It's a machine gun but that's still science in this show.

They gave a glimpse of adventure is like in the Americas. It's great they gave screen time to all the relevant cast here. Thank this episode to remind me how badass Tsukasa is and how entertaining Kohaku can be on the team. Gen looked kinda like a goofball this episode LOL

So Gen gets shoved in the spotlight, go on, my man, time for you to shine! It's a great match-up, every moment of it is enjoyable so far. If he's really gonna be able to pull off Dr Taiju.... pfft. Just to clarify- they are conversing in English, right? VAs not having to struggle with it and us not having to read the Jp subs is just convenience, yes?

On a sidenote: I CAN'T be the only one getting some serious Yoshiki(tty) vibes/flashbacks from that design??? 🤣 Especially with Dr X vibing off it too, I know it's normally generic af, but right next to this guy, come on... tell me I'm not squinting too hard.

MORE IMPORTANTLY: HOW ARE WE ONE THIRD INTO THIS ALREADY?!

FINALLY. Peak Dr. Stone about to get going now that Stanley and Xeno are introduced. I’m beyond hype. Poor Gen got sent out on what seemed like a suicide mission, but the world’s greatest mentalist got some tricks up his sleeve and put on an acting masterclass. No better person to send undercover.

That plane battle was intense too, it’s so cool seeing Senku take on someone who’s his equal, if not a bit superior with this science shit. The petrification island was great, but the antagonist there just kinda happened upon the petrification rings rather than being an actual technical genius. So this is a bit of a first for the show.

I never realized how Xeno has a quintessentially evil villain lair with that big ass castle lmao. This arc is gonna be great.

Something like "I am Dr Taiju, with both brawn and brains, you shall never defeat me Dr. Xeno!"

Fr using Taiju is such a gen move, maybe he can be loud enough that they'll just think he's extremely eccentric.

Humanity restarts:
- Senku: "Let's make soap to prevent diseases, Coca-Cola, ramen, (insert many more inventions)"
- Dr. Xeno: "Let's create weapons, lots of weapons 🇺🇸"

If I thought Ibara was a big threat, Dr. Xeno and Stanley are on another level. One I don't know what the reason they want to take down Senkuu would be. But Senkuu couldn't care less: he's willing to take any opportunity to steal their scientific kingdom 😅.

Poor mentalist. But now it's Gen's time to shine with his skills. He has managed to infiltrate, but everything will depend on Dr. Taiju's performance 🤣.

Finally, a villain who's also a science user just like Senku. He probably revived independently, just like Senku. And he may be as smart or way smarter than him. Now, this is exhilarating!

Seriously, a villain like Dr. Xeno was long overdue. Someone who'd challenge Senku not just in his ideals but also in scientific knowledge and experience. Senku is especially outgunned and unmatched here so I really wonder how he's going to outsmart him. Probably with something like the power of friendship but still. For now, I just wanna see just what Dr. Xeno is up to and why the heck Stanley was so trigger-happy.

Gen goes undercover once again. Let's see how the Mentalist fares against this mad scientist type. Dr. Taiju tho was completely hilarious and unexpected! Man, it's been a while since I felt this much excitement for Dr.STONE. Can't wait for more.

Finally we meet the big guy.

When the sonar operator guy heard the noise, I thought it'd be a tiny submarine spying after their boats but a close air support plane nosediving at them is wild. Of course, Senku has shown his scientific aptitude again by defeating a superior enemy again. Senku was right to risk a violent encounter with the enemy to acquire the plane. Whoever wins the air, wins the war. Such an exhilarating scene shouldn't have been interrupted by good-for-nothing Ginro's sniveling, though.

How easily the enemy let Gen's team to locate their base aside, sending Gen to negotiations always turns out to be a good bet but he's going for the same tactic as with Tsukasa? Infiltrating the enemy by joining them and leaving after sufficient intelligence has been gathered. I expect Dr. Xeno to be more vigilant about it. Also he seems like a cool and eccentric guy rather than a villain oozing with intense evil like Ibara.

We don't know for how long Dr. X has been active but looks like Senku has some catching up to do. The guy's past securing food and even having the chemical base to produce complex mechanical items and guns, let alone having built himself a whole industrial-punk castle, and seemingly with only a few people as, oddly, no one was to be seen in the base.

Being chased by a plane wielding a machine gun must've been scary, but thanks to Senku's quick thinking, he was able to shut down the plane's engine and was able to take the plane itself as a prize. Senku and Ryuusui's smug faces were pretty hilarious. XD

After that, the main spotlight fell onto Gen. He was able to track down the pilot of the plane, Stanley, before he was allowed to follow him to the main base of the enemy, which did showcase how more advanced their technology is compared to Senku's kingdom. It was here that we were introduced to Dr. Xeno, an evil looking scientist who didn't waste time in putting Gen in a contraption which was a lie detector.

