[00:03] Suika
    Wh-Wh-Who is this mysterious
    person talking to us?!
[00:08] Ruri
    Maybe there's another group of
    survivors far beyond the ocean.
[00:13] Yo
    It's probably a distress signal, isn't it?
[00:15] Yo
    From a drifting vessel that happened
    to pick up our radio signal.
[00:18] Nikki
    Their message would be
    "SOS" or "Hello," then.
[00:20] Nikki
    Why are they spamming "Why?"
[00:22] Nikki
    "Why" is what we want to know.

[00:25] Taiju
    We won't find any answers
    just thinking about it.
[00:27] Taiju
    Let's leave Senku's team to do their work
    and keep doing what we can on our end!
[00:31] Taiju
    Time to get to work!
[00:33] Francois
    I absolutely agree, Taiju-sama.
[00:35] Kohaku
    Indeed.
[00:36] Kohaku
    Too many chefs spoil the broth.
[00:39] Kohaku
    We ought to leave the people in
    the meeting to decide what to do.
[00:45] Kohaku
    The five most clever people
    in the Kingdom of Science...
[00:52] Kohaku
    Our generals.
[00:54] Kohaku
    Wait, I'm not sure about Chrome.
[00:57] Kohaku
    He's smart, but he's too goofy.
[01:00] Chrome
    I'm not goofy!
[01:02] Kohaku
    Case in point.
[01:04] Ruri
    Now I'm worried.
SIGN    Eyes of Science
[02:42] Ukyo
    Let's go over what's happened so far.
[02:47] Ukyo
    One day, a beam of light
    washed over the planet
[02:51] Ukyo
    and turned all of humanity into stone.
[02:55] Ukyo
    Of course, there was no such
    technology back in the day, either.
[03:00] Ukyo
    3,700 years had passed when Senku
    woke himself up from petrification.
[03:07] Ryusui
    I thought it was Why-Man who was behind it.
[03:10] Ukyo
    "Why-Man" is the name
    we're giving him, huh?
[03:12] Ryusui
    But there's no way he would
    have been alive for 3,700 years.
[03:17] Ryusui
    Unless...
[03:19] Ryusui
    he petrified himself with the rest of us.
[03:22] Chrome
    Just a second.
[03:24] Chrome
    I got pissed a second ago, too, but are
    we even sure Why-Man is an enemy?
[03:30] Chrome
    Isn't there a chance he's on our side?
[03:32] Senku
    It's not that there isn't.
[03:33] Senku
    It's that there's no need to
    consider that possibility.
[03:37] Senku
    If he's on our side, we'll just
    have over-prepared. Big whoop.
[03:42] Gen
    Though, I'm sure they don't
    appreciate us, for sure.
[03:47] Gen
    I mean...
[03:48] (Flashback) Senku
    Are you the mastermind?
[03:50] Gen
    He ignored Senku's attempt
    to goad them into fessing up.
[03:53] Gen
    The "WHY" signal stopped, and he's
    been radio silent ever since.
[03:58] Ukyo
    An unidentified, unseen enemy who may be
    anywhere and could come from anywhere.
[04:04] Ukyo
    This is absolutely brutal.
[04:07] Senku
    That's it!
[04:11] Senku
    That makes things a lot simpler.
[04:14] Senku
    We're going to see the unseen...
[04:16] Senku
    with the eyes of science.
[04:19] Senku
    A conical flask?
[04:23] Kohaku
    We're going to see the enemy through this?
[04:25] Gen
    Nah, that can't be it.
[04:27] Senku
    We are.
[04:28] Kohaku
    I was right?!
[04:29] Senku
    I've got work for you, power team!
[04:33] Senku
    We're using this sphalerite that we mined
    out of Chrome's treasure cave of treasures.
[04:40] Chrome
    Oh, yeah, I remember gathering those.
[04:43] Senku
    We're gonna bash the—
[04:52] Gen
    Powdered instantly!
[04:53] Senku
    ...bash the hell out of them.
[04:56] Senku
    Dissolve it in water and throw it in
    the flask, and it'll stick to the glass.
[05:02] Senku
    Fluorescent paint!
[05:03] Kaseki
    And now we do the usual.
[05:06] Kaseki
    We're basically making a giant vacuum
    tube out of this conical flask!
[05:11] Kaseki
    Piece of cake!
[05:15] Ryusui
    I still have no idea what this is.
[05:19] Suika
    We might know if we turn it on.
[05:22] Suika
    Boop.
[05:28] Senku
    Just like with the vacuum tube,
[05:30] Senku
    we use electrodes to accelerate
