Original subtitles

Amazing.

My name is Kohaku.

It seems I've taken quite a liking to you.

I don't like what I just heard.

We just met, and she's already in love?

In this state of emergency?

I didn't say anything about that!

I'm saying I like you as a person, so I'll cooperate with you!

Oh, I appreciate that, then.

Nothing is as illogical or trouble-prone as relationships.

What are you, a new species of hominid that sleeps with a sword?

It's because you started talking about relationships.

I like the way you live, but I don't trust you yet.

I take care of myself, and this habit is a result of that.

Don't take it personally.

I'm not enough of a hero to assault a lioness willy-nilly.

Hurry up and get some sleep.

Lioness?!

I have feelings, too, you know!

You live like a gentleman, but your foul mouth is of another dimension.

I think I might accidentally kill you someday.

Then go to sleep before you cause any accidents.

I don't want to get killed twice in the same day.

You're fighting against that long-haired man, aren't you?

I'll help you.

I can't just back down, either.

Yeah.

That's why I'm making a nation of science.

First of all, I need manpower.

So you want allies.

Then why don't you come with me?

You have more of your lion buddies, huh?

Yeah.

I'm sure they'll be dependable allies.

I know one man who'd be perfect.

Allow me to guide you, Senku.

Come with me.

Good morning, world.

Good Morning World!

Good Morning World!

How far have I walked?

Only the pain in my feet.

Gives me a sense of the distance.

The hope for a beautiful view at the end of a long night.

Is what keeps me going today.

The mountains of the gods, the palaces of green.

The depths of the caves, the ends of the deep blue sky

I'll go the full distance, there are no limits.

To the ends of the world.

Good morning, world.

Good Morning World!

Good Morning World!

Rid away the impossibility of the dark.

An odyssey turning mythology into the everyday.

In this painstaking journey, turning over every stone.

We'll expand our world.

Where Two Million Years Have Gone.

Hot water?

Yeah.

I take it home to make a hot spring bath.

For healing purposes.

You look like a ten billion percent healthy kid to me.

What use does a lively lioness like you have with any more healing?

I'm not a lioness!

And it's not for me! It's for my sister!

Honestly...

She's such a troublesome nuisance of an older sister.

She's been especially sick lately.

If only I could swap her body with my exceedingly healthy one...

That jar looks like a little less than fifty liters.

It's not quite enough for a bath.

How many trips do you make with that heavy-ass jar?

Every single day...

It's just part of my daily training.

I'm a lot stronger thanks to it, too.

I should be grateful to my nuisance sis-

You haven't fully recovered yet, have you?

I can't have you overexerting yourself and dying on me.

Hand it over.

Senku...

You're the one overexerting yourself.

Is everyone other than me in this stone world a gorilla?

Kohaku, Tsukasa, Taiju...

Gorilla?!

At least call me a lioness! That was better!

That's not the point here.

I'm impressed you built such a useful thing so quickly.

It wasn't quick.

I managed to use the pulleys from yesterday as wheels.

Civilization births civilization.

Applying developments is the basis of science.

Turn right up there.

Not that right!

Look, Senku. There it is.

Welcome to my village.

How many people do you have here?

I don't remember how many retirees and children there are,

but aside from them, I think there are exactly forty.

Forty...

Kohaku and the rest of them

apparently don't know anything about modern technology.

So this is a settlement of revived people.

Which means there must have been a first generation.

For example, hundreds of years ago,

there might've been a first-generation science man

like me who made revival fluid.

There's no sign of revival fluid or any kind of science being passed down here, though.

Where did these people come from?

Don't be violent, Kinro, Ginro.

This man saved my life.

You can't do that, Kohaku-chan.

That's not good.

Outsiders aren't allowed here. That's a rule.

The chief's going to be angry with you.

It's a simple fact.

The rules are the rules.

There are no people outside the village.

All those outside are criminals who were banished before.

Therefore, I can't let you in.

There's no room for consideration, even if he may have saved your life.

Oh?

You leave me no choice, then.

Shall we fight here and now?

Oh, dear, it's two on one.

You clearly have an advantage.

You're so short-tempered.

And you make such a nasty face.

Sorcery!

What is this?

What are these suspicious floating orbs?

So that's the level you're at, huh?

I guess I'm taking all of this, then.

I'm going to get all forty of you on my side with science.

This is exhilarating.

