| So this mean the time machine was never made? |

| aw i was expecting a bit more of an epilogue/ending to this one. i hope that means it leaves room for another sequel after this, i don't mind the idea of adding a few new chapters onto the series every now and then whenever inagaki and boichi feel like it instead of having to keep up with the series 24/7 but oh well. i'm guessing they're heavily implying that they found byakuya at the end here's to hoping for more in the future |

| so future byakuya is a fake then and is actually whyman using a fake voice of byakuya to encourage senku to make a real time machine welp decent extra short chapters of this manga |
| As expected, it was a creative lie coming from Why-Man to boost the humanity's morale and allow them to fully unleash their potential together... But I didn't expect to not only hear about Why-Man's emotional programme actually existing, but also seeing it in action. Yes, longevity is a cool concept, but there also comes a huge price to pay, when you are seeing your fellow mortal friends dying one after another. I'm surprised that Why-Man decided to turn the emotional programme off. I liked this sequel story. Cute, creative, with nice twists. All well-known characters appeared as well and received some time to shine. One thing bothers me, though. If, hypothetically, Byakuya had been petrified shortly before dying, thanks to the time machine invented many many years after, then why Senkuu and the others decided to search for his statue on the cemetery near Ishigami village? Byakuya died on the Treasure Island and it's hard for me to imagine anyone taking his statue, or its fragment, on an uncertain, very dangerous voyage through the sea. |

So whyman can also posses emotions. And if thousands of years later whyman has to send petri beam to petrify Bakuya then the time paradox comes. So Dr stone manages to come through parallel world existence, great really great stuff. Kaisaki moment was heartwarming, essence of humanity isn't just be there for that one big moment but rather enjoy the journey with ppl around you which make you grow. And Senku and group will carry on exploring rules for the scientific world.
Loved this spin off. Peak stuff from Inagaki and Boichi sensei again. Wish it kinda be longer but it was nice addition to the story.
Hopefully we get some more spin off when the final season will be going to land in next or the year after that.

| @soma_ITB Actually there is no time paradox here. To put it simply: No one was aware of this experiment before it started. They want to know if time travel is real->They created believable scenario to confirm time travel (in this case petrifed Bakuya)->They find that proof or not->If there is proof then they continue research on time travel and If not then they don't find proof then they are ending all research on time travel. @Fang_Tooth @Georgie_Clown @NinjaStuart115 Outside of Why-men thing and petrification authors were trying to be real to science and since we don't know if time travel is real then they didn't wanted to confirm it. It would be a bit awkward if this series confirmed time travel only to have it disproved by scientists 500 years from now. @Adnash Yeah, I understand authors symbolism and making references to old chapters but it is definitely a plot hole. |

@Nieznajomy43 there might have chances of time paradox.
Imagine if time machine will be the thing in future world of Dr stone -> whyman will send petri beam in past to petrify Bakyua -> Then Bakyua will be immobile, so will not able to leave clues for future -> everything that happen till now wouldn't happen -> so Senku won't able to connect with whyman in real time (as he did in previous arcs) -> time paradox (as now how whyman able to petrify Bakuya in past as didn't brought to earth by Senku in this case). Grandfather paradox is a simpler example of this event.
That's why I think if it will to send petri beam in past so parallel world theory is open.

| @soma_ITB They just need to send petri beam after Bakuya created all clues which should be fairly easy to calculate if they know exactly how long time ago original petrification wave happened. Like they could do 40 or 50 years after original petrification. |

| So despite being happy for more Dr. Stone, I was unsure a bit at first at it seemingly aiming to give a conclusive answer to the time travel, since I liked how the series ending left it ambiguous yet hopeful. Thankfully in the end this managed to preserve that, even if it's basically one step away from confirming it. Downside is, we probably won't get any more extra chapter. At least I'm doubtful of it, since my impression is this is as far as they want to go with it plotwise. They could release some set just before this time wise, or otherwise write it while dancing around whether they found Byakuya's statue, some little side ventures like Terraforming, but I don't really see that happening. It makes a good end, so I don't mind if this is really it. NinjaStuart115 said: Eh, pushing it even further would just ruin it.Decent but could have been better! Hope there is a follow-up to this or at least another epilogue chapter to fully wrap things up. |
 |
| So they went with an open end, makes sense and suits it too. Would have been good to have more Kohaku x Senku or Luna. Otherwise was fun having from this series. Gonna miss it again. |
 |
| The old man is one of my favorite characters. One of my earliest memories of the series back when I was getting reinterested in manga and started this as my first weekly series was of him wanting to join the crew despite his age. This had a great sequel scene and brought back some strong emotions. |

| This was a fun spinoff, Boichi keeps teasing us with new stories and chapters. Hope we get a continuation to this aswell. |
 |
| I'm really late but gotta say it was really fun to read dr stone again after it ended 2 years ago. I still think this is a really underrated manga and deserves more love, it's also one of my favourite. Hoping to get more chapters in future🤞 |
