How Did Season 3 of Dr STONE End?
The third season of Dr Stone ended with everyone’s efforts to revive Tsukasa. Everyone held the Medusa close to Tsukasa’s heart to petrify his body. As soon as he turned to stone, Senku applied the revival fluid. Tsukasa awakens and inquires about the situation. Senku informs him of their plan to reach the moon, and Tsukasa quickly understood him.
Matsukaze introduces himself to Tsukasa and challenges him to a duel. With a single strike, Tsukasa easily defeats Matsukaze. Gen suggests that everyone wears war paint to symbolize their fight against Why-Man, and everyone, including Tsukasa, agrees to participate, vowing not to remove the paint until they achieve victory.
Francois began preparing large quantities of bread for the journey. Senku assigned tasks to each group, directing Yuzuriha and Kaseki to create a roadmap for the spaceship. Although Senku only requested a rough sketch, they ended up crafting a large globe that marked resources on each continent.
Senku knows he needs to travel the globe and revive several cities to increase production. To create enough revival fluid for the entire world, he will require a significant amount of alcohol. As a result, the first stop on their map is America’s cornfields.
However, Senku stressed on the urgency of leaving immediately to avoid winter. If winter were to arrive, the cornfields would be gone, and their plans would be delayed for months. After preparing the necessary supplies, the Kingdom of Science sets sail once again.
