[YO] We made it to
the treasure island!
Now let's go!
Kinda bites that we can't
all charge in together.
It would've been fun to have
the whole crew blitz the place.
We better not.
We don't know what kind of
people we're dealing with.
Yeah, but y'know what?
We've got the power
of science on our side,
and that's gonna give us one
baad lead over the competition!
I don't think we can be
quite so sure of that.
Well, we're the only ones with
radar technology, at least.
If the islanders had it, they'd
have detected our ship by now.
Yeah. Which means
Chrome's right.
Science is gonna
be our Tr*mp card.
So let's use the eyes of science
to sneak up while the
storm acts as cover.
I can't see anything
ahead of us.
And with a ship this big,
it seems like we'd run into
something underwater.
[SENKU laughs]
You underestimate
our sonar man, Ukyo.
[KASEKI] Woo-hoo! Those eyes
of science sure are something!
Who's the genius who put
those things together?
Oh, wait, that's right,
it was this one.
Return to your stations!
The rain's about to let up.
And we're gonna have to hide
this ship before it does.
I've got a reward waiting for
anyone who does a good job.
[ALL cheer]
[RYUSUI] Ha-ha! Time to storm
the treasure island!
[RYUSUI]
Ha-ha! What gorgeous weather!
We snuck in cliff-side
just in time!
You all did exceptionally
well! Perfect marks!
You each get a ,
drago bonus, as promised.
[CREW cheering]
[SENKU laughs]
[SENKU] Hey, save the
celebration for later.
We'll be spotted if we
stick around too long.
So let's hurry this thing up.
We're finally off to
find buried treasure!
You mean we're finally off
to k*ll the islanders!
[YO yelps]
Let's get movin'!
Need a scouting team!
[SUIKA]
Uh! Scouting team?
A full-scale invasion could
lead to an all-out w*r.
Am I wrong?
So we'll go with the
smallest team possible!
Yup.
I hope you guys haven't
forgotten our ultimate goal
in coming to this island.
We're here to plunder
the missing piece
to our infinite revival machine.
Our platinum's waiting for
us in that treasure box.
And if we find it
right away, great.
But if not,
we're gonna have to ask
the natives where it is.
The people who will make up the
scouting squad are these four.
Senku!
Gotta have someone who
can recognize platinum
when they see it.
[RYUSUI] Soyuz!
The only native on the crew.
Uh. I'll try to remember
something helpful.
[RYUSUI]
Kohaku! Defense and vision.
Understood.
[RYUSUI] Gen! For negotiating
with the islanders.
Come on.
[RYUSUI]
All right. Commence operation!
[KOHAKU]
Why isn't Ukyo coming with us?
I may have pretty good eyesight,
but wouldn't his
hearing help, too?
He's busy staring a hole
into that sonar display.
Guess he was looking
at the seafloor.
[RYUSUI sighs]
Well, since they're gone.
Suika, you're here? Since when?
I just wanted to make
myself useful!
I can help 'em with scouting
if you'll let me go!
Honestly, I can't say
I'm too surprised.
I didn't see you
at our send-off,
and you wouldn't miss that.
Not happening!
You're a stowaway, Suika.
and stowaways are returned
to their port of origin.
So until we bring
you back to Japan,
you're gonna behave yourself.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to cause any trouble.
Scouting an unknown island
could be an extremely
dangerous mission.
As our captain,
he would feel responsible
for risking the life of a child.
I understand that he
may come off as harsh,
but Ryusui is simply concerned
for your well-being.
Don't put words in
my mouth, Francois.
Of course, my apologies, sir.
Hey, don't sweat it, Suika.
Everything'll be okay!
There are plenty of
ways you can be useful
right here on the boat!
Like, since the storm
kinda trashed everything,
we'll clean up while we wait!
Okay! We'll make
this place spotless!
This sucks.
Please don't make me.
I thought so. Yup.
Something's down there.
[UKYO]
Hey, if anyone has a second,
could you swim down and
check out the sea floor?
[chuckles]
I guess if you insist!
Certified man of the sea,
at your service!
Gimme a break!
Scumbag! You're just doing
this to get outta cleaning!
[GINRO] Heh. Now I get to
swim in the southern seas!
This is ten billion times better
than clean up duty. Heh.
[GINRO]
Hm?
[screams]
[GINRO]
Whoa! Man, that scared me.
Ah. It's just a statue.
I've seen tons of 'em.
