Dr. Stone 23
SCORE: 74
Things are starting to pick up in Dr.
Stone 23. There are some major scientific advancements in this manga
book. The world is becoming less and less stone as inventions are
brought back. The war from the previous manga book is completed. The
Japanese kingdom of science won and start reviving their own people. It
took Suika seven years to do it but she did it. There will be spoilers
in this review.
Dr. Xeno decides to join Senku since he lost the war. Senku revives Dr.
Xeno and they begin working on a rocket ship. The first step is to make
some stainless steel and then super alloys. They make some toxic gas to
get them there. Jet engines are created in Dr. Stone 23. This upgrades
their boat to get across the ocean faster. Different teams are going
across the world to different locations to acquire what they need. For
example Senku and his team head off to Spain for some fluorite. Another
team stays on the island making super alloys. The third team heads back
to America to get corn city working again.
The issues families can have with Dr. Stone 23 are lack of attire,
enticement to lust, violence, and more. The petrification process can
even bring back the recently deceased in Dr. Stone 23. There is some
moral discussion on that as well as having an elderly population that
never dies. That would pose some problems on the planet. Why Man on the
moon sends a new message asking them if they want to die. There are some
strange things about Why Man that are not making sense to me personally.
How is he around all of this time all of these years later?
We meet Sai Nanami near the end of Dr. Stone 23. Sai is the brother of
Ryusui. They found Sai in India for the purpose of assisting them with
calculations needed to get to and from the moon. Sai is a programmer and
he writes the code for Dragon Quest on the floor and walls of his room.
Senku decides they will work on a computer for Sai. I am not sure how
they are going to craft a computer with their current resources. It
might be big and clunky like the first computers that were made in our
world. Dr. Stone 23 is really tame on the violent content and really
focuses on getting progress toward the rocket. I appreciate that
personally.
