| Welp they lost the boss fight, but they have save states! |
 "Don't let your memes be dreams."- Ancient Japanese proverb, probably |
| Quite the tonal whiplash. Even tho everyone will be "resurrected", I think they overdid it just a little bit. Great episodes anyways. @ultramb First of all, South America, not Africa. Second, Whyman sent a shitton of Medusas in order to make sure that no one could escape the petrification. They explained this a few episodes ago. |

| bro no fucking way why man actually saved tham |
| Brutal and heartbreaking to see them fall one by one. I couldn't hold back: each of them had a moment that left a lump in my throat, almost crying. Chelsea already knew that what Senkuu wanted was for them to escape and survive, and it tore her up inside. Luna also broke down when she realized it, thinking of Senkuu, Carl and Max, and it showed that, even if they called her a coward, she wouldn't run away. She would stay with them until the end. Kaseki and Joel shone brightly: their hard work paid off, I love how despite Joel's arrogance he also gave credit to Kaseki, without even meeting him in person. And with all these defeats, Gen finally told Senkuu the truth: Kohaku, Tsukasa and Hyoga gave them one last chance for an all or nothing. Kohaku's last words were Senkuu's name? Senkuu x Kohaku forever. I was so excited to see Magma struggling to open the chamber, Joel activating the voice command, and everyone fighting because they believe in Senkuu and science. Taiju desperately trying to buy time by throwing grenades back: pure courage in the chaos. Fuck, what an episode. Holy crap. Even knowing they were going to die, they never stopped fighting for that long awaited victory, using the same light that once destroyed humanity. |

Great episode, intense and well thought out like always but i just don't understand two things, i didn't get the diamond splitting in half being the reason the device works can anyone explain? second is the Why Man message, did Senku make his own that loops just before he was supposedly shot?
Anyhow 3 more episodes for this season to end (it's not the finale if i'm right?) i can't even picture what will happen i just hope our characters will come back :')

| @ropiel The diamonds are supposed to be a bit weaker in the center, such that energy courses through that specific part of the diamond. Think like how energy runs through a battery or wire in a specific way in order to have power, this is how it in theory works for the diamond. It's not that the diamond should be split in half, it should be whole but with a weaker point in the center. They have to make it weak enough for energy to course through it, but not weak enough to immediately break in half before putting it in the medusa. That's why crafting them is such a challenge! Also, back in season 3 it was established that Why Man was communicating using an almost "Vocaloid" style synthetic replication of Senku's voice for the "12,800,000 meters, 1 second" message. This message has been playing on repeat but they stopped tuning to that frequency because they didn't want the medusa to be accidentally triggered. Joel tuned his watch to that frequency at the last second :3 |

| @FrancoMoe my bad idk why i typed Africa there. lol i do remember the periodical activation part but i also remember a part saying something like devices combined their petrification radius to engulf the entire earth. maybe i misinterpreted some lines. |

| Not gonna lie my heart and mind cried very hard. Dang man. All or nothing gamble and they managed to do it. |
| Best episode of this season, man. |
| hope someone just stood up holding the liquid like pouring drops so after petrification the drops do the job |

| If I thought that the events in the previous episode was brutal, then this episode took the brutality to a whole different level. It's sad to see the characters that I enjoy so much getting savagely shot or blown up in this fashion. =( Another thing that hits hard was how Chelsea broke down in tears, saying to Luna that they can't fight and that was before she had to stop Luna from going back to the base. Doing so definitely saved her life for sure. Despite how bloody things got, Senku's group did get one huge breakthrough thanks to Joel finally succeeding in making an artificial Medusa. It was touch and go for a while, but Joel was able to get to the Medusa and thanks to his watch being a communication tool to relay back to Senku, it looks like the plan to re-enact the worldwide petrification is underway. His plan might be hugely ambitious, but I do hope that this pays off for Senku. Anything to stop Stanley's onslaught is very welcome at this point! |
| I don't usually comment, but this episode was completely insane?? The twists, the stakes, everything was absolutely brilliant. I was a bit perplexed about this season, but last week's episode and this one are perhaps the best in the entire series. I hope we'll not have to wait another 3000 years for them to be de-petrified. This was truly our Doctor Stone, 5/5. |

Peak af episode 🔥🔥🔥, straight 10/10 man. Literally everyone died and that last Senku's voice to the dr stone was epic af.  |
| One of the best episodes in the show, probably the best. |
 |
| wow i was not prepared for this great episode |
| if you hated this episode/chapter, just watch/read something else... 100k on IG (https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh) Discord (https://discord.gg/vbZrk64uH7) for anime links / news / recom etc |
| Even if (and hopefully) everyone manages to survive these last two episode has been so hard to watch, it is like watching a whole different show with all of our beloved characters getting annihilated like that, I can't decide who hurt the most because all of them were downed horribly, but the biggest surprise I have to say was Yuzuriha speech being half dead since she is the most distant from a combatant yet she was also there for the final attack, I guess it left a bigger impression since I'm also adding the way Taijuu died from that grenade and Gen losing it. Sometime that hit me the most is when a super energetic and happy all around character can't even keep up with their optimism and breaks down, this time it was Chelsea when she was escaping alongside Luna. |

Just 1 question didn't the deduce somewhere in in Season 3 that the petrification device doesn't work remotely, I mean over radio signals?
| @PranaM09 No, the first time Senku attempted to use it against Ibara (episode 19) the speaker wasn't close enough to the medusa. Radio works fine if the radio is close enough and the medusa has a working battery. |
| Yes...I ate 5 slices of pizza...those mozzarella sticks were good too...Yes, I'm lactose intolerant, what about it?? |
Who the hell is gonna revive them after they all turn to stones, no one's gonna be out there to save them, or will they wait another 3700 years again for that revival fluid to drop on some of them by coincidence, maybe that medusa won't even be able to cover 12800000 meters since why man needed a mountain of medusas to petrificate the earth, or maybe Why man will intervene, |

| @Apratim the lights also look like his hair anyways, dark episode, kind of touching but i really wish they'd just kill the bastards. I know it's a kind of show where the good guys are generally nice but homicidal maniacs with world domination on their minds aren't welcome anywhere, and they won't stop with just a slap on the wrist. |

| Wow man, I never could have predicted a turn of events like this. You’re telling me they’re gonna purposely stone the whole world again? That is insane lol, talk about coming full circle, get it because the earth is a circle? But really man this whole episode was wild, the absolute balls to kill almost every character we know and love right in front of our faces, I know they’re gonna be resurrected but it is still such a shocking sight to see them all get gunned down, and you also have to respect the bravery of these characters to face down being shot, even the ones that aren’t combatants like Joel and Yuzuriha, they’re all absolute troopers, can’t say I could do the same if I was in that situation. And I have to give it to Joel, he may be a last second character they only introduced for the purpose of recreating the Medusa device, but he absolutely came in clutch here, not only finishing the device but also pulling the trigger on it when no one else could. And he used the transmission from Why Man to do it too? Dr. Stone I’m sorry for ever having ever any doubt in you at any point this season (of course, there were even issues in this episode, but still), this climax episode was so damn good man, all the buildup was worth it. Now I just wonder, what’s the plan for reviving everyone after the world gets stoned? Are they actually gonna be stoned for another however many years until someone wakes up, or do they have a plan for that? Guess we’ll see. |

| Of course the American soldiers have no problem gunning down children! Not a single one objected. X.X |
| This level of brutality just doesn't fit the show. The mood and tone is too cartoony for it. This is the one time a complete shift in aesthetic would go a long way. The plot itself is brilliant though. We have come full circle now. |
