[grunts]
Okay, our mobile lab's
got a camo cover,
it was meant to hide
it from animals.
Heh. Suika's a pro at
blending into nature,
so there's a ten
billion percent chance
that she'll know to use it.
But, um, do you think
that's gonna work
to hide it from people, too?
No, not at first.
They'll still have to use force
to bust their way out.
We have a real chance!
Especially if our team can work
in coordination with each other.
[GEN] Hmm. Obviously,
Suika's super capable,
so I'm not too worried
about her, but her partner...
Well, ya know, that's
completely different story.
Maybe, but he always
comes through in a pinch.
You've got this, Ginro.
I know it!
Somebody really
came to save me!
No reason for me to stay!
Time to go! Like, right now!
Special Technique:
Not My Problem!
[bleets]
[ISLANDER A] This thing's
called a "goat" right?
The pelt's pretty nice, and
I'll bet it tastes good, too.
[ISLANDER B] There're all kinds
of creatures out there
that I've never seen before.
[GINRO]
All righty.
They're busy moving the goats,
so I'm gonna sneak away on
the other side while I can.
Somehow, I didn't get
turned to stone,
so I gotta use this lucky
streak and save myself!
[grunts]
[GINRO]
Oh, yeah.
I'm the only one.
The last man standing.
[GINRO] Jeez, Kinro, this is
a terrible time for a nap.
Let's get outta here together.
Ugh, fine. I'll carry you,
if that's what you need.
[clattering]
Whoa! Thing's bouncin'
around like crazy!
I thought it was a fruit,
but it's some weird beast!
[GINRO]
Suika? But how?
[SUIKA]
I can distract the guards!
Finally, this is my
chance to be useful!
All I gotta do is keep
making a bunch of noise,
and that'll give Ginro a window
to escape with the lab.
[GINRO]
What if they catch her?
They'll petrify her
for sure this time,
or they might just k*ll her!
[glass shattering]
[ISLANDER A]
It went that way!
[ISLANDER B]
Hold still, will ya?
[GINRO] Come on.
I don't have time for this.
Because we gotta
run away together.
Right? Kinro?
[KINRO]
Ginro. Ginro!
Ginro!
I can't see or hear
anything right now,
so I'm not % sure.
But since you weren't
on the ship,
I think you might
still be alive.
Plus, I believe in you,
and even through
all this darkness,
I know you're still alive--
I can feel it.
If I could talk to you,
I'd tell you to think.
Think about what you should do!
[GINRO] Aw, man,
even if you can't talk,
I can see it on your face.
I know you want me to follow
the rules or do the right thing.
[GINRO]
Sorry, Kinro,
but you're gonna have
to wait here a bit.
I'll find Senku.
I know he can figure out a way
to save every one of us!
[ISLANDER I]
Over there!
[ISLANDER C gasps]
[yelling]
[ISLANDER I]
Gotcha!
All right! Now you're
gonna-- Huh?
[ISLANDER J]
What the hell?
It's just some melon
rind or something.
[ISLANDERS gasp]
[ISLANDERS yelling]
Yeah!
[BOTH]
Huh?
Come back!
[yelping]
[SUIKA] The lab is so awesome!
On land or water!
[SENKU chuckles]
[SENKU]
Nicely done, you guys.
Senku!
[GINRO]
Ah! They've got us surrounded!
[GEN] I can't say
I'm all that surprised.
It's so dark.
I can't see a thing.
At first I thought it was boat,
but then it took to the land.
Is it another strange beast?
[BOTH gasp]
Oh. I see.
The islanders don't know
there are vehicles
that can move
around on their own.
In their minds,
it has to be an animal.
I mean, it's what
I would've thought.
Hurgle!
[SENKU chuckles]
Well, that's a convenient
misunderstanding for us.
That should mean they
won't have any idea
that we're even still alive.
But if we drive
off right now,
we're gonna be spitting
out a ton of exhaust.
Which will give it away that
this thing is man-ma--
[SENKU]
Those flowers.
[AMARYLLIS]
Huh? Yes, those are jasmine.
[GEN]
We're in the south, after all.
