| That was an interesting episode, imo. The last few minutes are intense as well. Can't wait to see where this is going! |
  |
| Damn, this was some episode! I figured it'd be something of this sort (related to astronomy) when we found out about the name of the village but certainly not to be this coherent to the whole course of events by any means. Man, this is just too sad though how Senku will never be able to meet his father though because chances are that he's probably become fossil fuel by now. Fudge, some of those expressions from Senku really dug deep too, I finally see the relevance behind the ED visuals now. Anyway, the singer in space there is clearly Kohaku's great-great-grandmother so I'm assuming she's somehow Senku's step-mother. God, this is complicated too. I don't see how else this village would be named after his generation. Anyway, that aside, his father had a pretty lively personality. Easily dad of the season, too! Senku laughing off the early petrification cases though... Can't wait to see more! So far, it's lived up to expectations so here's to hoping they'll be able to keep up that momentum and end this arc on a high! |

| This episode had many extra scenes that complement the story a lot. I expected them to explain everything in one episode but it seems that they adapted 2 chapters. And that was very good. I hope they will adapt 2 chapters in the next episode and expand the story as well. It will be perfect. |
 |
| I personally like to see the world as is in the present, seeing Zenku fight nature with science is the most interesting thing of this show. Is good to see some backstory but hopefully they don't strtech it too much because is gonna be hard to care for a bunch of characters that I just meet. |

Ashhk said: Very interresting episode. Really liked Senku's backstory with his father. So the village was founded by those who were in space when the disaster happened... Ruri and Kohaku are obviously the descendant of Lillian Weinberg, but is the father Senku's dad ? so they might be from the same family than Seku ? I have so much questions right now, I'm looking forward for the next episode. Like someone already said, it's the same for us. Everyone is related, but after 3000 years, it doesn't matter. |
| With just 6 people, after a few generations everyone in the village would be inbred...the so called science anime fails again. |
| That episode was OK imo, it was interesting to see senku's backstory and get a few explanations about the village's creation Nevertheless it was pretty boring to watch and the characters were not that interestong |
 |
| absolutely loved the scenes in space, this might be my favorite episode atmosphere wise... ba dum tss pun not inteded |
 |
| Nice episode. Now it makes sense how the village got its name. The astronauts escaped from the petrification and came back to Earth. Some strong genes that survived though all this time lol iNovak said: CrayonColorLife said: Senku's dad has the worst voice.Also Lillian has a different voice actor for her singing voice.I think the only good VA is Kohaku.The worst for me is Byakuya ,Taiju ,Ginrou ,and Senku.Maybe also Gen ,but I don't think his voice is as bad as those 4 I mentioned. I've hear Senku's dad voice before, does anyone know which voice actor is it? It's Kenji Fujiwara. |
 |
| This episode really explained a lot, and I am glad to know not all of Senkuu's experiments work. The dad looks like an older version of Senkuu. I wonder why Ruri and Kohaku resemble their ancestors that much. It's like they received no genes from their father's side. One of the astronauts looks like Tsukasa. lol. While I do like flashbacks, I hope we are not getting a flashback arc. It's annoying to wait for the main plot to continue. I am slightly disappointed that they didn't show us a proper conversation between Senkuu and Ruri. I am curious to know why the descendants of the astronauts didn't just try to learn more about medicines and stuff using the books that were available, and continue living a fairly civilised life. Based on the current characters from the Ishigami village, I'd assumed they were descendants of people who'd unpetrified after the buildings and everything had already been covered. |
| Seems like my speculation is roughly correct (since I often speculate things wrongly xD). Pretty cool to see what happened in the past imo, but I can see why people wouldn't like it. If it drags for too long/too overly focus on the past it'll be not so appealing. Yeah I personally find the character's voice slightly out of place. |

TrevRockOne said: Okay, I have a problem with this. 3700 years is way too long for there to just be this little, primitive village. It just doesn't add up. This is too huge of a timeframe. It feels more like maybe s hundred years. Finally someone understood the scale that this story has. It would be very funny if a village had 3 million years. With 40 people. |

| well that's just my opinion..... |
| 6 last human, emmm another astronot |
 |
| i hope Ruri and Kohaku can sing just like their Diva ancestor and lol this line reminds me of what i read few months ago Humans aren’t designed to be happy – so stop trying Humans are not designed to be happy, or even content. Instead, we are designed primarily to survive and reproduce, like every other creature in the natural world. A state of contentment is discouraged by nature because it would lower our guard against possible threats to our survival. http://theconversation.com/humans-arent-designed-to-be-happy-so-stop-trying-119262  |
| So it was them. Does that mean Senku's dad has been read for ~3700 years? What a tragic hero. |
| I bet the next episode will show how they get on Earth and maybe FRICK. and maybe Senkuu's adoptive father will find Senku into stone and move him somewhere safe just like Senkuu did move Taiju into that cave cause of that acid left by bat? idk |
 |
| Curious how none of the tech survived. Maybe the astronauts landed in a remote area and couldn't find the nearest town?

