[chuckles]
[SENKU]
I'm so nostalgic
I could just about
cry my eyes out.
Is that--?
Yeah.
[TAIJU] That's where
Senku and I woke up,
and where everything started.
[TAIJU]
The miracle cave.
The place you told us about,
where we get the stuff
from bat guano.
Our nitric acid.
[YUZURIHA] Nitric acid
is used for everything--
from breathing life into the
statues to making gunpowder,
which can destroy anything
in this primitive world.
It's a miracle water that can
bring both life and death.
Which is why Tsukasa has
so many people guarding it.
[TSUKASA] Yo. I won't let
your death be in vain.
Senku's objective
is the miracle cave.
We'll stop them in the names
of Yo and the other fallen,
and build a new, ideal world.
[HYOGA]
Yes.
--[TSUKASA] Huh?
--[HYOGA] Hm?
[gasps]
Tsukasa and Hyoga are at the
grave. It's pretty far away.
Just the kinda thing
I was hoping to hear.
It's almost game time, everyone.
One blast of this
t*nk's fake cannon
and any modern person's morale
will immediately sink
ten billion percent.
But don't forget that we're
on a time limit here.
The enemy will only panic and
have the instinct to run away
for the first seconds or so.
After that, the enemy will come
to their senses and retaliate.
And if we fight,
people will die.
Uh, so seconds in,
we're k*lling each other?
[MAGMA laughs]
That's when the real fun begins,
and we m*rder 'em all!
[KINRO]
No. Nobody dies.
Those are the terms
of our alliance.
The rules are the rules.
Break them and who
knows what'll happen.
[SENKU laughs]
In other words, our victory
conditions are tough.
We're conquering
the miracle cave
with our science-
powered blitzkrieg--
without k*lling a single person.
All right then.
Let's get this started!
Okay, Steam Gorilla... Move out!
Everybody, get ready!
[KOHAKU]
These next seconds
will decide the future
of humanity!
Fire!
[VILLAGERS yelling]
[ALL gasp]
[chuckles]
[SENKU]
Hidden inside our little m*ssile
is a glass jar full
of sulfuric acid.
When the glass breaks,
the acid will mix with
the surrounding fuel
made from alcohol and coal ash.
It'll at least
look like a giant
Hollywood-budget expl*si*n.
[MEN yell]
Tsukasa's ready.
He's been expecting us to
att*ck with a steam engine.
And the miracle cave should be
an itical-cray
facility to protect.
I bet the way there's full of
all sorts of anti-vehicle traps.
Oh, definitely.
Ten billion percent.
[GEN]
So, Senku, how about a detour?
[SENKU]
No way. Charge!
[BOTH]
This is bad!
[yelping]
[SENKU]
Go!
[MAN E]
What is that? Wait!
[MAN K]
No way, is that--?
[MAN M]
A t*nk?
We're screwed!
They're smashing right
through all our traps!
[MAGMA laughs]
I could get used to
these t*nk things!
It's no surprise you
like them, Magma.
We busted through their traps.
That's saved us precious time!
Let's go, everyone!
Frontal as*ault!
Crap! It's an ambush!
Stop 'em!
[KOHAKU] The opening
encounter's the most crucial.
Hope the panicked grunts
can't pull off a counterattack.
[KINRO]
k*lling's against the rules.
But how do we handle them
with that kind of limitation?
[MEN chuckle]
Taiju!
Whoa! That broke my spear!
[KOHAKU]
It's a carbon shield.
What'd you say? Carbon?
You have that in
the stone world?
Don't worry, you guys!
You can count on me
to stop all the att*cks
at the head of the pack!
[MAN F] You couldn't even stop
the one that hit your head!
[MAN K]
Man, that dude is tough.
Now listen here!
Hasn't anyone ever told you
that hitting people is wrong?
[MAN F] Is he really saying that
in the middle of a battle?
[TAIJU yells]
[KOHAKU]
Their weapons! Knock 'em away!
Tie up every last one!
Follow Kohaku!
