Good for Senku's crew. They got a multi plan to take down Xeno so they're not caught unprepared.

Felt like a chess match between the two sides as Xeno also played his cards. Luna's chemistry with Senku is priceless. She turns into a shy blushing girl this episode LOL. The VA captured her personality really well imo.

Her blonde hair is striking too, isn't it?

Can someone please explain in what world, through what kinda colour filter is Luna's hair blonde??? Uei, please....

Pretty Senkuu does feel off though, he's a lot more handsome when in his actual element. 🀣

Tsukasa must be jealous if he know that his boyfriend flirt with a woman while he was away hunting the enemy.

Wait did I just see the pronoun "he" used for Francois, I used to assume Francois is female.

I love how Mos, a previous villain boss, is completely in harmony with Senku group, he's just a goofy and horny guy.

Luna my beloved finally on screen let’s gooo!! This was such a fun episode it felt like it went by in 5 minutes. Xeno fighting fire with fire, if Senku is gonna send a spy, of course he’ll respond in kind. Feel like Gen is a way better spy than Luna though πŸ˜‚

Senku and the group making ice cream from scratch really took me back to making ice cream in chemistry class, good old days.

“Science is elegance” Cat’s finally out the bag with Xeno’s real identity. This is such a cool full circle moment to have with Senku going up against the person who kickstarted his interest in science in the first place. Time for the student to become the master.

Really chill set up episode for the start of Xeno’s counterattack and of course Luna is so pretty, so hype to see her animated

Oh crap, not even in my wildest imagination did I think it'd come down to mentor v student deciding the Japan - USA showdown! Damn, it's so fitting too. This show really knows how to keep me on the edge of the seat, I swear.

Ice-cream though, that's quite something! That's a must for survival, I'm surprised it took this long for them to bother getting it, lol. Runa Raito is such a cutie though, and it's good that she still thinks Dr. Taiju's a handful xD.

New characters are introduced. Luna and her simps. Luna seems to have a stone mark above her ass but those two guys don't seem to have them. So, were they petrified or what?

Looks like Stanley wants to assassinate "Dr." Taiju by sniping him. That's pretty badass.

Considering how much she hypes herself up, Luna is a pretty dense character. She couldn't put two and two together and realize that Taiju was a decoy and Senku was the real scientist because of how smart he is lol. Also, why is the gang still calling Taiju by his name? After the pretty obvious spy, they should've started using codenames just to be safe.

I guess there are some things even Dr. Xeno's Science Kingdom doesn't have. That is ice cream. I guess cigarettes were more important lol.

Hold up, Dr. Xeno is a NASA scientist AND he's Senku's old mentor?! That makes things way more interesting. I wonder if Xeno even remembers Senku.

I completely agree. One of the few things that I don't like about Dr. STONE is its "humor" (if you can even call it that). It feels so repetitive and it sometimes makes the story worse. For example, was it really necessary for Luna to do a joke when she was talking to Stanley about him literally killing somebody? That was so weird and unnecessary.

That teacher vs. student twist I didn't expect! Now that Senkuu knows he's up against his mentor, Dr. Xeno, there's a chance that, if Xeno realizes he's Senkuu, the war will come to an end. Luna, who has no idea who the real scientist on the ship is, incredibly, after talking to Senkuu still believes that Taiju is the real scientist.

It's likely that Luna will eventually discover that Senkuu is the real scientist. The real question is whether she will figure it out before she falls in love with him, even though to Senkuu she will just be another labor force.

Dr. Xeno has a plan to assassinate Dr. Taiju and Gen can't do much since they can intercept radio signals.
Stanley has already guessed the supposed defector Gen is a spy in Dr. Xeno 's kingdom. Now, they send a spy of their own, Luna.

Her servants? Max and Carlos bring water bottles as sniper Stanley is gonna be perched up on that tree waiting for Luna to give the signal.

So the reason those two had to carry and not Luna is so she could play a convincing escapee from Dr. Xeno.

Ryusui's sailor instinct already knows something is amiss.

Dr. X wants to kill the youth kingdom of science's leader elegantly; Luna marking Taiju and Stanley sniping is the plan they have to execute.

Luna makes an impression on the crew of the Perseus. But while she is charming most of the men on board, she herself is charmed by Senku, who she doesn't know is the main scientist.

Senku's organic chemistry is the key to getting information out of Luna; making synthetic vanilla flavour for ice cream served at Bar Francois.

With a spy infatuated, Senku can confirm his suspicion about who Dr. Xeno is; a former NASA scientist, his mentor, the one who got him building rockets before the world was petrified. Luna recognises both have an affinity for elegance.

So Xeno has ties to NASA which inspired Senku to build a rocket which explains why the new girl is named Luna(Moon) which can't be a coincidence. They still don't know the identity of the fake scientist Dr. Taiju or that Senku is the real leader that is being targeted once Luna finds out who the real scientist is.

Luna helped to make this episode a really enjoyable one. Not only does she look attractive, but her inner monologue and crazy reactions had me laughing often. Same goes for how Senku went on the charm offensive with his attempt in interrogating her.

