[KOHAKU]
Huh?
[KOHAKU]
This is it.
The key to a scientific victory,
passed down by Senku's
father and his team.
[KOHAKU] They used the
ultimate treasure box--
the Soyuz spacecraft!
[chuckles]
The spy team already
managed to track it down.
Now we're just a few steps away
from nabbin' Byakuya's treasure.
[KOHAKU]
Somewhere inside of this thing
lies the magic substance
that will allow us
to revive all humankind.
[KOHAKU]
Platinum!
[KOHAKU]
Ah! It's crumbling!
Heh. Of course.
Even if the metal outer
shell was fortified
by the wisdom of
modern civilization,
it still couldn't stand up to
thousands of years of exposure.
But let's see how
the inside held up.
[KOHAKU]
Huh?
[KOHAKU]
Stone.
[GEN]
A concrete ball. Really?
[SENKU]
Yeah, assuming it survived.
Hard to b*at a concrete shell
when it comes to preserving
things over time.
[KOHAKU]
Right.
The glass record was preserved
with a similar method.
We had a hint that
it would be like this!
Back then, I was free to break
the stone away by force.
[KOHAKU]
But if I tried that now,
in the heart of
the enemy's camp...
[yelling]
[ALL]
Hm?
--[ISLANDERS yell]
--[KOHAKU screams]
[KOHAKU] The secret
to saving our friends
and humanity itself is right
here... just out of reach.
[SOYUZ] But she's deep
inside the enemy base.
If she makes too much
noise, she'll be heard.
[SUIKA]
It's not like there's a way
to smash a boulder open
all sneaky-like.
They'll catch her for sure!
[SENKU]
Hm?
[groans]
If only we had somethin'
like a silent b*mb to work with.
[GEN laughs]
Too bad.
A spy w*apon that
ridiculous can only exist
in the daydreams of
a middle schooler.
Huh? I'm gonna have to burst
your bubble there, Gen...
...'cause silent bombs are
as real as these hands.
You mean that crap
actually exists?
And the name is seriously
that on the nose?
[SENKU] They're used to
quietly bust up concrete
in residential areas.
Think "silent b*mb"
was a brand name.
The technical term is
"expansive demolition grout."
[GEN] Well, that's
certainly a mouthful.
[SENKU laughing]
All I gotta do is pour
a tiny bit of this powder
into this vial of liquid.
Why's he acting so creepy?
If he mixes up those vials,
they're gonna go
kablooey for sure!
Let's go ahead and try it out.
Hey! Wait!
What's wrong with you?
Are you trying to k*ll us?
[laughs]
I didn't call it silent
for nothin'.
It's not actually expl*sive.
It'll just turn into plaster.
[GEN]
Huh? Plaster?
As in the stuff people use
for sculptures and casts?
[SENKU]
Spy team, listen up.
[KOHAKU gasps]
[SENKU] Your mission is to cr*ck
open that treasure chest
and snag the platinum inside it.
Huh? A pack'a rats?
No, not again!
[ISLANDER B]
There're so many!
There're somethin' weird
about those rats.
Huh?
I've never seen
anything like 'em.
[AMARYLLIS]
Pardon.
This is a little
bit embarrassing,
but I'm practicing my
dance for the master
and I want it to be perfect.
Might I trouble you
gentlemen to watch
and tell me what you think?
[ALL gasp]
[AMARYLLIS giggles]
[ISLANDERS laughing]
[OARASHI] Now that's what
I call a miracle dance!
This girl's got moves!
[GINRO]
Wow.
You two distract the guards--
buy me as much time as you can.
[chuckles]
[OARASHI] But what's this other
woman's problem, huh?
[gasps]
Aren't you gonna
dance for us?
[GINRO]
Yes, sir!
[ISLANDERS chattering]
[GINRO] How the hell am
I supposed to do this?
[KOHAKU]
This is...
[SENKU]
Grab the tools I sent you
with the mini-mice mobiles.
Of course that's what
we're calling them.
Why wouldn't it be?
And dig. The holes can be
as skinny as you want.
[chuckles] I'm counting on
your strength, Kohaku,
so feel free to go full lioness.
Ha. Don't call me a lio--
Oh, yeah, Senku can't hear
a word I'm saying right now.
I'll be as quick and
discreet as I can.
But I'll have to
make some sound.
[OARASHI]
Hm?
[BOTH]
Huh?
[ISLANDER A] Ya hear that?
Sounds like grinding.
[ISLANDER D]
From the master's tree?
[AMARYLLIS]
Uh-oh! What now?
[GINRO yelling]
Whoa there! That's my spear!
The heck do you
think you're doing?!