    electrons emitted by heat...
[05:35] Electron
    Electron beam!
[05:37] Senku
    Slam them into the bottom of the flask,
    and a point at the bottom lights up.
[05:44] Senku
    And we have ourselves a display.
SIGN    m 0 0 l 188 0 l 188 70 l 0 70
SIGN    Cathode ray tubes acquired!!
[05:49] Senku
    I've been getting them ready so we
    could make a display for the GPS.
[05:54] Senku
    That was dead easy, huh?
[05:56] Gen
    This is a display?
[05:58] Gen
    It just looks like a dot.
[06:00] Yo
    Maybe Senku's finally lost it
[06:03] Yo
    from making so much complicated stuff.
[06:05] Senku
    We're nudging the beam around
    to turn the dot into an image.
[06:09] Senku
    We do it at a precise rate,
    from left to right, top to bottom.
[06:14] Senku
    That's how the cathode ray tube would
    make an image in the good ol' days.
[06:20] Chrome
    How are we supposed to move
    the beam around so precisely?
[06:24] Senku
    We're calling upon the power of the crystal.
[06:30] Yo
    Now he's saying we're using a
    crystal ball to see the enemy.
[06:34] Yo
    I'm pretty sure he's wack.
[06:36] Senku
    Nah, I've still got my
    mind intact, just barely.
[06:39] Senku
    Crystals have legit magic powers.
[06:43] Gen
    Huh? We're talking science, right?
[06:46] Senku
    Ten billion percent science.
[06:50] Senku
    Apply voltage to a sheet
    of crystal, and it vibrates.
[06:54] Senku
    At a ridiculously precise tempo, too.
[06:56] Senku
    We shoot the magically clean wave of
    electricity coming from the two crystals'
[07:02] Senku
    incredibly precise vibrations
    at a sandwich of two sheets...
[07:05] Electron
    Curve!
[07:06] Senku
    And the electron beam passing
    between them makes a perfect curve.
[07:12] Mirai
    The dot grew sideways!
[07:14] Suika
    It opened up and turned into a perfect line!
[07:17] Mirai
    I guess that means we have a crystal TV?
[07:21] Chrome
    Crystals are awesome! That much I get!
[07:24] Ruri
    So much power from just one rock...
[07:27] Ruri
    The laws of nature are so mystical!
[07:31] Senku
    Yeah.
[07:32] Senku
    And we gratefully ask it to let
    us use it for our purposes.
[07:36] Senku
    That's what science is about.
[07:40] Senku
    Now we just need to do the vertical curve.
[07:43] Senku
    All we have to do is connect the radio
    antenna to the top-bottom sandwich.
[07:51] Ukyo
    I see!
[07:53] Ukyo
    I recognize this!
[07:57] Ukyo
    I'm a sonar operator... I should
    have known from the beginning!
[08:02] Ukyo
    Seeing an unseen enemy...
[08:04] Ukyo
    With the eyes of science.
[08:09] Ryusui
    A radar!
[08:12] Senku
    We just have to swap the
    antenna out with a microphone,
[08:15] Senku
    and we have an underwater sonar.
[08:18] Senku
    Ukyo, this is your territory.
[08:22] Ukyo
    GPS, radar, sonar...
[08:25] Ukyo
    It's becoming an actual science vessel.
[08:29] Senku
    I told you.
[08:30] Senku
    Humanity's strongest weapon is information.
[08:35] Senku
    We're flushing you out, Why-Man.
[08:37] Senku
    Whether you're on land,
    in the sky, or in the water...
[08:43] Senku
    After all, the first thing you said when
    you saw us moving around was "Why?"
[08:49] Senku
    You have something to do with
    the petrification, don't you?
[08:57] Chrome
    We can use the bendy shape
    to see inside the water, huh?
[09:00] Chrome
    This last, flat part is
    the ocean floor, right?
[09:03] Chrome
    So then, what's this zig-zag
    piece halfway across?
[09:09] Chrome
    Senku! Ukyo!
[09:11] Chrome
    There's something in the water!
[09:13] Chrome
    A ton of them!
[09:18] Ukyo
    Nice, Chrome.
[09:22] Senku
    Half of the reason I wanted
    a sonar was for him.
[09:27] Senku
    It's going to be a stupid-long voyage
    to the other side of the planet.
[09:31] Senku
    We're going to need to find food locally.
[09:41] Ukyo
    We can use it as a fish finder, too.

