1. Yuzuriha!
Copy !req
2. Sorry to keep you waiting.
Copy !req
3. So, what's up, Taiju-kun?
Copy !req
4. What did you want to tell me?
Copy !req
5. I was afraid that by telling her how I feel,
she wouldn't even be my friend anymore.
Copy !req
6. Hear me out, Yuzuriha.
Copy !req
7. But today's the day.
Copy !req
8. For the past five years, I've...
Copy !req
9. What's that light?
Copy !req
10. That day, everyone in the
world turned to stone.
Copy !req
11. So you're finally awake, you big oaf.
Copy !req
12. Today is October 5th, 5738.
Copy !req
13. It's been a good 3,700 years.
Copy !req
14. How can you tell exactly what day it is?
Copy !req
15. I just counted.
Copy !req
16. How else would I know?
Copy !req
17. Humanity spent two million years getting
from the stone age to the modern age.
Copy !req
18. We're going to sprint all
the way back to the top.
Copy !req
19. I'm going to take the world back.
Copy !req
20. And I'll figure out the science behind
the petrification and our revival.
Copy !req
21. I'm going to save Yuzuriha.
Copy !req
22. I'm going to beat fantasy with science.
Copy !req
23. This is exhilarating.
Copy !req
24. So, Senku, who are we reviving first?
Copy !req
25. We're going to wake up everyone eventually.
Copy !req
26. What does it matter who we start with?
Copy !req
27. Although it would suck if we woke
up a murderer right off the bat.
Copy !req
28. I see.
Copy !req
29. I don't feel like choosing who we wake up.
Copy !req
30. Taiju, it's your choice.
Copy !req
31. Thanks, Senku.
Copy !req
32. My answer is obvious.
Copy !req
33. The time has finally come.
Copy !req
34. That water's going to undo the
petrification and revive her, right?
Copy !req
35. Yeah, it should.
Copy !req
36. I tried it on a piece of a shattered statue,
and it turned back into a corpse.
Copy !req
37. You're so disrespectful!
Copy !req
38. I did try putting all the
pieces back together first,
Copy !req
39. but it looks like you can't save
someone once they're dead.
Copy !req
40. They made a noble sacrifice.
Copy !req
41. Send up a prayer or something.
Copy !req
42. Right!
Copy !req
43. Rest in peace, rest in peace...
Rest in peace, rest in peace...
Copy !req
44. Sorry I kept you waiting
for 3,700 years, Yuzuriha.
Copy !req
45. I'm going to bring you back to life now.
Copy !req
46. Wait, Senku! Yuzuriha's naked!
Copy !req
47. We can't!
Copy !req
48. We can't revive her like this!
Copy !req
49. Here we go again with
your illogical nonsense...
Copy !req
50. We're in a stone world.
It's kind of an emergency.
Copy !req
51. No one's going to care
if your butt's showing
Copy !req
52. or if your dick's hanging out.
Copy !req
53. Yuzuriha doesn't have a dick!
Copy !req
54. That's not my point!
Copy !req
55. We have to take her back to camp
and put clothes on her first.
Copy !req
56. How heavy is that statue, anyway?
Copy !req
57. Yuzuriha isn't fat!
Copy !req
58. That's not my point.
Copy !req
59. I mean, wouldn't it be ten billion times
quicker to wake her up and have her walk?
Copy !req
60. How illogical can you—
Copy !req
61. Wait, big oaf!
Copy !req
62. Why is there a lion in Japan?
Copy !req
63. Why do you think?
Copy !req
64. It's from a zoo, obviously!
Copy !req
65. The staff must've been petrified while
the door was open or something!
Copy !req
66. If they get out when no humans are around,
every herbivore in the zoo is on the menu.
Copy !req
67. And if they go out into the city,
it's a pet buffet!
Copy !req
68. So now they're literally the king of beasts!
Copy !req
69. In this stone world, the humans aren't
at the top of the food chain anymore!
