All right!

It's time to get our mission to save Chrome into full swing.

Our plan is simple.

Here goes: First, we use the powered-up Steam Gorilla

to break down Chrome's bamboo prison.

Then, we run.

That's all.

[OTHERS groan]

That is pretty simple, all right.

Indeed. But it needs to be quick, before they find out.

And our precious Steam Gorilla's meant for one-time-use.

Senku doesn't have much ouble-tray letting go of things.

[KASEKI crying]

We can't trash our adorable little Steam Gorilla!

We don't have that much time, though.

It's Chrome, you know.

He's gonna start runnin' his mouth before too long.

[CHROME] I'm a scientist!

Rainbow flames!

Truth is, we may already be too late on that.

Yeah, that's a very good point.

So let's get ready to set out ASAP!

[ALL] Yeah!

[SUIKA] We'll save him!

[TSUKASA] Senku's not the type to abandon his friends.

I have no doubt he'll use science

to develop a way to save Chrome.

Maybe even build a steam engine to stage an assault.

That's why we'll all be counting on your strength.

You need my strength?

I interviewed you back in the pre-stone days,

at the police martial arts tourney?

You completely aced the baton category.

You were a crazy police officer who's crazy strong.

So, I'm asking you to oversee the prison

and all traps surrounding it.

Well, Yo?

You bet, yo!

Oh, yeah! Just leave everything to Yo!

I can use the prisoner as bait to take down this Senku guy

and his entire gang of baddies, too!

Ahh.

[CHROME] I'll bust myself out before Senku gets here!

With the power of science!

I got this, 'cause I'm Chrome, the bad science user.

[CHROME] Hmm...

How the hell am I gonna do this, though?

Tsukasa's guys took away all the science stuff I had on me

when I got caught.

[sighs]

[CHROME] The walls and floor are way too hard to dig through.

Guess I could spend a few days grinding down the rope

that holds the bamboo bars together?

[CHROME whistling]

[CHROME] No, that's never gonna work.

Now, what would Senku do in this situation?

I gotta formulate an escape plan.

[grunts]

[CHROME] Damn it! That won't work either.

I can't just imitate Senku.

[YO] And... boom!

[YO] What'd ya expect me to do, give ya a slap on the wrist?

You ruined the trap.

And the guilty ones always gotta pay for their crimes.

[YO] But that's enough. We're good, okay?

Yeah. I'm sorry, Yo.

No need to apologize, I said, "We're good."

In fact, if any of these boneheads

try to give you grief about it, I'd be happy to make them pay.

[laughs]

I like this new world, it's simple.

[CRIMINAL A] Thank you for helping us

wipe our slate clean, sir.

Oh, sure. Fine.

[CRIMINAL A] I couldn't imagine going to prison

for something harmless, like tax evasion.

[laughs]

These are for you.

[chuckles]

These steamed buns look awfully tasty.

Let's toast. I'll pour you a drink.

[CRIMINAL A] Thank you very much, sir.

[YO] And... boom!

What the--?

[YO laughs]

It looks like I've found a couple of baddies!

--[COP A] Grab 'em! --[COP B] Move! Move!

And boom! Boom!

--[YO gasps] --[CRIMINAL A yells]

[gunshot]

The baddie ran away, so I shot him.

The way I look at it, I did nothing wrong.

I mean, who wants to go through some big

pain-in-the-ass trial, anyway?

He's a bad guy, so just kill 'im!

Boom, right?

[BOSS A gasps]

[BOSS A growls]

[BOSS A] You're fired!

I kinda had no future in the old world.

So hooray for the reset, ya know?

[CHROME] Uh-oh. Is that guy the prison boss?

Bad news for me. I can't make a move while he's around.

Because in the stone world we're in,

I can make it to the top.

You see, how things work now,

Tsukasa, Hyoga, and Ukyo are the three kings, right?

Except that's, like, completely wrong.

It's the four kings. With myself included.

Which means,

I gotta put on a good show so I can take my throne.

And once I'm at the top...

[MEN] Uh...

[YO] Uh.

[clears throat]

So then, I'll use that primitive guy to lure--Senku, was it?--

right into a pit trap.

One wrong step and boom!

There he goes with all his bad buddies!

I'm gonna make this plan work, ya hear?

If it's the last thing I ever do.

[MAN H] Not so loud.

[YO] Huh?

All I'm trying to say

is I'm pretty sure he heard that whole thing.

So what?

It's not like he can talk to his buddies or anything.

Don't sweat it.

Besides, he's just a monkey boy.

[CHROME growls, yells]

Who do you think you're calling a weak, twig-armed,

beansprout looking, dumbass monkey boy?

