Original subtitles

Yeah, I thought so too, but...

Some parts don't reach! It's all misaligned! They just don't fit!

And now the hull's starting to warp, too!

I fix one side, and then the other is off-balance!

It's all falling apart!

I'm so sorry!

It's not your fault, Kaseki.

You're too kind to me.

I might just fall in love.

Uh, I think I'm good on that front.

I just meant that building a ship this large has always been a huge undertaking, even for the experts of old.

Well, it's no biggie.

It's just a matter of trying new things until we figure it out.

Our Kingdom of Science is built on trial and error, after all.

And how many years is that gonna take, exactly?

We'll be sitting ducks, just waiting for Why-Man to strike.

Yeah, that's the only thing I couldn't account for.

Now that Why-Man's in the picture, we don't have time to keep starting from scratch.

We're changing plans.

Let's forget about making a massive ship and just make a smaller sailboat with a limited crew.

Limited crew?!

That means most of us will be left behind!

One way or another, I'm getting on that ship.

Do I really have to give up on you, my sweet, darling ship?!

Give up?

On something we desire?

On our elegant mega-sailboat?

Ryusui...

I've grown tired of your impertinent greed.

It's high-time you learned when to give up on something you desire.

By order of your uncle, your allowance has been reduced to a paltry million yen.

Paltry?

He wants me to give up, huh?

I don't know the meaning of those words.

If there's something I desire, I simply have to keep working until I get it.

Am I wrong?

If he won't give me the money, I'll just make it myself!

My very existence prints money on the financial market, after all!

By taking advantage of the trust placed in the Nanami name,

I can trade options that will always put me in the green, and even sell underwriting services!

Not so fast.

You little kids aren't old enough for VR.

That damn Ryusui!

Who the hell does he think he is?!

All he does is engage in petty self-indulgence!

He's a disgrace to the Nanami name!

What do you think of Ryusui, Francois?

It is not my place to comment.

You're free to answer.

And to do so honestly.

I do not believe Ryusui-sama to be self-indulgent.

It is easy to convince yourself that you do not need something you truly desire.

It allows you to give up before you get hurt.

But Ryusui-sama does not deceive himself in this way.

When he wants something, he is not afraid of proclaiming it loudly and working towards it.

Such fortitude could not be further from self-indulgence.

Because greed is

noble.

You have access to countless ships, so why do you stay up so late working on a model?

Those ships are fine and all, but they're a bit too modern for my taste.

I prefer something with a touch of traditional beauty.

There's no end to the depths of my desire.

Haven't I told you?

I'm the greediest man on Earth!

What I'm working on is a 1:48 scale model of my ultimate motorized sailboat.

And one of these days, I'm sure I'll find someone who can help make my dream a reality.

A man worthy of being called my partner.

I'll make a model for our vessel.

After that, it's just a matter of scaling it up.

With his skills, Kaseki can reference my model and adjust as needed.

You know we can pull this off, Senku.

Or am I wrong?

No, you're absolutely right.

As long as we've got someone who's so obsessed with making model ships

that they can make a 1:48 scale model with ten billion percent accuracy.

Who the hell do you think you're talking to?

I'll design the most exhilarating ship you've ever seen, and then some.

You really think this is a good idea?

Won't he demand, like, ten billion drago for his services or something?

I have no need of such payment!

The only payment I need is seeing my dream fulfilled!

Somehow, I just know things will work out.

Because when those two are working together...

it feels like they could accomplish anything!

I refuse to give up on anything I desire!

Because greed is noble!

There we go.

Whatcha up to, Minami-chan?

I'm going to chronicle the construction of the ship from start to finish.

This will be the Kingdom of Science's first photo journal!

A cargo hatch is critical, of course.

As such, I've moved it below the mast.

Oh, I see!

Since it's under the sailing boom, we can attach a pulley and move freight with ease.

They don't call you the sailing king for nothing.

Your real-world experience certainly shows.

And how do we utilize the extra space we gain? You guessed it!

We're building an on-board casino!

Like hell we are!

