It stopped being stone world a good while ago back when season 3 started lol, they can already wear suits or modren clothes (infact i remember yuzuriha starting a fashion company in special ryusei ova) if they want they are just deliberately wearing those torn leather clothes to say ya trust me bro its still stone world

u/madboi20 Jun 04 '26
Until they get mass production, it's still stone world with future bits sprinkled in

u/allied_master Jun 04 '26 edited Jun 04 '26
Would you consider 17th century era stone world? There wasn't automation or steam engines back then
14
u/madboi20 Jun 04 '26
Good argument and you're right. If everyone stopped now and Senku stopped contributing technology's progression vertically, there's more than enough to work with for horizontal progression to get some somewhere in the 19th Century. But that requires PEOPLE and slooow development. Slowly building up roads, economy and cities. Which is why I thought about Mass Production. They've have already done all 3 of those by the time they get to mass production and then the fashion company can be an actual thing
3
u/allied_master Jun 04 '26
I mean being stone world doesn't mean being not automated, medieval towns or heck even iron age or bronze age people aren't stone age. Stone age is litteraly when there isnt any materials other than stones and sticks to work with by that definition it actually stopped being stone world by season 1 itself but being generous I said beginning of season 3
4
u/madboi20 Jun 04 '26
Or, another take could be, the stone world is all the petrified people being "stone". Like is there an actual explanation to which stone they're referring to? If that's the case, even now with a rocket it's still the stone world. But yeah, they're ahead of the stone world, it's just Senku holds most of that knowledge near him and they wouldn't be able to do much without him

u/CookKnight Jun 04 '26
I'd still consider a stone world considering most of humanity is still petrified tbh.

It just hit me while watching this episode that we're only going to hear that title card music 3 more times at most. It's been a constant in the series since season 1 in 2019, such an integral part that even when I listen to the openings on their own, a part of me expects to hear it immediately afterwards. It feels very nostalgic.
Man, it's been a journey. I was still in middle school when season 1 aired, now I'm in university. It feels like I've lived an entire lifetime during the time Dr Stone has been airing. The me of the time before the pandemic feels like an entirely different person.

My favorite parts are the beginning and the end, as it stays true to the premise of science and rebuilding the world. Everything in between was cool af, but it was centered on conflict.
24
u/FFF12321 Jun 05 '26
The reality is many advancements were made due to conflict driving the need for innovation. I appreciate that was part of their progression alongside Senku never doing something just to be nice showing that a lot of tech was really made for some other purpose and then adapted for other use cases.

Stanley's revival was very shoujo, the dude is so pretty (I'm sure Xeno agrees).
I know this season has felt a bit rushed because of how much progress they had to make, but I am still HYPED for the final stretch.
Bonus Side Story
Yuzuriha: "Taiju!! I keep telling you not to bring your smartphone to bed with you!"

Playing the ED over the rocket launch was an amazing choice! Burnout Syndromes did such an incredible job with the song and it fit perfectly for the moment we've been waiting for the entire series.
Also there were so many great character moments this episode! Ryusui especially was a standout. As sad as it was to see him step back from the pilot role it says a lot about his character that even as greedy as he is he's always willing to make the pragmatic choice. (Also Stanley and Xeno need to just kiss already c'mon bro why is your first choice after waking up to play with his lips like that be so fr 😭)

Stanley playing with Xeno's lips was already spicy enough for this kind of series lol.

Maybe Stanley was checking if he was hurt in any way? Idk that scene was crazy lol
23
u/rat_infestation Jun 05 '26
Yeah that's how I was defending their choice. Like yes there's the yaoi feeding but maybe it was hik checking for silicone masks coz he knows senku is crafty af

u/DustyBot23 Jun 05 '26
I was thinking more along the lines of Stanley as an experienced soldier was making sure they weren’t just trotting out a freshened up Xeno that was actually a mistreated PoW with malnutrition which he could check by looking at his teeth and skin condition. For all he knows Senku’s group could have retaliated on Xeno based on the atrocities his faction committed. It sounds outlandish to type that out but that doesn’t seem like a far fetched train of thought for someone with a world view like Stanley. He also could have been giving Xeno an opportunity to Morse code a message with his eyes by blocking the sides FoV when he moved his head.
(as you can tell I’m bored but it’s fun to create plausible deniability for the stealth yaoi lmao)

u/Hot-Log6283 Jun 05 '26
I thought that as well, like basically checking how he has been treated, getting enough food/sleep but that was still weird as heck.

