[00:30] Kohaku
    The oil search is going a lot faster
    with the birth of the camera.
[00:36] Kaseki
    Good job, my adorable little cameras!
[00:39] Kaseki
    With just our eyes, Kohaku-chan,
    we were entirely dependent on you.
[00:48] Gen
    Hey, ground search team, howdy do?
[00:51] Gen
    There's a suspicious blur just past
[00:54] Gen
    the big river beyond Mount Fuji.
[00:59] Gen
    Okies, thanks for checking it out.
[01:01] Chrome
    Gotcha, we're on it.
[01:08] Senku
    We're going to take ten billion aerial
    photos by the time winter arrives.
[01:13] Senku
    There's no finding jack once
    everything's covered in snow.
[01:18] Ryusui
    We'll find it by then.
[01:21] Ryusui
    The black jewel sleeping
    in the ground... Oil!
SIGN    First Contact
[03:18] Chrome
    Where the hell is the oil?
[03:24] Chrome
    Ow!
[03:28] Chrome
    Chestnuts...
[03:33] Kaseki
    These aerial photos are great
    for overwintering prep!
[03:38] Ruri
    We're deep into fall now.
[03:40] Ruri
    The season of harvest.
[03:46] Taiju
    It grew in just a few months!
[03:48] Taiju
    Wheat is amazing!
[03:51] Nikki
    No wonder it was chosen
    as a staple worldwide.
[03:53] Ginro
    It's a buffet!
[04:13] Yo
    F-Farming is back torture.
[04:16] Taiju
    Not to worry, Yo!
[04:18] Taiju
    Leave the rest to me!
[04:19] Taiju
    I'm still good to keep going!
[04:20] Maguma
    You're the only one with
    infinite strength, idiot.
[04:25] Kinro
    The yields from agriculture are orders
    of magnitude more than from hunting.
[04:28] Kinro
    So is what it takes out of you.
[04:30] Yuzuriha
    I can see why they didn't bother with
    it until there were more people.
[04:37] Ryusui
    Now that we, humanity,
    have acquired a staple crop,
[04:40] Ryusui
    it's time to open the
    three-star Francois restaurant!
[04:45] Francois
    Understood.
[04:47] Francois
    I'll begin developing the menu immediately.
[04:50] Francois
    Allow me to peruse the aerial
    photos for ingredient reference.
[04:53] Senku
    Not a bad idea.
[04:55] Senku
    People are a bit done from the
    insane amount of work we have now.
[04:59] Senku
    You can't get muscles to work
    just through inspiration.
[05:03] Senku
    Work is science.
[05:05] Senku
    And the gasoline for humans
    is food, after all.
[05:08] Senku
    Ideally, something that gets us plenty
    of protein and preserves well...
[05:12] Ryusui
    Insanely delicious high-end gourmet cooking!
[05:15] Ryusui
    Let's see...
[05:16] Ryusui
    Truffles? Caviar? Foie gras?
[05:19] Gen
    No way. None of that's ever happening.
[05:21] Gen
    We don't even have the ingredients.
[05:26] Ryusui
    "Not possible"?
[05:27] Ryusui
    I've never heard those words
    come out of Francois's mouth.
[05:32] Ryusui
    Just watch.
[05:34] Francois
    High-end gourmet protein that preserves well.
[05:39] Francois
    Understood.
[05:41] Francois
    Then the dish to be prepared is
    boar rillettes with black truffle.
[05:46] Gen
    T-Truffle?!
[05:48] Francois
    And, thinking this might happen,
    I've summoned the help
[05:52] Francois
    of the learned expert
    most knowledgeable of
[05:54] Francois
    the flora and fauna
    surrounding Ishigami Village.
[05:58] Chrome
    Learned...
[06:00] Kohaku
    ...expert?
[06:08] Suika
    Long time no see, everyone!
[06:11] Kohaku
    Suika!
[06:12] Gen
    Seriously, they're way too well-prepared.
