Dr.STONE SCIENCE FUTURE

It's a shame they aren't taking their time with the revived people because not everyone would be so quick to get on board and do as a bunch of Japanese strangers asked, not to mention that they're bound to wake up a criminal at some point. Many modern people would quickly get depressed upon seeing civilization is gone and many of them can't see their loved ones yet with no guarantee their statues are intact. Leaving that aside, it's a shame Chrome and Ruri haven't progressed, but I imagine this is also because Ruri might have been raised with the idea that men are the ones doing the courtship, otherwise Ruri could've confessed already to force Chrome to face his feelings.

So they stayed in Indonesia to plant and harvest rice? That means they stayed there for at least 3 to 6 months, based on how long it takes for rice to grow. Also, this just made me realize they never tried to look for wild rice in Japan. I guess it's just easier to find it in Indonesia because of the climate. As much as I love seeing Ruri and Kohaku reuniting, I am genuinely shocked we didn't get to see them react to Suika looking a lot older. Maybe they just didn't recognize her, and we'll get that scene next episode? The reveal that Chalk and Sagara built a stone wall around everyone actually got me. Then the goodbye scene made me genuinely tear up. I do love that after the dramatic goodbye, they still returned for food. 😆

It’s great to see everyone, but man Chalk and Sagara are the real heroes for saving everyone with the little rock wall. It’s a bit bittersweet to see them go but they’ve got lives of their own to live now. Bye bye little dudes o7. Until the next time Francois cooks up a feast lol. I’m really looking forward to this space mission. They’re getting closer and closer to confronting that bastard Why-Man face to face.

Is the title of the next episode “Unkown Knowns” a reference to the Rumsfeld Matrix? Not a thing I would have ever expected to pop up in an anime. Anyway, I’ve been thinking about petrification and the reason why they are in such a hurry to build the rocket. I know that they are worried about another mass-petrification event, but I feel like where they are at now, they could reasonably protect against such a risk. They should just have a few of their cities around the world set up more robust versions of that tower they built in South America that depetrified Suika. If you build a few of those, you could set them up with a mechanism where it will auto-dump the fluid in like a week if it hadn’t been touched. Then just have a rotating job where someone in the city is always required to be sitting under it, maybe in like 1 hour shifts. Stick each tower with plenty of bottles of the depetrifying fluid for the whole city, and another petrification event would only be a hiccup that causes like a month-long disruption. Yes, Suika’s tower malfunctioned and took years to wake her up, then she took years to wake everyone else up. But that was only because they were in the middle of a big fight when it happened. That wouldn’t be the case in a new petrification event from the Moon.

So it took 3 years to build 5 cities. That’s about 7 months at each location to get everything set up. Which matches up to the fact that rice takes about 6 months to grow so that’s how they were in Indonesia long enough to get that first rice harvest. Poor Ruri, Chrome is the only one that hasn’t clued into their relationship yet. At this point, yes, just let Chelsea, the blunt, see if she can make Chrome realize what is going on. Senku’s “good job on hanging on for 10 years” is giving me such Odyssey vibes. Chalk was there since Senku got to Ishigami village, so he was at least 2 possibly 3 years old when they left. And Sagara was likely at minimum 1-2 years old. Wild boar’s lifespan are just 10-14 years and dogs also in that same range.
