[00:24] Senku
    With the gourmet dish of science...
[00:29] Senku
    I can find enough manpower to make steel.
[00:33] Senku
    One foxtail millet ramen!
[00:39] Ganen
    It's so chewy! This is amazing!
[00:42] Kujaku
    If Ganen the glutton says so, well...
[00:46] Shovel
    Oh, man! Oh, man!
[00:48] Shovel
    It's so slippery and delicious!
[00:50] Ruby
    Are you the one who made this tasty stuff?
[00:53] Ruby
    Your name's Senku-kun?
[00:54] Ruby
    What kind of girls do you like?
[00:56] Senku
    A girl who can pump a ton
    of oxygen into the furnace.
[00:59] Kohaku
    He's way too blunt.
[01:01] Kohaku
    You never make small talk
    or anything, do you, Senku?
[01:06] Chrome
    Hey, Kinro, Ginro!
[01:08] Chrome
    Just try this!
[01:10] Chrome
    This ramen stuff is insane!
[01:13] Kinro
    We will not consume that
    questionable sorcery food!
[01:16] Kinro
    And for the guards to accept gifts
    of food is out of the question.
[01:20] Kinro
    Rules are rules.
[01:22] Chrome
    Yeah? Then what's that?
[01:25] Chrome
    You won't take food,
    but you'll take a golden spear?
[01:28] Ginro
    Yeah, yeah!
[01:36] Jasper
    Chief, your daughter is...
    Kohaku is feeding the villagers.
[01:42] Kokuyo
    What?
[01:44] Jasper
    Shall we go?
[01:45] Kokuyo
    What for?
[01:47] Jasper
    To eat.
[01:49] Kokuyo
    Why would I go?
[01:54] Ruri
    Kohaku...
[01:56] Ruri
    What are you doing with the outsider?
[01:59] Suika
    Here you go!
[02:01] Suika
    I'm losing track of who I've served!
[02:04] Kohaku
    The response is amazing.
[02:06] Kohaku
    Everyone's coming over.
[02:09] Senku
    No problem.
[02:10] Senku
    I'll just work them to death in
    proportion to however much they ate.
[02:15] Kohaku
    You really do make sketchy faces.
[02:19] Gen
    This is making me thirsty for a drink.
[02:22] Gen
    Like, say, cola.
[02:25] Senku
    Cola?
[02:29] Kohaku
    Senku, is he with you?
[02:31] Senku
    No.
[02:32] Ginro
    Ramen!
[02:33] Ginro
    Ramen! Ramen! Ramen!
[02:34] Chrome
    Come on, the noodles are going to get soggy.
[02:36] Kohaku
    Kinro, Ginro, stop squabbling for a moment.
[02:39] Kinro
    What?
[02:40] Kinro
    What are—
[02:42] Kohaku
    I'll get to the point.
[02:45] Kohaku
    Enemies.
[02:49] Kohaku
    Answer truthfully, or I'll
    slit your throat here and now.
[02:53] Kohaku
    Are you one of the long-haired
    man's underlings?
[03:01] Gen
    Hey, I wouldn't mind being taken
    out by a cute girl like you,
[03:05] Gen
    but I think you have me
    confused for someone else.
[03:11] Gen
    I don't know anything
    about a long-haired man.
[03:14] Gen
    I've been by myself ever
    since I was un-petrified.
SIGN    Let There Be the Light of Science
[04:58] Senku
    I thought I'd seen your face somewhere.
[05:01] Senku
    You're Asagiri Gen.
[05:03] Kohaku
    Are you acquainted?
[05:04] Senku
    No, not one bit.
[05:07] Senku
    He's a magician who used to
    write trashy psychology books.
SIGN    Magic Psychology
    Asagiri Gen
[05:10] Gen
    You've read my work?
[05:12] Gen
    I'm so happy.
[05:14] Gen
    Calling it "trashy" hurts, though.
[05:16] Gen
    Call me a mentalist.
