00:01Whenever Stanley's crew attacks, let's do 3,000 meters in one second!

00:06We go ahead and petrify friend and foe alike.

00:10Meanwhile, one of us stays out of range of the petrification beam.

00:14They'll revive the kingdom of science, and then victory is ours.

00:17Our sole survivor has to stay the hell away.

00:20The whole plan hinges on their success.

00:22The head of our special squad will be...

00:25Suica!

00:26All that practice hiding means I get to be useful now!

00:29That's definitely safer than being here on the front lines, but it's still dangerous.

00:34Huh, no problem. We'll send Francois, too.

00:37I promise that no harm will befall her.

00:44Are we gonna set up a camp down by the river?

00:47Yes. We can rely on the others for regular food drops, but we cannot survive without consistent access to water.

00:54In addition, it's all but certain that Stanley's team will be traveling upriver.

00:59If we're vigilant, it's possible that we can discreetly spot them coming, so...

01:04What's wrong, Suica? See something?

01:09I think I've already spotted them!

01:11But...

01:12...

01:13...

01:14...

01:15...

01:16...

01:17...

01:18...

01:19...

01:24...

01:25...

02:56I'll go ahead and handle recon. That way I can secure a path.

03:00Hmm.

03:04We've just got to keep our eyes peeled for smoke, yeah?

03:07Right. The fledgling science team's somewhere here in Arashah. They're mining for minerals, which means they'll need a lot of smoke and fire.

03:16Pick up the pace, hostages!

03:17Ginro and Matsukase are with them, too.

03:22Excellent scouting, Suika. Nicely done.

03:25This is bad. We've got to hurry up and call the others so they know that Stanley's already here.

03:29We can't. Our comms equipment is a last resort. If we use it now, we'll be discovered. We are critical to this mission, so we mustn't take any risks.

03:40We're using the set to harness the power of the dreaded army yet to scare everything else away!

03:47Let's go. We'll temporarily return to warn them.

03:54Oh no! Something venomous must have gotten her!

04:08She may be bad, but she needs our help!

04:10Keep this stuff handy, just in case. It's your best friend if one of you ends up getting poisoned.

04:16All these paths are soaked in that nitroglycerin we used to make dynamite.

04:20Rub it on your skin and it'll expand your coronary arteries. And that'll jolt your heart back into action.

04:27She's right. But our role is far too pivotal to compromise ourselves.

04:40She's right.

04:42She's right.

04:50Senku. You realize Stanley will kill all of you without hesitation.

04:57He'll do whatever's necessary to rescue his leader.

05:00It isn't a matter of ethics. He'll simply be fulfilling his job as a military man.

05:06Yeah. I'm well aware.

05:08You clearly believe the beautiful platitudes you spout to your followers.

05:12Sadly, that is your biggest weakness.

05:16The crack that will ultimately split your diamond.

05:23I don't get it.

05:26We're enemies. Why help?

05:28Everything's gonna be alright now.

05:33Freeze!

05:38Freeze!

05:42What's freeze? What are they saying?

05:45I fear I don't know for certain, but I vaguely recall it having something to do with turning water to ice.

05:51I don't know what they're yelling about, but I do know that everything will be ruined if I let them catch me!

05:57After her! We can't let the little runt go back and tell the rest of them that we're on the way!

06:01We're in grave danger. Suica lacks 21st century knowledge.

06:05She has no way of knowing freeze means stop moving!

06:13The only thing I have that even remotely resembles a weapon is this small paring knife.

06:17I have no combat skills to speak of.

06:20Even if I were to risk charging them with this kitchen tool, Suica and I would still be gunned down.

06:26It's do or die!

06:27We've got you now!

06:29Use this!

06:30Matsukaze!

06:31And Ginro!

06:32I've risked my life honing my response to ranged weapons.

06:38I know precisely what to do.

06:41Fire!

06:43I retrieved the weapon, but I cannot use it while my hands are bound.

06:47Instead...

06:48Master Ginro!

06:56It's up to you!

06:57He cuts the rope, I'll hold him down!

07:00Stupid Matsukaze!

07:01How am I supposed to fight against guns?

07:04Unless...

07:04Maybe at this range...

07:08No, I can't do that!

07:11They'll kill me if I react!

07:12Why do I have to be the one to die a hero?

07:15Damn it, Matsukaze!

07:16I'm just gonna let them tie me up!

07:22My master...

07:24He had a powerful spirit up to the very end.

07:26You leave her alone!

07:38I mean it!

07:39No matter what, I won't let you hurt Suika!

07:50That's right.

07:51I was so scared, I almost forgot.

07:53I was one of the village guards.

07:54So I've always been really strong!

07:57Of course it's all thanks to my intense training!

08:08It hurts!

08:12Why would an expert marksman hesitate to shoot?

08:16Stanley could have easily shot him dead before he had a chance to fight back.

