Weren't we supposed to be building a drone...? How did we get so sidetracked? I assume the series is gonna take another turn after they get the platinum, or they're going to lose it soon after getting it. Otherwise the combination of "Revive anyone you want" and "gunpowder weapons for everyone" is going to really cut into the core conceit of the series.

Kanos posted:They did build a drone. That's what those remote control rats are. No, the RC cars were a test. They’re building a flying drone to steal the petrification grenades outta the air. Patware posted:you mean 'progressing technology as fast as possible'? because securing infinite revival and gunpowder weapons are really explicitly a part of the core conceit of the series I think the core conceit is finding scientific solutions to real-world problems. That’s hindered if the solution to every problem becomes “shoot it” or “find someone with the answer”.

Kohaku with a gun is going to be able to handle pretty much anything short of an alien invasion. Doubly so if they go back to base to pick up Tsukasa. Which they kinda maybe should.

If we have nitric acid and sulfuric acid, couldn't we just make TNT or dynamite and wrap this arc up with a bang? I'm kinda unenthused at the idea of building a drone.

I predicted this from the moment Kohaku was found out. It gives them an excuse to let Hyouga out of his doghouse and back into the story. Spearman vs. Spearman.

I like that Senku doesn’t really have much insight into weapons’ technology. A shotgun would have been easier to make and way more practical, but he went for the over-complicated revolver because it was cooler and involved more SCIENCE.

rannum posted:I liked that no one was especially happy about senku making a gun. I mean they're a bunch of teenagers, you'd expect as much, but it was still nice to see. Senku's comment on how they made it 3 years without making one was also a nice bit of melancholy Somewhat undercut by the immediate “Guns are non-lethal if we petrify them afterwards!”

Senku "Gonna count the seconds for two months just in case a perfect internal chronometer will help advance my scientific career" Ishigami. A lot of what Senku does is just applied knowledge and basic problem solving, so it's cool to see actual Big Brain poo poo from him. Like in the latest chapter where he calculated, not predicted, the endpoint of Kirisame's throw in based on launch angle and velocity and concluded that she was including her allies in the blast radius. Ryusui intuited it, but Senku knew it.

amigolupus posted:I'll be following the spin-off. I guess my only reservation about this is that Byakuya's story was pretty much done in Dr. Stone so I don't know this spin-off can even add anything new to it. Maybe it'll explain how entire villages full of people exist in the current series when supposedly only six people avoided getting stoned. The inbreeding would have been a bitch no matter how optimal they were about it.

There’s three thousand years of history between Byakuya and Senku. I’m sure the spinoff will find something to pass the time.

AtomikKrab posted:Inbreeding is not uncommon amongst animal populations, it only really mattered in the context of nobility and royalty because you had generations screwing each other so the father of someones child might have also been their grandfather, and great grandfather etc. I mentioned inbreeding but in practice, I think infant mortality, disease, and natural disasters would be a bigger problem. You just couldn't hope to stay above replacement level with a starting population of six, even assuming the inbreeding depression was relatively mild and all of them were cool with loving like rabbits. It's more likely there was a second group that avoided petrification. Maybe by being underwater?

With the latest chapter, I'm now wondering whether the Byakuya spinoff is a prequel or a "what-if". They have a robot that is also a supercomputer to reduce the margin of error for landing the Soyuz down from 10km, which they didn't have in the original flashback chapters. The robot is a real dumb deus ex machina btw.

Blockhouse posted:The prequel is making me very happy Boichi isn't writing the main series, at least It does feel like he doesn’t quite get what makes Dr. Stone fun. If it was a Dr. Stone chapter, we would be starting the “build a computer to calculate atmospheric drag” arc instead of having a robot that can magically do it. That bit with Byakuya admitting he just wants to see his son again was pretty good though, and makes me think his strengths just lie elsewhere.

