    Now we can go save Chrome!
[00:05] Kohaku
    It's a living iron creature
    built from nothing.

    It'll run you over!

    Seriously, you'll get hurt real bad!
    Everyone, stay away!
[00:29] Magma
    "Hurt real bad," my ass!
[00:31] Magma
    All this thing ever does is run.
[00:33] Magma
    It's no match for my number one power!
[00:38] Ginro
    Look out!
[00:40] Kohaku
    Magma and the iron steam engine
    creature are going to duke it out.
[00:44] Kohaku
    This'll be interesting.
[00:53] Magma
    You don't scare me!
[01:01] Kohaku
    Magma!
[01:06] Senku
    What are you, mental?
[01:08] Senku
    Why would you think you
    could stop a steam engine?
[01:11] Ruri
    It's like a living creature.
[01:13] Kinro
    Yeah. A creature with incredible strength.
[01:16] Suika
    It's like a gorilla!
[01:18] Ginro
    Yeah, even more like one than Kohaku-chan!
[01:22] Ginro
    Isn't this Chrome's role?
[01:26] Ginro
    Come back home, Chrome.
[01:28] Kohaku
    Now we can all go help Chrome.
[01:31] Senku
    Yeah.
[01:32] Senku
    Once the engine's done, the rest
    of the car won't be hard to build.
[01:37] Senku
    It's the power beast of science: Steam Gorilla.
[01:43] Senku
    Well, then...
[01:45] Senku
    This village has been great to me.
[01:49] Senku
    But it's goodbye for now.
[01:53] Kohaku
    Senku...
[01:54] Senku
    We don't have time to be getting sentimental.
[02:00] Senku
    We're throwing all our science gear on board
[02:03] Senku
    and heading to the
    Tsukasa Empire, one and all!
[02:07] Senku
    This is exhilarating.
[03:47] Chrome
    Let me go, you...
[03:51] Chrome
    That hurt, you bastard!
[03:56] Chrome
    What, do you really think you can
    trust this wimpy bamboo cage?
[03:59] Chrome
    Don't go crying about it later!
[04:06] Hyoga
    Tsukasa-kun, why are we keeping
    him here, so out in the open?
[04:35] Gen
    I-It's so shaky!
[04:36] Gen
    It's going to collapse!
[04:38] Gen
    All our cargo's going to fall apart!
[04:45] Gen
    O-O-Oh, God!
[04:48] Gen
    Wh-Wh-Why am I the test driver?
[04:53] Senku
    You're the only one who
    has a driver's license.
[04:56] Gen
    Driver's license?! In this world?!
[04:58] Senku
    Gotta obey traffic laws.
[05:01] Gen
    You're surprisingly upright, huh?
[05:03] Senku
    I didn't think that for one millisecond.
[05:06] Gen
    Which is it?!
[05:07] Gen
    I don't think wooden wheels are
    going to hold up, are they?
[05:10] Gen
    We aren't driving on paved roads.
[05:13] Gen
    What are we doing for tires?
[05:16] Suika
    Don't worry!
[05:17] Suika
    We're all working hard!
[05:19] Suika
    We're doing hexagonal bamboo weaves!
[05:23] Gen
    Bamboo?
[05:27] Gen
    What is this?
[05:29] Senku
    Yeah, they're the airless tires developed
    by NASA for planetary exploration.
[05:34] Senku
    And they're made from bamboo weave.
[05:36] Gen
    You say that like we should all have
    heard of them, but I had no idea.
[05:44] Kaseki
    And there we have it!
[05:47] Kaseki
    It's done!
[05:49] Kaseki
    The Steam Gorilla!

