【Dr.STONE】石の世界にネット爆誕！月メンバーまさかのコハク、ラストにスタンリー復活フラグで海外騒然【第3クール9話】

So they really baited us in that episode in which they showed us a petrified Senku, Tsukasa and Ryuusui, huh I thought it was a not-so-subtle foreshadowing of the team that would go to space, but it was just a bait

That legitimately caught me by surprise as well. The series has heavily implied that it would be those three going to the moon ever since Tsukasa was revived at the end of season 3. So to have Kohaku going in Tsukasa's place is quite unexpected. Though thankfully, the writing here is tight enough that it's a solid justification for the change (favoring agility over strength). In some respects I probably shouldn't have been surprised, though. While Tsukasa is a critical part of the story, he has never been a part of the series' core character ensemble; he's second tier at best. So the three crew members being the MC and two tier 1 characters makes a lot of sense from a writing perspective.

Not just agility but also the weight thing. Cutting down as much weight as possible would also improve the launch success rate.

Hmmm I get what Ryusui is thinking and honestly quite surprising the man who 'wants it all' is considering giving up his seat to go to bloody space.

I interpret it as Ryuusui wanting to challenge Stanley so he can prove himself (mostly to himself). Not that he wants Stanley to take his place just like that.

Making the Internet from Eucommia tea is exactly the kind of wacky scheme I expect from Senku lol. Did not know those leaves have such strong filament inside. Is Ryusui really gonna revive Stanley to take his place? I don't trust that dude up there with Kohaku and Senku. They've got the anti-Medusa watch and gun for Why-Man, but what are they gonna do against Stanley if he goes rogue?

Didn't expect that end! Forgot about Stanley completely

At this point I highly doubt Stanley goes rogue given how much Xeno has been cooperating with them. It's in everyone's best interest to stop Why-man.

I wasn't sure at first what Senku meant when he said he wanted to start by making tea, but it looks like my guess last week about them laying undersea cables was correct! I can't believe we now have Zoom calls in the Stone World! I love how Ginro is just happy they don't have to send Morse codes anymore. xD The scene between Tsukasa and Kohaku was pretty damn cool. We haven't really seen the two of them interact much, so I'm glad that scene happened. I would've loved for Tsukasa to go with Senku but it does make sense for Kohaku to go. Not gonna lie tho, I was worried about Ryuusui the entire time, especially when they kept hammering it on us that he's the best pilot that they have. I thought something bad was gonna happen to him and that they'll have to scramble to find someone else. It turns out, Ryuusui just remembers that there's someone out there who's better than him when it comes to flying and shooting.

Senku's biggest sin wasn't inventing firearms but inventing zoom calls

I guess inventing color TV was too much for now, but at least many more scientists are cooperating.

Color TV really isn't hard to make once you have TV, it's just way more costly in every way for no real benefit given what they're doing.

The most unrealistic part is that all countries are cooperating with them lol

It's easier to cooperate when facing a massive insane threat that could wipe them all out at any point Also, isolationism doesn't work great when you're in the Stone Age and don't have a lot of ways to gather key resources

Indeed, I think it's fairy apt to say that science is the great unifier of humanity. Albeit maybe a little on the nose in this show.

Yeah, like, it isn't the existing leadership of each country that got revived, it was people necessary for the mission. I don't even think it would be correct to think of the world in terms of the countries that existed in the past at this stage. Right now it's still very small fractions in each location.

Man, I hate how Tsukasa got sidelined ever since the 2nd season. My man was introduced as one man army, but haven't had much chance to show that.

haven't had much chance to show that they already nerfed him last season. He's an honorary Baki character that did not live up to his potential and for all the talk about science makes people equal, we don't really see much science with Kohaku

imagine how us taiju fans feel

Hopefully this show lands the ending, since this whole season so far could have been an email. Like Xeno arc was amazing, but you can see that most character journeys are over, but author needed some bridge between going to space. Whole season was, they come somewhere, revive, everyone is happy, francois creates local cousine, everyone eats, senku says something smart, Gen says "nobody knows what that is", then Ryusui comes and says "UH HA I WANT THAT" and they get it 30 sec later.

It's a 13 episode season so we still have 4 episodes to cover 12 chapters. That's 3 per episode

Honestly super curious how everything will be wrapped up in like 3-4 episodes? I feel like the flight is almost there but probably not happening in the next episode yet.

i mean at the pace its been going, all they have left to do is actually go to the moon and confront why-man. 4 episodes left is plenty for that, that basically is the length of a movie. As Senku said this episode, their final project before going to the moon was creating the internet to assemble the rocket. I would expect them to actually launch and land on the moon next episode
