Original subtitles

[bubbling]

[chuckles]

[Soyuz] Um, is it almost done?

[Gen chuckles]

[Suika] Kohaku and the rest of the Spy Team

went deep undercover to get that platinum stuff for us.

And now we've got our own miracle water.

Nitric acid has been acquired!

NITRIC ACID ACQUIRED!!

Oh, man.

It's hard to believe that the Petrification Beam nearly

wiped us out over 3,700 years ago,

and then came dangerously close to doing it again

here on this random island, just in the last week.

[chuckles]

But now we can un-petrify folks.

At this point, humanity's revival is all but guaranteed.

Let's begin the Kingdom of Science's counterattack!

KINGDOM OF SCIENCE VS PETRIFICATION KINGDOM

[opening theme song playing]

[Gen] So now we've got our nitric acid, huh?

And I know that's one of the ingredients on the gunpowder recipe.

Meaning guns are next on the menu?

There's no way we're making that much of it.

We'd need to construct a whole freakin' factory to produce enough!

Not to be a bummer, but we're making tiny amounts with some janky-ass gear.

So we'll have to use it wisely.

Making enough for war would take months.

We obviously don't have that much time on our hands.

Nope. We still have to make our move real quick.

Soon as we've got enough Revival Fluid to wake one friend up,

we're gonna head straight over to do just that.

First, we're saving our God-tier craftsman, Kaseki,

so he can work on our drone.

[Suika gasps]

-[yells] -[grunts]

Oh, no, the island people are just dumping our friends into the water!

Why wouldn't they?

To those guys, our buddies are just useless piles of rocks.

Hear me out, though.

I'm not sure we could've got through the guards

and back on the ship to save 'em,

but if they're just in the water, we can dive down and pick them up.

We'll need to find all the pieces

before the current washes them away.

If that's the case, we're gonna need Ryusui!

He knows how the ocean currents work. Ah!

No one unimportant dresses this fancy.

Which means that this one must be their leader.

[Suika gasps] Oh, no! They're taking Ryusui away with them!

[Ibara] Okay, kids.

I hate to be the bearer of some rather disturbing news, but…

some sneaky little pest may have infiltrated our beauty contest.

Therefore, I have no choice but to flush the vermin out.

[Ginro gasps]

Unless you have a relationship with this stone fellow we picked up,

-you won't mind smashing him… -[yells]

…to bits, will you?

[grunts]

[Oarashi] Next up!

[Kohaku growls] I oughtta smash up these scumbags.

Try to keep your cool, Kohaku!

Please don't do anything crazy.

Remember, even if they break him into tiny little pieces, he's still alive.

Or he will be when we put him together and pour the stuff on him.

[growls]

-[Senku] Hey, Kohaku. -[Kohaku gasps]

[Senku] You should have a statue headed your way.

-[chuckles] Don't worry too much about it… -Wait, you have a plan?

[gasps]

[Ibara] All right, you're up next, blondie.

Kohaku, or whatever your name is.

Now, get to smashin', would ya?

Huh? Unless you're the little pest we're after.

[both gasp]

[Kohaku grunts]

[Kohaku grunts]

[Kohaku yelling]

[gasps]

Ah! What the… Ryusui!

[yelling]

Somethin' like that, right?

Anything else?

[warrior shivering] Whoa! She's a monster!

[Amaryllis chuckles] Oh, dear.

There you go making a mess again, Kohaku!

I'll clean it up! Just a second and it's all done.

Hah. Don't worry.

Without Yuzuriha, we'll have a hard enough time

putting him back together.

I wanted to break him up as cleanly as possible.

Hey, we just got a bunch of stuff sent over from the Spy Team.

[screams]

Sweet. Looks like the first delivery's here!

-[Suika] Huh? -[Senku chuckles]

Uh… Hold on a second. Are they using the mini-mice mobiles

to send Ryusui back to us piece by tiny piece?

Yep! [chuckles] It's not like there's any other option.

The only upside to their Petrification is this piecemeal prison break.

-[laughs] -Don't get me wrong,

I can see the ogic-lay behind this approach for sure.

Still, though, it comes across as something a psychopath would dream up.

[motors whirring]

Ah! Damn rats! Why are they everywhere today?

[Amaryllis] Oh, that's just awful!

I'm sure Kohaku will be able to catch all of them for us!

I can practically hear Ryusui.

[snaps fingers]

[Kohaku imitating Ryusui] Ha-ha!

Dismembering me like that was a stroke of genius!

Thanks to your help, I have the distinct honor

of being the only person in the world to be revived two times!

-That's what he'd say! -Have you gone crazy?

Well, it does kinda sound like him.

[Suika] Poor Ryusui. He was the one who saved me.

The bad guys took away his favorite captain's hat,

so I thought I should make him a new one out of paper.

[low pulsating]

[Suika gasps]

[Gen] Huh? That's a bit odd.

Are we not going to hear

the "crackle crackle" sound like usual?

Nah, he wasn't turned to stone all that long ago.

The crackling's due to the skin eroding and falling off,

but that takes millennia.

In his case, it's only been a few days,

so nothing's that far gone.