[05:53] Ginro
    I'm confused, but it looks so cool!
[05:56] Kinro
    Yeah, I'm confused, but it does look cool.
[05:59] Kohaku
    Sure, it's amazing, and I'm impressed too,
    but what's with their enthusiasm?
[06:06] Gen
    You can't blame them.
[06:07] Gen
    Not when it comes to making machines.
[06:13] Suika
    Old Man Kaseki seems really sad.
[06:21] Kaseki
    We need to hurry up and go free Chrome.
[06:24] Kaseki
    I can't help but feel sorry for him.
[06:28] Kohaku
    Tsukasa needs him as a hostage,
[06:31] Kohaku
    but it's hard to say how
    he might be treating him.
[06:33] Kaseki
    No, I don't mean that.
[06:38] Kaseki
    He's not here to help us
    build our awesome automobile.
[06:44] Kaseki
    That's why I feel sorry for him!
[06:46] Senku
    It's so sad, the entirety of the
    United States is going to weep.
[06:50] Senku
    We need to hurry up and go
    flex the Steam Gorilla at him.
[06:59] Gen
    The science team is pretty awful, huh?
[07:02] Ruri
    I suppose that's just what
    good friends they are.
[07:06] Kokuyo
    We're ready to move out whenever!
[07:08] Kokuyo
    We're moving out en masse to rescue Chrome!
[07:11] Senku
    All right.
[07:12] Senku
    Load up the science tools and the pesky
    old farts who can't walk fast enough.
[07:24] Natri
    Senku, I don't think we can go.
[07:31] Natri
    We've thought about it.
[07:34] Natri
    Even with all the science equipment,
    we could have just made multiple trips.
[07:39] Natri
    So why did you build this
    so-called "automobile"?
[07:44] Natri
    You built it for those of us who
    can't walk long distances.
[07:49] Natri
    We already know, Senku.
[07:53] Senku
    I don't care about that.
[07:56] Senku
    I just like making sciencey things.
[08:03] Alumi
    We'll stay behind in Ishigami Village.
[08:06] Alumi
    We don't want to get in your
    way while you're in battle.
[08:11] Natri
    You'll be able to bring more
    science tools with you that way.
[08:15] Ruri
    But that's too dangerous.
[08:17] Kohaku
    Yeah. What if Tsukasa-kun's
    army sends reinforcements?
[08:21] Kinro
    You won't stand a chance.
[08:24] Kokuyo
    We must all go together.
[08:26] Suika
    You can't stay behind!
[08:30] Arumi
    Thank you, everyone.
[08:32] Arumi
    But we aren't the least
    bit worried about that.
[08:41] Natri
    Because...
[08:47] Natri
    Because you will defeat
    the Tsukasa Empire first.
[08:54] Natri
    Isn't that right?
[09:00] Kohaku
    Yeah. Of course we will.
[09:04] Kohaku
    We'll fight together and return here.
[09:14] Kohaku
    Along with the victory flag
    for the Kingdom of Science.
[09:45] Ginro
    Lucky.
[09:47] Ginro
    I wish I could drive, too.
[09:51] Kaseki
    The Steam Gorilla's holding up really well.
[09:54] Senku
    As long as we're on level ground.
[09:56] Gen
    It's a bit of a roundabout route,
[09:59] Gen
    but I've done several trips already,
    so I know where all the flat roads are.
[10:04] Gen
    But even so...
[10:14] Magma
    It can't go up hills?!
[10:16] Kohaku
    We'll have to push it together!
[10:19] Kaseki
    The way the wobbler engine works,
    it needs some momentum to keep turning.

