| Guys we’re serious, so let’s try our best to remain serious. No more sexy slo-mo shots or stuff.. or nevermind. Anyway, we knew it’d be kind of a one way slaughter, given the kind of weapons and stuff Stanley’s crew carries. But yeah, at the same time Senku's crew can’t let themselves be slaughtered too. Appreciate what Suika and Francois did, but for people who are so genetically coded for wars, it was only ever a countdown until Senku’s team got cornered.. and it happened. Also hey, I agree with Hyoga there for a bit lol. That guy does have some extreme ways but the fact that they let Xeno hang around like an awkward roommate instead of locking him up was just begging for disaster. You’re not outsmarting actual military elites, very honestly. So yeah, tragedy was written into the script from the start. Think about Tsukasa... dude died for the SECOND time now. Man really, after all that build-up, this episode delivered and if I’m not wrong, we're lookng at the best of the Dr stone yet in the next episode. If they adapt that particular scene as a cliffhanger, that’s not just going to be the best of this season or a past season or something.. it’ll be the best of the series. |

This frame was absolutely crucial for the plot |

 sybau 😭🥀🥀 as if we haven't encountered several plot armor tropes for 4 seasons |
| What do you mean the episode just ended like that? I wasn't expecting this episode to just drop us this bomb, after so many episodes that, honestly, there wasn't much tension, and then in this episode they go "hmm, what if we kill Tsukasa, Hyouga and Kohaku? - Great idea!" After all this time, the ending really was a death flag for all 3. I remember when I and many people here on the forums were like "What's up with the ending? Are these 3 going to die?" but I wasn't expecting the anime to actually pull that through. I'm shocked. It's episodes like this that make me enjoy Dr. Stone quite a lot, and it brings me back to episode 2 of the 2nd part of Season 3. Now, I'm sure Senku and the others will find a way to revive them, but I wonder how. The truth is Senku will only be able to do something after the battle against Stanley. That is going to take at least some days. As Tsukasa mentioned, the petrification process has some healing properties, but the cells need to be conserved. The moment someone dies, their cells start to decay too. Not only that, but they are in a really moist and hot area, which greatly increses the putrification process. I'm really not sure how they are going to save these 3... I also found it curious they decided to show Tsukasa's POV for the final scene, since you would expect to see Kohaku's, right? The truth is they didn't really show her dead, like Hyouga and Tsukasa, but I doubt it was because she isn't really dead (it's not like the anime is going to kill off Hyouga and Tsukasa, right?), and it's more to reflect a bit on what happened in Season 2 and the relationship between Senku and Tsukasa, that was honestly forgotten ever since the 2nd season, so I'm glad they gave them this little moment. Curious in how after showing Kohaku being shot down, they cut to Gen collecting the speakers, I wonder why they decided on that. Suika and François giving away their location to save one of the Stanley's soldiers shows the true values of this group, and I'm sure that's going to pay off in the future. Maybe she'll have to do something about preserving the bodies of these 3. The whole battle sequence felt really tense, but the thing is that this ending comes as unexpected, because after Tsukasa defeats Maya quite easily, you end up thinking that "Oh, they actually have a chance", and then they show Tsukasa being shot down, and you remember they actually have guns... That scene actually gave me chills. I must say this episode really is one of the best episodes of Dr. Stone so far as a series, it was really well executed. The problem with Dr. Stone is that after these impactful scenes they usually don't deliver (remembering how after Senku ends up alone in season 3 Part 2, while the others were turned into stone, they just skipped that and were, oh well, here's Kohaku again, no big deal), so I'm curious to see how they will deal with this one, especially if they can't save any of these 3. I was never more excited for the next episode of Dr. Stone. I'm expecting a darker episode than usual, considering how this time around there's really no garantee that any of those 3 will be able to survive (unlike in Season 3, where they only had to get to Ginro and Kohaku and use the reviving liquid). Hearing the ending theme now hits harder... |
| For once I wasn’t expecting the show to go for the realistic outcome in this fight. Probably should have given the sniper scene, but other than that they’ve been fighting guns all season with only superficial injuries. I have a feeling they’ll get better with Medusa’s help though. |

Why didn't they show Kohaku after supposedly getting shot?
Ahohite-killer said: Why didn't they show Kohaku after supposedly getting shot? Maybe they are throwing that "oh, Kohaku isn't really dead and was able to survive" (which seems big plot armor at this point), or maybe it was just because it would be too shocking to see Kohaku lifeless, since she's such a big character for the anime. They really didn't show Hyouga's corpse too. And honestly, that last scene with Tsukasa lifeless was kinda hard to watch. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
The manga panel was just as crazy |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| was not expecting feels to happen today... |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| What an abrupt shift—from a shot of Charlotte’s butt to the heartbreaking deaths of Tsukasa, Hyoga, and Kohaku. It was truly sad, but also one of the most realistic moments in the anime. It would’ve felt wrong if they had managed to destroy the enemy’s radio and escape unharmed against armed soldiers. Now, with their deaths, the ending makes so much more sense—and hits way harder. I’m excited to see what happens next. How Senkuu and the others will react to the news, and how they’ll bring them back. At the very least, I hope Stanley gets hit with the same bullets the three of them took. And maybe… just maybe… they’ll revive him too. Maybe. |

