Conclusion of Season 3 of Dr STONE
The conclusion of Dr. Stone’s third season saw the team’s concerted efforts to bring Tsukasa back to life. They placed the Medusa device on Tsukasa’s chest, petrifying his body. Once he was fully turned to stone, Senku wasted no time in using the revival fluid. Tsukasa regained consciousness and asked about the current situation. Senku explained their ambitious goal of reaching the moon, and Tsukasa immediately grasped the plan.
Upon their first encounter, Matsukaze introduces himself to Tsukasa and promptly challenges him to a duel. However, with just one swift strike, Tsukasa effortlessly defeats Matsukaze. After witnessing this display of strength, Gen proposes the idea that they all wear war paint as a symbol of their united fight against Why-Man. Despite his initial reluctance, Tsukasa eventually agrees to participate along with the others, promising not to remove the paint until they emerge victorious.
At the start of their journey, Francois worked on baking a large amount of bread. Meanwhile, Senku gave specific tasks to each group, instructing Yuzuriha and Kaseki to work on a roadmap for the spaceship. Although Senku had only asked for a basic outline, they went above and beyond by creating a detailed globe that pinpointed the location of resources on every continent.
Senku is aware that in order to boost production, he must embark on a journey across the world and revive multiple cities. To produce a sufficient amount of revival fluid for the entire world, he will need a considerable quantity of alcohol. As a result, their first destination on the map is the cornfields of America.
Despite Senku’s emphasis on the urgency of their departure to avoid winter, the Kingdom of Science sets sail once again after making the necessary preparations. Senku had warned that if they were to wait until winter arrived, the cornfields would be destroyed and their plans would be delayed for months.
