1
That day, everyone in the world turned to stone.
2
Listen up, Senku!
3
I've made up my mind.
4
I'm going to confess the feelings I've had for Yuzuriha for the past five years!
5
Yeah? Well, that sure does sound interesting.
6
I'll be cheering for you so hard that my vocal cords snap.
7
From here in this science lab.
8
You will? Thanks, Senku!
9
Shut up. I'm not cheering one millimeter for you, you big oaf.
10
What?! Make up your mind!
11
And you haven't said anything for five years?
12
How illogical can you be, idiot?
13
I've got something for you that's logical as hell.
14
A drug that'll stimulate your pheromone output to the max.
15
A love potion, if you will.
16
Take this, and you're set, ten billion percent.
17
Thanks, Senku, but sorry.
18
I can't rely on cheap tricks.
19
Seriously, Senku?
20
A love potion?
21
Like those even exist.
22
It's just gasoline.
23
I refined it from plastic bottle caps.
24
Think about the molecular structure of polyethylene, moron.
25
It's just a long gasoline molecule with a few hydrocarbons chopped off.
26
You can tell by looking at it.
27
Uh, no, I can't.
28
No way. So... wouldn't Taiju-kun have died if he drank it?
29
I was ten billion percent sure he wouldn't drink it.
30
Not that strait-laced idiot.
31
Yuzuriha! Sorry to keep you waiting.
32
So, what's up, Taiju-kun?
33
What did you want to tell me?
34
A hundred yen says he gets rejected.
35
Three hundred yen says he gets rejected hard.
36
Five hundred yen says he gets rejected at full power.
37
Ten thousand yen says he actually doesn't.
38
Seriously?!
39
I was afraid that by telling her how I feel, she wouldn't even be my friend anymore.
40
I've been a coward all this time.
41
Hear me out, Yuzuriha.
42
But today's the day.
43
For the past five years, I've...
44
What's that light?
45
Yuzuriha! Hang on to that camphor tree!
46
I don't know, but...
47
What's going on? It's so dark.
48
I can't move.
49
I can't speak... Someone help!
50
What's happening?!
51
Help... Help!
52
Help me... Mom, Dad...
53
Am I... going... to die?
54
I'm not dead!
55
I have to stay focused, or it'll suck me in.
56
Wake up, damn it!
57
Yuzuriha will be all right.
58
I'm sure she's safe.
59
I can't go down a coward.
60
I'm going to confess to Yuzuriha!
61
I'm going to survive by willpower alone!
62
Whether it's for weeks or months...
63
I'll tell her, no matter what!
64
How many decades has it been?
65
Centuries? Millennia?
66
Well, I'm not giving up.
67
I'm gonna tell Yuzuriha.
68
I'll survive, even if it kills me!
69
I broke out!
70
I broke free! Finally!
71
Stone fragments?
72
I see. So it did happen to everyone.
73
Just how much time has gone by?
74
I'm sorry. This is all I can do for you right now.
75
As long as the terrain hasn't changed too much, I should be able to follow the river back.
76
Back to that camphor tree...
77
Hey, something fell down.
78
A stone carving of a bird?
79
Whoever made this is amazing. Look at the detail on the wings.
80
It looks so real.
81
Maybe it is real.
82
My friend said he saw one like that somewhere else.
83
He posted a photo of it.
84
Poor thing...
85
It might be, like, a bird disease that makes its skin harden.
86
Weekdays Weekends, Holidays Hours of Operation Animal Advocacy Week No vet's office is going to be open before school hours even start.
87
You never think things through, do you?
88
Yuzuriha! Besides, there's no way that carving could be a real bird.
89
And you brought it to a vet?
90
You're so silly.
91
I'm embarrassed for you.
92
Of all the people to just happen to run into me when I'm in the middle of being a dolt...
93
Wait... Run into me?
94
Yup, and here's another embarrassing kid who didn't think things through.
95
Imagine that!
96
Shuei Animal Hospital Come on, stop laughing.
97
You did the same thing.
98
We're gonna be late for school now.
99
Yeah, you're right!
100
Yuzuriha. I'd never mistake you.
101
Even after thousands of years.
102
You've been alive all this time.
103
Good job staying alive!
104
Well done, camphor tree!
105
This whole time, you kept Yuzuriha from washing away and breaking apart!
106
I'm sorry I couldn't protect you.
107
Actually, you were the one who was protecting me, Yuzuriha.
108
It's because of you that I was able to stay alive all this time, alone in that hopeless darkness, for hundreds of years... thousands of years...
109
All right, I can finally say it.
110
Let me finish saying what I was about to say that day.
111
The rest of what I was saying on that day so long ago...
112
I've loved you...
113
for hundreds of years...
114
thousands of years...
115
I'm going to save you, Yuzuriha.
116
I have no idea how yet, but I will— Follow the river downstream, big oaf "Follow the river downstream, big oaf." So you're finally awake, you big oaf.
117
You're alive, Senku?!
118
Don't hug me while you're buck naked!
119
I'll kill you!
120
Today is October 5th, 5738.
121
You slept in for a hell of a long time.
122
I've been up and working for over six months already.
123
So it's been...
124
A good 3,700 years.
125
How can you tell exactly what day it is?
126
I just counted.
127
How else would I know?
128
Four, five, six, seven, eight...
129
Damn, I almost lost consciousness again.
130
I peak every 800,000 seconds or so.
131
I guess it's like when you have diarrhea.
132
Think and count at the same time.
133
Use your brain in parallel.
134
116,427,065,530 seconds.