Now that Ryusui's model is done, we'll take it apart and make enlarged copies of each piece.

This is such an interesting tool.

When you draw a picture, the other pencil draws the same thing, but even bigger!

Yeah, but this one is only twice the size.

That's still way too small for our ship.

That's why we're gonna use a 48x pantograph for the real thing.

We need someone crazy strong to operate it, though.

Um...

Why do we need someone strong just to draw a picture?

Talk about huge!

This pen must be at least 50 kilograms, huh?

Not a problem for me, though!

Now I see why you need someone strong...

Who knows, maybe this is how the Nazca lines were drawn, too.

With this, we can make full-size blueprints and modify our ship parts as needed.

Just like they did during the Age of Discovery.

We're already halfway through the roadmap to our ship!

What else do we need?

We need time.

Even after we finish the hull,

we've got some crazy-huge engines to make, so settle in for the long haul.

Are we ever gonna be done?

We'll just have to be patient.

And I guess we can try out some winter sports in the meantime, right?

This photo journal is turning into a photo epic!

He really wasn't kidding about winter sports!

Not like we can work with all this snow, anyway.

We've got plenty of extra carbon, so making some skis and snowboards is no problem.

Yep, and we can sell them, too! Meaning we'll be swimming in drago.

People are suckers for seasonal merch, after all.

This is so much freaking fun!

Actually, can you slow down a bit?

You're just showing up as a blurry streak in the photos, Kohaku-chan.

Using electrolysis, we can create some pure ozone.

Toss in some bay leaf extract, and that gives us vanilla essence.

I don't remember making chocolate like this!

By grinding up some red peas, we can mimic that distinctive cacao flavor.

Finally, we round out the flavor with nuts and add the vanilla essence.

Now we've got faux chocolate!

Any ladies want to give me some?

Ah, like on Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day?

Holidays are very important, you see.

For the drago—I mean, for morale, of course.

It's chocolate!

Holy shit! It's so damn good!

Ladies, my chocolate?

All these photos are just of us messing around!

It's my job as a journalist to capture the essence of everyday life, too.

Besides, this year might be the last time we're all...

Ah, sorry! Don't mind me!

I just wanna make sure I get pictures of everything, that's all!

Feel free to add captions to them, too, guys!

Oh, this is cute. It's like something you'd make in a photo booth.

Is this adorable writing Mirai-chan's?

It's mine, actually.

Adding captions to the photos, huh?

Not a bad idea.

This certainly ain't easy.

But I guess it's what we've gotta do to transform our weak-ass iron

into some ultra-strong steel that can really take a beating, huh?

Yep, and we're gonna need it.

Otherwise, our massive engine will just explode.

For this, we need a three-meter furnace—our biggest yet.

We use coal coke to remove oxygen from the iron, yielding pig iron.

That's not really the kind of caption you add to a photo!

Next, we transfer the pig iron into a revolving furnace and blast it with oxygen.

Gaseous impurities such as silicon and phosphorus rise to the top, leaving steel at the bottom.

We need to upgrade our crafting equipment, too.

A lathe, was it?

Whatcha making with it?

An intermediate lathe.

And what do you make with that?

An advanced lathe!

I think I see where this is going.

We have to crawl up the machining tech tree step-by-step.

There are no shortcuts this time.

Senku and the others are pouring their sweat and tears into their work.

Is it really okay for us to be out here messing around with bugs?

Stag bug!

No, not stag bugs!

We're looking for silk bugs!

Specifically, the wild silk moth.

If we're going out to sea, we need to be able to work in the water!

And for that, we'll want swimsuits!

So this is a silk swimsuit?

It's incredibly soft to the touch!

Soft to the touch, huh?

Could I try touching it?

Ah, not again...

Until we get better cameras, I guess Kohaku-chan will just have to stay a blur.

A year later, and we're already done, huh?

That took less time than I expected.

I feel like I've heard that line before!

And Why-Man was kind enough to leave us alone, too.

Maybe he's waiting for us to make the first move.

In that case, he only needs to wait a little longer.

We can finally set sail and track him down!

Right.

It's almost time to set sail.

