Original subtitles

Alright, the ship is almost complete.

That's what we thought...

but the pieces are getting crooked, so they're not assembling well.

In other words, the hull is warping!

Fixing one means adjusting the others. I'm at the end of my rope!

Sorry.

This isn't your fault, Kaseki.

That's very kind of you.

You almost got this old man's heart.

Well, that won't be necessary.

Shipbuilding requires advanced skill even by modern-day standards.

It won't be an issue.

We can always try again and learn from our mistakes.

The Kingdom of Science's motto is trial and error, after all.

It'll take years to complete this ship.

I'm concerned about Why-Man's next move.

Yeah, I failed to see that coming.

With Why-Man involved, we don't have the time or luxury to redo it endlessly.

We have to change our plan.

We'll give up on the big ship

and go for a smaller boat that only fits a few people.

Only a few people?

Almost everyone can't get on then!

I'm getting on no matter what.

I guess we have to give up on completing my dear ship.

-I'm going. -I said it first.

Give up, you say?

How can I let go of...

my gorgeous big sailing ship...

Ryusui.

I've grown sick of your greed.

You need to learn when to let go.

As per your uncle's order,

your allowance is only one million yen, starting this month.

"Only" one million...

I'm supposed to "let go"?

Those words don't exist in my dictionary.

I just have to be more relentless in my pursuit of what I desire!

Isn't that right?

If my funding is cut, then I'll just make money!

My name alone is capable of generating money in the finance market!

The solid credit of the Nanami family

gives me approval from underwriters and grants me lucrative trading options!

DODGEBALL D-1 CHAMPIONSHIP PRIZE MONEY: ONE MILLION YEN

Kids, you need to be at least 13 to use the VR device.

Cursed Ryusui! What was he thinking?

His dissolute lifestyle has gone too far!

He's a disgrace to the Nanami Conglomerate!

What do you think about Ryusui, François?

I'm in no position to comment.

It's fine. Just say what you truly think about him.

Master Ryusui is not being dissolute.

It's easy to make excuses

for not pursuing the things you desire the most.

One can simply give up before getting hurt.

But Master Ryusui doesn't lie to himself.

He's always been clear about what he wants and keeps moving forward.

I don't see that as being dissolute.

Desire...

is noble.

You have access to real ships.

Why stay up late building a model?

Modern ships are great and all,

but they contain too much modern technology.

I want to add a more traditional aesthetic.

My desires are endless.

I've made it clear that I'm the greediest man alive.

This is a 1/48-scale model of a massive sailing ship.

Now I want someone reliable

whom I can build this ship with.

It has to be someone worthy of working with me.

I'll make the model for our ship.

By upscaling with precision,

we can fix this ship that Kaseki worked so hard to make.

I know you can do it, Senku,

given your brilliant mind.

Yeah, I sure can.

With the help of the model-building geek who can make a 1/48-scale model

with ten billion percent precision, I can make it happen.

Who do you think I am?

I'll make it more impressive than the prototype.

Are you sure about this?

He's not charging ten billion Drago for his skills, right?

No need for that!

Going after what I want is reward enough!

It feels assuring to see Senku and Ryusui partnering up.

I bet they can accomplish anything!

I won't give up on anything!

Desire is noble!

Alright.

What are you doing, Miss Minami?

I'm recording the whole process of building the ship.

I call it...

"The Photo Journal of the Kingdom of Science!"

The cargo bay

will be right under the main mast.

I see.

We can install pulleys on the yard

to lift and lower cargo easier.

Impressive, Sailing King Ryusui.

Spoken like a true sailor.

Then, we use the extra space to set up a casino on the ship!

We don't need that!

We disassemble Ryusui's model

and make upscaled copies of the parts.

This tool is fascinating.

By tracing the picture, the wooden arm draws a larger version of it.

Yeah. The size is doubled.

But we can't use it to build an actual ship.

To make a real ship, we use a pantograph that magnifies the image 48 times larger.

It'll require a lot of strength to use.

Why would you need strength to draw?

It's huge!

This pencil is probably around 50kg!

Light work for me, though!

I see how it takes a lot of strength now.

Maybe the Nazca Lines were drawn using the same method.

Enlarging the blueprint to a 1/1-scale to adjust the measurements of parts

is the age-old shipbuilding method.

Whoa, we've cleared half of the steps on the ship's road map!

What else do we need now?

-Time. -Oh no!

Not only the hull,

but the giant steel engine takes forever to build.

My goodness, how many months will that take?

We persist until we get it done.

We can work on it while we enjoy some winter sports.

This documentary will become a masterpiece.

We're actually doing winter sports!

