02x11 - Prologue of Dr. Stone

[bunniefuu]

[HOMURA]

Hyoga.

[yells]

[gasps]

Hey, Senku. You okay?

[SENKU] Yeah, actually.

Ten billion percent okay.

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU] Probably

wouldn't be saying that

if it were the first time

I'd been speared.

Thanks, Kinro.

That training you put me

through really paid off.

[MAGMA laughs]

Well, now that the fighting

part's outta the way,

let's m*rder this Hyoga bastard.

k*lling people is wrong,

and we don't do that!

Why's that always your

first plan of action?

But still, how long are we

gonna keep 'em c*ptive?

Huh?

That's easy. Until we have

society back up and running.

Once we have a

scientific civilization,

Hyoga won't be the

strongest anything.

People can put him on trial

or whatever they need to do.

Heh. I don't have a millimeter

of interest in that.

I'm just a scientist.

It's hard to believe...

but finally... it's over.

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU]

Are you making a joke, or what?

That's backwards.

Right now, we're finally

getting started.

We've got all these people

to work together with us

to build a real

kingdom of science.

We're starting from square

one in this stone world,

so I hope you're excited.

[MAN F]

What the hell's all this?

Quit just standin'

around, would ya?

We've got a lotta work to do!

Um.

[CHROME] We're building

science facilities!

It's gonna be awesome!

[KASEKI] Woo-hoo!

To forge iron and blow glass!

This power generator

isn't gonna build itself!

If any of you have

the fuzzy sickness,

some glasses will save you.

In the kingdom of science,

we even have ramen!

[YUZURIHA sighs]

I think that one was

the last piece of 'im.

[SUIKA] The poor guy was

broken into so many parts.

[RURI]

Yeah, I'm worried.

Will the regeneration

fix him up good as new?

Yes, of course it will.

'Least, I think so.

Per Senku's hypothesis,

it should work

if the interior surfaces

aren't too weathered.

Huh? But what if he's

wrong about that?

Then when we pour the revival

fluid on him, he'll go splat!

Blood and gore all over!

[SUIKA whimpers]

It really worked!

The guy actually

came back to life!

[MANGAKA screams]

[MANGAKA]

Oh, crap! Oh, crap! Oh, crap!

My deadline!

How long was I asleep?

Few thousand years.

No way! That means my

deadline's totally sh*t!

Here ya go.

We have everything a

manga artist would need.

Do you know this guy

from the old world?

Nope, never met him.

But he's a manga artist.

You remember what Senku

promised everyone, don't you?

He said he'd bring back

all the fun things

humanity has to offer.

Art and entertainment,

and the stuff that

made people happy.

This is where it begins again.

Our exciting scientific

civilization.

[YO] Scientific civilization?

Entertainment?

How long has it been?

Man! How did I miss all this?

Your boy Yo was only

gone for a minute!

This is wild! I'm so jealous!

[YO]

Yo! 'Sup?!

I fell down a waterfall,

and got, like, amnesia,

but I'll all good now.

I can help you move stuff, too.

[CHROME]

Yo! He's seriously bad news.

And he's probably the

one who let Homura go.

Really?

Hey, if he's willing to

help, I say we let him.

Because we need it.

The more the merrier.

And we have a ton of statue

puzzles to put together.

[YO] Sweet! So all my

crimes are cleared, huh?

[CHROME]

What crimes?

[NIKKI] Does that count

as a confession?

Anyway, how many pieces

we talkin' here?

Whatever you need,

Yo is on the ca-- Ah!

Are you freakin'

kiddin' me right now?

You're really planning on

putting all these back together?

Like, every single one?

That's right! Every single one!

[YO]

Whoa! Just asking!

[TSUKASA] From there, it's a

straight sh*t past the lake.

Not too far.

And then...

That's enough talking

for now, Tsukasa.

You need to get plenty of rest.

Not yet.

I have to tell them

this before the end.

[TSUKASA]

The w*r's over,

and the kingdom of

science has won,

so the statues

that I destroyed--

those people--were just

meaningless sacrifices.

Don't you worry at all!

You need somebody to go do

grunt work, then I'm your man!

[TAIJU] All you gotta do is tell

me where the broken ones are

and I'll gather up

every last piece!