At least, for those who are going.

All right, guys, gather 'round!

Now that it's done, I want a group photo of everyone with the ship!

Don't you have enough photos already, you damn journalist?

But this might be our last chance to take one together!

Some of us are staying,

and some of us are going!

This past year might've been the last one we ever get to spend together.

We may never see each other again.

If that isn't worth a photo, what is?!

Oh, right...

Minami-chan was in charge of choosing who to revive.

She knows practically everyone here.

What are you talking about?

We've got plenty of years ahead of us.

We're ten billion percent solving the mystery of the petrification

and ten billion percent coming back from the other side of the planet.

Either way, I still wanna take a picture with everyone in it!

Though I guess it won't quite be everyone, since I have to take it.

Since I suspected this might happen,

I commissioned the development of a camera timer.

Oh, so that's what this doohickey is for?

Francois' foresight is way too keen, man.

You're using a bamboo tube fountain?

Talk about a primitive timer, man.

Who cares? If it works, it works!

Quit shoving, jackass!

All right, here we go!

Say cheese!

I've never been so happy!

We darn near broke our backs building this thing, but it's finally ready to go!

In all my years as a craftsman, I've never worked on a project this large!

Without a doubt, it's my magnum opus!

The Vessel of Science, Perseus...

What a powerful name!

Perseus is a hero from Greek mythology, right?

The one who defeated Medusa, I believe.

I guess that makes it insanely fitting then, huh?

Just like Perseus, we're setting off to capture the one behind the petrification.

And just as he did, we'll take their petrification beam for ourselves.

It's time to set sail and create our own epic tale that will go down in history!

When we started this project a year ago, I'm sure everyone knew this day was coming.

But as of this moment, we're splitting into two teams.

The globe-trotting exploration team will uncover the mystery of the petrification,

and the civilization development team will stay behind in Japan.

I, the captain, have personally compiled a crew manifest!

Though, if Senku had let me, I would've welcomed you all into my crew!

To hell with that, jackass! If the ship sank, humanity would go extinct!

Yeah, I guess that's true.

Is the ship even big enough for everyone?

Needless to say, this unprecedented mission will be beyond dangerous!

You may never return.

There's no guarantee you'll even survive.

So even if I call your name,

you're free to stay behind, should you so choose.

That's up to each of you to decide.

C'mon, man, you already know my answer.

There's no way my name is on the list, right?

That was a noble speech and all, but you don't have to worry about that.

If you need someone, just tell us and we'll trick 'em into coming along!

Once they're on board, they're ten billion percent stuck on the ship!

I'll con anyone you need!

Just don't expect me to get on!

I don't doubt that you could convince everyone on the list to join the voyage, Gen.

But if we're stuck with unwilling sailors,

their deaths are the least of our worries.

They could endanger the entire crew.

Am I wrong?

So again, only board the Perseus if you're willing to accept the risks!

With that said, here's our crew!

First up!

No crew can function without its engineers!

Senku, Chrome, Kaseki!

Senku's already on board!

Couldn't he, I don't know...

try to be more emotional about leaving?

That's just how Senku is!

Yuzuriha!

Do I really count as an engineer?

Of the sails, yes.

On radar and sonar, Ukyo.

Our cook, Francois.

And of course, every sailing crew needs its muscle!

Step on up, power team!

Don't board until he calls your name!

Of course, I could just stay behind and lead the village, but I won't.

I understand perfectly, sir!

You've never been the kind of person to settle for such a small-time gig.

It would've been faster to say who wasn't on the list.

Who do we still need to call, anyway?

Kinro!

Very well.

Of course.

He's the only member of the power team who waited for his name to be called.

Rules are rules.

Surely I'm not gonna be called, right?

He just wants Kinro, right?

Because, you know, he's strong or whatever.

I'm just, well... I'm just kind of here.

Next...

Ginro!

No freaking way!

There's no way in hell I'm going to the other side of the planet!

You'll have to drag me kicking and screaming!

Ginro, quit the bellyaching, man.

Nobody's forcing you to go.

