More backstory on when he woke up alright. But they ended it without even revealing if he was saved or not well of course he's alive he's the MC but still you know.

Senku such a clever man. After he figured out the formula to turn people back from stone he must have decided not to use it on the back of his neck for future protection.

I was really excited about this show... But its turning out to be a disappointment. I know we are only 5 episodes in. But still can some manga reader assure this anime is worth it. To me personally all that hype seems to be unreal.

Senku has a sharp mind and a true genius, who could count that accurately every second of a thousands of years- true mentality at work!

There has been a heavy amount of Space references in this series especially in this episode which really didn't resonate with me until the thought crossed my mind of..."Well what if there were people in space when the Stoning took place" Just imagine coming back down to earth and everyone is turned to stone. Thats terrifying.

Felt more like a filler episode to me but still gave some nice details about how Senku survived.


So embarrased with Tensura fans and the fandom, how have we degraded

So, they only said some things we knew from the start like Senkuu living and him building things. The only new things were POV monkeys.

Maybe I am the only one who thinks this, but I want Tsukasa to be the protagonist. He's calm, strong, intelligent and quick thinking. Basically, he is all three of the protagonists, but without their annoying Shounen-Jump personalities.

Building the world from scratch. That's Senku's role as we bypass the 1st arc of the manga.

The consequence of Senku getting hit from Tsukasa isn't so much of a liability, as his un-petrification isn't complete and the area Senku needed Tsukasa to hit was to release the stone off that area. And Taiju and Yuzuriha had to continue where Senku left off...or is that the case?

Senku's backstory, the beginning of mankind in the stone world, along with POV monkeys are such a chuckle.

This episode is on fire, aside from logic and mature thinking. Very impressive.

Well, im impressive with how Taiju thinks here XD
And knowing about Senku's petrified time looks good imo. Its like something missing is explained well here, like in episode 4 when we knew about Senku's past why he became obsessed with Science.

Beginning of this episode and Senkuu's "origin story" is like 5ch in manga so it cant be stuffed in 1 episode, but im sure that good part of the next episode will be Senkuu's origin( at least half of the episode)
Monkeys were soo funny to me when i was reading the manga and anime did a great job with adapting that and game like Achievements ....

Well, yeah, probably not the whole thing, I wouldn't know about it to that extent, but what we got in this episode, after the first half of it. The monkeys and the achievements were great too indeed.

That was a neat plan on Senku's part. That flashback on what Senku was doing before Taiju woke up was also neato.
Mankind knew that they cannot change society. So instead of reflecting on themselves, they blamed the beasts.

What kind of galaxy brain plan was that. Honestly that was a pretty enjoyable episode. Although I didn't really appreciate the cliffhanger getting extended, seeing how Senku (the shiny monkey) started from zero in the stone world.

Seeing Taiju lift that boulder gave me chills though dear lord.

Lol, I'm glad to see what Senkuu experienced before Taijuu and the others were awoken.

This really shows its cracks in intense scenes- that overdramatic Shounen screenwriting that detracts from the atmosphere a lot.

Conversely the rest of the episode was pretty solid- clearly the style suits those kinds of scenes better

I'm only watching this show for Senku. He's fascinating! Suffice it to say I liked the second half a lot. I have a feeling this is going to be one of those shows where I don't mind the plotholes and the asspulls because of my interest in the character.

Yeah the instinct thing is what I would call a huge coincidence (also known as an asspull). By the rock falling slowly I meant it fell slowly enough for Yuzuriha to think, run, throw and spread the gunpowder. Too slow. But as I said, it doesn't hinder my enjoyment because I always want to see what Senku does next.

not really , it fits with his character to think like that and act that way, an asspull would imply an implausibility which I don't think it was, as for the rock thing I have to rewatch it as I don't recall it being that dragged out, I interpreted it as going very quick but slowed to contextualize the response of the characters in that situation.

Finally, we have seen Senku's point of view when he woke up in the Stone World. As always, more antics have been shown and quite funny as well. But, it was amazing how he painstakingly acquired all the necessary things for humans to survive. Shiny monkey rofl.

Second half was definitely better, but that is probably because the first half somehow felt rushed and slow at the same time. Not sure how to describe it. The action wasn't that great, the manga does a better job of portraying movement. The direction definitely suffered this episode but I still prefer this over fire force so i'm sticking to it.

Not bad for a backstory episode... that being said , that’s some next level revival fluid if he ends up living.
It’s a bit ironic that the anime stresses the power of science , but then uses plot armour to save Senkuu.

another great episode. i really liked going into more detail of senku's time in petrification and then everything that happened after he was freed, and the monkeys being scared of his pp was hilarious.

another cliffhanger!! damn. can't wait to see what happens!