[05:18] Gen
    Look, I'll apologize for taking the ramen,
[05:22] Gen
    so would you please lower your weapons?
[05:25] Gen
    I'm so scared, my arms
    and legs are trembling.
[05:28] Gen
    I might spill this delicious ramen.
[05:31] Ginro
    I-I'll hold on to it for you!
[05:34] Kohaku
    He's full of crap.
[05:36] Gen
    I was out looking for food
    by myself when, surprise,
[05:39] Gen
    the nostalgic scent of ramen
    hit me, and I wandered over.
[05:43] Kohaku
    This man isn't the least bit terrified.
[05:46] Kohaku
    And the words he weaves with his mouth
    carry as little weight as a feather.
[05:46] Gen
    Man, it's such a terrible lifestyle out there.
[05:52] Senku
    Sure, whatever. I'll take your word for it.
[05:55] Senku
    Either way, there's no such
    thing as a free lunch.
[05:58] Senku
    Everyone who's had ramen has work to do.
[06:08] Chrome
    We upgraded the blowing function!
[06:10] Chrome
    Iron mill furnace, level 2!
[06:13] Kohaku
    I think this'll work if we take turns!
[06:19] Senku
    Asagiri Gen.
[06:22] Senku
    How are Taiju and Yuzuriha doing?
[06:27] Gen
    Oh, I see.
[06:29] Gen
    You thought you could get me to
    fess up while I'm busting my ass.
[06:33] Gen
    You have guts, pulling tricks
    like that on a mentalist.
[06:39] Gen
    Don't worry, though.
[06:41] Gen
    Taiju-chan's got an especially
    bottomless supply of strength.
[06:45] Gen
    You know, don't you, Senku-chan?
[06:48] Kohaku
    He's definitely with the long-haired man.
[06:51] Kohaku
    Should I kill him?
[06:51] Senku
    Hold it, idiot.
[06:53] Senku
    Asagiri Gen.
[06:55] Senku
    You ten billion percent knew
    I was trying to make you talk.
[06:58] Senku
    Why did you suddenly decide to
    admit that you're with Tsukasa?
[07:04] Gen
    The tides have turned
    now that I've seen this.
[07:41] Gen
    My job is to confirm that you're dead.
[07:46] Gen
    "Tsukasa, Senku is alive."
[07:49] Gen
    With that, you would be done.
[07:52] Gen
    That was the plan.
[07:55] Gen
    But if you complete your iron weapons,
    there's no telling who will win.
[08:04] Chrome
    Finally!
SIGN    Acquired iron!!
[08:09] Chrome
    Here we go!
[08:09] Gen
    "I only found a primitive settlement.
[08:13] Gen
    Senku is dead."
[08:15] Gen
    That simple false report would spare you.
[08:21] Senku
    I'd really appreciate it if you would do that.
[08:25] Gen
    I don't have any policy at all.
[08:27] Gen
    I'm the world's most shallow man.
[08:29] Gen
    If I can live happily with cute
    chicks, that's all I need.
[08:33] Gen
    Whether you die or Tsukasa
    dies doesn't matter to me.
[08:39] Gen
    I'm going to win, no matter
    who I have to dispose of.
[08:43] Gen
    I can't decide if it'll be better for
    me if I let the kingdom of science
[08:47] Gen
    or the Tsukasa Empire win.
[08:50] Gen
    That's all I have any interest in.
[08:53] Gen
    On this side, there's plenty of sweet
    science stuff and ramen and all that,
[08:57] Gen
    but the work is hellish.
[09:01] Gen
    Meanwhile, Tsukasa-chan's empire has
    no science and the meals are simple,
[09:05] Gen
    but the work's easy.
[09:07] Gen
    And if I revive idols and stuff,
    I'll be living the dream harem life.
[09:11] Suika
    What's a harem?
[09:13] Gen
    Sorry, children don't need to know yet.
[09:17] Suika
    I think ramen's better for sure.
[09:21] Gen
    Ramen's nice, but not on hot days like this.
