Season 1, Episode 18:
Stone Wars
"We've bested you with our blades of science!"
— Senku
Tsukasa’s army attacks the village, potentially leaving them with no choice but to cut down the bridge and lose Kinro.
Feats of Science:
- Fake gun.
- Steel katanas and a tiny dagger.
Tropes:
- Brandishment Bluff: One boomstick, one thrown rock, and one mentalist convince the attackers that the Kingdom of Science already has guns.
- Guile Hero: The King of Science's three best warriors, even with steel swords, are no match for Hyoga and his special spear. But a subtle bit of sabotage...
- The Guards Must Be Crazy: Averted. Kinro, being a named character and stickler for the rules, drags Ginro away from the party to their post guarding the village entrance — just in time to spot a sneak attack!
- Katanas Are Just Better: Justified - strong steel swords easily break stone spears.
- Logical Weakness: Primitive muskets won't work in rain and strong wind - so the Kingdom of Strength waits to attack during the next storm.
- The Pawns Go First: Discussed by Hyoga.