What? I didn't say all that.

You're gonna regret this, you hear me?!

[CHROME] Damn it.

These people may see me as some kind of moronic,

primitive guy who doesn't know anything,

but they'll be sorry when I use science

to bust outta this cage!

Uh.

[MAN G] Hmm...

[CHROME] Mh-hm! Mh-hm!

[CHROME] No matter how long I try

to think about some genius plan, I'm just not as smart as Senku.

First, I need to gather up materials.

That's always been my specialty. Less thinking, more action.

Search! That's where my science begins!

So what's up, man?

Do you really wanna watch me go take a dump, or something?

Shut up! Just do it, okay?

[whistling]

[CHROME] All right, this is my loot.

Now let's see...

Is there anything I can use to help me escape?

Aw, yeah! Check it out! A four-leaf clover!

Ruri and I used to hunt for these things like crazy!

Those were good times!

Who cares?!

How am I supposed to escape with this?

It's just grass and twigs!

[MAN C] Hm?

[CHROME whistling]

[sighs]

[CHROME] Twigs.

This'll work.

If I can set fire to the ropes binding the bamboo together,

I'm out!

[CHROME] I can't.

There's no way I'm starting a fire with these tiny sticks!

Fire. Damn it!

[CHROME] If only I had that battery.

But they took it away when I was captured.

[CHROME snoring]

[MAN C] Uh?

Huh?

[CHROME snoring]

[CHROME] Bad ass! Where'd the battery come from?

Of course! It was Taiju and Yuzuriha!

Thank you guys so much for sneaking this in for me!

Now let's do this.

Gotta operate under the cover of darkness.

Hook the positive and negative ends together, and...

[MEN gasp]

[screams]

[MAN H] I saw a flash! It's a fire!

[MAN E] I smell a match!

[MAN H] And what was that sound?

Yo, monkey boy.

Did you honestly believe that we wouldn't notice a fire?

But still, you were able to light it. How?

Huh? And why the hell would I tell you?

Don't underestimate science users!

[CHROME] This is bad.

This jerk's gonna find my battery!

[YO] Hm.

Ah, rubbed some sticks together, did ya?

Too bad. Must've been hard work.

[CHROME] Whoa, I got lucky. That was close.

So glad I brought this stuff in here.

[YO laughing]

[YO] Hang on, let me make sure I've got this straight, okay?

When you say that you're a "science user,"

this is what you're talking about,

you primitive monkey boy?

That's so freakin' pathetic!

[YO laughing]

No. I shouldn't laugh.

It's not your fault you're a caveman.

Sorry. Truly.

[YO laughing]

But if you didn't know.

When you rub some wood together, it gets hot.

Rub 'em good and boom!

Science. It's powerful stuff.

I'd never underestimate science!

Hah! Crap, I can't stop laughing!

I'm sorry. You're too funny, monkey boy!

[ALL laughing]

[CHROME] To hell with this jerk!

For your information, I used a metal battery, dude!

How's that for "primitive," huh?

[CHROME] No. Science is not for bragging.

Gotta keep my eyes on the prize.

Matter of fact,

I should make him think I'm some backwards dummy.

All right, I'll show you guys some badass science!

Don't wet yourselves!

First off, did you even know

that you can boil down seawater to get salt?

'Cause I bet you had no idea!

[ALL laughing]

You just blew my mind! You're a scientist, after all!

Oh, man! Good luck with that.

A seawater prison break! It's gonna be something!

[MAN F] What a dope!

[CHROME Seawater prison break...

[SENKU] We'll separate the salt water with electricity.

And we've acquired sodium hydroxide.

The yakuza use it to melt enemy corpses.

[CHROME] I might actually be able to melt the ropes

with sodium hydroxide.

I imagine that wouldn't be too tough.

I've got electricity. All I need now is salt water.

Senku used seawater,

but I won't be getting any of that in here.

Though there is one sure-fire way to get salt water.

[yelling]

Uh, the hell's he doin'?

[MAN E] Ugh. Who cares?

[CHROME] I can pull this off.

[CHROME whistling]

[CHROME] How do you like me now?

I'm melting through the fibers

using a chemically decomposed liquid.

This is how ol' Chrome does a scientific prison break.

[BOTH gasp]

Bad news! There's a huge bear in the jail cell!

[CHROME] The bear was a lie, but it threw 'em off.

Gen really taught me the value of a good bluff.

This is the moment I've been waiting for!

Just one second is all I need... to get the hell outta here!

Surprised ya, huh?

I pole vault all the time whenever I go out scavenging.

[MEN laughing]

[CHROME] Heh.

That primitive dude knows where all the traps are!

Yo, sir.

