from stone."*
**[14:16] Taiju**
What?!
**[14:17] Taiju**
Did you hear that, you two?!
**[14:19] Taiju**
We're saved!
**[14:21] Yuzuruiha**
*Wow, is that what's going on?*
**[14:24] Yuzuruiha**
*I think I've figured out their plan.*
**[14:27] Yuzuruiha**
* I can at least tell that*
* Senku-kun's trying to play her.*
**[14:32] Nikki**
Hold it.
**[14:34] Nikki**
First...
**[14:38] Nikki**
Lillian was in space at the time.
**[14:41] Genlian**
Yup.
**[14:42] Genlian**
As soon as we returned to
Earth, we were petrified.
**[14:45] Genlian**
We only recently got restored.
**[14:55] Nikki**
Lillian...
**[14:57] Nikki**
I...
**[14:59] Nikki**
I was saved so much by your
songs, you have no idea!
**[15:02] Nikki**
I had such a rough time
at school, being so butch...
**[15:05] Nikki**
And you saved me!
**[15:10] Nikki**
I'd do anything to help you.
**[15:16] Nikki**
But if someone's pretending
to be Lillian Weinberg...
**[15:21] Nikki**
I'll make certain they're dead!
**[15:23] Gen**
*Yeah, this is bad.*
**[15:27] Senku**
*She's legit.*
**[15:29] Senku**
*We've hit a super-fan right off the bat.*
**[15:32] Gen**
You know, I've always noticed...
**[15:34] Gen**
Your luck of the draw really sucks, huh?
**[15:37] Gen**
The first person you
revived was Tsukasa-chan,
**[15:39] Gen**
lightning strikes right before you're ready...
**[15:42] Nikki**
*I can't help...*
**[15:44] Nikki**
but notice something's off about your voice.
**[15:46] Nikki**
If you're the real Lillian, I'm truly sorry.
**[15:50] Nikki**
Could you answer some questions
so I know you're real?
**[15:56] Nikki**
If you're really her, you would know.
**[16:00] Nikki**
How many CDs have you sold in total?
**[16:04] Yuzuruiha**
* What are you going to do,*
* Senku-kun, Gen-kun?*
**[16:07] Yuzuruiha**
*There's no way you'd know!*
**[16:09] Gen**
We've got three options.
**[16:12] Genlian**
My memory got wiped when I was petrified!
**[16:15] Gen**
One: dodge the question.
**[16:17] Genlian**
The answer is ten billion copies.
**[16:19] Gen**
Two: guess.
**[16:20] Genlian**
That's so rude! I'm gonna get angry!
**[16:22] Gen**
Three: snap.
**[16:24] Gen**
What should we do, Senku-chan?
**[16:29] Senku**
Four: answer correctly.
**[16:33] Senku**
Here's a back-of-napkin Fermi
estimate—a logical approximation.
**[16:37] Senku**
A seat on the Soyuz spaceship costs
50 million dollars, or five billion yen.
**[16:42] Senku**
Supposing Lillian has double that
in cash, or ten billion yen,
**[16:45] Senku**
and given that singers of her caliber
pull in roughly ten times that on tour,
**[16:48] Senku**
we find what she makes in royalties.
**[16:54] Senku**
At least 60 million copies.
**[16:56] Senku**
I don't know how much more.
**[16:58] Gen**
Okay, perfect.
**[17:00] Gen**
Now it's up to me.
**[17:04] Genlian**
We had a "50 million copies sold"
party a while ago,
**[17:08] Genlian**
but CDs don't make up the majority of
my sales anymore, so I don't remember.
**[17:12] Genlian**
Sorry.
**[17:12] Genlian**
Should I wake up my manager?
**[17:15] Nikki**
No...
**[17:17] Nikki**
She's right.
**[17:20] Nikki**
Then, one more question.
**[17:23] Nikki**
If you can say this number, I'll believe you.
**[17:26] Gen**
We've got this, Senku-chan!
**[17:28] Gen**
If it's just hard numbers we're dealing with,
you can use your Fermi-whatchamacallit, right?
**[17:33] Nikki**
What are your measurements?
**[17:36] Gen**
Just give me something rough!