[09:24] Gen
    At the end of the day,
    I'd side with Tsukasa-chan.
[09:27] Kohaku
    Asagiri Gen, was it?
[09:30] Kohaku
    Superficial, selfish men like
    you are best dead or imprisoned.
[09:35] Gen
    So scary!
[09:36] Senku
    No, if we don't let him go back,
[09:38] Senku
    Tsukasa will come here himself,
    and we'll be screwed.
[09:46] Senku
    Relax.
[09:48] Senku
    Once you see what we make
    with our beautiful new iron,
[09:53] Senku
    you'll ten billion percent want
    to join the kingdom of science.
[09:57] Gen
    Oh? What's that?
[09:59] Gen
    Are you making swords or something?
[10:03] Senku
    A generator.
[10:08] Gen
    A generator?!
[10:09] Gen
    Are you for real?!
[10:11] Gen
    That's totally not happening!
[10:12] Senku
    Hey, you have native copper.
[10:15] Chrome
    It's pretty. I don't want to break it.
[10:18] Senku
    We'll melt it down to make copper wire.
[10:19] Chrome
    He's not even listening. Damn.
[10:21] Senku
    Now, if only we'd get some lightning...
[10:33] Jasper
    Anger of the heavens!
[10:34] Jasper
    It's lightning!
[10:35] Algo
    If it hits you, you're dead!
[10:38] Algo
    Women and children, get inside!
[10:40] Jasper
    Hurry, quick!
[10:42] Suika
    We actually got lightning.
[10:43] Kohaku
    Well, it is thunderstorm season.
[10:46] Chrome
    We're way too lucky!
[10:48] Senku
    No, idiot! This is the worst case scenario!
[10:51] Senku
    We aren't prepared at all!
[10:53] Gen
    You aren't making a lightning
    generator, are you?
[10:56] Senku
    There's no such thing.
[10:57] Gen
    Of course.
[10:58] Senku
    Magnets.
[11:00] Senku
    I can make a generator if I have magnets.
[11:02] Suika
    We have some of the iron sand that we got.
[11:05] Senku
    The natural stuff isn't
    anywhere near strong enough.
[11:08] Senku
    We're going to catch the
    lightning with an iron rod
[11:10] Senku
    and make a high-power magnet
    with the power of science.
[11:13] Senku
    I was going to put up a stupid
    number of lightning rods,
[11:17] Senku
    but we can't pass up this opportunity.
[11:19] Senku
    We're going to get set up immediately.
[11:24] Senku
    We're moving lightning fast, literally!
[11:28] Senku
    Melt the copper.
[11:30] Senku
    Kohaku's shield is coated with lacquer.
[11:32] Senku
    It's somewhere in the village!
[11:35] Suika
    I brought the lacquer!
[11:37] Senku
    Lacquer is a crazy good insulator.
[11:40] Senku
    Coat the iron rod with it.
[11:43] Gen
    What are you doing?
[11:46] Ginro
    Wh-What are you doing with the bridge planks?
[11:50] Kohaku
    I carved a channel in the plank.
[11:53] Senku
    Pour the copper into the channel.
[11:55] Senku
    Wrap the solidified copper
    all around the iron.
[12:01] Shovel
    Oh no, oh no! The foreigners
    are destroying the bridge!
[12:09] Magma
    So he's finally showing
    his true, evil colors.
[12:12] Carbo
    I bet they called down the anger of
    the heavens with their sorcery, too.
[12:17] Mantle
    Yeah!
[12:18] Mantle
    Let me take care of it.
[12:19] Mantle
    I'll kill them.
[12:26] Chrome
    Shoot, it's Magma!
[12:28] Kohaku
    He's not one to listen to reason.
[12:30] Kohaku
    We're going to have to fight them!
[12:32] Senku
    We're screwed if we go to war
    against the village right now.
[12:35] Senku
    Damn it, what can we do?
[12:38] Gen
    I guess I don't have a choice.
[12:40] Gen
    I'd rather not get killed in the fray.
