| So finally they decided to show the girl in the Opening. Love this episode as we saw Senku's childhood and his loving father which is nice, the episode also shows the other survivors except for the 4 of them. Gonna wait another week to see what happened at the last scene as it gives weird feeling because of the unexpected cuts. |

| Honestly the flashback was way more interesting than the main timeline's plot. |
| ok like the bath scene had to be done...hmmm |
 |
| Understanding the backstory and philosophy that drives Senku's ideology and why he has a different one to Tsukasa is pretty interesting. It provides a different aspect to Senku, so he isn't basically a robot in a human's body lmao, sometimes his emotions override his sense of logic. |

seikanyuuki said: Hmm .. basically almost nothing happened in this episode. Boring. Yeah, they didn't make a black powder, other human girl didn't appear near and Tsukasa didn't seemingly kill Senkuu. TsukuyomiREKT said: It's a fucking shounen. Like I don't know what some of you were expecting. Suspension of disbelief is basically required for every shounen story, even the more realistic ones. Aspects are going to be exaggerated and you should expect that going into it. It just really surprises me how many people don't understand the basics of this genre. Shounen is not a genre, it doesn't specify anything about the plot, Koe no katachi, Death Note, SnK are shounen because they were published in shounen manga magazine. Crashmatt said: I strongly dislike Yuzuriha's new hair. It sucks Doesn't matter, next episode will be last for her to appear for long time. |
 |
| excellent episode. I'm really looking forward to the next one :D |
| RIP Yuzuriha's beautiful hair. :( I find pacing quite awkward in this anime. Sometimes it feels rushed, like in the beginning of this episode, sometimes it feels proper like in the last 1/4 part. Senkuu's childhood was very nicely adapted. |
| I love this show. Hopefully Tsukasa didn't actually kill him. At the end of the episode it looked like he just passed by Senku, but it sounded like he slit his throat. |
 |
| Senku is taking a BIG risk against Tsukasa, that's for sure. And other people are alive too. And Taiju really had us cock-blocked for his love for Yuzuriha, bath scene was...just? The BIG pointer is Senku's backstory, which shows that once you start, you cannot help yourself to stop. But regardless of Tsukasa's shred of humanity, it's worth his shard of thinking. There are definitely pros and cons to each his own. This episode is fire, literally 0 to 100 within moments. |

| Not a bad episode at all but jeez what a cliffhanger. |
| Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts. |
| Taiju Simpleton might have a heart of gold but honestly, he is the most fucking annoying character. He has his good points, which will be revealed in the next episode but if he didn't collect branches far away then he could've intercepted Tsukasa. We got a glimpse of, in my opinion, is the BEST GIRL of this series. She will be properly introduced in the next episode. There is another special smol best girl but I won't spoil too much. I believe in the manga when Senkuu's dad sold his car to buy his son all his science equipment, he was also crying. Doesn't seem like he was crying in this episode. Best dad ever! |

| NOOOOO THE HAIR.... NOT THE HAIR!!!!! I like long hair girls.... very disappointed with this decision. Also... If there's no one to stop Taizan dude... it feel like he'll rape Yuzuriha or something... cause even tho Taizan dude claims to be good, but deep down he's broken shit and loves violence. (which is the main recipe for ppls that rape others) Meanwhile the other dude... still literally does nothing... all he do is run around collecting materials... (which apparently is what he's been doing since childhood... lol) |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| Binge read the entire manga over this. No regrets. No life though but also... NO REGRETS! |

Short_Circut said: you know it's a shounen when the MC literally cock-blocks himself for no other reason other than to wait for the end/character development arc. Damn Senku and to a lesser extent Tsukasa's backs must be destroyed from carrying this show Senku IS the MC though, so it's better that this kind of thing happens to Taiju since he is the side-kick. |
 |
| Taiju was talking with Yuzuriha in a hot spring and she promised he could finish his sentence (declaration). Senkuu finally created gunpowder, but they had a small accident, creating smoke, someone made smoke signals (there are other people). Tsukasa quickly arrived and threatened Yuzuriha (Taiju wasn’t there), he asked Senkuu for the miraculous water and to stop doing science, Senkuu told him the recipe for the water (remembered when he was a child and got involved with science) and answered no, Tsukasa attacked him. Sometimes I think that Tsukasa is right, I mean, if people have opportunity, they’ll fight for territory again and world story would follow a circle that needs war, he’s not that mistaken. Taiju, tell her how you feel now, who knows what could happen. Senkuu can’t be dead in four episodes, the question is how he survived, I thought that the blond girl from the opening and a scene this episode was going to arrive. |

