[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!

    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!
