We thought
that the story of Senku and the Kingdom of Science had already lowered the
curtain definitively, but science never stops. During the special event
STONE FES. 2026, the bombshell that no one saw coming was dropped: the
franchise gave the green light to the production of Dr. Stone Terraforming,
a direct sequel in anime format that will adapt the events after the outcome of
the main series.
The news
was accompanied by a first promotional trailer that reviews the most iconic
inventions created by Senku and his companions, closing with a thunderstorm and
the voice of the protagonist himself releasing his classic phrase about how
exciting this new challenge is. This project will bring to the screen the
content of volume number 27 of the manga, originally published as a special
continuation set just after the final chapter of the work.
The manga's
own writer, Riichiro Inagaki, shared his excitement about it,
highlighting that, although the anime had already adapted the story to the last
original chapter, Senku's scientific adventure never really ended. For his
part, illustrator Boichi thanked the enormous affection of the fans both
at the event and in the digital broadcasts, promising that there will be more
details about this new phase of production soon.
To commemorate
the announcement, Yuko Iwasa, character designer for the animated
adaptation, unveiled a special illustration. Although the release date and
final format of this sequel have not yet been revealed, the confirmation that
the journey to terraform the planet will continue in animation already has the
entire community celebrating in a big way.
