Ep. 2: Senku and Taiju revive Tsukasa to fight lions, sparking ideological conflict over reviving humanity.

Senku and Taiju prepare sufficient revival fluid to free one individual, initially intending to restore Yuzuriha. Their plans shift when hungry lions attack, prompting them to revive Tsukasa Shishio, the school’s strongest fighter, to defend them. Tsukasa kills a male lion and uses its skin for clothing, proving his value as a hunter who provides food for the group. Meanwhile, Senku tasks Taiju with harvesting seashells to produce calcium carbonate, marking an early step in rebuilding civilization. However, tensions rise when Tsukasa confesses his plan to execute petrified humans to eliminate corrupt adults, directly opposing Senku’s goal of reviving everyone. This revelation highlights a fundamental clash between their visions for the new world, setting the stage for future conflict between their differing ideologies and methods.