I'm showing you my
special spear dance,
which is totally not made up!
Huh?!
[AMARYLLIS]
Thanks, Ginro!
But this'll get awkward
when they realize
you don't know a spear dance.
[GINRO yelling]
[ISLANDERS gasp]
[GINRO yells]
--[GINRO yelling]
--[AMARYLLIS laughing]
[AMARYLLIS]
Hey. That's insane!
Where did you learn
to handle a spear?
I'm actually one of my
village's gatekeepers, so...
Obviously, I'm ready
to run from anything.
I've spent hours honing these
flashy yet pointless tricks
so I can spin my way
to safety anytime!
[AMARYLLIS] Why are you saying
that like you honestly think
it's something to be proud of?
[SENKU]
Once you've dug out your holes,
get your two vial types
and shove 'em on in.
The one full of liquid
is just water
straight from Sulfurina's lake.
While the powder filled one
is called anhydrous
calcium sulfate.
I mixed heated sulfuric acid
with crushed seashells.
Once the mix
started clumping up,
I took some more shells
and alum and-- Uh.
Never mind. No time
for long explanations.
Heh. It's not like I
would get it, anyway.
So next I push them both down
with this plug, right?
[SENKU]
Now leave it for a while.
Let our two substances mix
and soon enough they'll
turn into plaster.
And-And what'll happen then?
It grows, but since it's
stuck in that tiny-ass hole,
the plaster is forced
to make room for itself.
It'll shatter the
concrete from within,
hitting it with a force of
kilograms per square centimeter.
[KOHAKU] I set the b*mb
at around noon,
so time to see if it worked.
[KOHAKU gasps]
[BYAKUYA]
Senku,
there's no telling what
you'll need in the future.
But I'm leaving you
this inheritance.
A treasure chest stuffed
with rare materials.
Gold. Diamond.
And also, platinum.
Because, Senku,
I know that someday, you're
gonna revive the whole world
in a snap--just like that.
[chuckles]
Nothing's achieved
in a snap, dummy.
This'll take patience
and hard work.
But you're right.
Someday, it'll happen.
[SENKU] Science will
quietly break stone.
[KOHAKU]
This is it.
The power of science cracked
open this treasure box.
[KOHAKU] If my sister's
Hundred Tales are accurate...
[KOHAKU] ...then towards
the center of the stone,
I'll find the platinum we need.
But locating something I've
never seen before won't be easy,
and then there's the matter
of digging it out.
Even with the stone cracked,
I can't avoid making
noise as I take it apart.
Actually, noise might
be helpful here.
If I hit something
that sounds weird,
it may well be the treasure.
[crash]
[KOHAKU]
So loud!
[ISLANDER E]
Huh?
What was that?
[KOHAKU]
Heh.
Please don't tell me that I
just shattered the contents
of the treasure box we've
been after all this time.
No, no, no. I'm sure
it's perfectly safe.
[KOHAKU]
Oh my god!
[KOHAKU]
It's literally just sand?
[OARASHI yells]
[KOHAKU]
No.
Despite its appearance,
the sand itself must have value.
[KOHAKU] That's how it
always is with Senku.
He takes all these little
fragments of our stone world
and transforms them
into something useful.
[ISLANDERS]
Huh?
[KOHAKU]
Ha. Without really intending to,
I seem to have become
a full-fledged citizen
of the kingdom of science.
[ISLANDER A]
Look here!
Huh? It musta
crumbled on its own.
I mean, it's not like we heard
anyone hammerin' at it, right?
Damn it all. This motor's trash.
The axle's too wobbly.
At least it was good enough
for the mini-mice-mobiles.
The janky movements
made them more lifelike.
[SENKU] Yeah, but a
drone made with these?
It'll crash for sure.
I could really use Kaseki's
skills right now.
[laughs]
Look, a mouse mobile!
Think we just got
a special delivery
from Kohaku and the spy team!
[SENKU gasps]
[gasps]
[SUIKA]
Uh?
[GEN]
It-It's just sand.
[SUIKA] It does have a lotta
sparkly bits, so there's that.
It's gold dust.
Byakuya and his people
must've collected it...
[SENKU] ...from the tiny
river on this island.
Talk about arduous labor.
[SENKU chuckles]
Thing about gold dust is,
depending where its gathered,
it can very, very, rarely
contain bits of platinum.
Case in point.
Ah-ha!
So this tiny little speck is...?
That's platinum?
But it's so little!
Think it's gonna be enough?
We've gotta work
with what we have,
but it's far from ideal.
If we had a fingertip's worth,
we'd be in business for sure.
[SUIKA]
No worries, guys!
I'll go get a bunch
from the river!
Don't bother, Suika.
