Original subtitles

[HOMURA] Hyoga.

[yells]

[gasps]

Hey, Senku. You okay?

[SENKU] Yeah, actually. Ten billion percent okay.

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] Probably wouldn't be saying that

if it were the first time I'd been speared.

Thanks, Kinro.

That training you put me through really paid off.

[MAGMA laughs]

Well, now that the fighting part's outta the way,

let's murder this Hyoga bastard.

Killing people is wrong, and we don't do that!

Why's that always your first plan of action?

But still, how long are we gonna keep 'em captive?

Huh?

That's easy. Until we have society back up and running.

Once we have a scientific civilization,

Hyoga won't be the strongest anything.

People can put him on trial or whatever they need to do.

Heh. I don't have a millimeter of interest in that.

I'm just a scientist.

It's hard to believe... but finally... it's over.

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] Are you making a joke, or what?

That's backwards.

Right now, we're finally getting started.

We've got all these people to work together with us

to build a real kingdom of science.

We're starting from square one in this stone world,

so I hope you're excited.

[MAN F] What the hell's all this?

Quit just standin' around, would ya?

We've got a lotta work to do!

Um.

[CHROME] We're building science facilities!

It's gonna be awesome!

[KASEKI] Woo-hoo! To forge iron and blow glass!

This power generator isn't gonna build itself!

If any of you have the fuzzy sickness,

some glasses will save you.

In the kingdom of science, we even have ramen!

[YUZURIHA sighs]

I think that one was the last piece of 'im.

[SUIKA] The poor guy was broken into so many parts.

[RURI] Yeah, I'm worried.

Will the regeneration fix him up good as new?

Yes, of course it will. 'Least, I think so.

Per Senku's hypothesis, it should work

if the interior surfaces aren't too weathered.

Huh? But what if he's wrong about that?

Then when we pour the revival fluid on him, he'll go splat!

Blood and gore all over!

[SUIKA whimpers]

It really worked!

The guy actually came back to life!

[MANGAKA screams]

[MANGAKA] Oh, crap! Oh, crap! Oh, crap!

My deadline! How long was I asleep?

Few thousand years.

No way! That means my deadline's totally shot!

Here ya go.

We have everything a manga artist would need.

Do you know this guy from the old world?

Nope, never met him. But he's a manga artist.

You remember what Senku promised everyone, don't you?

He said he'd bring back all the fun things

humanity has to offer.

Art and entertainment,

and the stuff that made people happy.

This is where it begins again.

Our exciting scientific civilization.

[YO] Scientific civilization? Entertainment?

How long has it been? Man! How did I miss all this?

Your boy Yo was only gone for a minute!

This is wild! I'm so jealous!

[YO] Yo! 'Sup?!

I fell down a waterfall, and got, like, amnesia,

but I'll all good now.

I can help you move stuff, too.

[CHROME] Yo! He's seriously bad news.

And he's probably the one who let Homura go.

Really?

Hey, if he's willing to help, I say we let him.

Because we need it.

The more the merrier.

And we have a ton of statue puzzles to put together.

[YO] Sweet! So all my crimes are cleared, huh?

[CHROME] What crimes?

[NIKKI] Does that count as a confession?

Anyway, how many pieces we talkin' here?

Whatever you need, Yo is on the ca-- Ah!

Are you freakin' kiddin' me right now?

You're really planning on putting all these back together?

Like, every single one?

That's right! Every single one!

[YO] Whoa! Just asking!

[TSUKASA] From there, it's a straight shot past the lake.

Not too far.

And then...

That's enough talking for now, Tsukasa.

You need to get plenty of rest.

Not yet.

I have to tell them this before the end.

[TSUKASA] The war's over,

and the kingdom of science has won,

so the statues that I destroyed--

those people--were just meaningless sacrifices.

Don't you worry at all!

You need somebody to go do grunt work, then I'm your man!

[TAIJU] All you gotta do is tell me where the broken ones are

and I'll gather up every last piece!

