In order to get to South America, do you think they'll sail along the coast or sail directly there?

Well it's been 3000 years and the effects of irreversible anthropogenic climate change may have changed ocean currents?
Anyways Senku being the way he is is probably going to just great circle navigate his way to south America.

I'm pretty sure turning literally every human on the planet to stone for 3000 years would be one of the few sure-fire ways to achieve negative carbon emission.

By some measures the damage is already done and theres nothing we can do except delay it by reducing emissions.
But my line of thought is more on the line that it's an interesting wrench to throw into senku's plans. He anticipates riding the transpacific currents and they just plain dont exist anymore, which leads him into being unsure of what the climate and geography will even be once they get to south America, as well as a little cautionary to remind everyone the costs of technology.

Realistically, following the coast is the far safer route because they can stop periodically to replenish supplies. Also it allows for side adventures in the Americas which would be better narratively than either skipping the entire voyage in a chapter or having x amount of chapters at sea. The only thing compelling them to just great circle sail across the ocean which is infinitely more dangerous would be a time limiter based on the expected operational time of the fridge.

Until you've built The Great Lighthouse or researched Mapmaking you have to stay within three tiles of the shore or risk getting lost at sea and destroyed.

Wait how are they gonna plot a course across the ocean without an accurate map in the first place? Definitely coast hugging unless they just happen to find one preserved somewhere.

Senku specifically asked the journalist to find a sea captain so that someone else can handle questions like "how do i boat". Given how everyone who gets de-petrified is also a master at their chosen craft it'll probably be someone who can just navigate by watching the stars or something.

On that note, the archer was an officer in a submarine, right? I wonder if he gets to be part of the ship's crew, someone who already has some form of sea-faring experience seems like an obvious character to focus on in a sea-faring arc.

they are going to south america, so they have to leave the coasts at some point. there's the bering strait, but that has its own set of difficulties.

Yep, all our models more our less assume people around and trees and greenery not growing everywhere. 3000 is also more than enough for in some cases 5-6 cycles of tree's going through their entire life cycle and in boggy areas (ie peat) 100 years of no human interference is enough for them to heal and those places are among the best carbon sinks on the planet.

Pretty much. 3000 years of 0 humans is a complete reset button for most things- poo poo, just a couple hundred years would probably be. The only things that would probably still be gone would be any large fauna we placed in the position of needing direct human intervention via breeding programs to save so sadly we'd wake up to a world that probably didn't have most species of Rhino, Elephants, etc. Unless by some miracle breeding populations managed to form by sheer happenstance. The ocean would be in real good shape too- I'd think most species of whale would repopulate provided they survive 2-3 generations of basically being seafaring toxic waste (Orcas and many other whales are so loaded with toxins and chemicals from pollution due to their blubber retaining it that their corpses are quite literally considered toxic waste when they wash up. It's flat out unsafe to process them).

She appeared briefly either right before or during the battle for the Cave of Miracles, and all she did there was fawn over Tsukasa for a bit. There was nothing really noteworthy about her debut; I reread the Stone War arc just to find who Senkuu meant by "that girl with the shells" when making "pointless conversation" with Tsukasa since I didn't remember noticing anybody like that when that arc was going on.

It seems like people with very strong minds or egos are able to resist the sleep-like effect of being petrified, like Senku and Taiju did.

Nothing will ever top Tsukasa "What's the situation?" *kicks a lion to death* Shishio for over-the-top un-stoning entrances, but drat that guy is a firecracker. I like that he's just a greedy and overbearing arrogant bastard too, not just an rear end in a top hat as I feared when shell-head introduced him as a rich spoiled brat with a boat.

He probably didn't know how long he was petrified for other than a while, but also he is fairly ego-centric combined with actually utilizing a fully sail driven vessel to navigate the world which requires a tough and flexible mind or you straight die because the ocean is a mother.

:science: Strictly speaking that's a scientific inaccuracy; ice can be below 0, and the freezer presumably is. You have to dip the thermometer in melting ice for this to work.
