[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 cr*ck 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 att*ck
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!
[expl*si*n]
[gasps] An expl*si*n?
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 att*cked 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 t*rture,
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 t*rture.
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 k*ll 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 att*ck 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 b*at.
Stop right there!
I can use the power
of science to k*ll 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 k*ll 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 w*apon
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
, -volt stun g*n.
[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.