Do you think this
is the right moment
to have some Jasmine
tea for tea-time?
A shell?
It's one of yours.
You had dropped a few
of 'em earlier today.
[chuckles] I never imagined
we'd have a use
for the rotten flesh
inside of these li'l guys.
Since we'll be blowing a
cloud of fumes their way,
we might as well make
them mega-fragrant.
With jasmine, plus amines
from the shellfish,
we can make a batch of skatole.
Skatole, huh? Even the
name sounds asty-nay.
It's the return of Mecha-Senku!
Been a while since
you've seen me.
Today, we're gonna
be making poo!
Or rather, we're gonna be
making the smell of poo.
Just pour some stupidly
strong jasmine tea
on whatever kind of cooked
meat you have on hand.
[SENKU] In our case, we'll
warm up some rotten clams
wrapped in jasmine petals.
Why do we need to
acquire that anyway?!
That's something we can
get from our butts!
[SENKU chuckles]
It's just the smell.
We'll throw in some sulfur, too.
I mean, why not give 'em
nice juicy fart as a bonus?
[GEN]
This lab can make anything.
Huh?
[ALL]
Gross!
[fart sound]
[ISLANDER C] Ugh! I knew
it was just an animal!
Oh, yeah! It worked!
The lab's ours!
We left 'em chokin'
on a big stinky cloud!
You know what this means,
now we can transform Kohaku
into a thing of beauty!
[ISLANDER J] Hard to tell what
that was in the dark,
but we think it's
some kind of beast.
[grunts]
I've got an idea: For safety,
we should take this chance
to make some fake tracks
to throw them off!
[AMARYLLIS]
There's a secret passageway
called the Sapphire Cave
that you can only
access from the sea.
[SUIKA gasps]
[SUIKA] I don't think I've ever
seen anything this blue before!
[GEN] It's like that
place in... Italy?
I think it's called
the Blue Grotto.
It was a very popular spot.
The waves carved this
out over millennia.
I believe only the people from
my village know about this cave,
so we can hide out
in here for a while.
[IBARA] Perhaps it was
a strange kind of beast
that left these tracks, or it
was something else entirely.
Without investigating,
there's no way to know.
But I will certainly find myself
in quite a predicament
if there were escapees
now roaming our territory.
So leave no stone unturned
as we search the island.
Under every tree.
In every village around.
Look inside every last hut.
Nothing is off-limits.
So this beauty contest,
you think they'll still
go through with it
even after all of the
ruckus we caused?
Perhaps you should
work on your posture.
[AMARYLLIS]
They will.
It would take much
more that to stop Moz.
He's not like Minister Ibara.
He's confident, powerful,
and does whatever he wants
whenever he wants to.
Which is normally going
after cute girls.
[GEN] Wow! Look at all
these tropical fruits!
Yeah, very nicely
done, Amaryllis.
Sorry that I couldn't
gather any more than this.
Mainly just coconuts and stuff.
[chuckles] This is more
than enough.
And combined with a few
choice items from the lab,
we'll have what we need.
All made possible with the
awesome power of science.
[GEN] Let Operation: Kohaku's
Beauty Makeover begin!
[SUIKA] Umm. We're really
gonna make all of this?
Yeah, and by midday.
I guess it must take a whole
lotta work to look cute, huh?
This makeover's gonna be
a mad dash to the end.
A new hairstyle is
a crucial component.
To start, we'll let it down and
see what we're working with.
[KOHAKU]
Ba-Ba-Ba-Boom!
These cowlicks are
freakin' insane!
Stones and glass houses, Senku.
Now I understand why
you had it tied up.
[SENKU] Mix some coconut
oil from the island
with a little regular
ol' sodium hydroxide,
and then we'll have our friend
Sulfurina give it a kiss.
Yay, wow!
It feels wonderful to have
a working lab again!
[SULFUR LADY laughs]
Then add a skosh
of salt and oil
and we're in the
beauty business.
My hair feels cleaner than
it's ever felt before!
[SOYUZ, GINRO]
Whoa!
Now let me get it
all nice and dry!
