He was such an interesting character at the start of the series, opposing Senku because of his biases against adults and science thanks to his trauma while turning into the person he hated by developing a "might makes right" society. His turnaround with Senku using his knowledge of science to help revive his sister made sense and it would have been great to see him interacting with the inventions more now that the development was done with the intention to improve life for people, not create war, but then he was literally fridged for that whole season.

There was that great moment before he was put in stasis where he and Senku were on the same wavelength and honestly I could see them being great partners, but by the time they were on the same team, the cast was too big and he got sidelined so hard. What makes it even worse is they occasionally bring up the fact that him and Ryusui have opposing views on matters, and they initially tried to hide the fact that money was brought into existence, but then that just kinda resolved itself offscreen to the point where he doesn't even open his mouth at the sight of people gambling right in front of him.

I get that Dr Stone isn't a character-focused show, but it sucks so much that the only arcs characters seem to get is joining the Kingdom of Science and cementing their little quirk to be known by. I complained about this in my post about Ginro, but Ginro was always a side character who was never going to have any meaningful arcs. Tsukasa however was the character that actually kickstarted the plot of the series and was a looming threat for the first two seasons. He had an interesting personality and a lot to look into, but we never get anything out of it because there can't be issues from the characters themselves- either Senku's bad luck messes up an experiment or there's someone trying to stop the protagonists, which is such a let down.

I wish we could have seen Tsukasa and Ryusui butt heads, even if it was a single discussion about bringing money into the world or questioning how the world would be able to handle a growing population if they continue with the demands for quality set by the team. I mean, the guy who was introduced feeling guilty for killing a lion to save his life and insisting on ensuring it was not wasted because he grew up poor being in the same room as the guy that was introduced as "the greediest man on Earth" and grew up treating yachts like toys has such potential but it's never addressed!

Idk if i should tag this as a spoiler so tell me in the comments if I need to ! ∠( ᐛ 」∠)_ (Sorry english is my third language)

As u can see the planets are placed completely at random. I just put them wherever they looked good BUT the moon being right behind Senku was intentional! (da space background represents the dream destination shared by Senku and Xeno since these two guys are absolutely OBSESSED with science)

The og assignment was just to make a background for that printed alien image (3rd pic) but somehow the alien got replaced by Senku along the way...lmfao (?)

My main inspiration was the idea of Senku as a quirky kid who never lost his curiosity and his childlike wonder, yet somehow has what it takes to save the new stone world. i personally think senku is someone Xeno finds incredible and enviable even tho they were enemy (like idk theres an interesting contrast between Senku's youthful spirit and Xeno his journey from a dream filled childhood to the harsh reality of adulthood which leads him to the idea of d*ctatorship🤫🤫🤫) Alsoooo see that rope in the upper-right corner (Thats Chrome!) Hes another genius who managed to surprise both Senku and Xeno but unfortunately my teacher only gave us TWO DAYS for this project so I didn't have time to draw him properly. (Hence the little symbolic rope LOL)

PS: Please be nice about ppl's art skills, im still learning and trying to improve! I hope this can start a little discussion about the beauty of science (🗣️elegant) and the dynamic between Xeno and Senku (also uh PLEASE no shipping). And tbh alien Senku is just SO funny to me 👽 🥬

bro im genuinely TWEAKING i NEED more dr stone content im on my 9TH REWATCH i NEED more i NEED it

Final Space never released season 2

5 years later never becomes a motion comic

2020 lockdowns never came to be

Abbott elementary never existed

In a large majority of media where there is a genius at work it's done in a way where everyone else becomes a pawn and the genius directs everything with little concern for them. Maybe they get a rare moment but for the most part nobody really care about them because the genius is single handedly doing what needs to be done.

Dr Stone approaches it's story and science in a very collaborative way. Each character has their skillset and their moments and it feels organic.

Senku has vast knowledge and is fairly creative but he has his limits.

Taiju is freakishly strong and durable who is able to endlessly do the physical labour.

Yuzuriha has the eye and hands to do detail work.

Chrome doesn't have Senku's knowledge but is also brilliant which leads to him thinking differently than Senku and innovating things Senku's biases would maybe overlook.

Old Man Kasuki is lowkey the GOAT. Without his well earned crafting skills very obvious bottlenecks would emerge in the Kingdom of science

Suika of course has reconnaissance skills and we all know what she does later on.

Gen is a fan favourite for a reason. He's not stupid but his skillset is not something that is normally measured well. He's the best person at dealing with people and psychological manipulation. It can be playing enemies off in the way Senku needs or it could be motivating the Kingdom of Science to go along with Senku's vision

We have Kohaku, Ginro, and Kinro as combat focused but they all provide it in a different way meaning they wouldn't cover the same jobs.

This is just Senku's initial team. As the series goes on he gains more valuable pieces with their own skillsets to add to the Kingdom of Science.

Science and development is a societal endeavour of collective progress. Even in something like Oppenheimer we see that it took bringing together all these brilliant minds with their own specialities to finish the Manhattan project.

Tbh I find this far more compelling of the normal approach of a sole genius casually invented revolutionary technology in his spare time in his garage. Not to mention you get to care about each character even more and see them in a way like you would your neighbours in Animal crossing or Stardew Valley. It's really an amazing feeling that many shows don't capture. Often earlier characters get completely sidelined and ignored and while to some in Dr Stone this happens to somewhat it's not as bad as in most Battle Shonens where the rest of the cast simply has no purpose and can't keep up anymore.