Copy !req
70. Why aren't they attacking us, though?
Copy !req
71. They've never seen bipedals before.
We must look creepy as hell to them.
Copy !req
72. We're the only humans in the world.
Copy !req
73. They're alarmed, too.
Copy !req
74. But it's only a matter of time now.
Copy !req
75. Even if we get super lucky and
make it all the way back to camp,
Copy !req
76. the best we can do is
fight them with spears.
Copy !req
77. This game was practically
over before it even started!
Copy !req
78. I can't let you die, Senku!
Copy !req
79. You're humanity's last bastion,
the only one with scientific knowledge.
Copy !req
80. If it comes down to it, I'll be your shield!
Copy !req
81. No!
Copy !req
82. Think it over logically!
Copy !req
83. I'm the brains, and you're the brawn.
Copy !req
84. We can't lose either one!
Copy !req
85. If we're going to run,
we need to run together!
Copy !req
86. All right, got it!
Copy !req
87. You've never even hit anyone,
ever since you were little.
Copy !req
88. Your strong suit is fitness, not fighting.
Copy !req
89. Senku, if we can't outrun them,
we have one last option...
Copy !req
90. I found him earlier...
Copy !req
91. The strongest primate
high-schooler, Shishio Tsukasa.
Copy !req
92. Sorry, Yuzuriha.
Copy !req
93. We need someone who can fight right now.
Copy !req
94. If we do defeat the lions, I promise we'll—
Copy !req
95. Shut up already. Let's just pour it on him.
Copy !req
96. No! We're surrounded!
Copy !req
97. They're coming!
Copy !req
98. Sorry!
Copy !req
99. I'm sure you have no idea what's going on
after being stuck for thousands of years...
Copy !req
100. What's the situation?
Copy !req
101. Your whole body is covered in stone.
Copy !req
102. Lions from your nine o'clock to two o'clock.
Copy !req
103. Okay.
Copy !req
104. You can fill me in on the
details of the situation later.
Copy !req
105. But I'll promise you one thing:
you two will never be in danger again.
Copy !req
106. From now on, I'll do the fighting.
Copy !req
107. This is great, Senku!
Copy !req
108. Humanity now has brains,
brawn, and brute force!
Copy !req
109. The Three Musketeers are all here!
Copy !req
110. I get that, but this Shishio
guy is way too strong.
Copy !req
111. Is that a bad thing?
Copy !req
112. Isn't it good to have
someone like him around?
Copy !req
113. What if he turns out to be an evil
bureaucrat with insatiable greed?
Copy !req
114. He's overpowered enough to beat
down a lion with his bare hands.
Copy !req
115. In a world without guns,
he's ten billion percent unstoppable.
Copy !req
116. Eek!
Copy !req
117. Come hither, Yuzuriha.
Copy !req
118. No way!
Copy !req
119. We can't let that happen!
Copy !req
120. Sorry, but would you mind lending
me some butchering tools?
Copy !req
121. A knife, or even just stone
tools, if that's all we have.
Copy !req
122. You're gonna eat the lion?
Copy !req
123. You can eat lion?
Copy !req
124. It's not poisonous.
Copy !req
125. Although it is tough and reeks of ammonia,
not to mention it tastes horrible.
Copy !req
126. You've had it before, Senku?
Copy !req
127. When I went to Africa to research Ebola.
Copy !req
128. What kind of high schooler are you?
Copy !req
129. Though it was in self-defense,
I did kill it with my own hands.
Copy !req
130. Yes...
Copy !req
131. I want to give thanks to the circle
of life by putting all of it to use.
Copy !req
132. That's all.
Copy !req
133. He's great!
Copy !req
134. Aren't you glad, Senku?
Copy !req
135. He's no evil bureaucrat!
Copy !req
136. He's a super good guy!
Copy !req
137. I hope so.
Copy !req
138. Well, I don't have even a millimeter
of interest in stuff like gratitude,
Copy !req
139. but I absolutely agree with not wasting meat.
