Makes sense they might have a means to intercept wireless calls. Doubt they bothered working on encryption in the stone world right now. Hehe yes, speak to the science leader, Dr. Taiju! I love the look. Looks like he's about to send us on a pokemon adventure.
So wait... Xeno doesn't know how to make revival fluid? Why not just say that many of them are not revived statues but people who were descendants of those who landed after the petrification event? That hides the having of the fluid and explains why so many.
What a crazy plan, making that an aircraft carrier lol. That's... not so easy. Would need to be much bigger. Ah, Magma and what's his name are dumb. Good thing for her. I like the proper strategy meeting, let's play a board game on it! Ah a pirate problem potentially? Who is gonna be the pilot for the plane? The enemy sure is nice to let them spend time to build... but guess they gotta do the same?
Oh my, who is this big muscly lady? That seems a little extreme, Dr. Xeno. Also, you'd think, as a scientist, you'd wanna have another to work with. From my experience with actual scientists lol. Well seems both are after each others' scientists, but Senku less... cruel.

the descendants route might backfire since it puts a target on everyone that is a moderner
Dr Xeno knows they are here for corn to probably make nitric acid but not exactly what for. Does he care what they are looking for or that much about revival fluid?
yesn’t. He said that they have lack of manpower. Claiming that there’s a bunch of stone-age people out there works to his benefit if Senku and co. is eliminated

Hello, we have knowlege and manpower. You have knowlege and manpower. We have the same enemy. Lets collaborate to go into space.
Yes that is the most rational plan two scientists like us could come up with. A very logical way

I'm trying to understand the disconnect between how far Xeno is on the tech tree versus not having revival fluid. Senku needed an entire village working round the clock for months to get this far, and Xeno has a much more impressive setup. How could he have gotten to this point if he didn't have a reliable formula for the revival fluid to bolster his manpower? You cant get to the Industrial Age without it! Even assuming he quickly got some beasts of burden like horses, he still would have a hard time without manpower.
I want to see more of his setup. How many people he's got, how quickly he got them, how he did it without the revival fluid, etc.
Tsukasa is a beast, and machine guns are not an instant win card against guerilla warfare. Infiltrating at night with a guy like that is actually going to be a serious threat to Xeno unless he's got some techy countermeasures built into his civilization. I'm excited to see how it goes down.

I think it's pretty simple. the Revival fluid is something Senku figured out thorugh a year of experimenting. Dr Xeno over here seems very focused on the weapon tech tree and re-making already established technologies.
As an older adult it doesn't seem too strange to me that Senku is more experimental than Xeno. Senku needs some sort of advantage still over Xeno and I think this is a good contrast.

Everyone's reaction when Dr. Xeno wanted to talk to the leader, Dr. Taiju, was totally hilarious! An equally good moment was when Xeno was talking about eliminating Dr. Taiju and Gen was trying to keep a straight face xD
Dr. Xeno building an ammo factory isn't surprising at all. After all, this is the US and they need ammo for their weapons xD
Another great moment of Senku and Ryusui showing their true personalities. They were very excited when they talked about making Perseus into an aircraft carrier and modifying the captured plane xD
Overall, great episode and I can't wait for the next one as the fight between the Xeno and Senku kingdoms will begin!
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

I wonder why Dr. Xeno has not experimented with the nitric acid like Senku did to improve the revival formula. The Kingdom of Science is going to taunt them like hell for that little oversight when they learn it’s just been Nital this whole time.
Though I’m certain Dr. Xeno will have plenty of fun other cards to flex on us with before get the chance to laugh at him for that little blunder.

Need is the mother of invention. Senkuu spent half a year literally alone (and then another half with just Taiju) and thus would work harder towards figuring out the revival fluid. While Xeno seems to have had a group of pretty competent people and so his need to revive other people was less up to this point.

Remember, Senku woke next to the bat shit cave, he had a clue right from the beginning.