Wait, they're all
over the place!
[gasps]
What's the problem?
We see those stone
statutes everywhere.
[UKYO]
The timeline doesn't add up.
When Earth was showered
by the petrification beam,
this island was all
but uninhabited.
It was only way later that
the astronauts had kids.
So where did these
statues come from?
And when were they petrified?
[RYUSUI]
We're being watched!
Who's there? Who are you?
[gasps] That was strange.
I thought I saw a flash
of light by the boat.
Did I imagine it?
Our signal's horrible.
Bad spot, I assume.
That or they're all too busy
yapping to pick up the phone.
Senku, Kohaku, go ahead
without us a sec.
Soyuz and I'll try
a higher point.
You got it.
[GEN]
Ello-hay?
[SOYUZ] Wonder what
they're up to? Well...
[gasps]
[SOYUZ screams]
Hey, what's the matter, Soyuz?
[screams]
[SUIKA] I still don't really
know what just happened.
I couldn't see
'cause I was sent flying.
Ryusui kicked me
away to save me.
[SENKU] Why are we
sprinting all of a sudden?
Did you find something?
[KOHAKU]
Uh-huh. I found a lead.
These discarded seashells!
Someone's nearby.
It's gotta be someone
who lives here on the island.
They might lead us
to the treasure.
I knew we could count on
your vision, Miss Eagle Eye.
Yeah, but how do we
track them down now?
[SENKU chuckles]
Oh, that won't be
a problem at all.
Hey, Senku!
[inaudible]
I know it's a challenge,
but let's try to stay calm.
Uh. Wait, did you hear me?
I had a feeling this
was gonna happen!
[KOHAKU growls]
The heck is this about?
There's no time,
we have to go save them!
They got every single
person on the ship!
If the four of us rush
in without thinking
and the enemy is still there,
then they'll probably
just petrify us, too,
and that'll be it!
Game over, man!
When did he tie the rope to her?
Don't question it.
Sleight of hand's his thing.
The dude's a magician.
[SOYUZ gasps]
Hold on. We need to stay away.
I just remembered something.
Something traumatic from
when I was a baby.
When I was taken
from the island...
We were running
away from something
that was petrifying people.
Look, I'm sorry I don't
remember everything,
but I'm positive
about that, now.
[KOHAKU]
"Sorry"? You were just a baby.
[GEN] Yeah, it's amazing that
you can remember anything
from that time.
You know, that hint's
actually crazy helpful.
I appreciate anything
you can tell us, Soyuz.
That means...
One, there's an enemy
force on this island
that knows we're here,
and likely wants
us all petrified.
And two, there may
be potential allies
who're trying to avoid
the same fate.
[OTHERS gasp]
Yeah, and if we're
able to befriend
even one person on this island,
then they could point us in the
direction of the treasure box!
Platinum has been acquired!
Which means we've got
infinite revival fluid!
[KOHAKU] And that will
allow us to revive
not only all of humanity, but
our friends on the ship as well!
[GEN]
It does seem like these shells
were carried here by someone.
Yeah.
My bet is they were
discarding shellfish
that were dead or hard to eat.
That doesn't tell us if they
were friend or foe, of course.
But I'd much rather
take our chances
that this person will
tell us where to look
than wander around
aimlessly like idiots
for ten billion years.
Let's find this native quick.
We can still catch
up if we hurry.
I mean, it hasn't even
been minutes
since they left these here.
[OTHERS gasp]
How can you be so
sure about that?
Uh.
These Greenbottle flies can
sniff out the stench of death
from kilometers away.
And on an island this small,
it couldn't have taken long
for them to get here.
Since they've all just
shown up to the party,
that means it's only
been or minutes
since our suspect
tossed the shells.
[KOHAKU, SENKU chuckle]
[SENKU] Get ready for some
painstakingly intricate,
step-by-step forensic heroics!
We'll make the details
of the crime scene talk.
And trust me, they'll
spill where the perp is.
Time for a scientific
investigation.
Is that the stuff you used
when you performed
surgery on Tsukasa?
As an adhesive,
it's called cyanoacrylate.
We'll pour it into a pan,
bring it to a boil
and let the steam hit a shell.
Then we take our good
friend the black light to it
and our evidence will appear.
[GEN]
Uh! Fingerprints!
We can actually see where
the mystery person touched it?
[SENKU] And we can make some
inferences about them, too.
Female, average height,
and weight.
