Today’s episode of Dr Stone Season 4 or Dr. Stone: Science Future was absolutely intense with shocking moments. Let us see how this episode turned out.

Dr Stone Season 4 Episode 10 Recap

Despite Senku’s injuries, the Kingdom of Science remains steadfast in its resolve. With Senku temporarily out of commission, Chrome steps up to lead scientific endeavours, particularly the development of a drill. He devises a blueprint for the machine and entrusts Kaseki with its construction. The final product is nothing short of impressive, leaving everyone in awe, though its menacing appearance makes it seem more like a weapon than a tool.

To support the drilling efforts, the Kingdom of Science assigns Taiju to the team. Before setting off, he entrusts Luna and Yuzuriha with Senku’s care. Anticipating that he’ll be followed regardless, Taiju humorously decides to bring along Carlos, Luna’s driver, effectively making him part of the expedition. Meanwhile, Luna becomes smitten with Senku and presents him with an unusual deal: she’ll assist him, but only if he agrees to be her boyfriend.

Carlos is utterly exasperated by Luna’s proposal but ultimately finds himself aligning with the Kingdom of Science. With both sides now holding leverage over each other, the stakes are higher than ever as the decisive confrontation draws near. While Senku is expected to emerge victorious, there’s a hope that he and Zeno can find common ground.

The connection between Senku and Zeno runs deep, and under different circumstances, Zeno would likely never wish for Senku’s demise. However, fate has placed them on opposing sides, forcing them into a conflict that must reach its inevitable conclusion.

Dr Stone Season 4 Episode 11 Review And Recap

Today’s episode starts right away with a fight, that too, in the sky. Ryusui takes Stanley on in a dogfight, where they both try to crash each other’s planes in mid-air. Stanley, who has way more experience as a combat pilot, is gliding through the air without any issues. Whereas Ryusui, who has not flown that much, is still managing to give Stanley a tough competition. However, the biggest advantage that Ryusui has is the presence of Senku himself in his back seat.

Senku is gravely injured but still decides to ride with Ryusui because, in this battle, they cannot just rely on Ryusui to do good. He must be better than Stanley at flying, and that can only happen with some other tips and tricks. As they do not have the luxury of owning a machine gun, the next best thing they could do is make up a concoction that will definitely stop Stanley and his plane.

However, what they did not think of was Xeno attacking their ship while Ryusui and Senku were in the air. Xeno and his crew use their newly formed submarine and almost destroy the Kingdom of Science’s ship from below. Not only that, they also dispatch their fighters with machine guns on the ship so that we can take in as many hostages as possible.

Thankfully, the battle in the air goes delightful well for Senku and Ryusui, or at least, that’s what I thought when I first saw it. The conclusion definitely takes you by surprise with how unexpected the outcome of the fight was. The ending delivers a shocking twist while simultaneously building anticipation for what comes next.

Verdict

I loved today’s episode and was definitely feeling sad that it ended too quickly. The next episode is sure to be way more intense, as it showcases the aftermath of the fight. How the Kingdom of Science will get past this issue is something that will be interesting to watch.