| Francois and Suika's plan was solid. But of course things would never be this easy. It is unfortunate that the team that was supposed to save the whole squad ended up causing such a huge problem. At least Francois is good at negotiating. Lol. I almost forgot Ginro was a village guard too. I wish he'd stop being such a wimp and man up already. Now the ED with Kohaku, Tsukasa & Hyoga makes way more sense. I liked that the 3 became a team and immediately they're all dead. Well this is Dr. STONE so I don't expect them to really die. Still the ending of this episode was shocking. Tsukasa vs Maya was fun. He really kicked that girl's shit in. But even such a strong guy like him can't win against guns. Wonder what plan Senku will use now that he lost so many people and Stanley's coming very fast. |
| So this is why the ED was focused on these three? Man... T_T |
 |
| this is hands down THE best episode of Dr. Stone so far |
and they still thought he as secretary evil until a cople episode ago SMH |
Damn... it's always hard to see characters you've been watching for long time go like that... |
how can you able to screenshot it? do you do piracy? |
| Honestly, I should've seen it coming, but how the episode starts as normal and transitions into such a brutal ending still caught me by surprise and left me feeling really sad. =( Given the situation they were in, both Suika and Francois did what they needed to do, including Suika's brave move to help out Charlotte on the enemy side after she got struck by poison. I do applaud Suika's decision here, even in a tough situation like this one. Seeing Kohaku, Hyoga and Tsukasa fight together as a team was awesome, especially when it came to Tsukasa's solo fight against Maya. The way he stayed calm and collected before blocking her swings and countering with such a heavy hit to knock her out was epic, but then the switch was flicked and the whole battle turned upside down for all three of them being gunned down one by one. Kohaku was thankfully able to destroy the communication device that Stanley's comrade had, but he was also the one to shoot down Kohaku. Kohaku's tear-stained face when facing the barrels of Stanley's gun left me with goosebumps down my spine. Now the ED animation with the trio makes A LOT more sense now. All of their hope is now in Senku's hands. I do pray that he can find a miracle with the medusa device that can save the trio. |
| Damn, wasn’t expecting that kind of end honestly. My guess is Tsukasa and Kohaku will somehow survive until the petrification device is back in action but it seems like game over for Hyogo. It’s sad that he has to go out like this but massive props to him for allowing Kohaku to go and give them the higher ground. Things are getting intense now… |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| One of the best dr stone eps oh my days, that ending really struck a chord with me. The elation I felt seeing Kohaku finally be able to trust Hyoga and Tsukasa fully with her life, for the first time she was able to fully let her guard down and trust other fighters to have her back… just for them to get opened up like a damn bag of chips at the end 😭 Luckily, if there’s ANYONE that can cheat death, it’s Senku. I also got chills seeing Tsukasa fully trust Senku with his life. Even if it looks bleak, having the greatest scientist on the planet on their side means it’s never truly over. Need next episode ASAP |

They literally had one job to do — and they failed. I don’t get why the Americans are even trying to kill the Japanese, but what I really don’t get is why Suika and Francesca just stopped!? Their task was clear.
This is just dragging on now. Every episode it’s the Japanese acting stupid and the Americans sneakily pulling shady moves for no reason. Why is there even a conflict to begin with? Nothing has made sense since season 2

Why the Americans are trying to kill the Japanese :
Senku and Xeno are the most influential and valuable figures for their respective people.
Xeno wants to use Science for world domination, for which he needs more manpower. He wants to enslave Senku's people for that.
Killing Senku, the very pillar of their knowledge of Science, would inflict a loss they'd never recover from. People without access to modern scientific knowledge would be easy to capture and enslave.
So, at the very least, the Americans definitely want Senku dead. Even more so because he would never bend to Xeno's motives.
Currently, since Xeno is under captivity, the Americans are willing to kill anyone they need to, to rescue Xeno. Once that is done, they can easily dispose off Senku and return to enslaving the others.
| @_Shash_ Yeah, I don't see why it would be hard to understand, the "Americans", or rather more accurately, Xeno, has goals that clash with Senku. Naturally a conflict starts because of that, and they start fighting. On a basic level it's the same as what goes on in the world today, we even have recent real world examples, it's just like how Russia wanted Ukraine, and Ukraine wanted to stay free from Russia, so a conflict started over it a few years ago. Naturally war is not quite that simple, but on a basic level the clashing of interests starts the conflict. Another portion of it is "valuables", in Dr. Stone's case, both Senku and Xeno are the "valuable" with their knowledge of science. Xeno wants a monopoly on that so he can basically rule the world, and Senku doesn't really care about ruling or leadership, only science. Naturally Xeno wants Senku taken out of the picture, and while Senku doesn't really "desire" to get rid of Xeno, his primary goal is researching the Medusa and making it to the moon, which Xeno's conflict is currently interrupting. |
| I like to watch some anime, I like to talk about some anime, I dislike wars over some anime, but more than anything I love to live my life, anime is an enjoyable and entertaining addition onto my life but it's not my whole life. |
| A single woman needed to be able to uproot an entire tree by herself for the battle... why? Apparently tree branches can also block bullets now too... Really bizarre how dumb some of these decisions are getting. I have no idea how Senku's fighting trio got "surrounded" based on what was shown. Between that and Suika compromising themselves to save an enemy this battle and ending feels really forced. As if we needed to add more drama with some emotional character "death" scenes (I doubt Tsukasa or Kohaku die, although Hyoga seems possible given that he's the only morally grey character on team Senku.) Hopefully this conflict is done by the end of the season so we can focus on the rocket ship being built and the final confrontation with Whyman on the moon. |

| Suika's voice is so adorable nan-daiyoohh I love it 10/10 Shit got dark quick at the end tho. Hope kohaku isnt dead. Hyoga and tsukasa can bite it tho |

| Charlotte Bony's boobs and ass!! 😍 Kohaku's boobs and ass!! 😍 Maya's boobs!! 😍 |
| No... I wasn't expecting the show to actually deliver on people getting killed, when Tsukasa said that Hyouga was dead it hit like a truck, I kept expecting those 3 to get captured and maybe getting beaten half to death at worst but then miraculously getting healing with Medusa but with Hyouga genuinely dead I don't know at this point, Suika was too kind for this cruel world. |
