[00:07] (Flashback) Taiju
    The strongest primate
    high-schooler, Shishio Tsukasa.
[00:12] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    You two will never be in danger again.
[00:17] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    From now on, I'll do the fighting.
[00:22] (Flashback) Senku
    This Shishio guy is way too strong.
[00:29] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Senku, do you intend to bring back
    everyone, including the grown-ups
[00:33] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    whose hearts are tainted?
[00:36] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    This is a stone world.
[00:38] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    An untainted paradise.
[00:42] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    We'll revive only the pure-hearted youth
[00:45] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    and live in a natural
    world owned by no one.
[00:50] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    It's a chance to purify humanity.
[00:54] (Flashback) Tsukasa
    Don't you agree, Senku?
[01:02] Senku
    This guy is seriously bad news.
[01:05] Senku
    Then again, if we hadn't woken him up,
    we would've been killed by the lions.
[01:09] Senku
    I guess we didn't really have a choice.
[01:11] Senku
    He wants to help out the youth, too,
[01:14] Senku
    so I'm sure he'll stay under control until
    he learns the recipe for the revival fluid.
[01:18] Senku
    Even if it kills me, I have to keep quiet
    about the miracle fluid in the cave.
[01:22] Taiju
    Hey!
[01:23] Taiju
    Good news, Senku, Tsukasa!
[01:27] Taiju
    We have a full pot of miracle
    fluid from the cave!
SIGN    For Yuzuriha
[01:30] Taiju
    We can finally revive Yuzuriha!
[01:38] Tsukasa
    What's this "miracle fluid" you speak of?
[01:46] Senku
    Let's not waste time standing
    here explaining it.
[01:50] Senku
    It'll be ten billion times
    faster to just show you.
[01:53] Senku
    You'd better feel honored to see this.
[01:56] Senku
    Time to enjoy the humanity revival show.
SIGN    Weapons of Science
[03:37] Taiju
    All right, Yuzuriha.
[03:39] Taiju
    We're finally going to save you,
    for real this time!
[03:45] Senku
    What the hell?
[03:46] Senku
    This is just short of enough
    revival fluid for one person.
[03:50] Taiju
    What?! Did I take it out too soon?!
[03:52] Senku
    Tsukasa and I will play word games
    or something while you go get more.
[03:57] Senku
    So make a mad dash, big oaf.
[03:59] Taiju
    Thanks! I'll be right back!
[04:02] Taiju
    I'll go full speed!
[04:08] Tsukasa
    In that case, I'll go, since I'm the fastest.
[04:12] Tsukasa
    So would you mind telling me
    where this miracle fluid is?
[04:17] Senku
    I should've known he'd catch on.
[04:20] Senku
    If he learns where the source
    of the revival fluid is,
[04:24] Senku
    there's a ten billion percent chance
    he's going to be able to stop
[04:27] Senku
    my Operation: Let's Save Every Last Human.
[04:37] Senku
    Did Tsukasa leave?
[04:38] Taiju
    Yeah, in the blink of an eye.
[04:41] Taiju
    He's as fast as you'd thi—
[04:43] Senku
    Let's make the revival fluid and
    bring Yuzuriha back right away,
[04:48] Senku
    while Tsukasa isn't here.
[04:56] Tsukasa
    Bats...
[04:59] Tsukasa
    Touching it makes my finger yellow.
[05:03] Tsukasa
    So the "miracle fluid" is nitric acid.
[05:19] Taiju
    What's going on?
SIGN    Laboratory
[05:20] Taiju
    You just said there wasn't
    quite enough revival fluid!
[05:23] Senku
    Do you really think I'd set out
    a pot that was the wrong size?
[05:27] Taiju
    Good point!
[05:28] Taiju
    Then why did you send Tsukasa after it?
[05:31] Senku
    It was double-edged bait.
[05:32] Senku
    I wanted to get rid of him
    before reviving Yuzuriha,
[05:35] Senku
    even if it meant revealing
    where the cave was.
[05:37] Taiju
    Why do you want to get rid of Tsukasa?
[05:40] Taiju
    He's a good guy!