| Oh man that ending cliffhanger. It almost made me forget that blonde girl cameo. I wonder if Taiju is running towards the right fire? I wanna see if that blonde girl is gonna show up next episode! |
| I wouldn’t be surprised if Senkuu met the Jetsons one day xD On another note, What’s up with those damn prelim reviews, though? Geezus. Like it’s already confirmed two cour. |

HaXXspetten said: I don't know what to feel about this. Again, it's supposed to be a show based around realistic science yet you want me to believe the MC was developing Thermite and his own... Tesla gun (?) when he was like 12 or something? And then successfully managed to launch objects into orbit via a homemade rocket in his mid-late teens? People like that just don't exist. I kinda wish Dr Stone had been a seinen series instead honestly; if they just managed to make it feel consistently believable it'd be much easier to swallow. Right now it's mostly just about suspension of disbelief Not sure what the point is of having a cliffhanger like that either when it is a shounen because we already know there is a 99.99999% chance that Senku would never be killed off just like that lol From my own perspective, it just shows how smart Senku can be and how great he is with his capabilities. |
 |
| I feel so touched with that father scene though, selling his car just to provide Senku with all the materials and devices he needs for his studies. |

Dani9870Capaunen said: Nurguburu said: What the hell are you saying ? wtf with this episode, the characters were a bit more annoying than usual. I mean, a funny flashback was put in a serious situation and I didn't like. I think it was a bad idea. And the whole conflicting ideas makes no sense. Finally, Taiju and the whole love stuff didn't happen in this episode after he wants to confess since thousands of years. My opinion. Anyway, a new character will be introduced next episode so my opinion can change. |

| The world would be a better place if all dads were like Senku's dad. Also people saying this is a cliffhanger... It doesn't feel like a cliffhanger at all. Senku is the main character. The doctor Stone. The one in the cover. The one that has the E= MC^2 un his shirt. He can't die. |
| I don't know how realistic science in this show, but I am sure it's messages about about science are clear and strong. Although many people said that Senku's development as young scientist was unrealistic, but still we were showed that he didn't suddenly become a genius, he started as a naive boy but with a big dream, he had a great father supported him, he also experienced failed experiments, and the biggest one is he simply love science, nothing can stop him from that. |
"The Slave is the have-not, the oppressed one with nothing to spare. But because the Slave is in that despairing situation, having nothing, it can kill the Emperor !" |
| Did Tsukasa get buffed or did Senkuu get nerfed ? |
| That cliffhanger was brutal.... there's no way he's dead....no WAY! |
| woah. what a cliffhanger. I'm interested to see where this goes. |
| I appreciate the hell out of this show so far. I feel like it just has the right mix of things to keep right were it needs to be. And now we see why senku doesn't agree with Taukasa at all. His father sacrificed so much to let him grow. And Senku is willing to take the good with the bad. |
| Be sure to message me if you quoted me and want me to respond! Just give me a link to the forum, because usually I leave my comment, then leave the forum. |
| Teared up when Senkuu's dad sold his car so that he could support Senkuu's hobby ;__; |
| so his dad sells his car to support his son's hobby? okay, but how did that affect his dad's life? did he start taking the bus or train? this is literally all we've seen from Senku's dad. there's no context for why that decision is important. what is his dad's income level? what's his job? i don't know how much of a sacrifice this is! it's a drag-and-drop generic story beat that's thrown in with no thought put into it. and the entire show is plagued with this shit! half the ideas the introduce have plot holes or nonsensical leaps in logic that don't make any sense |
| This is my favourite episode so far. I'm assuming the other people who were lighting the fires were the other characters from the op. Senku and Tsukasa facing off was intense. Loved the flashback. Senku's dad seems really cool. Too bad we didn't get to see any more of him. Massive cliffhanger. There's no way Senku actually died but I have no idea how he is going to survive. Hopefully it isn't too BS. |
