1. Look there. Outside the window.
Copy !req
2. The Earth.
Copy !req
3. So dark.
Copy !req
4. I'm scared!
Copy !req
5. I can't move.
Copy !req
6. I don't feel anything.
Copy !req
7. If I'm aware enough
to realize that much,
Copy !req
8. then my brain must
still be working
Copy !req
9. at ten billion percent capacity.
Copy !req
10. Not bad.
Copy !req
11. Now start thinking.
For instance...
Copy !req
12. there should be a delay
Copy !req
13. between the average time
stamps of the last posts
Copy !req
14. on social media like
Twitter or Instagram.
Copy !req
15. Find those and
calculate backwards,
Copy !req
16. and we can learn where the
mysterious light originated.
Copy !req
17. It looks like it started
in South America,
Copy !req
18. since the petrification wave
spread out radially from there.
Copy !req
19. What a way to figure it out.
Copy !req
20. I never would've
thought of that.
Copy !req
21. I'd love to brag, but I can't
take any credit for the idea.
Copy !req
22. My son Senku told me about
using this method many times.
Copy !req
23. Now that we know that,
it's time to go.
Copy !req
24. Hang in there, Senku.
I'm gonna save you.
Copy !req
25. You and all seven billion
other humans down there.
Copy !req
26. Are you really going back?
We're in the dark!
Copy !req
27. For all we know, you might
be petrified when you land.
Copy !req
28. If you have to, then go
somewhere far from the source.
Copy !req
29. Japan's the opposite side
of Earth from South America.
Copy !req
30. If that light acts
like radiation,
Copy !req
31. you need to stay away from it.
Copy !req
32. Yeah, well, somebody
around here's
Copy !req
33. gotta be the guinea pig, right?
Copy !req
34. It's my idea, so I should
really go alone, but—
Copy !req
35. Then there wouldn't be enough
room for us all to return.
Copy !req
36. There's two pods,
three seats each,
Copy !req
37. which means three of us
need to take the plunge.
Copy !req
38. Sorry, but I guess I'll need
two more to come with me.
Copy !req
39. Or not.
Copy !req
40. Shamil! What are you—?
Copy !req
41. You'll have no ground
crew to help.
Copy !req
42. It's an unprecedented feat.
Copy !req
43. You could even be petrified
while maneuvering.
Copy !req
44. And you've got a son,
don't you, old man?
Copy !req
45. A mission like this
is meant for a loner.
Copy !req
46. Someone like me.
Copy !req
47. Eight... Nine...
Copy !req
48. Two hundred sixteen
thousand seconds.
Copy !req
49. Roughly 60 hours since
I became immobilized.
Copy !req
50. There is good
news and bad news.
Copy !req
51. The good news is,
we've landed on Earth
Copy !req
52. and we aren't petrified.
Copy !req
53. The bad news is, we severely
missed our target
Copy !req
54. and landed in the
water upside-down.
Copy !req
55. If we open the hatch,
we'll take on water and sink.
Copy !req
56. It's okay. There's precedent
for this kind of thing.
Copy !req
57. I think you've got
nine hours of air.
Copy !req
58. Yeah.
Copy !req
59. But then, that will be
the end of our lives.
Copy !req
60. Five. Six. Seven.
Copy !req
61. Count these insane numbers
and keep track of the date.
Copy !req
62. I need to know
what season it is.
Copy !req
63. In case I ever get the
chance to revive myself.
Copy !req
64. That's all I can do right now.
Copy !req
65. This is the worst-case scenario,
Copy !req
66. so I have to seize
my one chance.
Copy !req
67. We have to go down there.
We can find a boat and get them.
Copy !req
68. And where do we find the
key to start this boat?
Copy !req
69. Are we going to search thousands
of stone pockets for it?
Copy !req
70. The closest continent
is hours away!
Copy !req
71. We'll land on
the nearest island
Copy !req
72. and rescue them from there.
Copy !req
73. Even if it's uninhabited.
Copy !req
74. If we can't find a boat,
we'll make a raft.
Copy !req
75. Do you really think we can land
perfectly on some island?
