All right!
It's time to get our mission to
save Chrome into full swing.
Our plan is simple.
Here goes: First, we use the
powered-up Steam Gorilla
to break down Chrome's
bamboo prison.
Then, we run.
That's all.
[OTHERS groan]
That is pretty
simple, all right.
Indeed. But it needs to be
quick, before they find out.
And our precious Steam Gorilla's
meant for one-time-use.
Senku doesn't have much
ouble-tray letting go of things.
[KASEKI crying]
We can't trash our adorable
little Steam Gorilla!
We don't have that
much time, though.
It's Chrome, you know.
He's gonna start runnin'
his mouth before too long.
[CHROME]
I'm a scientist!
Rainbow flames!
Truth is, we may already
be too late on that.
Yeah, that's a very good point.
So let's get ready
to set out ASAP!
[ALL]
Yeah!
[SUIKA]
We'll save him!
[TSUKASA] Senku's not the
type to abandon his friends.
I have no doubt
he'll use science
to develop a way to save Chrome.
Maybe even build a steam
engine to stage an as*ault.
That's why we'll all be
counting on your strength.
You need my strength?
I interviewed you back
in the pre-stone days,
at the police martial
arts tourney?
You completely aced
the baton category.
You were a crazy police
officer who's crazy strong.
So, I'm asking you
to oversee the prison
and all traps surrounding it.
Well, Yo?
You bet, yo!
Oh, yeah! Just leave
everything to Yo!
I can use the prisoner as bait
to take down this Senku guy
and his entire g*ng
of baddies, too!
Ahh.
[CHROME] I'll bust myself out
before Senku gets here!
With the power of science!
I got this, 'cause I'm Chrome,
the bad science user.
[CHROME]
Hmm...
How the hell am I gonna
do this, though?
Tsukasa's guys took away all
the science stuff I had on me
when I got caught.
[sighs]
[CHROME] The walls and floor are
way too hard to dig through.
Guess I could spend a few days
grinding down the rope
that holds the bamboo
bars together?
[CHROME whistling]
[CHROME]
No, that's never gonna work.
Now, what would Senku
do in this situation?
I gotta formulate
an escape plan.
[grunts]
[CHROME]
Damn it! That won't work either.
I can't just imitate Senku.
[YO]
And... boom!
[YO] What'd ya expect me to do,
give ya a slap on the wrist?
You ruined the trap.
And the guilty ones always
gotta pay for their crimes.
[YO] But that's enough.
We're good, okay?
Yeah. I'm sorry, Yo.
No need to apologize,
I said, "We're good."
In fact, if any of
these boneheads
try to give you grief about it,
I'd be happy to make them pay.
[laughs]
I like this new
world, it's simple.
[CRIMINAL A]
Thank you for helping us
wipe our slate clean, sir.
Oh, sure. Fine.
[CRIMINAL A] I couldn't
imagine going to prison
for something harmless,
like tax evasion.
[laughs]
These are for you.
[chuckles]
These steamed buns
look awfully tasty.
Let's toast.
I'll pour you a drink.
[CRIMINAL A]
Thank you very much, sir.
[YO]
And... boom!
What the--?
[YO laughs]
It looks like I've found
a couple of baddies!
--[COP A] Grab 'em!
--[COP B] Move! Move!
And boom! Boom!
--[YO gasps]
--[CRIMINAL A yells]
[g*nsh*t]
The baddie ran away,
so I sh*t him.
The way I look at it,
I did nothing wrong.
I mean, who wants to
go through some big
pain-in-the-ass trial, anyway?
He's a bad guy,
so just k*ll 'im!
Boom, right?
[BOSS A gasps]
[BOSS A growls]
[BOSS A]
You're fired!
I kinda had no future
in the old world.
So hooray for the
reset, ya know?
[CHROME] Uh-oh. Is that
guy the prison boss?
Bad news for me. I can't make
a move while he's around.
Because in the stone
world we're in,
I can make it to the top.
You see, how things work now,
Tsukasa, Hyoga, and Ukyo
are the three kings, right?
Except that's, like,
completely wrong.
It's the four kings.
With myself included.
Which means,
I gotta put on a good show
so I can take my throne.
And once I'm at the top...
[MEN]
Uh...
[YO]
Uh.
[clears throat]
So then, I'll use that primitive
guy to lure--Senku, was it?--
right into a pit trap.
One wrong step and boom!
There he goes with
all his bad buddies!
I'm gonna make this
plan work, ya hear?
If it's the last
thing I ever do.
[MAN H]
Not so loud.
[YO]
Huh?
All I'm trying to say
is I'm pretty sure he
heard that whole thing.
So what?
It's not like he can talk
to his buddies or anything.
Don't sweat it.
Besides, he's just a monkey boy.
[CHROME growls, yells]
Who do you think you're
calling a weak, twig-armed,
beansprout looking,
dumbass monkey boy?
