| Nice backstory with everything going on. Dr. Xeno isn't really in the wrong, but that's the reality he's faced with. |

| SCIENCE IS ELEGANT. Probably one of my favorite episodes so far in the whole anime, hopefully that can be topped. |
| definitely one of my favorite Dr. Stone episodes of all time! |
| We got to see Senku and Xeno's backstory from when he was still trying to build a rocket. Xeno clearly has a resentment for his superiors considering how they rejected his proposal and for that matter his willingness to pursuit science goes on an authoritarian approach. For the contrary, Senku is in look for knowledge, revealing everything he can about the world even if that means learning stuff he doesn't need and it shows from the heavy science talk in this episode. Every analysis of each situation, every step taken towards the goal and the work and acknowledgement between science colleagues without the use of words, that really hit me and is one of the reasons why I hold this series in such a high pedestal. Elegant and exhilarating. Also, the way Senku kept bullying Byakuya was pretty funny as well. |

| The shounenification of science is part of the show's charm, but it feels pretty goofy to be doing the whole power of a science user thing even when it's some contemporary NASA employees chatting. And the whole this isn't a dumb coincidence note at the end is so desperate. No, it is not reasonable that they knew each other this way. Come on. I'm not bothered it's happening in a silly show like this, but don't you dare pretend this is a logical outcome. Still fun. |
| Wow, both of them are a great scientist! Can't wait to see whether they are going to battle or collaborate :) |

| Finally, a new insight in to the past. |
 |
| There are a couple of scenes early on where you can see that Xeno's irises are still prominent, contrasting with how they are throughout the rest of the episode (and in the present day/Stone World) where they're hidden behind a sort of glaze. It's almost as if to imply that the rejection of his project was the last thing that fully caused him to become disillusioned with the world and instilled a desire to rule it with power (should the opportunity arise). |

It's funny how they imply that anyone can just send an email to NASA containing some files and they will just go ahead and open them without a care in the world lmao

also i remember some youtube video (maybe veritasium or hank green) where they talked about how scientists are eager to explain their research in full detail to those willing to learn and understand. maybe depending on who they're working with. NASA almost always is obliged to release public information about breakthroughs and research (IIRC), they're all about advancing scientific innovations for aeronautics or whatnot. xeno and senku sharing information is just one of the ideal scenarios of these communication
| @Plopop literal "uhh actually ☝️🤓" response lmao |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Ok it was awesome to see the backstory of Senku and how he met Xeno for the first time when he was trying to build a rocket back then, and it's also very interesting to see the day they got petrified from the scientists' point of view in America, great episode. |
 |
| 7yo Senkuu (or 10yo Senkuu, idk) being able to understand chemistry and advanced engineering yet can't understand English to send an e-mail... Also, please tell me Xeno was the only one who stayed awake for that long. I mean, the idea of keeping consciousness for 3000+ freaking years is already absurd enough so I would seriously hate to know people like Luna and her simps could accomplish such feat. So-so episode. Suspension of disbelief was tested multiple times but at least it was nice to see best dad Byakuya again. |
| Senkuu´s master think of the same way of our child!!! kekeke |
| Senku was impressing nasa scientist at 7 years of age lol |
 |
| It's interesting to know that Xeno was also researching the petrification before it happened. Considering that they would go public the next day, I wonder if the timing of the world wide petrification was a coincidence. I am amazed that Luna and her simps managed to stay conscious with such stupid thoughts. |