Look, I need you to understand
just how friggin'
rare platinum is.
Sift through a ton
of the earth's crust
and you'll find . grams.
I'm grateful to have even
a grain of the stuff.
If you're just scrounging
through a riverbed,
you'd need decades to find more.
Look at all that! How could
they have found so many?
You were just saying collecting
that much would take decades?
[gasps]
[BYAKUYA] There was a certain
theory in my time.
Some folks thought that if
people were all-but wiped out,
rebuilding human civilization
would be impossible.
If all the easily
accessible materials
that foster new technologies
have already been stripped
from the Earth's surface,
then without that early
infusion of resources,
civilization goes nowhere fast.
With that in mind,
I think it'll help bootstrap
a new civilization
if we gather as many rare
minerals as we can now
and gift them to those
who come after us.
[BYAKUYA] Maybe this stuff'll
come in handy someday.
Or maybe it won't.
Hell if I know.
Then why work so hard?
Why not rest?
Yeah, why are you so
desperate to gather it?
[BYAKUYA]
Why? Isn't that obvious?
It's who I am.
[BYAKUYA] I'm an astronaut.
The last one this planet has.
I say that working towards
a future full of science...
[BYAKUYA] ...it's part
of my job description.
I'm lining things up
for the next astronaut.
[SENKU] Been petrified
for ,, seconds.
One. Two. Three. Four.
[BYAKUYA]
When I kick the bucket,
throw all the stuff I gathered
into that round
thing over there.
[SENKU]
,,, seconds.
One. Two. Three. Four.
[BYAKUYA]
Ah. How lucky.
I fell forward,
so I can see the stars
reflected in the
water's surface.
I don't mind that
I'm not the one
who gets to look up at them now.
[BYAKUYA]
Senku.
[GEN] While you patiently marked
the passing of each second,
your dad was on his
hands and knees
steadily sifting through
decades of sand.
You're alike.
[chuckles]
Yeah, and we aren't
even blood relatives.
Huh? Wait, what do you
mean by blood relative?
Is he not your real dad?
The only thing he ever told me
is that I was his friend's kid.
I never pressed him to say more
'cause I never gave a rat's ass.
Those kinds of details
just don't matter.
[GEN chuckles]
True.
They really don't matter.
Not a bit.
After all, the connection
you two share
is self-evident, I think.
It's in your unbending will.
Your unbreakable spirits.
Damn straight.
And now more than ever,
I'm grateful as hell, Byakuya.
Thanks for your years of hard
work. We'll take it from here.
[SOYUZ, SUIKA gasp]
Let's get this thing started.
It's time for us to
whip up a machine
that can make unlimited
revival fluid!
[KOHAKU, GINRO, AMARYLLIS]
Huh?
[AMARYLLIS]
What's going on?
[GINRO]
I-I don't know!
Is something wrong? I'm scared!
[KOHAKU]
That path leads to...
[IBARA]
Hmm.
Hm?
[IBARA]
Ice?
[ISLANDER H] I think it came
from the room made of clear ice!
[KIRISAME]
Minister Ibara.
[IBARA]
Hmm. This isn't good at all.
Why, it's a jolt to this
old heart of mine.
[gasps]
It seems we have
intruders amongst us.
[GROUP gasps]
[GEN] This is your
most science-y looking
doohickey thingamabob
yet, Senku!
[SUIKA]
This means we can free everyone
who ever got turned
into stone now, right?
[SENKU]
Heh. In theory, yeah.
[GEN] I have absolutely no
idea what I'm looking at.
Isn't this thing dependent
on the platinum
that your dad spent
decades collecting?
Can you at least point out
where that is for me?
[gasps]
[SOYUZ]
That coil.
[SUIKA]
It really is just a tiny bit.
[SENKU] Yeah. The gas
just needs to touch it.
This Pythagora Switch Rube
Goldberg machine lookin' thing
races our ingredients
through its maze
toward the final flask.
Till, drop by drop,
we get our miracle fluid.
Nitric acid.
Even now, I still can't
pretend to understand
anything about how
this nitric acid works.
But I do know one
thing for a fact.
This substance that we valued
enough to fight for,
enough to go to w*r for, even,
has ceased to be a miracle and
become a product of science,
because you, dear Senku,
made it with your own hands.
Yeah.
At this point, humanity's
revival is all but guaranteed.
[SENKU chuckles]
[SENKU] But before we get
to the rest of our species,
let's revive our
friends on the ship.
Get the kingdom of science
back to full strength.
Here we are on the island
where it all began.
We're nearing our
final objective.
Fight for the petrification
beam and win.
[chuckles]
This is exhilarating.
Get excited.
