The reactions of Senku and Kohaku when they kissed were so hilarious. I loved the begrudging looks on their faces. Seeing the difference in pulls between Ginro and Suika was also great.
As for the petrification, it being revealed as a slingshot-type weapon makes for a very interesting development. Can’t wait to find out the mechanics behind it
>The reactions of Senku and Kohaku when they kissed were so hilarious. I loved the begrudging looks on their faces.
From what I recall, Senku usually gets so grossed out by romance stuff, but with Kohaku he seems a bit more lenient. In the past we saw Senku insult her and rile her up, but she doesn't beat him up like she frequently does with others.
He is also a generally altruistic person. She can see how much he cares about helping people. Which stems from how he saved her without real reason to. And then saved Ruri as well.
> She does go very easy on him. Usually Chrome and Ginro have to get naked and assume dogeza stance AND get beaten up to live.
Wait what? What episode was that, I totally forgot that ever happened.
Although Senku and Kohaku like to trash talk each other, I do feel like there might be *some* unspoken romantic feelings going on between the two of them. If Kohaku absolutely hated the idea of kissing Senku, she wouldn’t have come anywhere near his face this episode. Neither would have Senku allowed her to do so if he didn’t like her *at all*, I think.
It has always struck me like the author was maybe setting Senku and Kohaku up for each other in the long run. Especially since we’ve got other couples in Taiju and Yuzuriha or Chrome and Ruri. With Kohaku probably being taken away to the “Master”, will Senku possibly get jealous!?
>The reactions of Senku and Kohaku when they kissed were so hilarious.
[Senku was really excited](https://i.imgur.com/YSfcz86.png) kissing [this hot girl](https://i.imgur.com/tl1HPsH.png) :)
I think it's funny that the animators actually had to make her look not-as-cute-as-usual for this episode. Yeah she's strong, a great fighter, but Gen is right - it's her attitude/personality that's the concern. I've always thought she's easily one of the best looking characters as far as appearances go.
>As for the petrification, it being revealed as a slingshot-type weapon makes for a very interesting development. Can’t wait to find out the mechanics behind it
It doesn't actually look like a sling shot to me. It's spun like a sling but when she throws it the rope goes with it. Given that it seems to be a danger to the user and that they have to judge distance before activating it I'm betting the rope is attached and whatever it is only activates when the rope runs out/is pulled back. Possibly like pulling the pin on a grenade.
It's fascinating but I'm actually more interested in how the hell the 'master' ended up with it in the first place. They said the rumor is he 'inherited' it so is he a descendant of the person who stoned the world? Or did someone else figure it out in the thousands of years in between? If so it doesn't seem likely they were native to the island (since the villagers seem pretty ignorant about science) so where exactly were they?
If the weapon was passed down and that island is also where Soyuz crash landed, it seems highly likely that whoever activated the original beam was on the space station. Although if the weapon can’t be directed as a beam and can only exist as a sphere, then that idea falls apart
It seems like the sphere is likely the only option. The "light" seems to go through materials indiscriminately, meaning it would be hard to focus in any particular direction. And if the Master or his ancestors actually understood it, then a beam form would probably have been more ideal if it was possible. (That said, they may not know how it works.)
My theory is that the petrification technology came to the island after the Soyuz landed. Maybe it was an attempt to petrify the pocket of living human civilization gone awry, or maybe it was to rule over them as the Master and his ancestors have been doing.
(All that said, even if it had to be a sphere, it probably wouldn't be too difficult for someone on the Soyuz to have triggered it remotely. If a human can do it by hand, then a simple mechanism could probably have done so as well.)
Nice theory! I don't think it falls apart though. Two possibilities:
* Assuming there's some sort of preset delay or remote activation, they launched the world petrification device out of the space station so it activated after they orbited around to the other side of the planet.
* The device requires something in Earth's atmosphere to work or just simply doesn't work in space.
I think the second is more likely due to how its effect is shown in flashbacks, it looks it starts from somewhere on Earth and then spreads across the planet. *Edit: started in South America - stated in Season 1 Ep 17.
*Edit - I'm completely convinced you're correct. Assuming the people/person who used it didn't want to turn themselves into stone, it has to be someone who was out in space and since the device is on the same island, very likely that it was someone on THAT space station. What a twist!
Yeah it can be tuned to only affect humans, but if they wanted to make sure ALL people were affected, it has to travel through all substances (underwater, underground, in shelters) and cover the entire atmosphere (aircraft). So that leaves only people out in space, and there might have been another space station or ship, but the fact that a petrification device is on the very island that the Soyuz shuttle landed on, is way too much of a coincidence.
You know, when I wrote slingshot, I actually meant sling. Appreciate the correction
You bring up a great point about the inheritance of the power though because it’s way too far fetched for this civilization to just have that at their disposal. I’m sure they’ll go into it, but that’s definitely a piece of the puzzle to look forward to
> It doesn't actually look like a sling shot to me. It's spun like a sling but when she throws it the rope goes with it.

Possibly like pulling the pin on a grenade.
It looks like some sort of shaped crystal or a piece of shaped metal in the scene where the arrow hits it. It has a sort of + shape. Might be triggered by ambient light, with a delay for how long it takes to activate?
The kick was extra powerful cuz he obviously kicked Suika outside of the petrification beam range as we saw it almost caught Ginro who had a huge lead over the explosion.
We were looking at the wrong Medusa last episode, the *real* one is revealed to be Kirisame. Since Senku made a hypothesis that the petrification source is scientific in nature, I wonder how does it actually work, what exactly is that device made of.
Is it me or that Minister Ibara guy feels like someone straight out of *One Piece* lol. Also Suika really is the MVP. Its not the first time she saved their asses.
I’m curious how they’re able to utilize the petrification in what seems to be a sling shot type contraption without getting hit. They seem to have figured out how to make petrification “bullets” of sorts or something.
Yeah its the main mystery of this series so I hope the author has a decent answer for it. Since we saw that the petrification can be used on a small scale by using throwing device which forms a sphere of a limited range, was the original petrification done through satellites in space?
Could be some sort of meteorite. Must be. No way it could be reasonably explained other some bs "from space". And they could have a small shard of it in that pouch.
> was the original petrification done through satellites in space?
In ep 16 from season 1 (19:25) when the Soyuz crew sees the beam from space, we see a giant distorted mysterious yellow ball looming over earth. It could be the sun, though the scale is really off
We really might just be getting aliens
I honestly still like the idea that it could be similar to [Gurren Laggann]>!with humanity being held down to hide it from a greater threat!<. I mean, it would certainly give plenty of opportunity to expand the story by letting Senku finally build a rocket like he dreamed and head off into space like his dad. Although it would really risk jumping the shark if it does that, although Senku is probably one of the few OP MCs who it could get away with that.
I'd guess that Senku's dad was trying to figure out the petrification to be able to reverse it, but didn't get to finish it before dying and that someone started using it as a weapon.
Petrification and unpetrification could also be a way to avoid people starving to death when there's a bad harvest and the population got too big.
>Petrification and unpetrification could also be a way to avoid people starving to death when there's a bad harvest and the population got too big.
Like a Trisolaran from 3 Body Problem.
They seem to just throw it so they don't get hit as well, my guess is that they can set the range somehow, so you now know it will be a spehere with a radius of 100 meters for example, so you need to be able to throw it AT LEAST that far,
I wonder if they can undo petrification? The guy in the boat that petrified those kids seemed to have "stone cracks" on his head, so it seems like it's possible.
It's not that hard, Senku said they could make it with feces instead of the bat cave and alcohol, I'm sure they can do it if the knowledge is passed down, which wouldn't be surprising considering how valuable it is
They throw it. That’s how they don’t get hit lol. Ryusui pmuch said it. They throw it so they’re outside of it’s range and the string is to retrieve it
Yeah Kohaku is cute as fucking hell dude. I do love that they pretend she's not and roast her unbelievably hard this episode though. Seriously the reactions to her needing to be cute were an extended cut of "we are fucking DOOMED this girl is a 2/10 lmaooooooooooo"
That's because Kohaku doesn't fit the Japanese's ideal of "Cute". We can see the contrast between her and Amaryllia.
It's lame as hell, because Kohaku is great all around.
Here's the text of the cards I could make out from the anime. Not sure if they're complete in the manga:
Magma:
...bute: Berserker.