What? I didn't say all that.
You're gonna regret
this, you hear me?!
[CHROME]
Damn it.
These people may see me
as some kind of moronic,
primitive guy who
doesn't know anything,
but they'll be sorry
when I use science
to bust outta this cage!
Uh.
[MAN G]
Hmm...
[CHROME]
Mh-hm! Mh-hm!
[CHROME]
No matter how long I try
to think about some genius plan,
I'm just not as smart as Senku.
First, I need to
gather up materials.
That's always been my specialty.
Less thinking, more action.
Search! That's where
my science begins!
So what's up, man?
Do you really wanna watch me
go take a dump, or something?
Shut up! Just do it, okay?
[whistling]
[CHROME]
All right, this is my loot.
Now let's see...
Is there anything I can
use to help me escape?
Aw, yeah! Check it out!
A four-leaf clover!
Ruri and I used to hunt for
these things like crazy!
Those were good times!
Who cares?!
How am I supposed
to escape with this?
It's just grass and twigs!
[MAN C]
Hm?
[CHROME whistling]
[sighs]
[CHROME]
Twigs.
This'll work.
If I can set fire to the ropes
binding the bamboo together,
I'm out!
[CHROME]
I can't.
There's no way I'm starting
a fire with these tiny sticks!
Fire. Damn it!
[CHROME]
If only I had that battery.
But they took it away
when I was captured.
[CHROME snoring]
[MAN C]
Uh?
Huh?
[CHROME snoring]
[CHROME] Bad ass! Where'd
the battery come from?
Of course! It was
Taiju and Yuzuriha!
Thank you guys so much
for sneaking this in for me!
Now let's do this.
Gotta operate under
the cover of darkness.
Hook the positive and
negative ends together, and...
[MEN gasp]
[screams]
[MAN H]
I saw a flash! It's a fire!
[MAN E]
I smell a match!
[MAN H]
And what was that sound?
Yo, monkey boy.
Did you honestly believe that
we wouldn't notice a fire?
But still, you were
able to light it. How?
Huh? And why the hell
would I tell you?
Don't underestimate
science users!
[CHROME]
This is bad.
This jerk's gonna
find my battery!
[YO]
Hm.
Ah, rubbed some sticks
together, did ya?
Too bad. Must've been hard work.
[CHROME] Whoa, I got
lucky. That was close.
So glad I brought
this stuff in here.
[YO laughing]
[YO] Hang on, let me make sure
I've got this straight, okay?
When you say that you're
a "science user,"
this is what you're
talking about,
you primitive monkey boy?
That's so freakin' pathetic!
[YO laughing]
No. I shouldn't laugh.
It's not your fault
you're a caveman.
Sorry. Truly.
[YO laughing]
But if you didn't know.
When you rub some wood
together, it gets hot.
Rub 'em good and boom!
Science. It's powerful stuff.
I'd never underestimate science!
Hah! Crap, I can't
stop laughing!
I'm sorry. You're too
funny, monkey boy!
[ALL laughing]
[CHROME]
To hell with this jerk!
For your information,
I used a metal battery, dude!
How's that for "primitive," huh?
[CHROME]
No. Science is not for bragging.
Gotta keep my eyes on the prize.
Matter of fact,
I should make him think
I'm some backwards dummy.
All right, I'll show you guys
some badass science!
Don't wet yourselves!
First off, did you even know
that you can boil down
seawater to get salt?
'Cause I bet you had no idea!
[ALL laughing]
You just blew my mind!
You're a scientist, after all!
Oh, man! Good luck with that.
A seawater prison break!
It's gonna be something!
[MAN F]
What a dope!
[CHROME
Seawater prison break...
[SENKU] We'll separate the
salt water with electricity.
And we've acquired
sodium hydroxide.
The yakuza use it to
melt enemy corpses.
[CHROME] I might actually
be able to melt the ropes
with sodium hydroxide.
I imagine that
wouldn't be too tough.
I've got electricity.
All I need now is salt water.
Senku used seawater,
but I won't be getting
any of that in here.
Though there is one sure-fire
way to get salt water.
[yelling]
Uh, the hell's he doin'?
[MAN E]
Ugh. Who cares?
[CHROME]
I can pull this off.
[CHROME whistling]
[CHROME]
How do you like me now?
I'm melting through the fibers
using a chemically
decomposed liquid.
This is how ol' Chrome does
a scientific prison break.
[BOTH gasp]
Bad news! There's a huge
bear in the jail cell!
[CHROME] The bear was a lie,
but it threw 'em off.
Gen really taught me
the value of a good bluff.
This is the moment
I've been waiting for!
Just one second is all I need...
to get the hell outta here!
Surprised ya, huh?
I pole vault all the time
whenever I go out scavenging.
[MEN laughing]
[CHROME]
Heh.
That primitive dude knows
where all the traps are!
Yo, sir.
[YO yells]
What the hell? He's out?
