In "Science Vessel Perseus" ("Wissenschaftsschiff Perseus"), Senku and his friends face a difficult situation as they attempt to build a ship for their upcoming journey. However, when structural issues are discovered and the threat of the mysterious Why-Man looms, the team must adapt to the situation and make critical decisions.

The episode begins with Chrome's excitement over the nearly completed ship, but then Kaseki reveals complications with the hull's alignment. Senku initially seems unfazed but soon recognizes the urgency of the situation and decides to abandon the ship idea. Instead, he proposes building a smaller yacht that requires fewer crew members. Ryuusui, however, suggests constructing a smaller ship model to serve as a reference for Kaseki.

With winter preventing further work, the group enjoys snowboarding, and Senku creates a chocolate substitute. After a year of tireless effort, they finally complete the ship on September 10, 5741 A.D., christening it the Science Vessel Perseus.

Senku and Ryuusui divide their group into two teams: the World Exploration Team and the Humanity Development Team, which will remain behind. The exploration team includes Ryuusui, Senku, Chrome, Kaseki, Yuzuriha, Ukyo, Francois, Kohaku, Nikki, Taiju, Yo, Magma, Kinro, Gen, and several others, as well as the imprisoned Hyoga and Homura.

As they prepare to depart, Ginro, who initially hesitated, decides at the last moment to join the exploration team. Senku then reveals that their first destination is not some distant land but Treasure Island, where his father and the surviving astronauts first landed.
