Dr. STONE (Dr.STONE)

One day, a very long time ago,

there was a strange flash of light.

It appeared suddenly, out of nowhere,

covering the entire world.

In the blink of an eye,

that wave of light turned every man, woman, and child to stone.

Afterwards, everything began to collapse.

Buildings decayed into rubble,

and over time, all traces of civilization disappeared.

What humanity had spent millennia building

was gone forever.

What a shame!

However, there was one man who refused to give up.

Though he was petrified, he never lost consciousness.

He figured that the date and time

were far too important to lose track of,

so he stayed awake, counting the seconds one by one.

He's one ad-bay dude!

That man, you know him. It's our friend, Senku!

And one summer day,

thousands of years after humankind was petrified,

Senku woke up, all alone.

He found himself in an empty, primitive Earth.

Now, I probably would've just died

from shock right then and there,

but since Senku is a brilliant scientist with an amazing mind,

he figured out how to make his own food, clothing, and shelter.

Eventually, he developed the miracle fluid

that could undo the petrification.

Senku is so awesome!

I want to be just like him!

Wow. You kids certainly do love him, don't you?

I know, let's hear a word from our antastic-fay leader.

He must have some wisdom to share.

Well, Senku?

What can I say, that was absolutely riveting.

I mean, how could I hope to top all of that?

Your super stone world foundation story was epic.

Just trying to hold back my tears.

So, Gen, maybe you should quit running your mouth

and put your hands to work.

Got me. I admit, I was procrastinating a bit.

Anyway, before long, he used the miracle fluid

to bring back this super tough guy named Tsukasa.

We live in the stone world now--

a paradise that hasn't been ruined by greed.

I think we should only revive the young and pure-hearted,

and make sure that we keep this world natural

and not owned by anyone.

This is our chance to purify humanity.

Don't you agree with me, Senku?

No, I don't. That speech didn't move me one millimeter.

I'm going use the awesome power of science

to rescue every last person.

To put it lightly, this was an ajor-may disagreement.

So, while Tsukasa is all like, "Let's build a new world!"

and revived the strongest people to join him,

Senku decided to build a kingdom of science

right here in this village in order to fight him.

The kingdom of science rules!

Tsukasa stinks!

By the way, Senku,

the reason we worked so quickly on the cell phone

was so we could execute a preemptive strike on Tsukasa.

We should get moving soon, right?

Spring's around the corner and they're gonna come knocking,

so what's next?

What's next?

Well, we gotta finish our ridiculously awesome

science project and make this super item.

And what is this super item?

It's gonna take agility and speed

to defeat the Tsukasa empire.

That's why we'll need plenty of humanity's

greatest survival science creation.

We're whippin' up some space food!

--Huh? --Space food?

What's that?

Yep, here we go again!

Senku's got another craft

that could never exist in the stone world.

So, what is "space"? I was wondering.

Up there. It's that bad place way, way above the sky!

Woo-hoo!

I'm starting to get excited again.

I can barely contain myself!

But it's just food, though, right?

Kinda. But with an upgrade.

We're making our favorite foxtail millet ramen

battle ready.

Ooh, me! I can help you, Senku!

I want ramen so bad right now! Really! Like, super bad!

Ginro, calm down, this is serious.

Okay, but why do we need this, uh,

"space ramen" for the battle?

Is the plan of attack to launch lots of steaming hot bowls of it

at the enemy?

Good guess, but I doubt it's that, Father.

Ah!

There isn't any gravity way up in space--

not to mention any room or time to sit down for a meal.

This stuff is quick to prepare and mega-nutritious.

It's also small, light, and ultra-portable.

I'm talking about the ridiculously

well-thought-out scientific delicacy that is space food.

I see.

Tsukasa won't attack in the winter

partly because he wants more men,

but that's not the only reason for him to wait.

It's a pretty obvious problem.

In this stone world,

an ice-cold winter battlefield is a frozen version of hell.

But to us, that's just another hurdle

we can clear by using science.

Once we develop a warm, proper meal

that we can prepare instantly,

then we'll have a ten billion percent advantage.

A winter battle's ultimate weapon.

Warm science food is gonna keep us powered up.

It'll give our bodies and our spirits the boost we need!

Space food sounds baad!

This is it, the final super item we need

for our attack on the Tsukasa empire.

Let's get started!

Ha! Leave it to us to make the ramen, Senku!

Now that everyone in the village has come together,

we can be more efficient than ever before.

Yeah! The maker team's gotta keep up with you,

so we're gonna have to build some kinda machine

to turn regular ramen into space ramen!

How will that work, exactly? Looks like you have a plan.

We're gonna vacuum the ramen.

Take all the air out, just like before.

Ah! Like when we built the cell phones.

Those vacuum tubes were a real pain in the neck.

Wait, did you say vacuum the ramen? I'm lost.

Okay, this batch of ramen is done!

Now, we just gotta put it in some bowls and soup's on!

Not true. That won't be necessary.

We're gonna be freezing it all solid.

It's cold,

so why do we have to freeze all this delicious ramen?

The rules are the rules.

Stop your whining and get to work, Ginro!

So this is space ramen?

Not quite. It's just frozen right now.

The goal is to lighten the hell outta this stuff

so our troops can be super well-fed while on the go.

You want to "lighten the ramen"?

You mean--?

Oh, yeah. You know it.

We're making cup noodles.

This'll be the birth of freeze- dried food in the stone world.

Freeze-dried, huh?

I mean, I've heard of it, of course,

but how exactly are we supposed to do that?

Just like it sounds.

By literally freezing it and then drying it.

That's really all there is to it.

When you freeze food, the moisture inside turns to ice.

Yeah, obviously. I get that part. So then what?

Then, you put the frozen food in a vacuum,

and the total lack of air in the environment

will sublimate the ice.

Poof! Turning it directly into vapor.

Thus, completely drying out the food,

which makes it ultra-tiny and lightweight.

All this stuff is way too complicated for me.

So how exactly do we pull off the "poof" part?

Well, that's where the maker team comes in.

Ha-ha! Our team's done it again!

Yo, check this!

We went through hell to make our water wheel before,

but we were able to use it here

to power our freeze-drying machine!

I'm impressed, Chrome and Kaseki, way to go!

Everything we have is made by using things

we all built together with Senku.

Yeah. That's the same thing humanity did.

Working away for thousands and thousands of years.

That's science.

Feast your eyes, everyone! Freeze-dried ramen acquired!

Hell yeah! Hold on, what is that stuff?

Well, it does look small and lightweight.

But, uh, it looks totally disgusting.

Like it's all tough and spongy.

Yeah? Just watch.

Can you actually eat that, though?

Fine, I'll be the guinea pig!

Science users are naturally brave people.

We're not afraid to try out new things.

You've said something like that before.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure you just wanna

eat the ramen before we do.

So good!

So bad!

And I mean that in the best way possible--

it's so steamy and delicious!

Here ya go.

Can hardly believe I can fight with one hand
