Yo, they're finally coming!
And so it begins,
The final battle of science,
Let's see what a professional pilot's made of,
We're avenging Senku,
This battle is in his honor!
I ain't dead, though,
It's a science versus science dogfight!
Let's fight, Stanley!
Those Who Know the Rules; Those Who Make Them
A dogfight!
It's a plane battle!
How can you be so hyped about this?
We're gonna get shot at from above if we don't win this!
Th-That's true, but why is Senku in a plane?
He hasn't fully recovered yet!
Is that a machine gun Senku's holding?!
When did he make that?
There's no way,
The only gun they have is the one they swiped off of me,
What is that, just a stick?
Yeah,
If he finds out we don't even have an automatic weapon,
he's just gonna close in and mince us,
Makes sense,
Show him fake fangs, and we can turn it into a legit dogfight,
You've got some guts, going up against an Air Force pilot,
All right, then, I'll take you on and take you down!
Senku's plane, and,,, Stanley's?
They're spinning around each other like they're playing tag,
Aerial combat is about two fighter planes struggling to get a good lock on the enemy,
In other words, the one that gets behind the other wins!
That means they're going to perpetually chase each other's tails!
He's going off all of a sudden!
I'm a military mangaka, after all!
Shit, my body's so heavy,
This is way more intense than a roller coaster,
The G-force is insane!
Something came loose!
I did slap it together quick,
Relax, This is what I'm here for!
He's gaining on us!
Private planes only ever get used for grocery shopping,
No one does that, either,
The enemy's a fighter pilot,
In a speed race, we're eventually going to lose,
Stanley is too fast for me,
And I'm gonna take advantage of that fact!
A break turn?!
Excellent!
There's no such thing as slamming the brakes in the air!
Especially not in primitive planes!
If he can get Stanley to overshoot and overtake them,,,
They instantly have the upper hand!
They're on his six, and they can get a lock!
We're on his ass!
Stanley's,,,
gone?!
Heya, youth science team,
Is this your first time seeing this?
H-He,,,
He makes a sharp ascent to rapidly slow himself down,
and forces himself inside the enemy's turn!
And then he makes a quick descent to accelerate!
He can catch up in an instant and get behind them!
Because of the yo-yo motion, it's called
the high-speed yo-yo maneuver!
Damn it,,,
That's some OP shit for such a basic plane,
I want that,
Stanley, I want your technique!
Your skill!
He's right behind them!
This is bad!
He's in range to shoot them down!
Dogfighting is a continuous high-speed negotiation of speed, altitude, and energy,
It's 3-D chess,
No beginner would ever stand a chance,
Locked on,
It's over,
Sorry, but I'm gonna have to kill you now, youth science team,
I'll see you in Hell,
I appreciate it, Stanley!
We'd have never had an opportunity to risk our lives pulling an aerial stunt
if you hadn't put us in a do-or-die situation!
I want your beautiful techniques,,, your skill!
Impossible!
Now they're suddenly flying straight up?!
The cobra maneuver!
It can't be!
On such a primitive plane?
They're going to stall and crash!
I know that engine's limits,
There's no way it has enough power to right itself,
How?!
Yup, it ten billion percent doesn't have enough power,
Not with just your petro fuel,
For the finishing,,,
We're using castor beans,
Castor oil is super high-quality engine oil,
We don't get insane amounts of oil like you do in the Americas,
Our broke-ass nation of Japan came up with it out of sheer desperation,
It's a tag team between my right-arm gaming skill,,,
and your science, Senku,
We've got one shot to turn it around,
'Sup, Stanley?
It's our turn,
Locked on!
Jinking!
What's that?
Stanley's rocking his plane violently on purpose!
I can't hit him!
I'm sure you can!
You can do it, Senku and Ryusui!
I'll be cheering for you from here where it's safe,
Shoot 'em down, and the sky is ours!
