Dr. Stone Episode 6 Discussion

I like Kohaku already and it's pretty interesting that the human race had already started breeding but were unable to pass their knowledge over modern technology to their descedants.

If you think about it though, it doesn't mean they didn't pass it on. It's just that people who have never seen modern science, can't imagine what it is or looks like because they've never experienced it themselves. And if the story gets told over a few generation, more and more of the real meaning will get lost, because the people telling the stories don't know themselves what the content of the stories actually means.

nobody s talking about the fact that the opening literally started mid episode lol

Well, I've already put up with the fact that first few minutes are reserved for "Previously" part. The sixth episode takes it to a completely new level. EIGHT. MINUTES. HOLLY. CRAP.

So...does Senku now has a girlfriend?

axel360 said:


An admirer, maybe. Honestly, Senku doesn't strike me as a character that spends any time worrying about his love life, but we'll see.

Kohaku believes in science but more importantly in Senku and i know you know that being a manga reader and this episode is one proof of that too, and since this is a shonen its more likely their ship will sail in the end

ttcchen said:
idk. In canon whenever someone showed affection towards Senku (both male and female) he showed disgust, and he only ever blushes and smiles when he's working on science. Kohaku and all the later characters all believe in science and senku and none is hinted to be in a ship with him. instead of ships these twos are more like bros. Also don't watch Dr Stone expecting the common shounen tropes cause you'll be disappointed.

Senku: "It's the foundation of science that old man Einstein derived."

It is not "the foundation of science". Science is a method. If anyone should be called its founder it should be Isaac Newton, who wrote Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica outlining the principles of science: observation, hypothesis, experiment that can be replicated, proven theory, etc. Principia also advanced physics by leaps and bounds. He even invented new calculus to be able to do so.

Einstein did not invent the E=MC2 formula, it was invented by an Italian and another man. But as so often the one who gets credit is the one with better connections and who is favored by the media owners. It is similar to the discovery that the dinosaurs weren't lizards: The man who discovered this was ignored in favor of a professor who hated him, but who was better established and therefore got written about in Britain's science magazines.

Correspondence discovered about twenty years ago also shows that Einstein's calculations were actually done by a German student working for him. But Einstein was favored by the press, so this was hidden.

im a manga reader too and i know that this is not your typical shonen but its not like Attack on Titan serious shonen though so this has more chance of following the shipping formula of common shonens

and because both Kohaku and Senku are like the main characters anyway its like a natural fit for them to be ship too especially being the opposite sex, this episode is like a massive foreshadowing in their shipping too in the end of the story anyway