08:20That certainly would have made things simpler to handle.

08:22There's only one possible explanation.

08:25He needs him as a hostage.

08:27So he refrained from firing until Ginro's sudden assault necessitated it.

08:32Neither Ginro nor Matsukaze show any signs of injury or mistreatment.

08:36They were merely restrained.

08:38As prisoners of war, it seems they're being treated with a modicum of respect.

08:42These people, they're not ruthless murderers.

08:46They're soldiers.

08:47Which means...

08:48We are both civilians!

08:53Please don't shoot!

08:53We're non-combatants!

08:55Listen, that's Suica, a civilian doctor!

09:00She has unflinchingly upheld her duty.

09:02Even saving one of yours from death by a venomous spider bite!

09:06She and I have been living apart from Senku and the others to protect her from potential warfare.

09:11I implore you to thoroughly inspect her belongings if you cannot take me at my word.

09:16In a weird way, everything she said is true.

09:18We are unaffiliated with the combat unit.

09:22We harbor no hostile intent and will follow your orders.

09:25Will you kill us regardless?

09:30We won't.

09:31You can relax.

09:32That is, assuming you're telling the truth.

09:35Got me a walking melon.

09:45We're in real big trouble.

09:47It's all my fault.

09:48And to make it even worse, now we have no way of warning everyone that Stanley's already here.

09:53That isn't necessarily true, Suica.

09:55You may have performed a distinguished service.

09:59Hey, what are you grumbling about, Leonard?

10:03Francois over there was hiding a little secret.

10:05Their comms device sent out a radio signal before we caught them.

10:08Correct.

10:09You're more than welcome to analyze the content of my Morse code message if you're concerned.

10:14It was simply an update.

10:15For safety, I was informing the U.S. base that we had split into two teams.

10:19What's going on?

10:33They're not in trouble, are they?

10:34They made contact with Stanley's crew.

10:37Why would Francois send that weird message knowing it would give away their position?

10:44You've got it backwards.

10:46Francois sent it to tell us their position, not Stanley.

10:49Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.

10:51It's super basic.

10:52You check the direction the signal came from and how long ago they left.

10:55Yep.

10:56And just like that, we found him first.

10:59We've got him.

11:01We know the enemy's exact location.

11:04Our final battle against Stanley is about to begin.

11:09We possess information that could turn the tide in our favor.

11:13We know where they are, but they still don't know where we are.

11:16Wait a sec!

11:17Back it up!

11:18Do you hear yourselves?

11:19There's something we should really ifne in the Udbey.

11:22Sweet little Suika and Francois have been caught.

11:24And we know where the enemy is.

11:26Can that genius brain of yours think of a certain badass who won't hesitate to act on that?

11:30Hurry and tie her down!

11:31And she's gone.

11:36Kohaku's doomed!

11:38I hate being right!

11:40It's risky, but it may be our best option.

11:42Am I wrong?

11:44You're not.

11:44Our victory condition is deceptively simple.

11:47We just trigger our friend Medusa before the enemy arrives and mows us down.

11:51A little guerrilla warfare is just the ticket.

11:54Slow him down and buy us time to make the first move.

12:03They're so strong I'm starting to get really scared for our friends.

12:07Our footprints are shallow and kind of hard to see.

12:10But that won't stop them!

12:11I know they'll find a way to follow them back to our fortress!

12:14There.

12:19The enemy's position and approach router is clear as day.

12:23They had no chance of hiding from these eyes.

12:26Tracking them was a cinch.

12:28Still.

12:29The soldier at the front is looking out for wires and traps.

12:33Behind him, their leader is watching ahead and above.

12:36Their comm soldier is guarding their flanks.

12:39The rear guard has their backs covered.

12:41The whole team is moving in unison.

12:44There aren't any blind spots whatsoever.

12:46And not a single opening.

12:49We're facing professional combatants from the 21st century.

12:55Tsukasa!

12:56Hyoga!

12:57You left in such a frenzy.

12:59I assumed your mental faculties had also departed.

13:02But to your credit, you made the proper choice of assessing the enemy's capabilities

13:06instead of charging in haphazardly.

13:09Their whole team is highly trained and prepared for all manner of attack.

13:12We wouldn't stand a chance fighting them head-on.

13:15But they're not the only ones who have come prepared.

13:27Isn't that...

13:28The manual record player that our own Chrome crafted as a handy trap for the coming battle.

13:40It doesn't have enough resonance to sound like a real gunshot.

13:43How's that possible?

13:45We recorded the real thing.

13:46That doesn't necessarily mean it'll be convincing.

13:50It's like the sound effects in movies.

13:51For ocean waves, they often swish sand around in a basket instead of recording the water.

13:57So you think smacking a plastic bottle will sound legit enough for you?

14:02I bet that'll work!

14:04We'll make a recording of hitting the plastic bottle.