[12:45] Gen
    Can I have a bouquet of flowers, Suika-chan?
[12:50] Gen
    Flowers over war.
[13:00] Carbo
    Why the hell is this sly guy holding flowers?
[13:05] Mantle
    Yeah!
[13:06] Magma
    Were you the one who summoned
    the anger of the heavens?
[13:10] Magma
    You have balls, coming to
    me to get yourself killed.
[13:14] Gen
    Oh, no, no. It's the other way around.
[13:17] Gen
    We're here to stop the
    lightning with our sorcery.
[13:21] Magma
    Quit talking out of your ass.
[13:24] Gen
    Like this.
[13:28] Magma
    It actually disappeared right before our eyes!
[13:31] Kohaku
    That's enough to keep
    it out of Magma's sight?
[13:34] Senku
    It's a trick called the
    back palm or something.
[13:37] Senku
    Magicians do it with cards and stuff.
[13:41] Senku
    Not bad, you fraud magician.
[14:00] Senku
    It's not impossible at all.
[14:02] Senku
    An old guy named Wasilewski at NASA
    has already succeeded in an experiment
[14:07] Senku
    to make magnets using lightning.
[14:11] (Flashback) Wasilewski
    Wasilewski!
[14:17] Chrome
    I happened to find this crazy
    rock on a bald mountain!
[14:22] Senku
    Chrome, this is the fruit of
    your ten years of exploration.
[14:27] Chrome
    That's right. Are you amazed or what?
[14:30] Senku
    We're here, at the bald mountain.
[14:32] Chrome
    It's the perfect spot for lightning.
[14:34] Chrome
    There's no better place.
[14:44] Senku
    Set up the lightning rod, quick!
[14:49] Ginro
    They're making a tower or something.
[14:51] Ginro
    I want to help—
[14:52] Kinro
    Ginro!
[14:53] Kinro
    You just want a silver spear, don't you?
[14:55] Kinro
    Our job is to keep an eye on them.
[14:57] Kinro
    Rules are rules.
[15:00] Senku
    The lightning's closing in.
[15:02] Chrome
    Crap, we don't have time
    to build a proper tower.
[15:05] Chrome
    But, damn it, we need to
    make it as tall as we can.
[15:08] Kohaku
    If only there were something long
    we could shove into the ground...
[15:15] Kinro
    N-No!
[15:17] Kinro
    Anything but my spear!
[15:18] Ginro
    So you do like it.
[15:34] Kinro
    My spear!
[15:44] Senku
    And so the god of lightning descends.
[15:55] Gen
    What's up with you, Senku-chan?
[15:57] Gen
    There's nothing to work with
    in this stone-age world.
[16:00] Gen
    Are you seriously going to...
[16:13] Senku
    Electricity, born with a bang.
[16:18] Senku
    This is exhilarating.
[16:20] Chrome
    Yeah!
[16:22] Chrome
    We got a magnet for the generator!
[16:30] Ginro
    Jeez, the golden spear's in pieces.
[16:33] Kohaku
    Sorry, but you'll have to forgive me, Kinro.
[16:35] Kohaku
    It was an emergency.
[16:37] Suika
    I'm sure Senku will make you another one.
[16:40] Ginro
    Hey, where'd your spear go?
[16:43] Ginro
    It's gone, eh?
[16:44] Ginro
    The golden spear that you had made
    for you and never let me borrow.
[16:48] Ginro
    Huh?
[16:53] Kohaku
    Senku, we may have failed to make magnets.
[16:57] Kohaku
    They won't go near each other, let alone stick!
[16:59] Kohaku
    They're being repelled
    by some mysterious force.
[17:03] Senku
    You have the poles backwards.
SIGN    Acquired powerful magnets!!
[17:10] Suika
    They're so strong!
[17:13] Chrome
    Now we can make that crazy
    "electricity" thing, right?
SIGN    Iron
SIGN    Powerful Magnets
SIGN    Copper
SIGN    Phosphorus
SIGN    Electricity
[17:22] Gen
    But Senku-chan, are you
    making a thermal generator?
