Dr. STONE (Dr.STONE)

Hold your fire!

It seems Dr. Taiju was a mere decoy.

The true leader of our enemy.

The OP scientist himself is...

Senku.

Senku Ishigami.

Sniper spotted!

Everyone get down!

Have I been caught?

Idiot!

Don't look this way!

They'll figure out where I am!

Actually...

Keep looking.

Their genius scientist leader.

I already figured out he's one of those three targets.

And if he's really as clever as Xeno makes him out to be...

He'll see you, Luna.

He'll notice where you're looking and turn to face me.

Just like that.

Well hello, Senku Ishigami.

Xeno, I gotta ask.

Last chance.

You want him dead?

For sure?

No take backs.

Fire.

Finish the job.

Gunfire?

They're shooting with their guns again!

We're doomed!

Calm down!

Bullets move faster than the speed of sound!

They're done firing.

One shot.

SENKU!

Job's over, boys.

I killed him.

The enemy scientist leader is dead.

You two stay here.

Watch them.

Wait!

Hold up!

What about Miss Luna?

Leave her.

Save her.

The choice is yours.

It's none of my concern.

Damn it!

Really?

Really?

Miss Luna?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

What do I do now?

They got him!

I can't believe they killed Senku!

Get a hold of yourself!

They believe that they've killed off our scientist, putting us at a bigger disadvantage.

About now, they're thinking they can ratchet up the pressure and wait around for us kids to surrender.

So while our enemy's feeling overconfident, it's time to strike back.

Am I wrong?

Yeah, guess that all makes sense.

You're not wrong, but it's too soon.

Like, we can't just spring into action.

The dude's not even cold yet.

Come on, guys!

Poor Senku at least deserves a proper burial.

Ha ha!

Don't count him out yet.

Heh, heh, heh.

I'm not dead yet, dumbass.

He's difficult to understand, but he says the bullet went clean through.

Hey!

Don't try to talk, pal!

Just let your body rest, you hear me?!

Victory!

- He almost-- - Silence, Master!

Our enemy could be listening right now!

Don't let them know!

You managed to soften the bullet's impact?

Using only a sack of flour and water?

You always dreamed up the damnedest things, my boy.

Yeah.

Though if it had been a headshot, I'd be ten billion percent dead.

But they know it's possible only I have the revival fluid recipe.

Figured they'd give me a chance to pass on the knowledge before I kicked the bucket.

I knew they'd aim for my chest, just to be safe.

That's how he survived.

By design, if it was a headshot, he would have died instantly without fail.

Who knew they spoke Deathbed?

Can't you shut up for one minute?!

That's amazing.

I can't believe he thought so far ahead.

And in a crisis, too.

Out cold?!

He's still alive, isn't he?!

I am doing everything that I can.

Although, I fear that only a doctor can save him.

Let's see.

I mean, my memory sucks, but I think...

If you squeeze the upper arm like this, the pulse at the wrist vanishes.

If a light press does it, the blood pressure's low.

If it takes a super firm press, then it's high.

Pretty sure you can get a reading like that.

His blood pressure's dropping.

Luna, are you a doctor?

No, of course not!

I mean, I'm obviously way too young!

I was... kind of...

a med student.

I'm gonna become a capable woman and score myself a smart huck-a-man!

Thing is, I was only accepted because my dad pulled some strings.

I tried my best.

I studied hard so no one could say anything, but I was way out of my league.

In the end, I was the only one who flunked out.

Luna!

I'm begging you!

You're our only hope!

Help us!

Senku... he's our friend!

Please... save him!

Damn this stupid place.

Where do we even attack from?

They'll definitely see us coming no matter what we do.

We'll be living target practice for their bows and arrows.

True, but it's not arrows I'm worried about.

Yes, we're far more likely to be taken out by their machine gun fire.

That's bad.

Kinda forgot we're going up against another kingdom of science.

I wasn't expecting such mighty reinforcements to show up!

Nice!

But how did you even track us down?

Look!

Gale left us a trail of flower petals!

They led right to you!

So that's the enemy's headquarters.

I might suggest sneaking through the cornfields after dark.

Now it's too exposed.

The water would get us closer, but there's too little cover.

Once we manage to infiltrate their fortress, I should be utterly unmatched in close quarters combat.

But we don't just need to beat them.

We also have to capture Dr. Xeno and make our escape.

Then we'll dig our way in.

I concur.

Say what now?

Seriously?

Yes.

A reverse great escape.

We'll dig ourselves a subterranean tunnel right to the enemy's base.

Shit, that's bad.

Um, are you sure?

That sounds like a whole lot of work!

Naturally, we'll have to ask Senku to help us create the necessary digging equipment that this mission requires.

Right, of course.

Speak of the devil.

A call from the Perseus.

4-3.

3-2.

3-3.

Why is Ryusui chanting random numbers?

Is this some sort of joke or what?

The Uesugi Cipher.

It was created by Uesugi Kenshin, a warlord from the Warring States era.

It's deceptively simple.

Messages are conveyed by numbers corresponding to the kana chart.

Dr. Xeno may be a proper foe, but those outside Japan aren't taught the Iroha syllabary poem.

It's a low-tech encryption compared to theirs, but effective despite its simplicity.

Although if we send long messages, they'll eventually crack it.

So then what's he trying to tell us with this weird cipher thing?

6-3.
