| Senku getting into a heated rivalry while on their mission is the most Senku thing ever. But hey, at least they got their device and that's a major step. Having a casino poker game already in the first episode made this all that much more entertaining imo. Kohaku also looked fabulous in that yellow dress. Dr Stone is BACK. |
 |
| Only a year break and we're back to finally conclude the Dr. Stone saga, and for some odd reason, even though we are FOUR seasons in.. we're getting a recap on names and people.... Not complaining but the fact this show that's four seasons in and only had a year break actually is nice enough to give a recap, and shows that are gone for years have the audacity to come back with no recap at all like the last episode aired the week before or something xD But yeah, basically straight back into it, straight up just right where we left off on the boat and it's time to get those gamble brains on! Bet people saw the title and were like and thought Senku and Ryusui were actually gonna fight lols. But yeah, we starting off with interviews and we get to see the big brain moves to show what the gang’s up to. Got some unexpected bromance with Ryusui and Tsukasa vibing out lmao. But that Senku vs. Ryusui drama is the ACTUAL battle coming. Love how they’re spicing things up while heading to North America. The interviews were a fun touch too. But to see Ryusui and Senku going full Super Saiyan was absolute gold. And Gen not siding with Senku for once was quite the plot twist lmao. Gen’s sneaky mentalist hands vs. Kohaku’s eagle eyes catching every tiny thing was peak comedy as well. Also, lacquer poisoning making a comeback? Genius. Kohaku’s scary beginner’s luck is next-level. Dr. Stone just does whatever it wants, one moment it’s Food Wars, the next it’s Kakegurui. Tbh, they probably should’ve done majority rule instead of poker, considering, you know, people’s lives are on the line. But this is Dr. Stone lmao. In terms of OPs, probably the best song up with the first... but in terms of visuals.. idk, probably the worst one ngl. But yeah, good premiere. |

| Great to have this series back. I mean it being the final season and all, it goes without saying they’d not try to recap things and such lol. Though they tried, but yeah when you have close to 90 chapters left, and three cours to go with, they can’t afford to waste much time, can they? Not implying it was rushed or anything tho. Anyway, the journey which kind of just started with a motive of living through the day has transcended into something where they’re now planning to land on the moon. And yeah, this entire season being their journey to America and what happens there would be when we’ll see a LOT of revelations dropping every next episode. A bit lighthearted episode to start tho. Liked the entire casino segment with Tsukasa and Senku facing it off, just because they couldn’t stand each other's ideas of making it to America within n number of days lol. Really though, the kind of task they’ve in front of them, doing fun here and there won’t harm anyone. Things would get going in the next or couple of more episodes, so yeah, a laid back start, but I liked it. Looking forward. Nice OP btw. |

| Mangaka Riichiro Inagaki's juggernaut series Dr. Stone is back for the 1st of 3 split cours of its final arc, and here we go to the Science Future! The first order of business being the dissonance between Ryusui and Senku deciding how to go to America on the big ship, and Senku and the gang's first instance of the US...has to be casino gambling of all things between the two, along with Gen and Kohaku to fill the boards. No matter the skills of the players themselves, Senku will always find a way to win by hook or by crook, and everyone onboard is not left behind in the casino fun as well as the days countdown to reaching land. ALI's OP is fire, and BREIMEN's ED is passable. The countdown to reaching America and the end stages of the manga, the final seasons will decide the hype for the anime. |