Copy !req
76. We could be off
by ten kilometers!
Copy !req
77. Ten kilometers is nothing.
Copy !req
78. I can swim a distance like that.
Copy !req
79. Even fully clothed if
that's what it's gonna take.
Copy !req
80. Let's calm our breathing.
We have to conserve our oxygen.
Copy !req
81. Limit conversation, too.
Copy !req
82. Why are you singing? I just
said to calm your breathing!
Copy !req
83. I'm sorry. But I don't think
we need to worry anymore.
Copy !req
84. Just take a look for yourself.
Copy !req
85. Huh?
Copy !req
86. Sorry, guys. Didn't think
it'd take over ten hours.
Copy !req
87. You're not that young anymore.
Y'know that, old man?
Copy !req
88. Don't push yourself.
You take way too many risks.
Copy !req
89. I can see them!
Copy !req
90. Everyone's safe!
Copy !req
91. The boat was
abandoned on this island,
Copy !req
92. as far away from the source
Copy !req
93. of the petrification
wave as possible.
Copy !req
94. Which means, there might be
survivors on this island.
Copy !req
95. No. Don't tell me...
Copy !req
96. Fire's going out.
Copy !req
97. We need kindling. Why don't
we all go look for some?
Copy !req
98. Da.
Copy !req
99. Huh?
Copy !req
100. Ta-dah!
Copy !req
101. I present to you the
Soyuz survival kit.
Copy !req
102. Made for emergencies
just like this.
Copy !req
103. It looks cool.
Copy !req
104. We've been trained for
this type of situation,
Copy !req
105. so we've got a better
chance than most.
Copy !req
106. That's right! Why don't we
start by figuring out dinner?
Copy !req
107. Oh! I know where to go to
find some food, actually.
Copy !req
108. When we found that man earlier,
I saw a farm nearby.
Copy !req
109. Hey. Sounds perfect!
Copy !req
110. The team's counting
on you here, Connie.
Copy !req
111. Okay!
Copy !req
112. I'll, uh, help.
Copy !req
113. Congrats on your
marriage, Connie and Shamil!
Copy !req
114. Yeah, congrats!
Copy !req
115. You make such a cute couple.
Copy !req
116. I do appreciate the gesture,
but we don't need a fun ritual.
Copy !req
117. With the world in this state,
I'm just grateful to be alive.
Copy !req
118. Oh, lighten up a little.
Copy !req
119. With the world as it is, we need
more excuses to have fun!
Copy !req
120. There's hardly any
entertainment left.
Copy !req
121. You're forgettin'
somethin'. Music!
Copy !req
122. True!
Copy !req
123. And now for the
wedding, I'll sing!
Copy !req
124. Ah! I get to hear the diva
Lillian perform! Lucky me!
Copy !req
125. Sorry. I just feel so defeated.
Copy !req
126. The music composed
by so many geniuses
Copy !req
127. over thousands of years—
Copy !req
128. Mozart, the Beatles,
all of 'em.
Copy !req
129. It's just now hittin' me that
we're gonna lose every piece.
Copy !req
130. No, we won't.
Copy !req
131. We'll undo the
petrification someday.
Copy !req
132. Humanity isn't over.
Copy !req
133. Because, if nothing else,
Copy !req
134. I know that Senku
is still alive.
Copy !req
135. Yeah. I'm sure that he is.
Copy !req
136. He's your son, after all.
Copy !req
137. I mean, we aren't
related by blood,
Copy !req
138. but he's my kid.
Copy !req
139. And plus, he's ten billion
times the man I'll ever be.
Copy !req
140. He'd be like,
Copy !req
141. "Giving up is the least
logical course of action."
Copy !req
142. Or something.
Copy !req
143. He wouldn't let some
rocks do him in.
Copy !req
144. Maybe we won't live to see
it ourselves, but him?
Copy !req
145. He'll figure it out.
Copy !req
146. He'll save everyone. All seven
billion people on Earth.
Copy !req
147. Someday, when Senku is revived,
Copy !req
148. he's gonna need some
friends to help him.
Copy !req
149. So we'll pass along the baton,
Copy !req
150. thousands of years
into the future.
