361"New World Map"Tomomi IkedaShinji TakagiApril 6, 2023 (2023-04-06)June 4, 2023[6]
Returning from their balloon flight Senku reveals to Ryusui his plan to construct an oil-powered ship to reach the source of the petrification ray, South America. Before that, they must successfully locate the still existing Sagara Oil Field. Ryusui enthusiastically agrees to help navigate as ship's captain. Realizing their journey across the ocean will require tons of preserved food they use their balloon and search teams on the ground to locate cedar trees for shipbuilding, wild animal herds for hunting, and an entire valley of wheat to make flour. To increase food production Senku introduces crop farming, freeing the village from their reliance on foraging. Taiju, Magma, and Yo take to farming with particular enthusiasm as more food means they can afford to free more statues from petrification. In the post-credits, Senku's first attempt to bake bread is so bad it is practically poisonous. So he and Ryusui agree they must find a professional chef and free them from petrification immediately.

Senku reveals they have run out of revival-fluid, but Ryusui correctly deduces that journalist Minami hid one person’s worth of fluid, so Gen makes a secret deal with her to get it back. At Ryusui's direction, they locate and revive Francois, Ryusui's own butler/chef of indeterminate gender and nationality. As a professional Francois is unconcerned by 3,700 years having passed and gets to work producing Stollen, a Christmas sweet bread containing butter, nuts, fruit, and alcohol that can stay edible for a whole year. Minami demands Senku fulfill her deal with Gen so, working with Kaseki and Chrome, Senku recreates a daguerreotype, the world's first primitive camera. Minami swears to photograph every stage of Senku reviving civilization. Senku also plans to use aerial photography in their search for the oil field. Ryusui surprises everyone by agreeing the historic first photograph should be of Senku. After much arguing, Senku agrees to be photographed, but only in a very specific pose.

Despite the aerial photographs the oil field remains hidden. Autumn arrives so the wheat is harvested. Francois plans a gourmet celebration dinner, so Kohaku gathers Japanese boar piglets to raise on the farm for meat. While searching the photographs for a good spot to forage truffles, Kohaku accidentally locates the general location of the oil field. When they still cannot locate the oil, Senku remembers the Sagara Oil Field was originally discovered by Japanese boars bathing in oil-soaked mud. Managing to stop Francois in time they instead use the boars as sniffer-boars who lead them directly to the oil. Suika adopts a Japanese boar as a pet, naming it Sagara. After processing oil into gasoline, Senku builds a rudimentary engine-powered speedboat, allowing them to visit the ocean. Chrome begins to realize just how big the world is. Senku announces his next goal, to create a GPS powered by a massive radio tower and Senku's wireless telephone. At Ginro's urging, Ruri almost uses the system to confess to Chrome. Unfortunately, it is interrupted by another signal. With his enhanced hearing, Ukyo confirms the signal is coming from a second functional radio tower, meaning other humans are alive somewhere on the planet, endlessly broadcasting the question "WHY?".

The existence of Why-Man is heavily debated as he may be a new enemy. Senku immediately crafts Scientific Eyes, using glass coated in sphalerite and the electricity channeling power of crystals he creates a rudimentary cathode-ray tube television screen, which when connected to the radio tower becomes a radar/sonar to accurately pinpoint targets over vast distances, even underwater. Testing the sonar, Chrome is astounded it can even find fish, a welcome bonus for the upcoming voyage. The next issue arises in the form of an engine big enough for a ship will requires tonnes of iron. Surprisingly, it is Chrome who solves the issue using what he learned from Senku he connects an electromagnet to the radar and spontaneously reinvents the metal detector. Locating an iron deposit in a cave mile from the village, they begin mining with Senku declaring they have reached the Industrial Revolution. Senku uses a petrol by-product plus gravel to make asphalt concrete, allowing iron to be driven from the mine to the river by a paved road where Ryusui then sails it to the village. Under Senku and Kaseki's expertise, the minecarts are designed to make mining the iron even easier.

