There's not much potential inter-human conflict potential to spice things up. First was VS Tsukasa and company, then was VS Ibara and company, then it was VS Zeno and company. One of the newly de-petrified nations could turn against the Kingdom of Science for a conflict. That could've happened if they de-petrified the wrong person. But then the Kingdom of Science could just Medusa them. The only conflict remaining is the VS Why Man.

Lol, I'm just saying that your speakinfbwayyy to generally. Let's not forget that America is somehow still Allies with Japan and even after the horrendous joke Trump let out during his meeting with their prime minister. But still, let's stop digressing into the political state of the world. One of the best things of anime is escaping from whatever situation you are in to enjoy a good story that is hopefully animated well (and many anime this season have been)

Stanley was ultimately following Xeno's orders, not acting alone. The one who would pull the trigger on Stanley going turncoat would be Xeno, and we've already established he has nothing to gain while the threat of Why-Man still looms. Even then, a lot of the world is up and running again, which would make domination a non-starter for the same reason he didn't bother trying back in the 21st century. Xeno only shot his shot in 5741 because it was literally just his and Senku's camps at first, and Xeno had military superiority by far. He's outnumbered now and he knows it.

He would most certainly not have taken bullets without an issue. From the very beginning, Tsukasa saw firearms as his biggest threat. These may be anime characters who are amped up compared to the real world a lot of the time, but whenever they go up against something scientific they're always treated as regular humans. Hell, Tsukasa's entire motivation at first was to keep guns out of the Stone World, so that corrupt but feeble older generations wouldn't be able to use force against the fitter youth.

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. 😆 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. I'm not sure how I feel about bringing Stanley back. He's probably not gonna do anything bad since Xeno is now on board with Senku's plan, but you never know with this guy.

Didn't they only keep Stanley petrified to 'control' Xeno into cooperating? And I think they have revived way too many people at this point for Xeno's original plan to work. He wanted to use science to to have power over people but due to the rocket project, so many people are revived, including other scientists, that already have access to same technology he does. As Tsukasa said this episode, "Science brings equality to all" -- I don't think it is a coincidence that phrase is said in the same episode that we find out they're considering reviving Stanley

I figured why Ryuusui's expression changed, but seeing the man who wants everything actually consider giving the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity up for the sake of the mission is admirable. I like how he and Tsukasa are both thinking about what's best for them all.  I do wonder how Stanley will react, considering he was really out for Senku's blood. I don't think we'll have to worry about Xeno betraying them even with Stanley around with how things have developed, but Senku and Stanley potentially working together is quite the development.  I do like how Senku is following in his father's footsteps. It's amusing how he laughed at him struggling to swim when he looks even worse off now lol.

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.

Ehhh... ease is debatable, depending on what they're working with. Even knowing the techniques that were used in the 21st century, lord knows how precise those stone world CRTs are. You'd need a shadow mask or ideally an aperture grille and a way to deposit RGB phosphors precisely onto the screen surface. I wonder if the colored subpixels would be too large to blend into a coherent image at the tech level they're at. Thing about a grayscale CRT is that even with the most basic tech, you aren't working with distinct pixels—at least not horizontally. Just vertically-stacked scanlines which are smooth analog beams across the width of the screen. But I agree, it's not really a mission-critical thing for the time being. Just a creature comfort for later.

Colour TV didn't have to be as complicated as it ultimately was. The problem was backward compatibility. You needed a new signal that could carry colour information without obsoleting existing B&W TVs. The way it was done was to stuff all that colour information for each horizontal line into the time it took for the B&W beam to move from the end back to the beginning to draw the next line. While that line was being drawn, the colour information would be mixed and spread out to match the existing B&W line. This required a very neat piece of tech called a serial analog delay , which could store the colour information for a short time then emit it again in the same order it was stored. There are simpler ways to do colour TV, especially if you're not limited by backwards-compatible B&W.

Precisely, the naive approach would have been basically 3 seperate RF channels for each colour (a bit like component video) but that would use a ton of RF channel bandwidth so they utilised some of the unused and ignored areas of the existing signal. Mono sets just ignored the colour burst signal and the mono sets only used the level of the signal to create the picture, the 3.57 phase mod info maybe caused a slight dot pattern in highly coloured areas if the response was good enough and not filtered, newer mono sets had a trap to roll off the 3.57 to reduce the dots (if you used a multi burst test signal on those sets, bars above 3.57 would appear blurred but still show defined lines on sets without the filter)

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.

Yeah this part tired me as well, but the way I see it: Earlier seasons Senku actually had to prove that Science has value. Tsukasa valued strength and youth, Ishigami village saw Science as Magic and therefore evil, and Tsukasa's army was happy just being muscleheads who ate (and, let's be honest, slept around) all day with nothing else to do. Till this guy comes around and shows what can be done. Season 3 they go to a new island and have a cunning fight to overcome, Season 4 is the last hurdle really because it was another revived group capable of Science, but American so of course they want the world to bow before them. The science had already started diminishing at that point, they casually came up with tires on a boat with a bit of rubber and had transforming bikes. The show's premise very clearly shifted from "okay see this is all the science steps it took for us to get close to modern level of science" and now has switched to "well there's this big bad in the sky". The way I rationalize it is that the science they are showing us now is more commonplace and they're just showing us the rudimentary versions of what it took to get there without having to show us the gruelling processes because we already saw how much effort actually goes into all this. Showing the same stuff over and over would also get repetitive. The same way that earlier roadmaps would skip over stuff they had already unlocked, currently we have already unlocked the knowledge of "well stuff takes time" so they're just skipping the time part and explaining the fundamental knowledge required which would lead to the conclusion of the thing appearing, without them just being like "well clearly Senku is a mega genius so of course he makes all this happen", they give us the bare minimum of information that would be necessary to fill in the blanks while their manufacturing capabilities and availability of manpower have already been showcased. Also, yeah the unificiation is a bit absurd, but also there is a bit of a savior element that the people have to recognize, as in "this kid revived us and has done all of this, not really a good idea to rebel against him when he is the key to going back to the kind of life we are used to. Plus there's this guy on the moon who can petrify us again so, priorities"