Kerning Chameleon posted:Probably to setup the ISS beating the odds, crashing towards land, and the robot somehow surviving just enough for Senku and co to find and repair him much later. The ISS is intentionally designed to burn up on re-entry so people don't have pieces falling on their head. That's how space stations get "retired". I mean, even if he miraculously survives, the last page suggests that they themselves believed they left the robot there to die. Right after the big "we'll never abandon our friends!" speech. What the gently caress.

amigolupus posted:Something about the way the spin-off handles being a set-up to Dr. Stone bothers me. Byakuya derails the team's plan to land in their original landing point where they could get access to technology and supplies to figure out the petrification just so he can try and save Senku. I know Senku would be a huge help but its weird that the others didn't put up that much of a fight over it. No one really brings up that they all have family members they're worried about as well and that Byakuya's insistence that they need to get to Senku is rather selfish. It was actually the Russian guy who pointed out that Baikonur is in the middle of an isolated hellscape. They could probably land safely, but then they'd have to march overland through the desert steppes to reach the base. Not good odds.

Blockhouse posted:everything about the robot is so goddamn stupid and this is coming from someone who, by default, loves robots That's probably the meta-reason why they're ditching him. The writers just needed a deus ex machina to explain how they managed to land the Soyuz close enough to where they needed to go.

Maybe someone should who plays Kerbal Space Program can fill us in on how long this journey to the moon will take. I’m also curious how hard a hydrogen engine is to whip up, since they just handwaved it instead of showing Rei building it like the regular series. I was expecting Rei to just drain the necessary fuel from orbital satellites a la World War Z.

RatHat posted:Their jank rear end handgun still working after falling into water is the most unrealistic thing yet. It's actually fairly plausible based on their original design. They sealed each barrel pretty tightly with wadding and a bullet, and they're using percussion caps. Also, the way a turret revolver works means that there's always one chamber pointed straight back towards the shooter, flush with the frame. If it was sealed tightly enough that water couldn't get in, you could definitely have at least one dry bullet remaining. Besides being unwieldy to operate and reload, the biggest reason the turret revolver never caught on was that it had a tendency for all of the barrels to fire simultaneously. The biggest danger was always Yo blowing his own hand up.

Kerning Chameleon posted:I'm not actually fine with Aquaman Taiju. Considering all what they had to go through with the scuba gear before that, it smacks of "poo poo, wrote myself into a corner, SUPERHUMAN STAMINA == SUPERHUMAN LUNG CAPACITY AND CRUSH RESISTANCE TIME" to me. I genuinely consider that more unrealistic that literally anything Tsukasa ever did. It was consistent with how he's been portrayed at least. Taiju is a freak of nature on par with Tsukasa. Dr. Stone kinda reminds me of Eyeshield 21, in that it manages to at least maintain a sense of realism even when the characters' abilities are way beyond what they should realistically be capable of. If it's written as "here's what physical freaks are capable of in this universe", and its consistent, I can suspend my disbelief. Blockhouse posted:I'm enjoying the main series as much as I'm not enjoying the prequel I think its pretty obvious now that Rei is going to be the WHY-man. The reason the WHY's stopped was the orbit of the ISS taking him out of range. The WHY was probably "We Hear You" after all. Also why the gently caress are we still following this goddamn robot. Why didn't they take him back to earth. He runs off solar power, they had literally zero excuse. He could probably have helped them build a sicknasty boat to reach the mainland with.

Rei is almost certainly the why-man if only because who else is realistically willing and able to intercept short-range radio signals in the Tokyo area? The reason the signal cut out is presumably that the ISS went out of range. The only good part of the last spinoff chapter was Chrome figuring out the pattern of the "bright star", even if he couldn't read the message. Smart kid.

I really don't think wearing armor would protect you much from being hit by a car, but sure, lets roll with it. I like that he's a quick thinker. Still though, imagine how quickly this arc would have ended if we'd spent all that time building guns instead of a remote-controlled drone.
