1. This savory bowl
of gourmet science...
Copy !req
2. is gonna buy me enough
manpower to make steel.
Copy !req
3. Foxtail millet ramen. Coming up!
Copy !req
4. I've never had anything
so chewy and amazingly yummy!
Copy !req
5. We all know Gan'en has some
experience with eating, so...
Copy !req
6. Man, that's tasty!
Copy !req
7. A steaming stew of
slippery deliciousness!
Copy !req
8. Are you the man who made all
this incredible food for us?
Copy !req
9. The one called Senku?
Copy !req
10. So, what kinda
girls do you like?
Copy !req
11. The kind that can pump a ton
of oxygen into my furnace.
Copy !req
12. What kind of answer
is that? Really!
Copy !req
13. I mean, did the concept
of polite small talk
Copy !req
14. not exist during your time?
Copy !req
15. Hey, Kinro, Ginro!
Copy !req
16. Don't pretend like you
don't wanna try it.
Copy !req
17. This ramen stuff
is insanely good!
Copy !req
18. We will not eat food
made with your sorcery!
Copy !req
19. Besides, a guard
accepting a gift
Copy !req
20. would clearly be in
violation, you know that!
Copy !req
21. Rules are rules!
Copy !req
22. Really? Then what have
you got in your hand?
Copy !req
23. I guess there's a special
exception for a golden spear?
Copy !req
24. Yeah, what gives, Kinro?
Copy !req
25. Chief, it's about your daughter.
Copy !req
26. Kohaku is handing out strange
food to the villagers.
Copy !req
27. Say what?
Copy !req
28. Shall we go?
Copy !req
29. Why would we?
Copy !req
30. To try it.
Copy !req
31. You believe I would do that?
Copy !req
32. Kohaku, what are you
and that outsider really up to?
Copy !req
33. Here you go!
Copy !req
34. I've totally lost track of
who I've served already!
Copy !req
35. They're really eating it up.
Everyone's coming to get some.
Copy !req
36. Heh. They can have
all they want.
Copy !req
37. But they'll find out very soon
that the more ramen they eat,
Copy !req
38. the harder I'm gonna work 'em!
Copy !req
39. You really do make the
creepiest faces sometimes.
Copy !req
40. Ah. This ramen is making
me wickedly thirsty.
Copy !req
41. A cola would be great.
Copy !req
42. Cola?
Copy !req
43. Senku. You happen
to know that guy?
Copy !req
44. No, I don't.
Copy !req
45. Hey, just eat it
before it gets all mushy.
Copy !req
46. Kinro. Ginro. I need
you to stop squabbling.
Copy !req
47. How come? Is there a—?
Copy !req
48. I'll get right to the point.
Copy !req
49. There's trouble.
Copy !req
50. Better answer truthfully,
or I'll slit your throat
Copy !req
51. before you know what hit you.
Copy !req
52. Are you one of the long-haired
man's underlings?
Copy !req
53. Well, while I admittedly
don't mind the attention
Copy !req
54. of a cute little thing like you,
Copy !req
55. I believe you must've mistaken
me for somebody else.
Copy !req
56. I've not yet met
any "long-haired man."
Copy !req
57. I've been wandering
all on my lonesome
Copy !req
58. since breaking out of the stone.
Copy !req
59. I thought that you looked
strangely familiar somehow.
Copy !req
60. You're Asagiri Gen, right?
Copy !req
61. So you do know him!
Copy !req
62. No. Never met him in my life.
Copy !req
63. He's a trashy magician
who wrote psychology books.
Copy !req
64. Read my work, have you?
How wonderful.
Copy !req
65. But that "trashy magician"
barb was cruel.
Copy !req
66. Please, call me a "mentalist."
Copy !req
67. Look, I apologize for taking
the ramen without asking.
Copy !req
68. So please, will you be kind
and lower your weapons?
Copy !req
69. My arms and legs are
trembling in fear,
Copy !req
70. and I'm worried I may spill
this heavenly bowl.
Copy !req
71. I got it! I don't mind
holding it for you!
