| Really good episode, it was nice to see the foundation of the Ishigami village, the backstory was actually touching tbh. |
 |
| This episode was pretty nice. Sad to see things the way it went. But nothing really lasts forever. But stories last for a long time, and they be passed down. Tsukasa and his army are on the way. Here we go! X3 |
| Now I'm crying at office's lunchtime, really hard to hold the tears. Very emotional episode, loved it so much! |
 |
| gotta love it when someone 'bout to die and them last words are to praise ramen. ALL HAIL NIPPON |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| Good episode Senku's dad is a good guy So tsukasa is fianlly coming back I wonder how it will end |
 |
| damn i didn't expect to get all emo....senku and his dad's relationship being connected by their love of science is just so wholesome and something you don't really see in anime, especially shounen. byakuya ishigami has officially been added to the list of best dads. bless him. he said they weren't blood-related - does that mean he was his stepdad? |
  |
| God, that was heartbreaking! Few little details that are a little hard to comprehend and thus come to terms with, but the execution and direction of this arc in general has been top-notch! Byakuya is easily best dad of the season already, I didn't expect them to be blood-unrelated though but what does that matter really? Raising four kids and leaving behind this village for him while solely believing that his son will revive humanity is just .. amazing, really. Got teary-eyed from the middle or so but the moment when Senku shed a few tears too was sob-time. Ramen is back but we have got a long way to restore humanity especially considering what's next is the inevitable battle with the Tsubasa Empire. I wonder how that'll play out. Good thing he's gotten this gift to parry that invasion. Curious as to why the sudden invasion now too. |

FMmatron said: Another excellent episode and easily the most emotional one so far. The whole backstory was way too sad, but I loved it how Byakuya's feelings reached his son after thousands of years. The concept and execution of this series are just awesome. I totally agree. This episode was very sad, but very beautiful at the same time. It showed genuine emotions that had been staying alive since Byakuya's times as humanity's remnant. The way this particular part of the story was adapted really nailed everything I expected. Nope, it was even better than I expected it to be. It contained all emotions you could feel while reading the manga, both positive (joy) and negative (sadness). It hit me even harder than when I read the manga. That's how you know the adaptation is good, lol. @ultimatewarrior7 , who knows? Back when I read Dr. Stone's manga at this point, I had thoughts that maybe they didn't die, but simply got too far away to return and/or lost completely track (open sea with only basic navigation based on the sky etc. is a big deal, especially when there are only six people left in total). I hope there will be explained whether they survived or not. I also hope they actually started a new tribe somewhere, haha. Though their pool of genes could be too tiny to maintain stable population after 3rd generation. |
| I just got hit with the big fucking sad, you can say I cried by a 10 million percent. |
| Even knowing what was going to happen after reading the manga, this hitted harde than I thought. The voice acting was on point and the characters feelings were perfectly represented, really enjoyed this episode. |
 |
| Epic nonsense in scenario. |
ultimatewarrior7 said: It is possible, not spoiling anything tho, but it's also possible that both of them died in the sea or by an animal in the other islands.Is it possible that those 2 who went off to bring antibiotics started a civilization elsewhere? |

| Glad it's not a flashback arc. Finally someone cries! It feels like not a single character has shown any signs of missing their families. YA writers tend to easily forget that people have families and lives outside of school friends. The astronauts had kids instead of trying to find civilisation? They should realise the risk of doing that! If they had failed their mission and given up, then that would have made more sense; but just after three years, they already have two children, which makes it look like they didn't really try that much. Language tends to evolve rapidly when you don't have a written language. It's already difficult to read 500 year old stories, but Senkuu can communicate with these people fluently after 1000s of years? It doesn't make much sense. Despite the complaints I have, this has been quite fun. However, I am worried I might not like it from the next episode onward. Tsukasa is coming back, which means the story might turn into a basic Shounen Jump story. I hope it still stays enjoyable somehow. |
| This one was a tearjearker. But the fun is over, Tsukasa is coming for their asses. Even though Senku is amused by that. |
| I wasn't hit too hard but admittedly that was beautiful. great direction and execution. it is shows like this that makes me glad being an otaku nerd and never will I look back. simply amazing. if episode 3 is anything to go by, with the whole Tsukasa/Senku ideal clashing, I'm getting this feeling that they'll reach a compromise somehow. literally anything can happen at this point and I wouldn't complain! |

| WHAT DO YOU MEAN HIS DAD ISN'T HIS DAD!? Sorry. But. What did I miss and where? Also: I wasn't prepared for this wtf. Nobody said there'd be a downpour of tears like this. But. Top notch VA there for Senkuu. Absolutely loved what he did in this episode, all the subtle details. |
| Damn this was sad, especially Shamil's speech. It also sucks that they died relatively young. :'( One thing that seems strange to me is that they have not made clear the Byakuya x Lillian ship, I mean, Kohaku and Ruri obviously have to descend from her but it is weird that they have only shown those 4 children. |
| this episode got me fucked up man I feel like Senku and his dad not being blood-related is a little weird, they look the same. Maybe it's so if Ruri and he get together it isn't prehistoric incest. very nice episode. got me emotional which is really rare for shows |

| Tsukasa was one thing I didn't like about Dr. Stone, and he was the main reason I didn't like the first few episodes of this show and I was on the verge of dropping. Now he's coming back... I hope that arc doesn't take long. |
| If you read Eleceed you're automatically my friend. |
| So let me get this straight, in 3700 years they only have a village of 40 adults and stone age technology? I'm really hoping there is more to it than just that. I find it very hard to believe that the astronauts didn't leave any knowledge behind and didn't set any goals for the following generations to recover existing knowledge --textbooks etc. It's not like the whole civilization framework fell apart at the time of petrification, everything was left functional for many years to come. |

