Introduction: What's the Story?
Senku Ishigami, a young science student with an incredible mind, and Taiki Oki, a man of confident physical strength and straightforward personality, are best friends. Taiki has a crush on a childhood friend and is about to confess his feelings to her. However, the next moment, the sky is covered in a dazzling light, and a mysterious phenomenon occurs in which all of humanity is "petrified." Approximately 3,700 years later, in the "Stone World," a world where all civilization has disappeared, Senku and Taiki are freed from stone and reunite, vowing to rebuild civilization from scratch. Let's take a look back at the plot of the second season!
Synopsis 1: Towards the Collapse of the Tsukasa Empire
On the day the cell phone was successfully completed, Senku discovered a glass record left behind by his father, Byakuya. The record contained Lillian's singing voice. Upon hearing the voice, Gen planned to use his vocal imitation skills to spread false information to the people of the Tsukasa Empire, giving them false hope and bringing down the empire. Senku agreed with the plan, and Gen and his group decided to deliver the cell phone to Taiju and Kabane. At the same time, Senku launched a diversionary tactic against Homura, Hyougetsu's subordinate who was watching the village. Using a diversion combined with Morse code phone calls, they capture Homura, and Chrome, who is accompanying Gen, successfully buries Senku's cell phone in Taiju's "grave." However, when the enemy, Ukyo, detects the sound of cracking bedrock while digging, Gen escapes alone. While they later recruit a man named Nicky, Chrome is captured.
Synopsis 2: Chrome's Escape
Senku builds a steam car to transport supplies. He modifies it into a car wash to prepare for an assault on Chrome's prison cell. However, Tsukasa was also quite a sharp-witted man, and had read Senku and the others' plan and set a trap. Chrome noticed the trap and took advantage of the guard's absence to create sodium hypochlorite using items around him, which allowed him to break out of the prison and successfully escape. He also agreed to cooperate with Ukyo on the condition that no fatalities were caused.
Synopsis 3: The Final Battle with Tsukasa
Tsukasa and Hyougetsu appear before Senku and his friends, and the final battle finally begins. Tsukasa and Hyougetsu are overwhelmingly powerful, but while Kohaku and the others bid time, Senku and his friends compound nitroglycerin and create dynamite. With the dynamite in hand, Senku and his friends are able to use it to negotiate on equal terms with Tsukasa. Senku, who suspects that Tsukasa's reason for fighting as a martial artist before the collapse of civilization was to earn money for his sick sister's life-prolonging treatment, convinces Tsukasa to agree to a ceasefire, suggesting that he might be able to save Future by resolving the petrification phenomenon. Senku succeeds in waking Future by spraying him with a revival fluid, but Hyotsuki, revealing his true nature, stabs Tsukasa in the left chest with a spear. Senku and Tsukasa create a stun gun to stop Hyotsuki and defeat him. The war ends, and Senku resolves to fully unravel the mystery of the petrification phenomenon.
Summary of Season 2
Season 2 focuses on the battle with Tsukasa. Tsukasa ultimately agrees to a ceasefire and is able to free Tsukasa's sister from petrification. However, he is seriously injured due to the betrayal of his own family. What will happen in Season 3? Will Tsukasa be able to recover? The story will continue in Season 3! That's all for today.
