Welp, didn't think they'd extend that cliffhanger on his revival. Great episode tho.

Now this is getting me excited!

Although I've already read the manga this is still so hype.

Kinda liked the episode, especially Senkuu's story, but it almost felt like a recap episode with some delays and overused drama

So, that was a meh for me

I feel like this show is really underestimating explosions lol. Decent ep Senku's backstory was pretty nice, still think it's way to early to play the dramatic "main character is supposedly killed" idea that kind of stuff usually comes towards the end lul. Still don't know how Taiju realized the 2 were in danger but whatevs

I liked this episode but i think they could've done away with the 2 minute recap at the start and used it to create a scene to lead into next week... if that makes sense?

Pretty much all shounen's do that whenever there's a major cliffhanger from the previous ep lel


I know but as a manga reader i can think of a scene where it would have been perfect to end that episode with

Not so sure about the way of how Senkuu was saved from an instant death but I guess I can let it pass... for now.

Anyways, decent episode overall. The first half was OK but seeing Senkuu's first steps into the stone world definitely made the second half far more entertaining.

The first half of the episode was pretty intense. Taiju and Yuzuriha worked brilliantly as a team. After Taiju impressively throws the massive boulder into the air, Yuzuriha runs to throw the gun powder close to Tsukasa, just before the boulder lands of the gun powder, making a big explosion happen. Thanks to the explosion, Taiju and Yuzuriha successfully escaped with Senku.

Hopefully the revival fluid will get Senku back to life, but we'll find out next week if that happens or not, which I'm sure it will anyways. =P

The second half of the episode was showing Senku's backstory and what he was up to after he got out of the petrification rock, 6 months before Taiju. I had to laugh when the three monkeys were screaming at him Senku and calling him "Shiny Monkey". Their facial reactions were hilarious! XD

Senku had to go through the trial and error route for everything he did and boy did he do well! That's why he's such a fun character to watch in this show. =)

Another great episode, of course Senku was planning the neck thing this whole time lol, and finally getting an in depth look at when Senku first woke up was pretty interesting

I don't really know what to say about this one. The first half was kinda bad, just prolonged the "death" of Senku alot. The second half, while not necessary and kinda forced to get a cliffhanger, was neat to see him get out of the petrification and survive on his own before Taiju comes in. Shiny monkeys rule!

Yeeeah, that much powder couldn't have killed Shishio on the spot. 'Tis but a slight burn aka Dr. Stone is at it again my dudes.

Though I must say that the second half was pretty decent (if you cut out those monkeys of course). We got to see how resourceful and smart Senkuu is, and his achievements were actually believable compared to the experiments shown in the previous episode.

I didn't mind the cliffhanger last episode but now they're going too far having us wait another week. Also Senku's story feels better for the first episode than what we got with Taiju.

I am divided about this episode. The second part was interesting and funny, especially with the monkeys. But I must admit that I am dubitative about the first part. This cliffhanger starts to be boring now. They should have ended it in this episode.

Great episode as always. Loved seeing Senku first wake up and build stuff.

I hope Dr Stone stops doing these immersion breaking stuff like talking monkeys and last episode's weird cooking class thing.

Other than that loving this series' unique setting.

I really like this show and I''m enjoying it a lot. However, we got a lot of flashbacks from last episode at the start, and then the progression on how to save Senku wasn't the best, IMO. The flashback part of him being the first human alive was definetly nice, but maybe too long and on the wrong timing. Also, even tho I liked last episode's comic progression, I didn't felt that on this episode. The monkey's part were just weird. And I agree with the guys here, that cliffhanger just felt forced.

Taiju's plan to distract Shishiou was unique (albeit unrealistic). Besides that, however, the episode was much of the same -- juvenile jokes, archetypical characters, and generic entertainment.

Seeing Senku set up everything after being being freed from his petrification, was pretty impressive.

Eventho they are dragging this out a bit, sure Senkuu is gonna be alive, however why Tsukasa wasn't even slighty harmed by that explosion is beyond me.

You probably wanted to progress with the story but knowing the details of how it was Senku during his time petrified and finally waking up was refreshing to me, in my opinion.

Personification of animals is something that's been done forever. Even stand-up comedians like Richard Pryor did it.


I understand you. I just feel like they wasted time a little bit at the start of the episode. I do think the flashback was great, but was it now the best time for it? To me it felt like they just wanted to hold onto that cliffhanger.

Nice to see how Senku got up from stone fragments and start from year zero. As for the stome fragments on the neck of Senku, it will probably heals Senku's neck as we saw at Yuzuriha's foot. Also the monkey part is weird.

There has been a heavy amount of Space references in this series especially in this episode which really didn't resonate with me until the thought crossed my mind of..."Well what if there were people in space when the Stoning took place" Just imagine coming back down to earth and everyone is turned to stone. Thats terrifying.

Felt more like a filler episode to me but still gave some nice details about how Senku survived.

So, they only said some things we knew from the start like Senkuu living and him building things. The only new things were POV monkeys.

Maybe I am the only one who thinks this, but I want Tsukasa to be the protagonist. He's calm, strong, intelligent and quick thinking. Basically, he is all three of the protagonists, but without their annoying Shounen-Jump personalities.

Building the world from scratch. That's Senku's role as we bypass the 1st arc of the manga.

The consequence of Senku getting hit from Tsukasa isn't so much of a liability, as his un-petrification isn't complete and the area Senku needed Tsukasa to hit was to release the stone off that area. And Taiju and Yuzuriha had to continue where Senku left off...or is that the case?

Senku's backstory, the beginning of mankind in the stone world, along with POV monkeys are such a chuckle.

This episode is on fire, aside from logic and mature thinking. Very impressive.

Beginning of this episode and Senkuu's "origin story" is like 5ch in manga so it cant be stuffed in 1 episode, but im sure that good part of the next episode will be Senkuu's origin( at least half of the episode)
Monkeys were soo funny to me when i was reading the manga and anime did a great job with adapting that and game like Achievements ....

Well, yeah, probably not the whole thing, I wouldn't know about it to that extent, but what we got in this episode, after the first half of it. The monkeys and the achievements were great too indeed.

That was a neat plan on Senku's part. That flashback on what Senku was doing before Taiju woke up was also neato.

What kind of galaxy brain plan was that. Honestly that was a pretty enjoyable episode. Although I didn't really appreciate the cliffhanger getting extended, seeing how Senku (the shiny monkey) started from zero in the stone world.

Seeing Taiju lift that boulder gave me chills though dear lord.
