1. I think it's best if I
leave the village for now.Copy !req
2. I'm an outsider, and I'm
not competing, so...Copy !req
3. I bet our Kinro would
throw a fit if I didn't.Copy !req
4. I came here to have a
little chat with you, Senku,Copy !req
5. but I'll be patient.Copy !req
6. We can discuss your
end of the dealCopy !req
7. after you've taken
over the village.Copy !req
8. Sure.Copy !req
9. [RURI
Oh, Chrome.Copy !req
10. Ruri—Priestess, I mean.Copy !req
11. You're gonna have to
marry the winner, right?Copy !req
12. Well, don't worry.
It's down to us three.Copy !req
13. And Senku and I are just
gonna throw our matches.Copy !req
14. So Chrome's already won.Copy !req
15. Don't act so surprised.
It's pretty obvious.Copy !req
16. I can tell that you've
been rooting for him.Copy !req
17. Nice job figuring
out the differenceCopy !req
18. between convex
and concave, Chrome.Copy !req
19. No.Copy !req
20. As the priestess, I am
but a servant of the gods.Copy !req
21. I cannot favor anyone.Copy !req
22. I will simply marry
whoever wins.Copy !req
23. Huh? Seriously?Copy !req
24. That's weird, I coulda
sworn you— Whoa, hang on!Copy !req
25. Are you saying you don't
care who wins at all?Copy !req
26. Uh! Well, um. Yes?Copy !req
27. Learn to read between
the lines a little, Ginro.Copy !req
28. What else is she supposed to sayCopy !req
29. when you flat out
ask her like that?Copy !req
30. Village chief Ginro!Copy !req
31. We'll now begin match
two of the semi-finals.Copy !req
32. Senku versus Ginro.
Contestants, come forward.Copy !req
33. What the hell has gotten
into you, Ginro?Copy !req
34. Whaddya mean?Copy !req
35. You heard the girl!
Ruri said she'd marry anyone!Copy !req
36. That means even I could
be the village chief!Copy !req
37. My time has come!
It's the era of Ginro!Copy !req
38. No! You've gotta be kidding me!Copy !req
39. What a scumbag!Copy !req
40. If I win and become the chief,Copy !req
41. we'll all get to eat
ramen every single day!Copy !req
42. And everyone gets a harem!Copy !req
43. Just you wait,
I'm gonna turn this placeCopy !req
44. into the village of
all of our dreams!Copy !req
45. Ugh. Please not him.Copy !req
46. Ginro... anyone but you, man.Copy !req
47. We can't let him
become the village chief.Copy !req
48. We have to take him
down as soon as possible.Copy !req
49. But how is Senku
supposed to do that?Copy !req
50. Senku...Copy !req
51. Our weapon is science,
so get in there and use it!Copy !req
52. I guess I don't have
any other options.Copy !req
53. Uh! You're gonna try to use
some crazy sorcery now?Copy !req
54. Well, not if I get you first!Copy !req
55. Ahh...Copy !req
56. He's clever, that one.Copy !req
57. Senku, was it?Copy !req
58. The winner is Senku!Copy !req
59. Ginro's down!Copy !req
60. That means
Senku's going to the finals!Copy !req
61. They're united in relief
that Ginro didn't win!Copy !req
62. Yeah.Copy !req
63. And now we can turn this village
into a Kingdom of Science.Copy !req
64. And we... can save Ruri...Copy !req
65. All right, it's the last round.Copy !req
66. So now all that's left for me
to do is throw the match.Copy !req
67. Then, Chrome, you'll marry Ruri
and become the village chief.Copy !req
68. Happily ever after.
This couldn't be more perfect.Copy !req
69. Now stop screwin'
around and get u—Copy !req
70. Okay. He is completely
conked out.Copy !req
71. Maybe the tension was
keeping him awake.Copy !req
72. But once Ruri was safe,
it all went away.Copy !req
73. Then does that mean...?Copy !req
74. What happens?Copy !req
75. So... do we get a final round?Copy !req
76. The new village chief
and husband of the priestess...Copy !req
77. is the winner of the
Grand Bout, Senku!Copy !req
78. Huh?Copy !req
79. So...Copy !req
80. What now?Copy !req
81. Well, great. This just got a
hell of a lot more annoying.Copy !req
82. So just to be clear,
if I were to marry Ruri,Copy !req
83. then this entire village
is mine, is that right?Copy !req
84. Then I guess I'll do it.Copy !req
85. Ah! They're married now?
This is happening so fast!Copy !req
86. Hold it, Senku! Where did
you even come from, huh?Copy !req
87. You're an outsider! We can't
let you become our chief!Copy !req
88. My, my. If it isn't the former
village chief himself!Copy !req
89. To tell you the truth, I don't
