The violent carnival continues! Sometimes I’m a little worried about the author riichirōinagakimental health. Does he really feel the need to murder nearly every teenage scientist in the sprawling new rock era? Is this sentence more than three episodes? Earlier this week, it seemed that even the sweet little melon seed Suika could not escape Stanley’s murder obstacles, and the melon-headed helmet implanted in her camera flew into the air, accompanied by a burst of blood. “No, it’s not Suika!” I cried, ready to smash the TV with anger and despair.
Thankfully, this is nothing more than sutterfuge – obviously harmless, innocent Munchkin becomes the sole survivor of Xeno and Stanley’s attempted massacre, and one person on which the entire future of mankind depends. Of course, it’s not Luna or Pumpkin Girls – their attempts to throw the revival liquid into the air failed, as the green Medusa light ruthlessly spreads around the world, which puts everyone in trouble.
Suika accepts her fate and climbs up the nearby tower, where the only surviving revival liquid bottle will eventually be downgraded over time, causing her petrified body to pour in. Even though Senku was lying on the ground in front of him, Xeno knew he was lost. His fate is not the grand, single-crazy scientific fascist future he envisions, his fate lies in the actions of an innocent child, not the devout follower of Senku. Even Stanley, who realized that he could destroy humanity with bullets before the Medusa bundle hit, decided to object. He believes that even if he is kept as an eternal hostage, the Kingdom of Science will revive Xeno, and he is too valuable. In any case, he is willing to sacrifice his eternity for the man he loves.
We see friends in Japan and on the island and then back to Corn City, both turned into stones, and humanity is essentially extinct as the world returns to its original way. Years have passed, rural animals grow and age without supervision of their owners. Finally, the revived fluid flask eventually degrades enough (with some acoustic energy) to restore the fragile Suika to life. That way she can recover everyone now, right?
Sadly for Suika, it wasn’t easy. As a functionally blind child, she is alone in the world and seems to have no revival liquid. I was worried that she wouldn’t find the camera and she would eventually wander, never finding her way back to someone else. fortunately, Dr. Stone Not a story, this story is not a story, we see Suika’s montage as learning to survive on our own, harvesting edible fruits, building shelters and becoming friends with some monkeys, just like Senku himself did in the first episode.
This episode is an emotional roller coaster, sustaining Dr. StoneIt has been very consistent in hits over the past few weeks. I don’t think I’ve ever liked this show as much as I did since Senku and his friends arrived on Amazon. Nervous, cruel, heartbreaking and ruthless, Dr. Stone So far, those of us who have been sticking with it are really rewarding. I do worry about how long Suika has to survive on his own before he can revive others somehow. Will she grow into a tall blonde like Kohaku as the years pass? (Someone needs to ask an important question, maybe it’s me.) Or, will she become an older woman when she meets a friend again? Thankfully, in this world we only have one week to wait.
