[00:22] (Flashback) Senku
    It's finally starting to look
    like a real human dwelling.
[00:27] (Flashback) Senku
    Now, then...
[00:29] (Flashback) Senku
    I don't think I can keep hitting the
    ignore button on my exhaustion anymore.
[00:39] Senku
    Damn it! A human being on his own
    can barely make it through the day.
[00:43] Senku
    Never mind science and progress.
[00:47] Senku
    If only I had one more person
    with a lot of strength...
[00:57] Senku
    I've already had my eye on this one.
[00:59] Senku
    Right by where I was revived,
[01:02] Senku
    I'd seen the uncannily masculine hand
    of a guy who'd been swept here
[01:06] Senku
    from the same direction as me.
[01:17] (Flashback) Senku
    Although I've already seen more of
    this face than I ever wanted to...
[01:21] (Flashback) Senku
    It's been 3,700 years, huh?
[01:25] (Flashback) Senku
    Hey, big oaf.
[01:28] (Flashback) Senku
    Now, then...
[01:29] (Flashback) Senku
    Time to get started on the Senku Laboratory.
[01:32] (Flashback) Senku
    Yo, big oaf.
[01:34] (Flashback) Senku
    What will it take for you
    to wake up like I did?
[01:38] Senku
    What exactly was it that petrified
    all of humanity 3,700 years ago?
SIGN    Alien Technological Attack Hypothesis
[01:46] Senku
    Number one...
[01:47] (Flashback) Alien A
    Dude, earthlings are so lame.
[01:49] (Flashback) Alien A
    Let's turn them all into stone.
[01:52] (Flashback) Alien B
    It did work on the swallows.
[01:54] (Flashback) Alien B
    Petrification Beam!
[01:56] (Flashback) Alien A
    Lawl, this is exhilarating!
SIGN    Some Nation's Military Weapon Hypothesis
[01:59] Senku
    Number two...
[02:02] (Flashback) Gen. Senku
    The petrification device
    is finally complete!
[02:07] (Flashback) Gen. Senku
    Oh, crap! It backfired!
SIGN    New
    Virus
    Strain
    Hypothesis
[02:11] Senku
    Number three...
[02:14] (Flashback) Virus A
    We're petrification viruses!
[02:16] (Flashback) Virus B
    We infect only humans and swallows!
[02:19] (Flashback) Virus B
    Rofl, this is exhilarating!
[02:24] Senku
    The only thing that's certain
[02:26] Senku
    is that it targeted humans
    and swallows specifically.
[02:31] Senku
    It seems like some kind of insane fantasy,
    but there must be some underlying rule.
[02:35] Senku
    Which means I can fight it.
[02:38] Senku
    Figuring out the rules
    is the basis of science.
[02:42] (Flashback) Senku
    I'm standing in the face of an
    uncharted branch of science.
[02:49] (Flashback) Senku
    This is exhilarating.
[02:52] Senku
    Now, think.
[02:54] Senku
    How did I get out of my petrification?
[02:57] Senku
    Was it just simple deterioration?
[02:59] Senku
    If it was deterioration, wouldn't the
    exposed surface have broken down first?
[03:07] Senku
    But the stone statues are
    stone all the way through.
[03:11] Senku
    For me,
[03:12] Senku
    the surface stayed stone while the rest
    of me changed back into living cells.
[03:17] Senku
    It's the other way around!
[03:19] Senku
    The surface was too deteriorated
    to revert to living cells.
[03:22] Senku
    That's why it turned into a stone husk.
[03:25] Senku
    The parts of the surface that happened
    to be less petrified reverted to cells.
[03:30] Senku
    That must be why there are
    pieces missing from the shell.
[03:34] Senku
    So I wasn't revived
    because of deterioration.
[03:39] Senku
    There's some special, outside factor.
[03:42] Senku
    The fragments closest to my head
    were on the ground in a pile.
[03:47] Senku
    Which means the revival
    started from my head.
[03:55] (Flashback) Senku
    There's something in there.