Copy !req
140. The two of you built this?
Copy !req
141. Yeah.
Copy !req
142. Hang on for a little longer, Yuzuriha.
Copy !req
143. We'll save you as soon as we have
enough of that miracle water...
Copy !req
144. the something-or-other acid.
Copy !req
145. Laboratory
Copy !req
146. Laboratory?
Copy !req
147. I'm Shishio Tsukasa.
Copy !req
148. You can call me Tsukasa.
Copy !req
149. Last names don't really mean
much in this world, do they?
Copy !req
150. I'm Senku, the sane one
who's in charge of science.
Copy !req
151. That's Taiju, the simple one
who's in charge of heavy lifting.
Copy !req
152. I'm Taiju, the simple one.
Copy !req
153. Nice to meet you.
Copy !req
154. If you need any thinking done, ask Senku.
Copy !req
155. What do you usually have to eat?
Copy !req
156. Mainly wild greens and mushrooms,
Copy !req
157. and the occasional rabbit for meat,
when we can catch one.
Copy !req
158. All I ever dream about lately is eating
meat until my belly's about to explode!
Copy !req
159. Well, you won't be living like that...
Copy !req
160. any longer.
Copy !req
161. I'll be in charge of fighting and hunting.
Copy !req
162. This is awesome!
Copy !req
163. Now that I'm on your side, you'll never
have any shortage of prey again.
Copy !req
164. I see.
Copy !req
165. So if you cook it immediately, you don't
need a fridge to keep it from going bad.
Copy !req
166. I'm not cooking it.
Copy !req
167. I'm using the aldehydes in the
smoke to kill the microbes.
Copy !req
168. To put it simply enough for you
to understand, I'm smoking it.
Copy !req
169. If Senku and I work together,
we'll have plenty of preserved food.
Copy !req
170. Now we can finally take the
first step toward civilization.
Copy !req
171. We were still at step zero?
Copy !req
172. Hey, Tsukasa, what's wrong?
Copy !req
173. Sorry for startling you.
Copy !req
174. This person was buried under the rock.
Copy !req
175. He really is a good guy!
Copy !req
176. He's a superhero at this point, huh?
Copy !req
177. Man, I'm full.
Copy !req
178. Time for a fun quiz.
Copy !req
179. What's the most important thing we
need for a technological civilization?
Copy !req
180. Ten billion points for the correct answer.
Copy !req
181. Technological civilization?
Copy !req
182. The most important thing we need?
Copy !req
183. Smartphones!
Copy !req
184. Sure, smartphones!
Copy !req
185. Smartphones would be nice to have, huh?
Copy !req
186. How many tens of billions
of years ahead are you?
Copy !req
187. Steel?
Copy !req
188. Steel, too, but that's later.
Copy !req
189. There's something more useful.
Copy !req
190. Calcium carbonate.
Copy !req
191. Of course!
Copy !req
192. As always, I'm totally clueless!
Copy !req
193. Ah, you mean lime.
Copy !req
194. Yeah.
Copy !req
195. That's putting it in terms that
a simple mind can understand.
Copy !req
196. The stuff they use to chalk athletic fields.
Copy !req
197. So we're going to be looking
for a gym storage room
Copy !req
198. to get something-or-other carbonate?
Copy !req
199. Yeah, that's it. A gym storage room.
Copy !req
200. If only there were any still
around 3,700 years later!
Copy !req
201. You know the shells that have been so
useful for trimming your beard, big oaf?
Copy !req
202. Pulverize them into powder, and you have
that something-or-other carbonate stuff.
Copy !req
203. All right!
Copy !req
204. Brawn duty, here I come!
Copy !req
205. Nothing's as exhilarating
as calcium carbonate.
Copy !req
206. There are four insanely
useful ways to use it.