[GINRO whimpering]
[laughs]
[MAN M]
The t*nk's finally down.
All right! The traps
worked after all!
This is bad.
Eriously-say.
[SENKU chuckles]
Honestly, we lasted
longer than I expected.
[SENKU]
All right, Magma. You're up.
[MAGMA]
Hmph.
Who said you could boss
me around like that?
You could at least say
"please" next time.
[BOTH gasp]
[MAN M]
What is that?
[MAN G]
A copper plate?
[MAN M]
Is it another shield?
[SENKU chuckles]
It's one of our science
surprise gadgets.
A kind of modified sonic b*mb.
We're harnessing all the
sound of a detonation
with a parabola and
sh**ting it at the enemy.
Time for ear plugs!
Hope you're ready for this.
Our acoustic w*apon:
The shock cannon!
[MEN yelling]
[MEN groaning]
[MAGMA laughs]
[KOHAKU, KINRO yell]
[MINAMI]
Everyone's panicking.
This is the exact opposite
of what Tsukasa said to do.
In case of an ambush,
calmly retreat and regroup.
Is that so hard?
[MINAMI]
Oh, well,
it's a good chance to use
my journalistic skills.
I'll go report to Tsukasa
and tell him what's going on.
"Wow. You're such a capable
woman. Stay here by my side."
Ah! Can you imagine?
[MINAMI gasps]
You won't be going any farther.
No way. Ukyo?
We won't let you.
Huh? Nikki, what--?
[MINAMI laughing]
Minami!
Damn it! We gotta tell Tsukasa!
Hey, hold up!
No one's getting away
on our watch!
Chrome, move!
[CHROME]
Damn it! This is bad!
The b*mb popped!
They're coming!
[MEN yelling]
[TAIJU] Not good!
We can't fight off that many!
[BOTH gasp]
[TAIJU yells]
[ALL gasp]
Damn.
Any casualties?
Zero.
Aw, yeah! The miracle cave!
We actually conquered it!
[TAIJU, CHROME chuckle]
[GINRO laughs]
[VILLAGERS cheering]
It's been a long time.
[TAIJU] So, going forward,
the two of us will be spies
inside the Tsukasa empire,
and you'll be recruiting
for the rebel science army.
We'll each be fighting
our own battles.
[SENKU]
That's the idea.
Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Better get going
before we start to cry.
It's been a whole year
since we parted ways to fight
this battle, to make it here.
[TAIJU yells]
Finally! We finally
have it back!
A bucket of bat guano turned
nitric acid. It's ours!
The miracle water!
Now that we got a hold
of this, we're set!
We can make revival
fluid and gunpowder!
[CHROME]
Hey, what are you doing, Senku?
We won, get excited!
[TAIJU laughs]
[TAIJU]
He's always been the type
to keep a cool head, ya know?
It takes a minute
before he celebrates.
Hey, Senku!
Yeah?
Trust me, I'd love nothing more
than a big victory party
right about now,
but we don't have the
time to waste on that.
We're gonna start
making gunpowder.
[CHROME, TAIJU gasp]
He's right, and that's bad!
We need to get ready before
Tsukasa and the rest of his crew
catch on and find us here!
[SENKU] Da-da-da-dah!
Sulfur and charcoal!
It's my instant
gunpowder starter kit.
All you gotta do
is add nitric acid
and you're ready to
make things go boom.
So well epared-pray.
'Course I am. Gotta save time.
[TAIJU] Aw, yeah!
You know what this means!
Victory for the
kingdom of science!
[CHROME]
We've got gunpowder!
[gasps]
[UKYO]
No way.
They're fast, but
not that fast. How?
Get outta here!
[ALL]
Huh?
Run for it!
[gasps]
[GEN] Ah! That was
our ace in the hole!
[SENKU]
sh*t. My chemical compound.
[MAN A]
We're screwed!
[MAN B]
We don't stand a chance now!
Damn it. You're kidding me!
[MANTLE whimpering]
Even with Kohaku
and Magma here,
having to fight one of these
guys would be hard enough.