[10:25] Senku
    We would have had more power if we'd
    built a double-cylinder engine.
[10:30] Senku
    Trying to save time backfired on us.
[10:34] Senku
    More power?
[10:38] Kohaku
    All right.
[10:39] Kohaku
    There's more of a climb up ahead.
[10:45] Kohaku
    S-Senku...
[10:50] Kohaku
    He's got a really evil grin.
[10:53] Suika
    You can tell from his face
    that he's up to something.
[10:59] Kohaku
    We're setting up camp beneath a cliff.
[11:02] Kohaku
    It's simplistic, but it's guerrilla warfare.
[11:05] Senku
    Put all our manufacturing at the bottom.
[11:07] Senku
    We'll hide as much of the smog
    behind the trees as we can.
[11:13] Kohaku
    First, we need to figure out
    where Chrome's being held.
[11:16] Kohaku
    Until then, there's nothing we can do.
[11:20] Kohaku
    But where do I begin?
[11:24] Kohaku
    Suika?!
[11:25] Suika
    Now's the time for Great Detective
    Suika to make herself useful!
[11:51] Suika
    It's no use...
[11:53] Suika
    I can't find him anywhere.
[12:09] Chrome
    Damn it!
[12:11] Chrome
    I'm so bored, cooped up in this
    prison of cave and bamboo!
[12:17] Person A
    What is he shouting about all of a sudden?
[12:20] Suika
    Chrome!
[12:22] Suika
    He's safe and well!
[12:30] Kaseki
    You put yourself in serious danger!
[12:32] Kokuyo
    But well done, Suika.
[12:34] Suika
    They had so many guards, though.
[12:38] Magma
    We'll just charge in and murder them all!
[12:42] Ginro
    That's the worst thing to do.
[12:46] Senku
    I don't know about murdering them,
[12:48] Senku
    but charging in might not
    be a bad idea this time.
[12:52] Ginro
    Ch-Ch-Charge in?!
[12:54] Ginro
    I don't mind, as long as
    I'm not the one doing it.
[12:56] Ginro
    But that's crazy!
[12:58] Senku
    We're going to bust down
    the bamboo prison by force.
[13:01] Senku
    We've got a mech on our side.
[13:04] Senku
    The monster of science
    that is the Steam Gorilla.
[13:07] Senku
    We're going to give it an insane
    upgrade and turn it into a tank.
[13:15] Kaseki
    We're modding my adorable little Steam
    Gorilla, after all the work we put into it?!
[13:20] Gen
    "Adorable"?
[13:21] Kohaku
    Adorable isn't the right word.
[13:23] Kinro
    It isn't adorable.
[13:24] Ginro
    It's not adorable.
[13:25] Suika
    It's not adorable.
[13:28] Senku
    No, we're giving it a power-up.
[13:30] Kaseki
    Oh, really?
[13:34] Kaseki
    Then let's upgrade it!
[13:36] Kaseki
    Now! Now!
[13:40] Kohaku
    But Senku, how could we make it any better?
[13:45] Senku
    We're going to armor it like crazy
[13:47] Senku
    so it becomes a tank that we
    can ram through the enemy.
[13:50] Kohaku
    In iron all around?
[13:52] Senku
    How could it even move?
    It would be too damn heavy.
[13:55] Senku
    We need speed in order to use it as a ram.
[13:58] Gen
    Of course.
[14:00] Gen
    So what are we making the tank with?
[14:09] Senku
    Paper.
[14:10] Ruri
    Hair?
[14:11] Ginro
    Gods?
[14:12] Gen
    I get it!
[14:14] Gen
    A paper tank.
[14:15] Gen
    That would be nice and light.
[14:17] ---
    What?!
[14:25] Suika
    We got a ton of weeds!
[14:28] Ruri
    Does it really not matter
    what kind of weeds they are?
[14:31] Senku
    Just about anything works.
[14:33] Senku
    We're going to boil all this grass
    in sodium hydroxide to loosen it up.
[14:39] Senku
    Mecha-Senku here!
[14:41] Senku
    If you're going to try this at home,
    try using bleach or baking soda!
[14:46] Senku
    We take that boiled goo, wash it,
    press it, and dry it.
[14:54] Gen
    It actually looks legit!
[14:56] Gen
    I never knew paper was so easy to make.

    This'll make it much easier

    We wasted a lot of leather up until now.

[15:13] Kohaku
    I hope you aren't going to suggest we make
    a car with this feeble material, Senku.
[15:19] Senku
    Yeah, that's what I'm suggesting.
[15:30] Gen
    Wait, you aren't just making
    a paper wall, are you?
[15:34] Senku
    Bingo. Ten billion points for you.
[15:37] Senku
    Lastly, we iron it out, and...
[15:40] Senku
    We have a paper shield.

[15:44] Senku
    Okay, now we glue these paper
    shields all over the sides
[15:50] Senku
    and turn the Steam Gorilla into a tank.
[15:53] Kinro
    Senku.
[15:55] Kinro
    You may not know...
[16:07] Kinro
    But a blow from a spearman can
    bring down even a wooden shield.
[16:11] Kinro
    I have a hard time believing in
    your so-called paper shield.
[16:17] Ginro
    I think so, too!
[16:19] Senku
    Oh?
[16:20] Senku
    That'll be the perfect test, then.
[16:24] Senku
    Wanna fight?
[16:29] Suika
    This is bad!
[16:30] Suika
    Senku and Kinro are in battle!
[16:33] Kokuyo
    What?!
[16:34] Kokuyo
    What is going on?
[16:36] Gen
    Man, and that spear Senku-chan asked for...
[16:41] Gen
    It's not for competitions, is it?
[16:43] Gen
    It's the real deal.
[16:46] Kinro
    This is dangerous, Senku.
[16:48] Kinro
    I can't—
[16:49] Senku
    It wouldn't be a test if you
    didn't attack at full strength.
[16:52] Senku
    That's the rule.
[16:54] Senku
    According to you, the rules
    are the rules, aren't they?
[16:59] Kinro
    All right.
[17:01] Kinro
    Then I won't hold back whatsoever.
[17:08] Kohaku
    Senku!
[17:22] Kohaku
    Senku won!
[17:24] Magma
    Kinro's spear fell apart.
[17:27] Kaseki
    The paper shield hasn't so much as dented!
[17:29] Gen
    With a paper wall? How?
[17:32] Kohaku
    No, wait.
[17:38] Kohaku
    I don't think he'll be able to
    answer any questions for a while.
[17:42] Suika
    He's gone numb.
[17:43] Ginro
    He stopped the blade,
    but he still took the impact.
[17:48] Gen
    That wasn't just glue you were
    painting onto the paper, was it?
[17:53] Suika
    Bingo. Ten billion points for you.
[17:57] Suika
    I painted molten plastic onto it.
[18:00] Suika
    Combine the flexibility of paper
    with the rigidity of plastic, and...

