[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] Hey, Tsukasa!

This isn't a battle between strength and science.

Because science actually is strength.

There's a word you know that came straight

from the Ancient Greek word for "power."

And that's "dynamite."

[HYOGA] Oh, wow. Magnificent.

To negotiate. Sound good?

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

We might be able to heal her.

Because the revival fluid has a residual healing effect.

[SENKU] 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] Mirai.

Hold on, Senku!

Mirai's naked! Don't look at her!

No! You can't revive her right now!

[SENKU] Here we go again with this same nonsense.

This is an emergency, and we're in the stone world!

Nobody cares if you're buck-naked,

or if your peepee's hanging out.

Man, you really love this bit, huh?

Look, we'll figure it out once we wake her--

Is this about the right size?

[OTHERS] So fast!

[YUZURIHA] She's all set! Go on, Senku.

Whoa. That's bad!

Oh, wow!

[KOKUYO] The stone statue, it's starting to crack apart.

It's actually turning into a real live person.

That's right, the villagers haven't seen this stuff

in action before.

And now for the moment of truth.

[YUZURIHA] Please.

I really hope this works and heals Mirai

just like it did Senku.

And when the stone falls, please just let her be okay!

[chuckles]

The revival fluid has worked great so far.

Just consider who it's been used on.

Taking people who're ten billion percent brain dead

and giving 'em a huge wakeup call is all it's done.

At the end of the day, a brain's a brain.

I don't see a reason why this one would be any tougher.

[gasps]

What just happened? Where am I?

Hey, Mirai.

[MIRAI] Big... brother?

Wow. You've gotten super old.

You look really handsome, though.

How many years have I been asleep?

[TSUKASA] Six years. No...

It's been thousands of years, Mirai.

[KOHAKU] Even though there was no chance for recovery,

he kept on fighting and never gave up hope.

For years and years.

[KOHAKU] You've been waiting for this, haven't you, Tsukasa?

All that time... for this very moment.

[KOKUYO] Now, grab your stuff!

We'll head back to the others waiting for us at the village!

[VILLAGERS] Yeah!

[HYOGA] Mirai.

You still have some little bits of rock on you.

It's doing a disservice to your beauty.

Why don't you go and wash up, huh?

Down at the river, there.

[CHROME] Senku.

We seem to be missing a few sticks of dynamite.

Ehh. Well, we used a bunch of that stuff,

so we probably just lost count, don't you think?

No! I'm the scavenger king.

I never misplace or lose count of anything.

If somebody had stolen it, I'm positive I would've heard them.

It would take somebody who was very skilled

in covert missions to fool my ears.

I can only think of one person.

Huh? What gives?

Mantle was supposed to be in charge

of watching over Homura's cell.

I don't see him anywhere.

That guy is always slacking off.

[CHALK barking]

[CHALK barking]

[SUIKA] Uh-oh! This is really bad, you guys!

Seriously? I'm busted already?

[YO] Oh, yeah.

I just figured out how I can get myself back on top.

All I gotta do is nab that jail- breaking monkey boy, Chrome.

I'm the only one who knows which direction Chrome went off in.

He's gonna lead me right to the enemy camp, and Senku!

Uh? Ah!

[YO] That's it! Awesome! That only took a few seconds!

Guess I haven't lost my touch, after all!

Uh?

Homura.

[HOMURA] Yo. Go and contact Hyoga.

Wait until the time is right, then free me.

Because Hyoga's true objective is to...

[GINRO yelps]

What now?

An accident?

No, can't be. Doesn't feel right.

[KOHAKU] Where'd it come from?

I think that's the miracle cave.

[MAN C yells]

[MAN D] Get away from it!

[MAN A] Did anybody get trapped in there?

Head count, now!

[KASEKI cries]

The miracle water's buried in there!

Without it, we won't be able to make

more science weapons anytime soon!

[UKYO] It's Homura.

But why did she attack the miracle cave?

Homura doesn't do anything on her own volition.

She's following someone's instructions.

And who's that?

Isn't it obvious?

What's up?

Where are you going?

[GEN] Everyone, hurry!

[explosion]

[gasps] An explosion? What's happening?

Wait. I'll go check it out.

Get away from him, now! Mirai! Tsukasa!

[thud]

[HYOGA] Before, whether I snuck in from behind

or attacked you in your sleep,

I'd never be able to take down Shishio Tsukasa,

"the strongest primate high schooler," so easily.

But that changed once you finally had

somebody else to protect.

I was the one who'd been waiting.

All this time. For this moment.

[gasps]

Sen... ku...

Big brother!

Senku!

Tsukasa!

[KOKUYO] Kohaku, wait! The current's too fast.

You see? And you're not gonna find them underwater!

[UKYO] Let's go. We'll look for them downstream.

[HYOGA] My spear went clear through his chest.

It's fatal. You won't be able to save him.

Wait. Hang on!

[HYOGA] I knew we would drift ashore here.

I'd run a test of sorts.

[SENKU] Yeah, I'm sure you did, Hyoga.

No way you'd have taken the risk jumping after us

if you weren't sure you'd survive.

[HYOGA] Indeed.

And now that Tsukasa's effectively out of my way,

Senku, you and I can finally have a private discussion.

[chuckles]

What are you, some kind of shy middle schooler

mustering up the courage to confess your love?

Hate to break it to ya, but I'm already married.

Wait, actually, I'm divorced.

Either way, I don't have one millimeter

of interest in chatting.

[HYOGA] I'd expect not.