Copy !req
72. He's full of crap.
Copy !req
73. I was all by myself and
searching for something to eat,
Copy !req
74. then my nose was
filled with nostalgia.
Copy !req
75. The scent of ramen.
Copy !req
76. I've seen scared guys
before, and he's not one.
Copy !req
77. And every word outta his
mouth is like feathery fluff.
Copy !req
78. having an extremely
difficult time adapting.
Copy !req
79. Yeah, sure, I'll take
your word for it, man.
Copy !req
80. But still, there's no such
thing as a free lunch.
Copy !req
81. You and everybody else
who ate the ramen
Copy !req
82. have got some work to do.
Copy !req
83. We've upgraded the
blowing capability!
Copy !req
84. Iron furnace: Level two!
Copy !req
85. We're gonna have to take turns,
but I think it'll work!
Copy !req
86. Question for ya, Gen.
Copy !req
87. How are Taiju and Yuzuriha
doing these days?
Copy !req
88. Uhh...
Copy !req
89. Oh, so that's your game, yeah?
Copy !req
90. Work me into a state
of exhaustion
Copy !req
91. and fool me into fessing up?
Copy !req
92. You've got guts,
Copy !req
93. trying to pull a trick like that
on a renowned mentalist.
Copy !req
94. There's no need
for you to worry.
Copy !req
95. Taiju's strength is
seemingly without end.
Copy !req
96. But you know that, right, Senku?
Copy !req
97. He's definitely
with that long-haired man!
Copy !req
98. Should I kill him?
Copy !req
99. Wait, you fool.
Copy !req
100. Okay, Gen.
Copy !req
101. You ten billion percent knew
I was trying to make you talk,
Copy !req
102. so why'd you
suddenly let it slip
Copy !req
103. that you're working
with Tsukasa?
Copy !req
104. Well, because once
I saw all of this,
Copy !req
105. the tides turned, as they say.
Copy !req
106. I have a simple task.
Copy !req
107. That is to confirm your
death beyond any doubt.
Copy !req
108. "Tsukasa, Senku
is still alive."
Copy !req
109. One little phrase, and your
fate would be sealed.
Copy !req
110. That was my initial plan.
Copy !req
111. But if you're able to finish
forging weapons made of iron,
Copy !req
112. there's no telling
who'd come out on top.
Copy !req
113. Whoa!
Copy !req
114. Wow!
Copy !req
115. "All I found was a
tiny primitive village.
Copy !req
116. Seems Senku is no more."
Copy !req
117. One fraudulent report
would spare your life.
Copy !req
118. Does that sound good to you?
Copy !req
119. Actually, it's music to my ears,
Copy !req
120. and I'd really appreciate
you doing that.
Copy !req
121. Don't go thinking I've
got some "moral compass."
Copy !req
122. I'm unbelievably shallow.
Copy !req
123. Give me a life
surrounded by hot girls
Copy !req
124. and I'm happy as a clam.
Copy !req
125. I couldn't care less if you
and that primate Tsukasa
Copy !req
126. live or die.
Copy !req
127. I'll be on the winning side,
no matter what I have to do.
Copy !req
128. What benefits me most?
Copy !req
129. Is it aligning with your
fledgling Kingdom of Science,
Copy !req
130. or perhaps Tsukasa's
Empire of Strength?
Copy !req
131. That is truly the
extent of my concern.
Copy !req
132. On one hand,
Copy !req
133. there's the scientific creations
and ramen and all that.
Copy !req
134. But hellish, back-breaking
work is just not my style.
Copy !req
135. On the other hand, Tsukasa's
settlement lacks science
Copy !req
136. and the food is rather plain.
Copy !req
137. But my work is easy.
Copy !req
138. And if I revive
a few hot celebs,
Copy !req
139. I could have the
harem of my dreams.
Copy !req
140. A harem? What's that?
Copy !req
141. I'm sorry. All I can say is
that it's not for children.
Copy !req
142. Well, whatever it is,
ramen is probably way better!
Copy !req
143. Yeah. Ramen's nice, but
on a balmy day like this,
Copy !req
144. I think I'd rather side with
Tsukasa and what he can provide.