[UKYO] Tsukasa, do you actually

remember every single one?

Each statue that you've

broken since the beginning?

'Course I do.

I haven't forgotten them.

Not even for a single moment.

[phone ringing]

Wonderful news.

You did it, guys. We really won.

And all our friends are safe?

Not a soul was

lost in the battle?

Oh, I'm so happy!

[CHROME] Yeah, nobody from

the village, at least.

[CHROME]

No.

Not a single person's d*ed!

It's just like we promised!

Senku's not gonna let him die!

[GEN] So what exactly are

you working on, Senku?

[SENKU] We have a ton

of modern humans now.

Some of them might even

recognize what I'm doing.

Vinegar plus chlorine

with a dash of sulfur

gives us chloroacetate.

Then throw in a little bit

of sodium hydroxide

and we get some

sodium chloroacetate.

Get that to react

with sodium cyanide

made from blood and iron

to get cyanoacetic acid.

No, this stuff's still

too ough-tay for everyone.

[MEN]

No way!

In any case, after all

that's put together,

add alcohol to make

ethyl cyanoacetate,

throw in formaldehyde,

and that'll give you

the kind of superglue

that can seal up major wounds.

You're saying... Tsukasa's still

got a chance? That'll save him?

[SENKU] We're just closing

the wound to buy time.

[SENKU] I'm not a magician.

I can't rebuild an organ.

So this is the best I can do.

[HOMURA] Just me and Hyoga.

Could be worse.

[HYOGA] You people are still

as brain-dead and soft as ever.

You won't even bring

yourselves to execute a man

who k*lled his own commander.

And you truly expect

you'll be able

to run a kingdom in such a way?

Ha. You think you

k*lled Tsukasa?

Doesn't seem like you'll

be able to make that claim.

[HYOGA]

How ridiculous.

But I suppose the mediocre types

always count on miracles.

[KOHAKU]

Miracles?

Senku doesn't believe in putting

his faith in that kinda stuff.

He always follows

the path of science,

no matter what kind of

obstacles he may face.

And there's no one in the world

who's stronger or

works harder than him.

[SENKU]

I've thought about it,

and there's just one

way to save you.

You ready? We're gonna

re-petrify you, Tsukasa.

[MIRAI screams]

Whoa! I'm sorry!

[MIRAI chuckles]

Oh, hello there, Mirai.

They told me that

I needed to stay away,

but I was worried

about my brother,

so I had to sneak a peek.

[KASEKI]

Hey! Yuzuriha! Over here!

[SENKU] We have some

needlework to be done.

It's a job for a

crafts club member.

[ALL chuckling]

[YUZURIHA] When you say

"needlework", you mean...?

Surgery? We obviously don't

have any anesthetic.

Are you sure? Otally-tay?

[chuckles]

Don't underestimate

history's strongest primate.

You don't need any anesthetic,

do you, Tsukasa?

[chuckles]

Of course not.

[MIRAI yelps]

Whoa! Mirai!

[KASEKI] Hmm. Well, she is still

only six years old, mentally.

[KOHAKU] I know you're worried,

but it'll be okay.

Senku's science is

always the real deal.

He's honest about

what he can do.

You can put your trust in him.

If he's looking for a

way to save Tsukasa,

I know that he'll find it.

[KOHAKU] No matter how

slim the odds might be,

and no matter how

many years it takes,

he will come through in the end.

I know my own body, so I'm

aware of what's going on.

The surgery was only

to buy some time.

In a few days, I will

have d*ed from sepsis.

Yeah. The only way we can

save you is to petrify you.

Petrify him to save him?

[SENKU]

We're gonna take advantage

of the regenerative effects

of coming out of petrification.

That'll be what

ultimately heals him.

Yeah. I understand

the rationale for it.

But, Senku, can you

actually petrify him?

[SENKU] Calm down.

You're like an eager little kid.

We're gonna have to

figure that part out.

Although we have no clue

how long that'll take.

I do know there's a ten

billion percent chance

he'll be dead by then.

So before that happens, Tsukasa,

I'm going to have to k*ll

you with my own hands.

What are... you saying?

[SENKU]

I'm gonna freeze you to death.

Or, more literally, cold sleep.

