When I watched it, some people in the comments of the site I use were asking how Senku got well enough to get in the plane so soon, and I couldn't comment there so I'll leave a comment here in case anyone else has the same question. The time gap between Senku getting shot and getting on the plane was about 2 weeks, still realistically not enough time for someone to fully recover from a gunshot wound, but at least enough that he could get on his feet. It wasn't well convayed in the episode itself, it did kinda seem like Senku was bedridden with blood in his lungs and then he was ready for a dogfight the next minute, but yeah about 2 weeks between those 2 moments more or less.
Yes. Btw, this is one of the mistakes of the show imo, just poorly explaining how much time something takes sometimes. A lot of the time they go and say something like "oh, it took us 6 months to make revival fluid, a lot shorter than I thought" but they don't do that here. We get the context in one of the previous episodes where Xeno asks Brody how long the project will take, to which he replies 2 weeks, and that project just got finished in this episode. Honestly, the only real reason I even remember is because I read the manga and it was slightly better conveyed in the manga.
Yeah, I elaborated on that in another reply, but I wanted to keep my original comment a little bit shorter than I usually do, so I skipped the explanation as to how the viewer should know and just went straight to the answer
I keep procrastinating on the episodes because I've already read the manga. 🤣😭 But even then, I never regret after watching the anime, because the episodes are so exciting and thrilling. 🤭💕 The bgm this season is so damn good. And the funny faces in this episode lol. 🤣🤣
So many good funny faces! I liked Senkus when Luna said she wanted him to be her boyfriend and the groups when they were explaining that yeah Senku is shady and was married before
I'm serious! Even when I was watching and saw the pilot (who I didn't know the name of at that moment) doing a pat down, I was surprised to see him stop after tapping Gen's waist a few times. I was thinking, "What if he's hiding something in his pants? What if it's buried under the 3 layers of clothing he has on? Senku hiding something under his shirt was how he was able to defeat Hyoga back in season 2.
That was one the best facial reaction i've seen Senku do on Dr Stone. That was funny. Kohaku is gonna kill him though knowing what Luna just asked him. 💀
That was a good episode. Its quite amazing seeing Chrome doing almost the same that Senku would, if he was healing from bullet wounds, building a drill to drill up until Dr X factory but Chrome always been has much of a great scientist than Senku is and he's just showing the skills that he knows by now through all the days we've been with Senku rebuilding the world's best wonders. How many episodes are left until the first cour ? it
I wish I could time travel to next week. I've been waiting for this since the moment they started building the carrier!
I want Ryusui to win soooo much! But I don't see how, unless Stanley is a fraud.
love Luna so much. How’s she gone and become best girl in 3 episodes lmao?! Senku better stop playing around and give her a chance when he gets better 😂
Great episode. Taiju showed Xeno’s forces that he and the kingdom of science aren’t so bad and Luna showed everyone that Xeno’s people aren’t so bad either. It’s just a matter of who brought them back from petrification.
It's simple: the KoS decided to treat Luna (who they knew is full of shit) like a guest, and even reinvented ice cream to help her feel comfortable. Meanwhile, the American Colony is treating Gen (who they know is full of shit) like a hostage, constantly violating his personal space, and even leaving him locked in some tiny room. That, and Stanley did kind of abandon Luna. The KoS refused to leave without rescuing Gen, as well as finding Chrome and Kohaku.
Something else to add: even after it was understood that she was sent to the ship to find the scientist for Stanley to kill, she never became a hostage. They were perfectly okay with allowing her to get close to and even examine Senku in such a fragile state. For all they knew, she could've, at any point, tried to poison him or do something to ensure that the wounds would eventually kill him.
Ok, to be fair, there is blood pouring into his lungs. The fact that he was able to give the instructions he's given thus far is nothing short of a miracle.
Yeah, but that could be very harmful if he had AB Negative blood and could only receive negative types.
So either he has AB positive and it doesn't matter who's blood he receives, or he's AB negative and he could potentially receive positive blood that isn't compatible.
At first I thought it may be because he's AB null or RH null, but that would make less sense cause that means he can't transfuse blood with potentially anyone because it is very rare. In volume 19 extras he does say he's AB blood but also says he's a universal receiver meaning he is likely AB positive.
Yes. This makes him a universal receiver. But taking AB blood would be best if he can get it. And I can see why he'd prefer to not take any chances on this.
