Best Jump chapter of the week. Yuzuriha getting more focus, Gen and Senku getting all the monies, the humor, everything was perfect. Reinventing nonessential things brought the series up another level.
I'm kinda surprised they didn't have the ability to make cloth or looms before. It's hard to tell with this art. But I didn't think everyone was wearing leather…
Yeah, I'm confused too. I thought the village already made cloth.
I'm starting to think Dr. Stone is well ahead of everything else (sans One Piece) in Jump by a mile.
Agreed. This is the kind of series that'll blow up if they get the anime right.

Goddamn, this manga is beautiful.
-
Some nice feels at the end of this chapter.
-
Gen showing his skills. Not a fan of so many characters not featured (especially after that village roll call when Senku first arrived there), but the characters we do focus on are so good. Talent takes priority over everything in Dr. Stone. If you don't have skills, you don't get the spotlight.
-
First PV for the anime!
-
What an arrogant voice. Perfect. As long as he can do funny too. Wouldn't mind some filler here and there to flesh out other characters or slow down some of the more breakneck chapters.
-
Did Senku always had that green colour in his hair?

Did Senku always had that green colour in his hair?
I definitely recall him having it on early character spreads and even a figure that CCC painted had it.
-
Erm, actually the tips are just a little black in my sculpts…
Boichi experimented with different colors for a while but seemed to settle on green at some point.
-
Hope the anime can convert the great art style of the series.

Fucking Birds…

I recently started rereading Dr. Stone from the beginning and got a laugh out of this:
!
-
Cute. But, that does bring up the question of whether they should strive putting everything back exactly the way it was. No one but Tsukasa really talked about it. I honestly think they won't go into details about society morals and the negative effects of modern civilization. Mostly because the series is about restarting the world, not what to do after its fixed or improving it. We'll probably get an everyone's grateful to be alive and happy feelings will make our new world better type of ending.
-
Thing is Senku is a scientist, with Gen any particulary bad apple who tries to manipulate him will be filtered, but without Gen another Tsukasa but for "no revival of anyone, because the planet is fine now!" could arise.
He needs laws, and ways to organize people, total awakening of the world is too far away.
Besides, way too many of our issues as a society steem from entrenched way of thinking product of "that is how it has always been", while the people would keep that mindset once awakened, the fact that they have nothing to enforce it, not thinking money or weapons, but clothes, food and a roof over their head, a somewhat better world is attaniable, specially one fresh that can grow back slowly to it's previous state of wellfare.
Awakening everyone without a way to feed them would be insane and irresponsible. Also, a lot of people has to have died as result of their statues crumbling or being crushed, or washed away, or destroyed by Mt Fuji erupting, no way to know how many as of now, but not all 6 billion people survived.
-
Damn it. This manga is so beautiful. I am very grateful to shonen jump for publishing this piece of art. It's an incredible way to get young'uns interested in science and studying. The art is incredible and the story of constantly striving for the next goal in a sort of videogame fashion is a good structure to explore different concepts. It's also pretty nice that it's recently started to delve into other subjects, like basic economics. I hope by the end we can explore a bit more the themes of morality and philosophy in general, as you guys are discussing now. That would be pretty neat.
-
So, I decided to get caught up with this series, and I enjoyed it very much! Reminds me of a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court, which was one of my favorite books growing up, but hopeful with a much less downer ending. The fact that actual science (for the most part) is used to circumvent typical shonen tropes is a breath of fresh air, and I can totally see this series being a favorite of mine as it continues.

