[RYUSUI] I want--no, I need a
professional chef right now!
Why? This bread Senku
made is perfectly good.
Don't be so picky!
[KOHAKU] It's practically a
rock, but it goes down so easy!
You guys have no idea
what you're missing.
Real bread is a delicacy!
It's unbelievably good!
You understand? That's
why we need a real chef!
What do you expect
us to do about it?
We're all out of revival fluid.
We could always make
more from poop,
but that whole thing would
take a few months at least.
That won't do;
I need some now!
At least pretend to listen.
[laughs] I was listening!
Don't worry, all we need is
a single dose of the stuff,
I'm sure I can manage.
Good luck, ya dumb-ass.
We don't have the
nitric acid we need.
Oh. You see, the thing is,
I got a sneaking
suspicion some villain
is hiding a teensy bit from us.
[laughs]
Dude, that face!
If anyone here's a villain,
it's clearly this guy!
[phone ringing]
[MINAMI]
Hello?
The revival fluid?
Why on earth would I, of all
people, have any of that?
[RYUSUI laughs]
[RYUSUI]
Don't play dumb, reporter!
Come on, you were the one
choosing who got
revived, weren't you?
Which means you had
more opportunities
to swipe a dose
than anyone else.
Just enough to revive someone
with valuable intel.
The stuff's liquid
gold for a reporter.
I can relate. No one can
escape their desires.
As the greediest
man in the world,
I've got some instincts,
and they're all screaming
that you're hiding this.
Huh?! Eriously-say?
I don't believe it!
Can you really make
something like that, Senku?
What is he doing?
You didn't say anything.
I don't know, but it's Gen,
so let him do what he does best.
[GEN]
He says he has the perfect gift
for our star reporter,
Hokutozai Minami!
In exchange for the
revival fluid, that is.
Hokutozai Minami?
Damn. That's a bad-ass
name, reporter.
[giggles]
[RYUSUI]
It has the kanji
for the four cardinal
directions in it.
Together they spell "news."
Whisper, whisper, whisper,
whisper, whisper, whisper.
[gasps]
Really? I want that, but I--
Huh. Wonder what
she's so eager for.
Whatever it is,
I bet we can whip it up
with some good old science!
Yeah, works for me, man.
Desire--it's the driving
force of science.
Without it, we wouldn't
get anywhere.
And whenever we
make something new,
it paves the way for more
inventions to come.
All I have is enough for
someone small, like a child.
So who do you plan
to wake up with it?
A three-star chef or something?
Here, huh?
Ah...
This is where we found
Ryusui, isn't it?
The one we want is Francois.
They should be easy to find.
They were with me
when I was petrified.
[SENKU]
Francois?
[RYUSUI] My butler
Francois'll cut you a check.
Write any number you
like on it! Francois!
Really? So you want your butler?
I want my butler-slash-chef.
A master of both fine dining
and exemplary service.
A true professional in
the art of hospitality.
Even in this primitive world,
they'll make food not
just to sustain us,
but that will taste like nothing
has in thousands of years.
Wait, are they a man?
Or on second thought,
are they a woman?
Y'know, it's hard to
tell. I'm not sure.
Well, just in case,
I'll excuse myself!
Don't wanna be impolite!
Could be wrong, but I think
Francois is usually a male name.
Ryusui didn't exactly
give us details.
He told us what
clothes to bring,
so I guess we're
covered either way.
[BOTH]
Huh?!
[NIKKI gasp]
First things first, I thank you
from the bottom of my heart
for the accoutrements.
But more importantly,
are any of you
fine people familiar
with Nanami Ryusui, per chance?
I must find him, and quickly.
Uh! You just woke up
after , years!
Are you sure you wouldn't
rather just take it easy?
[TAIJU] Ryusui's fine! There's
no need to worry about him!
Worry? You mistake me.
The fact is, worrying has
never solved anything,
therefore, I do not bother.
This is simply my work,
and nothing more.
If you cannot help,
I must bid you adieu.
Wait, you have no idea
what direction he's in!
