03x21 - Treasure Island

[bunniefuu]

We're going to the moon!



I was at the point where I didn't think

any of our cockamamie projects could shock me,

but a full-blown moon landing in the stone world?

Huh?! How can we get to the moon

when we're all the way down here, Senku?



The same way that the kingdom of science

always does things.

Taking it one step at a time.

It's totally different, though.

'Cept for the part about how crazy it sounds.

But this is crazy on steroids.

Ha. Now that we know our enemy's base

is somewhere on the moon,

do we just try to ignore them and await our fate?

No. That's never been our style.



So in this new world,

we even desire the very stars in the sky!

Too cool! Science is so unbelievably bad!

Yeah, well!

Building rockets is Senku's specialty, so it's meant to be!

What sort of things are we gathering this time, buddy?



We're collecting materials from all over the world.

The New World Moon Landing Project begins now!

So get excited!



There!

My word!

The offending stone imprisonment is melting away.

How very mysterious.

I know! Pretty cool, huh?

Wait. What happened?



You have zero reason to be smug about this.

Don't worry, you're safe now!

The entire island's safe, in fact!

I feel completely awestruck.

This "science sorcery" is wondrous.

If only we'd had this knowledge

when those horrid devices first rained down

and ruined our lives.

So, um, are there any other devices laying around?

Since there was a whole storm of them and all.

No, my lord had me destroy the lot of them.

Save for the device the bandits took, that is.

Then our Medusa is the only gorgon left.

And long as we have a statue, we can cure its effects.

So let's wake everyone up

and get the hell off this island, guys!

Yeah!

Let's go!

Not everyone.

Father. I'm sorry I couldn't save you in time.

And now we're leaving.

We're reviving the warrior guys, too? Isn't that risky?

They won't be so hostile now.

Ibara was the evil one, whereas they were just tricked

into serving a false master.

Seems you've forgotten Ryusui wants all he sees,

including former foes.



After long years,

it's good to see you well, Prince Soyuz.

Pardon. My master.

I'm sad about Soyuz's dad.

It's gotta be hard to see him sitting right there,

but still not be able to talk to him at all.

Okay.

We've got one more crucial mission to carry out

before we set sail.

There's another mission? I thought we were done.



A good kingdom needs allies,

so ours will forge an alliance with the people of this island.



Wait, what do you mean by that?

Well, getting ourselves to the moon

is going to be a ridiculously difficult endeavor, right?

It would be a little less ridiculous

if we had some stuff built here on treasure island.

Let's try to convince the locals to see our side of things.

And once they're all on board, we can put 'em straight to work.



Like, a lot of work?

Yep, I know that face.

He makes it when he has a plan, and devious intentions.

I'm just being realistic here, and facts are facts.

The manpower we'll need for this project is insane.

Be nice if it pans out the way you want,

'cause I can tell you right now, being a ruler isn't easy.



Considering the islanders were only just freed from Ibara,

I doubt they'd be open to us bossin' them around.

And even if they are,

they won't all be as driven as Kinro here.

Tch.

Brilliantly put, which is why the plan

is to let them independently decide

if they want to ally with our kingdom.

Them having the right to choose is key in making this happen.

Right, Gen? It's essential.

Uh.

Keep thinking like that

and you'll be on the right track to becoming a mentalist, too.

I-I want to handle this.

Hm?

My father may be gone,

but I can keep his legacy alive by unifying all of our people!

Fair enough.

It's in your capable hands, Soyuz.

Um, thanks. What is this?

Oh-ho!

What're you "oh-hoing" about?!

I wanna see what we're making this time, too! Ha!

Hey!

We have to quickly build a structure of great size,

and we could really use some help!

Please lend us a hand.

It would benefit the whole island!





Wow! Look at that giant thing go!

Uh. Is Senku even here to see?

Ah-ha.

What're you doin' in the lab

when the rest of us are celebrating, man?



Working on a project to get the ol' ticker really pumping.

The hell?!

Uh, what's this stuff?