No, they can still find the buildings and everything else. Only the people and a kind of bird were petrified. Finding a safe place to live before having kids is the intelligent thing to do. |
| [quote=ricksed message=58567028] SpaceCowboyFin said: It was a good episode but I can't help but laugh at the idea of 3700 years of inbreeding in a tiny gene pool. Admittely that's one thing that bothers me too. This is bottleneck to the extreme. Still a good episode like you said can you guys elaborate about that inbreeding part? |

| Dang probably the best science gift Byakuya could ever have given to Senku |
 |
| To all those that told us complainers of last episode "just wait, it'll be explained in a way that makes sense" you were right, but I still think is bullshit, I get they were trying to get to the furthest place from where the light originated and that Shamil's crew fucked up their course but to have landed "close" to one of those small islands that dot the pacific instead of closer to east asia is kinda hard to swallow, but yeah it checks out, now I wonder if Yakov and Dalia made it to a city and made a smaller but more advanced settlement, but i guess I'll just have to "wait and see". |
| Hmmm, so that's 45 chapters adapted in 17 eps, 7 more episodes to go so it'll probably end somewhere around chapter 60-65. Which also means there is enough material remaining to do a second season if they adapt it at a similar pace. Edit: Moreover, the intro shows scenes up to chapter 60. |

| Ok, so somebody would be coming back and it's gonna be war. |
ganbarre Senku! go rebuild human society  |
| Damn, the feels.. Byakuya was one awesome dude! Such a sad story though, but he did the best he could to help Senku thousands of years later. Best Dad! Tsukasa will return with his army. |
 |
The truth of the village has been told. Hope we gonna see the forgotten couple in next episode. |

| A very good episode character-wise and emotion-wise but I just can't get my finger around some aspects of the backstory that simply don't make much sense: 1. The astronauts have intended to land somewhere near South America and ended up missing their target and landed somewhere near an island in the Pacific.. Okay, but why instead of trying their hardest to investigate the situation and find the nearest civilized settlement (town, village) they have simply settled in the same spot and started creating families without finding a place with decent supplies and medicine first? I know it's very difficult to navigate and risky to travel but they would've realized that they would need tools of civilization and especially medicine to survive longer but they obviously didn't even try.. 2. The reproduction of the next generations within such a small circle of genes in a completely uncivilized world without any major health issues is also very questionable. I guess the rest of them got extremely lucky to live long enough to have more kids and pass on the knowledge to them before catching infections or whatnot? 3. The third and the biggest question is how did their ancestors manage to reach Japan at some point. This one is beyond strange. It would even make more sense if the first generation, i.e. the astronauts would have managed that at some point within their lives as they had more knowledge and technology at their disposal (which they never bothered to reach or use) for that?? Overall, I really do like this show and don't mean to complain or anything but just can't help thinking about all of this. What do you guys think about these questions? Would there be more explanations later on in the story on how the current state of the village came to be? |
| I thought the astronauts would raid cryobanks for genetic material and find some more people hidden somewhere, but they really just created 3700 years worth of humans with just 2 couples. Unless something else happens this is quite dumb. And Senku's dad isn't really his dad even though they looks so much alike because... reasons. |

Well, they were actually abandoned on an island for a long time with not much technology.. and who knows what happened to those two that took the boat? Mabye they survived, hm? Even if they were abandoned on an Island, it shouldn't have taken them a life time to recover. They should have had a general idea on which island they lived and in what direction they needed to go. Abandoned on an island doesn't mean completely lost. Thinking rationally it would make much more sense to move to a civilized area before settling in. yuukigami said: A very good episode character-wise and emotion-wise but I just can't get my finger around some aspects of the backstory that simply don't make much sense: 1.

Would there be more explanations later on in the story on how the current state of the village came to be? Regarding your #3, he mentioned that they should aim for Japan. Even if they missed their target by "a great distance" they wouldn't be in the middle of Pacific. Going by the fact they tried to use a row boat to get to the "main islands", we can assume they landed on one of the islands near Japan rowboat distance away, otherwise it would be completely suicide. What doesn't make sense is that they settled on that same island and somehow ended up being on the main islands after, confirmed by the graves still being close by. |

| wow this episode had so many feels....the father and his ambitions passed down thousand of years.... just wow |
 |
| Probably this is the best episode of the series until now. It was good, nothing very special to me, but I think it’s better than any other previous episode. It seems Tsukasa is planning to invade them, that sems interesting. |
 |
| Perfect example of a manga and anime experience being completely different, in a positive way. Reading this chapter I had no emotional reaction, watching the episode, I’m in tears. Loved this. Having lost my dad at 15 I always get emotional when it’s something about a parents love. |

| Byakuya dad of the year?! |