[04:09] (Flashback) Senku
    This smell...
[04:11] (Flashback) Senku
    Nitric acid!
[04:14] Senku
    The hair on the back of my
    neck is still petrified.
[04:20] Senku
    Let's try it on this stone hair.
[05:08] Senku
    Why did only I need nitric acid?
[05:12] Senku
    It's not working one millimeter
    on Taiju or the others.
[05:17] Senku
    Why?
[05:18] Senku
    What's the difference between
    me and the rest of them?
[05:23] Senku
    Think...
[05:25] Senku
    I just need a hypothesis.
[05:27] Senku
    Think.
[05:29] Senku
    Think...
[05:31] Senku
    That's it! I was thinking!
[05:35] Senku
    I stayed conscious for all 3,700 years.
[05:40] Senku
    The brain burns through
    400 calories in a day.
[05:44] Senku
    Over 3,700 years,
    that works out to 2 terajoules.
[05:49] Senku
    Where did all that energy come from?
[05:52] Senku
    E=mc².
[05:55] Senku
    Energy and mass have
    equivalent exchange.
[05:59] Senku
    It's the foundation of science
    that Old Man Einstein derived.
[06:03] Senku
    There's simply no way to
    make energy from nothing.
[06:07] Senku
    There's something in the stone that I was
    consuming in order to use my brain.
[06:12] Senku
    Which means if I can figure out what
    that was, I can undo the petrification.
[06:17] Senku
    Try everything.
[06:19] Senku
    Just try it.
[06:22] Senku
    I really want to try nital,
    the industrial etching solution.
[06:28] Senku
    Damn it.
[06:29] Senku
    Too bad I don't have alcohol.
SIGN    Laboratory
[06:32] Senku
    Believe.
[06:34] Senku
    Try, try, try, try, try, try...
[06:40] Senku
    And try some more.
[06:45] Senku
    Never forget.
[06:47] Senku
    Petrification may be a fantasy,
[06:52] Senku
    but the foundations of science are absolute.
[07:02] (Flashback) Senku
    I need more manpower.
[07:05] (Flashback) Senku
    Take the nitric acid and wake
    up already, you blockhead!
[07:11] (Flashback) Senku
    You're awake, aren't you?
[07:13] (Flashback) Senku
    You've been awake for
    the past 3,700 years!
[07:15] (Flashback) Senku
    You're no different from me.
[07:18] (Flashback) Senku
    You don't know when to give up!
[07:24] Taiju
    Senku! I...
[07:27] (Flashback) Senku
    Taiju...
[07:29] Taiju
    I'll believe in you and wait
    for as long as it takes.
[07:29] (Flashback) Senku
    I'll believe in you and wait
    for as long as it takes.
[07:32] Taiju
    I'm hopeless without you!
[07:32] (Flashback) Senku
    I'm hopeless without you!
[07:36] (Flashback) Senku
    Come back, Taiju!
[07:37] Senku
    Come back, Senku!
[08:21] Taiju
    It stopped raining.
[08:25] Senku
    The thunderstorm that was
    keeping us camouflaged is gone.
[08:29] Senku
    Don't raise your voices.
[08:31] Senku
    If Tsukasa hears us,
    we'll be instantly screwed.
[08:35] Taiju
    You're right!
[08:36] Yuzuriha
    He's not coming, is he?
[08:49] Senku
    I'm impressed you noticed my neck.
[08:52] Senku
    I hardly gave you a speck of a hint.
[08:55] Senku
    Taiju, Yuzuriha, you both
    get ten billion points.
SIGN    Two Nations of the Stone World
[10:42] Yuzuriha
    Sen...
[10:43] Taiju
    ...ku...
[10:48] Senku
    Never mind my cervical nerve,
    you just crushed my entire body!
[10:52] Senku
    I'll kill you!
[10:59] Senku
    I'm sure you know not to, but don't
    go thanking me for every little thing.
[11:05] Senku
    I won't thank you, either.
[11:10] Yuzuriha
    Welcome back, Senku-kun.
