Dr. Stone

[Buffalobiian]

There's no guarantee that he'll stand still for 1 minute if his alternative is a loss while being beaten with a stick. Right now Magma is interpreting this as a free rest with no risk which makes him compliant with the bluff.

Personally my issue is that one doesn't stand still while their clothing gradually heats up to 300c.

[David75]

Per Jesper ruling, one could argue Suika's helmet isn't a piece of clothing anymore, but another weapon when used as Chrome did.
True thzt Magma's tigh should have had a reflex when exposed to that hot spot.
I also wonder about his clothes being that dry when he wore them for consecutive matches. Do not underestimate sweat quantity/mass.
Just try running with absorbing clothes under an water/vopor tight jacket. I did, and the damn clothes weigh a lot after a 1 hour run
They are also far from dry.

Because ScIeNcE!

[Buffalobiian]

Chrome used the helmet as a weapon, I agree. However I don't think it's against the rules since it was there since the beginning of the round and both parties had equal opportunities to access it. It's as if it was a spear left over from the previous fight.

[neflight86]

Also, I don't expect the stone age referee to understand that the helmet (lens) actually caused the fire.

The heat was only focused on a tiny point on the surface of the material; he wouldn't have necessarily felt it beforehand, like how a pot holder insulates the feeling of heat.

[DarthEnderX]

So what do you guys think, does Senku just forfeit from here on out? Or does he play it to the end for some reason?

[Buffalobiian]

I'm only watching because of Kohaku waki.

One thing I've finally realised from Kohaku Dr Stone is that I'm a leg man.

Episode 16

------------------------









What I didn't like about this was that Senku was already aware of a "global petrification phenomenon" prior to all this. He should have at least told his buddy about this after they both broke free, even if it wasn't immediately useful.

We should also send at least one hot person in space at any one time. This anime shows why.

[Ryllharu]

Legs are just an extension of the glorious hips.

Senku did tell him about the swallows, what he had found, and that he had noticed it before the big event. That was during the episode where they were both making the batch of the serum.

What was he supposed to do about it before any of this?

[DarthEnderX]

Well ain't that a bitch.

Of course this means that Senku village must be pretty inbred.

I forgot that he mentioned discovering swallows prior to the event, or that he was researching it prior.

I just remembered him dripping acid onto birds post freezing.

And that everyone in the village is a n^th generation nephew or sharing genes, Senku being that n^th gen uncle. Talk about ancestor seniority here

So like half of the USA then 💁🐧

[DarthEnderX]

I don't know what those emojis mean...

Wait...have I asked this before? I feel like I've asked about the penguin emoji before...

[MFauli]

Penguin = awkward/weird/lol

Feels.

Anyway, looks like Tsukasa wasn't fooled at all. Either that of he just wants to conquer the village just because.

Either way, its katana time!

[MFauli]

Man, I really didn't care about these 2 flashback episodes.

Ofc Senku will find a way, but really, what'd he do right now? Tsukasa coukd be at the village in day. Senku doesn't have any weapon ready yet.

[DarthEnderX]

Well obviously he's not going to GET there until Senku has made the stuff he needs(ot, more likely, he'll get there just as Senku is about to finish his final weapon, and the other character will have to hold off the army so that he can finish right in the nick of time).

That said, we've also been given our larger series goal now. Senku is going to have to make it to South America at some point.

[MFauli]

That larger goal is kinda obvious, too, isn't it? He'll send out a reverse-petrification beam and everyone suddenly unfreezes. Wonder if the series can manage to insert some meaningful unpredictability at this point.

[Ryllharu]

1) How the hell do you get some of the resources Senku is going to need?
2) The village is guarded, specifically from outsiders. 3500 years and there's only ONE village of about 50 people? I don't buy it. There are other people out there.
