| Xeno playing the good guy was always too good to be true, and hey it isn’t like we weren’t aware of his intentions already. Guy may advocate as someone who’s on the side of science, but nah, that ain’t the case. Still, Stanley and crew never knowing where Senku and co. were heading off to, was, in fact, too good to be true as well. I'd say Senku and the gang lucked out too, being in places that are basically overflowing with natural advantages. Btw, hilarious how these people are not even thinking of facing off Stanley and everyone with weapons and stuff. Makes sense too, you know when you’ll have an endless source of medusa at the stone sanctuary, you actually don’t need anything else. Really hype for the face-off. I kind of remember as well the stuff which happened around this time back in the manga, so yeah all the more reason. |

| Kinda makes one wonder just how much can science really speed things up. Because jfc, the starter crew should be at least in their 30s, and how is Kaseki even alive still. Don't even remember the reason for Stanley's revenge campaign (or where his female doppelgänger even comes from) at this point. Dunno, much as I love Senkuu and fun as their antics still are, I think things have gotten to a point where it's being dragged out way too much - in all the wrong ways. |
| They rushed a bit the whole process of the diamond and fortress making, but I understand why, since we need to get to business, into this final battle between Stanley and the main group. Xeno was able to do a lot of stuff to help Stanley, because the group was a bit too nice to him, but I guess it's ok, things have been working out so far too. What I don't understand is how Stanley hasn't caught up to the main group yet. I mean, they were able to build a whole fortress, and a bunch of things to help produce a new medusa. Talking about producing a new medusa, I didn't really understand how they are cutting the diamonds, didn't the other group need to make man-made diamonds for shaping them (also, I didn't know the man-made ones were thougher than the natural ones, that's interesting)? I also didn't quite understand the conclusion they reached about the structure of the diamonds, I hope they explain it better next episode. I'm really excited for this showdown between Stanley and Senku's group, but I can't help but feel the pacing is really fast, just in order to not make the anime "boring". Also, if Stanley doesn't send the whole group to attack the fortress (in case of being afraid of the Medusa), Chrome's plan fails completely, as Suika wouldn't stand a chance, right? |
| Give Xeno an Oscar. We all knew he would eventually make his move, but using a nail to send Stanley a signal is next level lol. Of course Senku had been preparing for that eventuality from the start. It’s a race against time now to get the Medusa battery ready before Stanley and his superior firepower show up Seems like they rushed through building the fortress so we could get to the stanley confrontation presumably next week. Surely building something like that would’ve taken a long time and you’d think Stanley would’ve caught up by now given his ship’s speed lol |

| I never imagined a Dr. Stone battle taking place in a town in Minas Gerais called Araxá. Senku spotted in Araxá (WPlace)  |

| I wonder how long it took them to build that fortress. I doubt it was just a couple of days, but I got the impression they finished it very quickly. Sure, the countdown speeds things up, but they still don't have advanced machinery to build a fully walled fortress that fast. Now that the final battle against Stanley is approaching, it seems like the best plan is a kamikaze move: petrify everyone. Still, if this anime has taught me anything, it's that, things never go as planned when at war. I can't wait to see how it all plays out. |
 |
| They didn't waste time in making that fortress so quickly, although given that Stanley's group are heading to that exact location as well, time really is of the essence. It was intriguing to see how Senku's group were plotting their defences and offensive choices, given that both Tsukasa and Hyogo are still injured from Stanley's bullets a few episodes back. Chrome's solution is a risky one, but if it gives Senku's group the best odds of winning, then by all means they should go for it and hope for the best. I do look forward to seeing how this battle will unfold. Of course, I want Senku's group to win, but this will be a closely fought battle, for sure. |

| @PokefanPT In terms of polishing the diamonds, diamonds are the hardest minerals on earth (with a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness), meaning that other minerals cannot scratch it. This is why typically diamonds are polished with diamond grains. Water jets can reach insanely high amounts of pressure though and could in theory be used to cut through diamond (though for the corn city team it was likely more feasible for them to heat up methanol and use the grains than to construct an entire water jet). Also for the structure of the diamonds, Joel and Kaseki had been trying to make the diamonds "perfect" without any weak points. What they noticed this episode is that the diamonds actually used in the medusa do have weak points (called cleavage planes), which are all identical across every medusa (through the center, causing them to split in half upon impact). This was mentioned in passing about the dud medusas which had cracks upon cleavage planes (see below), which is why they had originally theorized that the medusa needed a "perfect" diamond. But the new discovery means that such a weak point in the center is intentional in design, so their diamond batteries weren't actually the same as what they needed. The hypothesis from Senku is that such a weak point might be for energy to course through the diamond, but the main idea is that the diamonds needed for the medusa have to be intentionally flawed in order for them to work because that's something every medusa diamond had in common. (also you're right in that this episode covers 2.5 chapters as opposed to the usual 2, on top of the story already moving quickly plot wise which makes the pacing feel quite fast imo!) Sorry for the unnecessary yap sesh, but I hope that makes it a bit clearer~  |

| i enjoyed the episode so they left Xeno warned Stanley... i know that we have tp close our eyes on a lot of things here but ahhhh |