Even with Kaseki’s skills the ship proves impossible to assemble accurately. Ryusui recreates a scale model of a ship, allowing Senku to use a pantograph to accurately copy the ship pieces to the accurate size and shapes. Ship construction begins running smoothly but the engine requires Senku’s absolute focus during its construction as a single mistake could cause an explosion. Almost a year later the ship is finished. As it may be the last time they are all together Minami insists on a commemorative photograph to mark the launching of the ship Perseus on the 10th of September, 5741 AD. After careful consideration the Perseus’ crew is made up of Ryusui, Senku, Chrome, Kaseki, Yuzuriha, Ukyo, Francois, Kohaku, Magma, Taiju, Nikki, Yo, Gen and Kinro. As they are too dangerous to leave behind Senku brings Hyoga and Homura in the ship's brig. Ginro fakes bravery by pretending to swim after the ship, hoping to impress Ruri, only to be hauled aboard by Taiju, dooming him to join the crew. Before starting the voyage to South America Senku intends to find the island where his father Byakuya returned to earth with the other astronauts and locate something vital for their mission, the crashed Soyuz rocket.
416"Treasure Box"Satoshi KosakaShinji TakagiMay 11, 2023 (2023-05-11)July 23, 2023[lower-alpha 5]
Senku reveals the Soyuz, the birthplace of the Hundred Tales, will help produce enough revival fluid for the whole planet. Senku had noticed a lot of villagers were named after ores (Magma, Chrome, Kohaku, Kin) and deduced from one of the Tales that Byakuya left a stash of valuable ores in the Soyuz, including platinum, a catalyst that can produce the nitric acid that gives the revival fluid its power. One of the crew, No-Name, abruptly reveals he is not a native of Ishigami village, he was found and adopted; his real name is Soyuz, and he comes from another village of astronaut descendants that live on the island with the crashed rocket. Everyone is happy but also nervous in case these distant cousins of theirs are hostile or may even be Why-man. Many villagers become seasick, so Senku extracts a seasickness medicine, scopolamine, from the flower devil's trumpet. A storm hits, providing an opportunity to sail close to the island and use Senku’s technology to determine if the locals are hostile. As they approach Soyuz is overjoyed to finally see where he was born.

The crew send Senku, Soyuz, Kohaku and Gen to find the islanders. Ryusui finds Suika stowed away on the ship. Ukyo and Ginro find statues underwater and realise they couldn't be from the petrification event 3700 years since the island was uninhabited before the astronauts arrived, so these statues were petrified much later. Losing radio contact Soyuz and Gen find everyone on board petrified into statues, except for Suika whom Ryusui saved by throwing her overboard. The shock causes Soyuz to remember he and his parents left the island to escape something. Finding evidence of foraging Senku and Gen use forensics and psychological profiling to determine it is a young girl of average height with dark hair who lives by the mountains. They soon spot the girl, Amaryllis, and determine from her conversation she is engaged to marry an anonymous Master who uses petrification. Senku openly approaches Amaryllis who is amazed to see other people. A sudden commotion takes them to Amaryllis village where a mob plans to rebel against the Master. For their own safety Senku incapacitates them with chloroacetone, aka World War 1 tear gas. Seeing Senku’s “sorcery” Amaryllis begs them to defeat the Master in exchange for the secret of petrification.

5 years previously Amaryllis attempted to leave the island with her friends, but they were caught by guards Moz and Kirisame, who petrified and threw them into the ocean. Amaryllis avoided the weapons light by inches. Amaryllis has been plotting all these years to marry the Master and steal the weapon. Senku is glad to confirm it is a weapon and not magic since weapons follow scientific principles and can be defeated. As the Master only marries the cutest girl Kohaku volunteers as she stands the best chance of stealing the weapon. Amaryllis donates a dress but to make makeup Senku requires the mobile lab from the ship, which has now been captured by the Masters Minister Ibara. Seeing Ibara smashing the crew statues Kohaku flies into a rage and fights Kirisame while shouting for the mobile lab. Kirisame has never heard of a lab so Gen convinces her Senku is her boyfriend Lab, embarrassing Kirisame into leaving. Miraculously, both Ginro and Suika had survived due to Ukyo shooting the weapon slightly off target. Ginro is unanimously written off as useless by everyone, but Suika, having heard Kohaku shouting, is determined to get the lab off the ship to Senku.

Ginro attempts to flee the ship from cowardice but when he sees Suika bravely creating a distraction he is guilted into helping tip the lab overboard and reunite with Senku. To throw off the guards Senku convinces them the lab was a giant animal by combining sulfur with amine from rotten shellfish and skatole from jasmine to create the smell of dung. Hiding the lab in a cave Senku makes shampoo by mixing coconut oil with salt, sodium hydroxide and sulphuric acid, hair conditioner from coconut oil, honey and lemon, makeup from coconut oil with crushed mica and other coloured rocks, lipstick from coconut oil, honey and crushed insects, and perfume from lemon, jasmine and vanilla. Kohaku is transformed from wild gorilla to cute beauty. To increase their chances Amaryllis uses the makeup to disguise Ginro as a cute girl too. Ibara selects all three of them and a dozen other girls to be presented to the Master for choosing. Moz narrowly prevents Kohaku from breaking the oblivious Ibara’s fingers and, excited by her secret strength, promises to fight her himself when she causes trouble at the palace. Senku begins plotting how to steal the petrification weapon.
4510"Science Wars"Harume KosakaSatoshi ShimizuJune 8, 2023 (2023-06-08)August 20, 2023
Senku is revealed to have disguised a Rochelle salt sound transmitting crystal and a copper wire antenna as an earring, allowing him to send instructions from his wireless telephone into Kohaku’s ear, though she can’t send replies. As only Kirisame has been seen using the weapon Senku plans to steal it when Kirisame throws it into the air to activate it. For that, he intends to recreate the radio controlled drone by combining a bamboo frame with four plastic propellers and electromagnetically powered motors controlled by radio signals. Inside the citadel of interconnected tree houses Kohaku sneaks around and finds something important. They are informed by an elder wife they must train for a week before meeting the Master. Senku manages to send a basic radio controlled car to Kohaku so she can send back a written message. As none of them have learned to write yet Kohaku sends Senku a confusing drawing. Using all his mentalist tricks Gen puts himself in Kohaku’s mind; illiterate but smart with basic science knowledge and limited time to actually make the drawing. Eventually Senku deduces a sentence; “We found platinum”, confirming the Soyuz capsule is inside the citadel.

