Hotline (
Summary
Chrome, Gen, and Magma reach the border of the Tsukasa Empire, and see the numbered statues of those Tsukasa plans to revive. They discuss damaging the statues, so even if they were to be revived they'd be handicapped and unable to fight. Gen initially agrees to the plan, but then aborts it because he lacks the courage. Magma immediately halts, and they move on.
Soon, they find Senku's grave. This initially confuses Magma since Senku isn't dead, but he says that it was simply to be used as a drop off point for contacting their spies. Under the cover of night, the trio dig a hole to hide the cell phone and set up the antenna in a nearby dead tree. Magma attempts to camouflage the cell phone more will extra branches, but it just looks more suspicious.
While digging, they hit a large rock, preventing them digging deeper. Magma being the powerhouse immediately cracks it in two with his axe, but the loud noise alerts Ukyo. The trio rapidly hide the rest of their stuff and then themselves, waiting to see if anyone noticed. After a few moments of thinking they're safe, an arrow lodges itself right above Gen's head. They run off.
The next morning, Taiju and Yuzuriha go to Senku's grave and notice the cell phone. Taiju immediately yells his friend's name into the receiver.