[11:19] Yuzuriha
    Don't you think the shape on this
    hide kind of looks like a rocket?
[11:22] Taiju
    There are star-looking things, too!
[11:24] Senku
    They don't look anything like it.
[11:26] Yuzuriha
    It looks like a science flag.
    I bet it'll look good on Senku-kun.
[11:29] Yuzuriha
    Let's put it on his neck, just in case.
[11:31] Taiju
    Oh, yeah!
[11:32] Taiju
    It'll be even better with a splint. See?
[11:35] Senku
    Uh, I really don't need this.
[11:37] Senku
    I'm all better now.
[11:40] Senku
    Professor Senku's self-sacrificing
    human experiment was a success.
[11:44] Senku
    The restorative effects of undoing
    petrification are too damn high.
[11:50] Taiju
    The petrification that's given us so
    much grief is what cured you, too, huh?
[11:55] Taiju
    You said it when we made soap, too...
[11:58] Taiju
    But maybe this petrification is the
    stone of life that replaces doctors for us.
[12:03] Taiju
    It's Doctor Stone!
[12:15] Senku
    Come to think of it, it's weird.
[12:18] Senku
    When the petrification is undone,
    it repairs everything around it, too.
[12:22] Senku
    What a considerate
    scientific phenomenon.
[12:27] Senku
    I've been thinking this whole time...
[12:30] Senku
    Who petrified humanity?
[12:33] Senku
    Who attacked us?
[12:36] Senku
    No...
[12:37] Senku
    Was it really even an attack?
[12:46] Yuzuriha
    If it can fix Senku-kun's neck,
[12:49] Yuzuriha
    maybe if we piece together
[12:51] Yuzuriha
    the shattered statues and pour revival fluid
    on them, it'll put people back together.
[12:56] Senku
    I tried that right at the beginning.
[12:57] Senku
    They just went back to
    being a shattered corpse.
[13:01] Senku
    Why wouldn't it work if
    it's so regenerative?
[13:08] Senku
    Yuzuriha...
[13:11] Senku
    Taiju's ten billion percent
    too crude for this.
[13:14] Senku
    You're our ultra-skillful
    crafts club member.
[13:19] Senku
    It'll be a grueling mission.
[13:21] Senku
    Can you do it?
[13:34] Yuzuriha
    That really is really grueling.
[13:37] Yuzuriha
    But I'll do it!
[13:40] Senku
    That was quick.
[13:41] Yuzuriha
    Craft is all about perseverance!
[13:43] Taiju
    Are you sharing secrets?
[13:46] Taiju
    No fair! Let me in on it!
[13:49] Yuzuriha
    I, um... was saying maybe we
    should go see Tsukasa-kun.
[13:54] Taiju
    Oh, yeah?
[13:56] Taiju
    Tsukasa's place, huh?
[13:58] Taiju
    What?!
[13:59] Taiju
    Why?!
[14:01] Taiju
    He's the dangerous man
    that killed Senku!
[14:03] Taiju
    I mean, he's not dead,
    and he was a good guy, but...
[14:08] Taiju
    At the very least,
    he thought he'd killed Senku!
[14:12] Senku
    That's exactly what we
    accomplished in that fight.
[14:17] Senku
    Tsukasa thinks I'm in the afterlife now.
[14:21] Senku
    Meanwhile, I can always
    know where Tsukasa is.
[14:25] Senku
    We'll have a giant advantage in this battle,
[14:28] Senku
    if you two can infiltrate the
    Tsukasa Empire as spies.
[14:36] Senku
    I gave Yuzuriha the details
    about the mission.
[14:39] Senku
    Taiju, you protect Yuzuriha.
[14:42] Senku
    Blockheads like you are better
    off not knowing everything.
[14:46] Taiju
    All right, I got it.
[14:47] Taiju
    I'll do it.
[14:49] Senku
    Tsukasa intends to use the miracle water,
[14:53] Senku
    revival fluid, to amass an army of young people
    to make a new world ruled by military might.
