Dr. Stone 21
SCORE: 73
I am very thankful I had the money to
purchase a copy of the Dr. Stone 21 manga. There will be spoilers in
this review. Things are moving forward to a final battle with Stanley in
Dr. Stone 21 The Science Team gets away to the Amazon forest, and then
over to a Stone Quarry. Dr. Xeno did relay the final destination in a
message via Morse code in the last manga book. Senku was aware of this
so he knows there is a time crunch. There is a daring plan that is
thought of in Dr. Stone 21 as well.
There are some cool inventions within Dr. Stone 21 like the stealth
ship. There is even a discovery I have been waiting a long time for. We
finally get to ground zero of where the petrification beam happened all
of these years ago. It was not what I thought either. There are all
these petrification devices with very small circuitry on them. It looks
like they dropped from the sky. No radar saw them because they are
invisible to radar. Which is very help to Senku in crafting the stealth
ship. We still do not know who is behind this. I expect I will need to
keep reading to find that out.
The issues families can have with Dr. Stone 21 are lack of attire,
enticement to lust, and violence. There is a moment where Suika saves
the life of one of the enemy troops due to a spider bite. She winds up
exposing her position and gets captured. She was doing a really good
deed and the modern day soldiers do not care one bit. I find their lack
of gratitude very disturbing. I could not act that way to someone who
saved my life. Could you?
The plan is to use the petrification device to turn both sides to stone.
One of the Science Team people must be far enough away to survive and
then use the restoration only on their side. That way the conflict ends
with no bloodshed. The others can be revived at a future time. At least
I think that is the plan. As you know not everything goes according to
plan. I believe there will be some interesting action in the next manga
book.
I found it interesting that diamonds powered the petrification devices
in Dr. Stone 21. They had some real challenges in terms of getting
diamonds to the right size and shape in Dr. Stone 21. I really hope that
Dr. Xeno will eventually decide to work with Senku full time. They could
do so much more together. Power is such a lame thing to fight for. At
least that is my personal opinion on that topic.