Meanwhile, we'll find

a way to petrify you.

But I'm gonna bring you back,

no matter what it takes.

That's the only way.

Put your trust in me... and die.

'Course I trust you.

'Cause if I gotta die,

I'd rather you k*ll me.

[TSUKASA]

It's only fair, Senku.

I've k*lled you once before,

so I owe you one.

[SENKU] Oh, yeah,

you're totally right. Heh.

That's perfect.

It'll be my revenge.

So I've gotta k*ll ya.

[laughs]

My precious little Steam Gorilla

got broken up in battle,

but now it's about to be reborn

as something super amazing!

[SENKU] I only need two pistons

that we used for the engine.

Okay, we're gonna have to

tear the cell phone apart.

We're takin' all that

golden wire outta there!

Oh, wow! Look at

those cavemen go!

Shut up, will ya?

We're the one's who've

been living like cavemen

for all this time.

Incredible. What are

you guys making, anyway?

Oh, a refrigerator.

A re...

...fridger...

...ator?

[SENKU]

Well, more like a freezer.

A stone world refrigerator?

Yeah, typical modern

person's reaction.

That's what I said

at first, too.

But now, my only response

is to laugh at it.

[GEN laughing]

[SENKU] Chugga-chugga-chugga

go the two pumps.

Pushing and pulling air through

the part with the gold wire.

That action is gonna

transfer the heat away.

Freezing stuff!

So bad!

I'm not entirely sure how it all

works, but it sounds awesome!

[GEN] Hold on a sec. Are

freezers really that simple?

[SENKU] Well, modern ones are

a little more complicated.

I do know that things don't

spoil when they're frozen.

Yeah.

And at the end of all this,

there's a chance

we could come out with

a ten billion percent

perfect way to preserve

our food supply.

The petri-beam!

[SENKU chuckles]

[SENKU]

Add a splash of revival fluid,

and we can have all the fresh

sashimi we'd ever want.

[ALL gasp]

[SENKU]

Plus, the regeneration effect

will get rid of the germs

and bad bacteria, too.

[GINRO]

Does that mean we...

He's taking the world's

worst disaster

and finding a way

to make it useful.

[CHROME]

This is so freakin' bad!

It's a whole new science!

[GINRO]

Petrification rules!

[KINRO] Great for when

we don't catch much!

[SENKU] I say if we can't

sustain seven billion people,

then let's try having

seven billion people

look for a way to

sustain seven billion.

After all, that's the way

science does things.

[SENKU]

Throw a freeze dryer in the mix

and we'll be unstoppable.

[KOHAKU] Yeah, this will solve

so many of our food issues!

[CHROME] Check it out!

We built a refrigerator!

[KASEKI] All right, you guys,

we gotta get outta here!

But why? How come

we gotta go now?

If you were ever in the position

of having to put

your friend to death,

would you honestly

want an audience

just hanging around you?

They're both the chiefs

of their own tribes.

They need to talk.

And us being here'll

make that difficult.

You said it's like cold sleep?

Only heard of that on

spaceships in science fiction.

[SENKU]

Spaceships, huh?

The Soyuz seats three.

If you had to choose

out of everyone here,

who would you want riding

into space with you?

[TSUKASA]

Let's see...

You're asking me to make

a kind of shortlist

of the most capable people

here, or something?

Huh? What are you talkin' about?

It's just a simple question.

Here we are at the end

and you make small talk?

[SENKU] What's wrong with

making a little small talk?

[TSUKASA]

Well... Taiju. And...

Sorry, Senku,

but you might not be

physically fit enough

for exploring the planets.

If I took someone from

the village, maybe Chrome.

[SENKU] Yeah. I don't think

I'd need me there, either.

How 'bout that chick with

the shells on her head?

Why not her?

[TSUKASA]

She's a journalist.

She's been a crucial

source of information

for choosing who to revive.

[SENKU] Heh. I figured

you'd be into her.

It'd make sense

for the "strongest

primate high schooler"

to have a thing for the

Marilyn Monroe type.

[TSUKASA]

I didn't consider appearances

when picking people

to bring back.

[SENKU]

No, 'course not.

By the way, why did you

choose the nickname

"the strongest primate

high schooler"?

