Dr. Stone: Stone Wars has begun, and while the first episode was a slow burn, it set up the promise of an epic battle of the minds between the Senku and Shishio.
Though the Kingdom of Science accomplished their goal of creating the cell phone, Senku reveals that they need another phone for it to work as intended.
As the Kingdom of Science enjoys the telescope, they inquire about how they are going to make cell phones from the rocks that Senku, Magma, and Chrome brought back. Senku explains how he plans to create it.
SinceSenku chose Magma as the third member of the exploration group, the other members of the Kingdom of Science are worried that Magma might try to attack Senku while they are down in the cave. However, Senku is only focused on the filaments. In Magma’s mind, he is thinking of attacking Senku because no one will be watching. Just as Magma is in thought, Asagiri Gen walks over to him and whispers instructions (it is inaudible for the viewer). says no one will be watching while they are in
In the previous episode of Dr. Stone, Chrome and Kaseki invented the water wheel which allowed Senku to develop their Hydroelectric Power Plant. This allowed the Kingdom of Science, whose main objective was to create cell phones, the ability to shift away from manpower labor to focus on crafting other needs.
In this episode, Senku is preparing to create phones while Shishio and Hyago are preparing their next attack on Ishigami Village. However, they realize that winter is coming. Shishio decides to shift focus to make sure his group survives the winter.
This week in Dr. Stone, the Kingdom of Science starts on a high note. Asagiri Gen betrayed Hyoga by sabotaging his spear and siding with Senku and the rest of the group on the village entry bridge. However, the group didn’t realize that Hyoga was a distraction.
In episode 17, Asagiri Gen told Senku that the Kingdom of Might was on their way. They didn’t waste any time, because moments after Senku received the news, Ginro and Kinro were attacked at the bridge. Kinro attempted to hold the Kingdom of Might soldiers off but due to his fuzzy sickness, he was unsuccessful. He gave Ginro instructions to alert the rest of the village and cut the bridge if things got bad.
We continue with the flashback of Byakuya and the other astronauts in space during the petrification. Byakuya explains to Lillian that he thinks the petrification started from South America and give credit to Senku for him being able to figure that out.
In the previous episode, the Kingdom of Science prevailed in winning the Grand Bout. As a result, even though he tried to lose to Chrome, Senku became the village chief of Ishigami. Ruri received the cure-all drug to get rid of her pneumonia.
Shortly after her recovery, Ruri admits that she knew his full name from the moment she met him because her mother told her a story about him. Ruri proceeds to tell the group that her mom told her stories and the 100th story out of 100 stories was titled Ishigami Senku.
In this episode of Dr. Stone, the group is coming down from Chrome’s victory. Asagiri walks back across the bridge after helping Chrome win his battle with Magma. He tells Senku that he will speak with him after the Kingdom of Science takes over the village.
We continue with the Grand Bout. Gifted with clear sight from Suika, Kinro beats down Magma and leaves him barely able to move. The Kingdom of Science begins to celebrate, but Magma convinces Kinro to ask the referee if the watermelon helmet is legal for the fight. While Kinro turns to the referee to ask, Magma sneaks up and cracks Kinro over the head smashing the helmet to pieces to open the episode.
In this episode of Dr. Stone, Chrome, Ginro, and Senku return to camp with the Sulfuric Acid. Kohaku gets excited because the assumes the antibiotic will be created instantly. However, Chrome quickly deflates her by telling her that there are still steps to take before the medicine is complete.
Ginro teases Kinro for not having a gold spear while rejoicing over his new silver spear. Senku appoints Ginro the group’s bodyguard while they go out to search for sulfur ingredients for the antibiotic.
“Buddies Back to Back”
The spear is also used for a sensor and turns black when the group needs to run away or they will die. Sulfer ingredients are dangerous.
Chrome, Kohaku, Senku, and Ginro make it to an area where they can gather materials for Rori’s medicine. They want to collect green water. But the hydrogen sulfide will kill them is Ginro doesn’t pay attention.
Ginro sees a mirage of a beautiful girl in the water and almost gets killed because he doesn’t notice the sulfuric acid turning the spear black. Kohaku thinks she can outrun the acid, but Senku assures her that her speed won’t be enough to outrun the poison.
The decide to great gas masks, but Senku makes Chrome stay behind in case the masks don’t work. Chrome is the only other person in the Kingdom of Science that knows how to create Rori’s cure and will pass down the knowledge. Chrome refuses because Senku is his friend. After some back and forth, Chrome and Senku agree to have each other back while gathering the materials.
Meanwhile, Kohaku is approached by her father to take the place of her sister as the town priestess. She refuses and vows to save Rori using the medicine Senku and Chrome are planning to create. She is assured that Chrome loves her sister and thus will save her life.
Senku and Chrome prepare to go back to the green lack again. Ginro is afraid so Senku takes his spear and they leave.
Kaseki, our resident craftsman, is still around. He gives some knowledge to Ginro about being able to work through his fear versus giving up and letting his fear consume him using willpower. Kaseki made another mask to give Ginro a change to help Chrome and Senku.
Back with Chrome and Senku, Chrome slips and falls off the cliff headed straight into the green lake of sulfuric acid. Ginro arrives just in time to save his life.
After a moment of heroism, Ginro freezes with fear after seeing his spear turn black. But Senku and Chrome help him calm down and gain control over his fear. And they obtain Sulfuric acid!
