[GINRO]
Whoa!
Yay! Now all of us can
go and rescue Chrome!
It's like we built a living
creature. It's incredible!
[VILLAGERS gasping, chattering]
That thing'll run you over!
Get outta the way!
Eriously-say! Steer clear of it,
or else you're gonna get hurt!
[KINRO, GINRO gasp]
[MAGMA laughs]
[MAGMA]
"Gonna get hurt," my ass!
All this thing does is run.
Which is exactly why
it's gonna be no match
for my number one power!
Ah! Are you crazy?
Ha. Wow.
Looks like Magma and the
iron steam engine creature
are going to fight it out
right in front of us.
This'll be interesting.
[ALL gasp]
You don't frighten me!
[yells]
[MAGMA screaming]
[ALL]
Magma!
That was really dumb, dude.
Even muscles as big as yours
won't stop a steam engine.
It truly is like
a living creature.
Indeed. One with
incredible strength.
The thing's like a big gorilla!
Yeah, wild.
Even more than Kohaku!
Ah!
Aww, man, that hurt.
Chrome usually takes
these beatings, right?
I wish he was back home now.
Anyway, this means that we can
all go on the rescue mission.
Sure does.
Once the engine's finished,
the rest of the car should
be pretty easy to build.
It's our science-powered
monster: The "Steam Gorilla."
All right.
Ishigami Village has
been great to me...
...but I gotta say goodbye.
Listen, Senku.
We don't have the
time to be getting
all sentimental and crap,
'cause we got a job to do.
Let's throw every last piece
of science gear on board.
We're taking our army
to the Tsukasa empire!
So get excited, you guys.
[CHROME]
Let go of me, ya hear?
[CHROME yells]
That hurt, ya bastards!
Hey, do you think this
wimpy bamboo cage is enough?
'Cause it's gonna take more
than this to hold me!
[HYOGA]
Tsukasa.
Is there a reason we're
keeping him out in the open?
[HYOGA gasps]
[HYOGA]
Huh?
[BOY A, GIRL A laughing]
[yelling]
[GEN] It's so shaky and rattly!
It's gonna collapse!
All our cargo's gonna fall apart
before we can even get there!
[GEN]
Ah! So ad-bay!
Oh, why? Why me?
Why do I have to be the
test driver, anyway?
Because you're the only one
with a driver's license!
Why would that
matter this world?!
[SENKU] Still gotta respect
those traffic laws.
[GEN] You're that much
of a stickler for rules?
[SENKU]
Not even for a millisecond.
[GEN]
Which is it?!
Regardless of that, these wooden
wheels are gonna ork-way.
We won't be driving
on paved roads.
So do we have tires, or what?
Don't worry! All of us kids
are working super hard!
We're weaving bamboo!
Hm? Bamboo?
That's a tire?
Yeah, like the airless
tires developed by NASA
for planetary exploration.
Ours are made from woven bamboo.
A great idea, but you know,
I've never heard of that before!
I wasn't a big science
fanboy like you, Senku.
It's finished, you guys!
Woo-hoo! Check it out!
The Steam Gorilla
is ready to go!
I don't understand it at
all, but it's so cool!
Yeah. I'm confused,
too, but it's awesome!
Sure, it's incredible,
and I'm really impressed by it,
but why are the guys
freaking out over it?
[GEN]
That's how it is.
We guys just love our mechs.
[whimpering]
For some reason,
Old Man Kaseki seems really
sad all of a sudden.
[GEN, RURI, KOHAKU]
Hm?
We need to hurry up and
get Chrome outta there
as soon as we can.
They've got him locked up and
I just feel so sorry for him.
Tsukasa does need
him as a hostage,
but who knows how
they're treating him?
[KASEKI] No, no!
I'm not talking about that!
Huh?
Building this
incredible creation
was one of the coolest
things we've ever done,
but since he got
himself captured,
he had to miss out on the
whole experience entirely!
I bet all of America would be
crying for him right about now.
So we gotta get
over there pronto
and flex our Steam Gorilla
right in his face!
[sneezes]
[GEN] The science team sure is
a kind-hearted bunch, huh?
[RURI] I guess that's how
friends behave sometimes.
We're ready to move
out when you are!
Let's start this rescue mission
and go get Chrome!
Yeah. Time to get going.
Load up the science gear
and all the old farts
who can't walk that far.
[ALUMI chuckles]
[SENKU]
Huh?
Hey, Senku.
We think that it would be
best if we stayed behind.
[BOTH gasp]
The elder folks have
all talked it over.
You youngins could bring
the science gear yourselves,
it would just take a
couple more trips.
So why did you build this
so-called "automobile"
contraption?
Because us old folks
would slow you down
or stop you from getting there.
We've got you completely
figured out. Right, Senku?
Nah, that's not it.
Honestly, I mostly built it
because I love using
science to create things.
We'll stay behind.
We belong in Ishigami Village.
We really don't want
to be a burden to you,
much less get in the
way of the battle.
And without us taking up room,
you can bring more
science tools.
Don't stay!
That's too dangerous.
She's right.
