Hold your fire, Stan!
Doctor Taiju was a body double,
The true enemy leader,,,
The OP scientist,,,
is Senku,
Ishigami Senku,
Sniper!
There's a sniper!
Did they catch me?!
Idiot! Stop looking at me, Luna!
They'll know where I am!
No, that's not it,
Look!
The OP science leader,,,
The smart one is one of those three,
If the target is as clever as Xeno says,
he'll no doubt notice where you're looking and turn to face me,
He'll naturally smoke himself out,
Heya, Ishigami Senku,
Xeno, let me ask one more time, just in case,
You're sure, right?
I'm going to kill him,
There's no taking it back,
Yeah,
Go ahead,
Light of Science
Gunfire?!
They're coming for us! The bullets are coming!
No! It landed before the sound came!
They're already done firing,
S-Senku!
Our work's done,
I've taken down the enemy science leader,
You two stay here,
Keep an eye on them,
Wait,,,
What about the lady?!
Leave her or save her, Up to you,
It's not my problem,
Damn it!
Miss,,,
Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What do I do?!
Senku!
They killed him!
Calm down!
"We've erased the enemy science leader, They won't catch up to us in firepower now,"
"Now we just wait and put on pressure until the kids surrender,"
The enemy isn't expecting anything right now,
It's our opportunity to strike back!
Am I right?
Okay, maybe so, but,,,
I get it, but,,,
It's not about taking an opportunity right now,
Not in this situation!
He's right!
Can we at least make a grave for Senku?
Don't give up just yet,
"Heh, heh, I'm not dead, dumbass,"
"The bullet's clean out," he seems to be saying,
You don't need to talk, Senku!
Let your body rest!
Thank goodness!
He barely—
If I may,,,
Don't let them know!
The enemy could be listening!
You softened the bullet's impact?
With this bag of flour and water?
You do the damnedest things,
"Yeah, Although if it had been a head shot, I'd be dead ten billion percent,"
"But there's a chance that only I know the recipe for the revival fluid,"
"They must have wanted to give me time to leave a will,"
"I knew they would aim for my chest,"
That's what he seems to be saying,
In English, "If it was a head shot, it would have been an instant death,"
Wow, simultaneous interpretation!
Stop talking already!
Wow,
I can't believe he thought that far ahead,
In that situation, no less,
He's unconscious!
Was it fatal after all?!
I'll do what I can,
But beyond that, we'll need a doctor,
I think,,,
I mean, my memory's really, really shaky, but,,,
If you squeeze the upper arm,
the pulse at the wrist vanishes,
Low Blood Pressure Pulse vanishes with a light press
High Blood Pressure Pulse vanishes with a firm press
If it only takes a light press, it's low blood pressure,
If it takes a firm press, it's high blood pressure,
And you can get a reading that way or something,
His blood pressure's down,
Luna, are you a doctor?
No, no, no!
Of course not! I'm just a kid!
It's just that I was a student,,,
in medical school,
I'm gonna become a capable woman and net myself a smart guy!
But I only got in through my dad's connections,
I paid a ton of attention in class so that no one would complain,
but I had no idea what was going on,
I ended up being the only one flunking,
Please!
Please, Luna!
We have no one else,
No one,
Senku is our friend,
Please,
Save him,
Damn it, this place,,,
Where do we even attack from?
They'll see us no matter what,
They're just gonna fill us with arrows,
Indeed, Arrows I might be able to deal with,,,
Actually, we're more likely to be shredded by machine gun fire,
Shit,
Right, they're another Kingdom of Science,
We've got some mighty reinforcements with us now!
How did you find us here?
Gen left a trail of flower petals for us,
We followed them here,
So that's the enemy headquarters,
I'd like for us to make it through the corn fields during the night,,,
But it's too open, It won't work,
The water would be closer, but there aren't enough obstructions,
If only we could sneak into their castle,,,
I would be unmatched in close-quarters combat,
But on top of that, we'd need to capture Doctor Xeno and make an escape,
We may have to dig,
Indeed,
Dig?
You don't mean,,,
Yeah,
It's The Great Escape in reverse,
We'll craft an underground path into the enemy castle,
We're making a tunnel,
O-Oh, shit!
Th-That's too much work!
We'll need to ask Senku-kun for all the digging equipment,
R-Right,
Speak of the devil,
It's a call from the Perseus,
4-3, 3-2, 3-3, 3-2,
Huh?
Why is Ryusui suddenly chanting random numbers?
7-4, 7-6, 4-7, 4-3, 1-1,
Is he messing around?
It's the Uesugi cipher,
Warlord Uesugi Kenshin used this cipher during the Warring States era,
The way it works is really simple,
You convey a message by speaking the numbers that correspond to the kana chart,
As proper as Doctor Xeno may be,
I doubt many people outside of Japan would know the Iroha syllabary poem,
It's such low-tech encryption compared to the enemy's,
It's simple but effective,
Although they'll eventually crack it with frequency analysis if we send long messages,
What is he telling us with this so-called "cipher"?