And if we can't shoot him down,
we're gonna be the ones getting shot from above,
P-Please win!
You've got this!
Such a flashy aerial battle,
Everyone naturally has their attention focused upward,
Which is why we must pay heed to the ground,
"Which is why we must pay heed to the ground,"
There may be some cautious boys and girls who think that way,
But, oh, how sad,
We're way ahead of your imaginations,
Allow me to present to you,,,
our 21st century world
and its elegant science,
What the heck?!
A submarine?!
No way!
Hands behind your heads and get on the floor, brats!
I'll shoot anyone who moves!
Clear!
Hey, Luna,
And neutralized in ten seconds,
Mind if I sing?
Don't,
It appears we've neutralized the kids' base,
A-A submarine brigade,,, Seriously?
Science versus science,
It's a game of new world chess for the throne, and,,,
We've won overwhelmingly,
The fight for air superiority isn't all about fighting in the sky,
Sorry, kids,
Hold down the landing spot for your plane,,,
Take over Momma, and we win,
He's jinking us spectacularly,
Only because we let him,
We even whipped out our fake machine gun for that purpose,
This is a battle of science,
Stanley is trading his speed for rocking motions,
Which means that, for just this instant, he's ten billion percent slower,
I see!
Senku-kun's plane is rising all of a sudden!
Why?!
Normally, ascending would slow you down,
But for this instant, while Stanley is slowing down, we can get right above him!
What is this?
Why are they right above me after they had a lock on me?
It makes no sense!
It makes no sense,,,
You're right,
It makes no sense by the old world rules that you're familiar with,
But,,,
In this new world, we have to make our own rules!
Humanity's first dogfight involved
stupidly primitive shit like throwing tools at each other,
We can take this fight to a slightly more scientific level,
Acetylene gas is an engine's worst nightmare,
Take it in, and it'll stall, ten billion percent,
Get a good taste!
Get carpet bombed by our homemade acetylene gas!
Stanley,,,
You were too familiar with the old rules,
There's still someone in the ship!
A machine gun, was it?
That's your best short-range weapon, isn't it?
You must have thought everyone's supposed to piss themselves
and surrender when they see that,
I don't think that's gonna work on us, the island warrior tag team,
We don't even know what that thing does,
What are you doing here?
Why aren't you at your post?
Is this a thing?
Fighting a machine gun with a knife and spear?
Aren't they scared?
I like this Kudayari,
It has reach,
That was the first time in my life that I'd ever trained for anything,
Meet at the top of the stairs!
Grenades!
An area attack, like the petrification weapon,
You have no idea how much I perfected my response
to those vile weapons hundreds of years ago,
Nice,
A marriage of modern and ancient techniques,
Shit!
Stop it!
Do you have any idea how many people you'd kill in this tight space?
You're gonna kill some cute girls, You're lacking manpower,
You're gonna want some living slaves,
So you can't afford to take risks,
Right?
But we're fine taking risks,
What a slimeball!
He's so selfish and strong, yet so calculating,
He's pure scum as an enemy, but he makes an exceptionally good ally,
Now, take it easy, all of you,
Look,
The dogfight's already over,
All right!
I fed acetylene gas into the enemy's engine,
We've taken down Stanley!
You didn't just,,,
Yup,
Our plane ate it, too,
Senku, can you make it?
Don't mind me,
There's the enemy plane, Let's capture it immediat—
Stanley missed? At this range?
Who the hell are you?
You aren't Stanley Snyder, are you?
That's right,
If I were the real Stanley, I never would have missed,
I'd have taken you down in a single shot!
You'd have hidden in your ship if you'd known a god-tier sniper was waiting for you,
And then neutralizing you would have been a pain in the ass,
All right, it's over,
No more playing hide-and-seek,
The star of the show is here,
I've caught all of them,
My job's done,
The most powerful knight makes an elegant move!
That's checkmate!
Yeah,
The most powerful knight has us checkmated,
On both sides,