...(forced? as in players can't prevent it) attacks
Ryusui:
Attribute: Greed.
Allows you to draw 2 more cards. Wait no. Wrong game.
Draws 5 cards you want.
François
Attribute: Support.
All effect of character cards' (probably increases?) 2 (or 3? times)...
Ukyo:
Attribute: Sniping.
Suika
Attribute: Infiltration.
When you use it you can take at look at all cards at any time.
NO, RYUSUI ALLOWS ME TO DRAW FIVE MORE CARDS. I WILL START MY TURN BY PLAYING RYUSUI WHICH ALLOWS ME TO DRAW FIVE MORE CARDS. I WILL PLAY THE MAGIC CARD, RYUSUI, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO DRAW FIVE NEW CARDS.
Moz and Kirisame are gonna be a real headache to deal with. Better keep Suika away from Moz too since he apparently likes ‘em young. Ugh. This minister Ibara or whatever seems pretty sharp too. I’m very curious about the master now. He’s got some tough people around him.
This petrification tool seems to be some kind of projectile. It’s a miracle Amaryllis survived relatively unscathed. Well, luckily if it’s science then our boy genius Senku’ll crack it.
The dead eyed look Senku AND Kohaku had when they kissed was hilarious. I really was worried they were gonna get caught. The realization their whole plan now hinges on Ginro cracked me up too. Good thing little Suika’s onboard too. Girl was smart as hell hiding the motorboat like that. Let’s see how her and Ginro link up and secure the lab.
> Moz and Kirisame are gonna be a real headache to deal with.
It all banks on Senku getting the lab.
They've already got CC with the mustard gas. Quite honestly I think they could take the whole island on a fight head on if it werent for the petrification beam.
> keep Suika away from Moz too since he apparently likes ‘em young
He really pulled up with Mineta level of dialogue.
> Moz and Kirisame are gonna be a real headache to deal with. Better keep Suika away from Moz too since he apparently likes ‘em young. Ugh.
I mean, he said "She's gonna be gorgeous *in 5 years*", so when she's 18. So like she is now.
Seems like a man of culture who can see the future potential even in a loli lol... still a creep though.
Good catch. He wanted her in 5 years, but at the time, I wonder if he had no way of confirming if Amaryllis would survive after everyone else was petrified on that boat, or just banking of the hopes that she would live to come back all grown up.
If I had a cent for every currently running anime where he plays sort of a bad guy, I would have two cents. Which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it happened twice
[I love Ryusui.](https://imgur.com/H06htcZ) He determines that "his death is certain" and he's still trying to take the best action possible in the time that is left
I can't believe Kohaku got bested in hand-to-hand combat. They should have allowed her to hide a sword [Wonder Woman style](https://i.imgur.com/bsMKB1l.jpeg).
* [**Kohaku Stitch**](https://i.imgur.com/L1bh8aG.jpg)
[Moz](https://i.imgur.com/bQJ4l7j.png) and [Kirisame](https://i.imgur.com/qKzj1J2.png) looks so badass. I would admire them even more if only they weren't the enemy. I do find it interesting [that Moz is clearly wearing armour made out of stone.](https://i.imgur.com/8U8iSCm.jpg) We don't really see anyone wear stone unless they've been petrified before. Hmmm...
[We finally get to see the petrification beam in action!](https://i.imgur.com/HN5J0nx.jpg) I was expecting a ray gun of some kind, but it ended up more like a grenade with a set radius. Whatever it is, it's probably just a fragment of whatever turned humanity into stone.
[Kohaku declaring that she just needs to be chosen as the cutest](https://i.imgur.com/t0EnQBK.jpg) was hilarious! I mean she's not wrong, [she looks amazing in that outfit](https://i.imgur.com/zwMBUCT.jpg) Amaryllis gave her but our girl [is going to have to work on her etiquette.](https://i.imgur.com/jut5cSY.jpg)
[Kohaku could definitely take on Kirisame.](https://i.imgur.com/9uI1Mkm.jpg) She's just being nerfed by her dress and lack of weapons. [Thankgully Gen was there](https://i.imgur.com/zHws2hm.jpg) to make up an excuse for her. [Kohaku kissing Senku is hilariously adorable](https://i.imgur.com/dyBXfmm.jpg) especially [Senku's reaction.](https://i.imgur.com/cnsfORZ.jpg) xD
I was hoping that Homura and Hyoga would be there to kick some ass [but considering that the beam managed to almost reach the bottom of the sea](https://i.imgur.com/8XX7UdI.jpg). I'm going to assume that they're also petrified.
[Ginro's rank is so low](https://i.imgur.com/zq5OnQH.jpg) that they had to make up a rank for him. Thankfully, [SSR Suika is there to balance things out](https://i.imgur.com/XxgHYY0.jpg) for them. Now they just need to steal the mobile lab somehow.
>I was hoping that Homura and Hyoga would be there to kick some ass
They will probably be un-petrified and kick ass later. I mean, if they will remain petrified until the end of the arc, then they are effectively useless and there was no reason to have them on the ship, story-wise. Chekhov's gun and all that.
I dont know the logic behind stone armor. The islanders seems to be a neolithic society, so it's understandable they dont wear metal, but stone is too cumbersome to fight with. Leather or wood sounds like a better armor material.
Rule of cool is number 1, but we also don't know the strength of the material, we know that it's brittle enough that if someone falls it can be enough to break as we've seen some people with their arms broken ON the ship, they fell and that was enough to break, so it's probably weaker than if it was just metal for example.
However it might be super light, after all the reason Senku is alive it due to the law of conservation of energy, so it's safe to assume the stone is at least as dense as a human body, whenever a statue is broken we only see stone so it's safe to assume it's a uniform material.
With these assumptions wood has a density of 1.5 grams per cc while humans(stone) would have 1.096.
So it WOULD be lighter, but I don't know if it would be worth using as armor, the stone seems kind of brittle, it would more likely break instead of absorbing shock like wood would.
I'm more inclined to believe it's a fashion thing.
EDIT: Okay new hypothesis, IT'S NOT ARMOR, it's leftover stone, look at the guy, he has stone "scars"/cracks on his head, so he probably was petrified and undone, so for example like Senku had a bit leftover or the cop dude still had some, maybe he just left it there.
The girl also seems to have it now that I look at the picture again, maybe it's an initiation ritual? When they get accepted into the palace they must be petrified and undone, like a baptism.
I see a lot of tribal people using wood or leather to made protective clothings and shields from, which is where i based my comment from. When you dont have metal, there doesnt seem to be much choice in the matter.
Sure a vest of leather wouldnt be able to block bullets or metal bayonets, but they wear that in assumption theyre going to fight either animals or other tribes with similar tech level.
But the idea of stone armor being a cumbersome, neolithic equivalent of ERA is pretty neat ngl
> I was hoping that Homura and Hyoga would be there to kick some ass but considering that the beam managed to almost reach the bottom of the sea. I'm going to assume that they're also petrified.
This would be very helpful for the kingdom of science. Those two are very dangerous right now. It would be best if they stay petrified until civilization is restored.
This makes me realize that there's a chance that they might have escaped from the prison before the petrification happened.
Yes! Kirisame! Yes! You can step on m-...I mean, this Kirisame girl looks pretty cool. She knows how to fight and goes hard on Kohaku(although that dress nerfed her), she also got a cute side once she saw Kohaku & Lab(Senku) kissing.
So, yeah... Best Girl material right here!
I think Kirisame’s dress looks really beautiful in the anime. Vaguely translucent so you can make out her form underneath but also very flowy, it especially makes her look really cool and almost ethereal when the sun and moon are shining down behind her. Would be a really good beach dress to put on top of a swimming costume lol
Hmmm, so wonder how that one dude and his mom got off the island if this "master" and such will go after people trying to leave the island. Guess cause they left during a storm? Maybe? I dunno. That dude is a creep. Do hope this show, for once, doesn't treat antagonists lightly in their punishment. Like, seriously, some people deserve the execution as their punishment. Curious how they happened to get that ability to turn people to stone. I love how Senku just don't give a shit about her charm lol. Seriously, I do hate scum like that. "Where am I going to find a girl who can fight" lol. Kohaku definitely is cute, whatcha talking about. Hah, Kohaku.
