Dr. Stone is officially back, and Senku (Yusuke Kobayashi) did not hesitate to find more ways to improve the New Stone World in this episode.
After hearing of the village’s food struggles, Ryusui encouraged them to find a way to grow crops, leading to a complete agricultural upheaval for the village. Not only are they able to produce their own food, but when it comes time to set sail, they’ll have plenty of food to store and sustain them along the way too.
It was a significant win for the Kingdom Science and a life-changing moment for all of the villagers who had never experienced things like farming before.
- Senku, Ryusui, and Chrome arrive at Ishigami Village in a hot air balloon.
- After a meal of entirely fish, Ryusui asks how long Senku plans to stay in the village.
- Senku says he plans to stay for one to two years, depending on how long it takes them to find oil.
- Ryusui realizes the reason Ishigami Village and the rest of civilization never grew was because of food shortages.
- Kohaku explains that whenever the village has a bad year of fishing, people often die of starvation, dwindling their numbers.
- Ryusui decides they need to set their focus on agriculture and tells Senku they should use the hot air balloon to search for seeds.
- Senku is able to locate a mature field of wheat for them to harvest.
- After several of their fields do not produce wheat, Taiju is able to improve the soil by sprinkling ground-up seashells in the dirt.
- Taiju is crowned the “Food King.”
- Senku and the villagers are able to grow wheat on their own successfully, but after several failed attempts to turn the grain into bread, Ryusui and Senku realize they must find a way to revive a chef.

Predictions
The premiere of Dr. Stone definitely did not hold back, giving Senku and his friends even more resources to work with in this New Stone World. However, everyone knows the more you have, the more problems you create, and now it seems they are in need of a chef. It will be interesting to see who they revive, if they even have the means left to revive anyone at all.
- I have a feeling Senku may have just enough revival juice for just one person. However, with so many other people to revive, I wonder how some of the others may feel about him getting to choose who they bring back first. It could start to cause some tension among the villagers.
- There’s also the chance Senku has no revival juice left, and in that case, I could see them trying to acquire more somehow.