I mean, did you just think

it sounded cool, or what?

[TSUKASA]

To be honest,

I never actually thought

of myself that way.

[SENKU] The world's

strongest primate for real

would have to be the

mega-macho mountain gorilla.

[TSUKASA] Yeah. Those

were tough, all right.

[SENKU]

Huh?

[TSUKASA] I've fought one

before. For some TV show.

[SENKU] Tch. You were a

total beast hunter, huh?

You fought a lion,

too, remember?

[TSUKASA chuckles]

[SENKU]

That thing tasted like crap

no matter how we

tried to cook it.

You, Taiju, and I all made

the craziest faces eating it.

You would've thought that

we'd lost some kinda dare.

Only way we survived was

thanks to Taiju's idea

of shoving it down with

a ton of mushrooms.

[TSUKASA]

That takes me back.

[TSUKASA] Those days I

spent with you guys...

...they were great.

So much fun.

Sen... ku...

[SENKU]

That reminds me.

That poison mushroom Taiju ate,

it's called amanita muscaria .

If you eat a lot of 'em, they'll

totally make you hallucinate.

Ya know, funny thing is,

that particular one

looks a lot like the one Super

Mario eats to grow huge. Heh.

But he actually doesn't

get any more powerful.

You know why?

It's because Mario only

believes that he's gotten huge

because he's hallucinating

hard off that mushroom.

He's ten billion percent

tripping on it. Tripping balls.

Ya know? Do you

know what I mean?

[SENKU]

What do you think, Tsukasa?

[MIRAI]

You protected me, big brother.

Watched over me and kept me

safe, for years and years.

So I promise that I'm gonna

protect you this time.

I'll be watching over

you every single day.

I'll make sure that

nothing breaks.

[SENKU]

Well, now that that's over with,

let's all get ready to ship out.

We're starting immediately.

[GINRO]

Everybody's together?

[NIKKI] Tsukasa never

did anything like this.

[YO]

Look at all these people.

[SUIKA] I've never seen so

many in one place before!

All right, everybody,

listen up, please!

Okay.

So about that mysterious-as-hell

petrification beam

that turned everyone into

stone years ago--

Yeah, why'd that happen, anyway?

It was lame, 'cause I was

takin' a leak in the street

when I got frozen.

Wait, weren't you a cop?

If that really was an

att*ck of some sort

and it happened again, humanity

wouldn't be able to survive.

We're gonna figure it out.

We'll use science

to get to the bottom

of the whole

petrification thing.

The information Byakuya

and the others left us

over thousands of years is

worth its weight in gold.

So we're heading to

the origin of the light:

The other side of the planet!

The other side, for real?

How can we travel that far?

[SENKU]

Aw, it'll be simple.

Neanderthals weren't advanced,

and they made it all

the way across Eurasia.

Yeah, but that took

tens of thousands of years.

And plus, those

people probably had

ridiculously powerful legs.

So?

We've got ridiculously

bad, powerful brains

and tons of heart!

That'll get us to the other

side of the planet!

We can't just walk

there, though, can we?

Of course not. We'll be

crossing the ocean.

Which means, all of us will

be working together...

...to build a ship!

[SENKU]

We're heading out into the world

to solve all its

greatest mysteries!

This voyage will

be the beginning

of the stone world's

age of discovery!

Woo-hoo!

That's some bad sh*t!

I'm ready to help

in any way I can!

[MAGMA laughs]

I know we can build some boats.

After all, we Ishigami Village

people live on the water!

Yeah! I'm finally getting

to travel overseas!

That's your take?

I guess you're right, though.

Setting sail on a

worldwide adventure!

I know that everyone

is gonna have

the time of their lives

on the journey.

For eal-ray!

[UKYO chuckles]

Amazing, he's really

serious about this plan.

You know the kingdom of

science is always serious.

That's how they get things done.

[SENKU]

It's been two and a half years

since I woke up in

this stone world.

Heh. Nothin's been easy.

Ha! We're finally

making real headway.

Following the road map

to humanity's future.

[SENKU] Yeah. But we're

just getting started.

The answer's almost

in our grasp.

We'll know what really happened.

We'll repaint fantasy

with the vibrant colors

of truth and science.

This is exhilarating.

Get excited!