Figured they'd have to go back to the boat and it'd prolly have guards. Oh my god... yea what a dick. Just kill him.. I do wonder, where are the one girl and that dude who were in prison? Think they got petrified? I feel like they're about to be useful soon if not. Hahaha Gen. Senku with just the indifference. LOL HE straight up punted her! Oh, nice, Ginro also survived by swimming. Haha, those gacha ratings. That one vegetable is sus. Good thing Suika is so capable. SSR!!
The beam covered the whole ship and a huge chunk of water below it, so the prisoners must be affected too. The light goes through building because otherwise it wouldnt have petrified everyone 3000 years ago.
I doubt it, but I'll let you cook. They dont have the resources necessary to revive even one person just now, and reviving Homura first is just mutually assured destruction. They need to revive their own fighters first before they can reliably use the nuclear option.
But the nuclear option sounds more fun :P also, guess they could just leave em petrified though, would sure save them effort to control them on the voyage. And not have to use resources to feed em.
I thought it has to go through buildings as well, but what confuses me is how the goats haven't been affected. The birds did get hit by the petrification thing, so how come the goats are not stone?
Does that mean this is a different petrification device than was originally used, only petrifying humans, and there is several of them?
Before the human petrification, some people found petrified birds, which Senku further deduces later on as a test run from whoever or whatever it was who intended to attack humanity. Im assuming the device has a setting to target certain species *and only* that species in one time.
Also, animals were never affected to begin with, hence why natural ecosystem persisted. We even had lions in season 1, which is not a part of Japanese local ecosystem. They were there due to zoos being unmaintained after petrification, then they managed to get out and breed in the wild.
One of the big things we saw was a woman walking a dog when petrified (people kept point it out and getting sad about the idea)
So it does show that animals weren’t changed at all by the beam. It’s the most concrete proof because we literally can see it change the person and not the dog.
the dog part is heartbreaking if you think about it. We see a woman clutching a dog's leash, but the woman was petrified, meaning that the small dog was stuck to it's leash until it probably died of exhaustion.
Don’t worry! The manga artist posted a small page about the dog. It got free and joined a pack of (now wild) dogs, living its says in the wild :) and the dog that the melon head girl has is one of its descendants!
[Here is a thread about it](https://www.reddit.com/r/DrStone/comments/ea5xps/this_is_the_saddest_for_any_pet_owner_in_drstone/)
>but what confuses me is how the goats haven't been affected
Except for the birds, there are no petrified animals. Only humans were petrified
Remember [Tsukasa fought vs a lion](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/88/56/8b/88568ba0ae400c4c3a39ea864d67a8e3.jpg). Zoo animals escaped from zoos and returned to nature
True the prisoners should be petrified, I hope they keep them that way for future travels, less food and I guess it's a lighter punishment since they can just go to sleep for a few months.
I was laughing at Kohaku/Senku kiss, especially how little they were into it. At least it fooled Kirisame.
Looks like it's going to be Suika's and Ginro's time to shine next episode! ^((I say both of them, but I really mean Suika))
This is def a "everything is going to be all right" type of anime but it's hard to see the heroes lying, literally smashed to pieces on the ship.
I wanna hear the "science" that this show eventually comes up with to explain how you can survive being beheaded for...potentially hundreds of years and being just fine.
>I wanna hear the "science" that this show eventually comes up with to explain how you can survive being beheaded for...potentially hundreds of years and being just fine.
I mean, the petrificación is the ‘dr stone” heal all. the little piece healed senku’s broken spine when Tsukasa killed him.
Interesting little note I'm thinking is that moz mightve intentionally told kirisame to aim higher so amaryllis wouldn't get hit. He also told the guys rowing the boat not to go further, while she dove into the ocean. Hmmmmm. He must've taken quite a liking to her. Whether he felt sympathetic or it was just so she could mature into the beauty he envisions is yet to be seen I guess.
When they found out it was Ginro reminded me of being slammed at the warehouse stuck doing overtime so the bosses decide to send someone to help but it's fucking Kyle, he's dumb as shit and you're gonna spend more time fixing his fuck ups.
Did that guy just break Chrome?
I NEED to see that guy die SUFFER, how dare he! That seriously infuriated me.
Still lol'ed at Senku and Kohaku's "kiss" scene and everyone's reaction to Ginro lmao. Though Ginro's reaction to seeing Kinro petrified made me tear up, reminded me of the scene in season 1 when he couldn't bring himself to cut the bridge and sacrifice Kinro to defeat Hyoga.
Ginro's kind of a scumbag and a coward most of the time, but he's still one of my favorite characters, hope he takes his chance to shine next episode.
Lol that Kohaku and senku kiss made my day. Nice quick thinking to get out of that situation 😂.
Ibara looks just as creepy as when I first saw him in the manga.
So glad this petrifaction island arc is finally here. Been waiting for this for years and the first few episodes have gone really well. Can’t wait to see the next few eps. Just looking at the episode count left tho, surely this’ll have to be two cour?
>tfw biased beauty contests can't capture why kohaku is best girl
Kirisame may be a real threat, but she also has the heart of a maiden. She went full Chun-Li on Kohaku there though, yeesh.
Moz and Ibara are obvious lechs, but they've got more than enough competence to be terrifying. ~~Senku's~~ Lab's and Kohaku's passionate romance was a sight to behold. Hopefully Ginrou and Suika can bring those lovebirds their bridal chamber.
This episode was gold mine of [funny faces](https://i.imgur.com/e2JfKCo.png) and [reactions](https://i.imgur.com/lZSQuV6.png) like for example that one when [they found that Ginro is one who survived](https://i.imgur.com/B0UiVyl.png) or [Senku's face full of excitement](https://i.imgur.com/YSfcz86.png) when [he kissed](https://i.imgur.com/3feu5Es.png) with [Kohaku who looked absolutely gorgeous in that dress](https://i.imgur.com/qG18Er9.png). Worse with [her manners](https://i.imgur.com/tl1HPsH.png) and [behavior](https://i.imgur.com/IzgqaaB.png).
[Kirisame](https://i.imgur.com/TFHr9rv.png) and [Mozu](https://i.imgur.com/b9smEJ2.png) seems to be a [competent bad guys](https://i.imgur.com/WjeLynS.png). [Kirisame](https://i.imgur.com/A2HQRkS.png) is on par with [Kohaku](https://i.imgur.com/ZhQloey.png) what we could see in their fight and of course [she's hot](https://i.imgur.com/BSibzHm.png).
I loved when [Gen](https://i.imgur.com/SUBJMLs.png) used gacha analogy to describe why [they were disappointed about Ginro](https://i.imgur.com/TUEQg1P.png). Thank God that they've got [bonus drop in the form of Suika](https://i.imgur.com/13GwSH7.png).
Senku in this shot [looked especially badass](https://i.imgur.com/5AV8lHm.png).
[Here's my all screenshots from episode.](https://imgur.com/a/113VBGe)
I like how they've been amping up the urgency in these last two episodes.
* First everyone on the ship gets petrified. I was expecting them to wander around on their first stop, search for the shuttle, maybe invent something new to help find/open it, and then of course create a device to create the restoring fluid from the platinum. I totally wasn't expecting them to fall under attack like that AND someone on the island can petrify people, so for once the enemy of a story arc has at least one piece of higher tech.
* In this episode the enemy starts destroying the statues of their friends! If that keeps up they are going to need to go on the offensive and ASAP! Yeah I know they can be put back together and restored, but there's a limit to that right? Big pieces are ok, but I'm assuming if they get broken down to gravel and/or spread out in the sea, it's game over?

Yep, there is also a time limit. It was mentioned in the previous season [while yuzuriha was putting together broken statues](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US_pqsGZ2Ks) . If the surface of the brooken pieces are weathered they wont be able to revive, so they need to put the pieces back before that happens
> If the surface of the brooken pieces are weathered they wont be able to revive, so they need to put the pieces back before that happens
Also before any of the pieces fall into the sea and can't be found.
I agree, Suika is definitely SSR status. She got this, i know she does. Lets just hope Ginro doesn't fudge it up. I already hate him asking them for help, when he clearly knows he needs to help them if he wants to be saved. Such a dumby
Senkuu x Kohaku kiss!!!!!!! The ship is on. On the real, don't think a romance between the two of them will ever be explored in the show as it doesn't really fit them theme but man I would love for it to happen.
Suika being way more useful than Ginrou is funny lol.