How did he break through
the bars? And all at once?!
The rope, it's melted!
Crazy! Did he use science?
That same monkey boy
who was rubbing sticks
together did this?
Stop, you!
[BOTH yelp]
[CHROME]
Aww, too scared to chase me?
It must be because Yo b*at the
ever-loving crap outta the guy
who ruined that one trap.
That's what happens when you
punish mistakes too hard.
[CHROME] The guy used our smoke
screen to his advantage.
I stole this handy little
strategy from Ukyo.
Learn the enemy's traps and
turn 'em back against 'em!
This is bad, though.
That Yo guy's after me,
'cause he's not scared of taking
a b*ating from himself.
[YO yelling]
[CHROME]
Whoa!
Damn! He's crazy fast!
You stupid monkey boy!
I'm trying to make
it all the way
to the top of the stone
world, you hear me?
Hey, Chrome!
I don't care if you live or die,
but I'm not gonna let
you get away from me!
[CHROME]
Bad news. It's a dead end!
[CHROME]
I guess I'll just have to fight!
[YO]
Boom!
[YO]
Yo, you really are a moron, huh?
You must be if you think that
an ape with a bamboo pole
has any chance against a cop
with modern day combat training.
I'll give you a choice.
Do you wanna go back to the cell
with the crap beaten outta you,
or do you want me to just throw
your dead body back in there?
You screwed up, boy.
But I'll forgive you.
We'll work it out, somehow.
I don't care. It's the
same to me, either way.
'Cause honestly...
...I've only got a few
days left to live.
Huh?
What the hell is wrong with you?
[YO gasping]
[YO] That can't all be
from a cut in the mouth.
This guy is seriously
throwing up blood!
I caught it in the
village a while back.
I tried to keep it quiet.
I didn't want them
to worry about me.
But it's too late for me now.
Pneumonia.
And for you bastards
without science,
this disease is a
real death sentence.
[gasping]
[screaming]
Hey! No! Stop!
You're getting it all over me,
you dirty little caveman!
[CHROME]
Here's the thing.
I may not have modern
day combat training,
but I've mastered one move.
And here it goes!
[YO screams]
[gasps]
[KOHAKU]
No way!
[VILLAGERS gasping]
[SUIKA]
Chrome is free, you guys!
[KASEKI] You broke outta
there all by yourself!
Way to go, boy!
I'm impressed you knew how
to find our camp so easily.
Honestly, I didn't know
where the hell it was.
I just went in the direction
that I saw Suika go
when she was scouting,
and hoped you'd be able to
see me with the telescope.
Another excellent job by
the Great Detective Suika.
[SUIKA giggles]
But I'm curious.
How did you manage to break
through the cell bars?
Oh, that?
With my awesome science.
It was like seriously bad.
I made that melty chemical stuff
with some salt water
and a battery.
Sodium hydroxide, right?
[VILLAGER A]
Whoa!
[VILLAGER B]
That's awesome!
It's actually sodium
hypochlorite.
You're close.
But that's what you must've
made in there instead,
since you didn't have any kind
of membrane in the salt water.
It's what folks in my
day called "bleach."
[GEN]
Powers up your cleaning!
[SENKU chuckles]
[SENKU]
It's a perfectly useful base.
Great idea to use it, too.
It melted right through all
the cellulose in the weeds
they made the rope from.
Can't think of a better way to
break out of a bamboo prison.
Awesome job, Chrome.
I'll give ya ten billion points!
Heh.
Hang on, speaking of sodium
hydroxide, wasn't that...?
Oh, yeah.
While you were
doing all of that,
we were using an
alkaline solution
to melt down cellulose
for making paper.
Ha! That's amazing.
So Senku and Chrome
were basically using
the same type of science.
Huh?
Hey, Chrome. You're bleeding.
[SUIKA gasping]
Oh, no. That's like
what happened to me!
Poor Chrome must've caught
pneumonia while he was in there!
[VILLAGER A]
It's terrible.
[VILLAGER B]
Chrome!
Just kidding!
I don't understand? You're okay?
[SENKU chuckles]
[SENKU]
You have a lot of plants, too.
I try them on myself.
And I keep the ones
I think are good.
[SENKU laughs]
Did you really use fake blood
to make those guys
stop chasing you?
You bet! I knew Professor
Senku would understand.
[CHROME]
Chew up some sorrel...
[CHROME]
And mix in a little shiso...
[CHROME]
And boom, fake blood!
[SENKU laughs]
That's awesome!
'Course Shiso turns red
mixed with the oxalic
acid from sorrel.
Uh-huh! My science
is from experience.
Not bad at all, Chrome.
You're a real science user.
[CHROME]
Yeah!
[VILLAGERS laughing]
I'm so happy that he doesn't
actually have pneumonia!
This red water smells
kinda familiar to me.
It's just like plums
pickled in shiso.
This stuff's just umeboshi ?
Damn that monkey!