You make such a nasty face.

That's pretty sketchy, you know.

I can't stop them!

The more I stab, the more appear.

All right, then.

I'll have to use...

Special Technique: Let Someone Else Handle It!

Special Technique: Let Someone Else Handle It!

Hey, Chrome, it's sorcery!

Quit freaking out, Ginro.

I'm already here.

I saw these from the coast.

I'd be crazy not to come here right away.

Hey!

I'm Chrome.

I'm an insanely smart, genius sorcerer!

Looks like we won't have to go find him, Senku.

This is the man I told you about yesterday.

A sorcerer, huh?

I'm Senku.

I'm a scientist.

Don't let him scare you with his cheap sorcery, Ginro, Kinro.

You can make plenty of this stuff from coal suds.

I wasn't scared.

You're a fool if you aren't cautious of the unknown.

I was pretty scared.

Why are you here, Chrome?

I have no interest in relying on your dubious, so-called "sorcery."

I don't care.

Do as you like.

But this is one thing I'm not backing down on.

No one beats me in sorcery!

Don't get in my way, guys.

If we fight here, the villagers could get caught up in it.

Let's move elsewhere.

A sorcery battle? What are they going to do?

They aren't going to burn everything to a crisp, are they?!

Stop it! Nothing dangerous!

Don't get us caught up in it!

Check out my badass sorcery!

Rainbow Bridge!

Rainbow Bridge

I am the master of flames!

The fire turned yellow!

How?!

It changed again!

To greenish-blue?

Purple?!

Amazing. This is...

sorcery.

Rainbow Bridge, my ass.

It's just a flame test reaction.

You just threw salt, copper, and sulfur on it in that order.

What's the copper? Copper sulfate or something?

I guess that doesn't help.

It's the blue crystals you picked up in the caves, isn't it?

Oh, shit!

How the hell does he know about the blue crystals?!

Is he reading my mind? Is that his sorcery? Oh, shit!

Th-That's a thing?

Damn, nature, you're scary!

"Oh, no, I'm scared! I'm running away!"

was what I thought he'd say.

"I'm defeated. Please make me your apprentice,"

was the other thing he'd want.

I thought it would be one or the other, but oh, man!

I was all worried that I wouldn't know what to do

if he wanted to become my apprentice!

You'd better not be thinking that

these cheap tricks are the only sorcery I've got!

I didn't say anything.

Just wait right there!

I'm going to show you something that can actually be weaponized.

This one's legit, trust me!

He went to get something.

Is that why he wanted to relocate?

So he needed his tools.

Ouch!

What was that attack?!

A ball of sulfur, huh?

You put that sulfur you threw on the fire earlier into a pot

and melt it down with heat.

Once it cools and hardens, you crack the outer layer, and you're done.

That's a crazy way to make one of these things.

A sulfur ball static generator.

It's supposed to be a 17th century invention.

You're exhilarating, Chrome, you know that?

Rubbing it with leather instead of your hands will give you ten billion times more power.

This is my flag of science.

Oh, crap!

His head's all spiky!

It was spiky before, though.

How does that work?

Hey, give it back!

What is this, a kid's science experiment class?

Such primitive...

Chrome, did you think all this up by yourself in this primitive village?

You gathered all these potentially useful

minerals and scientific materials in that shed by yourself?

Yeah, that's right. That a problem?

Kids collect everything.

They smash things together, mix them, burn them...

And if something crazy happens, that's sorcery.

What else could it be?

Check it out, Tsukasa.

Even if you kill me, even if you kill anyone, even if you reset science...

There's always an idiot who'll try anything,

and the shiny monkeys will inevitably create a technological civilization.

Chrome, the way things are going,

you're ten billion percent one of the people Tsukasa is going to kill.

Your only choice is to join our kingdom of science.

Tsukasa? What are you talking about?

I'd love to have you and this entire shed of science in our kingdom.

You're not getting it, jerk! Get down!

Damn it, I look stupid.

I can't back down now.

I challenge you to one last fight, then.

It's a duel!

If you lose, you'll grovel and leave the village for good.

If you win, I'll give you everything, shed and all.

Challenge?

I'll show you some insane sorcery.

I've never lost in my whole life.

Arithmetic!

Fight me in a battle of numbers!

I'm pretty sure Senku is going to go undefeated.

Shed of Science and Chrome acquired!!