[06:15] Ryusui
    That's Francois.
[06:25] Suika
    Let's see...
[06:27] Suika
    It's hard to tell what this
    long, stretchy blob is,
[06:30] Suika
    but it looks like it's rubbing
    its body against a branch.
[06:33] Suika
    I'm just guessing, but it might be a boar.
[06:50] Ryusui
    Boar meat!
[06:53] Gen
    So, meat aside, what do
    we do about the truffles?
[06:57] Gen
    They're so expensive that they're
    called "black diamonds."
[07:01] Francois
    You can find truffles growing in
    any ordinary forest around here.
[07:04] Francois
    Even in Japan.
[07:05] Gen
    Are you serious?!
[07:07] Kohaku
    I see, black mushrooms.
[07:11] Kohaku
    I spotted boars in aerial photos.
[07:13] Kohaku
    Is this a photo from that area, too?
[07:15] Kohaku
    With my eyesight...
[07:18] Ukyo
    I don't know if you're going to
    see mushrooms in an aerial photo.
[07:21] Chrome
    It's not even a matter of eyesight.
[07:24] Gen
    Who knows?
[07:25] Gen
    Kohaku-chan might pull it off.
[07:29] Gen
    It's true that she has ridiculous eyesight...
[07:33] Gen
    But maybe the real reason
    her eyes are so stupid-good
[07:37] Gen
    is because she has the
    observational skills of someone
[07:40] Gen
    who's lived their entire life in the wild.
[07:45] Kohaku
    I found them.
[07:47] Kohaku
    Black diamonds.
[07:50] Senku
    There's no way you're seeing
    mushrooms in that blurry-ass photo.
[07:54] Kohaku
    What is this black splotch, then?
[07:56] Chrome
    Now that you mention it, it's suspicious.
[07:59] Gen
    Proportionally, this looks about
    the size of a puddle, I think.
[08:06] Ryusui
    Could it be...
[08:08] Senku
    The black jewel seeping up to the surface...
[08:13] Senku
    This discovery's worth its weight in gold!
[08:17] Senku
    It's the super rare treasure trove
    we've been looking for this whole time!
[08:21] Senku
    The Sagara Oil Fields!
[08:29] Senku
    The photo's too blurry to
    tell where exactly it is.
[08:34] Ryusui
    Not a problem!
[08:35] Chrome
    We can narrow it down by
    splitting up on the ground!
[08:46] Francois
    Our task is to help
[08:48] Francois
    provide strength to the searchers by
    pampering them at a so-called restaurant.
[08:52] Suika
    We still haven't found our black
    diamond, the truffles, though.
[08:57] Francois
    Not to worry, Suika-sama.
[08:59] Francois
    The boars know what the
    black jewels smell like.
[09:09] Francois
    I'm not very knowledgeable about science,
[09:11] Francois
    but there's a famous anecdote that's
    common knowledge to any chef:
[09:15] Francois
    The scent of truffles has the same
    composition as boar love pheromones.
[09:20] Francois
    Because of that, they can root out
    truffles that are in the ground.
[09:27] Uribou
    Ooh! I found something!
[09:29] Uribou
    It's mine now!
[09:33] Francois
    Yup, here we go.
[09:36] Francois
    This is why we stopped using
    boars and pigs for hunting truffles.
[09:41] Suika
    It'll be okay, Francois!
[09:44] Suika
    Leave this to the Great Detective
    Duo, Suika and Chalk!
[09:53] Suika
    We just need my dog, Chalk, to go
    after the same scent along the ground.
[10:09] Chrome
    It's no use...
[10:11] Chrome
    Damn it, if only the photos were
    just a little more clear...
[10:16] Gen
    This is harsh.
[10:18] Gen
    Seriously.
[10:20] Ukyo
    We're looking for a puddle
    in this vast forest.
[10:24] Ukyo
    We need more hints.
