Ep. 8: Xeno establishes a base in California while Senku evades Stanley’s sniper fire on the Perseus.
Aired on February 27, 2025
Xeno escapes petrification using nitric acid derived from bat guano, then awakens Stanley and his team to relocate to northern California. There, he sets up a Haber-Bosch facility to pursue global dominance. Meanwhile, aboard the Perseus, Luna signals Senku’s location to Stanley by mouthing his name, which Ryusui observes with growing suspicion. Stanley’s team detects radio interference, revealing a nearby sniping unit. Xeno identifies Senku as the true scientist by analyzing voice recordings and calculating his height. With time running out, Senku creates a makeshift bulletproof vest from starch and water. Despite hiding, Stanley calculates Senku’s position on the ship and fires, striking him while he holds the protective bag.
