#scientists parent child duo... wormholes...

[sengenism]

Am I getting over that Senku was comfortable enough to cry in front of Gen and Chrome after discovering that the morse code from the future was fake?

No.

Do I find it funny that Chrome was upset at whyman when it used the voice of a dead man to inspire the world into funding the build of the time machine?

Yes.

Think about it. All three, Senku, Gen and Chrome all decided to use the voice of Lilian during the Stone Wars Arc, and I find this situation hilarious. Like it has come back to bite them in their ass.

This is what I call Karma. Or heavy foreshadowing.

Btw, since the ending is open ended, what do you think happened? I honestly hope Senku will be able to reunite with his dad.

[Dr Stone Final Chapter Spoilers]

I'M CRYING IT REALLY IS KARMA LMAOOO

not them being all like "we're gonna go hell together <3" after tricking the entire tsukasa empire by giving false hope that lillian is alive and everyone will be saved

just for that lie to kick senku's ass back???

omg i still feel really bad for him because a) senku and byakuya's relationship is so precious, and b) senku, gen and chrome were only doing all that to save more lives... but also ok yeah they kinda got a taste of their own medicine

AS FOR WHAT HAPPENED AFTER... honestly, i wish there were more discussions on this, because i'd like to know what others think?? time travelling is one of my favourite genres, honestly, and i like it in its many forms (especially time loop shenanigans). playing with time is such a risky thing, but it gives a lot of potential plot for the future of dr stone. so it's nice that it's open-ended, but also a little bit dissatisfying that nothing truly gets answered.

that being said: just like xeno, i think there's no changing of the past– what has happened, has happened and going back in time to change an outcome would create parallel universes. but was an outcome really changed? byakuya could've been petrified after he collected the platinum, and his descendants already began by then etc etc etc. so honestly i have no idea.

but i like gen's point about how the stone world is good to humanity:

i think senku has always wanted to build a time machine. he likes science, he likes the idea of making science fiction into science reality lol but i also think senku has not properly addressed his grief for byakuya and it's causing him to feel such deep regret which makes me frustrated! i want senku to reunite with his father (bc i really do love them both) but i also want him to go through the five stages of grief or something?? like dude needs to rest and heal and it'd be a great development... but i don't see that happening here lol

so what i think will ACTUALLY happen dr stone style: senku builds a proper time machine -> saves byakuya -> does it in a way that doesn't unwrite the villagers -> science is swag yey! ↖(^▽^)↗
