Episode 18 recap
Dr. Stone season 3 episode 18 began with Hyoga seemingly retreating from Moz, with the latter following him onto the shore. However, it’s revealed that Hyoga actually was waiting on Senku and Co. to make him what he needed for his kudayari spear. Upon receiving it, he was able to quickly and easily overwhelm Moz despite the latter’s natural genius and strength with spear fighting.
Yo, meanwhile, was trying to figure out how to activate the Medusa Device while also bluffing with it to keep Ibara’s soldiers away from him. However, Ibara then dove into the water and gave the Medusa Device a command to activate, causing Yo to become petrified. Ibara then retrieved the Medusa Device from him, deciding to set it to activate in 15 minutes before having Oarashi swallow it and run to the center of the island.
As the Kingdom of Science’s power team made a mad dash to restrain Oarashi, Senku, Chrome, and Ryusui tried coming up with a plan. Ibara then returned to the island once the Medusa Device’s light went away, retrieving it from Oarashi’s statue. He then followed footsteps to the mobile lab, where Senku’s voice tried activating the Medusa Device over the cellphone. When this didn’t work, Senku confronted Ibara personally as the episode ended.
What to expect (speculative)
Unsurprisingly, Dr. Stone season 3 episode 19 is all but certain to open up with a focus on exactly how Senku was able to survive the Medusa Device’s petrification. Given the positions and spacing Ryusui, Chrome, and others were shown to have, Senku likely analyzed the speed at which the light traveled and tossed up Revival Fluid to land on himself with the right timing.
From here, Dr. Stone season 3 episode 19 will likely see Ibara attempt to launch the Medusa Device at Senku after activating it. However, given that he’ll be expecting such a tactic, Senku will almost certainly have a plan to counter this. Fans will also likely see that because Ibara always had Kirisame throw the weapon, he has no experience using it in the long-range, which will most likely be his downfall in the coming episode(s).