[10:26] Kohaku
    Once it snows, any puddle
    will vanish without a trace.
[10:31] Kohaku
    We'll have to find it first,
[10:32] Kohaku
    or all we've accomplished so
    far will have been for nothing.
[10:37] Senku
    There's only so much my brain's good for.
[10:40] Senku
    I must be missing something...
[10:42] Senku
    Some hilariously large hint.
[10:44] Senku
    Somewhere around here in my hippocampus.
[10:47] (Flashback) Francois
    Then the dish to be prepared is
    boar rillettes with black truffle.
[10:51] (Flashback) Gen
    What do we do about the truffles?
[10:53] (Flashback) Gen
    They're so expensive that they're
    called "black diamonds."
[10:55] Kohaku
    I spotted boars in aerial photos.
[10:58] Kohaku
    Is this a photo from that area, too?
[10:59] (Flashback) Suika
    We still haven't found our black
    diamond, the truffles, though.
[11:03] Francois
    Not to worry, Suika-sama.
[11:05] Francois
    The boars know what the
    black jewels smell like.
[11:09] (Flashback) Francois
    The boars know what they smell like.
[11:13] Senku
    The boars!
[11:16] Senku
    That's how the Sagara Oil Fields
    were discovered in 1872.
[11:20] Gen
    I don't think anyone knows
    anything about that.
[11:24] Senku
    Wild boars love playing in the mud.
[11:28] Senku
    But they came across this
    boar that reeked of oil.
[11:33] Senku
    They were like, "What the hell?" So they
    set it loose and followed it, and...
[11:39] Suika
    We found the truffles, so we can make
    the dishes for the restaurant now!
[11:43] Francois
    Let's get started immediately.
[11:45] Francois
    First, we'll simmer the
    boar meat for the rillette.
[11:51] Francois
    This boar has a strange scent of oil.
[11:55] Senku
    Don't simmer him!
[12:06] Suika
    We want you to take us to where
    you were playing in the mud.
[12:10] Suika
    To where the black jewel, oil, is.
[12:13] Sagara
    Goink!
[12:20] Chrome
    Oh, man...
[12:21] Chrome
    She's already tamed it!
[12:23] Suika
    Thank you, Sagara!
[12:26] Kohaku
    Sagara?
[12:27] Kohaku
    You gave that boar a name?
[12:29] Senku
    It's our food, you know.
[12:31] Suika
    You gotta start with a name
    if you want to make friends.
[12:56] Kohaku
    This is definitely it.
[12:58] Kohaku
    The mysterious black puddle
    I saw in the aerial photo.
[13:09] Chrome
    Senku, what are you...
[13:17] Suika
    The dark mud water is burning,
    even though it's water!
[13:20] Kohaku
    And this is the power we're
    using to move the boat, right?
[13:23] Senku
    Yeah.
[13:25] Senku
    Humanity, even in this new world,
    has acquired oil, the king of resources.
[13:32] Senku
    We've discovered the Sagara Oil Fields!
SIGN    m 0 0 l 168 0 l 168 60 l 0 60
SIGN    Oil
    acquired!!
[13:46] Suika
    You did a big thing, Sagara!
[13:50] Suika
    But Francois is going to cook you now...
[13:55] Senku
    Francois.
[13:58] Senku
    Let's hear it from the chef.
[14:01] Senku
    Should we eat that boar?
[14:06] Francois
    No.
[14:07] Francois
    It smells of oil. It's unfit for consumption.
[14:09] Francois
    The smell is soaked in.
[14:11] Senku
    You heard them.
[14:13] Senku
    Take it, leave it, it's up to you.
[14:17] Suika
    Thank goodness!
[14:19] Suika
    We can be friends!
[14:22] Senku
    Gotta reward people for their
    accomplishments, or it won't improve morale.
[14:27] Ukyo
    You're right.
[14:28] Ukyo
    But is that really your reason?
[14:30] Senku
    What else would it be?
