04x24 - Whole New World

[bunniefuu]

She achieved so much all by herself.

Senku

take a look at this.

The fruits of my labor.

It was hard.

It took years.

So many years.

I failed over and over until it finally paid off.

So, you made your own niter farm using animal feces.

Nice.

They used that same method during the Warring States era in Japan.

It takes a stupid amount of time, though.

But as you know, if you keep on working at it slow and steady

in time you're absolutely guaranteed to make revival fluid.

You did real good, Suika.

I mean it.

The thing is, I was only able to cook up a single dose, which is why I knew it was important to wake you up first.

Getting your revival priorities straight nets you a cool 10 billion points.

Get excited.

This'll be my first crafting spree in seven years.

All done.

In a single day?!

It took me seven years just to make one measly bottle.

Well, you and your science skills are out of this world, Senku!

I just used a different technique.

It's ridiculously fast if you have platinum on your side.

Now all we need is a little alcohol.

It should take about half a month to ferment, at least.

Meanwhile, you and I will be busy whipping up a crap ton of nitric acid.

That'll yield us 16 fresh doses of revival fluid in only 16 days.

Is that you?

Hey, Kohaku.

Been a while.

We're basically around the same age now.

Guess I'm too old for you to hold me, no matter how badly I've missed your hugs.

Ryusui!

Francois!

Suika!

How lovely to see you again.

You really pulled it off.

Good job.

Thirteen left.

That's one per statue.

Just enough to revive the Kingdom of Science.

What to do with our enemies is a topic for another day.

For now, let's keep the revival party going!

These creaky bones feel like a million dragos!

Hey, maybe if you petrify me every now and again this old fogey will be able to hang in there until we reach our final goal!

Couldn't hurt!

Maybe you'll all start catching up to me just like Suika.

If that happens, our little team can be a bunch of old fools together!

Crap, I just thought of something bad.

Maybe we should have waited to revive Kaseki.

You know, that way he'd live a bit longer.

After all, it's not like we can use the petrification device to revive him once he's dead.

I take it back.

We'd never fix the ship and stuff without our master craftsman.

Sounds like you whippersnappers are counting on me, so I'd better stay strong!

Senku.

Where's Hyoga?

There.

I have one bottle left, and I'm just about to use it on him.

Yes!

Let's go!

Then all of us will finally be back together again!

I know! I've been waiting for this moment for so long!

What if it's too late?

Hyoga! Hyoga! Hyoga!

Go on now!

Say it already!

Don't you have a certain phrase for moments like this?

You mean a thank you?

Cause there's honestly no need for him to say it.

This isn't about gratitude, it's about saying the thing!

So be it.

Your work here was proper.

Fam, I freaking love you guys!

Starting tomorrow, we'll work our way across the USA, Japan, and Treasure Island.

Scratch that.

We'll resume our mission across the whole planet, to revive all of humanity!

But just for tonight, we feast to celebrate this massive victory!

What's bothering you, Suika?

Aren't you hungry?

It's hard to explain.

I had to eat by myself for so long.

Alone.

Always alone.

So I guess... just being here with everyone.

Sharing a meal.

It's enough.

My heart is full to bursting!

Suika...

I said tonight's a feast, didn't I?

What good's a full heart if you're working off an empty stomach?

So I need you to fill that belly of yours.

Am I wrong?

Allow me, sir.

Now, here are your just rewards.

I made you some coconut milk fruit soup.

This soup is so yummy!

And what makes it even better is... well

I'm eating it with my friends!

In fact, you wanna hear something kinda silly?

This is by far my favorite meal I've ever had!

Look at that.

You still have those fancy cracks even after a fresh dose of the revival fluid.

Guess I do.

The erosion was preserved, so it seems this look is here to stay.

Hey, Senku...

I saw Tsukasa taking a solo stroll to the water wheel shed.

Senku...

If I could have everyone's full attention...

It's time for a surprise Mentalist Magic Show!

This grand extravaganza is seven years in the making!

This is bad!

Crap!

I drank way too much!

Maybe if we would have kept Kasuki petrified, it's possible we could have kept him alive a lot longer.

Yeah, that would be nice.

But since we all revived at the same time, I guess that means Kasuki's probably gonna be the first one of us to go.

I've never thought about that sort of thing before, but I sure am now.

Seeing as how he'd lost consciousness, it occurs to me that Hyoga has no way of knowing.

But before his revival, he was deceased.

Enough time passed for me to be sure.

Hyoga left this world.

I knew it.

Your word on the matter is all the proof that I need.

I've long suspected this was the case, considering I survived a broken neck and you awoke from suspended animation.

We accidentally confirmed my hypothesis with an experiment that was literally to die for.

Meaning...

petrification defies death itself.

Why-Man's Dr. Stone.

Uses science to achieve humanity's greatest taboo, a tool that can revive the dead.

Our own forbidden fruit.

And so, from this moment onward, all of us here, as well as all of humanity...