But I'd like you to hear what I have to say.

Whether you act upon it by persuasion or torture,

either way will work for me.

[gasps]

[HYOGA] Of course, we had our differences,

but Tsukasa and I shared one fundamental belief.

And that is...

...the phenomenon of petrification that afflicted

our entire species thousands of years ago

was to select certain humans.

To thin out the herd, so to speak.

Oh?

I find that idea to be like, ten billion percent unexciting.

You realize unfounded speculation like that

would be nothing but a joke to the scientific community.

[HYOGA] Regardless of why it happened, Senku,

there remains a basic fact that even you can't deny.

There's absolutely no way that this planet

can sustain seven billion people indefinitely.

So then, who is to live on?

[TSUKASA] Hyoga, what do you think?

The lives of the young who have a future,

they should have priority.

We can eliminate the established powers

who do nothing but take from those below them.

This is our chance to create a new world.

[HYOGA] What our high-minded friend Tsukasa was aspiring to

was a kind of Shagri-la

where no one took from their fellow man.

Personally, I don't have a shred of interest in such a thing.

If we revived only brain-dead fools

selected solely because of their youth,

eventually we'd be taken from

in order to keep their bellies full.

Therefore, careful selection is absolutely necessary.

In this new world, only the most superior are meant to survive!

And the mediocre must perish.

That's the most logical answer, right?

The petrification gave humanity the chance we--

[SENKU] Yeah, you're right, it's all just ridiculously logical.

While that may be so, it's not exciting.

[SENKU] I say if we can't sustain seven billion people,

then let's try having seven billion people

look for a way to sustain seven billion.

After all, that's the way science does things.

[HYOGA] Indeed, Senku.

The power you wield with science is impressive,

and although it may take time,

I know you can make more nitric acid.

So let's conquer the world together

and select the right people for humanity.

The two of us could form an unstoppable tag team.

[gasps]

[HYOGA] The only acceptable answer is "yes."

Until you say that, you'll lose one finger at a time,

then I'll move on to your legs.

I thought you understood the choice here.

I'll get my way through persuasion or torture.

Get back, Hyoga! Just stay away!

[HYOGA] How embarrassing.

It's far too late for these kinds of theatrics, Senku.

It seems as though

I overestimated you a bit, after all.

Shut up, will you?!

[gasps]

[yells]

[TSUKASA] So I'll make you this promise.

As long as we're together,

the two of you will not be in danger again.

[TSUKASA] I broke the promise I made to you back then.

Because I thought I had to in order to realize my ideals.

And yet still, you kept the one you made to me.

[TSUKASA] Now it's my turn to keep my word,

honor the promise.

[TSUKASA] This time, I mean it!

I swear, I won't let you be in danger ever again,

'cause from now on, I'll be the one in charge of fighting!

[HYOGA] That just means that I need to kill you together.

Until this point, Tsukasa and I ruled this new world as equals.

But with him on his last legs,

the title of "strongest primate" belongs to me!

He's only saying that to try and break our spirits.

Still, his assessment does ring true.

Yeah. I guess it does.

Tsukasa, I definitely trust your judgment on that.

So let's fight together, Senku. You with me?

You bet. Let's show him a real tag team.

We're gonna take him down with science and might

working side by side, so get excited!

[HYOGA] Are you really trying to strategize

your plan of attack right now?

Well, I won't be waiting around for you to figure things out!

A pair up of a wounded lion

and a kid who's never thrown a punch in his life

would make for humanity's weakest tag team!

[HYOGA] Don't get cocky, Senku. I'm keeping an eye on you.

Eleven o'clock!

[gasps]

[HYOGA] Gunpowder!

This dude is a monster!

[SENKU] Now he's coming for me, without missing a beat.

Stop right there!

I can use the power of science to kill you

with just one finger!

[HYOGA] Only your primitive friends

would be foolish enough to fall for that kind of bluff, Senku.

[HYOGA] Give up, Tsukasa.

You have no chance against me as you are now.

I'm sure you've already realized this,

but the hole I pierced through your lung is fatal.

Yeah. You're right, Hyoga.

[HYOGA] So why are you wasting your energy with this struggle?

Your fate was sealed from the very beginning.

I don't know.

Maybe it's just because I... wanted to keep fighting.

For as long as I could, even for just a minute.

'Cause that's how fun this is.

This fleeting moment of fighting together...

This final partnership...

[HYOGA] Is that so?

Well, unfortunately for you,

I'm going to put an end to all of your fun.

[SENKU] Yeah... it's all over.

[HYOGA] A bandage over his finger? The one I'd cut?

What'd I tell you earlier? You remember, don't you?

I said I could use the power of science to kill you

with just one finger.

[HYOGA] I see.

That flame earlier. How did he light it so quickly?

Primitive science has its perks from time to time.

If these were lithium batteries,

your little jab would've blown me into a billion pieces.

But these manganese batteries are tough enough

to be both a weapon and a shield.

[HYOGA] How? Where did you--?

When did you have time to make this thing?

[SENKU] Heh. Don't tell me you forgot already.

Hyoga, you were the one who was kind enough

to deliver all the materials I needed right to me.

Just hook some batteries up

to the thin wire coil from a cell phone, and boom,

you've got a high- voltage transformer.

It's the birth of a 100,000-volt stun gun.

[chuckles]

And just for the record, Tsukasa, this tag team...

...was a ton of fun for me, too.

Now, Tsukasa and I are gonna give you a little present.

The gift of science.

[yelling]

[HYOGA] Wretched... science.