And what if the enemy sends
reinforcements this way?
You won't stand a
chance against them.
[KOKUYO]
We have to go together.
[SUIKA]
Please don't stay behind!
You're all so sweet, but we're
not worried about that.
The Tsukasa empire is
the least of our concern.
[SENKU]
Huh?
[NATORI]
You wanna know why?
[NATORI]
Because we have faith.
You'll b*at the Tsukasa empire
before they get a
chance to come here.
Isn't that right?
Yeah, 'course we will.
We'll fight together.
And when we come back home...
[KOHAKU] ....we'll have the
kingdom of science flag
raised high in victory!
He's lucky.
I wish I could drive,
too. It's cool.
Woo-hoo! I'm so impressed
by our Steam Gorilla.
It's holding up!
That's 'cause we're
on level ground.
Although it's a bit of a
roundabout way, I'll confess.
I've made this trip
a couple of times,
so I know how to avoid
any steep inclines.
Till now.
We can't skip all of them. Yeah.
[ALL yelling]
[MAGMA]
Dumb thing can't go up hills?
[KOHAKU]
We'll have to push it together!
The wobbler engine's
good, but still,
it does need some momentum
to keep it turning.
Yeah, we would've had
a whole lot more power
if we'd built a
double-cylinder engine.
Trying to save time
backfired on us.
[gasps]
[SENKU]
More power.
[KOHAKU] All right. There's even
more of a climb ahead.
[KINRO, MAGMA]
Huh?
Hey. What's up, Senku?
[laughing]
That's a seriously
evil grin, you guys!
[SUIKA] That face tells me that
he's definitely up to something.
[KOKUYO]
We'll set up behind this ridge.
The natural protection is
perfect for our field camp.
Production'll be
down at the bottom.
We'll try to hide the smoke
and stuff behind the trees.
[KOHAKU]
First, we need to figure out
where they're holding Chrome.
Not much we can do until then.
[KOHAKU]
But where do I start looking?
[gasps]
[KOHAKU]
Suika?
[SUIKA] Now's the perfect time
for Great Detective Suika
to make herself useful!
[inaudible]
[SUIKA] No luck. There's not
a sign of him anywhere.
[CHROME]
This is bad!
This is so boring!
I'm all cooped up in
this stupid little cave
with the bamboo grid
over the entrance!
[MAN E] Why the hell did he just
start screaming like that?
[SUIKA] That was Chrome.
He's still alive and well!
[KASEKI] Ya put yourself
in serious danger, ya know?
[KOKUYO]
Very well done, Suika.
[SUIKA] They had so many
guards around, though.
[MAGMA laughs]
That just means we'll have
to charge straight in there
and m*rder every
last one of em'!
You gotta be kidding.
[SENKU chuckles]
I'm not so keen about
murdering them,
but the part about charging
in might not be a bad idea.
Say what? Do you
really think so?
Because I don't wanna be
the one doing it, myself.
It just sounds crazy!
We're gonna bust down that
bamboo prison with brute force.
I mean, we've got an amazing
mech on our side, right?
Our science-powered monster,
the Steam Gorilla.
All it needs is
an insane upgrade
and we'll have a real
t*nk on our hands!
[ALL gasp]
[KASEKI cries]
[KASEKI]
We're really gonna modify
my adorable little Steam
Gorilla after all the hard work
and care we put into it?
[GEN]
"Adorable"?
[KOHAKU] Don't think
that's the right word.
[KINRO]
It isn't adorable.
[GINRO]
I wouldn't call it that.
[SUIKA]
It's like the opposite.
No, we're giving it a power-up.
Oh! Seriously?
Then let's upgrade it!
Right now! Come on!
Okay, Senku. How exactly are
we giving it an upgrade?
Easy. We're gonna give it
a ridiculous amount of armor.
Turn it into a t*nk that we can
ram straight through their army
So cover it with iron?
That would make it way too
heavy to move one millimeter.
To use it as a ram,
we'll need speed.
Of course, yeah.
So then what will we
cover it with, instead?
Paper.
"Pape-hair"?
"Pa-Prayer"?
I get it, Senku!
A paper t*nk, huh?
That would certainly
be nice and light.
What?!
[SUIKA] We got a ton of grass
and weeds and stuff!
It doesn't matter what kind
of plants we get, does it?
Nah. Any kind works.
We just take this
bundle of grass
and boil it down
in sodium hydroxide.
Mecha-Senku here again!
If you're trying this at home,
use bleach or baking soda, okay?
[SENKU]
We take that boiled mess of goo,
wash it, press it down,
and dry it.
Whoa! This is legit!
I had no idea paper
was so easy to make.
It'll come in handy for
making blueprints and stuff.
Just think of all the pelts
we could've saved
if we'd had access
to paper before!
[KINRO]
What's so great about it?
How is somethin' this flimsy
gonna do us any good?
Sorry, but I agree
with him, Senku.
I hope you're not suggesting
we use such weak material
to make armor for our car.
Yeah, that is what
I'm suggesting.
Hold on just a second.
That looks like a
Japanese paper door.
That's ten billion
points for you.