We can't work when it's snowing anyway.

Now that we have carbon fiber, we can make all the skis and snowboards we want.

These are the merchandise. We're going to make a fortune.

Hosting events will be impor...

This is so much fun!

Kohaku looks like a beam of light since she is moving so fast.

By mixing ozone produced by electric sparks into bay laurel,

we can forcibly create vanilla extract.

That's a strange ingredient for chocolate!

Powdered red pea has a hint of chocolate flavor.

Add that with some bitterness from nuts and vanilla extract,

and we get a chocolate substitute.

Where is my chocolate?

I see. It's Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day?

I told you events are important.

It's for raising Drago... No, it's meant to raise morale.

It's chocolate!

This is bad! It's so delicious!

Where is my chocolate?

These are all photos of us having fun.

As a reporter, I wanted some shots from our everyday life.

This year could be the last...

It's nothing! I was just trying to say that I'll record everything I can.

You're welcome to leave your comments!

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

Yeah, girls used to get photo stickers.

This handwriting is lovely. Is this Mirai's?

It's mine.

Writing on photos is a nice idea.

Although this is tough work,

this process can turn the worst scrap iron

into durable steel!

Yes, otherwise, the massive engine might blow up.

We need a three-meter furnace, the largest ever.

The burning coals remove oxygen...

We don't write stuff like that on photo stickers!

The machines we use for shipbuilding need an upgrade.

This is called a lathe, right?

What do you need it for?

To make a level-two lathe.

What do you need that for?

To make a level-three lathe!

I think I get the idea now...

There's no shortcut to industrialization. We have to get there one step at a time.

Is it alright that we're catching bugs while Senku and the rest are working?

A stag beetle!

We don't need stag beetles. We need wild silkworms.

They're the ancestors of the domestic ones.

Since we're going out to sea, we might have underwater missions.

I want a swimsuit!

A swimsuit made from silk...

The texture feels so nice!

Nice texture... Can I feel it?

Not again...

Kohaku looks like a ghost in photos taken with primitive cameras.

It took us one year to finish.

It was faster than expected.

I remember hearing that in the past.

Thankfully, Why-Man never attacked us.

Maybe the enemy is waiting for us to make a move.

Then, we'll search the bastard out!

With this ship, we'll sail to the outside world!

I knew this was coming...

Those who are leaving won't be with us anymore.

Everyone, gather around.

The work is complete. Let's take a photo with the ship.

Just how many photos are you taking anyway, Miss Reporter?

Those going on the ship will leave those who are staying here.

This was the last year we got to be together.

We might never see each other again.

At least with photos...

I get it now.

Dear Minami was tasked with selecting the people we revived.

She knew them all.

Why cry?

This isn't the end for us.

I'm ten billion percent sure the petrification mystery will be solved,

and we're ten billion percent coming back from the other side of the Earth.

Okay, okay! But at least let me take a photo of everyone.

But I can't be in the photo, because I need to press the button.

I prepared for that!

I asked the artisan to craft a timer for the camera.

So this is why you needed that device.

Just how far ahead do you anticipate stuff?

It's a modified clepsydra. What a primitive timer.

Who cares, as long as it works?

-You fool! Stop pushing! -Come on, smile for the camera!

SEPTEMBER 10, CE 5741

SAILING SHIP PERSEUS, COMPLETED

I'm over the moon!

After so much time and effort, it's finally complete!

This is, without a doubt,

the greatest masterpiece in my life as a craftsman!

"Perseus, Ship of Science."

This name sounds so powerful.

If I remember right, Perseus is a hero from Greek mythology

who defeats the monster Medusa which turns people into stone.

This is bad! That's such an auspicious name.

That's because we're about to uncover

the secret of humanity's petrification

and recover the Petri-Beam!

We're going on an adventure to the other side of the Earth on this ship!

I'm sure everyone was anticipating this ever since we shared this plan last year,

but today, we split into two teams.

The Globetrotting Team will uncover the mystery of petrification,

while the Civilization Team will stay here.

As the captain, I took the liberty to come up with a list of crew members!

Although I was hoping everyone could get on this ship.

Don't be silly! If that ship sunk, it'd be game over for humanity!

You have a point.

There's a passenger limit anyway.

Naturally, exploring the unknown is a dangerous mission.

We might never come back alive.

I can't even guarantee your safety.

So when you hear me say your name, you can choose to stay!

It's up to you to make the decision.

It's rude to even ask.

I'll be safe as long as I'm not on that list...

What's with the serious speech?

If it's necessary, we'll drag everyone we need on board!

Once on the ship, getting away is ten billion percent impossible!