    Massive haul!

[10:05] Ryusui
    We're going to use the eyes of science to
    sprint to the opposite side of the planet
[10:08] Ryusui
    and find the mysterious enemy, Why-Man!
[10:12] Senku
    Yeah, we've got a lot to thank Why-Man for.
[10:15] Senku
    We didn't even know what we
    were looking for until now.
[10:21] Senku
    Thanks to him getting himself involved,
[10:25] Senku
    we can finally close in on the
    truth behind the petrification.
[10:29] Gen
    You sure are enjoying this.
[10:33] Ukyo
    All when the enemy could come for us, too.
[10:35] Ukyo
    If Why-Man's creepy message
    was meant to be a threat,
[10:39] Ukyo
    it's funny how much of an
    opposite effect it's had.
[10:43] Ukyo
    It doesn't work on Senku's type.
[10:47] Gen
    Yeah, you're right.
[10:49] Gen
    That's the kind of person Senku-chan is.
[10:56] Suika
    I've never seen so many fish!
[11:00] Francois
    With the fish finder and the bread,
    we've overcome the food issue aboard the ship.
SIGN    Restaurant
    Francois
[11:19] Kohaku
    It's so strange...
[11:20] Kohaku
    We can catch all the fish we want
    if we look at the water through this.
[11:23] Kohaku
    Radar and sonar are incredible.
[11:26] Ryusui
    Yup.
[11:26] Ryusui
    Whether it's the sea at night
    or the sky through the clouds,
[11:29] Ryusui
    it'll see right through anything.
[11:33] Ginro
    See right through...
[11:34] Chrome
    ...anything?
[11:36] Ginro
    See through anything using radar?
[11:38] Ginro
    Does that mean, and I'm just
    asking, what about clothes?
[11:40] Ginro
    Like, girls'...
[11:41] Ginro
    No, I mean, I'm just asking for science.
[11:43] Ginro
    I'm interested in science now.
[11:45] Kohaku
    Unbelievably filthy.
[11:46] Kinro
    Ginro, you...
[11:47] Senku
    I guess an X-ray would be the closest thing.
[11:50] Senku
    You'd see through more
    than just clothes, though.
[11:51] Chrome
    See through anything with radar...
[11:53] Ginro
    Oh, come on!
[11:54] Ginro
    Chrome's thinking the same thing!
[11:57] Kaseki
    No way!
[11:58] Kaseki
    When Chrome's like that, he's coming
    up with some fun new project.
[12:03] Kaseki
    Not that I know what, exactly.
[12:05] Senku
    What are your thoughts as
    an expert in the field?
[12:09] Ukyo
    I think the biggest issue
    is the radar's output.
[12:12] Ukyo
    We're going to need more than batteries.
[12:14] Senku
    Don't worry.
[12:15] Senku
    We're going to pack the ship
    with a bunch of huge-ass engines
[12:18] Senku
    and generate a ton of power.
[12:22] Kaseki
    That'll be a pain in the butt to make!
[12:23] Kaseki
    I can't wait!
[12:27] Kaseki
    So are the engines the last
    step in building the ship?
[12:31] Senku
    Yeah.
[12:33] Senku
    But there's a bit of a problem.
[12:36] Senku
    Now that we're talking about
    huge-ass steel machines,
[12:40] Senku
    we're going to need a lot more
    than just a research lab.
[12:43] Senku
    We're venturing into industrial scale.
[12:46] Senku
    We're going to need a stupid
    amount of steel and oil.
[12:53] Suika
    We're running out of iron sand.

    scoop up from the river.

[13:05] Chrome
    In that case, couldn't we see through
    the dirt to find iron and whatever else?
[13:12] Chrome
    What's the thing that releases radio
    waves or magnetic waves or whatever?
[13:15] Chrome
    This windy coil thing...
[13:17] Chrome
    This connects to the radar screen.
[13:21] Chrome
    Whatever, let's give this a shot.
[13:26] Chrome
    Let's try putting it close to the rocks.
[13:34] Kohaku
    Where has Chrome vanished to?
[13:36] Suika
    He darted off looking really happy.
[13:40] Suika
    He was like, "Oh, crap! This could work!"
[13:47] Chrome
    This place takes me back.
[13:53] (Flashback) Senku
    And so the god of lightning descends.
[13:57] Chrome
    It's the bald mountain
[13:59] Chrome
    where Kohaku, Senku, and the rest
    of us captured lightning together!
[14:03] Chrome
    This rock reacts to radar.
[14:06] Chrome
    It's where magnetic metals are born!

    This crazy rock that I happened
    to find on a bald mountain!
[14:15] Chrome
    Try to remember...
[14:16] Chrome
    Where did I find it when
    I walked here on foot?
[14:20] Chrome
    That's where I'll find it, underground!
[14:39] Chrome
    It moved.
[14:40] Chrome
    It moved a tiny bit, didn't it?!

    No, it definitely did!

    Yes!

[15:25] Senku
    That's a metal detector.
[15:27] Senku
    Though, since it's electromagnetic, I guess
    you could call it an underground radar.
[15:31] Senku
    The coil interacts with magnetism.
[15:33] Senku
    Put it near magnetite, and it'll put
    out a crap-ton of induced current.

    Yeah, you're right.

    Pain...

    W-We're already at paved roads?!

    We've gone from that primitive stone
    world to city building really fast.
[18:35] Senku
    Once we have oil, the world changes quickly.
[18:39] Senku
    Then again, asphalt is 90% gravel.

    We aren't wasting our
    oil like that, meathead.

    You can't get more bang
    for your buck than that.

    path in some mega-project.

    advantage of being a narrow island nation.

    The Nanami Conglomerate taught
    me ever since I was little...
[21:01] Ryusui
    to hold back my emotions,
[21:03] Ryusui

    of a leader who can move people!