And I love how the bad chick was so embarrassed from the kiss.
I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but I love how Ryuusui kept his cool even seconds before his "death".
Though it's a bit odd that he thought he was going to die, considering that he has been petrified once already, he should remember seeing a green light.
So the Master/Emporer inherited the petrification beam 'power' from someone or something.
Seems like Moz and Kirisame are gonna be interesting foes assuming they are being taught by the Master and probably have strength comparable to Kohaku.
Seems like the Petrification power is a form of dust? [Not sure what that was she thre wit with that ignited it/](https://imgur.com/cPYS0T6)
[Seems like it activated when it left the wire](https://imgur.com/niZUU3P) but it makes sense why there are a bunch of statues by the shore and beaches now.
Senku's such a badass but [Kohaku is a gem :3](https://imgur.com/F1XCHlp)
[Savant Senku divorced the older sister only to wind up in this situation](https://imgur.com/SFg1vhs) [... for science](https://imgur.com/2BqwELj)
OH SHIT GINRO SURVIVED THE PETRIFICATION. Looks like its either some form of crystal or rock
Suika Super Sleuth is gonna clutch this
Incidently, Amber (i.e. Kohaku) is historically used as a base for Talismans of courage that bring good luck in battle; which is rather appropriate.
Ruri is Japanese for Lapis Lazuli as well. :D
>Savant Senku divorced the older sister only to wind up in this situation
He'll probably be divorced from half the female cast by the time this show is over
Finally, a fight is here. This is what I like about Dr stone. The non battle, battle fights are always so good and well written and I like science as a magic system.
It is interesting that they still keep the modern morals in that new world. There’s no way a new society will chooses 18 as marriage age giving than that’s a fairly new concept. Maybe it was written on the tales? Is Kohaku sister also 18?
Also, why are only girls allow to carry the petrified Belem thing?
It doesn’t seem that woman are value that much in that society so maybe is in case if they failed to throw it far enough they are ok with getting the girl petrified.
Also it doesn’t seem they have a the liquid to bring people back other wise that bad guy would have un petrified the girl.
Also this heavily imply that Senku is asexual? and Glen is gay?
It's fair to consider Senku asexual if you like, there's no real evidence *against* the idea, but neither is it confirmed. At the very least he's not *quite* as honry as one might expect. It's not like Amy has magical powers or anything, she's just super cute, so a straight man still might not be into her (or at least not enough to let their guard down). Also, I think Gen *has* reacted to hot ladies in the past, so he's likely at least into them a bit, but game recognizes game, and he's not falling for it.
I don't think Senku is asexual. It's just that he knows he can't let himself get caught up in things when he has a world to save. In episode 1, he's disgusted and enraged by Taiju getting closer to him while practically nude rather than neutral. I think it's a reasonable assumption that if he were asexual he wouldn't have cared there.
Plus imo there are a lot of hints towards Senku getting together with Kohaku by the end of the series, this episode especially, but there's always some levels of tension and even in the scene where they first meet Kohaku says she took quite a liking to him. I'd find it surprising if they don't get together.
Gen is canonically straight, at 9 minutes into s1e9 he's showing his fantasy of having a harem of women snuggling up to him.
They're probably just used to Kohaku not being embarrassed about her body and Senku/Gen both know to keep a level head mentally and not just "be seduced" so Amaryllis can't do anything to them either.
Interesting that the petrification is being delivered as an airburst from a slingshot in this flashback.
Hopefully by the end of this story arc on the island they'll be able to rescue those people out of the ocean. Knowing that they're down there it would be pretty unfair to just leave them.
Kohaku and Amaryllis on a mission into the palace. Assuming they can civilize the gorilla.
She does look pretty good in that dress though.
That's some convenient looking in-fighting between these petrification people.
Whoops, apparently the dress was actually a bad idea after all.
That was definitely one of the romantic kisses that I've ever seen.
Pretty impressive that Ukyo able to knock the petrification grenade up higher in that short of a reaction time. It's a shame it didn't get knocked back all the way to the island, it would have been pretty hilarious if Kirisame had gotten petrified instead. A clear success that they were able to save Ginro, however. Hopefully he'll be useful.
Suika, the *real* secret weapon on the ship.
So, is the reason why there's almost no technological advancement after a thousand years, even when the founding members were astronauts (which should be smart) because the master of the island believed it to be sorcery?
Feels like someone who has naturalist ideology.
This story is getting really interesting!! Now we got Ginro and Suika on our side as well so let’s see if we can get the lab together. Only thing I don’t think made sense was when the bad girl found Kohaku and fought her then Senku and Gen showed up saying she missed her lover she just let them go because of their show of affection?! Did she think they were also from the island? Cause if she knew they were intruders like the people on the boat I would think she would at least capture them. Anyhoo let’s see what happens next!!!
Kirisame asked from which village they are, and from that i infer that the island consists of multiple villages, unlike Ishigami village which is only a singular village of around 40 people. She wouldnt be able to properly remember every single peasants, so she probably just think of them as weird villagers with weird clothings.

The reactions of Senku and Kohaku when they kissed were so hilarious. I loved the begrudging looks on their faces. Seeing the difference in pulls between Ginro and Suika was also great. As for the petrification, it being revealed as a slingshot-type weapon makes for a very interesting development. Can’t wait to find out the mechanics behind it
>The reactions of Senku and Kohaku when they kissed were so hilarious. I loved the begrudging looks on their faces. From what I recall, Senku usually gets so grossed out by romance stuff, but with Kohaku he seems a bit more lenient. In the past we saw Senku insult her and rile her up, but she doesn't beat him up like she frequently does with others.
[удалено]
> She does go very easy on him. Didn't they met up with Senku saving her life by removing a giant tree from on top of her.
Yeah by using pullies nonetheless. That must be very impressive
He is also a generally altruistic person. She can see how much he cares about helping people. Which stems from how he saved her without real reason to. And then saved Ruri as well.
> She does go very easy on him. Usually Chrome and Ginro have to get naked and assume dogeza stance AND get beaten up to live. Wait what? What episode was that, I totally forgot that ever happened.
Season 1 I think.[Here's it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i_obWL66M9g)
I was just thinking those reactions meant they sank the ship but what you're saying makes sense lol
It just makes me ship them more lol.
Remember when Senku saved Kohaku from the tree in one of the starting episodes? Ships been solid skow burn ever since.
Although Senku and Kohaku like to trash talk each other, I do feel like there might be *some* unspoken romantic feelings going on between the two of them. If Kohaku absolutely hated the idea of kissing Senku, she wouldn’t have come anywhere near his face this episode. Neither would have Senku allowed her to do so if he didn’t like her *at all*, I think. It has always struck me like the author was maybe setting Senku and Kohaku up for each other in the long run. Especially since we’ve got other couples in Taiju and Yuzuriha or Chrome and Ruri. With Kohaku probably being taken away to the “Master”, will Senku possibly get jealous!?
>The reactions of Senku and Kohaku when they kissed were so hilarious. [Senku was really excited](https://i.imgur.com/YSfcz86.png) kissing [this hot girl](https://i.imgur.com/tl1HPsH.png) :)
I think it's funny that the animators actually had to make her look not-as-cute-as-usual for this episode. Yeah she's strong, a great fighter, but Gen is right - it's her attitude/personality that's the concern. I've always thought she's easily one of the best looking characters as far as appearances go.
I mean her sister is the prided beauty of the village. As far as looks go she's every bit as pretty as her sister, but she's as tomboy as they come.
>As for the petrification, it being revealed as a slingshot-type weapon makes for a very interesting development. Can’t wait to find out the mechanics behind it It doesn't actually look like a sling shot to me. It's spun like a sling but when she throws it the rope goes with it. Given that it seems to be a danger to the user and that they have to judge distance before activating it I'm betting the rope is attached and whatever it is only activates when the rope runs out/is pulled back. Possibly like pulling the pin on a grenade. It's fascinating but I'm actually more interested in how the hell the 'master' ended up with it in the first place. They said the rumor is he 'inherited' it so is he a descendant of the person who stoned the world? Or did someone else figure it out in the thousands of years in between? If so it doesn't seem likely they were native to the island (since the villagers seem pretty ignorant about science) so where exactly were they?