This is exhilarating!

How many years did it take you to find all this stuff, dude?

See that? It's awesome, isn't it?

You may have wrecked me in sorcery and arithme-

I mean, I was off my game today anyway...

But my collection is the best there is!

They're all just rocks.

Malachite! Chalanthite! Corundum!

That one's seriously tough.

I have no idea how they're different.

Why are you two getting so excited about rocks?

Oh, man, galena!

Lead acquired!

That one's crazy shiny when you break it.

Nope.

I just can't understand the way they get so spiritual about collecting rocks.

I used to collect bugs and stuff.

Now I can't even touch them. They creep me out.

You even have cinnabar!

Have fun showing off your trophies.

I have to deliver the hot springs to my sister.

Cinnabar.

Also known as the philosopher's stone.

It showed up in Dragon Quest, too.

Heat it up, and you get mercury.

There they go again with their weird sorcery.

Do as you like outside the village.

But take so much as one step over this bridge, and I'll kill you.

Rules are rules.

Melt some gold dust into the mercury, and...

Don't inhale this smoke.

It'll kill you.

And now you have a shiny golden spear.

Oh, man!

What good will this sorcery do?

It's not good for jack.

But you're Kin ro, aren't you?

So a golden sword. It's perfect for you.

I hope you aren't trying to buy me off with this nonsense.

Nuts.

That won't work on Kinro.

All he ever says is that rules are rules. He's super stiff.

That's right.

Rules are rules.

Kinro.

Though I don't see the need to remove it, either.

He just needs one more push!

A-Are there any silver spears?

You're like one of those people who spend all their time

collecting materials in Monster Hunter.

Mon... Hun?

You have plants, too?

Felworts, sweetroot, canker root...

They're all used in traditional medicine.

They're all drugs.

Yeah.

I have no idea if they work or not, though.

I've been trying them on my own body and collecting the ones that were good.

I'll collect anything if it'll make Ruri better.

That's why I became a sorcerer.

I thank you for bringing me the healing water of the hot springs

for my illness, Kohaku.

You weren't here yesterday. Was something the matter?

I accidentally fell asleep along the way.

I spent the night in the forest.

"Accidentally"? Please...

You need to work on your carelessness.

Jasper, Turquoise, would you mind leaving us for the moment?

I'd like to speak with Kohaku in private.

I can't do that, Ruri-sama.

We can't let the priestess be on her own.

Kohaku is my sister.

Please.

Kohaku, you idiot!

Your hair is knotted differently.

Something must have happened to you

that was grave enough for your hair to come undone.

Ruri-nee!

Please don't do anything crazy.

I don't have much time left.

Don't put yourself at risk for me.

Senku, is there no sorcery that can save Ruri?

No science?

It depends on her condition.

But in this stone world...

Chrome, I should tell you everything.

Everything that happened 3,700 years ago.

About the world before the collapse.

Why are you bawling all of a sudden?

What's up with your emotions?

I'm not crying!

Wait, damn it! I am!

Who caused the petrification?

If I ever see them, I'll kill them!

How could we lose this?

Our human predecessors

spent millions of years slowly building this crazy, technological civilization,

and it got wiped out in the blink of an eye?!

I'm pissed as hell!

It's not wiped out, idiot.

The whole thing's right here.

Where?

Humanity isn't going down that easily.

Two million years of human history is

right here inside me.

And right here inside you.

Am I wrong?

You're not wrong.

Of course you're not.

Senku, I'm going to build this nation of science with you.

And I'm going to defeat Ruri's sickness!

So tell me!

Didn't you say earlier

that there's a scientific way to save Ruri?!

Yeah.

We're making the ultimate medicine of science...

The antibiotic.

Maybe I don't know what to do.

Hurry up, my mind is on the moon.

Flying up to where the wind blew.

In my hands awakens.

The passion overflowing.

Just wandering through this world.

Your one shining pure.

Could never be pierced with a rusty knife

I'm burning like a fire gone wild.

The moment an arrow shot through my heart.

The noise plaguing me was released.

Everything was different from that moment on.

If I don't try, I'll never know.

Why do flowers bloom?

Your voice echoes.

Tell me why?

I just shouted to the sky.

But you are no no no longer here, that's right?

The life we confirmed that day.

You can call it a fleeting dream if you want.

But I'll save you from a wounded today.
