| YOOO, FINALLY A GOOD FUCKING EPISODE It had science, it had plot, it had tension, Senku is actually fucking scared, there were 0 jokes. If only this entire series were always like that... |
Sorry if my english is bad (っ˘▽˘)っ~~~ Btw, cry about it.  |
| Holy dr. x really just doesn't give two shits no more.. thought he would be just a bit more rationale once he found out he knew senku... that he just didn't even blink a eye.. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Holy Moly guacamoly. That was really some good stuff. |
 |
| This show just loves to have some questionable writing, then follows it up with cool enough justification for it. Like, Luna probably has single digit IQ if she doesn't realize that Senku is the real scientist after hearing his entire life story. Well, it doesn't matter anyway because Xeno knows immediately. Or how Medusa ran out of juice at a very (in)convenient time after being in use for decades, but it has to because "5 meters 10 seconds" would've easily fixed any problem otherwise. |
 |
| The shooting scene was intense! I love how Stanley used Luna's mistake to find Senku. There's no way Senku is dead but he will probably be out of action for a while. |
 |
| That was rather absurd. Senku having a bright idea in the whim to create a bag full of non-Newtonian fluid in few seconds, predicting he is going to get shot and it successful blocking the bullet was rather unrealistic. |

| @JustMonaka she doesn’t speak nor understand Japanese. To be fair, the anime doesn't really highlight when they are speaking Japanese only and English only |
| It was unfortunate they heavily retconned the story to make things far, far easier for Dr Xeno and his group, and greatly speed up their backstory. After all the significance placed on the precise ratio of alcohol and nitric acid, during season 1, with Tsukasa willing to kill for the recipe in order to raise his army of goons, human statues were retconned to be easily revived with merely diluted nitric acid from bat poo... That was how Senku was originally revived, but after exposure over centuries, not within a few minutes. Even in the previous episode it was mentioned nitric acid alone attacked the petrified birds extremely slowly, a few ions at the time; and yet now they can unpetrify humans within minutes. A second ridiculous retcon was that claimed requirement to remain conscious during the entire time, which was never raised or hinted before. We know of only one case when someone pulled that off: Senku. But he did it to count time, not to ensure getting revived. The (former) "magic liquid" has worked on anyone without fail before, so the "remaining conscious" bit was an unnecessary retcon. As for Stanley's superhuman sniper skills, while a 3+ km sniper shot is possible, for obvious reasons it only works on stationary targets. Even if Stanley used a custom replica of an M2 Browning, with a .50 BMG caliber bullet (the largest bullet a sniper could use), which has a maximum range of 5+ km, at an assumed 3km 6 to 8 seconds would be required for the bullet to reach its target. In 6 - 8 seconds Senku could run halfway along the ship. So if the target hears the shot, as Senku did, they can casually avoid it. The point of shooting from such a distance is not (just) bragging rights but a silent kill of a stationary target. Furthermore I doubt even a .50 BMG bullet would have enough energy to pierce through Perseus' thick wooden hull at such a huge distance. Up to a couple of km it could do it, but at what looked like 3 km? Nope, no way... Nitpicking aside (😆) it was disappointing Dr Xeno still gave the kill order at the end against his old student. He no longer sees Senku as a student but as a rival, an obstacle to his world domination plans. A classic sociopath drunk on a power trip... |

Did you forget about Luna relaying "Senku" to him?
Simple train of logic goes:
"Senku" and high rate of scientific advancement means a scientist named Senku, oh wait it's that guy

| @snaukball I meant after the stone rays |
| Really good, exciting episode. Xeno's definitely the most interesting adversary the Kingdom of Science faced so far. His dynamic with Senku is just so cool to watch. |
 |
| The end of this episode was genuisely so exciting! The wait for Stan's shoot and the sudden urgency felt by Senku and his peers gave an amazing payoff Now I just want to see next episode |
 |
| Seems like Senku still got hurt because of the penetration. |

on 
| poor xeno. so much in getting stanley to quit smoking in the new world lol |
 |
| Okay. Just how many years did Xeno have to build and develop his Science Kingdom? Because there is no way he and Senkuu depetrified at the same time. Xeno should have depetrified way before Senkuu. And why didn't Xeno just tell Stanley to shoot the dude whose hairstyle looks like a mutant daikon? What the hell was all that with him materializing recordings of Senkuu's voice out of thin air lmao? Man, the development of this arc sure is obliterating the very little suspension of disbelief I had for this show. |
| A scientist who prefers to attack rather than engage in dialogue is not a scientist, he is a murderer. kekeke |
| This episode was intense. It's understandable why Luna was unable to point out to Taiju, since having the blood of someone on your hands is just impossible to bear. I really doubt that Senku was severely injured by that shot at the end, probably one of the fragments scratched his arm or something. It's also realistic they showed that the bullet actually was not a single bullet, but it turned into many small pieces, because bullets work like that. |

@Softhenic03 He did hesitate a bit though. In his own way he thought very logically through the benefits and issues that would arise with joining forces with Senku and even showed some emotional attachment to knowing who he is. Ultimately he decided that preventing Senku from getting ahead of him was the best course of action.
Him and Senku are very similar in the sense that they decide and do things based on logic, and logically it just seemed to best course of action to him.

But Senku would never kill someone it that were to be the best course of action for him. The anime already showed quite many times that Senku is more soft that what he's shown to be. Overall, I was also disappointed that he chose to shoot Senku, especially because they already used that troop before with Tsukasa, and we all know how that went. BladeX05 said: Did we really needed that mumbo-jumbo with his voice to determine Senkus height and shit? Exactly, are those calculations even possible? Like, I suppose they could be done, but it would give a very uncertain height. Not only that, from where did Xeno have Senku's voice recorded? It was already made clear in the anime that they weren't able to recover any record from the past (example with the Lilian songs). It just kinda feels they forgot about that. |

| @PokefanPT I've heard people that are 5,2 with crazy deep voices, and people that are 6,2 with average voices, the answer is probably not. Those calculations would give a LOT of room for error, so realistically they're "possible" but realistically they're not very useful. I would just guess and say probably 5,6 to 6 foot since you can't get much better than that without more to go on. Also the voice he got was from the radio transmission which had a split second of him speaking. |
| He could've just gone below the deck. Or on the other side of the ship. Lol. |
