Great chapter indeed, funny with science, jokes and a cheerful character that it's really cheerful.

I'm liking Chrome so far, I hope he doesn't turn into Taiju-light in the future
-
This series is so much more fun when Senku is front and centre. The other 2 are kind of lame.
-
Well duh, they barely had any real character development.
-
"well Taiju didn't work out, better introduce science Taiju"
that's all I'm really gettin' out of this chapter -
It would seem characters with no antics or characters that are too serious aren't as entertaining. Better get used to it.
-
The worst part was they never really got One Piece's Ending.

Oda is still encased in stone.
Best chapter of Dr stone so far. Chrome is the best.
-
I definitely like this assistant mage/science bro much better than that first guy.
-
Senkuu just owned Eduardo Elrico, it found PS at chapter 19.
Nice chapter, but it could be thousand of billions times better with Chrome crying for Trump instead of mankind' success.
-
I simply hate how this manga is trying so hard to be scientific when the premises are completely over the top unrealistic fantasy. It makes it void of any meaning for me.
-
What bothered you this time?
-
I dunno, I'm a scientist and that's the part of the story that's engaging to me. I don't see anything noticeably off, and it seems like the author did their homework. The explanation on how the petrification worked was sci-fi, but they never insisted on any of the details, so it didn't bother me. On the other hand, it's pretty fun to explore the idea of how quickly you could go from zero to modern technology if all you had were raw materials and knowhow.
-
Samesies. Scientist here, and this is probably my most favorite new manga.
-
I'm the farthest thing from a scientist, and I dig the science of this manga. And the focus being solely on Senku now. Should've been like that from the start.
-
Senku can carry the plot, but he needs colorful idiots, and rival genious to really shine.
I feel bad but I like Chrome and Kohaku better than the other two.
-
I don't mind idiot characters. Just not when they're generic shonen protagonist cut-outs.
-