Are suddenly walking down the path of immortality.

That's bad!

No way!

Are you serious?

That's amazing!

Kaseki doesn't have to die!

Maybe.

In theory, anyway.

All thanks to Why-Man.

Maybe we've got it all wrong and he's actually not a bad guy.

I mean, isn't it possible he just seems scary?

Then again, turning every last human to stone wasn't very nice.

How is he so confusing?

I can't figure out what Why-Man's deal is.

We'll just have to go and ask him.

Before more Medusas rain down upon the Earth.

Right, Senku?

Right.

We're paying the Moon Man a visit.

So it's a really good thing we're all ridiculously lucky.

What do you know?

We happen to have access to our very own professional-grade rocket scientist.

He gets freshly brewed Revival Fluid 17.

Are you sure about this?

You're seriously going to revive Dr. Xeno?

Yes.

He won't be a problem.

I guess that's true.

He's too smart to try anything funny with someone like you around.

Assuming Stanley's still on lockdown.

Or maybe humanity's finally evolved past playing with g*ns and bombs.

The old world's rules don't apply.

Everything is 10 billion percent different now.

The Light of Immortality.

Yes, it's truly elegant.

Gorgeously depraved science that violates the providence of nature.

Depraved?

Isn't that the wrong kind of bad?

How is that possible?

Having that insane science means no one has to die or lose someone they love ever again.

I've got to tell the others!

The fate of living forever would be tragic.

In almost countless ways, it's worse than death.

Imagine an immortal world.

Soon the planet would be overrun.

Think about it.

Tens of billions of the elderly.

Perhaps even trillions of them.

Food and other resources are finite.

What happens next is inevitable.

A dystopian world ruled over by a tyrant.

They'll play God and decide who gets banished to an eternity as a living statue.

Don't forget, we still don't know if it can fight off cellular decay indefinitely.

And with the devices out of battery, there's no way to run clinical trials at present.

Until we can learn more, I suggest that we keep this between the four of us.

If the future revivees were to find out that we have the power to stave off death itself

the world as we know it would be torn asunder.

Chaos would spread like an infernal flame.

True dominion over life and death, Dr. Stone.

Anyone who controls this science is well positioned to become an absolute dictator.

Yet you still took the risk of letting me in on the secret.

Surely there must be a reason.

That earring.

You like our special earpiece?

We made it on Treasure Island to help us communicate.

Do you remember Why-Man's broadcast?

I bet you do.

Affect 12,800,000 meters in one second.

It's tuned to nab the lunar signal.

Here, take a listen.

Pure radio silence.

That nasty command was being transmitted nonstop before our stone nap.

But ever since humanity was petrified again, we haven't heard a peep out of Why-Man.

You hear that?

Do we have to spell it out for you?

We still don't know his reason, but one thing's pretty clear.

He's hellbent.

Y-Man's gonna keep trying to petrify humanity.

He won't stop as long as humans are walking the Earth.

It's like I told you, we have a whole new set of rules to go along with this new world.

So yeah, your dreams of being a tyrant will get you nowhere real fast.

Every last human on Earth is a immortal now.

But there's a price.

The eventual trade-off is a life sentence in Why-Man's stony prison.

I'm guessing that's not exactly what you had in mind.

Then I suppose we have a common aim.

We must journey to the moon to negotiate with Why-man.

There are two ways to define Stanley Snyder's actions.

A, that whole as*ault was a fully justifiable act of warfare.

B, it was attempted m*rder.

So, it all comes down to our testimony.

Am I wrong?

When it's time to revive him, once the world's up and running again...

I suppose we can all testify that it was the first option.

That's the card we have to offer you, Xeno.

And what you'd like in exchange is the full and willing cooperation of NASA's premier expert on all things rocketry.

A rather elegant proposition indeed.

W-w-w-w-wait, isn't this hazardous to our health?

You really think we can trust him?

My gut's telling me that Xeno won't betray us.

Too much is at stake.

This is precious, but let's be honest.

This whole show is just one big pretense.

A ritual of sorts to preserve his dignity.

There's no doubt he'll comply.

Gen, please don't tell me you were eavesdropping on our private conversation last night.

Come again?

Whatever do you mean?

Alright.

That works for me.

Senku, there's no time to waste.

Right.

Ten years.

Rather, it was just over 3,700.

It took us that long to join forces.

All to build a spaceship.

The first one of the Stone World.

We've traveled tens of thousands of kilometers!

We're finally here!

At the starting line of our grand expedition to outer space!

We sailed the ocean and scaled mountains.

And now science is even going to take us beyond the sky!

We've just got to take it one step at a time.

We'll get there.

I know it!

Yeah.

On that note, our crafting work starts now.

Here's our roadmap.

It has everything we need to make our own spaceship.

We've arrived at the final hurdle in saving humanity.

We're reclaiming what Y-Men stole.

The lives of 7.8 billion.

Their future is in our hands.

This is exhilarating.

Get excited!