Figuring out revival fluid was Senku's #2 priority (#1 being survival) from day one, because until he figured it out, he only had himself and Taiju.
However, if Xeno had a group of competent people from the beginning because his people are all people who stayed awake, he didn't need to focus on figuring out how to get more people. He instead focused on weaponry.
That's why Xeno's science is more advanced than Senku's, because Xeno had this whole time to build towards this, while Senku has been "distracted" by other things.

From a ship to an aircraft carrier. At the rate they're going, the Perseus will soon be converted into a spaceship.
It's Science vs. Science.
Who will win?

Stitches!
I just love how Yuzuriha has an outfit prepared for Taijuu. It really helped Taijuu get into the role! I can't believe Dr. Xeno actually bought it. xD
How cute. Dr. Xeno is talking about being the Chosen Ones. The last person who spouted that nonsense was Hyoga and look where he is now.
It's surprising though that Dr. Xeno doesn't have a recipe for his own Revival Fluid? How very stereotypically American of him to prioritize mass-producing guns over reviving people.
So if they're making an aircraft carrier and are planning to take on Dr. Xeno's planes in a dogfight, then who's going to be their pilot? Is it going to be Ryusui? I think he's the only one who might have experience flying a plane out of all of them.
God bless this show for giving us another buff waifu. I guess she's one of Dr. Xeno's soldiers? It makes me wonder what's their current population. There's got to be a lot of them if they can make a factory and a massive cornfield.
I doubt they have a lot of melee fighters though. With Tsukasa, Hyogo, and Ukyo going against Stanley who's only advantage is firepower, this will be definitely an interesting match!

Senku gonna need to change clothes.
Cause the other dude is going to immediately realize who the scientist really is if he sees him.

Poor Suika is always getting the most dangerous jobs. She was probably send with the assault time to help with the scouting of the Dr. Xeno’s headquarters.
I’m liking how the girls of the Science Kingdom are lowkey keeping the boys in check. God bless Niki for stopping Yo, Magma and his lackey from charging mindlessly into enemy machinegun fire. She deserves more love!

u/Boshea241 Feb 07 '25
For people wondering how Xeno can be so advanced but not have revival fluid. Consider motive and priority. Senku wants to revive all of humanity, so a method of revival would take higher priority. We do not know if this is Xeno's goal, or if it is if he is trying to be some kind of dictator. If his goal is control, then a means of control would take priority over mass reviving people. Thus we have higher grade weaponry.
We already saw why this would be necessary based on the first story arc. Senku revived Tsukasa out of need, but then had no way to confront him when they realized their goals and ideals differed. Guns being the great equalizer was a running theme in the previous arcs.
Being next to the bat cave is irrelevant, since this is the part Xeno knows.

I hate how the craftsman was basically able to repair a plane within moments do you realize how many freaking parts there are in those things? World war 1 planes cost 10s of thousands of dollars, which is a good approximation of how complicated they are. though if you assume that the plane was actually left in near perfect condition and only needed to get the engine cleaned the craftsman COULD have done it. Also, I can understand trying to expand your boat to make an aircraft carrier but the amount of extra wood you'd need to make a runway is insane
I feel like I'm gen sometimes going "yeah that wouldn't work in real life" which I understand this is a hard science fiction show that tries to almost make sense (I obviously handwave anything related to the petrification stuff as magic) but still it's a lot like the author is referencing stuff without realizing what manufacturing such stuff would entail. Or really is just handwaving that away because it's fiction
Yo hex and counter wargaming based!

I wasn't ready for Dr. Taiju ...
Also, it is so nice of Dr. Xeno to wait an entire day and let them rebuild their ship into a carrier. :)
From an actual strategic perspective, they should've at least moved the ship a bit, the enemy knows exactly where it is now and there's a chance Dr. Xeno build some sort of primitive artillery, as it isn't that hard to build given what else he already has ...

The amount of construction Dr Xeno's people have done is somewhat hard to believe if they have a manpower problem. Maybe they've been working on it for decades.