Now we just iron it out
and we get the stone world's
first paper shield.
That does it.
We'll manufacture
a bunch of these
and add them to the sides
of the automobile,
turning the Steam
Gorilla into a t*nk.
Senku. You may not be
aware of this, but...
[KINRO]
A blow from a spearman
can split even a wooden shield.
Considering the weapons
we'll be up against,
I have a hard time believing
in the effectiveness
of a paper one.
Yeah, that goes
double for me!
Oh?
Sounds like that'll make
for a perfect test, then.
[SENKU chuckles]
So, you wanna fight me?
This isn't good!
Senku and Kinro are about to
battle each other for real!
A battle? Why would
they do that?
Oh, boy.
And the spear that Senku asked
Kinro to use for the test,
it's not for sparring
sessions, is it?
It's the eal-ray deal.
This is too risky. I can't--
It's not a true test
if you don't come at me
with your full strength.
That's what the rules say.
And "the rules are the rules,"
aren't they? According to you.
All right, then. I won't
hold back whatsoever.
Senku!
[KINRO gasps]
[GINRO]
Whoa!
[KOHAKU]
Senku actually won!
That thing totally
shattered Kinro's spear.
And Senku's shield
wasn't so much as dented!
Huh? How'd a paper
screen do that?
Give him a second.
[KOHAKU] I think he's going
to need a little time
before he can answer
any questions.
[SUIKA]
Look at him shaking.
He did stop the blade,
but he still took the impact.
That wasn't just regular glue
you were painting onto
the paper, was it, Senku?
Yup, bingo.
I'll give you ten billion
additional points for that.
Actually, I painted
molten plastic onto it.
Combine the flexibility of paper
with the rigidity of plastic,
and... boom!
Ya got ya some carbon fiber.
Carbon-- I'm pretty sure
I've heard of that stuff!
It's a stupid light
and stupid tough material.
They use it in Formula One
car bodies and rockets.
I'd rate it at SS agility
and SS defense.
The ultimate component!
Whoa! Check out
the Steam Gorilla!
Look at it now! This baby's
powered up! Woo-hoo!
[SUIKA] That's the toughest
looking thing I've ever seen!
[SENKU] Now it's got
a double steam engine,
front-wheel drive, and insanely
huge caterpillar tread wheels.
We can pull it off!
As long as we have this t*nk
fortified with the
ultimate material!
[KOHAKU] All we gotta do is ram
into the prison and destroy it,
then we can save Chrome
without any bloodshed at all!
[CHROME] I'm sure Suika told the
others where I'm being held,
but I really hate
just waiting here.
[MAN F]
Gotta go pee.
[MAN G]
Hey, idiot! Not over there!
[MAN F gasps]
[MAN F screams]
[CHROME gasps]
[CHROME]
Bad. That's--!
[HYOGA]
A trap?
Coal would be fairly
easy for them to obtain
if quality isn't an issue.
Yes, and besides gunpowder,
the next scientific
thr*at to be wary of
is an as*ault with some
kind of steam engine.
[HYOGA]
A steam engine?
You think that's a real
option in the stone world?
[TSUKASA] Sooner or later,
they'll get there.
Senku's capable.
[gasps]
[HYOGA] So that's why you put
him practically out in the open.
You're anticipating that they
might try and ram the cell.
I get it. We're just using
Chrome as bait.
Senku likes to act
cold-hearted,
but he's not the type
to abandon his friends.
Sentimentality.
That's his fatal flaw.
[yells]
Hey, listen, Senku!
Once we rescue Chrome,
we could use the Steam
Gorilla on their army.
Scare 'em away and send 'em
runnin' for the hills!
That way, we might not even
have to fight 'em ourselves.
[SENKU chuckles]
Yeah, maybe if it's still
actually running
after we slam the thing
into the prison.
It was built to save Chrome,
and that's about all.
[KASEKI, GINRO]
For real?!
It's meant to be a one-sh*t
surprise att*ck machine.
If they figure us out,
and prepare for a vehicular
as*ault, we're done.
[MAN G laughs]
[MAN G]
Here. There.
We've got anti-vehicle
traps everywhere!
[MAN G, MAN F laughs]
If they try to come in and
save their little friend,
they are gonna be screwed!
[CHROME]
No! It's a trap, Senku!
Please don't come rescue me!
But how do I let 'em
know? Somebody--
--[slap]
--[BOTH gasp]
[CHROME]
Damn, what am I thinking?
"Somebody come rescue me"?
What am I, a kid crying
for his mommy and daddy?
Hell no!
[CHROME]
I'll be the one.
I'll save Senku and the others.
It'd be such a waste to
only use it once, though.
Maybe if we could mount
a cannon on top,
we could use it to go on
and take over the miracle cave
or something like that.
Stop it. You're talking
in hypotheticals.
Now that's a real waste.
Ha. I hear you, Senku.
But If Chrome figured
out how to free himself,
then we could make
an even bigger move.
[CHROME] I'll figure out
how to free myself.
All I need...
is the power of science!
Yeah, I got this.
I'm Chrome, the science user.