I guess I'll act as
your guide. Sheesh.
[FRANCOIS] That'd be wonderful,
thank you. I appreciate it.
Ugh! How iring-tay!
[UKYO]
Francois is a French name.
Are they French?
Can they speak Japanese?
Huh. Never really
thought about it before.
They might be Japanese.
I'm tryin' to remember if it
was Francois or Francoise.
Whatever. I don't recall
that or their gender.
Seems kinda important!
It wouldn't k*ll ya
to care a bit more.
[RYUSUI]
I do know one thing for certain.
Francois is the most desirable
butler in the whole world.
And if they're good,
their background and
gender don't matter.
Am I wrong?
[FRANCOIS]
Pardon me, Ryusui and friends.
I'd like to take a close look
at the bread you've made.
Wait, they're here now?!
Just like that?!
[GEN groans]
Am I alive? That was two
whole days, nonstop.
[KOHAKU] Don't we need to, like,
fill them in on everything?
That's not necessary.
I can guarantee you
Francois got caught up
on the way over here.
And they're damn
quick on the uptake.
Here it is!
The bread we baked using
our own homegrown wheat!
[RYUSUI]
This is bread.
[FRANCOIS] Preparing for
the worst possible scenario
is part of my job,
so let me ask:
You didn't serve
this industrial waste
to these people, did you?
[RYUSUI]
Ha-ha! I did!
Not gonna lie,
it was pretty tasty!
Now what are our guests
hoping to eat?
And what style of cuisine
are you looking for?
[SENKU] We need something
for a lengthy sea voyage.
It has to keep from spoiling
and fill our stomachs.
Basically, we want edible bread.
Right, and how many
months should it last?
I'd like as accurate a figure
as you can provide, please.
[SENKU chuckles]
Huh. In my experience,
this crew wouldn't last longer
than about a year at sea.
It's over by then.
So let's say, at most...
Ten full months. That's how
long it needs to last.
Ten months it is.
Understood, sir.
In that case, I have
just the thing in mind.
Stollen, courtesy of the goats.
Stollen? What?
It's a kind of sweet bread.
It's eaten at Christmas
and keeps well.
[UKYO]
Wait a sec.
Oh, wow! It is goat butter!
[FRANCOIS] And we'll stuff
our bread full of dried fruits,
which will have been
preserved in alcohol.
Ahh. The butter, salt, and dry
fruit are working their magic.
They're all fantastic at
sucking up moisture.
Bacteria can't grow if there's
no water to keep it alive.
Which means this won't spoil.
It's more about
speed than force.
I'd like to think I'm getting
the hang of kneading.
[FRANCOIS] Excuse me!
Ryusui, Senku, look!
The nuts are poking
out every which way.
They're sure to get
b*rned while baking!
[SENKU]
You're using the upper heat
and lower heat
separately, I see.
This is wonderful.
Thank you for
allowing me to use it.
I aim for exemplary service.
It's my duty to fulfill a
guest's every last desire.
Because... greed equals justice.
Incidentally, when it
comes to firmer breads,
the first nine
minutes are crucial.
Oh.
Whoa! Dude! Somethin' bad's
happening over there!
That's for sure!
I've never smelled something
so appetizing in my entire life!
It's like a whole new
world for my nose!
[FRANCOIS] Said first nine
minutes are how long
the rising period of
our stollen will last.
Though I wonder how much
heat will be transferred
to the bread given
the circumstances.
That is, I wonder how
airtight the oven--
The science behind this
is stupid simple.
Steam conducts energy
way better than air,
so it gives us a big burst
of heat in a flash.
[SENKU chuckles]
Hope you don't mind that
I messed with your process.
Ryusui, as your loyal butler,
I pledge to bring the
Nanami Conglomerate back.
But in order to take on this
new world, we'll need him.
Ishigami Senku. I want him.
Ha. Yeah, I agree. Obviously.
I'm the greediest man
in the world, aren't I?
Ah! This is so freakin' bad!
What is happening in my mouth?
It's like, too good!