What we're witnessing now is the real de-petrification reaction.

[snaps fingers] Ha-ha! Excellent work, everyone!

Thanks to your help, I have the distinct honor

of being the only person in the world to be revived two times!

It worked!

Though not sure I'm the first today.

You are, actually.

Well, if that's the case…

Hmm.

[snaps fingers] We want Kaseki's statue next! Am I wrong?

Check him out, guys. The dude catches on quickly.

RYUSUI IS REVIVED!!

Ha-ha! You've done very well, Suika!

You were the lone survivor on the battlefield.

In my eyes, you're a full-fledged warrior of the Kingdom of Science.

[Suika chuckles]

[chuckles] I get the gist of the situation.

Never doubt a sailor's instincts.

We're catching the Petrification Weapon when they toss it.

A mid-air battle with a kite! [snaps fingers]

BAM!

Am I wrong?

You're wrong!

DRONE!!

[Suika laughs]

[Ryusui gasping]

[Gen] The plan is so wild

that even the greediest man on Earth is at a loss for words!

No. I like it.

Chase down what you want! That's how the Kingdom of Science does things!

[Gen screams]

Is it just me, or is the security, like, insanely tight?

[Suika] Even creepy ol' Ibara and the scary guy Moz are there!

[Senku chuckles]

They're ten billion percent suspicious of an intruder,

which means tons of precautions.

We aren't getting a millimeter closer.

[Soyuz] Uh, maybe we should sneak in really late at night.

[Ryusui] We can't search the sea floor without daylight.

Plus, they'll see when we surface for breath.

That means… we should dive in now!

Come on, Soyuz!

-[Gen] Snap decision! -[Soyuz grunts]

-[water splashes] -So, uh, I guess you and I

were never even considered useful for physical tasks.

Too rimpy-shay.

[both grunting]

[both gasping]

[Gen] Oof, that's too bad.

Not enough breath for a search and rescue dive.

[Senku] Science has the perfect solution.

How about a little scuba diving trip?

With homebrewed oxygen tanks.

[Gen gasps]

DR. STONE

[Gen screams]

You're way too eager to take apart our mobile lab!

We don't have time to build the tanks from scratch,

so that means we'll have to repurpose some stuff.

This was part of the lab, but it's just a steel pipe.

All right! Lid me!

[Gen] That looks so sloppy!

Are you serious, Senku?

An oxygen tank has to handle a lot of pressure.

Well, I have tested it out before.

Just seal it up and solder those seams as tightly as possible.

It'll hold up to about a 100 atmospheres.

Though that one blew up a month later.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, but you are the expert.

I mean, you used to build rockets and stuff.

[Suika] So that's it? This is our "oxygen tank" thing?

It looks like crap. Even for us.

Old man Kaseki's the master craftsman, not me.

It's got a clunky charm to it, though.

So we'll fill it with a clunky pump!

I'll bet one of these engine pistons will do the trick!

[Suika gasps] He's taking it all apart!

[Senku] I'm swipin' the regulator to cap off the tank.

-[laughing] -Kaseki's gonna freak out.

Oh, my poor, beautiful mobile lab!

Wouldn't worry about that guy.

Once we revive him, he can put it all back together, no problem.

Yeah, that he can.

It's good to believe in people,

and the man is exceptionally skilled,

but that's still a lot of hard work that you're gonna make him do!

[Senku] All right.

Now we've just gotta fill this bad boy up with our homemade pump!

I don't wanna jinx things,

but I get the feeling that this is gonna be torture.

Like pretty much all the previous Kingdom of Science projects

that resulted in back-breaking manual labor.

[Suika] Ah. I'm the tiniest one here,

and it's not givin' me any trouble at all!

You're kidding me.

Oh, what do you know about that? I was totally expecting…

That's how it starts.

2 ATM

At around two atmospheres, it's like a glorified bike pump.

[straining]

10 ATM

[all straining]

50 ATM

[Senku] Suika! I'm gonna need you to do something for us,

like, as soon as humanly possible!

The pump's gonna heat up like crazy and explode,

so hurry up and dump some water on it!

You can count on me! [grunting]

Hey, we almost done yet? Surely there's not much longer.

Just lemme think. Based on its total capacity,

I'd say we have about five hours.

Or maybe twice that.

[Gen] I knew it! [cries]

10 HOURS LATER

[explosion]

[grunts]

[exclaims]

[Soyuz] Whoa! The air pump exploded into pieces!

[Suika cries] This is terrible!

No, it's perfect.

Now we just need one more of 'em.

OXYGEN TANKS ACQUIRED!!

[Soyuz] Oh, wow. We're really breathing underwater.

Quick question, Senku. How long will those tanks last?

Depends on how deep they go. If I had to guess, ten minutes?

-[Suika and Gen gasp] -[Gen] That's all?

[Gen groans]

Ten hours of pumping for ten minutes of air?

[Suika] And all of our pumpy things went boom.

They're the only oxygen tanks we'll have.

And we're on a ten-minute time limit.

We gotta find Kaseki down there and save him

before the air runs out.

[Ryusui] Ten minutes isn't long enough.

