Dr. Stone 22
SCORE: 70
I am very blessed to have the money to
purchase a copy of the Dr. Stone 22 manga. I am very curious to see
where this series is going. There will be spoilers in this review. Dr.
Stone 22 is hyped as the book that resolves the conflict between Dr.
Xeno and Senku. The two kingdom of science will have one final battle
before it is all said and done. Who will win? Who will survive?
The issues families will have with Dr. Stone 22 are lack of attire,
enticement to lust, violence, blood, and more. Senku’s plan is all about
using one of the medussa devices to turn everyone nearby into stone.
Then to have someone outside of that revive just their people. Senku has
back up plans of course. We later learn that the team in North America
is also working on a medussa device that will be used to turn the entire
world into stone. That way they can revive whomever they want and leave
the bad guys encased in stone for thousands of years.
Suika becomes a very important character at the end of Dr. Stone 22. She
revives after a couple of years and then spends five years making some
more revival fluid. She winds up going from kid to teenager in Dr. Stone
22. The others are still encased in stone though. Suika gets Senku out
of the stone first. That is where Dr. Stone 22 ends up. I found Suika to
be an interesting cute character before Dr. Stone 22. She steps up to
the plate and becomes one of the major players which is pretty cool. It
is also a neat way to end it. Senku tells her she worked really fast
even though she felt bad it took so long.
The battle in Dr. Stone 22 gets pretty bloody. I am not sure how many of
the well known characters are dead in Dr. Stone 22. If they were still
breathing when they were turned to stone they can be revived. If they
were dead then I do not think they can be brought back. Unless this
manga is going to allow dead people to be brought back this way as well.
I will keep reading this series to find out.
Dr. Stone 22 resolves the major conflict but we are still no closer to
the man on the moon. We also do not know how these devices were dropped
down onto Earth like they were. This franchise still has some mysteries
to explain. Dr. Stone 22 does a good job of keeping the reader in
suspense until the very end. I loved the ending in Dr. Stone 22 by the
way. I wonder what will happen to the people in the violent kingdom of
science. Will their statues be rounded up?