You can't go wrong when it comes to ice-cream. While it's not my favourite flavour, a simple soft serve vanilla ice-cream is always a safe choice to fall on and it went down perfectly with Luna and the rest of Senku's crew. I won't lie, it made me a bit hungry... XD

This scene did lead to Luna telling Senku about Xeno and the words "Science is elegant" struck down on Senku really hard. The very thing that Senku made when he was younger, a small rocket, was inspired by an online article written by Dr Xeno himself, so now we have an interesting type of master vs student battle here. It'll be interesting to see how both sides with try to outwit each other in the coming episodes.

Really liked this episode, and the reveal at the end with Xeno was pretty crazy. I'm mostly wondering whether Senku will try to talk it out with Xeno or not, and what Stanley and Luna will add to the equation.

Couldn't agree more. I don't know if it's the author's humor or if the studio that makes the anime adds it as filler content but it's really off-putting. It's as if everyone is trying to one up each other in a competition of who will make the worst jokes.

I'm finding it harder to blame Dr. Xeno for going so far as to assassinate Senku for the revival fluid. Having such incompetent imbeciles as those two simps and Luna who isn't as bright as what her name evokes for society, Dr. Xeno is too hard-pressed to do otherwise lol. I was expecting Stan to shut them up by holding them at gun point but he proved to be more patient than I gave him credit for. This also explains the oddly abundant trust and sympathy Dr. Xeno has for him.

Coincidentally albeit fortunately so, able people happened to be concentrated near Senku's surroundings during the petrification, considering that he wasn't situated in Tokyo where one would expect such magnitude of them.

Having slogged through the endless filler scenes, seeing the slightly underwhelming reveal that Dr. Xeno was the primary factor in Senku's interest in science and skills thereof was what saved the episode from totally sucking. Will Dr. X still want to murder his young scientific pen pal when he finds out? Also Senku calls him a former NASA scientist. Now, is that because NASA simply doesn't exist anymore or because he was cooking up some suspicious things and had to leave NASA somehow?

Okay listen, I’m still devoted the Kohaku, but good lord this design for Luna is crazy lol, we got a genuine shortstack on our hands, I’m talking hips for days, I love it. And not only is her design great, the tasteful camera angles were aplenty as well, definitely very appreciative of that, it’s just unfortunate for Dr. Xeno and Stanley that she’s not the brightest spy they could have chosen, you have an absolute mastermind like Gen, and then you have Luna lol, she’s got looks going for her but she didn’t put two and two together that the real smart man is Senku, I mean she even said it herself that her type is the head scientist but didn’t realize he’s right there lol, oh well.

And Stanley is a mad lad for choosing to snipe the enemy (very cool looking rifle too), I thought with the way the previous episode ended we were in for a head to head battle with Stanley’s machine gun versus three Japanese men and a little girl, but I’d say this is a bit more realistic than facing Stanley head on lol, the idea is pretty dark for Dr. Stone but I don’t think anyone’s head is getting popped, somehow the plan will fail. And lastly is the biggest reveal of the episode, being Dr. Xeno’s true identity, a buddy of mine thought Xeno was Senku’s real father but this isn’t that far off, he’s actually Senku’s mentor and his original inspiration for becoming a man of science, also he’s formerly of NASA, pretty insane that they would meet again like this but the conflict just got a lot more interesting, it’s not just scientist versus scientist anymore, it’s also master versus student.

So Dr Xeno is Senku's mentor. Interesting.

A rather fun episode with some quite weak parts that made no sense.
First we see Stanley scan the boat dwellers with his rifle and seeing Senku with his conspicuous science signature of E = mc^2,
shouting from the rooftops "SCIENCE GUY!!"

And yet he paid no attention, despite being an old-worlder, thus fully knowing what that meant.
Sending Luna was not required at all, he could have taken him out right there. I fully get Senku's plot armor; he's the primary MC, so he cannot die. But why have Stanley rifle-spot him in full view of his science badge?

Second we have Luna. We see her spy on Senku repeatedly, while he sciences the crap out of a bunch of stuff; she also sees Taiju does not have a scientific bone in his body, and yet she still believes Taiju is the science guy, just because Gen named him. A man who they suspect is a spy, and yet they do not think he might have lied to protect the real science guy.

I am used to anime insulting the intelligence of viewers, thinking we are all idiots, but I don't recall having felt that from Dr Stone.
Until now...

An extra connection between Senku and Xeno! With the doctor being someone whom inspired Senku to build rockets and explore science. That will be an interesting meeting then once they do eventually confront one another. This was a great episode with the Americans now sending a spy of their own. We see some more characters from this civilization with this girl Luna and some brings carrying supplies for Stanley. Who himself is going to smile Dr Taiju, it seems like Gen giving these Americans any information has come back to bite the kingdom of science. Stanley is a cold blooded soldier who will follow through with any order Xeno gives him. The doctor even saying taking out the enemy leader swiftly is the best efficient way to end a conflict. These enemies are no joke, our group is really for to overcome the odds on this one. When there girl Luna got on the ship there were so many funny moment! Her trying to pin down who Taiju is, only for him to just be revealed right there and going outside. The reaction faces all around were top tier quality throughout the episode. Both sides are being cautious and trying to end things before all out war is declared. Who's game of subterfuge will win out!