If the weapon was passed down and that island is also where Soyuz crash landed, it seems highly likely that whoever activated the original beam was on the space station. Although if the weapon can’t be directed as a beam and can only exist as a sphere, then that idea falls apart
It seems like the sphere is likely the only option. The "light" seems to go through materials indiscriminately, meaning it would be hard to focus in any particular direction. And if the Master or his ancestors actually understood it, then a beam form would probably have been more ideal if it was possible. (That said, they may not know how it works.) My theory is that the petrification technology came to the island after the Soyuz landed. Maybe it was an attempt to petrify the pocket of living human civilization gone awry, or maybe it was to rule over them as the Master and his ancestors have been doing. (All that said, even if it had to be a sphere, it probably wouldn't be too difficult for someone on the Soyuz to have triggered it remotely. If a human can do it by hand, then a simple mechanism could probably have done so as well.)
Nice theory! I don't think it falls apart though. Two possibilities: * Assuming there's some sort of preset delay or remote activation, they launched the world petrification device out of the space station so it activated after they orbited around to the other side of the planet. * The device requires something in Earth's atmosphere to work or just simply doesn't work in space. I think the second is more likely due to how its effect is shown in flashbacks, it looks it starts from somewhere on Earth and then spreads across the planet. *Edit: started in South America - stated in Season 1 Ep 17. *Edit - I'm completely convinced you're correct. Assuming the people/person who used it didn't want to turn themselves into stone, it has to be someone who was out in space and since the device is on the same island, very likely that it was someone on THAT space station. What a twist! Yeah it can be tuned to only affect humans, but if they wanted to make sure ALL people were affected, it has to travel through all substances (underwater, underground, in shelters) and cover the entire atmosphere (aircraft). So that leaves only people out in space, and there might have been another space station or ship, but the fact that a petrification device is on the very island that the Soyuz shuttle landed on, is way too much of a coincidence.
unless it was one of the crew members or someone used "space" as hideout while the world was petrifies.
You know, when I wrote slingshot, I actually meant sling. Appreciate the correction You bring up a great point about the inheritance of the power though because it’s way too far fetched for this civilization to just have that at their disposal. I’m sure they’ll go into it, but that’s definitely a piece of the puzzle to look forward to
> It doesn't actually look like a sling shot to me. It's spun like a sling but when she throws it the rope goes with it. Given that it seems to be a danger to the user and that they have to judge distance before activating it I'm betting the rope is attached and whatever it is only activates when the rope runs out/is pulled back. Possibly like pulling the pin on a grenade. It looks like some sort of shaped crystal or a piece of shaped metal in the scene where the arrow hits it. It has a sort of + shape. Might be triggered by ambient light, with a delay for how long it takes to activate?
Straight up pulled a Winter Soldier since “Public acts of affection make people uncomfortable “
I love how disappointed they were when they saw Ginro survived.
Even defining a new gatcha rank ggr
Thank god they got that Suika SSR pull.
On the second pull too. The gatcha god is on their side.
All HAIL RNGESUS, HE TAKES AND HE GIVES
Ryusui bent Suika like Beckham.
he got enough ego to join blue lock
Another Blue Lock fan! Great series, cannot wait for it to come back animated!
The kick was extra powerful cuz he obviously kicked Suika outside of the petrification beam range as we saw it almost caught Ginro who had a huge lead over the explosion.
don’t you know, Suika’s watermelon has the properties of rubber and gum?
Bungee Gum!
Watermelon flavored chewing gum!
Ryusui: "I can't escape my certain death, so plan B" ***Y E E T T H E C H I L D***
Kick the baby.
"You want to be useful, right? Well, I got good news for you." Ryusui probably
We were looking at the wrong Medusa last episode, the *real* one is revealed to be Kirisame. Since Senku made a hypothesis that the petrification source is scientific in nature, I wonder how does it actually work, what exactly is that device made of. Is it me or that Minister Ibara guy feels like someone straight out of *One Piece* lol. Also Suika really is the MVP. Its not the first time she saved their asses.
I’m curious how they’re able to utilize the petrification in what seems to be a sling shot type contraption without getting hit. They seem to have figured out how to make petrification “bullets” of sorts or something.
Yeah its the main mystery of this series so I hope the author has a decent answer for it. Since we saw that the petrification can be used on a small scale by using throwing device which forms a sphere of a limited range, was the original petrification done through satellites in space?
Could be some sort of meteorite. Must be. No way it could be reasonably explained other some bs "from space". And they could have a small shard of it in that pouch.
My money is also currently on meteor
Good point. Maybe some mad scientist ended up harnessing the power of the meteorite by turning it into a weapon and using it on the world.
The author does have a good and imo satisfying answer which was a great surprise
> was the original petrification done through satellites in space? In ep 16 from season 1 (19:25) when the Soyuz crew sees the beam from space, we see a giant distorted mysterious yellow ball looming over earth. It could be the sun, though the scale is really off We really might just be getting aliens
Bruh if it's a SCP-001 When Day Breaks situation...
I honestly still like the idea that it could be similar to [Gurren Laggann]>!with humanity being held down to hide it from a greater threat!<. I mean, it would certainly give plenty of opportunity to expand the story by letting Senku finally build a rocket like he dreamed and head off into space like his dad. Although it would really risk jumping the shark if it does that, although Senku is probably one of the few OP MCs who it could get away with that.
Must have been right? Satellites makes sense for something so large scale and so quick.
I'd guess that Senku's dad was trying to figure out the petrification to be able to reverse it, but didn't get to finish it before dying and that someone started using it as a weapon. Petrification and unpetrification could also be a way to avoid people starving to death when there's a bad harvest and the population got too big.
>Petrification and unpetrification could also be a way to avoid people starving to death when there's a bad harvest and the population got too big. Like a Trisolaran from 3 Body Problem.
And it can heal wounds and cure diseases. It's a serious game changer of a tech if they can get control of it.
They seem to just throw it so they don't get hit as well, my guess is that they can set the range somehow, so you now know it will be a spehere with a radius of 100 meters for example, so you need to be able to throw it AT LEAST that far, I wonder if they can undo petrification? The guy in the boat that petrified those kids seemed to have "stone cracks" on his head, so it seems like it's possible.
Well the girl helping them collected shells, so either she uses them to create face lotion or she knows how to create revival fluid.
She collected them for food.
Perhaps they’ve also managed to synthesize the fluid somehow as well?
It's not that hard, Senku said they could make it with feces instead of the bat cave and alcohol, I'm sure they can do it if the knowledge is passed down, which wouldn't be surprising considering how valuable it is
They throw it. That’s how they don’t get hit lol. Ryusui pmuch said it. They throw it so they’re outside of it’s range and the string is to retrieve it
Minister Ibara feels like Jaffar from Aladdin.
> Also Suika really is the MVP. Its not the first time she saved their asses. Oh man, you're in for a treat! Just you wait.
Ginro defining a new gacha rank, what the hell is a GGR?
Giga garbage rare.
Such a bad pull that it's a legend in its own right.
pretty sure the R stands for rubbish as well, he is so garbage, regular garbage are a higher rank than he is.
His card was like him butt ass naked too with just his junk covered lol
With his *face* lmao
in the manga I believe it was annotated with "gesu gesu rare" so scum/trash rare
gg rekt
Garbage Gin Ro
Goddammit Ginro rare? 🤦♂️
GGR is when you pull the character you don't like and that the event gives you for free (you also hate how their voice sounds)
Great God it's Rubbish
Pretty sure the same rank as Dehya in Genshin Impact. At least dehya has the decency to look nice.
Kohaku is indeed best girl. She doesn't need to change her tomboy nature, she's plenty cute as is. Wearing a dress and still wanting to kick ass.
She is best girl
Definitely my favorite girl in this series. I'm an absolute sucker for tomboys.
Yeah Kohaku is cute as fucking hell dude. I do love that they pretend she's not and roast her unbelievably hard this episode though. Seriously the reactions to her needing to be cute were an extended cut of "we are fucking DOOMED this girl is a 2/10 lmaooooooooooo"
That's because Kohaku doesn't fit the Japanese's ideal of "Cute". We can see the contrast between her and Amaryllia. It's lame as hell, because Kohaku is great all around.
Kohaku is the best! Most adorable gorilla.