    We have carbon resin.

    Carbon fiber?!
[18:09] Gen
    I think I might have heard of it...
[18:11] Senku
    It's stupid light and stupid tough.
[18:15] Senku
    It's used in F1 car bodies and rockets.
[18:18] Senku
    It's the ultimate construction material,
    with SS agility and SS defense.
[18:33] Ginro
    Check out the Steam Gorilla!
[18:35] Kaseki
    It's ridiculously powered up!
[18:39] Suika
    It's starting to look really tough.
[18:42] Senku
    We made it a double steam
    engine, front-wheel drive,
[18:46] Senku
    with insanely huge caterpillar-ish wheels.
[18:48] Kohaku
    We can do it,
[18:50] Kohaku
    so long as we have this tank
    fortified with the ultimate material!
[18:56] Kohaku
    We could potentially ram into
    the prison and destroy it,
[18:59] Kohaku
    saving Chrome without causing
    any bloodshed at all!
[19:07] Kinro
    I'm sure Suika told the others
    where I'm being held, but...
[19:12] Person A
    Gotta go pee.
[19:14] Person B
    No, idiot! Don't go over there!
[19:22] Gen
    Shit!
[19:23] Gen
    This is...
[19:26] Hyoga
    A trap?
[19:28] Tsukasa
    Coal is easy to obtain, as long
    as you don't care about quality.
[19:34] Tsukasa
    The next science we need to
    be wary of, after gunpowder,
[19:39] Tsukasa
    is a frontal assault using a steam engine.
[19:42] Hyoga
    A steam engine?
[19:44] Hyoga
    In this stone world?
[19:47] Tsukasa
    Sooner or later, they'll get there.
[19:50] Tsukasa
    Senku would do it.
[19:53] Hyoga
    Is that why you imprisoned him somewhere
    so easy to attack by vehicle?
[20:00] Hyoga
    I see.
[20:01] Hyoga
    Chrome-kun is bait.
[20:06] Tsukasa
    Senku puts on a cold act,
    but he won't abandon his friends.
[20:13] Tsukasa
    That's his fatal weakness.
[20:20] Ginro
    Hey, hey, do you think...
[20:23] Ginro
    Once we rescue Chrome,
[20:24] Ginro
    we could use the Steam Gorilla tank
[20:27] Ginro
    to wreck Tsukasa's army?
[20:31] Ginro
    Then we might not even have to fight!
[20:37] Senku
    If it's still working after
    we slam into the prison.
[20:41] Senku
    It's a one-time-use build,
    only meant for saving Chrome.
[20:44] Kaseki
    Really?!
[20:46] Senku
    It's a one-shot surprise attack mech.
[20:49] Senku
    If they figure us out and take measures
    against a vehicular assault, it's over.
[20:56] Person A
    Here, there...
[20:57] Person A
    Anti-vehicle traps everywhere!
[21:02] Person B
    So they're all screwed if they come
    here hoping to save this idiot!
[21:07] Chrome
    No! It's a trap, Senku!
[21:09] Chrome
    Don't come to rescue me!
[21:11] Chrome
    I have to let them all know.
[21:14] Chrome
    Someone...
[21:20] Chrome
    Damn, what am I saying?
[21:23] Chrome
    Come rescue me?
[21:25] Chrome
    What am I, a kid crying
    for his mommy and daddy?
[21:29] Chrome
    Hell no!
[21:32] Chrome
    I'm going to save
[21:35] Chrome
    Senku and the others.
[21:38] Gen
    It'd be such a waste to only use it once, though.
[21:41] Gen
    If we spent some time mounting a turret on it,
[21:44] Gen
    we could use it to take over
    the miracle cave or something.
[21:47] Senku
    Quit talking in hypotheticals.
[21:50] Senku
    It's a waste of time.
[21:53] Kohaku
    But if Chrome were to escape on his
    own, things would be quite different.
[22:02] Chrome
    I'm going to escape on my own,
[22:04] Chrome
    using the power of science!
[22:09] Chrome
    That's right. I'm Chrome, the science user.