Ah, season 4, my mind is ready to receive more knowledge and the first episode delivered some knowledge indeed. My god! Kohaku looks so sexy in this dress. |
| Yeah, Mr. Stone. Yeah, SCIENCE! I didn't really like this opening compared to the previous ones, but anyway my thursdays will be less boring  |
 |
| back with a funny ep it was fun |
| otakuweek (100k Followers) on insta for News /best recom etc just have a look, you won't regret it... Link below: https://www.instagram.com/otakuweek?igsh=em5kY3Q4NTVtNXlh |
| And we're so back! Dr. Stone is one of those long franchises that in my opinion continues to deliver season in and season out, and, by the looks of this episode, that will just continue. Firstly, that Op. ALI's presence in the industry is clearly on the rise and for the longest time, I didn't think his music would be a good match for the series, but boy, colour me surprised! I was bopping my head quite a bit to that and that shot of the characters dancing around was spot-on. Gambling in this world - about time, no? Literally anything goes but this one, I feel like it's been coming. You've someone like Gen who's going to try and bring out the best bluffs, Kohaku-chan (with that stunning dress btw!) with those super senses and Senkuu with the nrains, which makes such an easy one. Commentary was great too. All in all, the energy from the episode brought me right back. I do need a little jog though, so I'm going to hop on to some YT vids to get on board a little easier. |

| Our waifu looking gorgeous as always, Senku winning at everything LOL. Using science to cheat hahaha! |

| A short interview and recap from Minami to boot the season. Cute reaction from Kirisame. What an intense but amusing poker game that was. I mean with the people involved obviously. "There's five aces now but it doesn't matter" sums it up perfectly too lol. Kohaku looked great in her onepiece but a different color from her hair would suit her better. Both OP/ED were forgettable. |
 |
| OP's funkyy, I liked that. S4 let's go!! |

| Like every season, we fans de-petrify ourselves. There may not be many of us, and half of us may be in jail for trying to make nitroglycerin, but it's always great to watch this anime. It's wonderful to see the science group back, and while the fate of the world is in their hands, there's always some conflict, often resolved in the most unexpected ways, like a poker game with more cheating than I've ever seen. But seeing Kohaku in that dress was the best. In my opinion, the OP and ED are some of the best of this season. It's a good solid start to this new season. |
 |
| Starting off this season with gambling. peak |
| senku always win and kohaku is still sexy hot also kirisame x kinro romantic ship? |
| PEAK IS BACK LETS GOOO. Been waiting on this American arc for so long. Can’t wait to see some of my fave moments animated. Been so long since I read that this’ll feel new for me too lol. That opening is such a departure from what we’ve seen in this series thus far. Feels more Kaguya Sama than Dr Stone, I like how it’s got this whole casino royale theme going on though. Song could grow on me, but the visuals are excellent. That aside, great first episode back. Felt like we picked up right where we left off narratively and chemistry wise with the cast. All the banter and over the top antics from Gen, Senku, Kohaku, etc., just makes you feel right at home with these characters. Thursdays are going to be great. A high stakes poker match to determine the route to the states is such a Dr. Stone thing to do. Gen cheating ass using a fucking BEETLE and sugar to tell the cards in advance is wild. Vegas is gonna have to start checking people for bugs now lmao. Of course that ain’t enough to stop my goat Senku from winning though so great northern route it is. Yea it’s more challenging, but every day counts when it’s a race against the clock like this. Great start to the season, can’t wait for the next few eps!! ED song is also really different, but on first listen I like it way more than the OP and the visuals are so good!! Gen and Senku skipping to the beat’s so cute. |

