[gunshot]

[gasps]

Um, what was that noise?

It's sorcery!

[Yo] Ibara! You have the right to remain silent!

[Ibara groans]

[chuckles] I've been dying to say that for years!

I shot one bullet in the air and a second at Moz,

but I saved the last one for the big bad.

Crap you say will be used against you!

How'd the rest go? And is this battery?

Obstruction of something-or-other.

Ah, whatever.

The point is, you're under arrest! For being a jerk!

[Ibara groans]

[gasps]

[grunting]

[screaming]

[laughs] Sweet victory!

Snatched the Medusa!

[opening theme song playing]

-[Moz and Hyoga yelling] -[spears clanging]

Now, with this baby in our hands, we've pretty much already won!

And your boy Yo, here, made it all happen!

Payback time!

Quadzilla will get a nice taste of vengeance for KO-ing me!

Gonna serve it stone-cold, too!

-Right! Get rocked, moron! -[screaming]

Ha-ha! The enemy's completely sunk!

-You're amazing! -[Yo laughing]

[Amaryllis] It's settled, you're the king of the Kingdom of Science, Yo!

[Senku] Your skills get me ridiculously excited.

[both grunting]

Moz is done for! Petri-beam-thing go!

[Moz and Hyoga yelling]

[Yo laughs]

[gasps]

Might help if I knew how to use it.

[panting]

[Moz] Hmm. Hyoga.

You've certainly proven your strength.

However, the way you handle your spear absolutely reeks of effort.

I can smell the sweat of all the work, of every practice.

Such a shame. You really were just doomed to lose.

Takes a genius to beat another genius.

Your fake fangs are only as sharp as they are

thanks to years of training.

I've possessed Godlike strength from the moment I was born.

[yells]

[gasps]

[water splashes]

[Moz] He didn't slip and fall. He's trying to escape.

[gasps]

[Moz] Look at him, fleeing like a scared animal.

Pathetic.

[grunting]

[Hyoga] Senku isn't the type of man

who would turn tail and run from an imminent threat.

I'd wager, they dashed off to get something.

[yells]

[Senku chuckles]

Oh, I see now!

[Hyoga] They want their battle-tested wild card

armed with his best weapon.

I have faith they'll make that happen.

Wholeheartedly.

Hang on. I have faith in Senku and the others?

Heh.

[blade clangs]

Kinro, just how thick is your spear?

Time's running out. Which one will fit?

It'll be a tight squeeze. None are quite right.

Well, the odds of finding the perfect bamboo are pretty slim.

[others] Hmm?

Not with this stuff.

Graphite gathered from chimney soot

can be combined with alcohol to create an instant lubricant.

It's your ol' pal Mecha Senku!

Hope you didn't miss me too much!

DRY LUBRICANT

Today we're looking at how ridiculously slick all carbon crystals are.

You can even make things slide with some regular pencil lead.

Have a stubborn drawer that sticks?

Etch over its edges with a pencil and it'll be butter smooth!

Though touching it will dirty your fingers.

Talk to your fam before you try this at home, kids!

-[woman growls] -[sighs]

Oh-ho-ho! Would ya look at that sheen?

And so slippery! Astounding!

A long, long time ago,

Ishigami Village's mightiest warrior, Magma,

chucked a rock across a ravine so we could pretend

we invented the ultimate weapon: the gun.

But precision is key this time. It's a tough shot.

Think you can make it, Magma?

[Magma] Hmph.

Buncha dumb wimps. You even have to ask?

[grunts]

[gasps]

[Hyoga] Thank you very much.

You are, indeed, proper allies.

[Moz] Oh?

[Hyoga] Prepare yourself, Moz. Behold a spear of science.

With 500 years of history woven in,

this is the Owari Kan Ryu style.

[gasps]

[Moz] His spear tip's circling so fast.

It looks like a full moon.

No! It's like the golden light of the sun!

[screaming]

This is impossible!

No spear in the world should be able to move at this speed,

yet somehow, you're doing it!

[Hyoga] Because I'm using what's called leverage.

The bamboo's acting as the fulcrum.

Mastering this style takes time. No one's born knowing it.

Though it might go faster with this kudayari

since it works remarkably well.

Oh, man! The kudayari's the baddest weapon ever!

Moz can't fight back!

Hyoga! Damn you!

To hell with you and your spear of sorcery!

[grunts]

[Hyoga] "Spear of sorcery," you say?

Out of all humanity's weapons,

which do you suppose is the most powerful?

One that places the human race above all others.

What lets us build upon past generations.

[yells]

[groaning]

Again.

Yes, sir.

HARD WORK WILL BE REWARDED

[Hyoga] It's the accumulation of knowledge and skills,

diligently obtained for millennia.

We perfect what we've learned until we die,

and even then, our hard work lives on

through our descendants.

I don't care if you're a "genius."

There's simply no winning against such relentless refinement.

[Yo] Hey!

Take a lap around the island or I'mma blast you with my sorcery!

[warriors whimpering]

[Yo] Not that I have ammo left.

I'd be more bite than bark if I could use this.

But at least the island won't get petrified

with the Medusa in my control.

Affect three meters in a single second.

[soft whirring]

Huh? Oh, crap!

-[Oarashi] Huh? -[Ibara] Hmm?

[Oarashi] Just what in the master's name is goin' on here?

[Ibara] Wonderful!

I'll give Oarashi the device as planned, and…

Wait, don't be rash.

Your strength lies in how cautious you are at desperate times, so play to it.

Oarashi just saw this thing's disturbing power

right before his eyes.

And since I need him to carry it to the middle of the island,

I know exactly what I have to do!

Affect 2,000 meters in 15 minutes.

[Ibara laughs]

[Ibara laughs]

[Ukyo] I heard that!