[14:59] Senku
    In order to defeat the Tsukasa Empire
[15:02] Senku
    and stop the mass destruction that
    is the purification of humanity...
[15:07] Senku
    We'll have to make a revolutionary army
    that can combat them using science.
[15:11] Yuzuriha
    But how are you going to do that on your own?
[15:14] Taiju
    Yeah.
[15:16] Taiju
    If Tsukasa has the miracle water,
    the nitric acid, you can't make gunpowder,
[15:21] Taiju
    and you can't grow your manpower.
[15:25] Senku
    The answer is obvious.
[15:29] Senku
    I'm going to find the mystery people
    who fired the smoke signals
[15:32] Senku
    and get them on my side.
[15:36] Senku
    The problem is that they might
    encounter Tsukasa first.
[15:42] Senku
    I'll just have to bet on the
    chance that they haven't.
[15:46] (Flashback) Taiju
    So, going forward, the two of us
    will be spies in the Tsukasa Empire.
[15:51] (Flashback) Taiju
    You'll be finding allies for a
    scientific revolutionary army.
[15:55] (Flashback) Taiju
    And we'll each be fighting our own battles.
[16:00] (Flashback) Senku
    That's the idea.
[16:02] (Flashback) Senku
    I'm getting all teary-eyed
    thinking about our sad goodbye.
[16:09] Yuzuriha
    You're both so casual about this.
[16:12] Yuzuriha
    Guys really are stoic with each other, huh?
[16:15] Taiju
    Yeah.
[16:16] Taiju
    Senku is always logical.
[16:19] Taiju
    We won't be seeing each
    other for a while.
[16:22] Taiju
    Not for weeks, months, maybe even...
[16:44] Taiju
    Senku!
[16:46] Taiju
    I promise—
[16:47] Taiju
    Wait, I can't raise my voice.
[17:10] Senku
    Hang in there for the
    short while that I'm gone.
[17:13] Senku
    Hey, you've been waiting 3,700 years.
[17:17] Senku
    A few more months or years is no big deal.
[17:25] Senku
    We're going to build our kingdom of science.
[17:48] Tsukasa
    Rear right, 57 meters.
[17:51] Tsukasa
    Yes, you, the one who's been following
    me quietly for the past two minutes.
[17:56] Tsukasa
    Who are you?
[18:09] Tsukasa
    Blue eyes.
[18:10] Tsukasa
    She's young.
[18:12] Tsukasa
    Did Taiju and the others just revive her?
[18:15] Tsukasa
    Or are there other ways
    for people to be revived?
[18:33] Tsukasa
    Now, that's not nice.
[18:35] Tsukasa
    Shouldn't you say "Nice to meet you" first?
[18:38] Kohaku
    Shut your mouth!
[18:39] Kohaku
    Save your introductions for Hell.
[18:56] Tsukasa
    Impossible.
[18:58] Tsukasa
    She's too young to have such skill.
[19:00] Tsukasa
    There's no way the martial arts
    community wouldn't have heard of her.
[19:03] Tsukasa
    Who is she?
[19:05] Kohaku
    I saw everything!
[19:07] Kohaku
    You took a woman hostage,
[19:08] Kohaku
    and then you ruthlessly killed the
    gentleman who took the hit for her.
[19:14] Kohaku
    I couldn't hear what
    you were talking about,
[19:16] Kohaku
    but I have no interest
    in your background.
[19:20] Kohaku
    Repent to the sorcerer gentleman
    until your soul rots away!
[19:29] Tsukasa
    Sorcerer?
[19:32] Kohaku
    You were just bathed in it moments
    ago, and you've forgotten already?
[19:35] Kohaku
    You were summoning the mountain's wrath
    with your suspicious black powder!
[19:39] Tsukasa
    The mountain's wrath?
[19:42] Tsukasa
    A volcanic eruption?
[19:46] Tsukasa
    So you may not be one of the revived,
    but rather, one of their children.
[19:53] Tsukasa
    Or...