Ah.

It's called zeolite, a highly potent drying agent.

Oh, it dries you out. That explains it.

Gunpowder, salt, and iron, too?

Is all of this for a project?

Yeah.

I'm doing flame test reactions, or Chrome's badass sorcery.

All right. Ready for some badass sorcery?

Check out my Rainbow Bridge!



Hmm. Okay, but...

I still don't get what you're aiming to do.



Let's just say it's for persuading any islanders

who aren't convinced yet.

Whoa!

I mean, I've done the same thing a ton of times before...

So that's his plan.

In which case, guess I could hype it up.

It won't really be hard. Uh!

Very well.

I shall begin preparations for our guests right away.

Ah! But I didn't say what I had in mind!

They anticipate things like a legit fortune teller.

Huh. Should we be excited for something?



Woo-hoo! No time like the present! Let's go!

Nice. It's working. Go on and start talking.



Um, hello? Testing.

We're, um, reporting from the water.

Yeah! Go team!

We can hear you loud and clear on the island!

Is my voice getting through?

Oh! Yes! I can hear you! Very clearly!

It's like you're speaking right beside me.



Pretty neat, yeah?

Our craft tends to make you ask that frequently.

It's the eetest-sway and uffiest-flay!

Got your noodles with rich broth

and extra green onions.

Blue-spotted wrasse Poêlé.

With water celery and cauliflower fungus sauté.

Bon Appétit.



Well, it smells amazing.

Jeez! Tastes even better!

Ah! I see so clearly now!

Through a mask?





Hm? What in the world?

Hey, there you are! We're here and ready for a show.

Hold on.

I probably should've suspected as much,

but you were eavesdropping, weren't you?

Senku, do you have a minute?

Hm?

I-I'm staying.

I'm going to help all of the islanders start anew.

I want to see them progress

the way the kingdom of science does.

Then stay.

Only if it's what you really want, though.

It is. Thanks, Senku.



Is there really a reason you should be thanking me, dumb-ass?

Our goal is to revive the world, and if you remain here,

you'll help us achieve that.

Yeah. You bet I will.

You'll always have a tried-and-true ally in me.

And I know how to make the revival fluid.

Though you just saw it once, you know it?

You have an astounding memory.

I promise to revive them all.

Though it'll take some time, it's my duty to save them.

As the island's new master.

You'll also have us to help you out,

with permission, of course, Master Soyuz.

Senku's group has this "Why-Man" to contend with.

That's true. He's dangerous, too.

So please join their fight, Kirisame.

Me?

Yes, you.

They're about to embark on a quest for resources

around the world.

They're going to need some fierce warriors to aid them.

Understood. I vow to prove myself worthy.

Wow, good point! Matsukaze should tag along, too!

Your old lord's reincarnation could use a meat shield!

I mean, loyal attendant and personal ripped bodyguard!

Yes! I shall prove my worth as well.

Master Soyuz and Ginro,

both said the same thing in essence, but...

Only one was thinking of the greater good.

Shows how different their mentalities really are.



Matsukaze's impressive skills are extremely tempting!

Desiring him isn't wrong.

He doesn't have the same honest avarice

that's so deeply rooted in you, Ryusui.

I think he's carried-away-ness just reached level two.

What the--?

Who turned out the lights?

Hey, do you hear me?

We're gonna show you somethin' so bad

it'll leave the whole of treasure island speechless

and wanting more!

Brace yourselves, everyone, for Rainbow Bridge Max Level!

Aye, aye!





Pretty!

I thought I'd never see fireworks again.

They're called fireworks.

They were a symbol of hope in our era. And prayer.

We used to sh**t them off to chase away bad spirits,

as well as soothe the lost souls of our loved ones.

They're something special.

And Senku could've reintroduced them anywhere,

but he chose here.

Look! Here comes a big one!

What did I tell ya, huh?

Not only was it big, it was a giant smiley face!

Yeah. Looked about meters in diameter.

A Number Four firework, then.