Logical, Chrome has a learning disposition and Kohaku is not simply a damsel in distress.
The idiot couple was draggin the story down.
-
I'm curious what the actual word they're using is, since "panacea" seems a lot more likely than always using "cure-all." But I suppose, given that it's an actual concept and not just science names, that using cure-all might be more accessible to the general audience.
-
And yet those guys are currently in a mission of infiltration, all by themselves. You might look forward to that.
Senku is a genius and can handle things on his own, but what can a man who's all brawn and no brain and a supposedly frail woman do? I sure I'm intrigued, how they pull that off, with success and without the mad scientist's help. Perhaps they are not all that a burden, since Senku himself entrusted them the most difficult out of the two side quests.
-
I'm actually scared about the focus going back to Taiju and Yuzuriha because of how bland they were. Especially since I think Tsukasa is bland too and the only cool things he has going for him are his design and motivation.
-
You're exaggerating, man.
And I'm afraid I'm never going to get these weird character definitions.
-
How am I exaggerating when there are already a bunch of comments in this thread about how bland the couple is and how the new cast is already preferable? I don't hate them or think they're bad, they're just generic. Which is boring.
-
I hope that the break for them will either give them chance to develop them better, or somewhat alter the plan so when the threads join we only get a quick flashback for their side.
-
honestly, I like the science but I can see senkuu's schtick running a little thin if it goes on too long
i'm already a little tired of seeing the phrase "ten billion percent"if the author can balance both sides and give Taiju and Yuzu some more development and nuance, then I think the series will be a bit better off
-
Honestly, I've always been a little confused regarding the complaints that the characters have gotten so far. I don't think that any of them are really superfluous, and none of them have rubbed me the wrong way, yet.
-
I like the series, but it could really use more comedy. Eyeshield 21 was hilarious.
-
What bothered you this time?
Just the initial setup makes no sense. from then on, whatever science they put through, I can get no satisfaction.
-
So you didn't like "the humanity suddenly got turned into stone"?
-
So you didn't like "the humanity suddenly got turned into stone"?
What I didn't like is :"living beings were kept alive inside of stones for literally thousands of years without any energetic source and just pour a bit of citric acid on the stone et voilà, the living being is back on track."
I can live with this setup, but you can't convince me that from now on, the scientific analysis is going to be thorough. And as this manga is all about "look at how much i can talk about science", it feels empty to me. But anyway, it's just for the point of discussing, I won't tell you that it's wrong to like it. I just feel that the hype is a little too much. But better that than Bleach, I guess.
-
Did you miss the chapter where that point was made? That in world it also doesn't make sense?
-
That's an extreme viewpoint. Most science fiction requires some leap of the imagination to create a scenario to which logic is then applied, like robots existing, or faster than light space travel being invented, or lots of alien species being around, at similar levels of development and all in communication with each other. Like look at Isaac Asimov's "The Last Question," which is a short story following humanity throughout their entire history as they continue to ask computers if entropy can be reversed. Society advances to the space age, through the colonization of galaxies across the universe and even to a point where all minds are linked together, and computing networks are connected across galaxies, but the computers keep returning "THERE IS AS YET INSUFFICIENT DATA FOR A MEANINGFUL ANSWER." It's a good short story and worth a read, because it is an fun little reflection on the limits to which computational technology can advance, and a guess at what's after the end. Of course none of that has to be true, or even logical for it to be a scientifically interesting story.
I don't see how 'humanity was turned to stone for thousands of years, allowing nature to reclaim the earth, and now a few people awaken' is a less valid sci fi premise than something like that.
-
Also, The Last Question and The Last Answer are really great short stories.
-
All indications point to Senku eventually figuring out the stoning issue and it having a very grounded in-world explanation. There's bound to still be a single suspension of sci-fi disbelief in the end, but the analysis he's already done (stone itself provided the 2 million joules of energy for his brain to keep functioning + cells in stasis (think tardigrades) + nitric acid was just the final push once his own shell was weakened by energy drain) gives me confidence that the eureka moment will be thought-out and satisfying. The petrification issue does seem a little…distinct? from the more mundane, real-world science presented in every chapter (which mostly amounts to a season of Survivor with really really smart people), but I'm hoping the author's greatest trick will be bringing it all together in the end. Maybe even using concepts already addressed for the survival stuff. A payoff like that would be great :)
-
Oh, a chapter of impressions, liked the plenty focuses of sciences… but lacked coordination and was too fast to change paces.
Regular to bad, and i would not be so cocky to anticipate how a sci-fi series could end.
-
What I'm enjoying right now the most is the potential the series has I don't personally feel like it's the science to get excited about but the fun rpg like collectathon of Senku to assemble all the necessary pieces to build his kingdom(and there's much to gather and make progress on). Once that gets going we can go into morality politics, clashing beliefs between tribes, maybe even Yuzu and Taiju sympathizing more and more with Tsukasas ideals creating a rift for personal drama. And of course there is just a ton of possible immediate near future shenanigans by having Senku clash against this tribe until he gains their full approval.

The fact that the "science" protagonist is aware that what happened appears to be scientifically impossible, at least from the understanding of physics we know, is a point that should be more than enough to counter your argument. It's part of the mystery, and more importantly the question itself is addressed.

What's this, Octoroks in a science Stone Age manga?
-
Was that a Fist of the North Star reference?
-
This series has gotten more rpg than ever and it's fucking great
-
Yeah, the direction it's going is a lot of fun. I wasn't sure where the manga was going before, and I'm not sure about how it's going to continue after the showdawn with Tsukasa, but for now, the whole thing about finding new reasons and requirements for advancing science and then fulfilling those requirements is a nice and engaging formula.
-

This is exactly what I thought about the latest chapter. Like these people are basically just NPCs, and Senku is figuring out which fetch quests he needs to perform in order to talk to more important ones, which will let him advance the main storyline.
Be kind to Suika->Recruit Suika->Figure out villagers' needs->Recruit labor->Make Iron->Create panacea->gain permission to cross bridge->talk to Ruri->learn something about central plot mystery -
I don't know what happens, but this is so bad edited. Second chapter with the same problem, things must flow smoothly D:
Fun indeed, but too rushed, hope its got more popularity to increase the length of the manga to avoid this pace.
-
Rushed? Senkuu didn't even got into the village yet.
-
…And didn't even succeed in creating the first ingredient out of like, 20, on the Stone Roadmap. Looks like iron alone will require several chapters of solving people's problems, unless we get a fast-forward montage.
-
Nah, I'd guess the recruiting of manpower will be taken slow, with the search and sintesis of materials taking the montage, with a few rarer ones around.

Shokugeki no Soma: Stone Age Edition.
And was that a Steven Universe reference, or just a coincidence?