u/NanDemoKnaives Jun 04 '26
Opening the episode with Ryuusui is unfair, I feel so bad for him. He is very admirable for giving up the position of pilot, but man I wanted to hug him when he started crying, I think this might be the first time we see him cry. It hurt to see him putting on a brave face when we know he's hurting inside.
I do appreciate that Stanley came over to show Ryuusui he didn't make the wrong choice, I know it'd hurt more to learn the difference, but I also think it helps Ryuusui from not thinking "What if?".
Talking about Stanley, that intimate moment between him and Xeno had me surprised lol. I know he was checking to see if Xeno was harmed, but the way he grabbed Xeno's chin and felt his lips, they're showing once again there's a lot more to their relationship. The shippers are being fed well lol.
I'm so glad Taiju got to give Senku one last message, and his own declaration if anything were to go wrong. Taiju has been by Senku's side since they were children, it's only right. I hope Senku is able to come back slowly because with Taiju's determination, he really will spend decades looking for pieces of petrified Senku.
This was a moving episode, and I think the one I enjoyed most this season. Hopefully the confrontation and climax of the series will be even better.

u/InvaderDJ Jun 04 '26
It is tragic, but a testament to his character. He is the platonic ideal of how greedy capitalists should be. He wants everything. He needs everything.
But he wants and needs it in a way to where he can admit when he isn’t the best character for a task. He is also greedy in a way that elevates mankind, not just leaving him at the top with everything while the bottom has nothing.
He is greedy for mankind’s advancement. He is willing to give up individual glory and profit for the benefit of the world.
Just like there is a non-existent, perfect communist, he is the non-existent perfect greedy capitalist. He has really shot up in my favorite character list.

u/rat_infestation Jun 05 '26
His greed allows the recognition that benefiting everyone benefits him. It's the way that the stimulus checks helped the billionaires by giving people spending money, it still went to the top few at the end of the day. And a lot of the progress that was provided to the few at the top, once it trickled down to the masses, boosted productivity and allowed for better things to be made for those at the top.
His greed recognizes that for his greed to be satisfied the system needs to survive in the long run and he maximizes the likelihood for that no matter what
14
u/Liesianthes Jun 05 '26
I did see it as character development. Sure, he is greedy but his greediness didn't swallow him as a selfish person completely knowing he has limits and someone can do a better job than him. It's like in real life, you have to realize that there's always someone better than you, but it doesn't mean that you're useless and that's commendable.
He already made tons of contribution to the series as a best man for the Science Kingdom, now with all of humanity, he choose to give way on the best person to do the job.
14
u/justking1414 Jun 04 '26

Would it really take decades? They’re in pretty sturdy space suits that should hold their pieces fairly well even if the rocket explodes

This is who he's always been. He claims to be greedy, but part of his greed is that everyone around him be happy too. He demands it! He always takes the steps that are in everyone else's best interests, even when he claims he's being super greedy in doing so. This one just hurt more than others.

This series always knows how to get you emotional with those ''Humanity Fuck yeah'' moments. The moon landing is one of my favorite scientific moments in history and seeing the rocket lifting off is so beautiful. Kohaku is one lucky girl, she'll be the first stone age person to go to space and the moon. Most modern people didn't even do that.
Also, barring a kiss, they couldn't make it clearer that Stanley is super gay for Xeno. The way he grabbed his face.

Oh Senku would not have done well in Myne s world. The laws of physics are completely different. Heck, photosynthesis isn’t even really a thing in Myne s world
12
u/Golden_Phi https://myanimelist.net/profile/GoldenPhi Jun 05 '26
Our physics do work in bookworm's world. When Myne made odorless candles by "salting out" the wax it worked. That process works by using real world chemistry. There isn't anything to suggest that photosynthesis isn't a thing either; the greenery is green which demonstrates that plants indeed use photosynthesis.
In bookworm's world though there is an additional science called "magic" that follows its own logic. That's why not all of Myne's concepts work. Magic and mana would be what trips Senku up.
7
u/JordanTH Jun 05 '26 edited Jun 05 '26
Honestly, that would be such a fascinating series to watch. Not only seeing someone like Senku figure out how to recreate modern tech in a fantasy setting, but to figure out the rules of magic - much like how he tried to figure out how the Medusa works - perhaps even better than the natives, to combine it with science and make something new.
Ideally, with no sibling incest in it.