[17:26] Gen
    Wind turbines?
[17:28] Gen
    Don't tell me you're making a nuclear reactor.
[17:32] Senku
    Muscle-powered generator.
[17:34] Gen
    Of course. I should have known.
[17:43] Gen
    Whack the hell out of the copper
    sheet and file it down into a disk.
[17:53] Chrome
    Check it out!
[17:54] Chrome
    I'm going to file it down with corundum,
    that tough rock I showed you before!
[17:59] Senku
    The second-strongest mineral after diamond.
[18:01] Senku
    I like your collection, Chrome.
[18:08] Senku
    I thought of coating the copper
    wire with phosphoric acid,
[18:11] Senku
    but lathering it in lacquer works, too.
[18:14] Gen
    So, Senku-chan...
[18:16] Gen
    I've been wondering when
    I should bring this up...
[18:20] ---
    What?
[18:21] Gen
    Why have you turned into Anpanman?
[18:24] Senku
    Lacquer rash.
[18:30] Chrome
    All right!
[18:32] Senku
    It's the kingdom of science's special...
[18:38] Senku
    dual-wield hand-crank generator.
SIGN    Acquired power generator!!
[18:43] Kohaku
    We have to spin the two
    disks at the same time?
[18:46] Kohaku
    That'll be pretty hard.
[18:48] Suika
    We just need two people to do it together.
[18:50] Chrome
    We'll have to spin it in perfect
    timing, or it'll crumble to bits.
[18:54] Senku
    If only there were two people
[18:56] Senku
    who worked in perfect sync
    and had a lot of energy...
[19:03] Kinro
    You lot again.
[19:05] Kinro
    What do you want this time?
[19:07] Chrome
    I'll show you our badass
    science machine! Come with us!
[19:09] Kinro
    Why would I go?
[19:12] Kohaku
    You're as stubborn as ever.
[19:15] Kohaku
    What are you not satisfied with?
[19:18] Senku
    He's obviously upset about his
    golden spear getting wrecked.
[19:25] Gen
    Man, electricity is so amazing.
[19:28] Gen
    In technological civilization,
[19:30] Gen
    our world of sorcery, all sorts of
    contraptions work on electricity.
[19:36] Gen
    With electricity, we might even be able
    to make and repair gold and silver spears.
[19:42] Gen
    Right, Senku-chan?
[19:44] Senku
    Electrocoating isn't that easy.
[19:47] Senku
    Do you even know the recipe?
[19:49] Gen
    I don't know a single thing.
[19:51] Kohaku
    Asagiri Gen...
[19:53] Kohaku
    Your words really are as flimsy as a feather.
[20:04] Kohaku
    You can count on the brothers to be
    perfectly in sync with each other.
[20:07] Senku
    Now that we have Kinro and Ginro,
[20:09] Senku
    the kingdom of science is
    really starting to shape up.
[20:12] Gen
    Are they really making electricity?
[20:20] Senku
    This is a steam-roasted bamboo string.
[20:27] Kohaku
    Do you need it to be a high spot?
[20:29] Senku
    It doesn't matter.
[20:31] Senku
    But, hey, we might as well.
[20:39] Gen
    I see. It's an Edison light bulb
    made using Japanese bamboo.
[20:45] Suika
    Edison light bulb?
[20:48] Senku
    Chrome, are you afraid of the night?
[20:51] Chrome
    Yeah, it is dark, after all.
[20:55] Chrome
    Why do you ask?
[20:59] Senku
    There's no darkness in my age.
[21:05] Senku
    Old Edison erased night from the world
    with his incandescent light bulb.
[21:10] Senku
    He conquered the twenty-four-hour day.
[21:15] Senku
    With science, humanity defeated the night.
[21:22] Senku
    This is going to light the darkness
[21:24] Senku
    of the night for the first time in 3,700 years.
[21:28] Senku
    It's the flame of science.