Copy !req
207. First, agriculture.
Copy !req
208. We use it to blow away all the hydrogen ions.
Copy !req
209. In other words, it upgrades the soil.
Copy !req
210. Second, construction.
Copy !req
211. Cook it together with sand,
and you have mortar.
Copy !req
212. Mortar is basic cement.
Copy !req
213. We can build huge furnaces and houses.
Copy !req
214. Third, soap.
Copy !req
215. Gather sodium carbonate from seaweed,
Copy !req
216. mix it with oil, and the reaction creates soap.
Copy !req
217. Getting sick means game over in this world.
Copy !req
218. This little chunk that keeps germs off of us
Copy !req
219. is our stone of life in a world with no doctors.
Copy !req
220. It's our doctor stone.
Copy !req
221. Senku, you're an amazing man.
Copy !req
222. In the moment after I revived, too,
Copy !req
223. you communicated the situation
quickly and calmly.
Copy !req
224. I've never seen anyone as clever as you.
Copy !req
225. I admire you, truly.
Copy !req
226. A man who praises a man to his
face is full of ulterior motives.
Copy !req
227. It's been that way for ten billion years.
Copy !req
228. What's your point?
Copy !req
229. Oh, dear.
Copy !req
230. I really didn't mean anything by it.
Copy !req
231. I have a feeling you might be able to
build modern civilization from scratch.
Copy !req
232. Yes.
Copy !req
233. That's all I wanted to say.
Copy !req
234. Whew!
Copy !req
235. So this is how you build civilization, huh?
Copy !req
236. Yeah, one step at a time.
Copy !req
237. We're slowly but surely
approaching modern civilization.
Copy !req
238. So, what's the fourth thing?
Copy !req
239. You said there were four
handy uses for seashells.
Copy !req
240. No, three.
Copy !req
241. Didn't I say three?
Copy !req
242. Huh? Did you?
Copy !req
243. Man, even my memory is screwy!
Copy !req
244. Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells!
Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells! Shells!
Copy !req
245. We're free in this stone world.
Copy !req
246. Shells never belonged to anyone.
Copy !req
247. The same goes for the sea, and the land.
Copy !req
248. There was once a poor boy who tried to make
Copy !req
249. a necklace out of seashells for his younger
sister, who was undergoing surgery.
Copy !req
250. His sister loved The Little Mermaid.
Copy !req
251. But then, a middle-aged man who owned
the fishing rights to that spot arrived...
Copy !req
252. and with him, the stench of liquor.
Copy !req
253. The boy who was collecting
shells... or rather,
Copy !req
254. according to the man,
the boy who was stealing shells,
Copy !req
255. was beaten so badly that
his face was unrecognizable.
Copy !req
256. He was never able to help his
sister be like the Little Mermaid.
Copy !req
257. You do know what you're doing,
don't you, Tsukasa?
Copy !req
258. You just killed a man.
Copy !req
259. I know that, of course.
Copy !req
260. Senku, do you intend to bring back
everyone, including the grown-ups
Copy !req
261. whose hearts are tainted?
Copy !req
262. Sure, they'll be grateful to you at first.
Copy !req
263. But as soon as civilization returns,
the rich and powerful seniors will say,
Copy !req
264. "That used to be my land."
"Pay your rent."Pay your taxes."
Copy !req
265. They'll rob the poor youth of our future again.
Copy !req
266. We must not bring that world back.
Copy !req
267. This is a stone world.
Copy !req
268. An untainted paradise.
Copy !req
269. We'll revive only the pure-hearted youth
Copy !req
270. and live in a natural world owned by no one.
Copy !req
271. It's a chance to purify humanity.
Copy !req
272. Don't you agree, Senku?
Copy !req
273. Not at all.
Copy !req
274. Not even a millimeter.
Copy !req
275. I'm a technology-loving
boy who gets excited over
Copy !req
276. mechs and space and
Doraemon and stuff like that.
Copy !req
277. I'm going to use the power of science
to rescue every single person.
Copy !req
