Top 5 ongoing Jump series

I see Stanley more of an excuse for the team to keep in speedrunning mode. They have established a city in the US, they have Xeno hostage and he's kind of fond of Senku anyway. Plus the Kingdom of science is past the point where a single dude with strenght + weapons can take over the world so I can't really feel like he's too threatening.
-
That is the offputing part, if they stood their ground in the perseus instead of speedrunning it feels like they could have handled stanly back there, the time limit feels self imposed. Granted, they were already captured at that point, but it didn't feel as dire, and convinced the doctor/engineer to an aliance prety quickly.
Maybe Senku and Xeno know something about the why man that they aren't letting on to the audience/the rest of the people and that is why they are going fast.
-
They saved Ace lol.

! Gen keeping up with Xeno's attempts is a great meme. Looks like he got one in the end anyway.
! 1 of my fav things to do with this manga is check out the real life versions and yup, they are shaped like that!
-
Latest chapter is out. 3 man wrecking crew!
-
I have no idea where this is going. Another few millennia timeskip? Except this time there are no more astronauts in space and having someone coincidentally near a nitric acid source with just the right concentration would be too big of a stretch. Did Chrome manage to create a revival device after all?
-
Even without the revival device, Senku knows the direction and speed of the wave, so he could pull off the same trick he did back on treasure island, he only needs to figure out the timing, wich would be hard with people shooting at him.
The other posibility is the device running out of juice in a very conveninent moment, but I doubt the series will pull this off.
The thing that bothers me to no end about this second global petrification wave is that if there is a third awakened like Senku or Xeno, either they randomly discovered how to shield against the medusa without a medusa of themselves (I believe the medusa can't travel through vacuum, that is the reason why the astronauts were safe), or they just got screwed, again.
Unless they are super paranoid and sleep with a foot in revival fluid just in case.

yeah the hinted revival device will most likely be the thing that saves the day..anyone remembers how fast the medusa ray travels? depending on how fast (or slow) it is they might have time to concoct something while the ray travels the distance between the two points
-
Or, they made suika's gourd anti petrification.
-
I have no idea what's even happening anymore tbh.
-
Everybody dies, but whyman petrifies the whole world through radio and they benefit from it. Still not clear how powerful one single medusa can be.

Thanks for the feedback mate. How did the Senku's voice part fit in all of this petrification thing?
-
At the end of the last arc, Whyman started speaking with Senku's voice instead of doing morse code. They believe Whyman copied it from radio messages. Also instead of repeating why, he now says the diameter of the Earth and "one second".
-
Ah right, now that you explain it I remember the switch to Senkus voice. Thank you very much. To tell the truth I find the current arc so uninteresting that it appears I'm actively forgetting stuff I was actually paying more atrention to previously.
-
Stanley is a boring antagonist and this whole cat and mouse chase around South America has been the dullest arc so far to me. I hope that however the current situation will be resolved, they take out Stanley as a constant hunter
-
I still don’t entirely get it. If Suika receives the very last bottle, how will she ever revive the others? Did Senku teach them all how to make revival fluid and where to find the ingredients?
-
And if she doesn't revive quickly and find her gourd fast, she's going to be in trouble, as Chelsea and Kinro proved, the revival process doesn't cure eye degeneration.
She could have learned, senku might have written it down and thats her challenge, there is more around, there is enough in the device to save senku. The annoying posibility is that she revives fast-ish, but then is left for herself for a while in the amazon to timeskip her design, until she figures out the formula again or makes glassess.
Really making it hard for the eventual turn around of Stanley and Xeno, the way they shoot at suika.
-
Yeah, I thought she died. I really don't see how Xeno and Stanley can be redeemed. They're murdering people to take over the world.
Really interested what's gonna happened next.
-
Before the raid I was thinking that Senku would manage to find an amicable solution by giving Xeno control over alloy city and some perks, now? In true pacifist shonen fashion, Xeno and Stanley should get a close encounter with whyman or stay stone until justice can be served.
-