Something about meters and seconds,

followed by the warped sound of Petrification!

[Oarashi yelling]

[gasps] The guy who's running really fast looks super scared!

That's Oarashi! This is bad!

The path he's on now,

it leads straight to the center of the island!

You're up, Taiju!

Use that booming voice of yours to let Team B know the deal!

Kingdom of Science! That Oarashi dude has the Medusa!

He's gonna turn the island to stone! Stop him!

[all gasp]

[Oarashi yelling]

[Kinro, Magma and Nikki yell]

[all panting]

[warriors] Huh?

I'm not sure what's going on,

but we gotta protect Lord Oarashi!

Ah! Don't attack us!

We're saving you from being petrified, too!

[yells]

-Yeah, got him! -Ha!

[straining]

Miracle power! Go!

[Ibara] In terms of brute strength,

no living soul on this island can compete

with the likes of Oarashi.

[Ryusui] What course do we take? No time to escape out to sea!

[Senku] Think, Senku! Is there a card to play?

[Chrome] What now? What can I do?

Come on. I'm the explorer. The science user, Chrome!

And Senku always talks about how science

has gotta be replicable, so think!

Remember the Petrification Beam!

I wasn't dumbstruck.

I was observing and learning!

Senku, I took mental notes.

I saw the Medusa's Petrification attack from start to finish,

and I was front and center for the whole damn thing.

[soft whirring]

[Chrome] I measured it.

I gauged how fast the beam spreads.

That green glow, it only grows at one speed.

[grunts]

[Ryusui] If that burst of energy

was fueled by a flash of inspiration, let's hear it!

[Chrome] Might wanna sit down, 'cause this plan is sickeningly bad!

Ha-ha! [snaps fingers]

Regardless if your plan's good or bad,

we members of the Kingdom of Science don't hesitate.

As long as it means we'll progress!

[Chrome chuckles]

[Taiju yelling]

[all gasp]

But how? How is a weakling able to keep me pinned down?

And when I'm so close!

Take the device! Clock's ticking!

We have to throw that thing far away!

What? He-- He doesn't have the Medusa!

Where is it?

Get off! I just wanna make it to the only safe place!

Minister Ibara told me the middle of the island

won't be petrified!

[Oarashi] I'm swallowing water!

[gasping]

[gulps]

[Ibara chuckles]

Best hurry. There's only one safe space.

Make it to the island's center or be a stone statue!

Swim, my good Oarashi!

[all gasp]

[soft whirring]

He's despicable. The worst!

[Ibara laughing]

[warriors shouting]

Now, the rest is up to you, Senku!

Seriously?

Only you can take on the Medusa!

Use your big brain and let the power of science

show you the way!

I'll take everything that's in our arsenal

and crack through Medusa's Petrification!

This is it! Everybody on the island is doomed!

[gasps]

[Ukyo] If nothing else, I have to tell them what I learned!

It's voice activated!

Say the affected range and countdown ti--

It's all over, for both of us.

[Hyoga] Apparently so.

I don't see either of us getting revived this time,

being the wild cards that we are.

Both factions think us too dangerous.

[Moz sighs]

First loss, and I guess it's my last one, too.

But let's say we eventually do break free,

this "relentless refinement" intrigues me.

Not sorcery. I believe you called it kudayari.

[Hyoga] I'll gladly teach you.

The gates of the Owari Kan Ryu style

are open to all interested parties,

as long as they seek to do it properly,

[dramatic music playing]

[villagers screaming]

[music fades]

[Ibara grunts]

[laughing]

My plan went off without a hitch,

and I'm the last man standing!

Even I can't help but throw my head back and laugh

at my outrageous victory!

[chuckles]

Why, hello! You have a very voluptuous figure, my dear.

Too bad. All your soft curves are rock hard.

But you won't be stuck like this forever!

There's a way to restore you!

Those troublesome sorcerers surely have all their revival water stored somewhere!

And if there isn't enough, I'll free one sorcerer

and torture them till they make more.

A group of them chased after Oarashi, so they have to be up this path.

[chuckles]

Hmm?

Huh?

They formed a line?

And they're all striking the same strange pose.

Hmm?

Wait, I know this face.

[soft whirring]

[laughing]

[baby cooing]

Dada?

[Ibara] Ah, so you saw. Infant or not, you're a witness.

[Soyuz's dad] Generations of masters have taken wives

with impressive memory to pass down the Hundred Tales.

As a result, my son can already remember all he sees.

[Ibara growls]

[Soyuz's mom] How could you be so heartless, Minister Ibara?

Seize her! That woman's abducting Prince Soyuz!

[warrior] Block her escape!

[warriors yell]

[Ibara laughs] Sad day, young Prince Soyuz!

You survived that

and spent the past 20 years growing up as a nobody,

only to return home and meet the same fate as your idiotic father!

Now you'll both rest in pieces!

Ah.

[Ibara grunting]

[Ibara yells]

[laughing]

Huh?

Fresh footprints.

That's peculiar.

The device activated right behind me,

yet this person ran quite far.

Hmm…

[faint static]

[gasps] That noise sounds like the sorcery earring.

But who could possibly be casting the spell?

Hmm?

Hmm…

This is the beast that fled from their oversized boat.

[static continues]

No. It's not a living creature.

Just more of their sorcery.

[static continues]

[Senku over device] Affect five meters in one second.

[gasps]

[screams]

[Senku] Damn. Did Ukyo get it wrong?

Doubtful. Bet you gotta talk up close and personal with it.

Yo! How goes, Ibara? [chuckles]

It looks like we're the last ones standing, huh, pal?

Time for a boss fight worthy of a demigod.

Science v. Medusa with us as the proxies.

How the hell are you not a statue? How?

[chuckles]