Copy !req
145. Asagiri Gen, was it?
Copy !req
146. I think the only two options for
a snake in the grass like you
Copy !req
147. are either locked up
or put in the ground!
Copy !req
148. Scary!
Copy !req
149. No.
Copy !req
150. If he doesn't go back
and give his report,
Copy !req
151. Tsukasa will come
looking for him
Copy !req
152. and we'll all be screwed.
Copy !req
153. So relax, would you?
I've got a plan for this iron.
Copy !req
154. And once you feast your eyes on
what we're gonna make with it,
Copy !req
155. there's a ten billion percent
chance you'll choose
Copy !req
156. to join our Kingdom of Science.
Copy !req
157. Oh? What's that? Think you
can sway me with a sword?
Copy !req
158. How 'bout a generator?
Copy !req
159. A generator? Are you
freakin' kidding me?
Copy !req
160. No way you could pull that off!
Copy !req
161. Nice, you have native copper.
Copy !req
162. Hey, that stuff's
way too pretty to destroy.
Copy !req
163. We'll melt it to make wire.
Copy !req
164. Damnit,
you're not even listening.
Copy !req
165. Now then, if only we
could get some lightning.
Copy !req
166. It's lightning,
the rage of the heavens!
Copy !req
167. If it hits you, you're dead!
Copy !req
168. Make sure the women
and children are safe!
Copy !req
169. Move! Quickly!
Copy !req
170. Looks like we're getting
our lightning.
Copy !req
171. Ha! It is the rainy
season, after all.
Copy !req
172. Ah! Can you believe
how lucky we are?
Copy !req
173. This isn't luck, it's
the worst-case scenario!
Copy !req
174. We are in no way prepared
to utilize this right now!
Copy !req
175. The generator will
run on lightning?
Copy !req
176. That's ridiculous.
Copy !req
177. Yes, of course.
Copy !req
178. Magnets. I can make a
generator if I have magnets.
Copy !req
179. But we have the ones
we used to collect the sand.
Copy !req
180. The natural ones are way
too weak for what we need.
Copy !req
181. We'll catch lightning
with an iron rod,
Copy !req
182. and make a crazy-strong magnet
using the power of science!
Copy !req
183. I was gonna put up a bunch of
rods, as many as possible,
Copy !req
184. but we can't pass
up this opportunity.
Copy !req
185. We'll just have to run
with what we've got!
Copy !req
186. Heh. Pardon the pun, but we
gotta move fast as lightning!
Copy !req
187. Melt the copper!
Copy !req
188. There's lacquer coating
Kohaku's shield;
Copy !req
189. we could really use
some of that!
Copy !req
190. I got a whole
jar of it right here!
Copy !req
191. Lacquer is a ridiculously
effective insulator.
Copy !req
192. Use it to coat the iron rod.
Copy !req
193. I'm confused.
Copy !req
194. Uh. I don't think you
should be doing that!
Copy !req
195. I've carved a channel in it!
Copy !req
196. Pour the melted
copper into the channel.
Copy !req
197. And after it solidifies,
Copy !req
198. wrap it up real tight
around the iron bar.
Copy !req
199. Hey, everybody, listen up!
Copy !req
200. The foreigner and his friends
Copy !req
201. have started destroying
the bridge!
Copy !req
202. Heh. So he's finally showing us
his true, evil colors, huh?
Copy !req
203. That's probably why the
gods are so angry with us.
Copy !req
204. They don't like that sorcery.
Copy !req
205. Ah, yeah!
Copy !req
206. All right. Time for them to die.
Copy !req
207. This is bad! It's Magma!
Copy !req
208. He's not the kinda
guy who talks things over.
Copy !req
209. We're gonna have to fight!
Copy !req
210. If we go to war with the village
right now, it's game over!
Copy !req
211. I need to think fast!
Copy !req
212. Now this won't do.
Copy !req
213. I simply can't let myself get
killed because of you lot.
