Ep. 7: Senku recalls childhood rocket attempts with Xeno and NASA before the petrification event.
Aired on February 20, 2025
Senku remembers his childhood efforts to build a rocket with Taiju, seeking NASA help after a failure. While most scientists refused, twenty-year-old Xeno provided instructions and materials, which Senku purchased using his father Byakuya’s government credit card. Simultaneously, Xeno faced rejections at NASA, fostering bitterness. When Byakuya proposed a hypothetical stone world, Xeno declared he would rule with an iron fist. On the eve of petrification, both analyzed petrified swallows, discovering they retained consciousness. Xeno ordered Stanley, Luna, and others to stay awake. Anticipating a need for corn, Senku and Xeno planned a trip to California before the wave hit, only to awaken together later.