[05:41] Senku
    That's why he's too much to handle.
[05:44] Senku
    I don't have even one millimeter of interest
    in his grand vision for a "mighty world."
[05:53] Senku
    I find civilization-building
    games more exhilarating.
[05:59] Taiju
    All right.
[06:00] Taiju
    You don't need to explain.
[06:02] Taiju
    Senku, I trust what you say.
[06:05] Taiju
    Something happened while
    I was gone, didn't it?
[06:09] Senku
    Yeah.
[06:11] Senku
    Shishio Tsukasa is a good guy...
[06:17] Senku
    and a murderer.
[06:24] Taiju
    Yuzuriha...
[06:25] Taiju
    Sorry to keep you waiting.
[06:27] Taiju
    I... I...
[06:30] Taiju
    I...
[06:32] Senku
    I told you we're in a hurry, you big oaf!
[06:36] Taiju
    You just dumped it all over her!
[06:38] Taiju
    Couldn't you be a bit more, like... you know!
[06:43] Taiju
    Wait, nothing's happening!
    Is this all right?!
[06:46] Taiju
    No, it's all right, Yuzuriha!
[06:48] Taiju
    But is this all right?!
[06:50] Senku
    It takes time for the reaction to happen.
[06:53] Senku
    This is a kind of cryostasis.
[06:55] Senku
    It's like a protective coat made
    from trace metals in the body.
[07:00] Senku
    Some mysterious mechanism
    causes those elements
[07:02] Senku
    to phase-shift, maintaining a petrified state.
[07:04] Taiju
    That's complicated!
[07:06] Taiju
    Seriously complicated!
[07:08] Senku
    It's just a hypothesis, based on a
    whole year of painstaking experiments.
[07:12] Senku
    The point is, if even one part of it
    gets nital on it and breaks down...
[07:19] Senku
    it creates a cascade effect that
    travels across the entire body.
[07:23] Senku
    And the petrification is undone.
[07:27] (Flashback) Taiju
    Hear me out, Yuzuriha.
    For the past five years...
[07:31] (Flashback) Taiju
    I'm gonna tell Yuzuriha.
[07:32] (Flashback) Taiju
    I'll survive, even if it kills me!
[07:34] (Flashback) Taiju
    It's because of you that I was
    able to stay alive all this time.
[07:37] (Flashback) Taiju
    I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.
[07:47] (Flashback) Taiju
    I've loved you... for hundreds of years...
[07:52] (Flashback) Taiju
    thousands of years...
[08:07] Taiju
    Yuzuriha, can you hear me? Yuzuriha!
[08:12] Yuzuriha
    Taiju-kun?
[08:16] Taiju
    I'm sorry. I made you wait for 3,700 years...
[08:20] Taiju
    I'm sorry!
[08:23] Yuzuriha
    I have no idea what's going on. I just woke up.
[08:27] Yuzuriha
    But, yeah... I think I know what's going on.
[08:32] Yuzuriha
    You saved me, didn't you?
[08:36] Yuzuriha
    Wow... Thanks.
[08:42] Taiju
    It wasn't me.
[08:44] Taiju
    It was all thanks to Senku.
[08:47] Taiju
    Senku spent a whole year
    working on the revival fluid.
[08:51] Senku
    Sorry to barge in on your reunion chat,
[08:54] Senku
    but make up your mind
    before Tsukasa gets back.
[08:57] Senku
    We only have two options.
[08:59] Senku
    Choose one.
[09:01] Senku
    Plan A: Taiju and Yuzuriha,
[09:04] Senku
    you two run away right now,
    and live somewhere far away.
[09:08] Senku
    Plan B: we fight together to
    stop Tsukasa's murder spree,
[09:13] Senku
    using the weapons of civilization.
[09:15] Taiju
    The answer's obvious!
[09:17] Taiju
    We're going to fight by your side!
[09:19] Taiju
    Don't underestimate us, Senku!
[09:22] Yuzuriha
    Yeah! I have no idea what's
    going on, but I'll help, too!
[09:26] Senku
    I'm not trying to be nice or anything.