It feels more like maybe s hundred years. It doesn't have to be the only existing village, it's just the only village shown in the anime so far. They were probably sending away groups of settlers every few generations. |

| This episode was amazing. I always thought that people who were in space were not petrified but must have been insanly scared when they saw what happened on Earth. The factthat it was Senku's dad makes perfect sense with the name of the village. That Lilianne song was very moving. Loved how they faked-introduced her. This show is growing on me in ways I'd have never expected to, and without even having great animation. I'm completly into the writing. |
| This episode, while it still contained a lot of the humour that I love, had that bittersweet feeling of sadness to it. =( Senku's father, Byakuya, is one amusing man and thanks to Senku's efforts, Byakuya finally became an astronaut and was able to fly out to the International Space Station, along with Lilianne, whose song that she sung live back to Earth was really nice and soothing. The 6 astronauts time was fun and all, but sadly, they had to witness the entire petrification of Earth in front of their eyes. Thankfully, some live camera feeds and the internet was still operating and they were able to confirm what happened to the entire human population. Byakuya's determined plan to head back down to Earth is the right thing to do, instead of staying in the space station, worrying themselves to death. I have a feeling the next episode will be filled with even more sadness, but also with hope as well. =) |
| If the village was founded by Senku's father and his astronaut friends (who were mostly scientists), why is it, 3700 years later, still a small hunter-gatherer society? 1) How did the population stay so small for so long? Even if we account for high mortality rate due to war and disease, humanity should still be numbering in the millions at the very least, and should've settled most of the world. 2) What happened to agriculture, husbandry, metal working and all those things that human societies naturally develop when they settle in one place? How has their society managed to mantain the language and oral tradition from 3700 years ago but not these basic skills? 3) What happened to all the infrastructure that was left behind? Did Senku's father and his friends just decide not to use any of that? If they did use available technology, how has society managed to go back into the stone age? Maybe it's gonna be a Guren Lagann kind of scenario, where someone/something is keeping society from evolving? Hope the show has good answers for these questions, cause if not this'll be a whole new level of hand waving. |
| Not the episode i wanted but the story building we needed. |
 |
| 3000 years old wincest. |
 |
| Was worth not watching Dr. Stone for 3 weeks and binging 4 episodes at once! |
| I don't get it, yes the world's population got wiped off but the rest of humanity is still there, at least a small country with rudimentary industrial technology should have survived those 5000 years and that's thinking that 6 people couldn't have made upward of 100 people with all their knowledge before they died, and yes inbreeding can fuck up regularly bet it's not a given. |

I was prepared for this because the other episodes seemed to raise my suspicion. But I'm also super sad that Senku and his dad will never meet again. It's like his dad finally becoming an astronaut turned out to be a death wish. Imagine if he had just turned to stone like Senku and then survived with Senku. Damn. :'( I like that the show is shounen. If we had even a glimpse of their psychologies right now it would be nightmare fuel. IMAGINE finding that your parents helped build and entire village so that their child could benefit a couple hundred years later!! The sense of loss! the dissonance! |

| Great episode. A little slow at times, but overall really interesting. I'm still curious to see how they explain the fact that birds were petrifying first and how that relates to humans. |
 |
| Like dad like son XD What goofballs! It's so sad knowing you are watching Earth changing dramatically with your own eyes and there's no one on Earth to help you, knowing you are one of the six survivors :( |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| great backstory about senku's father and the other astronauts left in space at the time can't wait for next week! |
 |
| After 3700 years, the astronauts should have waaay more ancestors than what we've seen so far. |
| *Mourning the disappointment of The Promised Neverland season 2.* |
| So, that how it happen, when the Petrification happened only the people in the ISS were spared and it includes Senku's dad. |

Don't worry. Your OTP is safe. Just know.. |

Hope the show has good answers for these questions, cause if not this'll be a whole new level of hand waving. Maybe arguments happened and some people moved away and made their own villages and so on ? You can't put a group of humans together in one place without problems and arguments happening between them. Even if humans did eventually split into many groups, unless this happened recently in anime time (~100 years prior or so), this village shouldn't be the way it is. Building societies from scratch is one thing humans excel at, especially when they have the knowledge to do so. And the villagers mentioned at one point that there wasn't anyone outside the village except for the few that had been expelled, which means they have no collective memory of any large split in their society, so that theory can be ruled out. |
| Damn, both Kohaku and Ruri sure have some strong ass genes xD Nobody would think there are more than three millennia between them and Lilianne. Overall, quite interesting backstory episode. I especially liked how they portrayed the scene when Byakuya and co. realized what happened to the people on Earth. The whole sequence was really well executed and the OST used was perfect. Now, looking forward to next week to see how those six become the new Adam and Eve. |
| The beginning was really heartwearming and then just a ton of information about everyone and everything. Even Lillian got really flashed out and the song was actually nice to listen to. The initial genpool being limited to only 6 is however worrying. I guess plot convenience makes it work? |