Kohaku confirms the capsule is buried under the citadel’s largest tree, protected by another concrete shell, which she cannot break open without alerting guards. Senku, having deduced Byakuya would preserve the capsule using concrete, decides to send Kohaku a silent bomb. By mixing diluted sulphuric acid with anhydrite he creates expanding plaster which, when inserted into holes in the concrete, forcibly expands and cracks the concrete open from the inside. Kohaku finds a glass bottle she accidentally breaks but sends the powder it contained to Senku on the toy cars. It turns out to be mostly gold dust, but Senku is able to find an entire test tube worth of pure platinum. Given platinum's rarity Senku realises Byakuya must have spent decades dredging rivers to collect it for him; confirmed by flashbacks that Byakuya continued obsessively collecting it until his death of extreme old age, while still dredging a river. His children and grandchildren would then seal the bottle in the Soyuz per his wishes. Senku is beyond grateful for Byakuya’s sacrifice and, determined not to waste it, gets to work producing the nitric acid for more revival fluid. Ibara finds the Soyuz and realises an enemy has infiltrated the citadel. Senku’s first goal is to rescue his petrified friends on the Perseus.

To improve his drone Senku decides to revive Kaseki first but realises guards are throwing all their friends smashed statues into the ocean. This means they will first require Ryusui to dive and retrieve them. Ibara has taken Ryusui to the citadel and begins smashing him to pieces, hoping to provoke enemy infiltrators to reveal themselves. Kohaku diverts suspicion by destroying Ryusui herself, knowing he can be revived as long as he is rebuilt first. They send the pieces to Senku on the radio cars, allowing Ryusui to be rebuilt and revived. Due to the ocean depth Senku creates scuba gear by borrowing steam pipes off the mobile lab, though it will only hold 10 minutes of air. Ryusui and Soyuz dive and locate Kaseki hopelessly buried in the sand. With only 4 minutes of air left Ryusui realises they need brute strength, so by morse code he asks for revival fluid from Senku and performs an emergency underwater revival on Taiju. Despite only having one breath of air Taiju grasps the situation and tears Kaseki free of the sand, making it to the surface with only seconds to spare.

Taiju begins freediving to retrieve the statues. Kaseki is revived and with his help Senku makes the drone propeller by coating feathers in plastic attached to a fidget spinner. Taiju collects all the statues, including an extra statue that has been petrified for years. In the citadel Ginro is chosen to marry the Master. Moz deduces Kohaku is the infiltrator. Terrified of the Masters impending molestation Ginro decides to use a gas bomb Senku made from vinegar, alcohol and sulphuric acid to cause the Master intense mental confusion. Entering the Master’s room Ginro encounters Ibara who insists all girls traditionally must satisfy him first before marrying the Master. Exposed, Kohaku begins fighting Moz. Ginro neutralises Ibara with the gas and discovers the Master was petrified years ago so Ibara could secretly take over. Moz is attracted to Kohaku for her beauty and strength and is irritated she rejects him for lacking honour. Ginro is fatally stabbed by Ibara but manages to tell Kohaku the Master was almost certainly Soyuz’ father. To save his life Kohaku provokes Kirisame into petrifying them both, trusting Senku to find and revive them. As the weapon activates Kohaku sees it clearly for the first time, a complex scientific device she dubs the Medusa, from a story Senku told her of the mythical greek monster.

Senku begins reviving the rest of the crew just as Amaryllis arrives with news of Kohaku and Ginro’s petrification and that Soyuz is likely the Master’s son. Senku and the others deduce there is only one Medusa weapon, but due to the range of its attack it risks petrifying the one who activates it, hence why Ibara daren’t use it himself and forces Kirisame to instead. This also means Kirisame isn’t aware the Master is petrified or how evil Ibara really is. Moz appears in the cave at that moment but in a moment of extremely rapid deduction everyone realises Moz knew Kohaku and Ginro were intruders yet never told Ibara, meaning Moz is secretly Ibara’s enemy. Using every mentalist trick he knows Gen has Moz admit he wants to kill Ibara and rule himself, but only fear of petrification has stopped him. Moz agrees to help defeat Ibara but only if he can keep Medusa and become the new Master. They outfit Moz with his own sound transmitting earring as he returns to the citadel. Needing Ibara worried enough to use the Medusa again Senku sends Moz a modern scientific spear so he can attack his own men disguised as a kingdom of science warrior.
