Original subtitles

[KOHAKU] This is siege warfare.

If we can buy even a little bit of time, then...

Yeah, sure, but in case you forgot,

we're out of chemicals and stuff!

There's no way!

[SENKU] Run, scientist!

[CHROME] On it!

[HYOGA] They'll be dying for nothing.

I suppose they're just brain-dead barbarians after all.

[SENKU, TSUKASA] In this primitive stone world,

the winner will be decided by...

[TSUKASA] ...the force granted to humanity by nature:

Strength.

[SENKU] ...the fruit of humanity's endless efforts:

Science!

[KOHAKU] This is the final battle!

We have to defend the miracle cave!

[GEN] Don't tell me you're gonna to try to make

some science-y weapon-type thing

while the battle team's out there holding off Tsukasa.

Yep.

But they totally destroyed

all of our science-y chemical-type stuff.

We're egit-lay out of everything now!

Focus, Chrome! Get over here and help us, would you?

Heh. Look, he's probably got some ideas. Leave him be.

[GEN sighs]

Your trust in him's ext-nay level.

[CHROME] Something caught my eye.

I've built up some crazy bad intuition over the years,

and it's telling me there's something on the battlefield

that's a scientific game changer!

[CHROME] My science starts with hunting for materials!

Keep 'em surrounded but maintain distance.

We don't wanna face Tsukasa and Hyoga in a head-on fight!

[BOTH gasp]

Aw, man, they're like the ultimate tag team!

For real, and they're both unstoppable on their own!

He's vulnerable while he's up in the air!

This could be our last chance to beat him!

Taiju! Use the shock cannon!

Nikki! You guys!

All right! Let's go!

[MEN yelling]

Ugh. Nasty.

So you want me to mix this snake or lizard poop

or whatever in here?

[SENKU] Nitric acid plus urea makes urea nitrate.

It's not the most effective weapon,

but it's better than nothing.

I'm not following you.

[SENKU] If the uric acid in the feces is intact,

meaning it's quality poop, we'll get white crystals.

You're saying, if we're lucky,

we can use these white crystals as some kind of science weapon?

Yeah, but it's up to the luck of the draw!

Oh, I remember now.

I've said this before, Senku,

but your luck of the draw pretty consistently...

...eally-ray ucks-say.

[yells]

Not so bad. I'd rather not kill you.

[TSUKASA] The little one popped up from behind.

It's a two-man move.

[HYOGA] Looks like they've distracted him

and triangulated.

They're more capable than I expected.

Still, I'm sure Tsukasa won't have any trouble

dealing with them.

[KOHAKU yells]

[KOHAKU] I won't let you get in the way, Hyoga.

You're up against me, now.

Let's just call it a revenge match.

[MAGMA, GINRO yelling]

[KINRO yells]

[KOKUYO] Magma. Kinro. Ginro. Hang on.

[GEN] Isn't there something else we can use besides poop?

Y'know, maybe like some nice flowers or even paper.

I'm a magician, so I have all kinds of tricks up my sleeve.

Ya got any sufurina?

I definitely wouldn't have that stuff on me.

I make it a habit not to carry around anything that dangerous.

If I had sulfuric acid to mix with the miracle water,

nitric acid, I could make a mixed acid,

and then use that to--

No point, it's all hypothetical and a waste of time.

[CHROME] I have some!

[GEN] Huh?

I've got it. Sulfuric acid.

[GEN] Whoa, Chrome! Where the heck did you find that?

What? Did you forget already? It's from our opening volley.

It's the leftovers from our bluff tank cannon.

[SENKU] Nice work, scavenger king.

And we'll throw this in to top it off.

It's chock full of glycerin.

[CHROME, GEN] Soap?

[chuckles]

[SENKU] It's been useful as hell from the very beginning.

[SENKU] Come to think of it,

this is one of the first science items I showed Tsukasa.

[SENKU] It's a lifesaver in a world without doctors.

You can call it "Dr. Stone."

