Despite the fact that the restoration of civilization was proceeding at a fairly fast pace, there were still critically not enough hands. Senku's friends, the villagers, Senku himself— they all gave their all, but it still wasn't enough.

Therefore, they decided to take the time to revive more people by removing their petrification.

The laboratory was noisy with work. Chrome mixed the necessary chemicals according to Senku's instructions while he waited for Kohaku to bring in another statue for awakenings.

"Another portion of revitalizing water is ready!" Chrome enthusiastically announced.

Senku huffed. "Good job. Oh, here comes Kohaku." The scientist looked at Kohaku, who brought another statue into the laboratory.

"I found this one by the river." She said, setting the statue on the floor.

Senku froze. He stared at the statue for a long couple of seconds.

Taiju and Yuzuriha, who were passing by, also froze. Taiju gasped, and Yuzuriha covered her mouth with her hand.

Because it wasn't just a statue — it was you — Senku's main enemy.
