The first 200 lines.
Been so long since I've seen this place,
I'm practically tearing up.
Magnificent!
They've built such a beautiful little village
despite being in this primitive stone world.
The sea, the mountains, this village--I want it all!
Dude, you can't have our home. This place is ours.
So all those people down there,
they're like Chrome and Kohaku, right?
Not from the 21st century like you and I are, I mean.
Yeah.
Descendants of a lucky handful of people
who avoided the petrification-- a whole band of rare characters.
I see. They survived this long.
But if you were the one who developed
the revival fluid, how did you break out of the stone, Senku?
I don't know all of the details, but he counted a ton.
He kept the time and never lost consciousness.
Then was freed after continuous exposure to nitric acid.
Hey, hey, hey!
'Sup?
Senku, you wanna come play with us?
Sure, later.
Hey, Ryusui.
Come. We'll show you around Ishigami Village.
Senku eventually won us all over to help deal with Tsukasa,
who had a literal army on his side.
As a result, he founded the aptly named
"Kingdom of Science"!
And if I understand,
now he's trying to save this former enemy of his.
That right?
Uh-huh. And there's only one way to do that.
Senku is going to the source of the light.
The other side of the world.
He's starting with Tsukasa,
but the ultimate goal is to revive all of humanity,
if I recall.
Then there's something you guys are gonna need.
A captain to steer your ship.
So in other words,
you want my navigational help no matter the cost!
Am I wrong?
It's like I blinked and he was up there.
Okay, you had your fun!
Now quit babbling and help me patch this thing up.
Seriously, we're gonna finish the ship
by the time you guys are done talkin'.
Ah! Illiant-bray.
Despite how insanely complicated Senku's blueprints are,
the ship is slowly starting to take shape.
I can't believe we're going overseas!
I'm so excited.
South America, huh?
I always wanted to go, but never got a chance
to visit back in the 21st century.
Onwards, towards the unknown! Stay strong, everyone!
Not that I'd ever go that far from home.
Ginro, are you trying to disappoint us?
Well, whoever's coming,
the ship needs to be able to move on its own
or this little trip's not happening.
Ho-ho!
We'll get this done while Senku's gang's looking for fuel!
I still can't believe they flew!
They'll find that fuel in no time flat!
Oh, hey, Senku.
Good work on the balloon's test flight.
I'm glad everything went well.
Eh, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows.
But now we're set.
We'll fight on two fronts-- on the land and in the sky.
We'll search like hell from above and below.
And once we get our oil, we can go anywhere we want,
even the other side of the planet.
So how 'bout it?
Up to the challenge, oh great captain?
Ha! Who do you think you're talking to?
I can take you anywhere with these arms of mine!
Be it the petrification beam or a bright future for humanity,
we'll get what we want.
And in this stone world, this new world, I want everything!
Such hospitality! My thanks to these beauties!
Oh! Don't tell me you mean us! What a charmer.
What is this?
So bad! Look at this fancy spread!
We're having a feast!
To welcome Ryusui, for one,
and to celebrate Senku's triumphant return
to the village!
Oh...
Hey, Jasper, Turqouise.
How'd it go keepin' the old fogies safe?
Any trouble on the home front?
Not one battle to be fought.
I wish a bear would've at least attacked,
so we'd have some meat.
We've had fish for every meal going on months now.
Hey, Senku, uh...
Remind me, how long are we gonna be staying
in this village, exactly?
Uh. I dunno.
Until we find an oil reservoir, so maybe a year or two?
Oh-ho! We'll find one! And food, too!
From up in the sky!
I swear it, I swear it, I swear it, I swear it, I swear it!
That is some next level conviction coming from him.
But y'know, I've been thinking.
Maybe being greedy isn't such a bad thing
in this kind of world.
Yeah. It can be pretty darn helpful!
Glad you're so confident, Mister Captain!
Ah!
I don't believe it!
I'm really, truly flying through the sky!
Fun as it is to see our lioness freakin' out
over this like some kid, you should probably get to work.
Hey, I'm not freaking out,
and though I haven't heard a lioness joke in a while,
it's still not appreciated!
He's right, though.
We're depending on your eyesight, Kohaku.
Otherwise, I would've killed to be up there in your place.
The ground search team's pretty important, too.
Kinda have to wonder why they're down there.
Couldn't we just spot the "oil" ourselves from here?
Well, it wouldn't be impossible at least.
But science isn't about relying on luck.
We're gonna coordinate with the ground team
using our cell phones and survey the landscape,
little by little, until we find the Sagara oil fields.
We'll use our own eyes and hands to create a map
of this new world!
Could it be in that forest there?
Or maybe some food?!
Ah, that's a cedar forest.
Leave this to the resource king!
I know the route over there; follow me!
We can gather wood for construction!
It's like filling out a video game map.
We'll mark down key treasure spots as we go.
Ha. This is actually getting pretty fun.
I bet Chrome could find some mines along the way if he looks.
That'd be great. Super useful.
But I want food!
Hold on a sec. Something's moving.
A herd of wild animals!
Trust me. Sailor's instincts.
Found 'em.
And it looks like there's an old one
that's been separated from the rest.
It was a herd of feral goats.
I'm sorry.
If it's any consolation,
we'll make sure none of your meat goes to waste.
This is incredible, isn't it?
It's so detailed! I've never seen a map like this before!
It's amazing what you can find out from the sky!
Now that we've mapped out food spots,
you poor folks won't be forced to eat those salty fish
for the rest of time...
This changes everything! Science is amazing!
Now that we have this map,
we may never have to watch another friend or family member
starve to death again.
Hey, everyone's okay.
We haven't had a bad fishing year in a long time now.
Just drop it. You're ruining dinner with this talk.
Ishigami Village never grew.
Humanity survived thousands of years,
but their numbers stayed low because of food shortages.
Am I wrong?
Before I was born,
I'm told the village was a lot bigger.
But many had died after a bad fishing year,
including all of Turqoise's family.
I'm sure it was awful.
There's a limit to how far fishing can get you.
If we wanna grow, we'll need agriculture.
The plants wanted to thrive, so they made it worth our while.
You could even say that they domesticated us
with how much we took care of 'em.
Were people really put on this earth just to multiply?
Does all life exist simply to reproduce?
Only God knows for sure.
And I don't give a rat's ass about God!
As for me, all I want
is to keep those beautiful women from crying!
And the greediest man in the world gets what he wants.
We'll find the seeds of life from the sky.
Your age of agriculture begins here, Senku!
Yeah, I bet you're pumped, 'cause once we start farmin',
we'll have created a food market,
which gives you an opportunity to make some cash again!
Ah, you figured me out already, huh?
I don't know if you're a good guy or just pure evil.
I sometimes worry about Gen, too, but Ryusui's even worse.
The guy is simply greed personified.
He's just totally unwilling to give up on anything.
Not on himself and not on humanity.