Copy !req
214. Fetch me some flowers, Suika.
Copy !req
215. Huh?
Copy !req
216. Instead of war, flowers.
Copy !req
217. Hm?
Copy !req
218. Ha!
Copy !req
219. What in the hell is this
guy holdin' flowers for?
Copy !req
220. Doesn't he know we're
lookin' for a fight?
Copy !req
221. Yeah!
Copy !req
222. Were you the one that made
the gods so angry? Heh.
Copy !req
223. Stepping up to me like this
takes more balls than brains.
Copy !req
224. Oh, no, I'm sorry.
I'm afraid you're mistaken.
Copy !req
225. We're trying to use our sorcery
Copy !req
226. to stop this onslaught
of terror from above.
Copy !req
227. Quit talkin' outta your ass.
I don't wanna hear—
Copy !req
228. Allow me to show you.
Copy !req
229. They disappeared!
Did you see that?
Copy !req
230. Wait a second.
Copy !req
231. So they really can't
see the flowers?
Copy !req
232. It's a trick
that I believe is called
Copy !req
233. the back palm.
Copy !req
234. Magicians do it all the
time with cards and stuff.
Copy !req
235. Hmph.
Copy !req
236. Not too shabby for
a complete fraud.
Copy !req
237. Heh.
Copy !req
238. It may sound nuts,
but it's doable.
Copy !req
239. There was a guy at NASA
called Wasilewski
Copy !req
240. who ran successful
experiments using lightning
Copy !req
241. to make powerful magnets.
Copy !req
242. Wasilewski!
Copy !req
243. I just so happened to
find this bad boy
Copy !req
244. on top of that bald
mountain one day!
Copy !req
245. Well, Chrome,
Copy !req
246. I'd say that your ten
years of exploration
Copy !req
247. are really paying off now.
Copy !req
248. Oh, yeah. Pretty bad, right?
Copy !req
249. We're at the top of
the bald mountain!
Copy !req
250. Perfect spot to catch lightning.
Copy !req
251. We couldn't ask for
a better place!
Copy !req
252. Set up the lightning
rod, quickly!
Copy !req
253. You see that?
Copy !req
254. I think they wanna make
a tower, should we—?
Copy !req
255. No way! You're just after a
silver spear, aren't you?
Copy !req
256. We came here to keep an eye
on them. Rules are rules, okay?
Copy !req
257. The lightning's close now.
Copy !req
258. Crap. There isn't enough time
to build real scaffolding.
Copy !req
259. Even so, we have to
get as high as we can.
Copy !req
260. If only there were
something long
Copy !req
261. that we could stick
into the ground.
Copy !req
262. Uh?
Copy !req
263. No! Not happening!
This is my spear!
Copy !req
264. Guess you like it more
than you let on.
Copy !req
265. My spear!
Copy !req
266. Well, take a look at that.
The lightning god descends.
Copy !req
267. This is crazy, Senku.
Copy !req
268. Starting with nothing
in this barren Stone World.
Copy !req
269. You actually pulled it off.
Copy !req
270. Electricity is in play.
Copy !req
271. Get excited, people.
Copy !req
272. Woohoo! We scored a
magnet for our generator!
Copy !req
273. Oh, no. Was your
golden spear destroyed?
Copy !req
274. I hope you can
forgive me, Kinro.
Copy !req
275. But it was kind of an emergency.
Copy !req
276. I'm sure Senku will make you
another one if you ask him.
Copy !req
277. Hey, Kinro! Where did that
special spear of yours go?
Copy !req
278. Gone forever, huh?
Copy !req
279. And you were so
protective of it, too.
Copy !req
280. I mean, you never even
let me borrow it once,
Copy !req
281. and yet here we are;
it's a real shame.
Copy !req
282. Uhh...
Copy !req
283. Senku, I think we may have
failed to create magnets.
Copy !req
284. They won't get anywhere
near each other.
Copy !req
285. Some force is
driving them apart!
Copy !req
286. Just switch one of their poles.
Copy !req
287. Wow! They're so strong!
Copy !req
288. We can make it now, can't we?
Copy !req
289. That crazy-bad thing
you call electricity?
Copy !req
290. I'm curious, Senku. Are you
creating a thermal generator?
