    I think Mfauli isn't criticizing tropes per se, but that it being a trope doesn't make it okay for murderers to become allies.

    I thought the waiting to attack was also because of the gunpowder bluff. Tsukasa needs to revive more meat shields to take on guns.

    Hydro power is good, but not urgent, as they have very little to use electricity on currently (no pun intended). Sulfa drugs, however, were on a time crunch due to the dying onee-san.

    Still makes enough sense to me.

    *shrug*

    Senku is extremely pragmatic. Tsukasa's strength(and manpower) would be extremely useful to him if he can convince him to join him.

    Tsukasa IS a piece of shit. But he's the kind of piece of shit that would go "I was defeated, therefor my ideals must have been wrong."

    His view of civilization is also not conducive to him being a long-term antagonist. Because he's unwilling to develop technology, the only way he can increase his threat is to add more people to his army, which just isn't interesting to do over and over again.

    "Well, we defeated Tsukasa and his hundred person army with the power of science! But next year, he'll come back with FIVE hundred people! Time for more science!"

    That's not good writing.

    Good writing would be: 'We've killed Tsukasa! Now let's move on!'

    Or he killed himself after defeat, cause Senku doesn't kill.

    But that counter was already learned.

    Senku uses Gun.
    Bad boys use Rain
    Senku uses Katana.
    Bad boys use Spear.
    Senku activates his trap card "Minus Spear"
    Bad boys make a new spear.

    /Repeat from the top, without the trap card.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~

    Maybe it's a drought after that night until spring? /s

    That said, they really can just sneak into the island at night and climb up. Ninja girl did it. Tsukasa and spear dood can do it too, and the two of them can wipe them out right now. Guns only mean anything if you have normal human abilities. Killing lions with bare hands, dodging crossbows, well, guns mean shit unless you charge at a line shooting at you.

    Well, the thing about Senku is, even if it's not gunpowder, it could be something else. They're being overly cautious because who knows what crazy shit he's built in the few days they've been gone! Maybe he, ya know, invented umbrellas to keep his guns dry!

    That or, ya know, so the plot can happen.

    Episode 21

    ---------------------------------------




    According to the stats screen, Gen has 5 attack power, Suika has 3, while Senku has 1. Even Senku should have the same as Suika to be honest.

    Kohaku having 20K HP is broken as hell.

    Wait for Hyoga and Tsukasa's stats...

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Episode 23

    So when they said cellphone, they meant a giant radio that sits on the back of a trolley instead of everyone's pocket. I feel misled.

    So it's a PR:Portable Radio like in PC:Portable Computer...
    But they need at least 2... or more for the multiple groups they will probably need to fight.

    Maybe.

    It's possible what he's built is actually the cell phone tower, and the actual receivers don't need to be that big.

    That's what I thought, yes. Like, this is the main station and the phones themselves are simple wire devices or whatever.

    Maybe they'll be smart and just shoot Tsukasa...

    I mean, I realize he was bluffing about having firearms before, but he could obviously EASILY make guns now.

    Yeah, the song was great.

    And it turns out that really was just one big transmitter/receiver. I thought maybe the 800 small batteries that Senku asked thingo to make were for smaller units, but no...
    --maybe it'll have just enough power to be a receiver but I don't know.

    I never paid much attention to the post-credit warnings, but it's funny. Don't go looking for sulphuric acid yourselves kids!
