English Dub Review: Dr. Stone: New World: “Eyes of Science”

Overview: Senku (Aaron Dismuke) Gen (Brandon McInnis), Chrome (Matt Shipman), Ukyo (Mark Allen Jr.) and Ryusui (Clifford Chapin) discuss how to move forward with their newest transmission from the Why-Man. 

Our Take: Senku’s knee jerk response to a potential threat in the Why-Man demonstrates his strongest attribute yet: wanting to learn. Specifically, that of their true nature, but also their location. It is an excellent character trait in how it drives home his wits and will. However, it also smoothly transitions into his next invention, the radar. 

It’s also smart in establishing other use cases of the detection tech, like for sonar, or in Chrome’s case, a metal detector. Chrome really gets his time to shine in a wholesome confidence building moment in thinking outside the box. The groundbreaking innovations continue to come at a blazing pace with roads being laid in record time. Again, it may not be realistic, but it overcomes the hurdle of monotonous science explanation in a more palatable manner.

Those scientific breakthroughs continue with minecarts in a way to speed up their ship building. Their coming voyage and confrontation with the Why-Man looks to be an epic expansion of the Kingdom as even crazier science developments get underway.