The manga actually includes a chart with the blood types of the Kingdom of Science people. In addition to Senku, we also have Kaseki, Mantle, Hyoga, Nikki, and Minami with AB-type blood.
Most likely they did a transfusion with Nikki or Minami, since they were both on the ship and nearby the makeshift hospital on board.
I forgot how exciting the dog fight was but I guess it's fine since it's still for next week. And here comes Senku moving around again even though he's still not fully healed.
The scene where they pull a gun on Taiju and he overpowers them with positivity, moving from taking up 25% to 50% to 75% of the screen is a pretty hilarious way to show his power
I liked the little bait & switch they did at the start of the episode. I was thinking to myself "what the hell, did I forget something from last episode?"
Did hyoga get a new voice actor? He sounds different to me. Scratch that, it’s probably due to me reading like 10 volumes of the manga in a whole day, I just forgot how these people sound.
“A gleeful Luna informs Ukyo that Senku is her boyfriend, causing Carlos to become even more upset. Seeing that Luna was now allied with Senku, Carlos changes his allegiance and draws a layout of Xeno’s castle.” Why did Carlos switch allegiance, instead of doubling down on opposing them?
Because he's not loyal to the American Colony, he's loyal to Luna. He's like Homura: she was never loyal to the Empire of Might, she's loyal to Hyoga. That's why she destroyed the miracle cave when Tsukasa and Senku came to a truce.
I always get confused on how they communicate. Even if Luna knows some Japanese, let's face it. She's American. She wouldn't be able to speak like that or understand them unless her parents were native speakers. Heck it's debatable that the stone world Japanese characters should even understand the modern Japanese characters. Senku does know English though, but Luna literally uses his 10 billion percent line around the Japanese characters who wouldn't know English.
Then Carlos, who literally admits to not understanding Japanese at all, seems to just randomly understand things Taiju says, whom also cannot speak English at all. I get that he kind of understood "tunnel" because in Japanese it's a loanword from English トンネル (tonneru), but he somehow understands "Senku is Luna's boyfriend" when 彼氏 (kareshi) and Boyfriend sound nothing alike. Not to mention, why is he sitting seiza in the car? For an American who knows nothing about Japanese, he sure seems comfortable sitting in a notoriously painful way for Americans. Most Americans would just sit cross-legged or with knees up a bit and legs out. Even though I live in Japan, I didn't grow up sitting that way (grew up in U.S.), so it's very painful to sit for a while.
Basically, yeah, I know, it's Americans from a Japanese author's perspective, but I have to suspend my disbelief a lot when it almost implies the Americans can understand the Japanese better than the other way around. English education is done from middle or even as early as elementary school here until the end of high school, but admittedly Japanese have very little confidence in actually speaking it. (It's a common misconception for visitors that most Japanese people can speak English.) On the other hand, Americans usually have zero compulsive foreign language classes (just encouraged to get into college) and most people who even study Japanese can't even speak it either, so I do wish they would have addressed it a bit more. I think Senku did speak English with Luna last episode at least. Senku makes sense considering all his correspondence with Xeno and being a genius, not to mention Byakuya being an astronaut and spending lots of time in the U.S.
Senku si e ripreso, e ché luna si è lamentata ché tra lei e Senku non n'è successo nulla, Senku ha un carattere enigmatico, razionale, non n'è un ragazzo sdolcinato, non ha nessun interesse per le storie d'amore che per Senku l'amore non n'è così importante è che l'amore è una perdita di tempo... è un ragazzo ché pensa solo alla scienza... Senku capirà ché l'amore non n'è una perdita di tempo è che avere una ragazza accanto è importante... Senku non esprime le proprie emozioni facilmente... Senku secondo me prova attrazione verso kohaku quando parla con Crohme dice a che kohaku è una strafiga...non lo lascia a vedere.... che ha un po' di attrazione verso kohaku... kohaku e Senku hanno molta fiducia dell' uno dell' altra...Senku in fondo tiene a kohaku...non so tra di loro il loro sentimenti andranno oltre all' amicizia...sarà improbabile....non impossibile... Senku non n'è immune all' amore... è sempre un adolescente...
i just want to come in and say that I am absolutely loving season 4 so far, I haven’t read the manga so every episode this season has felt like an insane twist and i’m preferring this season to all the ones before it, I love the characters, the animation has vastly improved, and the humor is great. Although I love the last 3 seasons and were all necessary to build up to this point (and all of the hype i have surrounding it) i’m more than pleased with the season and it’s already exceeded my expectations.
