Season 2, Episode 9:
To Destroy and Save
"This isn't a battle between strength and science! Because science actually is strength."
— Senku
Several of the kingdom’s strongest fighters are locked in battle with Hyoga and Tsukasa. Meanwhile, Senku, Gen and Chrome make it to the miracle cave. They’ll have very little time to put together a weapon to end the war.
Feats of Science:
- Nitrogylcerin
Tropes:
- Brains Versus Brawn: The opening line.
- Book Ends:"Our battle started with soap, and now it looks like soap is what's going to end it."— Senku
- I Did What I Had to Do: How Tsukasa justifies breaking statues - revival fluid is finite, so somebody has to chose who is revived.
- Mexican Standoff: Explosive paper airplanes vs ludicrous anime strength.
- One-Man Army: Tsukasa and Hyoga each fight off hordes of named characters.
- The Power of Friendship: Kohaku's Rousing Speech - everybody's small contributions add up.