You figured all that
out using glue?
Azy-cray, science detective.
Save your slack-jawed
praise for later
and come up with a suspect
profile for me, will ya?
I need your skills,
mental detective.
Really? Mental detective?
That's my title?
All right, just remember
that being a mentalist
doesn't give me psychic
powers or anything.
This is all
hypothetical, got it?
But I believe the suspect
is a young woman.
An experienced elder wouldn't
bother picking up shells
they didn't have use for.
It's a waste of energy.
And older people tend to
be good at being lazy.
Sifting through their
haul after the fact
would be far too
inefficient for them.
But our suspect walked
away from the beach
before filtering some out.
Probably because it was too
heavy to carry them all.
Which also means
she'd have had trouble
ducking past foliage
or brushing it aside.
A young woman with
an average build,
so let's say centimeters?
If someone of that height
was walking here...
Yup, bingo.
[KOHAKU, SOYUZ gasp]
Here. One strand of
a young woman's hair.
[SENKU]
Excellent work!
Now let's pop the
evidence in here.
[GEN]
Do we need more?
[SENKU]
As many as possible, ideally.
Let's search the area together.
Then we'll toss our
findings into a centrifuge!
Wha--?
Where in the heck are we
gonna find a centrifuge
on this island?
[SENKU]
Hm?
Uh.
Right here.
[KOHAKU]
Huh?
As hard as you can, okay?
Yeah, I got it!
[SENKU]
Our muscle-powered centrifuge
divided its particles
into layers.
I'm after the pollen
layer, so...
[GEN]
Really?!
Good thing I decided to
level up our lathe a bunch.
Made makin' this thing a cinch.
Now then, let's take
a much, much closer look.
[SENKU]
Lily pollen.
Lilies don't grow
by the seashore,
which can only mean one thing.
Our suspect is living in
the interior mountains.
Ha. Scientific investigations
aren't so bad.
We started with nothing and
we're already closing in on her.
With Senku and Gen's
strengths combined,
no suspect could ever
hope to hide from us.
The rest of the job is easy.
We use the preexisting trail
and extrapolate a route
toward the mountains.
That's more than enough.
It's my territory now!
If speed and eyesight
can get the job done,
then this job is perfect for me!
[KOHAKU]
Shh.
[KOHAKU]
Down there.
A descendant of the
same people as us.
From the group that Ishigami
Village branched off from.
Enemy? Or ally?
[GEN] It's not impossible
that she's the one
who petrified everyone
on the ship.
This is risky.
[SOYUZ] Gotta remember
something. Anything!
[chuckles]
Whatever the case,
we have no choice
but to make contact
and gather some intel.
We've made it to this moment
through the power of science.
The key to reviving all of
humanity is in front of us.
A resident of treasure island.
Bingo, there goes
our young lady.
So what do we do?
Capture her?
Nuh-uh. Let's do things
the friendly way for now.
We'll be seducing her
then, into joining us.
Yeah.
She's the only lead we've got,
and I'm not about to lose it.
Once she tells us the
location of the platinum,
we'll be one step closer to
reviving everyone we want.
Looks like a tough nut to cr*ck.
Going up against such a
captivating beauty is icky-tray.
At least, for a normal person,
but I'm a mentalist.
[ISLANDERS] I beg you!
Please consider marrying me!
[SENKU]
Hm?
[GEN]
What am I looking at?
[SOYUZ]
She's cute.
Yeah, y'know what?
Maybe wait for this to play out.
Agreed!
This is a good chance
to get a sense of their
personalities, too.
Let's kick back and watch 'em!
Why do you seem so
excited about all this?
Hush! It's getting good!
We don't want to miss
any of the details!
[AMARYLLIS]
Um. Oh, no. What do I do?
My heart is pounding!
Forgive me if I say
something silly, but...
You've all made me
oh so very happy.
I don't know why you
would want a girl like me.
[ISLANDER C] What do you
mean a "girl like me,"
my fair Amaryllis?
You're the most beautiful
person on the entire island!
Look at her!
I'm not gonna lie, I didn't
expect Soyuz here
to turn into a love-struck
young lad.
[ISLANDERS chuckling]
[AMARYLLIS] But alas, they're
coming to take me tomorrow.
I'm to become one of
the master's brides
at the inner palace.
I'm sure you three
understand, don't you?
You know what happens
to anyone who defies him.
[ALL gasp]
We never had a chance!