have a millimeter of interestCopy !req
90. in your lack of approval.Copy !req
91. Uhh... Who are
we supposed to side with?Copy !req
92. We side with Kokuyo, obviously!Copy !req
93. Do I really have to
spell it out for you?Copy !req
94. But the gods are watching,Copy !req
95. and he did technically just win.Copy !req
96. Not to mention he's marriedCopy !req
97. to the priestess now, too.Copy !req
98. Object all you want to,
a win is a win.Copy !req
99. So chop, chop!
Bring the winner his booze!Copy !req
100. Can you not?Copy !req
101. You sound like one
of those old drunkardsCopy !req
102. who can't get his fill!Copy !req
103. Hm?Copy !req
104. This pot's no good. All of
its turned into vinegar.Copy !req
105. I'll take it! We need that, too!Copy !req
106. Not again!Copy !req
107. Ruri.Copy !req
108. It's not that bad.Copy !req
109. Looks like the clock
is seriously ticking now.Copy !req
110. Heh.Copy !req
111. We literally just finished
the Grand Bout,Copy !req
112. but I guess it's
straight back to work.Copy !req
113. Let's head back and
finish the sulfa—Copy !req
114. Hang on!Copy !req
115. Where do you think you're goin'?
You're the guest of honor.Copy !req
116. Yeah, have a drink with us!Copy !req
117. To celebrate your marriage,
we're drinkin' the night away!Copy !req
118. It's tradition around here!Copy !req
119. Yeah? In that case...Copy !req
120. Huh?Copy !req
121. I want a divorce.Copy !req
122. They're divorced now?
This is happening so fast!Copy !req
123. We've scored a ton of
alcohol and vinegar!Copy !req
124. Let's haul ass, citizens of
the Kingdom of Science!Copy !req
125. Excuse me!Copy !req
126. Since when am I a citizen
of the Kingdom of Science?Copy !req
127. I'm sorry, Ruri!
I'll explain later!Copy !req
128. Huh?Copy !req
129. That guy's making
a mockery of our ways.Copy !req
130. I'm still a little confused,Copy !req
131. but I think I may
have just becomeCopy !req
132. the first divorced
priestess ever.Copy !req
133. Well? How's that, Chrome?Copy !req
134. This is utter bullshit!
Capture that man, right now!Copy !req
135. Senku is no villain.Copy !req
136. Hm?Copy !req
137. Please let him
explain for himselfCopy !req
138. what the sorcerers—
I mean, the scientists—Copy !req
139. have been working on.Copy !req
140. What they bet their lives
on for half a year.Copy !req
141. What I've seen them do.Copy !req
142. What's this?Copy !req
143. The force from the waterfall is
making the bamboo spin around.Copy !req
144. Ha-ha! And I nailed it
on my first attempt!Copy !req
145. Pretty cool, huh? Are you
charmed by my talents, ladies?Copy !req
146. Impressive.Copy !req
147. I usually botch my first few
attempts at building anything.Copy !req
148. Thank you. But I wasn't
trying to charm you.Copy !req
149. So... what does
this allow us to make?Copy !req
150. Well, I know it spins,
but what it's for, I dunno.Copy !req
151. Don't worry, you're
gonna find out tomorrow.Copy !req
152. I'll think I'll keep
an eye on it for a while.Copy !req
153. I'd cry if my baby
were destroyedCopy !req
154. by a piece of driftwood
or something.Copy !req
155. Uh?Copy !req
156. Hey, you! Want me to
stand guard by myself?Copy !req
157. A weak old man like me?Copy !req
158. You've got nothing better
to do. Stay and help!Copy !req
159. Huh? I'd really
rather not, gramps.Copy !req
160. Uh. Oh. Sure, I'll help you out.Copy !req
161. "Weak old man"?Copy !req
162. Wake up and smell
the ammonia, buddy.Copy !req
163. We're gonna need you on
team science, let's go!Copy !req
164. We don't have much time left.Copy !req
165. All we have to do is put
everything togetherCopy !req
166. and we're done.Copy !req
167. By morning tomorrow,
we'll have it.Copy !req
168. The cure-all sulfa drug.Copy !req
169. Tomorrow?Copy !req
170. That quickly?Copy !req
171. Fun with Making Sulfa Drugs.Copy !req
172. Step one.Copy !req
173. First, we're using a burnable
rock called coal to—Copy !req
174. Burnable rocks?Copy !req
175. Got it. I've got plenty
of that stuff!Copy !req
176. Uh.Copy !req
177. Yeah, I sorta figured we
must've used it all upCopy !req
178. when we made iron.Copy !req
179. That's bad!Copy !req
180. Don't worry about it.Copy !req
181. If we need more ordinary
coal like what you had,Copy !req
182. we'll just take a quick