6-3, 5-7, 2-4,
Senku's been sniped,
It's all right, He's still alive,
But I suspect he's in no state to make us science tools,
We still need to dig,
Without science, if we must,
We have a message from Senku,
Just three characters,
4-7,
1-2,
4-2,
Chrome,
You know what to do, don't you?
No matter the situation, humanity, ten billion percent,
always produces a greedy bastard who wants to know everything about the world,
You're the scientist now,
Doctor Chrome,
We're crafting a secret tunnel to Doctor Xeno's main base,
With the power of science,
But Senku's been shot, He's on absolute bed rest,
So then, who?
Can I really do this?
Me? The kid who's been coloring flames and calling it sorcery?
No,,,
It's not about whether I can do it or not, There isn't anyone else!
I'm science user Chrome,
I'll make it all!
Road map and all!
We'll need time,
At least two weeks,
Doctor Xeno's side is under the impression that
they've defeated Senku, and with him, the threat of science,
Which means they'll be ordering our surrender imminently,
Surrender? You're a moron!
We'd never do that!
But what if they keep telling us to surrender?
Hyoga's right, They'll eventually come at us with high-speed pirate ships,
Will that be tomorrow? Or a month from now?
That, we don't know,
But make them think brute force is risky and that it'd be wise to go slow,
Skew their assessment in that direction,
Am I right?
"Yeah, we're gonna buy us a shit ton of time,"
"Ukyo has the real Medusa on him,"
"It'll be a special gift for Doctor Xeno,"
What?!
What's this?
Wh-Wh-Why are we handing it over to them?!
The Medusa is our special weapon!
It's out of battery anyway,
Still, though!
I see now,
A scientist of Doctor Xeno's stature will understand the moment he sees it,
He'll know that it's an object of superhuman science beyond anything from the 21st century,
Will that be sufficient intimidation?
What a pedestrian concern,
It'll come with fake commentary, of course,
From who?!
Um,,,
So you want me to read the situation and tell a convenient lie,
saying, "This is a petrification weapon, We have more"?
Are you telling me there's someone with the enemy who can convey such a bluff?
Is that what I think it is?!
A petrification weapon?!
You know of it, Mr, Gen?
So that happened, and we picked up a ton of them on a southern island,
It's a super old out-of-place artifact from way back,
so I guess the one they shot at us was a dud,
Otherwise, we'd all have been turned into stone,
Oh, no!
That should about do it, right, Senku-chan?
You'd only hand over the actual petrification device if it was a bluff,
That's some real bullshit, you bat bastard!
You lied about the leader already,
Doctor Taiju, my ass! It was Doctor Senku!
For real?!
They had me fooled!
They were together all the time, come to think of it,,,
Senku-chan was the actual talented scientist?
Setting aside Mr, Gen's trustworthiness,
it's indisputable that this elegant machine is beyond the technology of the old world,
How is it triggered?
How long does it activate?
And what's its range?
Stanley, you're back!
I'm sorry, Stanley-chan,
Only the battle team knows the details,
All I'm aware of,,,
is that just like the evil petrification beam
from thousands of years ago, it's inescapable,
Rush into their ship, and they might petrify all of us,
Yeah, it is unexplained science, after all,
We have no way to know if it's true or not,
But either way,,,
I was the kind of girl used to play by the dumpster!
So loud!
What?! Is she singing?
She's trying to!
I didn't care what they say because I found my treasure!
It's a total weapon of mass destruction!
Do we still not have the thing?
With that, they won't even have time to throw the petrification weapon,
I can easily overwhelm the enemy ship,
Doctor Brody, we're counting on your genius mechanic skills,
When can we expect it?
In a month? Six months?
Do you know who I am, son?
Two weeks,
I'll finish it in two weeks,
Magnificent,
An elegant answer indeed,
So they aren't letting me in on it,
You can feel it in the air!
They're making something,
Some kind of science item that Senku-chan
would have never thought of,
I think I managed to buy time,
But with time, the enemy's science will make progress, too,
There's a time limit on this,
It's a science vs, science craft-off!
I'm not gonna be able to do this alone,
I'm counting on all of you!
I'm gonna make myself useful!
Are we getting some kind of measurement by just staring at the enemy base?
It's called trigonometrical surveying,
We just need the length of one line and the angle to the other side,
and we can calculate the distance that we need to dig without actually going there,
Add this number, and,,, no, wait, multiply,,,
Um,,,
Arithmetic!
I remember you getting reamed by Senku in that number battle you challenged him to,
I only knew the times table up to nine at the time,
Not that I'm much better now,
That's amazing!
This is so complicated,
We're just getting started,
There's a lot more to do,
Power
That does it!
I'm science user Chrome!
All right,
I'm done!

Goal: Tunnel
original road map!
The especially insanely insane idea of mine is this one!
Dirt-Ripping Loop-Knife
Spin the crap out of it, and it'll dig a tunnel on its own,
I bet they didn't have this in 21st century science, even!
Dirt-ripping loop-knife?
That's right,
I call it the,,,
(D) Dirt
(Ri) Ripping
(L) Loop-Knife
It's a drill,
It exists?!
But using this,,,
Yup, We can advance through the dirt,
That's right!
We're gonna bust right in!
Into the enemy base!
Using the science that I made!