The science had already started diminishing at that point, they casually came up with tires on a boat with a bit of rubber and had transforming bikes. For some reason, it really was literally those tires last season that were the point where I just realized “oh, they are just hand waving science and manufacturing now”. Like basically from that point on, as long as they have a thing, they can make infinite amounts of that thing of whatever increasing complexity they want without much effort. But like the thing that struck me in that moment was just the valves for the tires. They had very realistic looking pressure valves like you’d see on a bike and I was just thinking about the level of precision machining those little threaded pieces of metal take to make and how there’s no way they had the manufacturing capacity on hand to make them.

Not only that, the tires they were making are meant to resist the pressure of them and the metal bikes they are on and they were easily forming it mid transport. That's just. Way too unrealistic. And the primitive ass treads surviving all the terrains they drove over. And then this season when they just. Resuscitated all the rusted metal and made an even larger ship despite not having any metallurgy available to them. Became a turn off your brain to the science and enjoy the camaraderie and story and shenanigans anime for me

The first thing they do with the internet is have a zoom meeting lol I like how the major complaint until this point was that we didn't get to see them reviving other engineers and working with them, but this episode immediately clears that up by showing us those people. And now I think literally every "main cast" character is back in Japan. 4 episodes left, I'm guessing that 3 of those will resolve everything with why-man and the 4th will be an epilogue? Can't imagine this show ever having a sad ending, it got those sad vibes out of the way last season with everyone "dying" and Suika being alone for 7 years.

Random observation: It's occurred to me that there's not been a ton of animated perviness (i.e. fan service) in this last cour. In the first season you'd have ridiculously suggestive shots such as Ruri taking her medicine, and even the previous cour there was an imagine spot just to justify Kohaku in a bikini. Ginro leering at the girls is as close as this cour has gotten in that regard. I'm not sure if that's a source material thing or what. But it's been unusually tame.

The pace has been pretty brisk this season but I'm also slightly worried mainly because I don't think it will be smooth sailing to the moon either. I haven't read the source material, but my guess for the 4 remaining episodes would be: next week is the Stanley Ryusui bit and preparation for lift-off then rocket launch and cliffhanger with why-man or any other rocket issues moon action return to earth + epilogue Seems tight and I'm curious how it'll go. At least it looks like they have everything sorted out science-wise for now.

Oh wow, so we're going full on underwater cables around the world for that internet. Kind of amazing for that to happen in what was effectively a montage. That Taiju and Yuzuriha reunion was nice to see. I'm glad that Kohaku was one of the selected astronauts, not only do I love her as a character it's nice to have some Ishigami Village representation on the mission considering how important they have been for the overall effort. Waking up Stanley to be the pilot makes sense. His support for Xeno's meglomatic fantasies was the original problem with the two of them, and those fantasies are pretty solidly out the window now that the revival and moon trip projects have gone so global.

Yeah, me too. One could also see it as passing the torch to the next generation of scientists and Chrome is also much more physically capable compared to Senku. But at the same time I think Senku following Byakuya's footsteps would be more in line with the series so far. I think everyone expects the payoff of Senku going. And in case something goes wrong after all, Chrome could take over on earth instead.

It's not surprising that Ryusui would second doubt that he is the best option as a candidate for the moon mission. Beneath his greedy and extravagant exterior, it is evident that he genuinely cares about his comrades. Sure, he claims to "want it all" and that "desire is noble", but we have always seen him applying his "greed" from ideas and actions that ultimately benefit everyone that is on his side. To be honest, I was expecting Stanley to have already been revived a lot sooner in the story, considering how Xeno is already on board with Senku's plans (at least until the mystery of Why Man has been solved and eradicated as a threat to humanity). When they were selecting the fighter of the team, I really thought that Stanley would be in the running, but it does make more sense for him to be the pilot above all else with the aerial dogfight back in S4. The revival watch is a great idea and I would extend that mechanism to as many parts of the space suit if possible, but I am not so sure on the explosive nets. How would that fare on the Moon, where gravity is a lot weaker than on Earth? The team would be wrecked if Why Man has equipped other forms of weaponry besides the Medusa.

Feels like I'm just watching an overly stretched ending of a series on this season. There's no more tension, no more plot twists, just make this and that, everyone is amazed like in forever, world peace is happening lmao, and that's even counting why man who isn't doing a thing and just watching them waiting for them to attack be done it all. Last season was the peak when we see Suika grow up, her hardship, grit to surpass things. Stone Kingdom best warriors are dying left and right, etc. I miss those twists, tensions, and other things that will make you look forward waiting for the next week. Currently, just watching this season for the sake of ending the series but it become so bland to me. Tsukasa being sidelined didn't make it better at all. He's been on the benchwarmer for a long time. He deserve the spot, especially on his believe on how the world should go forward and discovering more about Science that could shape him as his greatest character improvement but nope, let's choose Kohaku who's been there since forever because why not, she's an obvious choice. lol