trip up to the mountains.Copy !req
183. But for now, we don't
even need the coal itself.Copy !req
184. We need the coal tar that's
left after it's burned.Copy !req
185. Just wash it with
hydrochloric acid,Copy !req
186. then throw in ethyl acetate
made from alcohol and vinegar,Copy !req
187. and we've got aniline.Copy !req
188. Uh. Wait, wait, wait, slow down!Copy !req
189. You lost me like
five sentences ago!Copy !req
190. If that's all step one,
and we're done by tomorrow,Copy !req
191. how many total steps are there?Copy !req
192. Like three or four?Copy !req
193. Hmm... Oh, only 25, maybe?Copy !req
194. Whoa. That's bad.Copy !req
195. I still have absolutely no
idea what this thing is.Copy !req
196. Surely it wouldn't hurt to
take a quick peak inside.Copy !req
197. Is it...?Copy !req
198. Could you make one for me?Copy !req
199. Just one cola?Copy !req
200. Yeah. For sure.Copy !req
201. Nobody else can.Copy !req
202. Careful now,
don't get your hopes up.Copy !req
203. There's no way he's
that nice, right?Copy !req
204. Senku!Copy !req
205. What's this fizzy water for?Copy !req
206. Did a bomb go off in here?Copy !req
207. There's a lot of
collateral amage-day.Copy !req
208. Just what have you
gotten up to this time?Copy !req
209. Nothin' special really.
Only mixin' stuff together.Copy !req
210. Poured vinegar on burned shells,Copy !req
211. extracted glacial acetic
acid using sulfuric acid,Copy !req
212. turned it into ketene
in an iron pipe,Copy !req
213. and put it back to make
acetic anhydride.Copy !req
214. Uh. Oh. Very interesting.Copy !req
215. So I tried to drip that acetic
anhydride into the aniline,Copy !req
216. but I poured in way too much...Copy !req
217. and kaboom.Copy !req
218. I see. Hence, the wreckage.Copy !req
219. Mix the chlorosulfuric acid into
the acetanilide we just madeCopy !req
220. for para-acetamido-
benzene-sulfonyl chloride.Copy !req
221. And then, throw in ammoniaCopy !req
222. to make para-acetamido-
benzene-sulfonic acid,Copy !req
223. cook it in hydrochrolic
acid, 'nd get that.Copy !req
224. I'm genuinely impressed you can
say that without stuttering.Copy !req
225. Good job.Copy !req
226. Lastly, that carbonated water.Copy !req
227. Oh, yes, I meant to ask.Copy !req
228. I'm not expecting anything,
but is this for—?Copy !req
229. Yeah. What else would it be for?Copy !req
230. I have no earthly idea.Copy !req
231. Mix it with sodium hydroxide
to make baking soda!Copy !req
232. Baking soda. Yes,
right. That's it.Copy !req
233. That's definitely
what I was thinking.Copy !req
234. Step 25, we wash this stuffCopy !req
235. with our newly
acquired baking soda.Copy !req
236. And then we sit back and wait.Copy !req
237. This is it.Copy !req
238. It took a long,
bad half-year.Copy !req
239. It's sulfanilamide.Copy !req
240. Or you could say...
the fruits of our labor.Copy !req
241. The cure-all sulfa drug.Copy !req
242. Yeah!Copy !req
243. Yay!Copy !req
244. Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!Copy !req
245. We finally have it.Copy !req
246. And now Ruri will...Copy !req
247. Hey. Don't start with
all your crying already.Copy !req
248. Save it for when
she's actually better.Copy !req
249. Who's crying? Not me!Copy !req
250. Unfortunately, I remain
barred from the village,Copy !req
251. so I won't be able to come
and see Ruri take her medicine.Copy !req
252. Enjoy the solitude of
waiting back at the lab.Copy !req
253. Gen helped us out so much,
it's a shame he can't come.Copy !req
254. I feel bad for him.Copy !req
255. That's just the way
it is for rats like me.Copy !req
256. Mecha Senku here
to spit some facts!Copy !req
257. Carbonated water, cilantro,
lime, and honey caramelCopy !req
258. are all the ingredients
you need to make cola,Copy !req
259. if you can believe it!Copy !req
260. You should try tossing some lime
zest onto crushed cilantro.Copy !req
261. You'll be shocked at how much
it smells like good ol' cola!Copy !req
262. Woo!Copy !req
263. Hey. Don't worry, Ruri.Copy !req
264. I promise you, this is the
powder of life, born from stone.Copy !req
265. It's the cure-all of science!Copy !req
266. It'll knock that sickness
right outta you!Copy !req
267. A mystery bug
versus the culminationCopy !req
268. of two million years of