That's a Kohaku-
powered hair dryer!
Is her hair gonna be soft,
smooth, and silky like Ruri's
when she's done?
[SUIKA]
I can't wait.
[BOTH gasp]
[GINRO, AMARYLLIS]
What the--?!
She's got some
fearsome follicles.
I mean, it tracks that her hair
would be just as
tough as she is.
I think some conditioner
is in order.
Even hair is science.
Oh?
Just look closely at a strand.
It's wrapped inside a cover
that's kinda like mushroom skin.
A shampoo will wash off the
dirt, but as for that cover,
it just gets all
bunched up and stuff.
That would explain why
her hair looks so wild
even after giving a good wash.
Wow, this has to be
the first time
that Senku started one
of his science lectures
and I didn't get bored to
death after the first minute!
Well, we could all use
some good tips on hair care.
I don't think that
applies to me, though.
So anyway, we'll rip open
the cortex with alkaline
and then pack in some sugars.
Once we calm the negatively
charged surface with a weak...
[OTHERS] Yep, I knew it,
he finally lost me.
Everything's real simple
and all natural!
Little bit of honey,
lemon, and a coconut?
That all sounds delicious.
[SENKU] If the outside layer
of the hair is outta whack,
we can totally fix it
up with some fats.
[GINRO]
Oh, yeah! There we go!
I can hardly believe how soft,
shiny, and beautiful it looks!
[SENKU]
For the next step,
we're gonna take this stuff
and smash the hell out of it.
Got a ton of mica when I went
into the treasure dungeon
with Chrome and Magma.
The white version is
what's known as sericite.
While the red and yellow stuff
is a type of rock we
grabbed called Bengala.
It's got iron oxide.
Grind these babies up and mix
that in with the coconut oil,
and boom, it's done.
I've never heard of
g-litter of founda-whatever,
but I really haven't been
keeping up for a while.
All to upgrade Kohaku for
the big infiltration mission.
In other words, it's makeup.
[AMARYLLIS]
Wow!
Amazing! How did all of this
come from regular fruit?
I would love to have
some of this for myself.
Ha. So painting
this on my face
is using the power
of science to be cute.
[GEN] Of course she'd
hold the makeup
like she was wielding
a couple of weapons.
[KOHAKU yelling]
[BOTH gasp]
[ALL gasp]
[SENKU]
Kohaku. You're--
[BOTH scream]
Hate to be a downer,
but I'm not entirely sure
she's gonna get selected
as one of the top cuties.
Well, perhaps we should consider
putting forward
multiple candidates.
The only other girl that we
have in our group is Suika,
but she's way too young.
Let me give it a try!
Okay.
I think you'll look your best
with just a little styling
work on your hair,
and a bit of light,
natural makeup.
We really don't wanna
overdo it on the eyes.
Some color should
make those lashes pop,
and we'll give those
lips some love, too.
[KOHAKU giggles]
Yowza!
[GEN]
Oh, some al-pitations-pay? Ha.
Kohaku looks like a kind and
beautiful priestess now!
So amazingly pretty!
Well, she is Ruri's
little sister, after all.
[SENKU chuckles]
Seems like you've got a real
talent for beauty, Amaryllis.
These scientific
cosmetics are incredible.
Which gives me a brilliant idea.
You mentioned having
multiple candidates.
I think we should give
that plan a sh*t.
[OTHERS]
Huh?
There's a ten billion
percent chance of failure.
Maybe you could pass,
if only you could keep
your mouth shut.
That would be a dead
giveaway, huh?
I, on the other hand,
have no problem with my voice.
Whoa! He sounds like a girl!
Gen is a dainty little fella,
but there's a chance he might be
a bit too much on the tall side.
Um. Think this'll
be a hard nope.
[ALL]
Extremely hard nope.
So I guess what we
really need is a petite guy
with a more feminine sound.
[SENKU]
Hm?
[chuckles]
The selection of ladies
for the inner palace
is the thing I look most
forward to every year.
Seems they're about to
start the beauty pageant.
That's fine.
We've got the mad science visual
upgrades working in our favor.