I'm with you here. Stanley isn't interesting, Xeno hasn't been allowed to shine, and the barrage of murder and violence is just not exciting in the slightest. I'm hoping the manga will be freshened up now that everyone will be stone again.
-
I don't understand what was the point of trying to establish that Stanley was a soldier with a moral compass only for him and his goons to go on a murder spree right after. Great morals shooting to kill against kids that look to incapacitate instead of murdering.
-
To show desperation and lack of strenght I guess. It is easy to be moral when you have the power and are in control, but then in desperation is when you show your true colors, a murderer, a madman, and in the case of senku, the person who will rebuild civilization.
-
Good point. Xeno will also be very hard to redeem. The guy really is a true narcissist. He looks to be fond of Senku but still tried to kill him twice already… Relationships are only good as long as it serves him otherwise he could care less.
-
I don't even remember what Xeno's group wanted. Was it really just total control? Stanley not having any dilemma over killing kids 18 and under is also a problem.
I kinda wish this arc went a bit slower too. They gave us a bunch of new characters, geography girl and watch guy. But it all felt too rushed.
-
Iirc they wanted to create a technocratic dictatorship or something in that direction
-
So basically. Tsukasa was right
-
Yeah, I think that was also acknowledged in the manga that Xeno is exactly the type of person Tsukasa wanted to prevent from reviving
-
"Tsukasa was right" takes no meaning when paired with his "death" when he puts his faith and fate to science.
Tsukasa and Xeno represent the same ideology, "my strenght is the one valid way to be strong, anyone else is cheating, be it by science or societal laws and norms", just that most of the people Tsukasa murdered got put back together (but not revived, yet)
-
I couldn't find anything about what Tsukasa thinks of Xeno but he's very open about his ambitions
!
-
Xeno is so cartoony evil despite the fact that he really shouldn't be tho
-
Xeno is like Brain in Pinky & the Brain except he is not a caricature and deconstruction but supposed to be an actual threat. He would not last long at the head of the dictatorship he dreams of having.
-
He can play dictator as long as he wants with Stanley and controlling personality, of his small nation of like 30? It wasn’t until Senku came along that the posibility of more subjects and proxy rulers could be made, he didn’t focus on revival fluid because he was too worried about Stone Age machine guns.
-
This is such a good manga. Come for the science, stay for the shonen craftmanship
-
While I do believe suika can survive in the amazon with half her glasses for a while (if she remembers how to use the ant trap/poison thing, and that works against mosquitoes, and malaria and other tropical diseases went extinct by lack of humans) I don't think she has the full know how to make the revival fluid.
I hope Luna/Chelsea just wasted one bottle.
-
I'm guessing that's where it's going, Suika starts collecting all statues and checks if anyone has revival fluid bottles on them. There's no way she would ever be able to create it or find a source for nitric acid all by herself.
-
I just friggin love that we can get an entire chapter dedicated to just…this. Dr Stone in general is good at Making A Singular Chapter Satisfying
-
I am wary of her moving the statues, the Amarillis flashback showed that the statues do get heavier (somehow) than the person, and that is what threw her off her boat, but Suika could maybe drag in like Kohaku, Luna or Gen, the lighter ones, as people, not as statues. Fixing statues on top of revival, not a good idea for the first few. Maybe after she gets Tsukasa free..
I forgot we have canon weights of them now.
-
Thinking back on if, someone having the revival fluid was all they needed. Just like Suika was revived by chance, having the bottle near a statue would mean it would leak eventually. The downside is that having to wait for a bottle on the floor to break or leak could take much longer, long enough for Chalk and Sagara to die.
-
This was easily the best chapter in a good while
-
Bottle degradation or just gravity luck is too much of a risk, specially in a flood prone area like the Amazon, like suppose they are taken away by the river, they fall and they break with the bottle and revive to lose an arm or to die, it is not something they could trust.
-
Official is out: https://www.viz.com/shonenjump/dr-stone-chapter-195/chapter/22440?action=read
I'm thinking Suika is going to be a teenager by the time she figures it all out.
-
The sad part is that that dog would probably be dead at the time.
-
I feel bad for Suika, hoping she manages to undo it soon. That said, it would be interesting if it takes her a longer time, I am putting my bets into a granny Suika (as cruel as it sounds)
-
Old lady Suika would be interesting. But I'd worry about her mental health if this was a different series. Being totally alone for that long would drive most people nuts.
-
See Five from The Umbrella Academy, pretty dang similar. I think Suika will manage to revive Senku by early adulthood at the latest, more likely within a couple of years into her teenage phase.
I hope Inagaki will focus solely on her for a little while longer, a single child with bad eyesight should take a long time to undo the second apocalypse so he should definitely let it simmer. Also Suika deserves the spotlight because she's precious.
-
I'm going with/rooting for a teenage or adult Suika as well. Would be pretty neat to have Senku woken up by an older Suika wearing glasses. I'm really hoping we stick with Dr. Suika going solo for a good while at least, it's a decent change of pace after all. And of course it would make room for her to do the glasses side quest, so to speak ;)
-
Dr. Stone is still a feel-good shounen manga, I don't see them going the "It took many decades for Suika to revive everybody and she was alone all the time" route.
Even Teenage Suika seems like a cruel strech.It took Senku a few months, maybe a year, in the beggining of the series to revive the rest of the people because he had to build and craft every little thing alone.
This time he wrote all the instructions on paper, there are plenty of already crafted items, and he knew he was leaving it all to a small child, with eye sight problems.
We'll be follwing Suika's adventures for a few weeks, real world time and in-universe time, or if there's a timeskip I'd bet it's at most a year. -
I hope for a year tops, because they wouldn’t show the dog alive and well if they weren’t ever going to reunite, but the idea of 40+ y/o Suika seems intriguing
-

Yeah, gotta hope that Suika will reunite with the dog. I'd rather it be soon, but my gut says she'll at least be 13 before any revival takes place.