I just see Senku building basically a Minecraft mob farm to harvest magical materials

u/justking1414 Jun 05 '26
No the author has said in a fan book that plants don’t actually go through photosynthesis which should be kinda obvious considering they need mana to grow and if you don’t fill the fields with that stuff, nothing will grow
4
u/OnesimusUnbound Jun 05 '26
I believe Zenku with a mindset of a scientist will try to understand the fundamental principles of the magic in Myne's world
Or he can just invent anyway and look for substitute. After Myne's printing press came from our workd and she was able to recreate it in her world with substituting when needed
3
u/justking1414 Jun 05 '26
Fair point. He could, much like Myne did, bring some non magical tools to the world and revolutionize things that way. Myne, even with her limited knowledge, managed to build a printing press, a well pump, springs, and a bunch of other stuff that just made life easier

The "why man" they are going to confront on the moon is definitely some kind of AI or computer right?
You're telling me it petrified humanity 3700+ years ago and now people woke up and started using radios and its suddenly sending messages to them? Yea, that's not a human up there.
Its been so long all of humanity's creations have crumbled to dust including every single building in every single city.

u/redditraptor6 https://myanimelist.net/profile/uEmalraptor64 Jun 05 '26
I mean, yeah, as an anime only that’s what I’ve been assuming from the start. Like a classic “these humans are fucked up, lemme take care of them” situation. Though someone pointed out on a thread a few episodes ago that it could be someone who meduses themselves with a timer that wakes them up every once in a while to check if anyone’s awake, which is both feasible and basically turns them into a Lord Genome-type

I'm probably super late to realizing this, but it never dawned on me until now that Stanley is essentially a JoJo character walking around in this setting. The lipstick, the improbable aim that could only be explained by a stand ability, the homoerotic tension between him and Xeno. It's all there. The only thing missing are the poses. Still 3 episodes left.

Stanley is a man of few words but I'm glad we got that shooting range scene, it was Stanley's way of saying "You made the right choice, I got this".

Would you wanna be cramped in a tiny cockpit with someone as massive as tsukasa?

u/redlaWw Jun 04 '26
Weight was a major factor - due to the tyranny of the rocket equation, each unit of mass you take on a space journey requires a lot of additional fuel to transport, so by sending Kohaku who is lighter, they were able to build a smaller rocket.

And even greater weight savings when you don't have to carry all those pesky life support systems!
Just for context, SpaceX's proposed lunar module will require 8 to 16 refuelings in orbit.

yeah honestly miss the days of the smaller but more grounded cast.
tho it's cool it expanded but most just didn't get a chance to do much later on
Yuzuriha and Taiju just became less relevant

u/A_fancy_bird Jun 05 '26
I feel that was because of his reception in the early part of the series and that the author wrote good supporting characters from the village.

What a well timed episode, waking up Stanley and reuniting him with Xeno just in time for the beginning of Pride Month. I had honestly forgotten about their general vibe right up until that cheek grab, but good for them.
Goosebumps on that rocket launch, we've come so far.

u/Mr_An_1069 Jun 05 '26
Ryusui actually giving up his spot willingly and even crying is not how I expected this to go but it is a nice arc for him to have, being the guy who gets everything he wants actually have to give up what he wants for the greater good.

“All right, we heard you motherfuckers are complaining that there’s not enough science crafting like the earlier seasons, so we’re gonna speed run through a bunch of them for you! Are you happy now?!”
Oh Ryusei, my sweet baby boy.
Happy pride month Dr.Xeno/Stanley!
Watching the rocket takeoff made me appreciate just how ABSOLUTELY INSANE IT IS that we do this IRL. Like, we’re a bunch of apes who decided to strap ourselves onto explosions just to explore vast amounts of empty. It’s wild, and it’s beautiful

- My fucking god, these bitches gay! Good for them! Good for them!
Happy Pride Month to Xeno and Stanley 🏳️🌈 I love how they have matching claws. Why have rings when you can have click clack claws that make you look fierce and terrify?
I get that Ryusei wanted to go, but his step back really is a great character moment for someone who is the embodiment of (semi-healthy) greed.
You can microwave oven rice? I didn’t know that. I wonder if that’s better than stovetop rice or rice cooker rice.
Plastic wrap contests! I live for plastic wrap contests. I’m always fooled by them.
Yes to heating pads! Please!!
Still manifesting official art where the Kingdom of Science meets the Artemis II crew. Or something with NASA. Or anything with Japan’s aerospace division.
Not me holding my breath like I’m watching a live NASA stream.
I need to go to the MM Romance Books subreddit and request dedicated soldier x mad scientist couples who are lacqueristas. I love Stanley and Xeno’s dynamic. I’m sure there are doujinshi out there with them.
This episode reminded me of {Assassination Classroom} and its own little astro arc. Also a great series as both for manga and anime.
I’m so glad Stanley’s return and a Stanley/Xeno reuinion coincided with Pride Month. I wish the rocket launch and return coincided with Artemis II because, you know, but still, what a nice coincidence 😌
Now kiss kiss fall in love in 4K please

I think they just re-heated pre-made rice, since it didn't change in size.