[GEN]
Mad science upgrades?
[ISLANDER C]
Form a line, girls!
The most beautiful among
you will be chosen
for the inner palace,
which means you'll
belong to the master!
Ha-ha! It's truly a great honor!
Ooh, looks like we've got
some cuties this year, too.
Ginro, you do know
that you can't keep
hiding behind me, right?
What else am I gonna do?
You know I'm a guy, Kohaku!
I really don't want these
weirdos to choose me!
Ha. Did you just forget
about our plan, or what?
[ISLANDER G screams]
[ALL gasp]
[IBARA] I was busy searching
everywhere for that beast,
but lookie here, I just
so happened to turn up
this adorable little
thing instead.
Yes, isn't she lovely?
It proves that those
of us who do the work
should also
reap the rewards.
[ISLANDER D] I'm begging
you to let her go.
Please, sir. We're still
only just newlyweds.
And why should that matter?
[ISLANDER E]
Idiot!
[ISLANDER F]
Stop!
They're either gonna turn
you to stone or k*ll you!
[AMARYLLIS] Please, try to
calm down and play along.
These guys petrified
some friends of mine.
I've waited for this
moment for five years.
This is my big chance.
My group is going to
infiltrate the inner palace
so we can save everyone.
Amaryllis. But how?
You're such a sweet
and kind girl.
Now, let's have the other girls
come introduce themselves
so we can begin to
make our choices.
That means you.
Um. My name is Amaryllis.
I'm sorry, I just get so nervous
around big, strong men.
You sure you want little
ol' me to participate?
I feel so shy and
embarrassed right now.
But I'll do my best! I promise!
[KOHAKU] She changed
her tone so quickly!
[GINRO]
She's a pro.
Okay! We'll take you!
[ISLANDER A]
Next up!
[KOHAKU]
Here we go.
Please don't pick me.
Please don't pick me.
Please don't pick me.
Next one!
Oh, sir, I, uh--
[gasps] Guess that
means I'm next.
I'm not totally convinced that
you can pull off the cutesy,
shy little girl routine
like Amaryllis.
So maybe you should go for the
spry, energetic type, yeah?
[ISLANDER A]
Next!
My name is Koha--
I mean, I'm Kohaku!
And fighting is like my--
I mean, being full
of energy is my thing.
So you really oughtta
pick me, okay?
Ooh. Well. That's a tough one.
[GINRO] What in the heck
is wrong with you?
Then again, I suppose you
are kind of attractive.
Not to mention, you've got
a body that won't quit.
My eyes aren't what they used
to be, but those curves'll work.
You won't be a problem at all.
[KOHAKU gasps]
What's the big idea, Moz?
I just saw a bee.
Comes with the season.
Bee. Huh.
You pass! Quite doable!
[AMARYLLIS chuckles]
[MOZ]
Hmm. Kohaku, was it?
[KOHAKU]
Hm?
I can tell. You're a
strong one, aren't you?
[gasps]
You're actually just my type.
I don't have a clue
what you're after,
but that's not my problem.
Unless you try to spoil my
fun at the inner palace,
because then things
could get very ugly.
I'll sneak over there
and find you sometime.
I think we could have
a lot of fun together.
If you come looking for
a fight, I'll be ready.
Sounds like a good time to me.
[IBARA]
All right, last one. You there!
Now, introduce
yourself, sweetie.
[GINRO gasps]
[KOHAKU]
He did help recover the lab.
And he always comes
through in a pinch.
Hey! I'm Ginro--I mean,
my name is Ginrolina!
And, like, I'm the furthest
thing from cute, ain't I?
[AMARYLLIS] I knew he didn't
wanna get picked, but come on!
A little tomboy!
You try to act so tough,
but you can't hide the
fact you're so cute!
You pass, so come with us!
[screams]
I guess he really
doesn't have a type!
[KOHAKU] Ha. It was close,
but we all made it through.
The first hurdle
has been cleared.
We're heading toward
the enemy base.
[SENKU]
Now, then,
the petrification
beam mission is on.
We're about to shift
into high gear.
It's about time to get excited!