…huh. How have I not made that connection yet?
-
! They are gonna bring back Soma will they?
-
"It's like eating a rock. The way it grinds against my teeth is so much fun!"
This chapter was great, especially the last two pages.
-
I'm gonna expect some Yakitate!! Japan level reactions when they eat the food cooked by the chef. Well, one can only dream.
-
Unless tsukasa happened to receive a cheff I think they are out of luck.
But then again, Niki is bound to have a talent. Or it turns out that the loser cop is also the 2th place of master cheff Japan. Or a new character.
-
Well Senku specifically said they need to awaken one, so it would seem as though they're going to somehow or other come up with enough revival formula to awaken at least one person.
-
They used up the revival fluid to escape the dragon cloud, there might be more on the ground or the lab, but the whole issue with the cave getting destroyed is that the rarest ingredient is that, very very rare.
I'd wait and see, and if they have some liquid, a real doctor would be more useful than a top cheff.
-
Yeah, you'd think a real doctor would be one of their highest priorities.
-
@Maes:

They are following the One Piece route here.

I'm voting for Nikki too. She was hovering in the background all chapter. And, like everyone else, she has to have that special something that makes her useful.
-
Huh, so the reporter had some stashed away. How convenient.

@Maes:

well considering she was the one in charge of looking for people to revive, it's not too absurd that she had some with her at any given time..even though it seem like she save it without anyone else knowing
-
Yeah, it's definitely not an asspull. Just convenient.
Anyway, I do like this new character. They're definitely a worthy addition.
-
Week by week, this has got to be the most satisfying manga in Jump. I can't remember a bad chapter or an uneventful one.
-
Senku is making everybody cry lately, lol.
-
Easily the most consistently good series in Jump right now. That spread with Kaseki and the camera stuff was great. I hope the anime can do it justice. The art goes a long way in making Dr. Stone work. If they can't replicate that the anime won't work as well.

Hmmm… dunno, would say Promised Neverland is more consistent. I really like Stone because it always gives an input to spent quite a time on wiki and helps to get the insight to how little you know, but for consistency... just the order of inventions is random as hell...
Last chapter: I didn't like the Einstein panal before Senkus... just omit it and you have more laughter.

! ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ
-
They've stepped in it now!
-
I actually got startled lol.
-
What an ending!!!!!
-
Dr. Stone definitely needed some more tension from somewhere and this is exactly it!
-
What a cliffhanger. I'm sure there are more people in the world (some other person got broke free by chance like Senku) but to have that level to technology? Hm.
-
I'm still expecting there to be an "Institute" of sorts somewhere.
-
You know, I think Dr. Stone's gotten to where I can't keep up with the science. Still, a good chapter, especially with it reminding me why Ukyo was considered one of the smartest people. At first, I thought they were grading on a curve.
-
The age of exploration arc/saga has a pace that's too fast for the authors to explain things properly. 1 chapter for textiles, 1 chapter for monetary theory, 1 chapter for wind/flight mechanics, 1 chapter for agriculture, etc. That also might be intentional, since it's delving into more and more complex stuff, so they resort to hand waving. I also think that the motivation of saving Tsukasa messed with the order of developing technologies that would have been needed anyway. They could have a breather arc where they try to recover old civilization standards with clothing, agriculture and eventually fuel, transportation and money.
-
Ryusui is an okay character, but I feel like he's hogging the spotlight from other characters.

I was kinda thinking that too. The author must really like him lol.
-
He's portraying the good sides of greed, as the driving factor of progress (along with sloth), but while sloth refines greed innovates.
Sure, only as long as it doesn't trample anybody, or is destroying something.
Considering that we are about to face someone with enough beef with human progress to turn them to stone "forever", in order to restore earth, it is needed to stablish these characters to contrast the "whyman".
I think that the idea of the small boat should have floated for at least another chapter before getting solved.
-
He reminds me of Kaiba but without the card games or the dragon fetish.
-
Nice way of doing a time skip. Smart move teaching the kids science at school. I was wondering who was going on the trip before I saw that big ass ship. I guess everyone who ever mattered is going. Not sure about Suika tho. Wait a minute. Shouldn't someone who knows science stay in case something breaks in Science Kingdom? Chrome, maybe?
-
Meh, the village has survived for who 3k years without modern science, and now they are protected against starvation and disease, could handle any revived one except for those two in jail (social darwinist and the gymnast), or the WHYMAN who would probably beat anyone, including senku, if they decided to attack.
