[GEN] Ha-ha! You came for me!
Senku and the g*ng's all here!
Get me off this wild ride!
Ha-ha! We're sailing straight
into the heart of the enemy!
You're kidding me!
[SENKU]
Nope.
We're going on a rampage
to slow down Ibara.
The statue retrieval team
needs some time,
so it's up to us to buy them
every millisecond that we can.
Huh?! There's only
nine of us, though!
And we're up against hundreds
of hardened soldiers!
Your plan's a bust!
[IBARA gasps]
[laughing]
It looks like our futile
fight's already begun!
[MAGMA laughing]
[MAGMA yells]
[MAGMA laughs]
It's sort of ironic, huh?
Everyone waxed philosophical
about the gravity of
reinventing the g*n,
and was convinced
we wouldn't use it
to claim the lives of others.
Time to die, Ibara!
[ALL gasp]
[ISLANDER D]
They're messing up the boat!
[ISLANDER E]
How many sorcerers are there?
Those lofty ideals were sh*t out
of the sky within mere seconds.
Ruining plans is pretty much
the only thing he's good for.
[laughs]
Now just drop dead!
[NIKKI]
How 'bout you drop dead?
If anybody's dyin',
it'll be you!
How are you standing after that?
I'm almost kinda impressed.
Well, if you wanna
dance, let's dance!
Praise be to Nikki,
the group's trusty big bro.
Don't waste amm*nit*on.
Got that, Yo?
Wasting the b*ll*ts means
wasting our secret w*apon.
Seriously? The cylinder
just has three sh*ts left!
What is that, Senku?
Another Tr*mp card?
[SENKU]
It's magnesium.
Get excited for some
impromptu fireworks.
Ready.
Oh-yo!
[IBARA]
Wh-Wha--?
[GEN] Spear of Light!
Unleash your fury!
[ISLANDERS gasp]
[GEN] There are sorcerers
aboard this vessel
and every last one's gonna go
pew-pew and light up the place!
[ISLANDERS yelling]
All right! That bluff
worked wonders!
[SENKU chuckles]
Well, it kinda helps when
it's not actually a bluff.
That g*n is legit.
[CHROME]
Check it out.
A boat is coming towards
us instead of fleeing.
[SENKU chuckles]
Somebody's certainly punctual.
Won't be escaping or talking
our way outta this one.
It's a head-on battle
with the biggest
and baddest of them all.
[NIKKI]
We're counting on you, sheriff!
[MOZ] It just takes the flick
of a sorcerer's finger
to work their strange
enchantments.
[MOZ]
That one's casting the spell.
I see your finger!
It has to be you!
[YO yells]
[YO screams]
The g*n! And just like
that, we're done for.
[KINRO groans]
Well, Senku? Any tricks left?
Some scientific Tr*mp card?
Played all our cards
from every suit.
Guess them's the breaks.
[GEN] Oh, man!
We're trapped like ship rats!
[CHROME] Now I know why
they call it a "dead end."
You tried, but failed.
Well, well, well!
At last we meet, invaders.
Ha-ha. You gave
a valiant effort.
I confess, I was left
in a state of awe!
However, the time has come
to put an end to this.
[SENKU]
Tch.
You didn't corner us.
We backed ourselves
into this room.
'Cause it's right
where we need to be.
Huh?
Inside the storage room?
We actually do have one
remaining card, Gen.
The one I didn't
wanna use. The joker.
[GEN]
I see.
Ibara and his army of cronies
weren't able to get through
this metal gate of science
when they had the chance.
Very well, then.
What choice do we have?
[gasps]
Ha-ha. No going back.
The wildest of wild
cards is free.
[KINRO]
Hyoga!
Take my spear.
Our fate's in your hands.
But we lost the g*n--
the only w*apon that could put
this guy back in his cage.
We know how insanely
strong he is,
so how are we going to stop him?
[chuckles]
That's a problem for the future
kingdom of science.
We don't even know if the
great Hyoga will team up
with the people who caged
him to begin with.
But if we want any
hope of winning
against their powerful ace,
our one and only option is
putting the joker into play.
[IBARA] The kid with the mask
they're calling "Hyoga,"
I could've sworn he was a statue
when we checked this room.
Actually, so was that one
in the fancy hat over there.
Where the hell do you think
you're going, you old--?
[HYOGA]
That swing was quite telling.
He's on an entirely other level.