Sodium oxalate made the yellow,

and they probably used strontium nitrate to get that kind of red.

I can't believe that's how a preschooler

just described fireworks!

Oh, yeah?

Well, why's a grown-up acting giddier than a kid?

You're making way more of a fuss than I am.



I've always had a real appreciation for fireworks!

Of course they're a beautiful sight to see,

but a lot of prep went into creating them!

Craftspeople gave it all they had!

And for a fleeting moment,

their work dazzles everyone from above!

The science of gunpowder lives on

in the hearts of many and gives hope for the future.

Fireworks are proof of that, which is real beauty.

What brings you here?

Just an early morning stroll.

You know, the same reason as you.

Thousands of years ago,

Byakuya and his fellow astronauts

came down from outer space,

and into a new, empty world, where they started over,

at the very spot we're standing.

They've long since gone.

Nothing's left of them, aside from a few shards of stone.

Ha. That isn't true!

Every person alive is doomed to die.

Someday, we'll all return to dust.

But our hopes and dreams are passed down, and refined.

That ties us to the future even in death.

Didn't humanity call that whole process "science"?

You taught me, so you should know.

Am I right?



Ten billion points.

We'll fly farther than they ever did,

all the way to the moon, and become astronauts ourselves.

You said nothing's left of your father's team.

But there is. They left the whole world for us to inherit.

This place really lived up to the name treasure island.

Buh-bye!



Please bear in mind it's not a permanent goodbye.

We've got the power of radio. So save your tears.

Even if we end up ridiculously far apart,

those waves of science will keep us connected.

After all,

this island is the kingdom of science's powerful ally.

Goodbye, for now.

Let's recap.

Since we secured the platinum from treasure island,

we can make revival fluid by the boatload.

Our next step is to gather more allies and assets.

Ha-ha! Amaze me, kingdom of science!

I want a luxury moon tour rocket!

Build a ship that can sail to the stars!

Oh-ho-ho-ho!

I've built many a vessel over the years, as you know,

but I can't even imagine what this one is gonna turn out like!

Will it be a whopper or small but mighty?

Is it like the hot air balloon, maybe?

Well, in terms of size, yes.

Byakuya and his crew rode in Soyuz capsules,

which seated three.

So only a few will be going.

But the question is who?

Goes without saying that we'll need a pilot.

That's me!

And we may as well stay grounded without a scientist.

Whoever is most apt come launch day

will receive that esteemed honor.

Which'll be Senku.

Senku for sure.

Gotta be Senku.

How very you.

Not outright declaring yourself the prime choice

because goodness knows why.

We'll also need a fighting force,

ready to leap into action.

I'd rather not think about what combat on the moon is like,

but Why-Man is one massive enigma, so...



Sounds like those seats

will belong to whoever proves the strongest.

Makes it super simple then!

We'll choose by holding an official Grand Bout!

Tourneys are fun, but nah.

Just a big waste of our time.

We already know who the strongest guy around is.

[MIRAI Huh?

Uh! They're back!



Hey, welcome home!



Dear, sweet Ruri! Check it out! I don't mean to brag, but!

We adventurers ventured and come bearing treasures!

Um, wanna explain why a pipsqueak like Ginro

is suddenly acting like he's chief of the village?

I assume it's because by sheer dumb luck,

he's got the mighty Matsukaze as his right-hand man.

But so it goes.

Hang on. The cracks on their faces are gone!

Yeah?

Yes! All gone! Which could only mean...

You guessed it!

Got the device and unlimited revival fluid!

By petrifying and reviving ourselves,

we can heal the baddest of wounds now!

Together they're the Doctor Stone set!



Ah.

Well, that's science, a powerful force to be reckoned with.

The terrifying power that turned everyone to stone

thousands of years ago is now ours to control.

And we're using that power for good!

So, finally, we can help him!



Yeah. Let's wake him from that cold sleep and let him thaw.

We're gonna need the strongest primate high schooler:

Shishio Tsukasa.