I thought that this episode would end on a cliffhanger with Gen pressed to reveal Senku's identity, but it ended with Gen saying Dr Taiju of all things. That had me laughing! Overall, I enjoyed this episode a lot and also knowing how good Dr Xeno is with his own scientific creations. This arc is very promising indeed!

The predator looking ass mofo got an airplane. Some are in terror but Senku is in awe. He and Ryusui want to take it apart, learn from it and make their own.
Thanks to Kohaku, they also find evidence to suggest the mysterious enemy has a cornfield.
She, Chrome and Gen do some reconnaissance with Mentalist Gen going up ahead and meeting with the Stanley, the smoker, who attacked them.
He learns whichever science user is their enemy is many more times advanced than Senku with an entire farm (there's more than just Stanley and the scientist working there, it seems).
This Dr. Xeno has already re-invented the polygraph, beating it should be easy for the mentalist but is stuck on naming the kingdom of science's leader as he doesn't want to out Senku and comes up with Dr. Taiju.

@Maou_heika gen was talking in english at first but then they started talking in japanese, so i assume they're actually talking in english and it's just 'translated' for the audience, which makes perfect sense

Well we didn’t have to wait long to find out what else the Americans have under their sleeves when they went after the Kingdom of Science in a fighter plane, it’s all just been weapons so far but I wouldn’t have it any other way honestly lol, I’m amazed the speedboat even survived that attack but Senku had that quick thinking with ruining the engine, I thought he was throwing a flash bang or something at first but that works too, nice throw by Kirisame there as well. But my favorite part of this bit had to be Senku in awe of the plane, I say he had quick thinking but that was after he was stunned by the plane’s existence lol, really beautiful moment there despite them nearly being full of holes.

And of course Senku and Ryusui wanted that plane right away, can’t blame them lol, I also gotta comment on Kohaku’s ass shot when she first arrived at the plane, she’s always had nice fanservice but the angles are extra tasteful this season, I’m not complaining lol. And the last leg of the episode focused on Gen infiltrating the Dr. Wily looking American base, I really liked his expressions here as he thought about redeeming himself for the poker game loss, and it was here we learned the name of the gunner and pilot and also got to see his face, being Stanley Snyder, a bit of a normal name for such a badass looking fella but a soldier can be anyone really.

And along with Stanley we finally met the enemy scientist behind the weapons we’ve seen so far, Dr. Xeno, he’s definitely got the mad scientist look down along with his personality lol, but I think he’s pretty cool from this introduction, an enemy that’s on Senku’s level is long overdue for sure, he seemed to see through Gen’s deception there too, but idk about Dr. Taiju lol, should be exciting to see how that goes.

The kingdom of science has their first run in with these American survivors in the stone world! An airplane of all things, not even Senku had that one figured out. With the air superiority it's a miracle that they all made it out alive. That plane looked slick with the nice metal, finishing on the wings, and the easy to access machine guns. We got a good look at what these people can make before we even saw the main base. Senku quick thinking like always saved the day, throwing that calcium into the plane's engines to stall them out. Tsukasa made a good point that falling back after an ambush is the smart move but it's also advantageous to pursue a downed enemy. Sending the trio they did was well rounded, Gen proved the be the most useful thus far. Realizing how easy he could track the pilot meaning its all a trap. Gen now going off on his own back to the enemy base. Just like they theorized its close by and has a plane runway, these people also have a gargantuan factory and field of corn. Its impressive how much they've accomplished here with their own scientist. Gen coming face to face with this Dr Xeno while hooked up to the stone world's version of a polygraph machine. Gen is really under the microscope with these guys.

nope, it actually showed gen speaking english, with the dude, but then switched to japanese since the it's easier for the Japanese to understand it, even tho they are still speaking in English in their universe we get an auto translation of it in japanese

Finally we got Xeno and Stanley making their full appearance and guys this is where Dr Stone gets even more peak than what it is rn, Xeno is a perfect counter to Senku who’s also a scientist and this whole season is just gonna be a battle of the wits between these 2 guys, I swear I got chills seeing Xeno like we’re actually getting to that part soon😭😭😭🔥🔥

Senku and Ryusui’s faces were so funny those 2 dudes share the same braincell when they’re both in agreement with each other🤣🤣

I like how this was Gen focused during the second half of this episode like our boy is about to shine with his godly finessing skills but bro…Dr.Taiju oh yeah this whole operation is going up in flames already😭💀