humanity's scientific endeavors.Copy !req
269. Time to get excited.Copy !req
270. All right, I finally
get to see my patient.Copy !req
271. Time to make a diagnosis.Copy !req
272. Say "eee" loud and clear.Copy !req
273. Eeeee...Copy !req
274. Sounds like a bleating goat.Copy !req
275. That's evidence that
there's fluid in her lungs.Copy !req
276. I'll just come out and ask.Copy !req
277. Why do you have that rat?Copy !req
278. Maybe we're eating it?Copy !req
279. It's incredible that's the first
thing that comes to your mind.Copy !req
280. Trust me, rats aren't exactly
a part of my diet.Copy !req
281. That's comforting to know.Copy !req
282. Usually.Copy !req
283. Ah, yes. "Usually." Great.Copy !req
284. They are a good
source of protein,Copy !req
285. but we're not here for a meal.Copy !req
286. This is an autopsy.Copy !req
287. Red inflammation
all over the lungs.Copy !req
288. So it's definitely a
bacterial infection.Copy !req
289. And even the rats
are catching it.Copy !req
290. We gotta narrow it down more.Copy !req
291. Huh?Copy !req
292. Even our cure-all
has its limits.Copy !req
293. It's not ten billion
percent guaranteedCopy !req
294. that it'll wipe out this
specific bacteria.Copy !req
295. And in the worst case scenario,Copy !req
296. if we're up against
tuberculosis,Copy !req
297. then frankly, we don't
stand a chance in hell.Copy !req
298. Quick! You guys
gotta come with me!Copy !req
299. It's Ruri! She's gotten worse!Copy !req
300. Don't get up!Copy !req
301. Just stay on your side like this
and try to breathe slowly.Copy !req
302. It's never been this bad. Never.Copy !req
303. I can't help but fear
the worst here.Copy !req
304. She had that white powder,
and now this starts happening?Copy !req
305. I knew not to trust them
and their sorcery medicine.Copy !req
306. Ruri, we're here!
—Just hang in there!Copy !req
307. Uh, Senku?Copy !req
308. Senku, you bastard!Copy !req
309. This is all because
of that drug!Copy !req
310. Father!Copy !req
311. If you didn't give her that,Copy !req
312. Ruri wouldn't have taken such
a drastic turn for the worse!Copy !req
313. Yeah. You might be right.Copy !req
314. So you admit it.Copy !req
315. The bacteria is
getting serious now.Copy !req
316. It's making allies by
spreading its toxic genesCopy !req
317. into all the harmless
bacteria around it.Copy !req
318. It's the signature move of
the pneumococcus bacteria.Copy !req
319. Which means that Ruri's
disease is... pneumonia.Copy !req
320. And that's nothing to laugh at.Copy !req
321. It's a deadly disease
with a kill countCopy !req
322. in the hundreds of millions.Copy !req
323. But... sulfa drugs absolutely
slaughter pneumococcus bacteria.Copy !req
324. Which means that we won! With
the power of humanity's science!Copy !req
325. Now that we know what it is,
we've got the upper hand.Copy !req
326. All that's left is to pump her
full of more sulfa drugs.Copy !req
327. Enough of your trickery!Copy !req
328. Father!Copy !req
329. This is nothing like
the fraudulent sorceryCopy !req
330. that you know.Copy !req
331. It's science. The culmination
of human wisdom.Copy !req
332. And I believe in it.Copy !req
333. I trust and believe
in Senku, too.Copy !req
334. That's right! So do I!Copy !req
335. Not entirely sure why,
but I kind of do, too.Copy !req
336. I gotta say, it's a miracle
that Ruri managed to live to 18.Copy !req
337. But if you stay clean
and keep warm,Copy !req
338. the disease's progression
slows significantly.Copy !req
339. Turns out that hot spring waterCopy !req
340. that Kohaku hauled in every dayCopy !req
341. ended up helping her sister
a lot more than she knew.Copy !req
342. Ruri.Copy !req
343. Ruri!Copy !req
344. I can't even remember how
many years it's beenCopy !req
345. since I've left the village
or been able to run!Copy !req
346. I know that rambunctiousness.Copy !req
347. It must've actually run
in the family all along.Copy !req
348. Everyone!Copy !req
349. As of now, this man
known as SenkuCopy !req
350. is pronounced the new chief
of Ishigami Village!Copy !req
351. Ishigami Village?Copy !req
352. That's right Senku.Copy !req
353. I know of you. I have
for a long, long time.Copy !req
354. Since I was a child.Copy !req
355. Your full name...
is Ishigami Senku.Copy !req