Leave the dirty work to me,

even though I have no intention of going.

If we leave it to Gen, we can convince everyone in no time.

But if there are unmotivated people among our crew,

they may get themselves killed

and endanger the whole ship.

Isn't that right?

The brave among you who are called, step forward and prepare to board

the Perseus, Ship of Science!

First off, the essential engineers!

Senku, Chrome, Kaseki!

Whoa! Senku is already on the ship!

Shouldn't there be a speech of resolution and farewell?

That's the Senku I know.

Yuzuriha!

Am I an engineer?

For the sail.

Radar and sonar, Ukyo!

Our cook, François.

Now, the hands for the labor-intensive operation of this ship,

the Power Team!

Come aboard after your names are announced!

I didn't mind staying behind and governing the village.

I know very well that Master Magma isn't satisfied by such small ambitions.

It's faster the other way around.

Who are on the list but not on the ship?

Kinro!

Understood.

Only Kinro goes up after his name is announced. How rigid.

Rules are rules.

They probably won't need me.

They only need Kinro, right?

That's because Kinro is much stronger.

I'm just ordinary. I'm not that strong.

And...

Ginro!

No!

I'm not going! I don't want to go to the other side of the Earth!

It's too risky!

Ginro, what are you blabbering about?

It's alright not to come with us.

As I said, going on board is entirely your choice.

The Civilization Team is equally important.

Is that true?

In that case, I'm staying.

I understand the ship needs the Power Team.

However, I'm concerned about one thing.

Hyoga and Homura are still in jail.

If all the strong combatants are on the ship,

Japan will fall under their control

if they ever escape.

They're on the ship!

The problem is solved if we have them in the portable prison aboard the ship.

Are you sure about this?

It's probably not a good idea.

But it's riskier to keep them on land.

If the occasion arises,

we might have to release them and use them as our final trump cards.

Friend or foe, they're formidable warriors.

All right, the entire crew is aboard.

It's time to bid them farewell.

Don't be silly.

Gen, you're the last one.

For real?

You probably don't need me. I'm super weak in combat.

We don't know what kind of enemies we'll come across.

We need our mentalist for all contingencies.

I guess you're right...

If Why-Man attacks,

staying would be just as much trouble.

I might as well stay with the King of Science, Senku's team.

Maybe that's safer for me.

As long as it's advantageous to me, I don't care about where I am.

Senku.

I finally understand now.

Pretending to have a bad personality is the sneaky rat's pride.

How troublesome.

Set sail!

Into the unknown waters outside the stone world!

To the outside world!

-Safe trip! -Godspeed!

-Be sure to come back alive! -My brother is counting on you!

We'll take care of the culprit behind the petrification

and get the Petri-Beam!

We're heroes, man!

They finally set sail.

Not everyone on the list was willing to come aboard.

It can't be helped. This is a dangerous journey.

Ginro... How could you...

I know you've always been this way...

What?

Ginro jumped into the water!

Wait!

Kinro! Senku! Ryusui! Everyone!

I know it's dangerous,

but I want to fight!

For everyone's sake! For the world's sake!

I want to go too! Take me with you!

Ginro...

Did everyone on the shore see this? Take a photo now. Take it!

Well? Did you capture my passionate chase?

As a seaside tribe, I know that

not even Ukyo can hear me,

given the distance and the noise from the waves.

I couldn't get there.

I wish I could have.

Ginro, your bravery is so charming!

You're different from those who stayed behind out of fear.

Of course, I don't want to go on a dangerous adventure.

But, I want everyone to think I'm brave.

So, I want both!

Ukyo, turn the radar to the mainland.

Why?

Just a gut feeling.

Senku, thank...

No, never mind.

Something is approaching from the shore.

Is it Why-Man?

That's not possible, you fool.

Ukyo just said it's coming from the shore.

Someone wants to come aboard and is chasing after us.

Could it be...

Why?

That was quite impressive, Ginro.

You earned my respect!

What a surprise.

I thought you were the worst kind of coward.

I really didn't expect this turn of events, for real.

I've always believed in you, Ginro.

-Ginro... -Science is...

such a nuisance.

Kinro won't feel lonely anymore.

I never feel lonely.

Where is our first destination?

Are we going straight to the other side of the Earth?

No.

I've decided on our first stop.

Treasure Island.

An island?

Where is it?

Why are we even going there?

We are going to retrieve the item capable of saving everyone.

It's the island where my father and the others made an emergency landing.

The place where the astronauts who escaped the Petri-Beam

and the space shuttle Soyuz went into eternal slumber.

We're going to the island where "The 100 Tales" started.