[19:55] Tsukasa
    What generation are you?
[20:00] Tsukasa
    She's of a pure, primitive
    people with no science.
[20:04] Tsukasa
    I could rule over them easily.
[20:06] Tsukasa
    I could kill them easily.
[20:08] Tsukasa
    There's no reason to attack them.
[20:12] Tsukasa
    Thus my immediate goal
    is to return to the cave.
[20:17] Tsukasa
    Taiju and Yuzuriha have
    seen how to make gunpowder.
[20:21] Tsukasa
    I need to claim the miracle
    water before they do.
[20:26] Tsukasa
    This is goodbye.
[21:03] Kohaku
    You're... the sorcerer gentleman
    who protected that woman.
[21:08] Kohaku
    You're alive!
[21:09] Senku
    Stop talking.
[21:11] Senku
    You can introduce yourself
    all you want later.
[21:14] Senku
    Don't waste your energy.
[21:18] Senku
    Can you hold out until evening?
[21:21] Senku
    If you're at your limit,
[21:23] Senku
    I'll take a gamble and blow it up with
    the little gunpowder I have left.
[21:26] Senku
    But if you can hold on,
[21:27] Senku
    it'll take forever, but I'll
    save you, ten billion percent.
[21:32] Senku
    You're the only one who
    can make the decision!
[21:35] Senku
    Decide right now!
[21:37] Senku
    Which is it?
[21:41] Kohaku
    Yeah, my organs and bones are all fine.
[21:44] Kohaku
    I can hold on.
[21:59] Senku
    I'd say the fallen tree
    weighs roughly one ton.
[22:02] Senku
    To get it to one side would take
    half of that, 500 kilograms.
[22:05] Senku
    Assuming my own weight is
    just over 60 kilograms,
[22:08] Senku
    multiplied by 2 to the 3rd power
    to get to 500 kilograms...
[22:10] Senku
    I can just barely make it with three.
[22:12] ---
    Maybe I don't know what to do
[22:14] ---
    Hurry up, my mind is on the moon
[22:16] Senku
    The bamboo's barely strong enough.
[22:17] ---
    Flying up to where the wind blew
[22:19] Senku
    I'll just have to pack them with dirt.
[22:20] ---
    In my hands awakens
[22:22] ---
    The passion overflowing
[22:24] ---
    Just wandering through this world
[22:25] Senku
    Who would have thought that
    soap would be so useful now?
[22:26] ---
    Your one shining pure
[22:28] ---
    Could never be pierced
    with a rusty knife
[22:29] Senku
    It's an all-star team of
    Great Professor Senku's inventions.
[22:30] ---
    I'm burning like a fire gone wild
[22:32] ---
    The moment an arrow
    shot through my heart
[22:35] ---
    The noise plaguing me was released
[22:37] Kohaku
    What is this?
[22:37] ---
    Everything was different
    from that moment on
[22:39] Senku
    This is science.
[22:39] ---
    If I don't try, I'll never know
[22:41] Senku
    It was invented by Old Man
    Archimedes a few hundred years BC.
[22:42] ---
    Why do flowers bloom?
[22:46] Senku
    It converts the measly strength of a
    high school kid into Herculean might.
[22:47] ---
    Your voice echoes
[22:51] Senku
    It's called a pulley!
[22:51] ---
    Tell me why?
[22:53] ---
    I just shouted to the sky
[22:55] ---
    But you are no no no longer here,
    that's right?
[22:57] ---
    The life we confirmed that day
[23:02] ---
    You can call it a fleeting
    dream if you want
[23:08] ---
    But I'll save you from a wounded today
[23:20] Kohaku
    Amazing.
[23:23] Kohaku
    No, I'm not talking about
    that Archi-whoever's wisdom.
[23:28] Kohaku
    I'm talking about your unwavering diligence
    in forcing yourself through every step
[23:33] Kohaku
    until you solve a problem.
[23:39] Kohaku
    My name is Kohaku.
[23:41] Kohaku
    It seems I've taken quite a liking to you.