Oh, wow. This is actually
making me tear up.
It's the first proper
modern food I've had
in thousands of years.
It's reminiscent of
a firm madeleine!
I'd prefer this to stone
world food any day.
Yeah.
It legitimately tastes like
it's from a modern bakery.
[chuckles]
It'll last to the other
side of the planet,
and it's good as hell, too.
It's just the kinda food
we've been working for!
And now it's in our hands!
That greed equals justice.
This stuff--it's way
too delicious!
It's like the baddest thing
I've ever tasted, Francois!
It's a surprisingly
simple recipe.
If you want to make bread,
all you truly need
is some flour.
Mix some water into said flour
and let it rest for several days
at about degrees Celsius.
It's summer now,
so the weather's perfect.
Voila. It'll ferment on its own.
You should begin to
see some bubbling.
That's all?
Don't you need, uh, yeast,
or whatever it's called,
to make bread?
That stuff's literally
floating around in the air.
It'll grow in our wheat
dough, no problem.
Ahh.
Actually, fruit skins and peels
tend to hold quite
a bit as well,
and adding them to the dough
can impart different flavors.
The more water you use,
the softer the bread will be.
It will also spoil faster,
so I suggest a one-to-one
water to flour ratio.
Once we have this basic dough,
the rest of the process is the
same as in modern breadmaking.
[FRANCOIS]
Francois's Bread Class.
[FRANCOIS] First, add water
and salt to flour, then knead.
[FRANCOIS]
Let it sit for roughly an hour.
Knead it into a ball again
to force out any gas,
then form a V with your hand
to knead from underneath.
Let rest for another hour.
Bake at to degrees.
And you're done.
[CHROME] That's bad!
And in the good way!
[MINAMI]
Okay!
Yes, that's great and all.
But don't forget!
Who do you have to thank
for that awesome bread?
[ALL]
Francois, duh.
Wrong answer!
I mean, it's the right answer,
yes, Francois, too, but still!
It's because I gave you
that dose of revival fluid!
Also, don't forget
what you promised
to make me in exchange!
I expect you to get
on that pretty soon!
Bread is nice, yeah,
but what I want more
than anything is...
[inaudible]
--Ahh...
--The hell is that?
[SENKU chuckles]
Anyone ever tell you
you talk outta your ass
too much, mentalist?
My apologies, I got a little
caught up in the moment.
But you can do it,
can't you, Senku?
It's gonna take some
steady hands to make that.
Which means we
need our craftsman
in order to get the job done.
[KOHAKU] But Ishigami Village
is a long way to walk
for poor old Kaseki.
Should we really call him
here for a side project?
[TAIJU] No sweat, I'll
just carry him on my back!
[SENKU]
Oh, hey, Taiju.
Leave it to me!
[SENKU]
All right. Thanks.
[KASEKI laughs]
Thank you, Taiju. But you
don't have to worry about me.
Huh?
[KASEKI]
Senku.
Do you have the foggiest
idea how bored I've been
since you boys left?
You underestimate your
craftsman friend.
[rumbling]
[CHROME]
Huh?
[ALL]
Huh?!
[SENKU]
Guess it can drive up hills
now that it's got dual pistons!
[GROUP]
The Steam Gorilla II!
[BOTH yell]
[KASEKI chuckles]
[KASEKI] I had all the pieces
on hand, including the engine.
[GROUP]
Your clothes!
Looking good, I know.
I'm thinking about sticking with
this style from here on out.
Down to business.
You called me all
the way out here
to make something
for you, right?
So let's hear what it is.
[SENKU mumbling]
--[KASAKI yells]
--[GROUP] Your clothes!
[SENKU] While our craftsman
Kaseki is doing the building,
you and I are gonna
be doing the science.
Right!
Here's what we're mixing
together this time.
Our old friend,
sodium hydroxide.
Silver and ammonia.
[CHROME] Oh, yeah, that smelly
stuff we get from pee.
[SENKU] We dip this glass
into the sketchy concoction
we just made, sprinkle on just
a hint of glucose from grapes...
