Dr. Stone season 4 episode 8 recap

Expand Tweet

Dr. Stone season 4 episode 8 began with a continued focus on Xeno as he revived Stanley and others. Carlos coughed up the ring he bought Luna when he was revived, which Xeno realized was made of platinum. This effectively gave him a limitless supply of revival fluid, but more importantly to him, gunpowder.

He likewise had his people practice smithing and precision machinery until they made bonafide firearms, which Stanley even seemed to approve of.

As the full development of Xeno’s Kingdom of Science concluded, as did the flashback, returning fans to reality with a focus on Senku and co. As she overheard Taiju say Xeno was the one who helped him and Senku build rockets as kids, Luna tried pointing Taiju out to Stanley.

However, it became clear she didn’t want to betray them, prompting her to mouth Senku’s name to Stanley instead, with Xeno eventually having this name shared with him.

Xeno told Stanley to hold fire as he explained what was going on, wondering if he could get Senku to join him but deciding he couldn’t. He then gave Stanley permission to fire as Ryusui realized there was a sniper.

Unfortunately, the resultant chaos led to Stanley figuring out who Senku was. The episode ended with Senku making a shield in time before the bullet contacted his body, but still bleeding from the shot Stanley fired at him.

What to expect from Dr. Stone season 4 episode 9 (speculative)

Dr. Stone season 4 episode 9 is titled The Light of Science. The episode will commence from where it left off as Senku is gravely injured after getting hit by the debris produced by Stanley's bullet. Even though the protagonist saves himself with starch, he is fatally injured due to his injuries.

During such dire conditions, Taiju pleads before Luna, who is revealed to be a former medical officer, to treat Senku's injuries. On the other hand, Chrome and Kohaku are nearing the enemy's headquarters, hoping to capture Xeno.