135
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...
136
In that darkness?
137
The entire time?
138
Even if I could have awakened by sheer willpower, if I'd woken up naked in the winter, trying to find food would have been an instant game over.
139
Starting in the spring is a must for survival.
140
An accurate account of the time was information that I absolutely needed.
141
All right, we're here.
142
Time to stop blabbering and get to work.
143
Senku, did you...
144
Did you build this from scratch?
145
I don't have enough manpower.
146
Just producing the bare minimum to keep myself alive takes all day.
147
In order to rebuild civilization, I need a big, muscle-bound meathead.
148
I've been waiting for you this whole time, Taiju.
149
I was ten billion percent certain that you were alive.
150
There's no way a guy who was so intent on confessing to Yuzuriha would give in after just a few thousand years.
151
You aren't that weak.
152
Yeah. Of course I'm not.
153
I'm counting on you to do all the brainy stuff, Senku.
154
You can count on me to do the heavy lifting!
155
Humanity spent two million years getting from the stone age to the modern age.
156
We're going to sprint all the way back to the top.
157
I'm going to take the world back.
158
And I'll figure out the science behind the petrification and our revival.
159
I'm going to save Yuzuriha.
160
The two of us high school brats are going to build a civilization out of nothing.
161
We're going to become the Adam and Eve of this stone world.
162
This is exhilarating.
163
At least it's a huge haul, I guess.
164
What kind of cheat gave you that stamina?
165
Poisonous. Edible.
166
Poisonous. You can't tell this one's bad? It looks like it's right out of Mario.
167
Next. Edible.
168
Monkshood. Who is there to kill, you moron?
169
Yum! How did you season this?
170
It's just salt that I pulled from seawater.
171
Humans can enjoy just about anything with a pinch of salt.
172
It's important for pickling, too.
173
You could say it's primitive man's greatest discovery.
174
Thanks, Senku, for everything!
175
I'm going to make up for the thinking I can't do with brute force and diligence!
176
Time to scavenge the other side!
177
Hey, they're wild.
178
Are these edible?
179
Thinking won't help.
180
Eating some will!
181
I've seen him on TV before.
182
He's the "strongest primate high-schooler," Shishio Tsukasa.
183
It happened to him, too?
184
Look! Someone besides me and Senku has survived!
185
Who left this here?!
186
I did, idiot.
187
It was you?!
188
Are we the only humans left in the world?
189
We'll get more humans.
190
That's a top priority.
191
What future does humanity have with just us two dudes trudging on?
192
That's true.
193
Besides, why exactly were we freed from our petrification after 3,700 years?
194
The rock rotted?
195
Yeah. Supposing this weird mineral was corroded, isn't it suspicious that the two of us got out at almost the same time?
196
Only six months apart after 3,700 years.
197
There's a logical explanation behind every coincidence.
198
You and I both washed up near this cave.
199
Look at that stuff dripping from up there.
200
It's the miracle liquid made from bat guano...
201
Nitric acid.
202
What?! Nitric acid?!
203
What's that?!
204
I knew you'd say that, you big oaf.
205
I'm not gonna waste time even explaining the gist of it.
206
So you're saying this something-or-other acid corrodes the stone and revives them?
207
If only it were so simple.
208
I've been trying like a madman, using every method available to me.
209
So many times... So many dozens of times...
210
This is all in the realm of fantasy.
211
Is it mineral? Is it cellular?
212
I don't even have the equipment to find out anymore.
213
So there are things in this world that even science can't explain?
214
Here we go again with that tired cliché.
215
That's why you hypothesize and experiment over and over.
216
Science is a slow process.
217
If only I had liquor, though...
218
Ethanol Nitric acid With the alcohol in liquor, I could combine the nitric acid and ethanol to make nital.
219
It's literally an industrial-strength etching agent.
220
What did you just say, Senku?
221
Huh? I said nital.
222
It gets into the ferrite grain boundary and— Not that! I don't understand the brainy stuff.
223
But "If only I had liquor"?
224
Couldn't we make wine out of grapes?
225
Not bad, you big oaf!
226
Laboratory Okay, you can do all the grunt work from now on.
227
That makes more sense.
228
Laboratory Making wine couldn't be easier.
229
Crush grapes and raisins and stuff, put it in a container, and just mix it every day until it's done.
230
Though it would have been a crime to make liquor without a license back in our day.
231
Three weeks...
232
That should do it.
233
You know, Senku, this would count as underage drinking, though.
234
Not a problem.
235
We're well over 3,700 years old.
236
Oh, you're right!
237
It's better than I thought it'd be.
238
Though it's about ten billion times worse than what's on the market.
239
I never knew it was so easy to make with just grapes.
240
One step at a time.
241
Things are about to get a little more tedious, though.
242
Distilling Wine for Dummies, starting with brandy.
243
Distilling, huh?
244
No idea what that means!
245
I knew you'd say that.
246
Heat it, cool it, drip it.
247
That concentrates the alcohol.
248
Don't worry. People in the Mesopotamian Civilization were doing it in 3000 B.C. using clay pots.
249
There's nothing you can't do if you try.
250
This is exhilarating.
251
Let me teach you, big oaf...
252
It's not that there are things that science can't explain.
253
You look for the rules behind those things.
254
Science is just the name for the steady, pain-in-the-ass effort that goes into doing it.
255
One year since I started experimenting...
256
It didn't take as long as I thought.
257
It's a slow but steady effort.
258
I'm going to beat fantasy with science.
259
This is exhilarating.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