[UKYO] Tsukasa, do you actually remember every single one?

Each statue that you've broken since the beginning?

'Course I do.

I haven't forgotten them. Not even for a single moment.

[phone ringing]

Wonderful news.

You did it, guys. We really won.

And all our friends are safe?

Not a soul was lost in the battle?

Oh, I'm so happy!

[CHROME] Yeah, nobody from the village, at least.

[CHROME] No.

Not a single person's died! It's just like we promised!

Senku's not gonna let him die!

[GEN] So what exactly are you working on, Senku?

[SENKU] We have a ton of modern humans now.

Some of them might even recognize what I'm doing.

Vinegar plus chlorine with a dash of sulfur

gives us chloroacetate.

Then throw in a little bit of sodium hydroxide

and we get some sodium chloroacetate.

Get that to react with sodium cyanide

made from blood and iron to get cyanoacetic acid.

No, this stuff's still too ough-tay for everyone.

[MEN] No way!

In any case, after all that's put together,

add alcohol to make ethyl cyanoacetate,

throw in formaldehyde,

and that'll give you the kind of superglue

that can seal up major wounds.

You're saying... Tsukasa's still got a chance? That'll save him?

[SENKU] We're just closing the wound to buy time.

[SENKU] I'm not a magician. I can't rebuild an organ.

So this is the best I can do.

[HOMURA] Just me and Hyoga. Could be worse.

[HYOGA] You people are still as brain-dead and soft as ever.

You won't even bring yourselves to execute a man

who killed his own commander.

And you truly expect you'll be able

to run a kingdom in such a way?

Ha. You think you killed Tsukasa?

Doesn't seem like you'll be able to make that claim.

[HYOGA] How ridiculous.

But I suppose the mediocre types always count on miracles.

[KOHAKU] Miracles?

Senku doesn't believe in putting his faith in that kinda stuff.

He always follows the path of science,

no matter what kind of obstacles he may face.

And there's no one in the world

who's stronger or works harder than him.

[SENKU] I've thought about it,

and there's just one way to save you.

You ready? We're gonna re-petrify you, Tsukasa.

[MIRAI screams]

Whoa! I'm sorry!

[MIRAI chuckles]

Oh, hello there, Mirai.

They told me that I needed to stay away,

but I was worried about my brother,

so I had to sneak a peek.

[KASEKI] Hey! Yuzuriha! Over here!

[SENKU] We have some needlework to be done.

It's a job for a crafts club member.

[ALL chuckling]

[YUZURIHA] When you say "needlework", you mean...?

Surgery? We obviously don't have any anesthetic.

Are you sure? Otally-tay?

[chuckles]

Don't underestimate history's strongest primate.

You don't need any anesthetic, do you, Tsukasa?

[chuckles]

Of course not.

[MIRAI yelps]

Whoa! Mirai!

[KASEKI] Hmm. Well, she is still only six years old, mentally.

[KOHAKU] I know you're worried, but it'll be okay.

Senku's science is always the real deal.

He's honest about what he can do.

You can put your trust in him.

If he's looking for a way to save Tsukasa,

I know that he'll find it.

[KOHAKU] No matter how slim the odds might be,

and no matter how many years it takes,

he will come through in the end.

I know my own body, so I'm aware of what's going on.

The surgery was only to buy some time.

In a few days, I will have died from sepsis.

Yeah. The only way we can save you is to petrify you.

Petrify him to save him?

[SENKU] We're gonna take advantage

of the regenerative effects of coming out of petrification.

That'll be what ultimately heals him.

Yeah. I understand the rationale for it.

But, Senku, can you actually petrify him?

[SENKU] Calm down. You're like an eager little kid.

We're gonna have to figure that part out.

Although we have no clue how long that'll take.

I do know there's a ten billion percent chance

he'll be dead by then.

So before that happens, Tsukasa,

I'm going to have to kill you with my own hands.

What are... you saying?

[SENKU] I'm gonna freeze you to death.