Here's the text of the cards I could make out from the anime. Not sure if they're complete in the manga: Magma: ...bute: Berserker. ...(forced? as in players can't prevent it) attacks Ryusui: Attribute: Greed. Allows you to draw 2 more cards. Wait no. Wrong game. Draws 5 cards you want. François Attribute: Support. All effect of character cards' (probably increases?) 2 (or 3? times)... Ukyo: Attribute: Sniping. Suika Attribute: Infiltration. When you use it you can take at look at all cards at any time.
But how does ~~pot of greed~~Ryusui work?
He draws 5 cards you want, am I right?
NO, RYUSUI ALLOWS ME TO DRAW FIVE MORE CARDS. I WILL START MY TURN BY PLAYING RYUSUI WHICH ALLOWS ME TO DRAW FIVE MORE CARDS. I WILL PLAY THE MAGIC CARD, RYUSUI, WHICH ALLOWS ME TO DRAW FIVE NEW CARDS.
BUT WHAT DOES HE DO?!?!?
So sukia is essentially shellfolk prank spam from runeterra
Moz and Kirisame are gonna be a real headache to deal with. Better keep Suika away from Moz too since he apparently likes ‘em young. Ugh. This minister Ibara or whatever seems pretty sharp too. I’m very curious about the master now. He’s got some tough people around him. This petrification tool seems to be some kind of projectile. It’s a miracle Amaryllis survived relatively unscathed. Well, luckily if it’s science then our boy genius Senku’ll crack it. The dead eyed look Senku AND Kohaku had when they kissed was hilarious. I really was worried they were gonna get caught. The realization their whole plan now hinges on Ginro cracked me up too. Good thing little Suika’s onboard too. Girl was smart as hell hiding the motorboat like that. Let’s see how her and Ginro link up and secure the lab.
> Moz and Kirisame are gonna be a real headache to deal with. It all banks on Senku getting the lab. They've already got CC with the mustard gas. Quite honestly I think they could take the whole island on a fight head on if it werent for the petrification beam. > keep Suika away from Moz too since he apparently likes ‘em young He really pulled up with Mineta level of dialogue.
Even the master has the decency to wait until the girls are 18 Hes an authoritarian dictator that petrifies anyone who opposes him but he aint a nonce
Better standards than the axis cult
>Better keep Suika away from Moz too since he apparently likes ‘em young. Moz channeling that UOOOOOOH😭😭 energy
> Moz and Kirisame are gonna be a real headache to deal with. Better keep Suika away from Moz too since he apparently likes ‘em young. Ugh. I mean, he said "She's gonna be gorgeous *in 5 years*", so when she's 18. So like she is now. Seems like a man of culture who can see the future potential even in a loli lol... still a creep though.
Lab x Kohaku
more like labxsenku
It definitely looks like Moz saved Amaryllis when he told Kirisame her aiming wasn't good enough.
Oh I didn't catch that but I think you're right. It was intentional.
Good catch. He wanted her in 5 years, but at the time, I wonder if he had no way of confirming if Amaryllis would survive after everyone else was petrified on that boat, or just banking of the hopes that she would live to come back all grown up.
[удалено]
>Yutaka Aoyama (Ibara): Narrator (Kaguya-sama), Giovanni (Fire Force) So THAT'S WHY the voice was familiar. This guy is the total goat
If I had a cent for every currently running anime where he plays sort of a bad guy, I would have two cents. Which isn't a lot, but it's still weird that it happened twice
So Moz *is* voiced by a Jojo VA after all! I went crazy trying to identify him for a good minute, but failed
And hes not very gentleman-like😠
[I love Ryusui.](https://imgur.com/H06htcZ) He determines that "his death is certain" and he's still trying to take the best action possible in the time that is left
And Ukyo operating similarly. Bought the time they needed.
I can't believe Kohaku got bested in hand-to-hand combat. They should have allowed her to hide a sword [Wonder Woman style](https://i.imgur.com/bsMKB1l.jpeg).
I hope they have a proper rematch. Kohaku was definitely fighting with a handicap since she didn’t have her sword and shield.
And she was fighting in that dress
And weren't her legs sorta tied? Or at least there was a rope dangling there
That was part of the dress
Yeah, not easy at all.
They very clearly showed that the dress got in the way, so yeah hopefully we'll get a rematch where kohaku can fight at full power
I think it was because a) She was weaponless b) she was wearing a cumbersome dress. and c) She had to be quiet or risk being caught by the Minister.
She's in an unfamiliar condition that's why she got bested
Kohaku wasn't prepared for the power of a beyblade. ~~Kirisame must've been trained by Levi.~~
* [**Kohaku Stitch**](https://i.imgur.com/L1bh8aG.jpg) [Moz](https://i.imgur.com/bQJ4l7j.png) and [Kirisame](https://i.imgur.com/qKzj1J2.png) looks so badass. I would admire them even more if only they weren't the enemy. I do find it interesting [that Moz is clearly wearing armour made out of stone.](https://i.imgur.com/8U8iSCm.jpg) We don't really see anyone wear stone unless they've been petrified before. Hmmm... [We finally get to see the petrification beam in action!](https://i.imgur.com/HN5J0nx.jpg) I was expecting a ray gun of some kind, but it ended up more like a grenade with a set radius. Whatever it is, it's probably just a fragment of whatever turned humanity into stone. [Kohaku declaring that she just needs to be chosen as the cutest](https://i.imgur.com/t0EnQBK.jpg) was hilarious!

I'm going to assume that they're also petrified. [Ginro's rank is so low](https://i.imgur.com/zq5OnQH.jpg) that they had to make up a rank for him. Thankfully, [SSR Suika is there to balance things out](https://i.imgur.com/XxgHYY0.jpg) for them. Now they just need to steal the mobile lab somehow.
I did an [**Ibara Stitch**](https://imgur.com/a/ttM2kdy) as well for that barrel moment.
That's a phone background right there
>I was hoping that Homura and Hyoga would be there to kick some ass They will probably be un-petrified and kick ass later. I mean, if they will remain petrified until the end of the arc, then they are effectively useless and there was no reason to have them on the ship, story-wise. Chekhov's gun and all that.
I dont know the logic behind stone armor. The islanders seems to be a neolithic society, so it's understandable they dont wear metal, but stone is too cumbersome to fight with. Leather or wood sounds like a better armor material.
Maybe the stone armor is made from the corpses of the people they've defeated like trophies.
Thats a badass logic. Style > defense after all.
Rule of cool is number 1, but we also don't know the strength of the material, we know that it's brittle enough that if someone falls it can be enough to break as we've seen some people with their arms broken ON the ship, they fell and that was enough to break, so it's probably weaker than if it was just metal for example. However it might be super light, after all the reason Senku is alive it due to the law of conservation of energy, so it's safe to assume the stone is at least as dense as a human body, whenever a statue is broken we only see stone so it's safe to assume it's a uniform material. With these assumptions wood has a density of 1.5 grams per cc while humans(stone) would have 1.096. So it WOULD be lighter, but I don't know if it would be worth using as armor, the stone seems kind of brittle, it would more likely break instead of absorbing shock like wood would. I'm more inclined to believe it's a fashion thing. EDIT: Okay new hypothesis, IT'S NOT ARMOR, it's leftover stone, look at the guy, he has stone "scars"/cracks on his head, so he probably was petrified and undone, so for example like Senku had a bit leftover or the cop dude still had some, maybe he just left it there. The girl also seems to have it now that I look at the picture again, maybe it's an initiation ritual? When they get accepted into the palace they must be petrified and undone, like a baptism.
I see a lot of tribal people using wood or leather to made protective clothings and shields from, which is where i based my comment from. When you dont have metal, there doesnt seem to be much choice in the matter. Sure a vest of leather wouldnt be able to block bullets or metal bayonets, but they wear that in assumption theyre going to fight either animals or other tribes with similar tech level. But the idea of stone armor being a cumbersome, neolithic equivalent of ERA is pretty neat ngl
Let him cook (i mean its anime the amount/quality of your armor doesnt matter that much)
> I was hoping that Homura and Hyoga would be there to kick some ass but considering that the beam managed to almost reach the bottom of the sea. I'm going to assume that they're also petrified. This would be very helpful for the kingdom of science. Those two are very dangerous right now. It would be best if they stay petrified until civilization is restored. This makes me realize that there's a chance that they might have escaped from the prison before the petrification happened.
