Dr Stone Season 3 Episode 3 titled ‘First Contact’ gives us a possible hint as to how the story will develop further in the upcoming episodes.
Dr Stone (ドクターストーン) is an animation series based on the manga of the same name written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by the South Korean artist Boichi. After a blinding green light strikes the Earth and petrifies mankind around the world—turning every single human into stone, humanity goes back in time. Years of civilisation have disappeared, and the only hope to rebuild it is in the hands of a brilliant scientist, Senku.
From studios of TMS Entertainment, the show is produced by TOHO Animation, Shueisha and 8PAN. Each episode has a runtime of 20-25 minutes.
With the Stone Wars over and Tsukasa’s Empire of Might joining forces with the Kingdom of Science, Senku steps closer to his dream of sailing across the world. However, he might be a capable scientist, but he is no sailor; hence, he makes the decision to use Elixier of Life, aka Nitric Acid, on Ryusui Nanami. He is a born sailor who can take the group to its destination.
However, after several millennia, the world is not the same and hence their new mission is to create a new world map. To achieve the objective, Senku builds a hot air balloon for a wide overview of the village. Accompanied by Ryusui, he sets sail on the flying machine to redraw the map. The two of them share similar qualities and understand each other well, which makes the work easier and more fun.
