| This is peak science imo. Both sides uses their scientific weapons and inventions to their full potential. The aerial battle itself is great. Xeon did have a secret weapon up in their sleeves but Senku is back! This episode is well worth waiting after all the hardship Senku has went through. Cool to also see Matsukaze get some spotlight in this epiosde. |
 |
| Yeah actually, the real question is what is Senku doing in an airplane which can barely hold itself, at least according to standards set nowadays, lol. I mean this guy literally avoided his death a couple of episodes ago and is now experiencing realtime gyro in the most reckless way. Though yeah, he the main guy for a reason after all. I’m really glad how the entire bunch still kept their cool and proceeded with every bit of planning even when Senku was out. You see, winning that aerial fight wasn’t just something which happened as is. Wasn’t easy to guess but yeah, Xeno’s men were indeed working on a submarine. That full-fledged attack upfront might just seem way too much, and yeah it was as well, till that twist with Stanley in the end, but yeah, Tsukasa and bunch arriving at Xeno’s base and doing what seemed like an embarrassing defeat for a moment, to a guaranteed win was super hype. Now yeah, just one more episode, and I think I know where they're going to conclude. |
| Yeah, that's one too many asspulls yet again. Ryuusui and his right hand trained through gaming, pfft... not even trying to be subtle anymore. π€£ AND WILL SOMEONE GET THAT MAD SCIENTIST BACK TO BED ALREADY, I know I've wanted him on his feet, but not dead on his feet. Yeeesh. |

| Senku back in the fold already is crazy. This dude needs to be resting and letting Chrome and the others handle things! One of the best Dr. Stone episodes so far though, this was intense and that last 2-3 minutes of the episode was INSANE. We have come so far in Dr. Stone man, we went from struggling to make revival fluid to having fullblown WW2 style dogfights with planes and having high tech submarines lmao. Senku and Ryuusui vs the Stanley decoy was awesome, whoever they were, they were a great pilot but clearly too focused on modern dogfighting techniques. It's still the stoneworld after all, so Senku using the powder to stall out their engine was to be expected. Anything's fair game in this world lol. Can't believe had this high tech submarine ready to go for war though. He was fully prepared for someone else to revive and be hostile. That ending!!! Stanley pulling up onboard and shooting matsukaze and mozu was wild! Looked like the kingdom of science was going to suffer a decisive defeat, but Senku had planned for this. Tsukasa and Kohaku with the reverse uno, goosebumps. Both sides with hostages. Who is gonna blink first! We are set up for an amazing finale next week, hopefully it won't be too long until we get that 2nd cour announcement! |

| What an episode, I can't even tell how many D's chess is this. |
| What an incredible episode! It was so frustrating to see the Science Kingdom lose: some kids taking on armed soldiers. Things seemed hopeless when Stanley showed up, taking down Mozu and Matsukaze (by the way, the replacement pilot got a pretty nice camera shot π). But Tsukasa taking Xeno hostage and seeing Xeno's face, realizing that he wasn't actually winning... that was glorious. Now I understand why Senkuu, despite being wounded, got on the plane. It was all part of the strategy: if he had stayed on the ship, he would have been used as a hostage. Now the Science Kingdom has a slight advantage with Xeno as a bargaining chip. Chrome, Tsukasa and the rest did an incredible job of turning the tables. |

