Dr. Stone chapter 3D trivia post

Hello, um. I hope yall had a pleasant solstice celebration of your choice- I've been pondering whether what we just saw merits a triva post, but let's try to squeeze some for the sake of completion, shall we?

Check out also my trivia posts for chapters 1D and 2D.

They're the same picture.

It took me way too long to notice what was off in this cover, it seems to be nothing but an aesthetic choice. Other than these off colors, this specific suika melon design first appeared during the Treasure island arc, right after Ryusui punted her off the Perseus.

To directly quote what I wrote at one time on the wiki:

Too bad, the ship Chelsea shows up in is not the Perseus D. Monkey from chapter 214 (which itself is a One Piece reference, as Boichi is a big fan).

Interesting that we get a nearly identical shot, instead of Kohaku standing behind her, it's Ruri and Matsukaze.

This posture done my Matsukaze is called Namaste (with other names such as Namaskar), which is used both as a greeting and as an indication of reverence all over the southern parts of Asia, along with other similar gestures. I know this is familiar to many myself included but I had never looked into the deeper details until now.

Figurines showing this pose have been excavated from the Indus valley civilization dating to between 2700 and 2100 BCE, making this piece of cultural heritage at least 7800 years old by the time of this panel.

Xeno has clearly had his hand in the architecture of the Japan side of the KoS, with some new constructions resembling his own Evil Disneyland back home.

Hold back yer tears

Kaseki has lived well. It's hard to tell how old he is now, he lived longer than the timeline's consistency thats for sure, I blame time travel.

At the time Taiju got wed, he was around 70 years old.

Kaseki and Chrome go back way further than the KoS, the fanbook tells us that Kaseki helped Chrome build his shed when he was just a boy.

Feel your heart a bit shakey? hang on there, we now get to talk about whyman's sorrow, and a small observation that I've made

Whyman can have emotions, the circuits that process that can be switched on and off, but the fact that a message can, or needs to be "left" for themselves, as well as his farewell for all eternity, has an interesting implication: once switched off, whyman loses the recollection of any experience they had in the meantime. These circuits allow whyman to feel, and also to then forget. This is useful, as emotions help them survive, but forgetting prevents the emotional baggage from growing infinitely over a virtually immortal life.

"If we remembered every single parting person, it would only be a few generations before the sorrow would pile up to the point it became unbearable. Maybe it is a blessing to forget. Forgetting allows us to get even. Forget sorrows as new ones replace them. Life can go on, if tragically. No accumulating loss that would one day make everyone struggle to survive and eventually pass on; though that last thing does also sound very much like today."

(10B points to the ~2 people who know where this quote is from, I digress)

So that's cool, and heartbreaking, but so what, does it connect to anything we've seen before?

Well...

In ch. 232 we see that Whyman does not know what created them.

How could that be, if they can remember things over deep time?

Maybe it is that Whyman chose to forget their creators, and everything they felt about them. Beings that they may even have loved in the deep deep past, and could not cope with yearning for.

The blonde, bangs & ponytail lineage.

The village graveyard. Last time we saw it, Byakuya's gravestone was opened to reveal the glass record.

A lot of recognizable headstones are still up now, some appear to have moved.

Other headstones might be gone or be different... The one with four dots that was there originally can't be seen in this new shot but it can be seen later in the chapter.

Also, I hate to break this to you, but there's more headstones now than there were before.

I counted 45 in the original shot, 50 in the new one, not including any that Chelsea and Senku may be covering. Granted this is likely just an oversight.

(I should mention that in order for them to match bottom to bottom, the top image is flipped horizontally).

(omg look at the babiesss)

What Xeno is telling Chrome is that if whyman went and altered their own past, then what they are seeing currently is the result of that, since whatever changes they made, are in the past after all.

They already happened and they are part of the timeline that leads them to where they are now.

Assuming they actually found Byakuya (or a petrified time traveler) means that either whyman created some sort of causal loop that is self sustaining (ie, the ramifications of the changes in the past include whyman going back to do them in the first place), or more in line with the many worlds hypothesis, that going back to the past and changing it creates a new parallel timeline where the repercussions of that happen, with no effect in the first one.

In the latter case it means the timeline we see now was altered by the whyman from a parallel universe.

The stone axe is a bit dissonant with where they are, technologically speaking, yes? Thing is, that's the one Senku took to the moon with him.

He's had it since chapter 1.

A few people I've seen mystified about this structure they unearthed at the cementery:

This is a collapsed building just like the structures that the Tsukasa empire occupied.

(shoutout to that guy about to die in the back)

Interestingly, this means that Ishigami Village is established on top of a once urban area.

I am always pumped for any extra bits of village lore I can get.

Did Suika's handwriting trigger your AI generated image senses? it did for me.

We were bamboozled again. If it ends up happening it's gonna be like the tale of the wolf. The moment we stop taking it seriously, Inagaki is gonna smack us across the head with it.

We were actually preparing for the poop on a stick to hit the f.a.a.n on discord. What do I make about the ending? I don't know, I got no big analysis this time around but I believe it's very likely we'll see more at some point.

Dr. Stone Headcanons: Sleep Edition!

IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE MANGA, MY DR. STONE HEADCANONS MAY HAVE SPOILERS!!!

Senku: He falls asleep on his back and snores just a little once he starts dreaming. Senku sprawls out and kicks off the covers after about an hour of sleep and wakes up with blankets and pillows everywhere with his body resting on his side.

Gen: He falls asleep on his side, constantly having to change his sleeping position (half asleep) to flip his pillow and shift his blanket. Gen has to constantly wakes up due to being a little thirsty every few hours and he wakes up in the morning either super sweaty or shivering.

