#dr stone byakuya

[denden-sushi]

Ishigami Byakuya exemplifies so much of what it means to be a good teacher and father it just, physically pains me. Byakuya who understands the importance of not only teaching but passing things on to the next generation. Byakuya who wasn't a genuis like Senku and understood his strengths and limitations better than anyone else (because isn't it a teacher's job to know that about their students? so why wouldn't Byakuya know his in return?), who knew that he wasn't capable of reviving humanity – so if he couldn't save everyone the best thing he could do was to set the stage for those who can.

And I think another thing that gets me is that Senku takes after Byakuya, whether he knows it or not.

Because Senku also knows the strength of the people around him. Of course he uses it to his advantage because he needs the best of the best to be able to make progress in the stone world, but is that not what a teacher does? Encourage and help build the strengths of their students? To not only watch them grow but to allow them to excel and flourish?

Other than being their friend, Senku understands Taiju and Yuzuriha's strengths. He knows of Taiju's insane stamina and Yuzuriha's crafting skills. He knows of Gen's ability to negotiate and Ryusui's mastery of the winds and seas. He respect's Kaseki's craftsmanship and acknowledge's Chrome's enthusiasm for science. (Because even though Chrome was born in the stone world, Senku cannot ignore his love for science and his desire to know more and apply the things he's learned. He can make fun of Chrome all he wants but Senku was also a kid who couldn't figure out why the moon was following him – and so if Chrome's curiosity leads to a deeper love for science then how can Senku keep that from him?)

Byakuya didn't just leave behind resources and an entire village behind to help Senku when he revived, but he also (knowingly or not) passed on the ability to discern between a person's strengths and weaknesses and how to continue building on those strengths.

But I think one of the most important things that connects the two of them is hope, and it's why the people around them are so drawn to them. Because Byakuya didn't give up when the Earth was petrified, yes he was scared, there were so many things he didn't know or understand, but he had hope that Senku would wake up in the future.

Senku totally isn't the type who'd call himself a hero – I mean, he and Gen damned themselves to hell when they planned on tricking the Tsukasa Empire with Lillian's recording, so I'm sure he'd ten billion percent reject the idea. But there's no denying the hope he instilled in the people around them.

The joy of sight for Suika by making glasses for her, for Kaseki by allowing him to create things he's never even dreamt about in his old age, for Chrome and his never ending curiosity and ever growing love for science. Not only for the people of Ishigami Village but from the "modern time" people as well.

Gen was almost moved to tears when he saw the date carved into the tree by Senku because he realized there was someone who was not only conscious but knew that they would break out of their petrification one day. How could he not feel hope when he knew there was someone out there who envisioned a future after what was believed to be the end of humanity?

DrStone Incorrect quotes#7 *Kai's theme song*

Spoilers if you haven't read the manga! YOU BEEN WARNED-

I want a 20-something Y/n who raised Senku along with Byakuya, You were just the only babysitter who Senku seemed to like given you didn't baby-talk him...also he knew you and Byakuya had slow burn pining but the viejo sabroso-old man worried too much on the age gap and didn't make a move...then he went to the moon-

F!Y/n*Has the Megaphone for Stanley to hear them and for Xeno to hear as well, walking in plain sight you stand over a barrel, and tap the mic after the Snyder terrorized the group and made it clear they want Senku to meet his dad in heaven*-Whoever decided to put their hands on my kids, please come outside so I can PEACEFULLY BREAK YOUR LEGS!?!?

The Kingdom of Science*Trying to pull you away from shooting distance*

Snyder*Is Impressed by your balls, Describing your features to Xeno*...

-In the American Colony-

Xeno*Has met you in person, and knows what you're capable of*...

i was re watching Dr Stone because Senku is a funny little guy. And I had a thought.

Why didn't Byakuya tell the children that the sorcery they know is science? It's a simple thing to do.

No Byakuya, the ducking weirdo, decided that science will now be sorcery?? Lol

Children: Grandpa! What's this shiny rock!

