At the beginning of the episode, Senku announces his ambitious goal of flying to the moon, leaving the team in awe. They are aware of the enormous task ahead, but Senku assures them they will tackle it step by step, just as they always have.
The team begins reviving the petrified people on the island, including both allies and former enemies. Matsukaze, a figure from the past, is particularly amazed by the power of science, which he compares to magic. He shares his knowledge about the petrification devices and reveals that all but one were destroyed on his master's orders. Senku then explains his plan to turn the island into an ally of the Kingdom of Science. He emphasizes the importance of giving the islanders the choice to join his cause willingly. This approach is key to securing the manpower needed for the moon mission. Soyuz, who feels a duty to his father and the island, decides to stay and help rebuild the community. He promises to revive the villagers using the revival fluid.
This episode also showcases the wonders of science to the islanders, including a spectacular fireworks display. This demonstration is not just a celebration but also a strategic move to win their support.
Senku plans to revive Shishio Tsukasa, as he could play a crucial role in their mission. This decision marks a turning point, as Tsukasa was once a feared enemy.
The episode ends with the team preparing for the next phase of their journey, gathering resources and allies for the unprecedented challenge of traveling to the moon. Tsukasa’s revival sets the stage for a new dynamic and new possibilities in the search for the "Why-Man."