That's exactly why we wanted
to confess our feelings today!
It was our last opportunity!
[SENKU chuckles]
[SENKU]
Ten billion points to us.
Tailing this lady was
the right move.
We're already starting to learn
about the big bad boss.
And I have a good feeling she's
gonna lead us right to him.
[GEN]
Amaryllis was her name?
That coveted young woman?
Judging by her choice of words,
we may have a common enemy.
In which case, if she knows
where the treasure box is,
she may choose to cooperate.
Although first
impressions decide
about % of these situations.
So let's make our
introductions carefully.
Hey, where's the
treasure box at?
That was way too direct!
You're not wrong, but
this is classic Senku.
Efficiency is always his
number one priority.
Heh. And I'm on board with that.
We wanna be as
quick as possible
so we can save our petrified
friends on the ship,
and time's wastin'.
Push comes to shove,
I'll hold this at her throat.
Not that I don't respect
and appreciate it,
but you really go all out when
it comes to your friends,
huh, Kohaku?
[AMARYLLIS]
Who are they?
I've never seen any
of them before.
Does that mean they're
from the inner palace?
Are you here to take
me to the master?
That was to be tomorrow.
There's that word again.
Does "master" ring any
bells to you, Soyuz?
[SOYUZ]
Hmm...
[AMARYLLIS] Ah! I had no idea!
You're the master?
I love you. Truly!
Such might, yet such kind
eyes that embrace me!
Just at a glance,
I can tell you and I are
destined to be together!
[KOHAKU]
Ah! Oop, he's down!
He's been petrified!
[AMARYLLIS]
Uh?
So you're not the master?
[SOYUZ]
Mh-hm. Sorry.
You seem the most familiar.
These other three don't appear
to be from this island.
So this "master," do you
mean like, your leader?
'Cause if you look at it
one way, the guy next to me
is the closest thing
we have to a leader.
[AMARYLLIS]
I love you!
Such might, or, uh,
maybe not so much might.
Uh, such kind eyes
that seem to embra--
Actually, they look
more like a villain's.
They're eyes of intelligence!
My dear, from the first moment
I saw you, I could tell we--
Yeah, yeah, I was there
for the last performance.
You know where the
treasure box is, or what?
You two are both so obtuse.
[AMARYLLIS]
It didn't work!
My irresistible charms
were resisted!
Is that even possible?
But I'm so adorable!
Sorry to break it to you,
but that kind of thing
won't work on Senku.
Not until civilization's back.
I, however, am ripe
for the manipulation!
Oh, and that's right,
I forgot to mention!
I'm the master
you're looking for!
[AMARYLLIS]
I love-- Uh!
[GEN]
Ehh...
[AMARYLLIS chuckles]
You had me fooled there
for a few seconds.
Ha! f you want a warm
embrace that bad, Gen,
I'd be happy to oblige!
I'll pass on that!
No offense, but you'd break
every bone in my ody-bay.
So you're not the master
or from the palace...
Then which village
are you people from?
[ISLANDERS shouting]
No, don't tell me.
What's all that shouting about?
Amaryllis, where are you going?
I'm going to my village!
[ISLANDER C] We're just gonna
have to fight back!
[ISLANDER D] Our master--
I mean, that piece of garbage
is going down!
Let's do it, guys!
[ISLANDER E]
It's a riot!
[ISLANDER F]
What, have they all gone mad
because they're taking
Amaryllis away?
[ISLANDER G] It's pointless no
matter how many of us there are!
They're gonna get this entire
village turned into stone!
What do I do?
I'll cut them down if
that's what it takes.
Better than the alternative.
No, you would be
ruining everything!
None of these people would
ever side with us after that!
Then what do you propose?
[SENKU]
Gen, time to break this out.
Uhh...
[SENKU] Science's suppression
device: Chloroacetone.
Heh. Probably better
known as tear gas.
This'll put a stop to the riot!
[coughing]
[AMARYLLIS]
Wow. Was that sorcery?
Who are you people?
We wanna be as quick as possible
so we can save our petrified
friends back on the ship.
[AMARYLLIS]
Listen, I know the secret
of the petrification beam.
[AMARYLLIS] I thought
if I could be appealing
and infiltrate the
master's inner palace,
I could defeat him.
In order to save everyone,
I made up my mind.
I'd become the most
beautiful girl on the island.
I'm begging you,
will you help us?
Please, fight by my side!
