Dr. Stone: Science Future Part 2 Episode 9 Discussion

Beautiful episode, hopeless yet hopeful, violence yet peaceful, working on both brain level and heart level, this episode make me want to predict this anime again

I predict that whyman has senku voice because he's probably senku from the future.

the only thing I can think of is the radius stops at a certain distance. it went off in America, and I'm sure he calculated the size to end at a certain area. My only hope is someone legit is way outside the border of it

That was the Whyman's voice that kept on transmitting towards the Earth. Our Science team found that when they established radio wave communication for the first time few seasons back. It was similar to Senku's voice that left them perplexed.

Don't you remember!?

oh my goddd????

might I say the best episode yet.

🗣🔥12 million and 800 thousand meters. 1 second

@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

I don't get why if they're so smart that they don't just set up a shower of sorts that dispenses revival fluid. I don't think they ever specified how much is required to revive one person. In the very first episode, Senku was revived by a tiny bit of cave bat urine acid, right? It was just drops of it if I remember correctly. It doesn't make sense that they set up these convoluted plans to revive, post petrification.

They could just suspend bottles or reservoirs of revival fluid with pinholes in them so they drip very slowly. All they would have to do is just run under or camp under one as petrification is about to start. I get that it's etching solution, so it's not exactly the kind of thing you want on your skin. But what danger are some chemical burns if petrification followed by revival makes wounds go away? It's an easy decision in my view.

Besides that, they could have looked into other methods of revival. It's dumb that they advanced down this arc after gaining the Medusa. The moon can wait. Developing alternate revival solutions should have come first. At least gather up some of those petrified birds and experiment on more ways to undo the petrification on the way to the Americas. That should have been a higher priority considering they have billions of people to revive.

Don't get me wrong, I love the story. I just don't see how these sorts of things aren't considered. We're looking at very easy and obvious solutions. Could I write something as good as this one? Definitely not, but I can't help from seeing very simple fixes to the struggles they're putting themselves through in the series. Anyways… I'm anxious to see how this plays out. Did someone do something intelligent with the revival fluid, or are we looking at another enormous time jump until Senku or any of the gang are moving around again. I can't wait to see.

Reminder that nothing of this would have happened if they had treated Xeno like a proper hostage instead of another science playmate smh.

Meh episode. With all these confirmed deaths (a grenade exploded right at Taiju's feet ffs), it's now practically confirmed that Medusa can even resurrect the dead so all the angst and melodrama ended up being for nothing. Just mere shock value at best.

Last twist with apparently the whole world being petrified again was cool, I guess. Will there be another huge timeskip? Will plot armour make one of our heroes conveniently fall into a nitric acid pool? Will the story reset with another group of protagonists starting from zero just like Senkuu in S1EP.1-2 and then making them come across Senkuu and co.'s statues later on?

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 :')