Byakuya: Ahaha this is magic!, sorcery! Only great ... Yapyapyapyapyapyapyapyap

Lillian slightly exasperated and amused because he keeps doing this, memes and now sorcery? What next? We'll just have to find out: *sigh*

There's a Dr. Stone character popularity poll going on at the moment, and when you answer you get a random character icon, so I've gone and downloaded all of them.

Dr. Stone, New World episode 12

I was in tears watching the episode. Reading things in Manga hit hard, but watching them being animated on screen, and sitting with anticipation for what you know is about to happen on screen hurts harder.

My throat dried up when Senku realized there were more platinum granules in the placer gold that Kohaku retrieved from the spaceship! And it hits Senku that his dad spent his entire lifetime looking for resources, precious stones and metals, and creating stories for future generations, all in the hopes of helping Senku in the distant future.

And when Senku said they are not blood-related, he didn’t care anyway. And Gen says it really doesn’t matter because they are connected by their determination and love for science! They are father and son. My heart melted.

This is what parents do, from one generation to another they accumulate knowledge, resources, and experience so that it can be passed on to make the next generation’s life easier.

Science is the only magic in this world, that can surpass time and death. And science is the language of a father’s love for a son! I can’t! I simply can’t function watching Byakuya pass away all alone in the river looking for precious metals; just to give Senku the easier head start!

Of course, the task here is to rebuild human civilization from scratch. But a man without any modern tech, no way to leave the island he landed on, tried. He tried with all his might for the son, he very well knows he will never see him again.

Byakuya won the best AniManga Dad of the Year award.

Byakuya: Just so you know I would capture the moon and stars for you, I would live a thousand lives for you, I would take apart a mountain until it was a pile of sand for you, I would sooner disintegrate rather than let you go for a second thinking you’re not cherished. FYI.

10 year old Senku: okay??? What.

-3700+ years later-

30ish year old Senku holding Taiju and Yuzuriha’s first kid:

The baby:

Senku:

Baby: Aa

Senku:

Senku: ah fuck I get it now

[a-bad-poem]

[claybyte]

imagine senku sitting in the lab every night with the record player, just listening to the recording of his dad's voice, over and over again. curled up on the floor with his head on his knees, picturing byakuya's smile and eyes and boisterous laugh because he'd never forgive himself if he forgot that face. privately, he wishes he really had said "i love you, son". privately, he wishes he'd gotten to say goodbye. privately, he wishes he hadn't shied away from his dad's affection. privately, he grieves. these nights are the only times he allows himself to break.

[yutamayo]

It's alright. I'll cry enough for the both of us.

Dr. Stone chapter 1D Trivia post

Spoilers ahead

We knew there was a slippery slope but we didn't know which one it was.

First things first, as we saw, Kaseki was not dead after all, and neither was Francois.

This clears things from chapter 232.5 (Dr. Stone Terraforming) where Kaseki was not shown at all, and although Francois was shown to be at the plane at the moment of the crash, they were never shown to be rescued.

We do get a glimpse at Senku throughout his lifetime (hypothetically at least). The pictured time machine, just like the large one they are building, features the telltale disk from the movie "The time machine" (duh) from 1960, based on a novel by H.G. Wells, written in 1895.

We also see him using a bunch of yagi antennas again, as well as a small satellite dish, all pointed in different directions in his homebrew setup, perhaps in an attempt to catch the signal regardless of which direction it's coming from. A concern I've heard is why would Byakuya contact Senku's future attempt but not the one from his childhood, and the answer likely boils down to the technology. As Xeno said they used a specialized detector to spot tiny bursts of petrification beam

I am not sure what such a detector might entail, but since the petri beam involves a flash of light, perhaps something like a photomultiplier tube could do it, as they can detect individual photons

The Tokyo Sky Tree is a radio tower, housing a restaurant and an observation deck, it is also the tallest manmade structure in Japan with a height of 634 meters, or 532.7 times the canon height of Suika in chapter 178.

Here it looks like they've drawn the wrong design for the medusa capsule, this one has a speaker on the inside like the original that was sent to the moon, whereas once whyman was discovered, they changed the design to one with a small antenna in its place, and a speaker/microphone on the outside for them to communicate.