Or, more literally, cold sleep.

Meanwhile, we'll find a way to petrify you.

But I'm gonna bring you back, no matter what it takes.

That's the only way.

Put your trust in me... and die.

'Course I trust you.

'Cause if I gotta die, I'd rather you kill me.

[TSUKASA] It's only fair, Senku.

I've killed you once before, so I owe you one.

[SENKU] Oh, yeah, you're totally right. Heh.

That's perfect. It'll be my revenge.

So I've gotta kill ya.

[laughs]

My precious little Steam Gorilla got broken up in battle,

but now it's about to be reborn as something super amazing!

[SENKU] I only need two pistons that we used for the engine.

Okay, we're gonna have to tear the cell phone apart.

We're takin' all that golden wire outta there!

Oh, wow! Look at those cavemen go!

Shut up, will ya?

We're the one's who've been living like cavemen

for all this time.

Incredible. What are you guys making, anyway?

Oh, a refrigerator.

A re...

...fridger...

...ator?

[SENKU] Well, more like a freezer.

A stone world refrigerator?

Yeah, typical modern person's reaction.

That's what I said at first, too.

But now, my only response is to laugh at it.

[GEN laughing]

[SENKU] Chugga-chugga-chugga go the two pumps.

Pushing and pulling air through the part with the gold wire.

That action is gonna transfer the heat away.

Freezing stuff!

So bad!

I'm not entirely sure how it all works, but it sounds awesome!

[GEN] Hold on a sec. Are freezers really that simple?

[SENKU] Well, modern ones are a little more complicated.

I do know that things don't spoil when they're frozen.

Yeah.

And at the end of all this, there's a chance

we could come out with a ten billion percent

perfect way to preserve our food supply.

The petri-beam!

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] Add a splash of revival fluid,

and we can have all the fresh sashimi we'd ever want.

[ALL gasp]

[SENKU] Plus, the regeneration effect

will get rid of the germs and bad bacteria, too.

[GINRO] Does that mean we...

He's taking the world's worst disaster

and finding a way to make it useful.

[CHROME] This is so freakin' bad!

It's a whole new science!

[GINRO] Petrification rules!

[KINRO] Great for when we don't catch much!

[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.

[SENKU] Throw a freeze dryer in the mix

and we'll be unstoppable.

[KOHAKU] Yeah, this will solve so many of our food issues!

[CHROME] Check it out! We built a refrigerator!

[KASEKI] All right, you guys, we gotta get outta here!

But why? How come we gotta go now?

If you were ever in the position

of having to put your friend to death,

would you honestly want an audience

just hanging around you?

They're both the chiefs of their own tribes.

They need to talk.

And us being here'll make that difficult.

You said it's like cold sleep?

Only heard of that on spaceships in science fiction.

[SENKU] Spaceships, huh?

The Soyuz seats three.

If you had to choose out of everyone here,

who would you want riding into space with you?

[TSUKASA] Let's see...

You're asking me to make a kind of shortlist

of the most capable people here, or something?

Huh? What are you talkin' about? It's just a simple question.

Here we are at the end and you make small talk?

[SENKU] What's wrong with making a little small talk?

[TSUKASA] Well... Taiju. And...

Sorry, Senku, but you might not be

physically fit enough for exploring the planets.

If I took someone from the village, maybe Chrome.

[SENKU] Yeah. I don't think I'd need me there, either.

How 'bout that chick with the shells on her head?

Why not her?

[TSUKASA] She's a journalist.

She's been a crucial source of information

for choosing who to revive.

[SENKU] Heh. I figured you'd be into her.

It'd make sense

for the "strongest primate high schooler"

to have a thing for the Marilyn Monroe type.

[TSUKASA] I didn't consider appearances

when picking people to bring back.

[SENKU] No, 'course not.

By the way, why did you choose the nickname

"the strongest primate high schooler"?

I mean, did you just think it sounded cool, or what?

[TSUKASA] To be honest,

I never actually thought of myself that way.