true dat👍🏿 |
| Well. I sure missed binge watching all of these Dr. Stone episodes. I won't be able to do that soon. Anyways, this episode was interesting to better understand Dr. Xeno and Senku's backstory, although it was filled with inconsistencies. First of all, the anime said Senku was 10 years old when he sent the e-mail, but in the e-mail itself Senku said he was 7 years old... Like, c'mon, how could they get that wrong? Also, since when was Senku's dad working for NASA since he was 7/10? From what I remember (and I rewatched that episode not so long ago), Senku's dad only joined NASA quite some time after Senku tried to help him. That's why he only went to space right before the petrification process. I suppose Dr. Xeno's plans have something to do with that project he made, that was rejected. I liked to see that Dr. Xeno and Senku were able to finally meet in person, even for a short moment! I guess they'll end up having more time to bond later in the series. In fact, this episode they started the talk that Dr. Xeno was the right person to make a rocketship, so y'all know how this is turning out... Also, they made Dr. Xeno act like he was much older than the characters (like saying they will get Gen because they're still young), but he's only 10 years older than them. Like, he's in his late 20s. Anyway, the anime seemed to indicate that Dr. Xeno and Senku woke up at the same time, but that doesn't make much sense, because why would he be so much more advanced than Senku then? And I had completely forgotten that people needed to remain counscience throughout those whole years to be able to be revived, because they clearly dropped that idea fast in the anime (like, Tsukasa's sister couldn't really stay conscient). Anyways, really curious how this whole thing is going to play out. |
| To have Senku and Xeno's relationship go as far back as the former at 10 years old doing rocket building and being inspired by the aforementioned NASA scientist Dr. Xeno Houston Wingfield, 10 years his senior, it's probably too expensive to do rocket science...without flying to the US and back just to borrow his Gramps' credit card and buy up all the equipment he needs to make that rocket, the ambition that links Senku, as well as Xeno keeping track of his experiments, create the elegance of Science is Power. The relationship between the two, pretty much like scientists of the same mind, in unison and in thinking. It's fascinating to think that the day before the world's petrification into the stone world, both Xeno and Senku are at it on their own wavelengths, while the American special forces alongside Stanley and the others. And for sure, while they're better protected against against petrification, it still happened to Xeno, Stanley and the others, though they'd have a better chance of finding nitric acid on where they are. Fate or coincidence, these two scientists breaking out of their shell at the same precise moments, science is moving their world from then on. |

| Looks like a warm and touching reunion is in store for us in the next episode. |
 |
| An episode entirely focused on backstory. We get to see the mentor-pupil relationship between Senkuu and Dr. Xeno, though it doesn’t seem like Xeno has any connection to petrification. Dr. Xeno wants to rule as a dictator, but if he has any deeper motives, they’re still unknown. Now the plot gets interesting—curious to see how Senkuu will approach him. |

| Lol Luna the capeable woman ;D |

| Woahh that was a hell of flashback. Absolute Cinema 🙌 |
 |
| Getting the near-full recount of Senku's interactions with Dr. Xeno before the big petrification! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| I truly appreciate when the anime adaptation took their time to properly convey the backstory between Senku and Xeno, even more so than it needed. Dr.Stone has always had a wonderful way to tell backstories of their character, but none is as significant as Xeno out of the ones still alive. Senku and Xeno are scientists of a different side of the same coin. While Senku studies to simply amass knowledge due to his unending curiosity, Xeno, on the other hand, possesses the knowledge and thirst for power, all so that he may act on any of his own curiosity, however he wishes. I could even go as far as to assume Xeno is probably exactly like Senku growing up, but as an adult, he can't do whatever he pleases, even if what he intends to do is beneficial for mankind, due to people whose authority and power are higher than Xeno's. It's a darker rendition of Senku's more innocent vision to understand everything... However, no power in the pre-petrification world would stand and survive against the dusk of modern civilisation and the dawn of a completely new world. The Stone World. Everything is reset to zero... Here Senku can use his knowledge put it into practice to re-discover the modern society under his nurturing guidance Here Xeno can use his knowledge and put it into practice to re-discover the modern society under his dictating commands Science is Elegant Science is Power |

| hope xeno and senku would get along. |

| @G_Spark233 The whlole stay awake thing is dumb and plain forgotten half the time anyway. They have revived countless idiots. are you telling me those people also stayed awake? |