This is what I feel like in university

Yes we are

next up, energy

1.21 Exawatts has no basis I know of other than being a reference to the 1.21 Gigawatts used by the time machine from Back to the Future. 1 exawatt = 1000000000 gigawatts, so I guess Dr. Brown's machine was actually very fuel efficient.

The (exa)watt is technically not a unit of energy but rather of the rate of energy transfer (or how fast energy's being delivered in layman's terms).

I assume he means (exa) watt-hours, a multiple of the watt-hour, which is an energy unit handy for working with electricity calculations. This amount of energy is equivalent to a bit shy of 900000 megatons of TNT. However, if you could capture 100% of the sun's output (and I mean all of it, a la dyson sphere, not just what hits the earth, and with 100% efficiency) and store it, you could collect that amount of energy in just under 30 seconds. This amount is also probably larger than the consumption of humanity over the last 60 years. It is in fact larger than the energy consumed wordwide between 1800 and 2010 by a factor of about two, going from adding and converting the data here.

Helium 3 is an isotope of helium with a nucleus made of 2 protons and 1 neutron (unlike normal helium which consists of 2 and 2 of each).

Because it's a very light gas, it tends to float away from the earth and get swept off into space much like regular helium does, and it is believed that larger amounts of it will be available on the moon, where it is formed naturally in a slow but steady supply when natural lithium is bombarded with neutrons from cosmic rays. Helium 3 can theoretically function as fuel in a fusion reactor, having the advantage that it does not release neutrons in the reaction, meaning it does not bombard other materials inside the reactor making them radioactive (and He-3 is not radioactive itself either).

The big issues are its low availability and the fact that a reactor for this fuel would need even higher temperatures than the reactors we are experimenting with today, and we are barely starting. On that note, Tsukasa eating chip

These robots are very strange, they walk on their claws, only having wheels at the back and carrying what looks a lot like an old time minecart. If anyone knows what the name Johnny 7 might be referring to, let me know. So far I can see that there was a sentient robot named Johnny 5 in the 1986 film Short Circuit, which looked like this.

I could also note that the robots have "Battery A" and "Battery B" noted on them.

It might just be a coincidence, but I like to think it might be a nod to an early project in the series, the cellphone.

The cellphone had two battery packs, the lead acid pack to run the vacuum tube filament, and Gen's manganese battery pack, which ran the tube anode. Historically these two battery packs were designated "A" and "B".

For the record this is also the reason you can buy AAA, AA, C, and D size cells, but no B batteries. Those batteries used to exist, but they don't anymore, since the equipment they powered is long obsolete. Next up, Chrome has a flashback to Ruri's flashback.

Kirisame's headpiece has reverted to the seldom seen spiral horn version, she is most typically seen with the one shaped like cat ears.

Next up:

No, I will not apologise

This does not seem to be the same restaurant mentioned in chapter 43, though I guess it could have changed, since Senku seems older (might it be the restaurant in the sky tree?)

Also Senku puts on Byakuya's coat that was on the back of his chair.

Speaking of chapter 43...

Ukyo is not well

It's no longer Nanami Corp, it's just Ryusui

To conclude, my take on what is happening

It's been hinted multiple times that we may see the involvement of alternate timelines, which comes as an answer to the occurence of a paradox if Senku were to travel back in time or even just contact himself. The title of the chapter comes to echo this. Higher dimensions have been a bit of a popular topic lately with people making games in four dimensions, etcetera. This however is not that by the looks of it, the fourth dimension mentioned would be an additional time dimension, which can be interpreted as the existence of convergent or divergent timelines. One of the less obvious things that remain to be seen is how Byakuya (or someone pretending to be him) knew when and where to contact someone in a different timeline. We also don't know where in time they are located. It is assumed at first that the incoming message is from the future but if we are dealing with a parallel universe it may as well be coming from the past or even be coming in in "real time" (as if such concepts of relative time held up in multidimensional time).
