Aired on January 30, 2025
After an aerial attack, Senku disables the enemy aircraft using an acetylene gas grenade provided to Kirisame. The scouting team recovers the crashed plane, leading Senku and Ryusui to commandeer it for tactical advantage. Examination of the wreckage reveals corn kernels, suggesting a nearby cornfield runway. Senku dispatches Gen, Chrome, and Kohaku to locate the site. Suspecting a trap, Gen proceeds alone, leaving flower petals as markers for his companions. He is captured by Stanley Snider and brought before Dr. Xeno, leader of the American colony. During interrogation, Xeno demands the identity of their scientist leader. To protect Senku, Gen falsely claims that Taiju holds this position, deceiving the antagonist.
