Dr. Stone season 4 episode 2 recap

Expand Tweet

Dr. Stone season 4 episode 2 began with a brief explanation of how Senku and co made beer to bring along on their voyage. This shifted into most of the crew imbibing while playing in Ryusui’s casino, with Senku and other leaders being notable exceptions.

This prompted Ryusui to order François to make non-alcoholic mocktails for the exceptions. Matsukaze then detailed his life under his original master before passing out, depicting that he was lightweight drinker.

The next day, Senku and the Kingdom of Science’s other leaders decided to revive Hyoga in order to train Matsukaze and make him a deadlier fighter. Hyoga, in turn, requested for Moz and Homura Momiji to be revived, which Senku and co agreed to.

Kinro and Ginro also trained, but on their own as Ginro didn't want to spar with such tough opponents. Meanwhile, Senku and Ryusui explained the tale of the Vikings’ trip to America to the rest of the crew.

They also explained how their primitive GPS functioned with help from Ruri and co in Japan. Essentially, they used the time difference between themselves and Japan to determine their approximate latitude and longitude. However, this relied on them seeing the sun.

Thankfully, Chrome made a sunstone out of calcite to fix the problem and allow them to continue. The episode ended with the crew beginning to see the west coast of America on the horizon.

What to expect from Dr. Stone season 4 episode 3 (speculative)?

Dr. Stone season 4 episode 3 shall begin with Senku and co making landfall in California, first exploring the area they’re immediately in. A focus on what American society looks like in the Stone World should be given first, both in terms of what remains of the old society and if any new societies have cropped up since then.

Likewise, episode 3 should at least give Senku and co some indication that a group of people awaits them in the area. These people will more likely than not prove to be the arc’s immediate antagonists, which should include the two new characters featured heavily in promotional material. The episode is also expected to show Senku and co strategizing their approach to build a corn farm.
