One Second, One Grain (
Summary
Having broken open the concrete slab, Kohaku discovers the jar left by Byakuya. However, she accidentally breaks it, alerting the guards to her presence. Taking its contents, she flees the scene, and using the Motor-powered Car, she transports them to Senku and the Science Team. Senku quickly realizes the contents include significant amounts of platinum.
In the past, Byakuya set out to acquire and stockpile platinum in case Senku was ever revived. He continued this for decades, eventually he grows old and collapses in a river, during his search. As he lays dying, he remarks on how fitting as an astronaut his last sight is night sky. Byakuya starts crying, thinking about his son while at the same time Senku is continuing his counting process.
In the present, Gen remarks on how alike Senku and his father are because of their shared persistence, Senku counting to stay awake and Byakuya collecting minerals for him. Senku then declares while Byakuya was not his biological father, things like that did not matter because they were connected in another way.
With the acquisition of platinum, Senku sets off to produce nitric acid, the key component of the Revival Fluid.