| @Nerdason And when he talked about Minas Gerais, when he showed a lot of land, I imagined that he was going to talk about the accident in the city of Brumadinho. |
| It's no wonder Kaseki is built like that when bro has been carrying since the beginning. |

| Using synthetic diamonds to break real diamonds sounds badass. Also, diamonds would probably be way cheaper if companies didn't hoard them and create artificial scarcity. Gotta love corpos. Dr. Xeno is one cunning bastard. But Senku is smarter. He caught Xeno's sneaky acts and is acting accordingly. This episode's pacing was a lot faster than usual but it was still fun. Senku vs Stanley already sounds pretty exciting. I actually came up with the self-destruct plan before Chrome did. It's crazy how it took so long for them to come up with this plan lol. The way they're making the diamond batteries is crazy. I wonder if the show will actually give a scientific explanation about how Medusas work. |
| They're making too many inventions now right off the bat lol Just how fast are they !? We are nearing the final battle with Stanley ❤️🔥❤️🔥 I really wanted to see so badly how their suicide attack 's gonna succeed. |
Nikki's boobs!! 😍   Charlotte Bony's boobs with her tight outfit!! 😍    |
| hot damn, they really blew through this episode at mach speed. they even built a fortress? the major flaw in their plane is that it's ridiculously predictable, though I doubt stanley knows just how many Medusa they have. |
 |
| So this battery situation is tougher than we thought it was. Good thing we're making progress at least! Anything to defeat Stanley. |

| Yeah this one might’ve been the worst case of suspension of disbelief so far, like you’re telling me they had enough time to make that fortress AND mine and cut all those diamonds before Stanley gets there? And forget the fact Stanley knows where they are, it’s not like he’s searching aimlessly through the Amazon, he’s making his way there with no detours. Oh well, I’ve said it before but I get it why it has to be faster and all of the process is getting skipped now, it doesn’t really fix the time needed to do these things being unrealistic but it is what it is, the reveals with the Medusa device have been pretty exciting at least, like the discovery that the diamonds intentionally have a crack in them here. But damn this plan sounds risky, they’re gonna nuke the whole area with stone and have someone revive the good guys huh? It sounds decent but I think something has to go wrong, we shall see tho. And lastly, I really liked the line Kohaku said about humanity making use of what the earth has to offer over all the years, the fact that was said by a new generation person of the stone world too, beautiful stuff. |
| I think Senku always knew that Xeno would do his best to lure Stanley and the others to him. The next episode should be exhilarating, let's find out if their petrification plan will work or not. |

| How much time has passed since their last confrontation? They have gone around the continent, built a stealth ship and a fortress, then conducted an extensive research on the medusa, but Tsukasa's wound still hasn't healed? How? |
 |
| Most normal episode yet, and because of that, probably the best one from this lame ass season lol I still hate it tho, like, the clockwork guy appeared out of nowhere, we barely even know him, and it just so happens that he is probably the most important character here, that's some shit ass plot writing right there. |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Well it looks like Senku and company are on track to bring a medusa online again but Stanley is closing in. Surely the science team is going to win which just makes me shake my head at all this potential that has gone to waste while they squabble. |
| Okay, can't wait to see how the showdown against Stanley will turn out especially when Stanley is coming faster than they expect but the medusa will be ready at time to petrify them all ahah |
 |
| The timey-wimey stuff plus the accelerated pace that bursts through the plot points but doesn't like the characters breathe a bit makes things feel kinda trivial and fever-dream like. |
 |
| Chrome is good at coming up with clever ideas. This episode has gotten my hyped for the big showdown against Stanley's group. |
 |
| Is Dr Xeno the biggest asshole ever? |
| The war is gonna be interesting! Can't wait to see them battle :) |

| Kaseki is a genius for being at such age I applaud his grit. |
| So, the Battle of the Amazon is coming up, even though the setting and environment we've seen is nothing like the Amazon rainforest. Did I just see them using motorcycles and cable cars to get through the thick Amazon rainforest? Inagaki is a bit out there 😅 |

| @Marinate1016 Yep, the pacing isn't great, but I get the need to move the plot along. |
| I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life. |
| The diamond crack WAS relevant, it must be some channel between the halves that gives the Medusa it's power?? Does that city in Brazil really have ALL those minerals IRL? If so, wow. |
 |
| Wow, she goes ham on the map 👏 welp now they can have fun getting the best of both worlds. Size (natural) + power (synthetic). Diamond dude is gonna have the cheerleader squad all over him 😆 What is the world is Xeno doing with those hands 👀 eyo. Refuse to believe coiling something around the metal finger tips is just a social quip. Nah, dude got a plan. The fact they picked up on that 😔 if only Senku noticed what was going on. Should have taken those claws off at some point. An Anti-Stanley Machine Gun 👀 the dream. Oh, so he knew all about it 🫡 then I guess Senku has that all down pat. Create the home field advantage, and try not to get smoked. We're almost at the point where we can make Medusas 👏 we have come a long way. Next ep should be fun. |
  |
| Reminder that Xeno also has a Medusa device hidden in his clothes. Honestly, the fact of him walking around without restraints and with all his clothes continues to baffle me beyond belief. And as for suspension of disbelief, gotta say mine died during Science Future Part 1 after being in a coma since the moment they freaking cryogenized Tsukasa back in S2 💀 |