[YO yells]

What the hell? He's out?

How did he break through the bars? And all at once?!

The rope, it's melted!

Crazy! Did he use science?

That same monkey boy

who was rubbing sticks together did this?

Stop, you!

[BOTH yelp]

[CHROME] Aww, too scared to chase me?

It must be because Yo beat the ever-loving crap outta the guy

who ruined that one trap.

That's what happens when you punish mistakes too hard.

[CHROME] The guy used our smoke screen to his advantage.

I stole this handy little strategy from Ukyo.

Learn the enemy's traps and turn 'em back against 'em!

This is bad, though.

That Yo guy's after me,

'cause he's not scared of taking a beating from himself.

[YO yelling]

[CHROME] Whoa!

Damn! He's crazy fast!

You stupid monkey boy!

I'm trying to make it all the way

to the top of the stone world, you hear me?

Hey, Chrome!

I don't care if you live or die,

but I'm not gonna let you get away from me!

[CHROME] Bad news. It's a dead end!

[CHROME] I guess I'll just have to fight!

[YO] Boom!

[YO] Yo, you really are a moron, huh?

You must be if you think that an ape with a bamboo pole

has any chance against a cop with modern day combat training.

I'll give you a choice.

Do you wanna go back to the cell with the crap beaten outta you,

or do you want me to just throw your dead body back in there?

You screwed up, boy.

But I'll forgive you. We'll work it out, somehow.

I don't care. It's the same to me, either way.

'Cause honestly...

...I've only got a few days left to live.

Huh?

What the hell is wrong with you?

[YO gasping]

[YO] That can't all be from a cut in the mouth.

This guy is seriously throwing up blood!

I caught it in the village a while back.

I tried to keep it quiet.

I didn't want them to worry about me.

But it's too late for me now.

Pneumonia.

And for you bastards without science,

this disease is a real death sentence.

[gasping]

[screaming]

Hey! No! Stop!

You're getting it all over me, you dirty little caveman!

[CHROME] Here's the thing.

I may not have modern day combat training,

but I've mastered one move.

And here it goes!

[YO screams]

[gasps]

[KOHAKU] No way!

[VILLAGERS gasping]

[SUIKA] Chrome is free, you guys!

[KASEKI] You broke outta there all by yourself!

Way to go, boy!

I'm impressed you knew how to find our camp so easily.

Honestly, I didn't know where the hell it was.

I just went in the direction that I saw Suika go

when she was scouting,

and hoped you'd be able to see me with the telescope.

Another excellent job by the Great Detective Suika.

[SUIKA giggles]

But I'm curious.

How did you manage to break through the cell bars?

Oh, that?

With my awesome science. It was like seriously bad.

I made that melty chemical stuff

with some salt water and a battery.

Sodium hydroxide, right?

[VILLAGER A] Whoa!

[VILLAGER B] That's awesome!

It's actually sodium hypochlorite.

You're close.

But that's what you must've made in there instead,

since you didn't have any kind of membrane in the salt water.

It's what folks in my day called "bleach."

[GEN] Powers up your cleaning!

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] It's a perfectly useful base.

Great idea to use it, too.

It melted right through all the cellulose in the weeds

they made the rope from.

Can't think of a better way to break out of a bamboo prison.

Awesome job, Chrome. I'll give ya ten billion points!

Heh.

Hang on, speaking of sodium hydroxide, wasn't that...?

Oh, yeah.

While you were doing all of that,

we were using an alkaline solution

to melt down cellulose for making paper.

Ha! That's amazing.

So Senku and Chrome were basically using

the same type of science.

Huh?

Hey, Chrome. You're bleeding.

[SUIKA gasping]

Oh, no. That's like what happened to me!

Poor Chrome must've caught pneumonia while he was in there!

[VILLAGER A] It's terrible.

[VILLAGER B] Chrome!

Just kidding!

I don't understand? You're okay?

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] You have a lot of plants, too.

I try them on myself.

And I keep the ones I think are good.

[SENKU laughs]

Did you really use fake blood

to make those guys stop chasing you?

You bet! I knew Professor Senku would understand.

[CHROME] Chew up some sorrel...

[CHROME] And mix in a little shiso...

[CHROME] And boom, fake blood!

[SENKU laughs]

That's awesome!

'Course Shiso turns red

mixed with the oxalic acid from sorrel.

Uh-huh! My science is from experience.

Not bad at all, Chrome. You're a real science user.

[CHROME] Yeah!

[VILLAGERS laughing]

I'm so happy that he doesn't actually have pneumonia!

This red water smells kinda familiar to me.

It's just like plums pickled in shiso.

This stuff's just umeboshi ? Damn that monkey!
