On the official site for the anime adaptation of the
“ Dr.
STONE ” manga, it was announced that the final season will
premiere sometime in 2025 in Japan. According to the statement, this
final season will last three cours (three quarters of broadcast, that
is, nine months), but each of them will be broadcast separately.
Although this means that this final season will last
at least thirty-six episodes, the fact that it will be broadcast in
three separate parts opens up the feared possibility that it will be released
"one part per year" , so that we could be watching the
animated finale of “Dr. STONE” until 2027. If that were the case, what's the
point of starting with “Final Season” in 2025?
For their part, Riichiro Inagaki and Boichi began
publishing the manga in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in March 2017
and finished it in March 2022. The work inspired an anime adaptation of
twenty-four episodes produced by TMS studios. Entertainment, under the
direction of Shinya Iino and scripts written by Yuichiro Kido, premiered in
July 2019. A second season followed in Winter-2021 (January-March) and a third
in Fall-2023 (October-December).
Synopsis of Dr. STONE
After five years of harboring
unexpressed feelings, high school student Taiju Ooki is finally ready to
confess his love to Yuzuriha Ogawa. However, just as Taiju begins his
confession, a blinding green light hits the Earth and petrifies humanity across
the globe, turning every human being into stone. Several millennia later, Taiju
awakens to find the modern world completely non-existent, as nature has
flourished in the years when humanity stood still.
Among a stone world of statues, Taiju
encounters another living human being: his science-loving friend Senkuu, who
has been active for a few months. Taiju learns that Senkuu has developed a
grand plan: to launch the complete rebirth of civilization with science.
Taiju's strength and Senkuu's brains combine to forge a formidable partnership,
and they soon discover a method to revive the petrified. However, Senkuu's
master plan is threatened when his ideologies are challenged by those who
awaken. Meanwhile, the reason for humanity's petrification is unknown.