[SENKU] The world's strongest primate for real

would have to be the mega-macho mountain gorilla.

[TSUKASA] Yeah. Those were tough, all right.

[SENKU] Huh?

[TSUKASA] I've fought one before. For some TV show.

[SENKU] Tch. You were a total beast hunter, huh?

You fought a lion, too, remember?

[TSUKASA chuckles]

[SENKU] That thing tasted like crap

no matter how we tried to cook it.

You, Taiju, and I all made the craziest faces eating it.

You would've thought that we'd lost some kinda dare.

Only way we survived was thanks to Taiju's idea

of shoving it down with a ton of mushrooms.

[TSUKASA] That takes me back.

[TSUKASA] Those days I spent with you guys...

...they were great.

So much fun.

Sen... ku...

[SENKU] That reminds me.

That poison mushroom Taiju ate, it's called amanita muscaria .

If you eat a lot of 'em, they'll totally make you hallucinate.

Ya know, funny thing is, that particular one

looks a lot like the one Super Mario eats to grow huge. Heh.

But he actually doesn't get any more powerful.

You know why?

It's because Mario only believes that he's gotten huge

because he's hallucinating hard off that mushroom.

He's ten billion percent tripping on it. Tripping balls.

Ya know? Do you know what I mean?

[SENKU] What do you think, Tsukasa?

[MIRAI] You protected me, big brother.

Watched over me and kept me safe, for years and years.

So I promise that I'm gonna protect you this time.

I'll be watching over you every single day.

I'll make sure that nothing breaks.

[SENKU] Well, now that that's over with,

let's all get ready to ship out.

We're starting immediately.

[GINRO] Everybody's together?

[NIKKI] Tsukasa never did anything like this.

[YO] Look at all these people.

[SUIKA] I've never seen so many in one place before!

All right, everybody, listen up, please!

Okay.

So about that mysterious-as-hell petrification beam

that turned everyone into stone 3700 years ago--

Yeah, why'd that happen, anyway?

It was lame, 'cause I was takin' a leak in the street

when I got frozen.

Wait, weren't you a cop?

If that really was an attack of some sort

and it happened again, humanity wouldn't be able to survive.

We're gonna figure it out.

We'll use science to get to the bottom

of the whole petrification thing.

The information Byakuya and the others left us

over thousands of years is worth its weight in gold.

So we're heading to the origin of the light:

The other side of the planet!

The other side, for real?

How can we travel that far?

[SENKU] Aw, it'll be simple.

Neanderthals weren't advanced,

and they made it all the way across Eurasia.

Yeah, but that took tens of thousands of years.

And plus, those people probably had

ridiculously powerful legs.

So?

We've got ridiculously bad, powerful brains

and tons of heart!

That'll get us to the other side of the planet!

We can't just walk there, though, can we?

Of course not. We'll be crossing the ocean.

Which means, all of us will be working together...

...to build a ship!

[SENKU] We're heading out into the world

to solve all its greatest mysteries!

This voyage will be the beginning

of the stone world's age of discovery!

Woo-hoo!

That's some bad shit!

I'm ready to help in any way I can!

[MAGMA laughs]

I know we can build some boats.

After all, we Ishigami Village people live on the water!

Yeah! I'm finally getting to travel overseas!

That's your take?

I guess you're right, though.

Setting sail on a worldwide adventure!

I know that everyone is gonna have

the time of their lives on the journey.

For eal-ray!

[UKYO chuckles]

Amazing, he's really serious about this plan.

You know the kingdom of science is always serious.

That's how they get things done.

[SENKU] It's been two and a half years

since I woke up in this stone world.

Heh. Nothin's been easy.

Ha! We're finally making real headway.

Following the road map to humanity's future.

[SENKU] Yeah. But we're just getting started.

The answer's almost in our grasp.

We'll know what really happened.

We'll repaint fantasy with the vibrant colors

of truth and science.

This is exhilarating. Get excited!