[SENKU] Our battle started out with soap,

and it looks like now... soap is gonna be what ends it.

[gasps]

[gasps]

[HYOGA] Huh?

This is just the thing I was after.

Even if you stab me with it, I'm still not letting go.

Hyoga, without your precious weapon, you're powerless.

[HYOGA sighs]

[HYOGA] My spare!

You can keep that one.

In times of despair,

mediocre people always resort to futile resistance.

[KOHAKU] Ha! But I'm far from despair.

[HYOGA] Huh?

You really don't get it.

Everything starts to add up-- be it strength or science.

We might be weak on our own, but all our contributions

combine to form something greater.

The battle team buys time

for Senku and the science team to turn it around.

Because all of us believe in Senku... and in science!

[GEN] What's this yellow liquid?

It has a really sweet smell to it.

Does your head hurt, too?

Shh! Don't even breathe!

One little drop of this stuff makes a big boom.

We'd all be beyond dead meat.

[BOTH grunt]

This is nitroglycerin.

Nitro--? I've definitely heard of that before!

It's like uper-say dangerous!

[SENKU chuckles]

Yeah, as a matter of fact, it's ridiculously dangerous.

So I should say, "Don't you dare try this at home, kids."

Nobody's going to try this.

Hang on! Are you planning on blowin' 'em all up?

No, you idiot. I'm planning on saving everybody.

The question is,

how do we get this to the other side of the battlefield

without making it explode first?

[yells]

No you don't!

I won't let you get near Senku!

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] Hey, Tsukasa!

This isn't a battle between strength and science.

Because science actually is strength.

[GEN] This design won the Guinness World record

for longest flying paper airplane.

[SENKU] This has about a hundred times the power of gunpowder.

There's a word you know that came straight

from the Ancient Greek word for "power."

And that's "dynamite."

[SENKU] I can take this dynamite paper plane

and use it to save everyone!

[GINRO] Whoa, whoa, whoa. What was that?

[KINRO] If someone got caught in that blast,

they'd be gone in an instant!

Human strength is just pathetic in comparison.

That's the power of science.

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] We made it just in time.

Thanks for stalling 'em for us, battle team.

We never could've pulled it off without you.

The kingdom of science has just acquired

the amazingly dynamic power of dynamite!

It has the overall blasting force

of ten billion megaton joules.

[BOTH gasp]

Yeah? "Ten billion megatons," you say? That's a huge lie.

Shh! That's not important.

Let me take this negotiation, Senku.

You always start by just urting-blay out the facts.

Huh? "Megatons"? "Dynamite"? In this age?

They'll never be able to hit us

with little paper planes, though.

Yeah. They don't have a chance.

[UKYO] We've got something more accurate than paper planes.

How about dynamite arrows?

[CHROME] Ukyo!

Seems the tide has turned. The war's over, folks.

That's it! The end!

[MEN grunt]

Oh, wow. Magnificent.

Ha-ha! Yes, we won!

The war's actually over!

[GEN] We may have won the battle,

but the war's not over quite yet.

The grunts and underlings have been dealt with,

but they weren't the only thing in our way.

There are big problems looming overhead.

I'm sure Tsukasa and Senku

must've had that same realization.

What happens next? That's an onundrum-cay.

[TSUKASA] If I block it or smack it down, it'll still explode.

And there's no way to dodge the large blast.

Yes. We can't avoid this new weapon of yours.

But still, an explosion would mean collateral damage.

Your own villagers would get hurt.

Senku, it's clear you can't abandon people.

And you'd never sacrifice yourself.

Well, well, kinda looks like both of us are stuck, huh?

It's a classic stalemate situation.

Obviously, this is all going according to your design.

Which means, Senku, your objective is...

Yep, to negotiate. Sound good?

Gen, you said you first met Tsukasa

on the set of some kind of television special.

Huh? Yeah, that's exactly what happened.

[SENKU] The whole thing doesn't really add up, does it?