Where do we even look?

[Soyuz] The enemy dropped the statues from the surface

with this much force in that direction.

[Ryusui] I'm in awe of your attention to detail.

It's pretty mind blowing.

You know, now that I think of it,

having memories from your infancy is no ordinary feat, either.

Thank you. That information is invaluable!

He can pull it off.

Ryusui's gonna be able to find all of 'em.

When it comes to ocean stuff, he's the absolute best!

[Ryusui gasps]

[Ryusui] I see.

[Ryusui straining]

We're dealing with a reef current.

A powerful rip current that occurs at the edges of a reef.

It's likely all the pieces were caught up in it

and sent to the open water.

Ha-ha!

There you are!

Trusty sailors of the science vessel Perseus!

Well done staying at your posts through all this darkness!

You deserve a bonus, a massive drago reward!

[Soyuz gasps]

[Suika gasps] There's three jellyfish!

1 JELLYFISH: FOUND A FEW PEOPLE 2 JELLYFISH: FOUND JUST KASEKI

3 JELLYFISH: FOUND EVERYONE

That means they've found everyone!

I'm so happy!

We're gonna bring all of our friends back to life!

Yeah, it's great news,

but remember, we have to prioritize who.

If we don't wake up ol' Kaseki first, we'll be totally screwed.

Since these are our only two oxygen tanks,

we've got one shot at this rescue dive.

[Ryusui] Ha-ha!

All right, Kaseki. I want you!

[Ryusui grunting]

[both straining]

[Ryusui groans]

[both grunting]

[both panting]

[Ryusui] He's completely stuck!

[Soyuz] Yeah. He won't budge at all.

I'm getting orried-way.

Shouldn't we be getting the signal to pull them up about now?

Are they okay down there?

[Senku] How much air is left?

The average male breathes 15 liters per minute.

But for what they're doing, I'd say they're breathing around 20.

Those tanks hold ten at a starting pressure of 70.

The question is their depth. Judging from where the jellyfish surfaced

and the behavior of the rope, they're roughly 20 meters down.

[gasps]

[Ryusui] We've only got four minutes of oxygen left.

[Soyuz] We're not going to make it.

He's really stuck! It'll take hours to dig him out.

[Ryusui] But without Kaseki,

we can't make any more oxygen tanks.

Which means no more dives.

This is the only chance we've got!

We must bring him back to the surface!

When your own strength isn't enough,

you have to rely on the strength of your crew.

Every good leader knows that! Am I wrong?

Ah! They gave us the signal!

Yeah. But isn't there something strange about the way they're tugging the rope?

I think it may be some kind of message.

It goes like, "tuuug, tuuug, tug, tug."

Ah! Morse code.

Dash, dash, dot, dot. Is that a Z?

Do they not realize how long it's gonna take them

to send a message over the lifeline?

Don't worry. I don't think it'll be all that long.

'Cause friends like us can speak with more than words.

We'd just let Ryusui know that we don't have much time.

He must be telling us there's something they need.

He knows we're in a hurry, so he won't spell out a sentence.

Just a word.

But there are only a few words that start with Z.

Zoo. Zebra. Zipper. Zinc. None of those fit.

Which means it's Japanese Morse code.

Dash, dash, dot, dot.

"Fu."

"I need something that starts with 'fu'"!

[chuckles]

[Senku] Fluid! Revival Fluid!

[Ryusui grunts]

[Ryusui] That was quick!

[Soyuz] Oh, I see!

If we can wake up Taiju, who's got the most power,

he might be able to dislodge Kaseki's statue.

But how… You can't pour that stuff on him while you're both underwater.

It's impossible!

[Ryusui] I'll use what's left in the tank to make a pocket of air.

And then I'll be able to spray the Revival Fluid on him from below.

[Soyuz] He decided to give up the last bit of oxygen he had just like that.

Without a second thought!

[Ryusui] Oh, no! He's missing part of his arm.

If we revive him now…

It's like he instantly knew he was looking at Taiju's arm.

Did he remember the pose he was in when we were petrified?

His mind is incredible!

[gasps, yells]

TAIJU IS REVIVED!!

I'm rip roaring' to go!

[Taiju grunts]

[Soyuz] Oof, guess we should've seen that coming.

Gotta be scary to wake up completely underwater like that.

[Ryusui] I have to brief Taiju on the current situation

and what we need him to do right now.

If I can make another bubble around us, I can tell him.

-Kaseki! We need to revive Kaseki first! -[inhales]

[Taiju] That one big breath is all I need!

You have to breathe too, you know.

We don't need to talk, anyway.

We're a team.

And that means we know what's in each other's hearts!

[Ryusui gasps]

[Taiju laughs]

[Taiju] Guess that's not very science-y of me, huh?

[Ryusui] No, you're absolutely right, Taiju.

I hear what's in your heart.

[grunts]

[all grunting]

[Suika and Gen groan]

We're getting dangerously close to that uh-oh time, aren't we?

-[all gasp] -Pull them up!

[Taiju laughs]

Yo, Kaseki.

Yo, ya big oaf.

[Suika] Seeing you guys makes me so happy!