And it's done.
Already?
Wait! What the heck
is this? Me? Bad!
Now we need to wipe
the back part
and glue on a piece of paper
or carbon, or whatever.
That'll keep the silver
coating from peeling off
so you can actually use it.
So then, it was a
mirror you wanted?
Makes sense, right? It's all
about beauty with her!
[RYUSUI laughs]
Don't be so insensitive, Chrome!
All women are beautiful.
Of course she'd care
about her looks!
I'm not complaining
about having a mirror.
But what I asked him for
was the tool of my trade.
"Tool of your trade," what?
[SENKU]
This mirror...
...is for film.
[UKYO] Do you mean what
I think you mean?
[SENKU] We place the mirror into
the enclosure that Kaseki made
and seal it tight.
The whole thing's gonna
work like a dark room
that's built right in.
Then we bathe it in the sulfur
steam we made from seaweed.
Shouldn't take too long.
And now that film
is ready and loaded.
The daguerreotype,
humanity's oldest kind...
...of camera.
[gasps]
[MINAMI] On that day,
thousands of years ago...
[MINAMI]
...I lost something forever.
My camera.
[MINAMI]
Thank you.
With this camera, I promise...
I'll capture everything.
I'll document humanity
rebuilding civilization
from scratch.
And create a record
of our new world.
[SENKU]
Sure, you do that.
Meanwhile we'll be up in our
balloon takin' our own pics!
[ALL]
Uh?!
Good idea! Aerial photos
for our airborne surveying!
It'll be ten billion
percent better
than trying to spot stuff
with the naked eye!
That's the whole reason
I wanted to make cameras!
[GEN]
Wha--?
You really should've just said
you made it for poor Minami.
This has got to be
utterly mortifying
after that cute speech she made.
You better at least let
me take the first picture
to commemorate the occasion!
[GEN, UKYO]
That's perfectly fair.
[laughs]
And I'll be buying this photo!
Model rights and all!
If that's your way of saying
you want to be in it,
then no thank you!
[RYUSUI]
Me? Nonsense.
We're marking the advent of
our scientific civilization.
Your model should be
Senku. Am I wrong?
Eh?
We'll display it at
the Nanami Museum
as an exhibit on the history
of the new world.
You seem to be under the wrong
impression about Ryusui.
He does not seek out
glory for his own sake.
His greed goes beyond that.
It isn't about such
petty things as vanity.
He wants everyone
in the spotlight,
and to own the glory
that he spreads to them.
Luckily... I suspected
this might happen,
so I made a request.
As Kaseki was on his way,
I asked that he bring
Ryusui's wardrobe.
Always prepared!
Francois never misses a b*at.
Ha-ha! I told you
they were incredible!
Well, here we go!
[UKYO]
Isn't this one of those cameras
that flips left and right?
[SENKU]
Nope. It has a prism in it.
It's not going to
invert the image.
Ugh! Agh!
Forget it! I'm going up in
the balloon and wearing this!
If you want a photo,
take it now!
[MINAMI] At least pose
for me! Come on!
Senku posing? Good luck.
I'm having trouble
picturing that.
What, would he make
a peace sign?
[FRANCOIS]
Here's an idea.
How about the pose taken
by the world's most
famous scientist?
[SENKU]
Hm?
That's it!
[SENKU chuckles]
Unlike the camera
on a smartphone,
or any digital camera,
this one isn't instant.
Fly this thing steady
or the image
will come out blurry as hell.
Ha! You're talkin' to the
king of the wind here.
With this, that oil field
is as good as found!
[RYUSUI laughs]
[CHROME]
According to Senku,
the next step is to run
mercury through it.
Then we take this "fixing
solution" stuff made from sulfur
and pass it through, too.
[ALL gasp]
Ha! Look, it's Senku! Right
there on that little plate!
[CHROME] What's that
expression about though?
[MINAMI laughs]
[MINAMI] Only us modern folk
would recognize it, I guess.
That pose comes from the most
famous scientist of our time.