This guy could have anything he wanted,

but his big goal in the stone world

is building a society free from the rich and corrupt,

turning away from established powers or whatever.

All these lofty goals.

That's the kinda man Shishio Tsukasa really is.

But in the old world,

he did all those big-time fights and TV appearances,

raking in a ton of money.

He even had this public persona:

"The strongest primate high schooler."

If you ask me, it just doesn't feel like his style.

A fair point.

Making a ton of money seemed like

such an obvious and natural thing to want

that I never had a second thought about it.

You needed the money for what, exactly? Or rather, for whom?

She's still alive, isn't she? I'm talking about your sister.

[DOCTOR A] Clinically, she's brain-dead.

There's no possibility that little Mirai

will ever regain consciousness.

I'm sorry.

[TV AUDIENCE laughing]

I understand. But still--

[AUDIENCE cheering]

[screams]

[AUDIENCE cheering]

[chuckles]

[REPORTERS chattering]

[inaudible]

[TSUKASA] Hey, Mirai. I'm back.

Listen, I'll protect you.

It may take years, or even decades,

but someday, I promise you.

[SENKU] We might be able to heal her.

Because the revival fluid has a residual healing effect.

I can't promise it'll work,

but it's the only chance she's got.

That's right, Tsukasa!

And don't forget that we were able

to fix Senku's neck after you broke it!

[SENKU] By the way, as for that revival fluid--

Oh, yeah! We just happen to have control of all of it!

[KOHAKU] Scumbag.

[GINRO] Total scumbag.

So what are your terms, then?

The terms are pretty simple, really.

We'll do our best to revive your sister.

And in exchange, I'm asking for a cease-fire.

[TSUKASA] And why should I believe this isn't

a bunch of lies?

All you have is my word.

I never lie about science. Is that not enough?

[TSUKASA] No, that's plenty. It's enough.

[NIKKI] Wow. I never even knew you had a sister.

[KOHAKU] All that time, you did everything for her.

Thing I don't understand is,

why would a good guy break the statues?

That's the biggest jerk move.

"The biggest jerk move."

You're not wrong about that, Taiju.

I guess you can be pretty unt-blay

when you feel the need, huh?

[UKYO] The way you wanted to go about

"purifying humanity" was really horrible.

Horrible, huh?

Well, you may be right about that.

But what would you all have done?

[TSUKASA] If you were suddenly reborn in a stone world

with practically nobody else around,

and you found out there was this revival fluid...

A primitive world can't sustain a large number of people.

There's no guarantee we can make unlimited revival fluid, anyway.

Well, Ukyo, who would you have chosen?

[TSUKASA] I had to pick and choose lives out of necessity.

It's a scary thing to have to do.

I've always believed playing God was a sin.

I decided to carry that sin myself.

It was the only way to build a new world.

That's why I did it.

My goals haven't changed.

What's more, they won't in the future.

For that reason, Senku... this is just a cease-fire.

Tch. That's fine with me.

[TSUKASA] The hospital's around here.

At least, it used to be.

Looks like some of these folks ended up drifting a ways away.

I guess we just need to dig 'em all up then, huh?

We can mine 'em out with dynamite.

No, that's a really bad idea!

Won't that just destroy them in the process?

Ah, don't worry. It's only to break up the hard bedrock.

And if a couple of 'em happen to get blown up by accident,

oh, well!

We'll just glue 'em back together, won't we?

Um, and who do you think will be the one

to do all that painstaking work, Senku?

Please, don't!

[SENKU] There's some debate

on why Alfred Nobel invented dynamite.

Was it intended for warfare,

or for mining and civil engineering?

So which one was it?

[SENKU] How would I know?

And why should I care about what some old fart was feeling? Yuck.

The only thing I can tell you for sure

is that he used the money he made

from the destructive power of dynamite

to hype up science by establishing the Nobel Prize.

And here we are,

using that same destructive power of dynamite.

[SENKU] To dig, dig, and dig... so we can save lives.

And eventually, all of humanity.

[TSUKASA] Mirai.