14:07And then seal the deal by playing it at a slower speed.

14:12That's goated!

14:13Our sonar man, Ukyo Mist, is calling as a sound director for Eel Ray!

14:17The last step is to layer the sound a few times.

14:21I can't die here! I have so much life left to live!

14:27Stop shooting at us! We're on your side!

14:33The soldier in front is coming our way.

14:36She left while the leader took cover.

14:38Have they spotted us?

14:39Not yet. They're just true professionals.

14:42It bought us some time, but it won't take them long to realize that the gunfire is fake.

14:46Don't think for a moment they're so naive as to think we don't pose a threat.

14:50It's an ambush.

14:51And they'll respond exactly as military theory dictates.

14:55The targeted soldier fights from where they are to draw attention,

14:59while the rest make their way around to confront the enemy.

15:03Then we should hurry while there's still a chance to rescue Suika and Francois!

15:07It won't be easy. Not with Stanley nearby.

15:10If things get chaotic, they'll both die.

15:13More importantly, it's imperative that we destroy their comm devices.

15:19Our one golden opportunity is while chaos still reigns.

15:22We won't have another chance like this.

15:25I understand.

15:26And I know this well by now. Communication is the key to modern warfare.

15:30True. It changes everything.

15:33In fact, victory is assured the very moment that we managed to take over their communication network.

15:39I'm not following you.

15:40Think about it objectively.

15:42We put a blade to Dr. Zeno's throat and demand that Stanley and his men surrender if they want him to live.

15:50Is there any good reason we shouldn't employ such a simple and effective strategy?

15:55There are dozens of reasons, and they're all being held as Stanley's hostages.

15:59They're at the enemy's headquarters even now.

16:02They're alive because we have a prime hostage.

16:06Yeah.

16:07In other words, if we harm Zeno in any way, they'll contact their forces in Korn City and give them the order.

16:12They'll tell them to.

16:15See?

16:16Once we sever their line of communication, their mainland hostages become effectively useless.

16:22Then all we have to do is cut off Zeno's fingers one by one.

16:26Next, onto his limbs, one arm and leg at a time.

16:29Eventually, his pal Stanley will crumble and surrender.

16:33Please tell me you're aware that'll never happen!

16:35Or have you already forgotten that they have Suica and three of our other friends as hostages?

16:39The entire Kingdom of Science hangs in the balance.

16:42If we can save all those lives at the mere cost of four others, we would be remiss if we fail to at least consider it.

16:48Huh! There's absolutely zero chance we'd go along with that!

16:52Huh. It doesn't actually matter if that's our ultimate plan or not.

16:56Stanley will know it's an option.

16:59Consider it from his perspective.

17:01If their comm device is destroyed, they'll have no choice but to fix it as quickly as possible.

17:06It would cost them a massive amount of time.

17:09Fine.

17:10If delaying them is our only goal, then you've got my approval.

17:13Maya, is something wrong?

17:20It's hard to explain.

17:22Call it the gut instinct of a national champion martial artist.

17:29I finally gotcha!

17:31There's no chance of escape while we're surrounded on all sides by our enemy.

17:40Even still, although our demise is essentially guaranteed...

17:44Right.

17:45It's far better to die fighting than to timidly await death.

17:49Ha!

17:50Not so long ago, I would have never imagined the three of us fighting side by side.

17:54I will destroy that device.

17:59Even if I have to lay down my legs to do it.

18:02One last gift.

18:03We're doing this so Senku and the others can win!

18:06Ha!

18:07Ha!

18:08Ha!

18:09Ha!

18:10Ha!

18:11Ha!

18:12Ha!

18:13Ha!

18:14Ha!

18:15Ha!

18:16Ha!

18:17Ha!

18:18Ha!

18:19Ha!

18:20Ha!

18:21Ha!

18:22Ha!

18:23Ha!

18:24Ha!

18:25Ha!

18:26Ah!

18:27Ha!

18:28Quinn?

18:29Ha!

18:30Ha!

18:41Ha!

18:42Ha!

18:44Ha!

18:47Ha!

18:51Ya!

18:52Ahhhhh!

19:06Tsukasa!

19:07Hurry.

19:09It is Tsukasa.

19:12Who's that?

19:13He's the strongest primate high schooler.

19:15He's a martial artist. Japan's champion.

19:18Then I don't have to hold back when I beat him to death.

19:48Argh!

19:54Well now. You're quite impressive.

19:57I've never fought against anyone who made me struggle to this degree.

20:03Argh!

20:07Argh!

20:09Argh!

20:11He took out Maia! The guy's a monster!

20:23Too bad for you. Against Zeno's science-made firearms, it doesn't matter one tiny bit how strong you may be.

20:32But you have no idea how things were before. The world I lived in was tainted by powerful forces who used weapons of science for unspeakable crimes.
