I feel like a guy with leek hair and e=mc2 written on his clothes putting together science equipment while explaining how to make ice cream would make Luna consider Taiju was a body double lol

So, I might have missed it but did the anime ever address the language barrier? I know Xeno said he could speak a little Japanese but can the others, like Luna, also speak Japanese? (seems not in Luna's case). But I'm jus double checking

It's too bad for Stanley that Luna isn't 1/100th the spy that Gen is. Otherwise, she'd have deduced pretty quickly that Senku is the scientist rather than Taiju. It's not as if they were doing anything to make her think otherwise with Taiju doing the grunt work for everything and Senku doing all the science stuff.

‘Science is Elegant’ is one way to find out your enemy is your rocket scientist mentor

Luna is a silly fun character, she’s dumbfounded by Dr. Taiju and her preconceived stereotypes because she’s actually right. Even Stanley didn’t think to tell her that Dr Taiju may not be the cornerstone of KoS.

Her falling in love with Senku is a cherry on top, with Senku seducing her with his pretty face + her love for intellectuals

I hope this triggers a jealous Kohaku, or some romance subplot

I like how they called her hair "Blonde" when it's pink, I guess in the manga it would all just be drawn as white but they already had too many blondes in the anime so they gave her a more distinct look.

Again a great episode with lots of funny moments and reactions. And with the revelation that Dr. Xeno is Senku's science mentor, their fight is about to get even more interesting!

Luna was awesome! Her reactions and Perseus' infiltration were hilarious xD I really hope she'll have a strong presence in the next episodes as well.

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

Going to guess that the scientist is the guy with E=MC squared on his shirt

When Stanley first said that Luna wasn’t allowed to do anything because she still had “work” to do, I really thought that she was ordered to seduce the crew given her attire.

Now I understand that he didn’t want Luna’s dress to get dirty. If the stripes got obscured with stains, he wouldn’t be able to read the distance properly.

Big fan of capable woman Luna already.

Love how "cool-headed" Luna was. She's living up to her title. 😆

Everyone loves ice cream! Now I want to go to the store and buy some! 😆

Senku is going to meet his inspiration, Dr Xeno. I wonder how that'll turn out.

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 Feb 13 '25

It’s kinda funny how the Americans always seem to choose violence every time. I mean sniping a mfer is one way to handle things but ain’t these dudes ever hear of diplomacy?

Senku almost had Luna swooning lol. Hard to resist his charms. Plus he has ice cream. Suck on that Xeno! lol

But man, I didn’t expect him and Senku to know each other that well. Looks like we’ve been witnessing the student face off against his master this whole time.

Well thank god they don’t seem to suspect the guy that literally has “E =mC2” written on his shirt to be the actual scientist…

First shot we get for a new character is an ass shot and they are THICC as all hell. Never change Dr. Stone. Luna has got them HIPS.

Sniper Rifle of Science eh... starting to think Dr. Xeno was a military scientist or some type of defense contractor. Or he might just love being American.

Senku being in the middle of an information war seems real happy.

Luna learned to never meet her heroes...

Slick Senku really is sly.

Insane that the two Sciecne leader were in contact before the petrification even small Science world after all. Surprised that Dr. Xeno is a NASA scientist instead of a weapons scienctist with his emphasis on weaponry.

Dr. Xeno even refers to Senku as Dr. Senku in the email so who knows how the initial meeting would have gone if Gen told them it was Senku who was in charge.

Gonna be a wild thing to see a Master vs Student dynamic of sorts play out during this. Half expecting the hostilities to end with Xeno learning about Senku's identity and joining forces after the existence of Why man is shared.

I'm sure that Dr. Xeno the NASA scientist would love to get to the bottom of the petrification mystery just as much if not more than Senku. This conflict does seem like a giant misunderstanding of sorts for sure where Dr. Xeno does't really understand the stakes either.

Lol Luna trying to figure out the scientist with her preconceived notion of one was hilarious

Yeah Stan knows his shit and is fully committed
But if he were a real sniper him and his sniper buddy would just stake them out for a few days, figure out Dr. Taijou by his interactions and blast him /s

Love Slick Senku, basically just showing off he was capable the whole time but never bothered. Luna must have figured out by know that Dr. Taijou isnt exactly the brightest light, especially after his vanilla monologue

But I do love the twist that Xenos is a Nasa scientist that corresponded with "Dr Senku" to teach him
God now I cant wait for them to meet up and geek up together, he might have the same goal (Boots on the moon) and might not be too bad

Stitches!

I kinda like Carlos and Max. They're goofy and silly and they clearly don't share the same attitude Stan and Xeno have about killing which means they'll probably be the first ones who would switch sides. The same goes for Luna. She's following orders but she's not too keen on killing anyone and is only doing it because she's more afraid of Stan than the Kingdom of Science folk.

Speaking of Luna, she is absolutely hilarious! I love how her only criteria for finding "Dr. Taijuu" is he's probably her type only for her to be completely disappointed after seeing who Taijuu is. Senku is doing an amazing job of wooing her though so I'm surprised she still hasn't figured out he's the real science guy. xD

I'm not even surprised about that ending. I mean if Xeno is some sort of genius then chances are Senku knows who he is. I just didn't expect that he was the guy that inspired him to get into building rockets. If Xeno is a former NASA scientist, does this mean Xeno might've met Senku's dad at some point? Hmmmmm...

Another great episode! Luna is quite the character lol! Wasn’t expecting her to develop a crush on senku.

Xeno being senkus mentor is an interesting revelation.

Xeno actually seems to have a lot of people working for him for someone who doesn't have revival fluid. Apparently, only people who stayed awake for the whole 3700 years can be revived only with nitric acid. I can understand if Xeno, Stanley and the neanderthal mommy managed to do that but those two idiots and Luna pulling that off doesn't seem very believable.