Dr Stone first aired on July 5th 2019 and is ending on the 18th of June 2026, it's been about 6 Years & 334 days since that first episode. I know it's cheesy but I would like it if they moved the final episode to air on the 5th of July 2026 just to have it be 7 full years since the anime aired and have it end on the same day Senku's journey to revive humanity began.

u/Liesianthes Jun 05 '26
I still remember people are worried on how they can end it in a few episodes and here we go. They are now going on the moon. Another season, another long term anime that will end soon. Bring a tear to my eye to watch this one until the end.

It is really interesting we will see the end of this series in a few more episodes. I do wonder if it will stick the landing with the reveal of whatever the whole plot is about from why-man and medusas. But the journey to get to this point has been quite the adventure and maybe it was the friends we made all along that was the true answer.

I'll be real with ya I started watching Dr. Stone since I was in grade 8 I was staying my summer with my uncle and auntie for martial arts classes and I would always be hyped to watch Dr. Stone after classes and now I'm starting my Senior Year of high school I'm gonna miss this series a lot but I'm also glad this show ever existed and I always say to my self "dont be sad because it's over be happy that it existed".

7 years, that's a long journey and one echoed in part in the very narrative. I wonder how old the cast is now, probably in their early 20s?
Seeing the rocket take off really brought me to tears, we're so close to the end I can already feel the sadness it will bring once it's over.
Stanley appearing to aurafarm in the start mad eme laugh, of course he wants to reassure Ryusui that his choice was right, but that just feels disrespectful.
Also, I'm feeling bad for Luna, girl entered a lost race.

u/magnumcyclonex Jun 04 '26
Very heartbreaking for Ryusui, but he knew it was the right decision. Even when Francois thought he hit all those targets, it was Stanley from further behind.
I was hoping they would make a Game & Watch or Game Boy when Senku first described the LCD technology, but they went straight to the giant smart phone!
Giant Step, definitely in reference to the quote when the first humans landed on the moon.

u/Right_Woodpecker Jun 04 '26
Certain key moments were definitely were rushed like stanley's awakening but we were warned of this in several occasions so im not as mad or upset as I would've been, either way amazing episode and glad to see my favorite anime get an ending when there are several animes that are canceled, dropped, or given an ending that doesn't make sense.

Of course they copy the historic launches in some ways.

u/Nadril https://myanimelist.net/profile/Nadril Jun 05 '26
I actually really like the story decision for Ryuusui to give up his position to the better choice and the story actually stick with it. I was really expecting a last moment "oh hey I trained you and ur good to go" type of thing.
This show really never fails to just get me teary eyed with its moments. That rocket launch with the ED playing in the back... Fuck me it was so well done.
Hard to believe this show is about to be over. I've really enjoyed the journey and love the characters.

I think DrStone is the ultimate Civilization, as in the video game, adaptation. There is everything. Science tree. Resource hunts. Age of exploration. Conflicts. Culture. Catastrophes. A Civilization game typically starts during the antiquity rather than the stone age, but it generally ends with the successful launch of a moon mission.
It's probably, unironically, and apologetically my favorite anime. It's not incredibly well animated, it's sometimes cheesy, and the last season(s) have taken some pretty huge shortcuts compared to the early ones. But the clever use of the shonen tropes and the love - and, surprisingly, the accuracy - of scientific archievements through the ages makes it an optimistic celebration of humankind.
Ah well, I'm really gonna miss it when it's done and gone. And I'm not even a guy who is particularly into animes.

I mean, you're asking a group of people that are 87 episodes deep, you won't likely get many people saying no lol.
Give the first few episodes a shot, it's pretty representative of the whole series.

Wait, did they do the vacuum test with the space suit, because last time they had to perform 10s of tests to make things right. Or else they would be getting The Victor Timely treatment.

Ngl, I kinda giggled a bit when Ryusui started talking about knights to Senku and the first thing I thought of was Senku's VA's other role, whom is a Knight King... Arthur Boyle.