| The OP absolutely SLAYS, the whole style, visuals, music, everything. The episode itself- eh. Max entertainment value to be sure, though I'm not sure Senkuu would've actually deemed this the best way to settle such a significant debate. Especially with letting Gen anywhere near the poker table, come on. The beer at the end was extremely random (not the first of its kind ofc), and while I get it from a certain point... from a certain other I question its necessity. Ah well. LET'S GO, SCIENCE! |
| IT’S BACK YESSSS!!! I’m so glad one of my favorite shonen anime’s 4th season is finally here, and let me tell you my heart jumped out of my chest when I saw we’re getting THREE split cours for this, man it’s such a good time to be a Dr. Stone fan. And to make things even better, Fire Force, which is another favorite shonen of mine, is coming back this year as well, takes me right back to the nostalgic season of Summer 2019, safe to say my hype is very high. And the OP and ED for this season are bangers, loved the visuals of both too, we got some interesting looking new characters coming, and the card visuals of the ED were especially cool, Dr. Stone still hasn’t missed with its OPs/EDs. And this was a pretty fun first episode to return to the series with, we’re en route to the great USA in the stone world but a clash of the minds occurred between Senku and Ryusui regarding the path they wanted to take, both were absolutely in the right but that made it even harder to pick an answer, well what’s a better way to settle it than poker with these goobers lol. Lots of good moments there, I’m not the most familiar with card tricks, but with the superhumans of Dr. Stone you knew it was gonna be wild, and it was indeed with Gen’s fuckery and Kohaku’s extreme speed, but in the end it was Senku who came out on top with his shortest and toughest route to America winning the debate, and along with it came the casino and a bar, so hopefully the crew will be able to handle the rough trip ahead now, I just hope they don’t gamble their lives away in the process lol. And I can’t end this post without mentioning Kohaku looking absolutely beautiful in that dress during the poker bit, I was not expecting to be blown away by her this early in the season lol, but I’ll absolutely take it, I’ll never then down some amazing Kohaku fanservice. |
| I see Kohaku fanservice still works. Otherwise. Meh. I am just glad to continue with crew as I watched season 3 just last month. You say america and nihonjin thinks about corn, jazz and weird people. |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Science is back baby! leave it to this series to make 20m feel like 5m, Kohaku looked gorgeous but most importantly MVP Suika is here. |
| Dr. STONE is finally back! I'm glad the final season will have 3 cours! I'd love it if they aired consecutively but that probably won't happen. This just means that this season will probably end in 2026 with the last cour if they take breaks after each cour... The OP was really cool. I like how stylish it is! Wasn't expecting the first episode would be about casinos but I still enjoyed it. Kohaku had no right to look that sexy in that outfit. Pretty modest start. Wonder if there will be more episodes on the sea and the crew will run into some unusual problems. That'd be fun to watch. |

| Inagaki Thursdays part 1. This season's OP by Ali is a perfect fit for the Perseus casino. Whether orchestrated by a mentalist or genuine, the discussion of the rhumb line vs. the great circle route between Ryusui and Senku is a key example of application vs. theory. The shorter route is ideal but it will mean making more adjustments. There is a deadline they have to meet, though. A poker game between the greedy Ryusui and magician Gen vs. the scientist Senku and eagle eyed Kohaku (looking hot); it's full of twists and turns. In the end, Chrome focusing on the cylinder record at the beginning foretold Senku's trick. |

| I liked the opening, wasn't expecting one like that, even Senku was dancing that gave me a smile. Seeing them drink beer made me remember that the entire main cast should be around 20 years old at this point, if not older (excepting the obvious child characters like Suika). About the episode, idk, the discussion was important, but other than that this felt like fucking filler lmao, what was the point on even playing if they knew everyone was going to cheat? zzz |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Such a flashy opening. Excited for the final season. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I think everyone and their mother agreed that Kohaku looked absolutely stunning in that golden dress. In terms of the OP I really enjoyed the visual style, it was something new and fresh. Very good In terms of the ED I also think its good 4/5 |
ObviousAlt2552Jan 9, 11:28 AM
| First episode of the new season and starts with... ...poker match!!! kekeke |
| Besides the epileptic inducing intro, everything else was fine. |

| @UwUKingPikachu Yes and No. Although there are no casinos in Japan, the only legal forms of gambling are at Pachinko parlors, pro motorsports racing, horse racing, and lotto tickets. |

| Dr Stone is back once more and it delivered something awesome, which was... ...Kohaku wearing a figure-hugging gold dress. God damn, she looked hot wearing it! Aside from that, it also gave us an amusing poker battle just to settle an argument between Senku and Ryuusei in what route they would take across the pacific ocean towards the USA. Gen and Kohaku only added to the entertainment value on the battle, which ended in Senku and Kohaku's victory. Speaking of entertainment, the OP was very catchy and I do like the visual style as well. The ED itself is nice and simple, but I do prefer the OP this time around. Overall, this was a fun episode to get back into the groove of Dr Stone for this multi-split cour 4th season. =) |
| Kohaku's boobs and ass with her figure-hugging gold dress!! 😍 |
Nikki's boobs!! 😍  |