Copy !req
151. I wish I could say
that I followed that,
Copy !req
152. but it's such a crazy story
that I'm completely lost.
Copy !req
153. Right.
Copy !req
154. So a few thousand years ago,
Copy !req
155. all of humanity was
turned into stone.
Copy !req
156. You know those stone statues
we see everywhere?
Copy !req
157. Those are all people.
Copy !req
158. But Senku's dad and
five others survived
Copy !req
159. because they were up in
the sky when it happened.
Copy !req
160. And all of us here
in Ishigami Village
Copy !req
161. are actually descendants
of those six people.
Copy !req
162. Hold on. That raises
the question:
Copy !req
163. Are we all related to Senku?
Copy !req
164. Byakuya and I are legally father
and son, but not by blood.
Copy !req
165. Besides, we're hundreds
of generations apart.
Copy !req
166. No one's related
after that much time.
Copy !req
167. Hey!
Copy !req
168. Huh?
Copy !req
169. What're you doin'?
It's your big day!
Copy !req
170. Don't forget about the party!
Copy !req
171. We're still celebrating
our new village chief!
Copy !req
172. You two just want
an excuse to drink.
Copy !req
173. Why don't we join the
celebration? All of us.
Copy !req
174. Hey! Drink some more,
sorcerer boy!
Copy !req
175. I'm a scientist, thank
you very— Whoa, stop!
Copy !req
176. Ha-ha!
Copy !req
177. Any more, Chief?
Copy !req
178. I'm not the chief
anymore, remember?
Copy !req
179. Yes! My apologies!
Copy !req
180. I'm still not over Ruri
getting a divorce.
Copy !req
181. It hasn't been this lively
in quite a while, has it?
Copy !req
182. I dunno the last time
everyone had so much fun!
Copy !req
183. Yeah! You said it!
I'm having a bla—
Copy !req
184. You and I are supposed
to be guarding the bridge.
Copy !req
185. Huh?
Copy !req
186. No fair!
Copy !req
187. No, I'm fine! You don't have
to worry about this outsider!
Copy !req
188. I don't care if you're
from here or not!
Copy !req
189. Get in there and drink
your heart out, man!
Copy !req
190. Uh. Hang on.
Where'd the chief go?
Copy !req
191. I brought you
out here to tell you,
Copy !req
192. the story ends with a message.
Copy !req
193. One left by Byakuya.
Copy !req
194. I thought you should be
the only one to hear it.
Copy !req
195. Yeah, I kinda figured it would
be something along those lines.
Copy !req
196. If we go to the main islands,
we can find antibiotics.
Copy !req
197. You've taken your risks,
now we'll return the favor.
Copy !req
198. But if we don't make it back,
take care of the kids.
Copy !req
199. Come on, it's time
to head back now.
Copy !req
200. It was only pneumonia.
Copy !req
201. Damn it!
Copy !req
202. It was only pneumonia!
Copy !req
203. Well, that's new.
Copy !req
204. You look unusually glum,
you old man.
Copy !req
205. You said it yourself,
we need to be able have fun,
Copy !req
206. especially with
the world as it is.
Copy !req
207. Yeah, you got me there.
Copy !req
208. Sorry, fun's not crucial
to human survival.
Copy !req
209. In the end, I had fun.
Copy !req
210. Since humanity had
already made it to space,
Copy !req
211. we were lucky enough to survive.
Copy !req
212. And looking back on it,
Copy !req
213. I ended up with a wife and kids
that I never imagined I'd have.
Copy !req
214. Guess life wasn't so bad.
Copy !req
215. I had fun since the day we
all went to space together.
Copy !req
216. Hey, old man.
Copy !req
217. There's one thing I never
got the chance to tell you.
Copy !req
218. The day that humanity
was turned to stone...
Copy !req
219. you made me
eat that ramen, remember?
Copy !req
220. That packet of ramen
I had up in space
Copy !req
221. was so unbelievably good...
it was almost hilarious.
Copy !req
222. Yeah.
Copy !req
223. Humanity's gonna make
a comeback someday.
Copy !req
224. To the point where we're eating
ramen in space again.
