Season 2, Episode 7:
Secret Mission
"As soon as we roll up in this tank, the odds are ten billion to one that those modern people are going to lose the will to fight"
— Senku:
Chrome makes it back to the kingdom of science’s base, where he bears witness to the Steam Gorilla for the first time. Meanwhile, with the help of the others and with his fake Lilian voice, Gen manages to convert even more people away from the Tsukasa Empire.
Feats of Science:
- Sonic cannon
Tropes:
- America Saves the Day: Japanese members of the Kingdom of Strength are excited to hear that America is on its way to rescue them, with guns.
- Batman Gambit: The tank is a weapon of intimidation, counting on modern people to recognize and respect it.
- Pet the Dog / What Measure Is a Mook?: Tsukasa remembers the name of every one of his warriors lost in battle and honors them at the graveyard.
- Title Drop: Ukyo shows us what Yuzuriha has been up to.
- Translation Convention: "Lillian" starts speaking English then fades to the language of the dub. In most languages, "Lillian" speaks and Ukyo replies in English. Gen notices this as a gambit to have a private conversation. In the English dub, Ukyo is just whispering.
If only Gen, Ukyo, and Senku speak English, then how did anybody else understand "Lillian"?- This is explained earlier with Senku acting as "Lillian's manager and translator"