[14:44] Senku
    Let's get right to an oil test.
[14:47] Gen
    Is this...
[14:48] Senku
    A motorboat.
[14:50] Senku
    Oh, did you mean the engine?
[14:54] Senku
    It's a Stirling engine.
[14:56] Senku
    Remember the Stirling refrigerator
    we made to freeze Tsukasa?
[14:59] Senku
    The thing that creates a temperature
    difference when you pump a piston?
[15:02] Senku
    I'm just using it in reverse.
[15:03] Gen
    No, not that.
[15:05] Senku
    Working an engine using a
    temperature difference is...
[15:05] Gen
    I'm not asking about the engine.
[15:09] Ryusui
    With this boat, we can finally set out.
[15:12] Ryusui
    To the sea!
[15:14] Senku
    Depending on the quality of
    the Sagara Oil Fields, anyway.
[15:17] Gen
    Is it really safe to put
    this in? Are you sure?
[15:24] Taiju
    Hey, it's the love potion!
[15:26] Taiju
    Are you in love with someone, Senku?
[15:29] Senku
    Love potion?
[15:31] Gen
    What are you talking about, Taiju-chan?
[15:33] Taiju
    You made some for me that day, remember?
[15:37] Taiju
    So that I would have the confidence
    to confess to Yuzuriha.
[15:40] Taiju
    That last moment before we were petrified.
[15:44] (Flashback) Senku
    A drug that'll stimulate your
    pheromone output to the max.
[15:47] (Flashback) Senku
    A love potion, if you will.
[15:49] (Flashback) Senku
    Take this, and you're set,
    ten billion percent.
[15:57] Senku
    I did! I said that!
[15:58] Senku
    I told you it was a love potion!
[16:00] Senku
    You still believe that, you meathead?!
[16:02] Senku
    That was gasoline!
[16:04] Taiju
    What?! It was?!
[16:08] Senku
    If you think it smells the same
    with no prior knowledge,
[16:13] Senku
    it must be true.
[16:15] Senku
    The oil from the Sagara Oil Fields has
    the same five-to-twelve carbon content,
[16:18] Senku
    that of high-quality gasoline,
[16:20] Senku
    that I made from a plastic
    bottle cap that day.
[16:27] Ryusui
    Which means, Senku, the last thing you
    made using science in the old world
[16:32] Ryusui
    was gasoline.
[16:36] Ryusui
    And just this moment, we,
    in the new world, have caught up.
[16:41] Ryusui
    And now we're going to exceed that!
[16:50] Senku
    We're going! Everyone on board!
[16:57] Chrome
    Holy crap, it's freaking fast!
[17:00] Ryusui
    We're finally leaving Japan!
[17:03] Ryusui
    To a new world not yet touched by humanity!
[17:06] Ryusui
    To the open seas!
[17:07] Ryusui
    With a ship of science!
[17:16] Chrome
    Damn, the coast's already gone!
[17:21] Ryusui
    The horizon is only a few kilometers ahead.
[17:25] Chrome
    I've never been surrounded by the sea.
[17:30] Chrome
    It's lonely, like we're
    the only ones in this world.
[17:36] Ukyo
    Yup.
[17:37] Ukyo
    I did know in my head that
    70% of the world is water.
[17:42] Chrome
    I don't even know where we came from anymore.
[17:45] Chrome
    Are you sure we can get back home?
[17:47] Chrome
    And we're going hundreds of times
    farther when we hit the ocean, right?
[17:51] Chrome
    This is insane.
[17:53] Ryusui
    Not to worry.
[17:55] Ryusui
    We have our sextant!
[17:57] Gen
    Didn't you say it's trash quality?
[17:59] Senku
    Yeah.
[18:00] Senku
    We're betting all of our lives on it.
[18:03] Senku
    We want ten billion percent
    accurate coordinates.
[18:08] Gen
    Well, sure, we want that, but what are you making now, Senku-chan?