[09:28] Senku
    It just seemed logical to give
    you both a chance to flee.
[09:32] Taiju
    If Tsukasa really is killing people, I'll—
[09:35] Tsukasa
    Calling it "killing people"
[09:38] Tsukasa
    is really a matter of perspective.
[09:42] Tsukasa
    I'm culling them... for the
    benefit of the new world.
[09:54] Senku
    He doesn't even try to hide his
    murders from Taiju or Yuzuriha.
[09:59] Senku
    In other words, anyone who gets in his way...
[10:10] Taiju
    Senku, if things go bad,
    take care of Yuzuriha for me.
[10:14] Taiju
    I'm going to stop Tsukasa!
[10:18] Senku
    You damn simpleton!
[10:21] Senku
    The guy killed a lion with his bare hands.
[10:24] Senku
    You're screwed, ten billion percent!
[10:27] Senku
    You're forcing me to use the
    weapon I've been keeping secret!
[10:35] Senku
    I need to shoot it right
    between them and stop them!
[10:52] Tsukasa
    You're the first person who's managed to
    remain standing after receiving my kick.
[10:57] Tsukasa
    Yes... And even more interestingly,
    it wasn't that you
[11:00] Tsukasa
    failed to attack me just now,
    but that you refused to.
[11:03] Tsukasa
    Why?
[11:04] Taiju
    I don't hit people!
[11:06] Taiju
    You can hit me or kick me all you want,
[11:09] Taiju
    but stop destroying the statues!
[11:13] Taiju
    Killing people is bad!
[11:19] Tsukasa
    Taiju, let me get this straight.
[11:22] Tsukasa
    You'll let me keep hitting
    you and never fight back,
[11:25] Tsukasa
    therefore, don't destroy the statues.
[11:27] Tsukasa
    Is that right?
[11:29] Taiju
    That's right!
[11:36] Tsukasa
    I don't understand.
[11:38] Tsukasa
    There's no deal being made here.
[11:42] Tsukasa
    If you insist on getting in my way...
[11:44] Taiju
    I don't care how many times you attack me!
    I won't stop trying to stop you!
[11:48] Tsukasa
    That girl who was just revived...
[11:50] Tsukasa
    What if I told you I'd kill her?
[11:57] Yuzuriha
    I see.
[11:58] Yuzuriha
    This is why Senku-kun said it might
    be more logical for us to flee.
[12:07] Tsukasa
    Taiju-kun!
[12:09] Senku
    So that did hurt him.
[12:11] Senku
    He's bleeding like mad.
[12:12] Senku
    We'll have to let him sleep for a few days.
[12:15] Tsukasa
    Yes. Let's not fight among ourselves.
[12:18] Tsukasa
    You protect Yuzuriha,
[12:20] Tsukasa
    instead of worrying about statues
    of people you don't know.
[12:24] Tsukasa
    And I'll do what I need to do.
[12:29] Tsukasa
    I won't let you get in my way.
[12:36] Senku
    The crossbow arrow was moving
    at over 200 kilometers per hour.
[12:40] Tsukasa
    He snatched it right out of the air...
[12:44] Senku
    Hey, get up!
[12:45] Senku
    Come on! Come on, come on!
[12:46] Yuzuriha
    You said you'd let him sleep for a few days!
[12:47] Senku
    Come on!
[12:48] Senku
    You're not gonna go down that easily
    in front of Tsukasa, are you, big oaf?
[12:54] Tsukasa
    Of course I'm not!
[12:57] Yuzuriha
    You're okay now?
[12:59] Tsukasa
    I'm built to last.
[13:01] Tsukasa
    I've got plenty of energy left to spare!
[13:03] Yuzuriha
    Thank goodness.
[13:05] Tsukasa
    Right! Tsukasa!
[13:06] Tsukasa
    We need to stop his murdering!
[13:09] Senku
    Hold it, big oaf.
[13:10] Tsukasa
    I'm not giving up!
[13:12] Senku
    How simple-minded can you be?
[13:14] Senku
    We just learned that we can't stop him!
[13:18] Tsukasa
    Still...
[13:24] Senku
    There's only one way to stop
    a monster in this stone world.