Chrome: He falls asleep sprawled out on his stomach with the blanket halfway on his body, he grabs onto the pillow and hugs it tight like a teddy bear as he sleeps. Chrome snores a lot and rolls around a lot, waking up with crazy bed head in the morning.

Ryusui: He falls asleep with Francois tucking him in a big blanket and a fan [the automatic one Chrome made] and falls asleep on his back in a log position. Ryusui switches to a fetal position by the time he wakes up and has slobber all on one side of his face.

Ukyo: He falls asleep coffin style and stays like that until he wakes up.

Tsukasa: He falls asleep on his side holding the pillow closer to his head with one arm and holds his blanket up to him with the other. Tsukasa wakes up with his blanket still in his arm but his blanket on top of his face.

Kohaku: She falls asleep on her back with the pillow on her face to cover her snores. Kohaku wakes up on her side and blanket kicked off of her with slobber all on her face.

Francois: It's a mystery how exactly they fall asleep since no one has really seen Francois sleeping or at rest at all.

Ruri: She falls asleep on her stomach with her arms at her side. Ruri snores lightly and wakes up completely on her back, arms at her side, blanket and pillow in the same position.

Suika: She falls asleep in her watermelon helmet that's set on a pillow and optionally keeps a blanket on top of her. Suika wakes up with her pillow kicked out from under her and helmet off of her head.

Hyoga: He falls asleep on his back, looking like he's the scene of a crime, arms up and at a 90 degree angle and his head facing to the side. Hyoga wakes up on his stomach/side with his pillows and blankets still on him.

Kaseki: He falls asleep on his side. Kaseki wakes up in the same position.

Taiju: He falls asleep on his side, sprawling his limbs out gradually and snoring very loudly with his pillow under his head and blanket keeping him tucked in. Taiju wakes up with barely a grip on his pillow, blanket barely covering his legs and a small amount of slobber,

Yuzuriha: She falls asleep on her side, kind of in a fetal position and is snuggling her blanket with her head barely on the pillow. Yuzuriha wakes up with her blanket still on her and in a full fetal position.

Kinro: He falls asleep coffin style with no blanket and his head resting on his pillow. Kinro wakes up all sprawled out and somehow has a blanket on him now, no one knows who put it there and he is now sweating.

Ginro: He falls asleep in the fetal position hugging his pillow and snuggling the blanket on top of him. Ginro wakes up with his pillow clutched into his arms and blanket halfway off of his body.

Xeno: He falls asleep on his stomach hugging the pillow and a blanket only on his feet. Xeno wakes up on his side, blanket kicked off of him entirely and hugging his pillow.

Stanley: He falls asleep on his back, arms at his sides covered by his blanket with his pillow right under his head. Stanley wakes up with his limbs sprawled out everywhere, blanket still on him, but his pillow is right next to his head.

I wanted to start with Ishigami Village, as if they were a water tribe (most of them)

Also, Chrome may not be a non bender jij

What do you think the rest are? Like Kinro, Ginro, Magma, etc

Esp

Quise empezar a ahondar en la aldea al ser los primeros acercamientos de Senku en la era de piedra 🙏 da pie a como se desenvolverá en su camino de ser el avatar (aparte de restaurar toda la humanidad)

Senku se sabe la de chambear

¿Qué creen que será el resto de la aldea?

Hooo boy

Stay tuned, trivia post coming later about the chapter, I gotta do some irl stuff first. In the meantime, I have a guess about what happened at the end, putting it after the break.

So, Ryusui notes that things are progressing too easily and it seems like humanity's scientific progress is being steered by someone else, then he accuses the medusa of impersonating Byakuya.

I think the medusa wants humanity to progress to the point it can make more medusas quickly and at any cost; and to this purpose it petrified all mosquitos to make work easier like Kaseki noted.

It might have been pulling strings in a number of ways but this was the one that got them caught.

Dr. Stone Headcanons: Reactions to a Cat (Post-Petrification Characters) Edition!

MANGA SPOILERS, DON'T READ IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE MANGA!!!

[I don't know if they've ever seen a house cat before, how did they find a housecat? I'm giving no context. ]

Chrome: "Woah, it's like a tiger but...small and friendly!" *he tries to pet it, but he's kind of cautious*

Suika: "Woah, it's so soft and cute!" *the cat is already sitting on her lap ready to be pet*

Kohaku: "Wait, don't touch it, it still may be a predator-" *she's already in a fighting stance but the cat rubs its face against her leg and she lets her guard down*

Ruri: "It's quite cute, should we give it a name?" *kneeling down to pet the cat*

Kaseki: "Are you here to watch me work?" *the cat just watches as he is working on building one of Senku and Chrome's designs and he doesn't mind it at all*

Kinro: "Hm, it likes me." *he picks up the cat and the cat tries to bit his finger* "Okay, it doesn't like to be picked up-"

Ginro: "It's attacking me!" *the cat is scratching him everywhere*

Magma: "You're telling me this little thing is related to lions and tigers somehow? It's so little and unthreatening... ow!" *He goes in to pet the cat and it scratches the hell out of him*

Soyuz: "It's kind of cute."

Amaryllis: "Aw, what an adorable little creature!" *gets bitten by the cat* "You weren't even that cute anyways..."

Kirisame: "Interesting."

Moz: "Eh, I don't get why people think something like this is cute..?"

Matsukaze: "This creature had harmed my master, I must be cautious to it's abilities."

“But no thanks. I’ll be just fine without all that. Cuz in the end…it wouldn’t give me more time to be up and about living life. Naw, the precious years left in these old bones…ought be spent the right way.”

I don’t want to think about Kaseki dying and missing all of this but he’s right😭
