Dr.Stone’s latest chapter, titled “Ultimate Knight” narrated a game of chess between Senku and Dr.Xeno.
The events in the chapter took place in two locations simultaneously, with the aerial fight between Senku and Ryusui against Stanley and the hijacking of the Perseus by Dr.Xeno’s forces.
Chapter 166 revealed that almost the entire Kingdom of Science had been taken captive by Dr.Xeno’s troops but luckily, two of the strongest members on Senku’s side, Mozu and Matsukaze were still free from the enemy’s clutches as they begin to wreak havoc on the field.
Meanwhile, the aerial battle between Stanley, Senku and Ryusui finally comes to an end as Senku’s acetylene gas bombs stall Stanley’s plane.
Unfortunately, one of those bombs manages to fall inside Senku’s plane which causes their aircraft to go down as well.
As the two members of the kingdom of science emerge, they hear a gunshot only to see that the person responsible was not Stanley and realization hits Senku that this entire aerial fight was a ruse for Stanley to help in seizing the Perseus.
When it seems that all hope is lost for the Kingdom of Science, the “Ultimate Knight” comes to their rescue.
In this article, we will give you all the details on the latest chapter of Dr.Stone and provide exciting updates on what’s to come!

3. Chapter 167 Raw Scans, Leaks
The raw scans for Chapter 167 of the Dr.Stone manga have been leaked!
We see Dr.Xeno with Tsukasa’s blade at his throat as the Kingdom of Science’s infiltration team snuck up on him so stealthily that he never heard gunshots or fighting of any sort. Dr.Xeno questions the team method of successful infiltration. He first assumes it is by air until he catches sight of their dirty clothes and realizes they have dug a tunnel, for which he seems impressed.
The story goes into a flashback showing that the infiltration team had initially ended up at the wrong location due to Carlos’ map being incorrect. After a series of hilarious scenes, we are brought back to the present situation.
As the team heads back through the tunnel, Chrome and Dr.Xeno get trapped in it; Dr.Xeno’s men then compete in a digging race to see who could reach him first. Meanwhile, Chrome tries to create a make-shift digging tool.
Dr.Xeno then remarks that Chrome doesn’t have many options because the Perseus is under Stanley’s control. He also says that he won’t kill anyone else, as long as they all agree to be under his control.
Chrome questions Dr.Xeno’s actions, to which he responds that politics are ruling everything, even in the advanced 21st century, and no one truly valued science, which delayed progress.
Xeno offers Chrome an opportunity to switch sides and work with him, but Chrome realizes where his beliefs lie and says that he never really excelled at what other people were good at anyway. Chrome and Dr. Taiju with the drill meet up, and Chrome cheerily updates Senku through radio, to Dr.Xeno’s surprise, that the enemy’s leader has been secured.
4. Recap of Chapter 166
I. A Game Of Chess
The latest chapter shows what appears to be a metaphorical game of chess between the Kingdom Of Science and Dr.Xeno’s troops.
The chapter narrates the events occurring simultaneously during the aerial fight between Senku, Ryusui and Stanley as well as the battle between Xeno’s troops, Mozu and Matsukaze.
The aerial fight between Senku, Ryusui and Stanley comes to an end with Senku throwing his acetylene gas bombs on Stanley’s plan that ends up stalling his engine.
At the same time, one of the acetylene bombs accidentally falls inside Senku’s plane resulting in their plane going down as well.
As Senku and Ryusui emerge from their fallen plane, they hear a gunshot that misses its target. Senku realizes at this point that it could not have been Stanley because he would never miss.
Stanley’s guess is proven true when a female pilot stands before them dressed up like Stanley.
Senku then understands that they were tricked by Dr.Xeno because they were not in a battle with Stanley, which meant that he was on the Perseus with the rest of Dr.Xeno’s forces.
II. Is It Really Checkmate?
Stanley then makes his presence known as he swiftly takes down Mozu and Matsukaze with his gun. The Kingdom Of Science is at a loss as most of their strong fighters have fallen.
Just as Dr.Xeno assumes that it’s a checkmate on his end, Senku smirks saying that he hasn’t seen anything yet. Then, Tsukasa suddenly appears at Dr.Xeno’s base and charges straight towards him.
