Dr. Stone season 4 episode 7 recap

Expand Tweet

Dr. Stone season 4 episode 7 began with a flashback to Senku aged 10, trying to build his own rocket with Taiju assisting. After running into trouble, he compiled an email with data and sent it to several scientists and science groups around the world. One of these was NASA, which led to Dr. Xeno giving Senku advice on what to buy and do. Senku briefly flew to NASA to see Byakuya and get his government credit card, then flew home and got what he needed.

He then reported back to Xeno thanking him for his help, starting the pair’s relationship as teacher and student. This continued for several years, with Senku then returning to America when Byakuya’s credit card had expired so he could get the new one. Senku and Xeno met each other here, saying nothing but knowing who each other was. They parted ways after, and time jumped ahead to when the petrified swallows were being discovered.

Senku’s published research on the phenomenon alerted Xeno of it, who then experimented with the American government to discover some swallows still had brain wave activity. Senku then attended a gathering which saw Stanley, Luna, and other characters allied with him in the present attend. The episode ended with the Petrification taking place, with Senku and Xeno waking up in the Stone World at the same exact time on opposite sides of the world.