Doesn't matter which,
either one would be
too much for us alone.
[HYOGA]
It would appear that you've
already figured this
out instinctively.
But any hope the kingdom
of science had of winning
has just disappeared.
[SENKU coughing]
[TSUKASA]
Hey, Senku.
[SENKU]
Yo, Tsukasa.
What a long, long
battle it's been.
A whole year has passed.
It's upsetting.
It pains me to think I'll have
to take your life a second time.
[chuckles]
[SENKU]
That's so cold, man.
And after I crawled my way
out of the pits of hell
to see you again.
All I had to climb was the
thin thread of science.
[MAN A]
Uh-oh. What do we do?
[MAN N]
I don't know.
[LILLIAN]
Don't worry, y'all!
[WOMAN A]
Lillian?
[MAN B]
She must be inside the t*nk!
All right, then!
Let's get over there right
now and protect her!
Yeah, everything'll be okay!
The U.S. Army'll be here soon!
[gasps]
[HYOGA]
Lies, all of it.
Enough of this charade.
Show yourself, Gen.
You could never really contact
a place as far as the U.S.
with such a primitive phone.
Damn it. They've got us
totally figured out!
[SENKU chuckles]
No wonder they got
here so quickly
if they found our cell phone.
[MAN B]
Gen?
[WOMAN A]
You were impersonating her?
Yes, it was a close one.
But by a thin margin,
this w*r has just been won.
[HYOGA] You and your people
have lost, Senku.
But I have a proposition.
If you would agree t--
Yeah, yeah, you don't have
to spell it out for me.
I understand.
You'll let all these
fine people live,
but in exchange, the science
man has to die, right?
[VILLAGERS gasp]
[HYOGA] You took the words
right out of my mouth.
I appreciate your
perceptiveness.
[TAIJU]
No! Don't, do it, Senku!
[TAIJU] It's gonna be...
just like before.
I-I can't lose you again!
[SENKU chuckles]
I don't wanna see your face
all gross and tear-stained,
you big oaf.
How is this like before?
Go pluck your eyeballs
out and wash 'em.
Remember, Taiju?
You didn't make it in time
back then. I was on my own.
But look around you.
This is way different.
We've got tons of allies here.
I've got you and my kingdom of
science buddies backin' me up.
[KOHAKU]
Yeah.
Got that right, Senku.
Uh-huh. You've got another
science man right here.
[KINRO]
We're with you.
You've said from the very
beginning that no one dies.
And rules are rules.
It may be tough, but we
trained hard for this,
and we're not about
to give up now.
Yes. There's no doubt
that Senku's our leader.
But he's also our friend.
[laughs]
So all we gotta do is take down
these two? Should be easy.
You guys are a little too
passionate for my taste.
But I guess if Senku
were to lose now,
I wouldn't get to drink
my cola anymore.
[TAIJU laughs]
Yeah, you're right.
This is nothing like last time.
Senku. Forgive me.
[KOHAKU]
Hah.
Hey, long-haired man,
it's been a while, huh?
Not too friendly, are you?
What's wrong with "Hello," or, I
don't know, "Nice to meet you"?
You wanted a nicer greeting.
It's a bit overdue,
but allow me to give you one.
[KOHAKU] Nice to meet you.
We are the kingdom of science.
Do you have some kind
of plan? Kohaku!
[KOHAKU]
Of course not! Obviously.
But we need to protect
the miracle water.
This is siege warfare.
If we can buy even a little
bit of time, then...
Our scientists can do it.
I know they'll figure something
out and find a way to win!
Yeah, sure, but
in case you forgot,
we're out of
chemicals and stuff!
There's no way!
[SENKU]
Run, scientist!
[CHROME]
On it!
[HYOGA]
They'll be dying for nothing.
I suppose they're just
brain-dead barbarians after all.
[BOTH yell]
[SENKU, TSUKASA]
In this primitive stone world,
the winner will be decided by...
[TSUKASA] ...the force granted
to humanity by nature:
Strength.
[SENKU] ...the fruit of
humanity's endless efforts:
Science!
