Dr.Stone’s latest chapter, titled “Know The Rules, Make The Rules”, continued the aerial dog fight between Senku, Ryusui, and Stanley.
Before Ryusui gets a chance to shoot down Stanley, the opponent pulls out his military tactics in the form of Jinking.
This tactic requires Stanley Snyder to suddenly change the direction of the plane which makes it appear as though the aircraft has gone wild. Using this strategy, Stanley manages to evade any possible shots from Ryusui.
The fierce battle among the clouds attracts the attention of the entire Kingdom of Science with every member’s eyes glued to the skies except for one.
Matsukaze feels unsure about the fight taking place with Stanley as he believes there is more to it than meets the eye. As the story progresses, we learn that Matsukaze could not have been more right.
In this article, we will give you the rundown of the latest chapter of Dr.Stone and provide exciting updates on what’s to come!

4. Recap of Chapter 165
I. New Rules
Chapter 165 shows Senku, Ryusui, and Stanley using numerous strategies to one-up their respective opponents. We also witness Stanley’s military knowledge during this aerial fight.
When Ryusui finds the perfect aim to take down Stanley, he uses a military manoeuvre known as Jinking which involves the deliberate and sudden change in a plane’s direction, often used to dodge pursuers.
As Stanley continues to gain the advantage with his exemplary skills, Senku reminds Ryusui that this was indeed a science battle. This new world goes by new rules and primitive techniques such as Stanley’s jinking cannot save him.
Senku uses the power of science through D.I.Y acetylene gas which he uses for carpet bombing Stanley’s plane. Though the gas is harmless to people, it can easily stall an engine.
II. The Ambush
During the battle in the skies, Matsukaze continues to have an uneasy feeling believing that the fight occurring overhead is nothing but a distraction.
His thoughts are proven to be correct when Dr.Xeno’s army comes for the Perseus using a military submarine.
The enemy’s submarine isn’t for deep-diving activities but simply to submerge his army underwater long enough for them to carry out their ambush on the Kingdom of Science, which proved successful as nobody saw them coming.
Dr.Xeno’s forces took over the Perseus by attacking it with a bomb that was attached at the tip of the submarine.
With most of the members of the Kingdom of Science occupied with the fight between Senku and Stanley, the attackers were easily able to take control of the Perseus in a matter of ten seconds.
As the enemy forces sweep the lower decks of the ship, they run into Mozu who notices the enemies’ mechanical machine gun and asks himself if this was their mightiest close combat weapon.
According to his opposition’s scientific rules, he and his team are supposed to cower in fear and surrender as soon as these machines are pointed at them.
Towards the end of the chapter, we see Mozu and Matsukaze take down one of the henchmen.
Matsukaze says that as Island warriors they won’t go down so easily and Mozu says that they will not surrender because they do not know the enemies’ rules.