[HYOGA]
This Moz person,
I take he's the reason
you revived me?
Yeah. Good job on piecing
it together yourself.
[HYOGA] Did you forget the
fact that I'm your enemy?
Nope, not for a millisecond.
[HYOGA] Which means I could
either join forces with you
and we can reign over the
kingdom of science together,
or I could join Moz and we
can annihilate the lot of you.
Decisions, decisions.
Regardless of what you want,
the choice is solely mine
to make in this situation.
[IBARA]
Those sorcerers have magic
that brings petrified
people back to life!
Even if they've been
shattered to bits!
[IBARA] This is bad!
What if they revive him?
[IBARA] The smashed remains
of the master's statue
still pose a thr*at!
[GEN groans]
[GEN] We need to get
Hyoga to declare Moz
his mortal enemy somehow!
Surely there's an oolproof-fay
means to make that happen.
You're a mentalist,
Gen, so think!
Maybe if I can convince Moz
that Hyoga's our sworn ally
and will die to defend us,
the latter will be forced
to fight the former.
[GEN]
Proposition for you.
Pretend you're madly in
love with Hyoga, okay?
[NIKKI gasps]
Um, hello?
Amaryllis is the one
who's good at faking
like she's in love with
someone, not me, Gen!
Yes, but you're the
only woman here now.
You can't be any
worse than Kohaku,
and even if you are, who cares?
Pucker your lips like this and
say those three small words!
Easy as pie!
All right. I'll say it
if it'll really help.
There's just one issue.
Those three small words,
well, they aren't
so small to me.
I won't say "I love you"
unless I'm genuinely
in love with them.
That rite of passage is special.
[GEN] Ah! I forgot! She's the
purest romantic of us all!
[HYOGA] Shut that slimy,
deceptive mouth of yours, Gen.
Consider it shut and locked!
I beg you to spare me!
[HYOGA]
You don't have to beg.
I value your silver tongue as
if it were made of solid gold.
You've been given a task in
this world and you excel in it.
The same goes for you, Nikki.
You were quick to act,
despite how hard it would be
for you to go through
with his request.
Yes, you are indeed proper.
[HYOGA] If I ally myself
with this formidable Moz,
I would have to k*ll almost
everyone here behind me.
You still want to save all of
humanity, don't you, Senku?
Pity you put stock in that
short-sighted goal.
[HYOGA] Quite simply, I believe
humans should be culled.
Leave the countless fools of
the petrified to their slumber
and only pass on superior genes.
Through evolution, we will give
rise to the apex of our kind.
Moz, what are your thoughts
regarding this matter?
[RYUSUI]
He's evaluating us.
His answer will determine
who he sides with.
Huh. Have to say I agree.
Hyoga is your name, isn't it?
Well then, Hyoga, you're right.
This culling of
yours sounds great.
[MOZ]
I can gauge his strength
about as well as I can
see his masked face,
but that's the answer
he wants to hear, right?
[MOZ] In fact, we already put
your beliefs into practice
on this island.
The prettiest women are
selected from the herd.
If you're as strong
as I take you for,
you too could have
a harem of your own.
[MOZ]
But I'll still k*ll you.
[RYUSUI laughs]
[RYUSUI]
What a childish mindset, Moz!
All women are beauties
in their own right.
To think you're blind
to such eye-candy.
I desire every woman
in the whole world!
They're all beauties?
[GEN] Well, I suppose it would
be more surprising to hear
that there was something
he didn't want.
[MOZ]
Hmm.
[HYOGA]
So if I'm reading you correctly,
the lone factor that determines
a person's worth to you
is how physically
attractive they are?
[MOZ]
Hm?
Of course. When it
comes to ladies.
Doesn't every man alive?
[HYOGA]
Ah, I see.
It was anyone's guess
whose side I chose.
I wasn't leaning one
way or the other.
Both have pros and cons.
[HYOGA]
But I've made up my mind.
Wow. It's done!
[SOYUZ]
Father.
Took years, but I
finally returned to you.
And now, we return you
to all of your people.
[IBARA]
What's this?
Kirisame!
What're the odds?
She came exactly when
I needed her to!
[HYOGA]
Senku, stand aside.
Uh-huh.
[yells]
He'll fight better
without us in his way.
Let's move out!
[yells]
Hang on, everybody,
because the retrieval team
is just about there!
[HYOGA]
See?
Setting me free was
the correct call.
My allies have done quite well.
Shazam!
