Can't wait to see what's in store for the Mediterranean. Feels like it's going to be a WHY MAN specific arc.

Why-Man might be trying to protect humanity from an external threat to specifically technological life, in the manner of Inhibitors/Reapers/Antispirals, or some similar dark forest scenario. But those usually also have a quasi-benevolent explanation so I think Why-Man just being such a system itself is more likely. I also think it's interesting how limited they are, like they haven't just loaded a new medusa batch on a rocket and launched it at Earth, nor have they attempted to communicate intelligently or even send particularly coherent statements. So possibly they aren't the proper operator of whatever monolith farm is on the moon and instead are a partial AI swinging wildly with technology they don't understand or something like that.

We're also left to wonder why it rained medusas on treasure island. I don't think they had any advanced tech, so why did the Why Man attack them? Does it have other conditions for attack?

Fun Fact about this week's Dr Stone: Olive trees are some of the most long-lived trees on Earth! Some still living today may be thousands of years old, and they still bear fruit, such as the Olive Tree of Vouves. So the trees they harvest in this week's chapter are quite possibly trees from our time.

Imagine being a Spanish person whose last memory was a wall of light before everything went black, and you wake up rear end naked in some post-apocalyptic forest being watched over by some Japanese teenagers dressed in furs and skins and they point to a table in the middle of a clearing full of vague approximations of your regional dishes.

"Why Why Why" + "Do you wanna die" => "Why do you wanna die?" Also buying into the misguided protector theory.

Better yet. They have to turn back because the Evergiven is still lodged in there under the tree dam. edit: I'd kill for an edit where the smoke from the explosion clears dbz style revealing the unblemished stern of the Evergiven. Lamebot fucked around with this message at 03:34 on Jul 5, 2021 |

The thing about Science is that it is basically impossible to have science as a thing without creating weapons either intentionally or unintentionally, especially if you're making a loving space rocket. There a ton of things in the basic concept that can be weaponized fairly easily. Trying to avoid dealing with the fact that the creation of weaponry is an inevitable biproduct of scientific discovery isn't really possible. "Science can also be very dangerous" is also part of the series but the major key is that the dangerous things are a stepping stone on the road to positive things and not their end goal. At the end of the day trying to pretend something doesn't exist because it could have dangerous consequences just isn't Senku's style because he acknowledges all parts of science as a creative force.

The Kzinti lesson from Larry Niven: "a reaction drive's efficiency as a weapon is in direct proportion to its efficiency as a drive." It's a great take on the dual practicality/lethality of tech.

One of the things I always enjoy about this manga is it's sheer pacing. Like this problem. Problem found, immediately solved with a little science. Yet at the same time I miss some of the earlier wonder. Mulderman posted:But Senku is the science user of light! You know, the usual. Shooting babies into space to determine the amount of thrust we can survive.

The fact that they skip over things like "Wouldn't it take something like 2-3 years for a crew of 10 people to build a ship like you have considering you have to start by literally mining ore" by handwaving that they have an old dude that builds poo poo in a matter of days.

I don't really mind glossing over the long boring parts of constructing stuff (and the manga actually does a pretty good job of depicting the passage of time via moon phases etc), but I wish they wouldn't also gloss over the cool science explanations or the descriptions of how difficult this particular technological breakthrough is to actually achieve. Compare the chapters where Senku synthesized the sulfa drug or made the power station to the recent chapters. That said a lot of the cool science stuff is still happening in the panels, you just have to pay careful attention, like how Ryusui takes over controlling the missile while on the hot-air balloon because their radar range is still limited and that'll be an issue they'll need to fix in the future if they want to be able to communicate with the rocket.

I'm kinda here. I like the manga in its current form, but I think I enjoyed it more when it really emphasized exactly how complicated and involved a lot of science that is simply taken for granted now actually is. Senku going through an incredibly long, multi-step process that requires him to jump through a ton of hoops and enlist the help of a bunch of people to accomplish seemingly basic things like "make an incredibly lovely electrical generator" made the whole thing feel like a big gushing love letter to science in a way that "Kaseki cobbles together a rocket in 5 panels" doesn't really. Suika's trials were the first bit that recaptured that feel in a while for me.

This manga is probably my most dense PAY ATTENTION TO EVERY PANEL manga I've ever read. There's usually so much detail in them with call backs and tiny explanations like Ryusui controlling the missile. Kanos posted:I'm kinda here.

Same. That's exactly what I meant to say. Is it good? Hell yeah. And I really appreciate that this manga doesn't do padding. But I just miss that earlier bit of discovery.