[18:14] Senku
    We're making a GPS.
[18:16] Ukyo
    G...
[18:17] Ryusui
    P...
[18:18] Gen
    S?!
[18:20] Senku
    Yeah.
[18:21] Senku
    It's in car navigation systems
    and phones and stuff.
[18:23] Senku
    It uses satellites to estimate your position.
[18:27] Chrome
    Car navigation?
[18:28] Chrome
    Satellites?
[18:29] Gen
    There's no way we're making satellites!
[18:31] Senku
    Obviously!
[18:33] Senku
    That's why we're using a massive
    land-based radio beacon.
[18:45] Ryusui
    We'll use the power of the water wheel,
    which is way more powerful than a battery.
[18:47] Ryusui
    to unleash the full potential
    of the cell phone!
[18:50] Suika
    Switch on!
[19:01] Senku
    Testing radio beacon.
[19:04] Senku
    Though we're depending on Ukyo-sama,
    our resident sonar operator.
[19:11] Senku
    We'll spin the antenna around randomly
    and get a rough estimate of our position
[19:15] Senku
    from the direction of the
    signal and its distance.
[19:17] Ukyo
    I love how analog and DIY
    the last part of it is.
[19:22] Ruri
    Can you tell which direction
    you're going from out on the sea?
[19:27] Chrome
    Yeah, perfectly!
[19:29] Ginro
    Ahem.
[19:31] Ginro
    Ruri-chwan.
[19:34] Ginro
    Remember that first phone
    call between you and Chrome?
[19:37] Ginro
    Chrome chickened out and
    couldn't tell you how he felt.
[19:41] (Flashback) Chrome
    Did you see that, Ruri?
    Pretty awesome, right?!
[19:43] (Flashback) Chrome
    Science is insane!
[19:47] Ginro
    So why don't you make the move this
    time, calling for the first time overseas?
[19:54] Ginro
    There's nothing wrong with the girl
    being the one to share her feelings.
[19:59] Ruri
    F-Feelings?
[20:02] Ruri
    What might you be talking about?
[20:15] Ruri
    Chrome...
[20:19] Ruri
    Everyone's...
[20:23] Gen
    Ah-ha, the famous trope!
[20:25] Gen
    Radio noise right when it's getting good.
[20:29] Ukyo
    It's not noise.
[20:33] Ukyo
    Why?
[20:34] Ukyo
    There's suddenly a powerful
    signal coming from somewhere.
[20:38] Ukyo
    It's so saturated, I can't even
    tell where it's coming from.
[20:43] Ryusui
    Plasma or something?
[20:44] Ukyo
    No.
[20:46] Ukyo
    It's not a natural phenomenon.
[20:48] Ukyo
    It's deliberate.
[20:50] Ukyo
    They're clearly using our
    frequency on purpose.
[20:54] Senku
    Which means someone must
    have noticed when we fired off
[20:58] Senku
    that powerful signal from our beacon.
[21:00] Chrome
    Wait, what do you mean, "someone"?
[21:04] Ryusui
    If someone else has revived,
    they would have already...
[21:13] Gen
    Wait a second...
[21:15] Gen
    Is this Morse code?
[21:18] Senku
    It's a message to us.
[21:23] Gen
    It's repeating the same signal over and over.
[21:28] Gen
    Um...
[21:29] Gen
    Is that a W?
[21:31] Gen
    H...
[21:33] Gen
    Huh?
[21:35] Gen
    W H Y.
[21:37] Chrome
    Huh?
[21:39] Gen
    Why?
[21:41] Gen
    "Why?"
[21:43] Skeleton
    Why, why, why, why?!
[21:53] Senku
    Hey.
[21:55] Senku
    Are you the mastermind behind
    humanity's petrification?
[22:04] Senku
    We finally meet.
[22:07] Senku
    I've been waiting 3,700 years for this.
[22:11] Senku
    This is exhilarating!