Don't hurt me!
[GEN]
Best stay down!
Dangerous sorcerers
coming through!
[HYOGA] Though I'm sure you'd
love to chase after them,
you can't simply turn
your back on me.
You don't win battles
by ignoring them.
Let's have a proper fight.
[MOZ]
Heh.
[KINRO] We're heading
back to the island?
Yeah.
Which is a really bad idea!
The entire island's
gonna get blasted
by the petri-beam thing!
So why go back?
Well, for starters, we
definitely need to abandon ship.
I was talking out of my ass
when I said he'd fight
better if we left.
Hyoga ain't soft,
and he'd easily k*ll us.
[OTHERS]
Well, yeah!
[GEN] Ha. That was
in perfect harmony.
Truth be told, there's
a little something
we gotta go pick up
on the island.
If we can make what
I'm hoping for, it's over.
We win.
[MOZ]
Heh. All right, Hyoga.
If you really want a proper
fight, then let's have at it.
I'm even focusing, because
I know you're a strong one.
[HYOGA] Heh. Then he's finally
going to stop holding back.
[MOZ]
So sorry.
I feel like I gave
you the impression
that you stood a chance
when you never did.
[yells]
[growls]
Hey, Oarashi!
[IBARA chuckles]
I have a job for you to do.
Take this trinket here
and run it up to the
island's center, quickly!
[OARASHI]
Hm?
That means you're petrifying
the entire island?
You can't!
If Oarashi is holding the
device when it's activated,
he'll be caught in the light.
There's no way to escape it!
And? How exactly does
his fate affect me?
Come to think of it, though.
Petrification's not
a death sentence.
The sorcerers have a way
to revive stone people.
But even so, you're
staying here with me.
You have to protect me,
and you'll do a much
better job than Oarashi.
And besides, he's just
a disposable pawn. Right?
You're writing off
your loyal guard?!
Either way, not all of the
islanders are safe yet!
[IBARA]
This is the master's will.
You would dare to defy him?
It's the master's will?
[BOY A]
Hey! Master!
[BOYS shouting]
Pretty please?
Will you turn the
mountain to solid rock?
The whole thing! Bam!
But why? Just for a little fun?
We heard there's a
monster up there now.
We're scared. Really scared!
[SOYUZ'S DAD]
Hmm.
[KIRISAME screams]
[SOYUZ'S DAD]
It's a scarecrow.
One that's seen better days,
so someone must've
discarded it here.
[KIDS]
Ohh!
I want you to
understand something.
The petrification light mustn't
be used over a whole mountain,
or any broad area
for that matter.
[SOYUZ'S DAD]
Though we're a blessed species,
the world doesn't exist merely
to serve us humans.
It belongs to all living
creatures, both great and small.
May this be a lesson
you'll always remember.
[KIRISAME] Petrifying the
island's not only unheard of,
it's without a doubt
an abuse of that power.
Minister Ibara.
I'll ask you one time, is this
idea truly the master's will?
[TAIJU]
Hey!
Check it out, everybody!
We brought the master!
Hey, do you see?!
Your master's here!
Or what's left of him,
'cause he's nothing but
a stone statue now!
Wow, I bet everyone can hear
him, even from way up here.
He certainly projects.
We have to show them up close.
Hearing it doesn't mean
they believe it's true.
He was turned into stone?
What's going on? Explain now!
[TAIJU]
Look! This is the master!
Just one meter.
And one single second!
No! Why, Minister?
You-- You're pure scum! Ibara!
Farwell, my dear.
Thank you for your
hard work, dedication,
and above all else,
your gullible nature!
Shame it turned out this way,
but what could I do?
You're guilty of
knowing my secret.
They might att*ck!
[UKYO]
Let's go! Run as far as you can!
Well, it's almost done.
Only thing left is to turn
these invading rats
into crumbling piles of rock.
[g*nsh*t]
[gasps]
Um, what was that noise?
[groans] It's sorcery.
[YO] Ibara, you have the
right to remain silent!
[chuckles] I've been dying
to say that for years!
[YO] I sh*t one b*llet in the
air and a second at Moz,
but I saved the last
one for the big bad.
Crap you say will be
used against you.
How'd the rest go?
And is this battery?
Obstruction of
somethin'-or-other.
Ah, whatever.
The point is, you're under
arrest! For being a jerk!
[gasps]
[screams]
[laughs] Sweet victory!
Snatched the Medusa!