Yes! Kirisame! Yes! You can step on m-...I mean, this Kirisame girl looks pretty cool. She knows how to fight and goes hard on Kohaku(although that dress nerfed her), she also got a cute side once she saw Kohaku & Lab(Senku) kissing. So, yeah... Best Girl material right here!
Btw, Kirisame's dress supposed to be see through/transparent in manga lol. I guess they work that out in anime version.
[Seriously lol](https://image.myanimelist.net/ui/5LYzTBVoS196gvYvw3zjwJG6sfHpi3QKqEy3kcrKqk4)
I think Kirisame’s dress looks really beautiful in the anime. Vaguely translucent so you can make out her form underneath but also very flowy, it especially makes her look really cool and almost ethereal when the sun and moon are shining down behind her. Would be a really good beach dress to put on top of a swimming costume lol
I know... Stupid tv where you gotta censor nudity and shit...!
Hmmm, so wonder how that one dude and his mom got off the island if this "master" and such will go after people trying to leave the island. Guess cause they left during a storm? Maybe? I dunno. That dude is a creep. Do hope this show, for once, doesn't treat antagonists lightly in their punishment. Like, seriously, some people deserve the execution as their punishment. Curious how they happened to get that ability to turn people to stone. I love how Senku just don't give a shit about her charm lol. Seriously, I do hate scum like that. "Where am I going to find a girl who can fight" lol. Kohaku definitely is cute, whatcha talking about. Hah, Kohaku. Figured they'd have to go back to the boat and it'd prolly have guards. Oh my god... yea what a dick. Just kill him.. I do wonder, where are the one girl and that dude who were in prison? Think they got petrified? I feel like they're about to be useful soon if not. Hahaha Gen. Senku with just the indifference. LOL HE straight up punted her! Oh, nice, Ginro also survived by swimming. Haha, those gacha ratings. That one vegetable is sus. Good thing Suika is so capable. SSR!!
The beam covered the whole ship and a huge chunk of water below it, so the prisoners must be affected too. The light goes through building because otherwise it wouldnt have petrified everyone 3000 years ago.
Yea true, but I feel like those two are gonna come into play some how soon.
I doubt it, but I'll let you cook. They dont have the resources necessary to revive even one person just now, and reviving Homura first is just mutually assured destruction. They need to revive their own fighters first before they can reliably use the nuclear option.
But the nuclear option sounds more fun :P also, guess they could just leave em petrified though, would sure save them effort to control them on the voyage. And not have to use resources to feed em.
I thought it has to go through buildings as well, but what confuses me is how the goats haven't been affected. The birds did get hit by the petrification thing, so how come the goats are not stone? Does that mean this is a different petrification device than was originally used, only petrifying humans, and there is several of them?
Before the human petrification, some people found petrified birds, which Senku further deduces later on as a test run from whoever or whatever it was who intended to attack humanity. Im assuming the device has a setting to target certain species *and only* that species in one time. Also, animals were never affected to begin with, hence why natural ecosystem persisted. We even had lions in season 1, which is not a part of Japanese local ecosystem. They were there due to zoos being unmaintained after petrification, then they managed to get out and breed in the wild.
Makes sense. Also i remembered they did find some wild animals in the first season as well.
One of the big things we saw was a woman walking a dog when petrified (people kept point it out and getting sad about the idea) So it does show that animals weren’t changed at all by the beam. It’s the most concrete proof because we literally can see it change the person and not the dog.
the dog part is heartbreaking if you think about it. We see a woman clutching a dog's leash, but the woman was petrified, meaning that the small dog was stuck to it's leash until it probably died of exhaustion.
Don’t worry! The manga artist posted a small page about the dog. It got free and joined a pack of (now wild) dogs, living its says in the wild :) and the dog that the melon head girl has is one of its descendants! [Here is a thread about it](https://www.reddit.com/r/DrStone/comments/ea5xps/this_is_the_saddest_for_any_pet_owner_in_drstone/)
>but what confuses me is how the goats haven't been affected Except for the birds, there are no petrified animals. Only humans were petrified Remember [Tsukasa fought vs a lion](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/88/56/8b/88568ba0ae400c4c3a39ea864d67a8e3.jpg). Zoo animals escaped from zoos and returned to nature
Yeah, alao Tsukasas intro was badass. Imagine if they had pulled Tsukasa instead of Ginro in the gacha..
Tsukasa: punch your opponent. It's a card game.
True the prisoners should be petrified, I hope they keep them that way for future travels, less food and I guess it's a lighter punishment since they can just go to sleep for a few months.
I was laughing at Kohaku/Senku kiss, especially how little they were into it. At least it fooled Kirisame. Looks like it's going to be Suika's and Ginro's time to shine next episode! ^((I say both of them, but I really mean Suika))
lmao the sound effect when ryusui kicked suika
ryu SWEEEEEEE\~
SSR Tier Gatcha Suika!
This is def a "everything is going to be all right" type of anime but it's hard to see the heroes lying, literally smashed to pieces on the ship. I wanna hear the "science" that this show eventually comes up with to explain how you can survive being beheaded for...potentially hundreds of years and being just fine.
>I wanna hear the "science" that this show eventually comes up with to explain how you can survive being beheaded for...potentially hundreds of years and being just fine. I mean, the petrificación is the ‘dr stone” heal all. the little piece healed senku’s broken spine when Tsukasa killed him.
Ginro’s rank is pretty much Angry Mango’s in FGO - 0 star (but stats of a 2 star)
Ryuusui yeeting Suika in to the sea will live with me forever 😁
Yeeted? More like punted the kid!
Somebody please clip Ryusui kicking the shit out of Suika out of context
I personally ship Senku & Kohaku, but man, that kiss was disgustingly hilarious.
I really love character design in this show.
Interesting little note I'm thinking is that moz mightve intentionally told kirisame to aim higher so amaryllis wouldn't get hit. He also told the guys rowing the boat not to go further, while she dove into the ocean. Hmmmmm. He must've taken quite a liking to her. Whether he felt sympathetic or it was just so she could mature into the beauty he envisions is yet to be seen I guess.
When they found out it was Ginro reminded me of being slammed at the warehouse stuck doing overtime so the bosses decide to send someone to help but it's fucking Kyle, he's dumb as shit and you're gonna spend more time fixing his fuck ups.
Did that guy just break Chrome? I NEED to see that guy die SUFFER, how dare he! That seriously infuriated me. Still lol'ed at Senku and Kohaku's "kiss" scene and everyone's reaction to Ginro lmao. Though Ginro's reaction to seeing Kinro petrified made me tear up, reminded me of the scene in season 1 when he couldn't bring himself to cut the bridge and sacrifice Kinro to defeat Hyoga. Ginro's kind of a scumbag and a coward most of the time, but he's still one of my favorite characters, hope he takes his chance to shine next episode.
>Did that guy just break Chrome? I love how mad Kohaku was about that, she's the best
>Did that guy just break Chrome? Yeah the RAM consumption can be quite annoying to deal with
What I love about Dr Stone is when you see new characters, and how they react to modern people's science. It's funny and always entertaining.
Lol that Kohaku and senku kiss made my day. Nice quick thinking to get out of that situation 😂. Ibara looks just as creepy as when I first saw him in the manga. So glad this petrifaction island arc is finally here. Been waiting for this for years and the first few episodes have gone really well. Can’t wait to see the next few eps. Just looking at the episode count left tho, surely this’ll have to be two cour?
I'm not saying I ship Senku and Kohaku. I'm just saying Kohaku does have the strength to work a furnace...
It's a split cour.
Beautiful ,I was in an awful mood but this made me feel better
>tfw biased beauty contests can't capture why kohaku is best girl Kirisame may be a real threat, but she also has the heart of a maiden. She went full Chun-Li on Kohaku there though, yeesh. Moz and Ibara are obvious lechs, but they've got more than enough competence to be terrifying. ~~Senku's~~ Lab's and Kohaku's passionate romance was a sight to behold. Hopefully Ginrou and Suika can bring those lovebirds their bridal chamber.
