Dr. Stone Chapter 185: Release Date, Delay, Discussion

Chapter 184 introduced us to a reckless idea that could possibly defeat Stanley and his henchmen. Senku planned to petrify the whole area when Stanley arrives, and one of them will stay out of the petrifying radius to come back and depetrify his crewmates.

However, the plan will backfire if the designated medusa holder gets shot before giving the command. So, they built a high watchtower to keep the working medusa and its holder safe from the line of fire.

Everything is easier said than done. Will this complex strategy actually work? We bring you the latest chapter updates for this manga.     

1. Chapter 185 Discussions and Predictions  

Chapter 185 will take us to the final science war between Senku and Stanley. It seems Araxa will be the finish line for this long-going science race.

With Hyoga and Tsukasa still recovering from their injuries, the Kingdom of Science hardly stands a chance against Stanley’s skilled warriors. But with the power of science, even a hopeless battle can be won.

If everything goes according to Senku’s plan, they will win the battle without breaking a sweat. Moreover, self-petrification and then getting depetrified may heal the wounds of Tsukasa and Hyoga.

But it’s still too early to say who will win. We may get to see a most predictable betrayal from Xeno, which may lead Senku and his team to a vulnerable position.

However, there is no way that Senku hasn’t considered such a betrayal, and he must have something up his sleeves to deal with this.

The raw scans and spoilers for chapter 185 of the Dr. Stone manga have been leaked, and the rough translation goes like this:

The chapter is titled “A Beautiful Cleavage Surface.” Joel has created a lot of diamonds, but none of them seem to be working. After many attempts, they conclude that there is a cleavage surface along the line connecting the diamond’s vertices where the molecular binding is weak. Meanwhile, Suika and Francois are chosen to be the persons who will stay away to resurrect the rest later. Kohaku is relieved to know that Suika will stay away from the line of fire, and she is confident in Suika’s hiding skills. But due to a huge turn of events, both of them get spotted by Stanley while he was entering Araxa through the river.

5. Chapter 184 Recap              

Suika is amazed to see how easily metal ores can be separated just by adding water and using proper techniques. Gen further explains to her that humanity is like a little parasite in this vast world.

Meanwhile, Kohaku is more impressed with how the human race has uncovered so much of Earth just in a few hundred thousand years.

Now enough of admiring science and humanity, Senku and his crew are heading towards their final showdown with Stanley. They build a superalloy city with a fortified stronghold in its center, making the place perfect for the battle.

Senku always intended to lure Stanley to Araxa, but Xeno sped up the process drastically by sending him the warning signal. With Tsukasa and Hyoga still recovering from their injuries, Senku has no other way but to fight the battle with science as his weapon.

Chrome comes up with a reckless plan with which they can win this battle without any casualty. He suggests Senku to petrify the entire area when Stanley arrives, and one of them will stay far away who will come back to depetrify the others.

This may sound like a perfect plan but is still too risky since the plan will backfire if the person operating the medusa gets shot first.

So, Senku builds a high watchtower that will keep the medusa and its user safe. Thus, the calamity that once wiped out the entire human race is now their own personal guardian deity.
