The narrative centers on the revival of Ryusui Nanami, a skilled sailor and the heir to the Nanami Corporation, a powerful conglomerate in the pre-petrification world. Ryusui's expertise in navigation and shipbuilding is crucial for the Kingdom of Science to expand its reach and acquire the necessary materials for further scientific advancements.

The dynamic between Ryusui and Senku is a focal point, showcasing their contrasting personalities and shared determination to rebuild civilization. Ryusui's flamboyant and self-assured demeanor contrasts with Senku's pragmatic and methodical approach, creating a compelling partnership.
As the shipbuilding progresses, the episode emphasizes the importance of teamwork and resourcefulness. The characters face various obstacles, including the scarcity of materials and the need to adapt to the primitive conditions of the petrified world. The revival of Francois adds another layer of expertise to the team, further enhancing their capabilities.