[13:31] Senku
    Advance civilization and
    make weapons of science.
[13:45] Yuzuriha
    Such a waste...
[13:47] Taiju
    What are you doing, Senku?
[13:48] Senku
    I'm making it look like
[13:50] Senku
    Tsukasa freaked us out and made
    us run off with just our food.
[13:55] Taiju
    What are you talking about?
[13:56] Taiju
    Are we running away?
[13:58] Senku
    It's just an act.
[14:01] Senku
    If we make weapons of science
    before he takes notice, we win.
[14:05] Senku
    If he finds out first, we lose.
[14:08] Senku
    That's the kind of race this is.
[14:13] Senku
    We're going to go find
    materials to make weapons.
[14:16] Senku
    Our goal is Hakone!
[14:18] Senku
    Hey, it's just a huge 80-kilometer
    adventure, that's all.
[14:22] Taiju
    Two full marathons, huh?
[14:24] Taiju
    Five hours ought to do it.
[14:26] Senku
    Only for a meathead like you.
[14:32] Yuzuriha
    The cherry blossoms seem different.
[14:34] Senku
    The cherry blossoms we know,
    Prunus yedoensis, aren't self-pollinating.
[14:40] Yuzuriha
    Which means...
[14:42] Senku
    They must have gone
    extinct right off the bat.
[14:57] Taiju
    Man, what a great view!
[14:59] Senku
    Perfect.
[15:04] Taiju
    What's that, Senku?
[15:05] Senku
    A sextant.
[15:07] Senku
    It's been 35,970 seconds
    since sunrise as of now.
[15:11] Yuzuriha
    Did you really just say that
    like it's no big deal?
[15:14] Taiju
    Senku counted for hundreds of billions
    of seconds while he was petrified.
[15:18] Taiju
    This is a piece of cake for him.
[15:20] Senku
    A sextant is supposed to tell you
    your current location based on the time,
[15:24] Senku
    but the accuracy is such trash,
    it's a complete joke.
[15:29] Senku
    Still, this trash is the only GPS we have.
[15:31] Senku
    We must be around Kamakura, I guess.
[15:34] Senku
    I wish I knew our exact
    longitude and latitude.
[15:37] Taiju
    Are there any buildings that
    could serve as landmarks?
[15:40] Senku
    Anything metal is rusted away.
[15:42] Senku
    There's nothing left.
[15:46] Taiju
    What's wrong, Yuzuriha?
[15:52] Yuzuriha
    Isn't that...
[16:00] Yuzuriha
    That area's completely bare
    of trees for some reason.
[16:06] Yuzuriha
    Kamakura's landmark is...
[16:12] Senku
    I know where we are.
[16:14] Senku
    We're at 35 degrees, 19 minutes north,
[16:17] Senku
    139 degrees, 32 minutes east.
[16:33] (Flashback) Yuzuriha
    Look! Look!
[16:46] Taiju
    What's wrong, Yuzuriha?!
[16:47] Taiju
    Who made you cry?
[16:49] Taiju
    Was it me?!
[16:50] Yuzuriha
    No, I'm not crying!
[16:52] Yuzuriha
    I mean, it's not that I'm not crying...
[16:56] Yuzuriha
    But it's not like that, Taiju-kun.
[17:00] Yuzuriha
    I just woke up today,
    and nothing feels real right now.
[17:07] Yuzuriha
    But seeing the Great Buddha of Kamakura
    made me realize we really are in Japan.
[17:14] Yuzuriha
    It really has been thousands of years...
[17:18] Yuzuriha
    I started thinking about my mom
    and dad, and everyone else...
[17:32] Senku
    There's nothing to worry about.
[17:34] Senku
    We're about to beat Tsukasa
    and save all of humanity.
[17:38] Taiju
    He's right, Yuzuriha!
[17:43] Taiju
    And the Great Buddha just told us the way!
[17:45] Taiju
    He's stood for thousands of years without
    falling apart. He really is a god!
[17:49] Taiju
    Wait, a Buddha?
[17:51] Taiju
    Well, anyway, something like that!
