“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😭

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.

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?

Faded love part 36💚💜 one of my fave pictures in faded love. I just love how the water turned out and the perspective.

#sengenfl for more chapters

[littleholmes]

I know why they don’t just make a rule that old man Kaseki would get revival fluid so he could live as long as everyone else but still 😭

[senkusphone]

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.

Which elemental vision I think each DCST character would have:

(Those are all based on my own understanding of the visions and their meanings, if I left someone out is either because I have no idea or I don't see them having a vision)

Senku: Dendro - Despite the petrification and the burden he carries, he still has a growing desire to seek knowledge and help the others by his own moral compass

Taiju: Geo - His unpenetrable will to protect others and confess to Yuzuhira allowed him to stay conscious through the entire petrification

Kaseki: Pyro - His burning passion for creating new things despite his old age

Yuzuhira: Hydro - Despite the huge responsibility to glue all the statue pieces together, she remained strong and never backed down

Kohaku: Geo - Her solid determination to help her sister and reach her goal to cure her

Ruri: Hydro - She carries the responsibility of being the priestess of the village and passing on the 100 tales

Chrome: Pyro - He has a burning passion for exploring and discovering new things

Suika: Anemo - Wishes to free herself from her past where she wasn't able to help anyone by being as useful as possible (definitely not because she reminds me of Sayuu rolling around haha definitely not)

Gen: Electro - He doesn't view the world as the black and white good or bad, he has his own views on what's right and goes by it, often seen as weird or malicious to others

Ukyo: Cryo - He had his own ideals towards the massacre of statues, but he had to remain quiet for his own survival and sometimes even questioning his own morals, but even after enduring that pain alone he still managed to rise up to the top of the Tsukasa empire

Tsukasa: Anemo - He wanted to free himself from the past rules of the world, even if his means we're questionable, he went by what he believed to be right to free humanity from corruption

Hyoga: Electro - He had his own incomprehensible world views that stand for his own personal morals

Ryusui: Pyro - He burns for more and more and is passionate about that, he would do anything to achieve his goals

Sai: Dendro - Yearns for new things to explore/program and wants to learn about those new things despite the weird situation he's in

Xeno: Electro - His knowledge was misunderstood and viewed as a threat, so he built his own kingdom where his ideals are well received and not viewed as a bad thing, rather a necessity.

Stanley: Cryo - He's strict to his own rules and is cold as ice, we don't see much in his lore but I feel like cryo is the best fitting for him

It was very, VERY hard to not just put pyro and Geo for everyone. Mostly because most of the characters don't really have a defined backstory but also because everyone is really passionate and determined about their own thing
