After a long and fierce battle with the Tsukasa Empire led by Tsukasa, "Dr. Stone" has finally entered a new stage. But what kind of story will unfold in the third season of the anime? Here, I would like to introduce the Treasure Island Arc, an episode that marks a major turning point in the series' third season, "Dr. Stone New World." The Treasure Island Arc is preceded by an episode called the Shipbuilding Arc, which will likely be depicted first in the third season. For fans who haven't yet looked into the Shipbuilding Arc, please check out the article on Anime Mill that also covers the arc. For fans who have already looked into the Shipbuilding Arc, this article will introduce the Treasure Island Arc, which is likely to be depicted next in the third season of the anime, "Dr. Stone New World." The storyline, which underwent a major change in the Shipbuilding Arc, will become even more dynamic in the Treasure Island Arc, so be sure to keep an eye on Senku and his friends' new adventures in this series!
Building the giant ship "Perseus"!
In the Shipbuilding Arc, which took place before the Treasure Island Arc, Senku and his friends finally succeeded in building the Perseus, a massive ship capable of carrying numerous crew members. In RPGs like Dragon Quest, acquiring a ship greatly expands the character's range of action and accelerates the story. Similarly, in this film, by acquiring a ship, Senku and his friends are able to enter new realms of adventure that they could not have ventured into before.
Fuel and personnel all in!
Not only have you successfully gathered the ship, but you've also gathered the necessary fuel and people with the skills to operate it. All that's left now is to board the ship and set out on a new adventure.
Find the place where Hyakuya and the others crash-landed!
Senku and his friends' destination was the location where his father, Byakuya, and his companions had made an emergency landing. This is because the Hyakumonogatari, a tale passed down from Byakuya, told by Ruri, hinted at the presence of a treasure chest somewhere. Naturally, if it was a treasure chest left behind by Byakuya and his companions, it would undoubtedly contain something useful to Senku. So Senku decided to embark on a new adventure to find the treasure chest left behind by Byakuya and his companions.
Let's head out to the open sea!
So, Senku and his friends set out on the open seas aboard their newly constructed Perseus. With the help of Ryusui, an accomplished sailor, they set out on a new adventure, heading for the spot where Byakuya once crash-landed.
In Search of the Treasure Chest
The treasure chest left behind by Hyakuya may contain extremely valuable minerals, such as diamonds and platinum, that cannot be mined with current technology.
Obtaining these precious resources will further strengthen the Kingdom of Science!
Science and technology are closely linked to the evolution of materials. Not only is technology necessary, but the appropriate materials are also needed to bring that technology to life. In other words, by obtaining the materials left behind by Byakuya and his companions here, which cannot be produced today, Senku and his scientific kingdom will be able to further advance their technology.
Soyuz's Contribution!?
At first, Senku and his friends were unsure of their destination, but thanks to the contributions of a certain nameless villager, they were able to reach Treasure Island. That nameless villager was Soyuz. Originally from another region, he was given the unusual name "Soyuz," a name that would not be used in Ishigami Village. For this reason, he kept his name a secret, but the name Soyuz was the same as the spaceship that Hyakuya and his friends were aboard. This means that his hometown clearly has some connection to Hyakuya and his friends, and Senku and his friends decide to head for Soyuz's home planet, pinning their hopes on this slim hope.
A Fierce Battle with Priest Ibara
Once they reach Soyuz's home planet, Senku and his friends encounter a new enemy: Priest Ibara. From here, we'll give you a brief overview of the battle that unfolds when Senku and his friends land on Treasure Island.
Kill the Island Chief and Seize Power
Ibara was originally just a priest who served as the island's priest, and wasn't particularly important to the island. However, after petrifying and killing the island's chief, he seized power. As a result, despite being a priest, he has become the island's most powerful leader, and a dictatorial regime is in place on the island.
Drive in the Silver Wolf!
The thorns corner Senku and his companions on numerous occasions. Ginrou, in particular, was fatally wounded in a battle with the thorns, and Senku's companions were cornered by these thorns on numerous occasions. Among the characters appearing in the series, Ibara is particularly ruthless and utterly villainous, so be sure to pay close attention to his battle with the unruly priest.
In the end, he is petrified by Senku and the others
Ibara cornered Senku and the others in numerous scenes, but in the end, Senku's numerous technological inventions turned the petrification device he had been using against them, resulting in his defeat. Unlike previous villains like Tsukasa, Ibara was a villain with no room for sympathy, and many fans were sure to feel a sense of relief at his defeat.
He finally gets his hands on the petrification device!
In the Treasure Island arc, Niikura found a bigger treasure than he had initially anticipated: a petrification device. The petrification device can petrify targets, just as humanity was once petrified. Not only can it be used as a weapon, but it also has the surprising ability to repair wounds once a petrified creature is released, allowing it to heal even mortally wounded creatures.
Tsukasa's revival is now possible
After obtaining the petrification device, Senku's first action was to revive his former enemy, Shishio Tsukasa. He used the device to petrify Tsukasa, who had been in cold sleep, and then by un-petrifying him again, he was able to repair the injuries he had received from Hyougetsu and save his life.
A Universal Medical Tool in Some Ways
As such, depending on how it's used, the petrification device can also serve as a universal medical tool, capable of repairing any wound. It's likely to play a crucial role in Senku and his friends' adventures. Unfortunately, after reviving Tsukasa, the petrification device ran out of energy. However, if they can somehow recharge it, they'll have the ultimate device capable of healing any wound.
We've finally obtained over-technology that surpasses that of the old world!
Senku and his friends have finally succeeded in obtaining the ultimate over-technology that surpasses the old world. While the technology is still inferior to that of the old world, the interesting thing about the new world depicted in Dr. Stone is that not everything is inferior to the old world.
New science and technology also makes its appearance!
As you can see, the Treasure Island arc introduced many new scientific technologies. From here, I'd like to briefly introduce the new technologies that appear in the Treasure Island arc. Each technology will be particularly important in future adventures, so be sure to check it out.
Science Ship Perseus
First up is the science ship Perseus, acquired at the end of the Shipbuilding Arc. Needless to say, the Perseus has become an essential means of transportation for Senku and his friends on their adventures, so we can expect it to play a major role in the future.
Pistol
During his battle with Ibara, Senku also invented a pistol. During his battle with the Tsukasa Empire, he only used fake guns to intimidate his opponents, but now he has finally succeeded in producing a real pistol. Since pistols are humanity's ultimate means of attack, acquiring this gun will greatly contribute to the expansion of the Kingdom of Science's military power.
Drone
Following the pistol, Senku also invents a drone during his fight with Ibara. Drones are cutting-edge technology that have only recently been put to practical use in our world, so it's surprising to see them appear at this time. Drones are extremely useful for exploring areas that humans cannot reach, and they may even contribute to the discovery of new resources in the future.
Petrification Device
But perhaps the greatest discovery of all is this petrification device. Its various uses, including as a medical device capable of healing any injury and as a weapon capable of instantly petrifying targets, have been confirmed, making it the most cutting-edge weapon currently wielded by Senku and his crew.
Summary
So, what did you think? This was a brief overview of the Treasure Island arc, which will be depicted in the third season of the anime. The Treasure Island arc reveals a wealth of information about the petrification phenomenon, which has long been a mystery, making this episode one that will help us uncover the greatest mystery of the series. There's no doubt that this is a very important episode for fans of the series, so be sure to check it out.