Copy !req
225. I'm sure of it.
Copy !req
226. What's that? A story?
Copy !req
227. Just some essential knowledge
to help our descendants survive.
Copy !req
228. I'm making stories out
of it so it's fun.
Copy !req
229. You were a teacher. I'm not
surprised you'd think of that.
Copy !req
230. I'm having some trouble
doing it in English, though.
Copy !req
231. Then do it in Japanese.
Copy !req
232. It'd help me out—
Copy !req
233. I'd love to learn more
of your mother language.
Copy !req
234. The Hundred Tales.
Copy !req
235. Top priorities are
how to manage food
Copy !req
236. and how to avoid danger,
like wild beasts.
Copy !req
237. We'll want a story
about minerals, too.
Copy !req
238. Someone might come along
Copy !req
239. who takes an interest in
rocks and collects them.
Copy !req
240. You can do so much with them,
Copy !req
241. they'll be useful
to have around.
Copy !req
242. The first story
of the Hundred Tales.
Copy !req
243. It'll have to be one
that makes them
Copy !req
244. want to head to Japan,
where Senku is waiting.
Copy !req
245. And exactly as
Byakuya had hoped,
Copy !req
246. someone did take
an interest in rocks
Copy !req
247. and collect them
because of his stories.
Copy !req
248. That's our Chrome.
Copy !req
249. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
250. Nice to know my old man wasn't
totally useless after all.
Copy !req
251. This is the village cemetery.
Copy !req
252. And this small grave marker
was brought here
Copy !req
253. on behalf of your father
and the other founders.
Copy !req
254. They bit the
dust 3,700 years ago.
Copy !req
255. Even if they were
buried right here,
Copy !req
256. you wouldn't find a single bone.
Copy !req
257. And the last of the Hundred
Tales, the hundredth story...
Copy !req
258. is a message from me.
Copy !req
259. Hey there, Senku!
Copy !req
260. If you're listening
to this story,
Copy !req
261. it means you've broken
out of the stone,
Copy !req
262. maybe thousands
of years from now.
Copy !req
263. I'm doin' great!
Copy !req
264. I mean, I'm already dead
by now, but, you know.
Copy !req
265. Just as promised, I got
you some souvenirs.
Copy !req
266. The friends that the Hundred
Tales will connect you with.
Copy !req
267. The post-apocalyptic world
was pretty fun actually.
Copy !req
268. But with your science,
Copy !req
269. and the help of
your new friends,
Copy !req
270. I know you'll make the
world as fun as it was
Copy !req
271. before the collapse.
Copy !req
272. Because you won't
lose this fight.
Copy !req
273. You'll rebuild, from
scratch if you have to,
Copy !req
274. and save all of humanity.
Copy !req
275. Right, Senku? I know
that you can do it.
Copy !req
276. I think... I'll have
a look around before I go back.
Copy !req
277. Okay. I'll be at the
village with the others.
Copy !req
278. Yeah.
Copy !req
279. Right. So that was thousands
of years ago now, huh?
Copy !req
280. Back when I was still
alone in the dark,
Copy !req
281. just counting hundreds
of millions of seconds.
Copy !req
282. Really takes me back.
Copy !req
283. Yeah. It really does.
Copy !req
284. I'd probably be royally screwed
without your souvenirs.
Copy !req
285. Might've taken a few millenia,
but I gladly accept 'em.
Copy !req
286. Thanks for the offer, but
I'm strictly a cola man.
Copy !req
287. Never heard of it.
Copy !req
288. I wouldn't be able to talk
business if I got drunk.
Copy !req
289. And now that the
village is gathered,
Copy !req
290. I've got a message to deliver.
Copy !req
291. Yeah?
Copy !req
292. Well, let's hear it then,
mentalist. What've you got?
Copy !req
293. I can take a guess.
The Tsukasa Empire?
Copy !req
294. He's coming. And he's
bringing an army.
Copy !req
295. Sounds like we'll
finally get the chance
Copy !req
296. to show them what the Kingdom
of Science is made of.
Copy !req
297. Are you guys ready? Get excited.
Copy !req
