Building an aircraft, I can get. America's a big land and you have to do a lot of scouting.

Now, an aircraft with a machine gun equipped? What's out there that needs shooting this badly?

There wasn't actually a gun attached, the pilot was just shooting out the window with their machine gun.

Also if Japan's got lion broken out from zoos, we've got safari parks and poo poo. There would definitely be a bunch of lions out there, eating buffalo and deer and wild pigs and cattle. Not to mention the native alligators, crocodiles, coyotes, wolves, bears, mountain lions and so on.

Devoting all those limited resources to building an interrogation device is a very worrying sign, considering by their reaction nobody else was around. It implies they had a Tsukasa-esque plan to integrate only "the right sorts" of revived humans into their new society.

I'd be disappointed if this is anything else but a bluff since polygraphs are certified bullshit for detecting lies.

I was a couple weeks behind on WSJ series and just caught up on a bunch of em so I'd just like to say I absolutely love these new guys and I cannot wait to see how Senku and Dr. Xeno interact once they inevitably become BFFs who can talk science with each other.

Check out the entrance gate, too. These locks aren't built to keep people out.

There's a notable absence of people despite that settlement being fairly large, and as you pointed out, a lot of resources poured into it. Either it's highly mechanized (possible, but I don't know if it's probable) or the extra people are off doing something.

I suppose they also could have done the Senku thing where they built the polygraph on the fly after they first intercepted the KoS's radio transmissions as they were arriving, but still the alternative reasons are... alarming.

reading probably too deeply but:

from how patchwork the castle-factory looks and how the fishing boat looks extremely basic while the tractor is Exactly A Tractor, it looks like they do a lot of salvaging, so it's not totally clear what their actual tech level is

they're also probably in complete control of the area - someone already mentioned the door locks clearly keeping people in rather than out, but there doesn't seem to be any defensive architecture at all

Still in the early stages of this arc so this could really go anywhere at this point. I can't tell if these new characters will be set up as antagonists since we can't really tell what their motivations are aside from survival and perhaps science.

Then the piglatin is an excellent translation choice.

It's just...I don't like it and I don't understand why Gen does it? It doesn't really add anything to his character...other than that he is a little playful
