They went all out with the science work in this one. A little bit too fast pacing for my liking and would've prefer to watch this as a full movie. Ryuusui has a similar personality with Senku but an arrogant one and full of himself. This was a great bridge and also acts as kind of a prologue for the next season.

so... they re-created the "Money" system again...

Money is crap really... it's the literal bases of Greed and Slavery.

As once money is there, the "rich" can control the "poor". (just like how Gen showed us that by using monetary value, he controls others to work)

Especially since the world has been living for 3000 years without any monetary system, people helped each other to live and survive.

I also do hope they won't really end up with this Money thing next season.

___ ___ ___

And LOL, Yuzuriha asked for a simple Loom, and Senkuu build her a manual machine.

But it still takes quite a while.

Meanwhile... Gen is bribing the muscle-brains to work.

And apparently to make more "money"... they had Yuzuriha make "modern styled Fashion Show" to sell... Yuzuriha's pretty happy to make all these cloth tho, cause this was her Hobby from before.

___ ___ ___

And they finally build the Blimp.

Chrome: "The world really is round", *angry Kkona noises in background*

And they face the danger of flying a Blimp, it's weak to wind directions since non-propelled Blimps can't go against the wind.

And it's a miracle that Senkuu held on without any strap... dude would have died.

I haven't watched Dr.Stone in a while, so I might be misremembering things, but I didn't like this special much at all. First of all, the idea that they are sailing to "the other side of the world" to find the source makes 0 sense. They have absolutely no clue where that beam originated. What, they will search all of the Americas "street by street, neighborhood by neighborhood" like Gaddafi's infamous declaration? lol. Not to mention that the travel plan picture showed they intend to go to Chile. You'd think they would at least go to the US as it is the most likely source.

There were other things too. I didn't like the idea of money returning and inequality rearing its ugly head again with the full support of everyone, or how Senku remained hanging from the air balloon for who knows how long without anyone pulling him just to make a stupid joke, or how other than that they were never afraid of falling off the air balloon.

I hope Season 3 will be better and the logic of this trip will be explained (unless it has been explained already and I forgot).

54 minutes of pure science and crafting without any of the cliche shounen bs the two previous seasons had? Best Dr. Stone entry ever!
Seriously, really liked this Special. Seeing Yuzuriha becoming an important part of the inventions was great and the emotion Chrome felt during his first time flight almost got me.

This is Dr Stone at it's best. Season 1 was full on science based, season 2 traded that science for action, this was a return to the largely scientific explanations of season 1 but it retained the excitement of season 2. Oddly enough, I never heard of this even though this was the bridge from season 2 to 3. I found this just by chance while looking at the page for season 3. That explains why I felt the first episode was "missing something" ah well, shit happens. 

Ryusei ftw, he has that larger than life persona that meshes perfectly well with Senku, Chrome and Gen

i was entertained. significantly better than season 2 (even though this was only 2 "episodes" in length lol), which was a major disappointment imo

only thing i didn't care for was the thunderstorm air balloon scene. the top of a cumulonimbus cloud is way outside the oxygen/air pressure levels that humans can survive

aside from that, all the sciencey stuff was great (thread/cloth/loom, money, searching for oil, hot air balloon - aside from the thunderstorm haha, etc)

and props to that guy for his drawing of a boat. that was a really great idea, actually. the new sailor guy is pretty compelling

7/10. honestly probably would've been 8/10 if not for that "great escape" hot air balloon

Damn so many things happened in this episode! building a ship, establishing currency, making hot air balloon, opening a department store.. I was enjoying every moment of it that I didn't notice that this was actually 50+ mins long!

Everytime this series makes me appreciate the modern world, I can't help but feeling a liiiittle bit teary-eyed.

Also this version of Good Morning World definitely gives me goosebumps!

Somehow I missed this one- only found out when I was ready to start season 3. So I paused the new season to watch Ryuusui and boy, I'm glad I did! In addition to it's importance to the overall story it felt like I was back in season 1. That is to say: back in the science discovery phase instead of the more story-oriented Stone Wars arc. Not that it was bad: I love all of the Dr. Stone seasons so far and they all rate 10/10 for me. The concept is just so great, and the execution is perfect every time. So excited to dive back into season 3!

wow it's been some time 'till i finally decided to watch this. good to be back in dr stone, i actually missed this anime.

ryuusui is crazy as senku lol, he actually made currency based on oil they hasn't found yet.
and yet, they did so much on this episode - started building the ship, made the air balloon, but they haven't achieved much. which made this special, little, erm, pointless?
well you can say that presenting ryuusui was the important part.

while i found here same pace issues s2 did have, in s2 it made some sense i believe, but here i found myself wishing this was more of 3 ova 20min episodes rather than long 50 minutes. i think it would give little more breath time.

either way, i really enjoyed it.

Tsukasa should hate Ryusui since he is the embodiment of capitalism and economic inequality because he is one of the elites or rich lol

i was worried Senku will lose his grip in the hot air balloon though but surprisingly Senku has a lot of grip strength

I don't see any point of selling science in exchange for money while you can just printing money. I mean if he (ryusei) want money then just print money to give him. there is no point of selling like clothes or joker card to get those useless paper (money). in the dr stone world I only consider silver gold diamon jewel is currency and worth its power.
also working in dr stone world is the most powerful currency.
@KinjiKido THATS LITERALLY WHAT I THOUGHT. Like can’t they just secretly make
More money. It’s literally just ordinary paper it has no value

This movie Gen shone through the most with his play reenactment of Senku to influence the brawny survivors to join Senku's side, The ship building competition to get the 2 scheming survivors on board with the plan, finding a captain for the ship, bringing in the drago money to influence working culture among the community, buy the rumors sell the news tactics to influence the wealthy to work and sustain the drago money's value, the competition for who could weave the longest thread which was also schemed by Gen to get the survivors to continue production of threads, the department store to create luxury goods at high price to make drago back for oil prices and more. Especially getting captain to work for free using the reverse pscyhology method and making him not win a spot on the hot air balloon. Such an interesting short movie though.