[17:56] Senku
    Well, yeah, they made the
    Buddha out of bronze.
[17:59] Senku
    Scientifically, it just doesn't rot.
[18:03] Taiju
    Look!
[18:04] Taiju
    There's absolutely no
    foliage around the Buddha!
[18:07] Taiju
    It's like he made it so
    we could find him easily!
[18:10] Senku
    Well, yeah, it's leaking
    copper ions like crazy.
[18:14] Senku
    It's just poisonous to most plants.
[18:19] Senku
    That's it! Bronze!
[18:20] Senku
    We can use it to make mirrors!
[18:22] Senku
    Time to upgrade my trash sextant!
[18:25] Senku
    I'll just help myself to some of this!
[18:27] Taiju
    Stop!
[18:28] Taiju
    You blasphemous bastard!
[18:30] Taiju
    It's a Great Buddha!
[18:31] Senku
    Shut up, simpleton! Go away!
[18:36] ---
    No! The Great Buddha!
[18:57] Senku
    What the hell are you doing?
[18:58] Taiju
    I have to protect us from beasts.
[19:01] Taiju
    Tsukasa might come after us, too.
[19:04] Senku
    We're screwed either way if
    Tsukasa catches up to us now.
[19:07] Senku
    It's illogical to worry about him.
[19:10] Taiju
    I-I see.
[19:12] Senku
    Hurry up and sleep.
[19:13] Senku
    Resting is part of your job, too, big oaf.
[19:20] Senku
    That giant body's actually
    struggling for once, huh?
[19:24] Taiju
    I'm barely fine!
[19:25] Taiju
    I'm just tall enough, I mean!
[19:26] Taiju
    I still have plenty of energy, though!
[19:29] Taiju
    Not to worry!
[19:31] Taiju
    Yuzuriha, your toe's still petrified.
[19:35] Yuzuriha
    Yeah, it does sort of get in the way,
    but I guess it's okay.
[19:40] Taiju
    It's not oka—
[19:45] Yuzuriha
    That's cold!
[19:47] Yuzuriha
    Hey, the pain's going away, too.
[19:51] Taiju
    The revival fluid has
    rejuvenating properties, too?
[19:54] Senku
    No, it doesn't.
[19:56] Senku
    It's just that the small cracks get mended
    when the petrification is reversed.
[20:01] Senku
    Haven't you noticed we're still alive
    even though our faces are cracked?
[20:05] Taiju
    That's true.
[20:06] Senku
    Let's head to our goal.
[20:09] Senku
    If you want to take a bath
    in actual rejuvenating fluid.
[20:12] Yuzuriha
    When you say the goal in
    Hakone, do you mean...
[20:22] Tsukasa
    A room in disarray, hurried footsteps...
[20:26] Tsukasa
    Did they run away in a panic?
[20:30] Tsukasa
    Yes... That's what they're
    trying to make me think.
[20:34] ---
    How can I tell?
[20:36] Tsukasa
    Senku, you aren't the kind
    of man to turn tail and run.
[20:41] Tsukasa
    Why did he lie about Taiju being unable to move, and then secretly head west?
[20:49] Tsukasa
    It's obvious.
[20:51] Tsukasa
    Senku is trying to make weapons
    of science to fight against me.
[20:56] Tsukasa
    But where?
[21:01] Taiju
    We made it to the goal!
[21:03] Taiju
    Hot springs!
[21:04] ---
    Wow...
[21:06] Yuzuriha
    There's a great view of Mount Fuji, too.
[21:08] Senku
    You two better not have forgotten
    why we came all this way.
[21:14] Taiju
    So what's this "weapon of science"?
[21:18] Senku
    The greatest invention in human history...
[21:20] Taiju
    Smartphones?!
[21:21] Senku

    Guns.
[21:26] Senku
    We're making gunpowder.
[21:30] Senku

[21:33] Senku
    And gunpowder was invented
    just recently, around 700 AD.
[21:38] Senku
    Basically, we're about to warp
    1,998,700 years ahead in civilization.
[21:47] Senku

    anti-Tsukasa weapon: black powder.
