04x23 - Scientist, All Alone

[bunniefuu]

I've got to find everyone and gather them all together in one spot.

I'm sure someone has revival fluid.

I'll have them back in no time!

It's one of the bad guys!

It wasn't very nice of you to scare me like that.

If Xeno's men are here, then maybe...

We never doubted you would come to our aid, Suika.

I anticipated this outcome, so I prepared a fresh batch of revival fluid.

Finally!

I was hoping you'd show up!

Oh well.

I can dream, can't I?

It's so lonely without you guys!

I miss you all so much!

You have no idea!

I gotta be more careful!

Hold up.

I'm remembering something.

It won't stick if it gets too broken down.

Maybe Senku has that stuff we rub on to make the broken parts stick!

He was hiding something in his clothing.

It's just a silly piece of paper.

Kohaku

She and the rest of the battle team were fighting!

They might be broken into tiny bits!

This would be a lot easier if I could drive one of our motorcycles!

I could use those spinny tires to carry my friends back in no time!

Those spinny rubber tires!

I know there's somewhere around here.

There you are!

You're doing great first mate, Suika!

Gathering us all together will ensure everyone's safe and accounted for.

You must be tired.

Take a break.

We'll handle it from here.

Too bad they're not really saying any of that.

It's just me.

I'm all alone in the world.

I've looked everywhere I can think of, but I still can't figure out where Luna and Chelsea went off to.

Oh, so that would mean...

They were sent away as the new special squad after we were caught, and they went in the opposite direction.

It's finished!

The Suika Expedition Team is finally ready to head out!

If they were sent to revive us, then I'm sure they'll have some revival fluid.

They're the last ones, so they're also my last hope!

A bottle?

It must have fallen down.

Luna!

And Chelsea!

I finally found you two!

And all because you threw down that one bottle!

The revival fluid...

Nope.

I guess that was the very last one they had.

Well, in a way it doesn't make a big difference

since I probably never would have even found them if they hadn't thrown it.

I wonder what this is...

Oh, maybe Chelsea's map?

Well, that's the end of that.

There's none left.

No one had revival fluid.

I'm gonna be alone... until the day I die.

I thought for sure I'd cry if I didn't find any revival fluid here.

Since those two were my last hope and all.

No tears allowed!

I'm too old to think throwing a fit will make anything better!

I'm not a useless crybaby anymore!

Time to decide what to do next!

I've gotta fill this belly of mine and come up with some kind of genius plan!

I'll start with a food gathering expedition!

I could use... a map.

Even though you can't talk, you're still teaching me stuff, and it keeps me going.

Your lessons are passed down, even across time.

From you... to me.

Using our tools.

Things like... paper.

It's just a silly piece of paper.

It's the roadmap for revival fluid!

Yeah, that's right.

When humans need something, they just make it.

And I am a human after all.

I will see them.

Everyone.

I'll see you again!

I'll start from scratch and make science happen!

Look at that.

Turns out I'm still a crybaby.

I've gotta be like Senku.

And do my very best!

Hello!

Good morning everybody!

Let's see... um... how to make reviv...

Oh, I bet it's saying revival fluid

Writing is so amazing!

It's letting Senku tell me how I can do all his incredible science stuff!

I'm really grateful that I learned how to read, even though it was hard at first.

But still... just because I know how to read it doesn't mean I can understand any of it!

That's stuff for making revival fluid.

Nitric acid?

It looks like he wrote down three different ways to make it, but that last one seems real scary!

I'm ten billion percent sure option three is never gonna work!

Plus, it says that one will take a really long time.

And I can't wait that long to see everyone again, so I think option one or two would be best.

That settles it.

Option three is off the table!

It's time to work hard and make it happen!

My first science project!

Even though I don't understand any of this, I know it'll work out if I just follow every step.

I can't believe Senku and Chrome are doing this kind of stuff every day.

It turns out I can't do something as tricky as this without anyone here to help me out.

I guess I can't make myself useful after all.

There is still option three!

Even though it could take forever!

I'll do it!

It's the only option left!

It's stinking !!!

At this rate, I'm never gonna have enough.

How do I get more poo?

Make it myself?

Never! I refuse!

No way!

The white stuff all over this island is birdie poo!

It says after mixing up the poo and plant ash, I need to leave it underground for about a year or so.

A year?!

But that's gonna feel like forever!

The next step is... I cook shells and um...

If I'm not careful, I'm gonna lose track of what I'm doing.

It's fine, I've got it.

I know just what to do.

Senku made these all the time, and Chrome made one too.

I can't mess up my nitric acid farm.

It won't work if I use too much or too little water.

I won't give up.

I'll keep trying!

Even if a whole year ends in failure...

Over and over...

Over and over...

Over and over...

Over and over and over!

Over and over...

Over and over...

Over and over!

Seven...

eight...

nine...

I'm so sorry I kept you waiting... for such a long time.

I'm guessing you don't even recognize me anymore.

I see you made yourself useful.

Thanks, Suika.

It only took you seven years.

Pretty damn fast.
