      Most likely there is one of the 100 miths where a Shokugeki stand in happens and they explain how to properly test new foodstufs for poison danger.

        That's entirely possible.

            This little adventure has made Chrom my favourite character by far

              Glad to see Chrome isn't some Senku wanna-be. He's really come into his own. Don't know what they'll use the tank for now.

                  this development sounds a bit too incredible to be honest

                      This is such a completely nonsensical and stupid way to fix everything, and I totally love it.

                      I find it weird how Taiju and Yuzuriha feel like better characters when they're not on the main cast.

                          Just started and caught up. God this was such a good read. I'm planning on catching up to most things running in WSJ right now, and I have a hard time imagining myself liking anything more than this. It's just overflowing with creativity, and crazy reaction faces. It's also really refreshing to read a shonen manga where the main character is absolutely my favorite character.

                          As for this chapter specifically, I'm really looking forward to seeing how they win Ukyo to their side.

                            btw, in tandem with my original prediction for Yuzuriha, under Shonen Rules, Tsukasa Redemption Arc is now in play.

                              That's the whole plan, that once they have sugar and antibiotics they either hate senku and gin and exile them to change the region of the plot or forgive them

                                Props to Yuzuriha for being able to assemble so many Puzz 3D puzzles. Strange that Tsukasa's people never noticed the completed pieces while patrolling though.

                                  It's because she was "stoned" in the age of women empowerment.

                                  She can sew at lightspeed and got the enough intelligence to construct from debris, is a good actress 'cause everybody thinks she's dummy and such superwomen can only be paired with a superman like Ukyo, a direct descendant of ninjas.

                                  While reading thought that was kind of machist… but then i remembered that Japan is superior and then my mind rested from that.

                                  Nothing exists; even if something exists, nothing can be known about it. Even if something can be known about it,

                                  knowledge about it can't be communicated to others. Even if it can be communicated, it cannot be understood.

                                    It's crazy but I'm just glad Yuzuriha is playing an important role. I'm ready to suspend my disbelief for anything stone people related including the audience never learning what caused it in the first place.

                                      Caleb pointed out that Yuzuriha doing the Puzz 3D people edition was foreshadowed way back at the start of the series too. (Kinda like how Taiju eventually did get his smart phone)

                                            there was a sequence where he explained why it hadn't worked so far, but I thought the hints at her rebuilding everyone were strong enough that it was just hinting that it didn't currently work

                                            Have no idea how long this manga is going to go on and where it goes from here, but could easily see a post-Tsukasa arc centered on them trying to find a better restoration formula

                                              Now I'm wondering how many cracks these people will have on their skin once they're revived.

                                              "Danger is my middle name."

                                                  Since you're the resident expert, has there been any sense if this is a manga with a definite contained story-arc, a la Promised Neverland, or is this a "general sense but wing that mother" type? Fine with either, since I'm mainly in it for the fun characters.

                                                  Mainly curious because he's been moving through the Village/Tsukasa storyline at a pretty fair clip.

                                                    Probably the latter.
                                                    I say that not based on plot-based contextual clues (besides the very grand goals, which could admittedly be accomplished quickly with some massive timeskips), but more because the series is doing really well, numbers-wise, and because it seems clear that Inagaki + Boichi + Kurare are just having a blast with it. And we have to imagine the anime announcement is just around the corner, which always boosts sales further, giving more incentive to keep it going. It would take an author with a very specific vision to say "nah I'm still ending it in exactly X books, on my terms" at that point. Which seems to be the case for TPN.

                                                    From the start, people have been forecasting that it would end when Tsukasa got beaten, but that always felt a little myopic. The way things are going, Tsukasa might turn out to be the Vegeta of this series (villain-> reluctant ally whose worst crime is only attempted stone murder since Yuzuriha saved them all anyway; only current timeline deaths were Hyoga's goons, killed by Hyoga), with more big bads along the way, the final of which will be the intelligent being(s) behind the petrification. In the meantime, there's pretty much unlimited potential with the "have problem -> need invention -> gather resources -> create" formula, which I ain't complaining about. They will need to expand geographically, though, which is exciting to think about 🙂

                                                      The thing is that Dr. Stone has used very well the forward momentum that each situation has used, from get our bearings -> kill the lion -> get tsukasa to not kill people -> escape tsukasa -> save ruri -> dismantele tsukasa's tribe -> ?

                                                      The set up is to exile Gen and Senku, to reset their lab in another place, and get back to lower stakes.

                                                        I tended to think Tsukasa was the first major stepping stone rather than the primary antagonist, so yeah, I think CCC is right (and my assumptions have been for a while that he could be redeemed as long as my additional theory that Yuzuriha was saving everyone was correct).

                                                        And as for larger plan, I'm personally hoping for the sandbox theory, where there's a sense but no real constraints on the plot. Some of these series–and yes, TPN is among them--get really cramped when they're trying to get from A->B->C

                                                          I'm still waiting for someone to climb a big tower to identify all the nearby points of interest.

                                                          Pure speculation, but I'd guess we'll see 2-3 more big bads, each embodying a different kind of philosophy. I'd expect us to see an evil science user at some point, but a Planet of the Apes style villain would be awesome as well.

                                                          If you get dunked on in the dream, you get dunked on in real life

Unlike Tsukasa, that guy, Hyouga, always striked me as deceitful and the type that gives no damn to the lives of his comrades so long as he can fullfill his own personal goals.

                                                                                                  And… right through the heart. Just when he had reunited with his litle sister... Worse than just that, Hyouga has also dealt a major blow to the Science Kingdom.

                                                                                                      I don't know how many bat-caves batman left in japan.