GODDAMN STANLEY π³π₯΅ |
 |
| This episode was exciting. There always new things happening, and you really never knew what would they do next. Although is kinda weird they showed Stanley having that internal monologue throughout the whole fight, and then they reveal it wasn't him. But Dr. X is underestimating the Science Kingdom, because they actually checkmated him too, with Tsukasa at his doorstep, it won't be easy for him to resolve this sitation. Also, the big invention was actually a submarine, crazy. Really excited to see how this will end though. It seems this arc is reaching its end in the next episode though. I wonder how things will play out. Also, finally caught up with Dr. Stone! It has been a long trip these past few months! I have to say though, that this new season hasn't been that exciting, the anime is not being able to maintain "fresh" with its ideas, and they are glossing over a lot of stuff (like how they quickly made a drill and a whole tunnel to get to Dr. Xeno). |
Ofc I’m everywhere lol |
|
| Bro we were all wrong about Xeno’s weapon lol, I never even thought about a damn submarine, that’s amazing, and it worked like a charm for them too, I know they’re the villains but I couldn’t help but feel hyped lol, it’s a battle of science after all, it’s exciting on both sides. And man was the dogfight stupid fun, having a military mangaka on hand to explain the tactics and maneuvers was a good idea too, I enjoyed the hell out of that no matter how many rules of flying it may have broke lol, the OST also kicked ass, it reminded me of 80s hair-metal music which fit it so well, props to whoever made the decision to include that. And just when I thought I had been surprised enough this episode, some beautiful babe of a Stanley lookalike was the real pilot that Senku and Ryusui were fighting, and then the real one comes out and subdues both Moz and Matsukaze, I feel bad for both of them taking a bullet which will most likely ruin their abilities to fight, but damn was Stanley smooth af there lol, can’t even be mad, I’m thrilled even, and this is also a good way to explain how Senku and Ryusui were even able to win the dogfight against a real ace fighter pilot. But the one thing I wasn’t surprised about was the ending of this episode, I had a feeling after seeing the sub that the only way the Kingdom of Science wins this is by putting Xeno in a situation where he has to call off the attack, and who else but the squad invading the lion’s den. I’m so sad there’s only one episode left next week but I absolutely can’t wait for it at the same time. |
| Xeno's expression when he gets a sword shoved in his face was freaking gold! |
 |
| First half was ok with the dogfight. Unecessary explaining every single move they do. But the second half went CRAZY. Plot twists left and right. Stanley is so cool even though he's the villain. Dr. X looked geeked at the end. Loved it. |

| This episode was ABSOLUTE CINEMA! Best episode of the season so far. The dogfight was already great. I couldn't have possibly predicted all the twists and turns that happened in the 2nd half. Also, isn't that mangaka from Season 1 or 2? The dude finally became useful with some proper screentime lmao. And he was a military mangaka. How convenient. Wait, so the weapon Xeno was working on was a submarine? Bruh. I thought it was a missile. Tbh, it does look like a missile. It's so badass. It was a genius plan to invade the ship with a sub while the team was focused on the battle on air. Wait, the person flying the plane wasn't even Stanley??? They even had Stanley's VA dub the female pilot's lines. Bruh. I get that this is probably because this wasn't a problem in the manga so the anime had to do this not to spoil the surprise. But it still feels like cheating tbh. This could've been avoided if the pilot was male from the start. Man, this episode was just twist after twist. I'm not even mad that it ended on a cliffhanger. If anything, it makes me more excited for the next episode. Shame that it will be the last episode of this part tho. Can't wait. |
| The fan service shots are becoming increasingly excessive, especially compared to previous seasons. It feels overdone and distracting, taking away from the overall experience. |
| A dogfight with top gun esque music to go with it. Senku uses an old bluff; pretending to have automatic weapons. After chasing eachother all around the sky, Ryusui finally has a lock on but the other pilot is jinkingm Ryusui and Senku does something unanticipated to the modern mind piloting the other plane; climbing and bombards it with the same weapon that earned them their current plane. Meanwhile, the enemy sneaks up on the Perseus with their submarine and raids the ship. Most of the stone worlders and de-petrified surrender to their firearms and grenades but the island duo stop them with only spears and such. The bombardment works but exhausted Senku accidentally downs the plane he is on, too. The poor aim of the other pilot reveals they weren't Stanley; Xeno's strongest knight Stanley joins the raid and bloodily takes down the island duo. But just as Dr. Xeno's revealed the product of his Kingdom's science, the submarine, Dr. Chrome's drill was a success and the youth kingdom of science's strongest knight, Tsukasa, has Dr. Xeno at spearpoint. |

| @PokefanPT This arc has like 14 more episodes it not even close to over. But it will change a bit soon. But I guess this season will stop on the change it seems. |

| My guess for Xeno's weapon was completely wrong. I thought it was a rocket, but it was actually a submarine with a ramming spike attached to the front, which made quick work of the front end of Senku's ship. It was truly a game of 3D chess which felt more like a 5D chess if that were to ever make sense. The dogfight in the air was enjoyable to watch as Senku and Ryusui did really well against their opponent. After their win and an unfortunate crash land later, the opponent pilot that the duo defeated wasn't Stanley, but a subordinate, which meant that Stanley was free to invade the ship and turn the tables on Moz and Matsukaze's comeback battle way too easily. For a moment, it did look like checkmate for Senku's group, but that could be better said for Xeno himself, as Tsukasa came crashing in, weapon ready in hand. Talk about turning the table more than once in this episode! With next week being the last episode, it'll be interesting to see how this situation will unfold further. Senku's group should have the advantage since they have Xeno hostage now, but you can't rule out any other twists and turns that could favour either side. |
| Fun episode, pity it's over, the next arches are so fun |
| hello, just a brazilian boy who likes anime |
