What to expect from Dr. Stone season 3 episode 3
As revealed at the end of the previous episode, Dr. Stone season 3 episode 3 is titled First Contact. With the re-invention of the camera, as professed by Senku, he and Ryuusui will be taking aerial shots of the land from the highest altitude on their hot-air balloon. The photographs taken from the camera will eventually help them speed up with recreating the map of the world and increase their chances of discovering the ”liquid gold,” the crude oil.
Additionally, as the title proclaims, the upcoming episode will see the first contact with another group of humans who were also de-petrified in the Stone Age. However, since finding another group of humans after 3700 years is surreal, it will take much work for Senku and his group to instigate an alliance.
A brief recap of Dr. Stone season 3 episode 2
Looking at the current situation, Ryuusui proclaimed that they must wake up someone notable for their culinary expertise. Realizing that he had that someone in mind, Ryuusui requested some Revival Fluid from Senku, only to learn that he had already run out of it. Ryuusui wasn’t disappointed as he knew about the person who still kept a small reserve hidden somewhere, who turned out to be Minami.
With Gen breaking off a deal with Minami, Ryuusui acquired the Fluid and sent Kohaku and others to where his petrified body was discovered to revive his butler Francois. Without getting startled by waking up 3700 years later, Francois decided to fulfill her master’s wish, baking a delicious German bread called Stollen.
After learning about Gen's deal with Minami in exchange for the Revival Fluid, Senku requested his most proficient craftsman, Kiseki, to build a device's body. Senku gave Minami the world’s first publicly available daguerreotype camera, making her emotional.
Later, Senku revealed that he made a large batch of cameras to take aerial photos of the land, which will help them create the new map faster. Ryuusui asked Minami to take Senku’s picture as the first photograph ever taken in the Stone World. Senku agreed for his photo to be taken and gave the most iconic pose, imitating Albert Einstein on his 72nd birthday.