**[17:38] Gen**
Even if it's not perfect,
I can tell her I changed!
***SIGN*** I'm counting on you.
The other one is this diva
named Lillian Weinberg.
Apparently she bought
a ticket for $50 million.
***SIGN*** Huh.
***SIGN*** Senku!
***SIGN*** Check out this photo I got with
my buddies at the Russian base!!
**[17:49] Senku**
*I gotta estimate from memory.*
**[17:51] Senku**
* Byakuya's height, the*
* sizes of the equipment...*
**[17:54] Senku**
*Use that to calculate her proportions!*
**[17:58] Senku**
88-65-85.
**[18:06] Gen**
You look way skinnier in your profile photos.
**[18:09] Senku**
*How am I supposed to know?!*
**[18:11] Senku**
* She's obviously shopping*
* her photos for her fans!*
**[18:13] Senku**
*She's a professional!*
**[18:14] Genlian**
Well, those are my *actual* proportions!
**[18:19] Nikki**
Of course. Lillian would never
tell her fans her real proportions.
**[18:25] Nikki**
She's a professional, even in this world.
**[18:28] Nikki**
She'd keep the fantasy alive for her fans!
**[18:31] Nikki**
You aren't the real Lillian Weinberg!
**[18:37] Gen**
*This is seriously bad.*
**[18:39] Gen**
*Should we chance it and play her song?*
**[18:41] Gen**
* No, but if a super-fan heard her*
* voice after she heard mine,*
**[18:45] Gen**
*she'd pick up on it immediately.*
**[18:47] Gen**
*Should I keep talking at her?*
**[18:50] Gen**
*Or...*
**[18:54] Senku**
We're playing the record.
**[18:56] Senku**
The sound quality's better now,
with the clock spring.
**[18:59] Senku**
We're betting on science over BS.
**[19:09] Taiju**
Mu...
**[19:11] Yuzuriha**
...sic!
**[19:32] Yuzuriha**
*Amazing...*
**[19:33] Yuzuriha**
*But how?*
**[19:41] Nikki**
Yeah, it's real.
**[19:44] Nikki**
Only the song is real.
**[19:46] Nikki**
I'd never mistake it for anything else.
**[19:49] Nikki**
You could never fake it.
**[19:52] Nikki**
Do you have any idea how much I...
**[19:59] Nikki**
How many times I listened to this?!
**[20:12] Nikki**
Lillian doesn't exist in this world anymore.
**[20:15] Nikki**
Am I right?
**[20:21] Senku**
Yeah, that's right.
**[20:24] Nikki**
But she lives on forever, if only in
this song you brought back to life.
**[20:41] Nikki**
This is a science question.
**[20:43] Nikki**
Could you use your power to
bring back Lillian's other songs?
**[20:49] Gen**
Yes!
**[20:49] Senku**
Senku-chan, you have to say *yes*!
**[20:53] Gen**
No way in hell.
**[20:55] Senku**
All those wimpy recording mediums have
turned to dust, ten billion percent.
**[21:01] Senku**
I can only promise you one thing.
**[21:05] Senku**
I'll protect this one last song for you,
**[21:10] Senku**
with the power of science.
**[21:16] Nikki**
You're pretty awkward, aren't you?
**[21:19] Nikki**
I could tell right away.
**[21:21] Nikki**
You're always honest about science.
**[21:24] Nikki**
It's something to have faith in.
**[21:28] Nikki**
I might fall in love with you.
**[21:29] Senku**
No, seriously, don't.
**[21:36] Senku**
I need to protect this record
with my life in order to trick
**[21:40] Senku**
Tsukasa's troops and bring them to our side.
**[21:44] Senku**
And you want to preserve the
song, even if it kills you.
**[21:48] Senku**
We're on the same team.
**[21:54] Nikki**
All right.
**[21:56] Nikki**
We have a deal.
**[21:57] Nikki**
I'll cooperate with your plan!
**[22:02] Yuzuriha**
Thank you, Nikki-san!
**[22:03] Taiju**
We've done it! Finally!
**[22:05] Taiju**
We finally have an ally
in the Tsukasa Empire!