Like I said, you should only get on if you're absolutely sure.

The development team has important work to do, too.

Is it really okay?

I think I'll stay behind too, then.

Though I understand why the power team is needed on the ship,

there's one thing troubling me.

Hyoga and Homura are still in the jail.

If all the Kingdom's mightiest warriors set out on a voyage

and they somehow manage to escape...

they'd take over all of Japan.

We're taking them?!

It's a mobile prison.

It's fine as long as they're with us, right?

Is this really "fine"?

It's certainly not optimal, but they're too strong to risk leaving behind.

It's also risky bringing them, of course.

But it does give us a trump card, should we find ourselves in a fight.

If worse comes to worst, that is.

I suppose that's everyone, then?

Let's give our brave crew the send-off of a lifetime!

Don't play dumb.

The last name on my list is yours, naturally.

It is?!

Oh, but surely you don't really need me, right?

I've got the strength of a bean sprout, you know.

We don't know what kinds of enemies we're going to run into.

Isn't that exactly the kind of situation we need a mentalist for, dumbass?

I guess you're right...

I suppose if Why-Man were to attack, staying in Japan would be just as dangerous.

In that situation, I might even be safer if I'm on the same team as you, Senku-chan.

Not that I really care either way,

so long as I come out on top.

Senku.

I think I finally realized why Gen keeps up that evil guy act.

It lets him pretend his true desires are just part of some scheme.

Talk about a pain in the ass.

Weigh anchor!

It's finally time to venture forth into the uncharted waters of this new world!

We're setting sail!

Stay strong, guys!

Be careful! My brother is counting on you!

You'd better come back!

We'll capture the one behind the petrification, confiscate his beam, and be back in a jiffy!

Man, we really are the heroes of this story, huh?

They're really gone, huh?

Some of the people who got called chose to stay behind, huh?

I can't say I blame them.

This voyage will be a dangerous one.

Ginro, is this really who you are?

No, I still believe in you.

I know the type of man you truly are, deep down.

What the heck?!

Ginro dove into the water!

Wait up!

Kinro, Senku, Ryusui!

Guys!

I don't care if it's dangerous!

I wanna fight, too!

To protect humanity!

To save the world!

So let me come, too!

I wanna go!

Ginro!

Well, are you watching, guys?

Is this a good angle?

C'mon, take a photo already! Take one!

Do you like my sudden change of heart? Pretty dramatic, huh?

Of course, as a person of the water, I'm well aware...

The waves will drown out my yelling.

Not even Ukyo could hear me at this distance.

I couldn't catch up to them.

I really tried my hardest, too.

Your bravery makes you all the more dashing, Ginro!

You're nothing like those cowards who couldn't face their fears!

Obviously I'd never go on such a stupid, dangerous mission.

But if the ladies think I wanted to go, well...

I get the best of both worlds!

Hey, Ukyo, can you point the radar over at the shore for a sec?

Uh, sure. But why?

Just a hunch, that's all.

Senku, are you doing this for...

Never mind.

I'm sure that's not why.

There's something approaching from the shore!

Could it be the big bad, Why-Man?!

How would that even work, blockhead?

He said it's coming from the shore.

I think someone's chasing after the ship, trying to get aboard.

No way...

How the f—?!

Not bad, you crazy bastard.

Maybe I misjudged you!

Same here.

I thought you were just a pathetic sleazeball through-and-through!

Even I didn't see this one coming, if I'm being honest.

I never doubted you, Ginro!

Ginro! Ginro!

Wow, science sure is amazing, huh?

An amazingly large pain in my ass, that is.

Well, guess this means Kinro can stop being all mopey now.

I was never mopey.

So, where are we charting course to?

Straight to the other side of the planet?

Nope.

We've gotta make a quick pitstop.

At a treasure island.

An island?

Which one?

And more importantly, what for?

We're picking up a god-tier item we'll need in order to save humanity.

It's on the island where my dad's team made their crash landing.

The very first spot that humanity touched in this stone world.

The resting place of both the astronauts and the Soyuz capsule.

And the birthplace of the Hundred Tales.