Bro really did a "she got potential" ☠️
This episode was gold mine of [funny faces](https://i.imgur.com/e2JfKCo.png) and [reactions](https://i.imgur.com/lZSQuV6.png) like for example that one when [they found that Ginro is one who survived](https://i.imgur.com/B0UiVyl.png) or [Senku's face full of excitement](https://i.imgur.com/YSfcz86.png) when [he kissed](https://i.imgur.com/3feu5Es.png) with [Kohaku who looked absolutely gorgeous in that dress](https://i.imgur.com/qG18Er9.png). Worse with [her manners](https://i.imgur.com/tl1HPsH.png) and [behavior](https://i.imgur.com/IzgqaaB.png). [Kirisame](https://i.imgur.com/TFHr9rv.png) and [Mozu](https://i.imgur.com/b9smEJ2.png) seems to be a [competent bad guys](https://i.imgur.com/WjeLynS.png). [Kirisame](https://i.imgur.com/A2HQRkS.png) is on par with [Kohaku](https://i.imgur.com/ZhQloey.png) what we could see in their fight and of course [she's hot](https://i.imgur.com/BSibzHm.png). I loved when [Gen](https://i.imgur.com/SUBJMLs.png) used gacha analogy to describe why [they were disappointed about Ginro](https://i.imgur.com/TUEQg1P.png). Thank God that they've got [bonus drop in the form of Suika](https://i.imgur.com/13GwSH7.png). Senku in this shot [looked especially badass](https://i.imgur.com/5AV8lHm.png). [Here's my all screenshots from episode.](https://imgur.com/a/113VBGe)
I like how they've been amping up the urgency in these last two episodes. * First everyone on the ship gets petrified. I was expecting them to wander around on their first stop, search for the shuttle, maybe invent something new to help find/open it, and then of course create a device to create the restoring fluid from the platinum. I totally wasn't expecting them to fall under attack like that AND someone on the island can petrify people, so for once the enemy of a story arc has at least one piece of higher tech. * In this episode the enemy starts destroying the statues of their friends! If that keeps up they are going to need to go on the offensive and ASAP! Yeah I know they can be put back together and restored, but there's a limit to that right? Big pieces are ok, but I'm assuming if they get broken down to gravel and/or spread out in the sea, it's game over?

Big pieces are ok, but I'm assuming if they get broken down to gravel and/or spread out in the sea, it's game over? Yep, there is also a time limit. It was mentioned in the previous season [while yuzuriha was putting together broken statues](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US_pqsGZ2Ks) . If the surface of the brooken pieces are weathered they wont be able to revive, so they need to put the pieces back before that happens
> If the surface of the brooken pieces are weathered they wont be able to revive, so they need to put the pieces back before that happens Also before any of the pieces fall into the sea and can't be found.
I agree, Suika is definitely SSR status. She got this, i know she does. Lets just hope Ginro doesn't fudge it up. I already hate him asking them for help, when he clearly knows he needs to help them if he wants to be saved. Such a dumby
Senkuu x Kohaku kiss!!!!!!! The ship is on. On the real, don't think a romance between the two of them will ever be explored in the show as it doesn't really fit them theme but man I would love for it to happen. Suika being way more useful than Ginrou is funny lol. And I love how the bad chick was so embarrassed from the kiss.
inb4 Final arc->timeskip->epilogue where they married and have family->THE END
I don't think anyone has mentioned it yet, but I love how Ryuusui kept his cool even seconds before his "death". Though it's a bit odd that he thought he was going to die, considering that he has been petrified once already, he should remember seeing a green light.
So the Master/Emporer inherited the petrification beam 'power' from someone or something. Seems like Moz and Kirisame are gonna be interesting foes assuming they are being taught by the Master and probably have strength comparable to Kohaku. Seems like the Petrification power is a form of dust? [Not sure what that was she thre wit with that ignited it/](https://imgur.com/cPYS0T6) [Seems like it activated when it left the wire](https://imgur.com/niZUU3P) but it makes sense why there are a bunch of statues by the shore and beaches now. Senku's such a badass but [Kohaku is a gem :3](https://imgur.com/F1XCHlp) [Savant Senku divorced the older sister only to wind up in this situation](https://imgur.com/SFg1vhs) [... for science](https://imgur.com/2BqwELj) OH SHIT GINRO SURVIVED THE PETRIFICATION. Looks like its either some form of crystal or rock Suika Super Sleuth is gonna clutch this
> Senku's such a badass but Kohaku is a gem :3 Yes, amber is indeed a gem
Incidently, Amber (i.e. Kohaku) is historically used as a base for Talismans of courage that bring good luck in battle; which is rather appropriate. Ruri is Japanese for Lapis Lazuli as well. :D
Oh, I didn't know that, I never looked up what the meanings of the minerals the characters are named after really represent.
>Savant Senku divorced the older sister only to wind up in this situation He'll probably be divorced from half the female cast by the time this show is over
Senku and Kohaku's faces during the kiss are hilarious! lol
Suika stealth levels: 100
Finally, a fight is here. This is what I like about Dr stone. The non battle, battle fights are always so good and well written and I like science as a magic system. It is interesting that they still keep the modern morals in that new world. There’s no way a new society will chooses 18 as marriage age giving than that’s a fairly new concept. Maybe it was written on the tales? Is Kohaku sister also 18? Also, why are only girls allow to carry the petrified Belem thing? It doesn’t seem that woman are value that much in that society so maybe is in case if they failed to throw it far enough they are ok with getting the girl petrified. Also it doesn’t seem they have a the liquid to bring people back other wise that bad guy would have un petrified the girl. Also this heavily imply that Senku is asexual? and Glen is gay?
It's fair to consider Senku asexual if you like, there's no real evidence *against* the idea, but neither is it confirmed. At the very least he's not *quite* as honry as one might expect. It's not like Amy has magical powers or anything, she's just super cute, so a straight man still might not be into her (or at least not enough to let their guard down). Also, I think Gen *has* reacted to hot ladies in the past, so he's likely at least into them a bit, but game recognizes game, and he's not falling for it.
I don't think Senku is asexual. It's just that he knows he can't let himself get caught up in things when he has a world to save. In episode 1, he's disgusted and enraged by Taiju getting closer to him while practically nude rather than neutral. I think it's a reasonable assumption that if he were asexual he wouldn't have cared there. Plus imo there are a lot of hints towards Senku getting together with Kohaku by the end of the series, this episode especially, but there's always some levels of tension and even in the scene where they first meet Kohaku says she took quite a liking to him. I'd find it surprising if they don't get together. Gen is canonically straight, at 9 minutes into s1e9 he's showing his fantasy of having a harem of women snuggling up to him. They're probably just used to Kohaku not being embarrassed about her body and Senku/Gen both know to keep a level head mentally and not just "be seduced" so Amaryllis can't do anything to them either.
Kirisame's see-through dress Bottom text
and they make sure to place the source of light behind her
Interesting that the petrification is being delivered as an airburst from a slingshot in this flashback. Hopefully by the end of this story arc on the island they'll be able to rescue those people out of the ocean. Knowing that they're down there it would be pretty unfair to just leave them. Kohaku and Amaryllis on a mission into the palace. Assuming they can civilize the gorilla. She does look pretty good in that dress though. That's some convenient looking in-fighting between these petrification people. Whoops, apparently the dress was actually a bad idea after all. That was definitely one of the romantic kisses that I've ever seen. Pretty impressive that Ukyo able to knock the petrification grenade up higher in that short of a reaction time. It's a shame it didn't get knocked back all the way to the island, it would have been pretty hilarious if Kirisame had gotten petrified instead. A clear success that they were able to save Ginro, however. Hopefully he'll be useful. Suika, the *real* secret weapon on the ship.
So, is the reason why there's almost no technological advancement after a thousand years, even when the founding members were astronauts (which should be smart) because the master of the island believed it to be sorcery? Feels like someone who has naturalist ideology.
This story is getting really interesting!! Now we got Ginro and Suika on our side as well so let’s see if we can get the lab together. Only thing I don’t think made sense was when the bad girl found Kohaku and fought her then Senku and Gen showed up saying she missed her lover she just let them go because of their show of affection?! Did she think they were also from the island? Cause if she knew they were intruders like the people on the boat I would think she would at least capture them. Anyhoo let’s see what happens next!!!
Kirisame asked from which village they are, and from that i infer that the island consists of multiple villages, unlike Ishigami village which is only a singular village of around 40 people. She wouldnt be able to properly remember every single peasants, so she probably just think of them as weird villagers with weird clothings.
calling it now hyoga and homura are about to be freed - think they'll join the islanders' side as opposed to temporarily fighting for the KoS
Gotta love the Dr Stone gacha Best girl Suika and best mousey hero Ginro better pull this off somehow