Copy !req
291. Or a wind turbine?
Copy !req
292. I don't suppose you're
going nuclear yet.
Copy !req
293. It'll be muscle powered.
Copy !req
294. I should've expected as much.
Copy !req
295. We'll hammer the
copper to stretch it,
Copy !req
296. cut it into a disk,
and grind it down.
Copy !req
297. Yo! Let's try and grind this
disk down with corundum.
Copy !req
298. It's one of the
baddest rocks I've got!
Copy !req
299. The second-strongest
mineral after diamond.
Copy !req
300. I really admire your
collection, Chrome.
Copy !req
301. I'd thought we'd coat the copper
wire with phosphoric acid,
Copy !req
302. but this lacquer
oughtta work just fine.
Copy !req
303. I've been racking my brain
Copy !req
304. trying to come up with
the perfect quip,
Copy !req
305. but I think I should just ask.
Copy !req
306. What?
Copy !req
307. Why do you look like
a human marshmallow?
Copy !req
308. Lacquer poisoning.
Copy !req
309. Ah, yeah!
Copy !req
310. The Kingdom of Science advances.
Copy !req
311. Our dual-wield
hand crank generator
Copy !req
312. is now complete.
Copy !req
313. So do we need to spin
them both in unison?
Copy !req
314. That seems pretty challenging.
Copy !req
315. Not if two of us work together!
Copy !req
316. If they get outta sync,
it'll break down.
Copy !req
317. The timing has to be perfect.
Copy !req
318. Ugh. This has to be done right.
Copy !req
319. If only we knew a pair
Copy !req
320. who were perfectly
coordinated and energetic.
Copy !req
321. So you came back again.
What do you want this time?
Copy !req
322. C'mon!
Copy !req
323. I'll let you guys check out
our badass science machine!
Copy !req
324. Not interested.
Copy !req
325. You've always been a
pretty stubborn guy,
Copy !req
326. but now it feels like
you're holding a grudge.
Copy !req
327. He must still be upset
Copy !req
328. that we ruined the golden
spear I made for him.
Copy !req
329. Huh?
Copy !req
330. What now?
Copy !req
331. Wow, electricity
sure is amazing!
Copy !req
332. Thanks, sorcery!
Copy !req
333. In our technological
civilization,
Copy !req
334. electricity lets us have
all sorts of nice things!
Copy !req
335. With our new generator,
Copy !req
336. we might even be able
to create and repair
Copy !req
337. gold- and silver-tipped spears.
Copy !req
338. Isn't that right, Senku?
Copy !req
339. Electrocoating is
pretty damn difficult.
Copy !req
340. Do you actually
know how to do it?
Copy !req
341. I don't have the faintest idea.
Copy !req
342. I was right about you.
Copy !req
343. Every word out of your mouth
really is just feathery fluff.
Copy !req
344. They're a great team.
Perfectly in sync.
Copy !req
345. Kinro and Ginro are mine now.
Copy !req
346. The Kingdom of Science is
building up a solid workforce.
Copy !req
347. But are they actually
generating electricity?
Copy !req
348. It's a
steam-roasted bamboo fiber.
Copy !req
349. Uh.
Copy !req
350. Does it need to be that high up?
Copy !req
351. Not really. But I
figure we might as well.
Copy !req
352. I see now.
Copy !req
353. He's using that bamboo fiber
to create an Edison light bulb.
Copy !req
354. I've never heard of
a bulb of light.
Copy !req
355. Chrome, does the
night scare you?
Copy !req
356. Well, yeah, because
everything gets dark.
Copy !req
357. Why do you ask?
Copy !req
358. Back in my day,
there was no darkness.
Copy !req
359. With old man Edison's
incandescent light bulb,
Copy !req
360. humanity beat back the night.
Copy !req
361. Conquering all
24 hours of the day.
Copy !req
362. Through the power of science,
mankind defeated the darkness.
Copy !req
363. And now we're gonna do it again.
Copy !req
364. For the first time
in 3,700 years,
Copy !req
365. the flame of science will burn.
Copy !req
