Here are some scenes from the official promo video for the upcoming episode 32 of Dr. Stone Science Future, along with what they look like in the manga. I am really looking forward to this episode. Tomorrow can’t come soon enough!

Here are some preview images for episode 32 of the anime along with the manga scenes (chapters 215-216), they adapt. As you can see nearly all episodes of these look very similar to their manga counterparts. From what you can see here and the synopsis below, this upcoming episode will be very exhilarating!

“In an attempt to pinpoint Whyman's location on the moon, Senku and his friends begin crafting a satellite. The Kingdom of Science completes unmanned rockets, launch pads, and rocket engines one after another, but developing the launch rocket proves extremely difficult. However, Senku and Xeno continue to challenge space with unwavering determination, through trial and error! Meanwhile, Chrome and his group, who have been secretly exploring the possibility of a round-trip rocket, finally come up with a plan to return safely from the moon...”

I noticed that in the flashback at the beginning of episode 13 of Season 4, child Xeno is wearing pants that have white patches. Ones that are shaped conspicuously similar to the ones on the signature black (later white in the epilogue, extra chapter, and short spinoff) lab coats he wears in the present day as an adult. Apparently, the guy has been (and always will be) fond of that style for years. 

Ok in the upcoming Spade Kingdom Raid Arc of the anime we will also finally meet the last of the Eight Shining Generals of Diamond Kingdom, the beautiful but powerful Feremena! Which makes me wonder who will voice her in the English dub. Here are my three best guesses:

1. Elizabeth Maxwell (Arisa Uotani from Fruits Basket reboot and Albis from That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime): because this woman has voiced female warriors before so I can imagine her as Feremena.
2. Lexi Nieto (Tomo Aizawa from Tomo-Chan is a Girl, Child Dr. Xeno in Dr. Stone, and Cersei in The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King) this lady has also voiced touch girls (and young boys) so she would be a great choice.
3. Michelle Rojas (Shion in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Francois in Dr. Stone, and Cha Hae-in Solo Leveling): like Maxwell this lady has voiced her share of warrior women.

What do you Black Clover fans think? Do you agree with these guesses or do you think some other actress might be a better fit? Also, if you prefer the Japanese dub you can mention what VAs you think you might be perfect for voicing Feremena?

Here are some official manga scenes (chapter 215-217) we will see adapted in episode 32 (possibly 33) of the anime next Thursday! In this upcoming episode Senku reunites with Xeno, both the rocket and engine are ready, and they are doing the first official test launch! But will it be successful or a total disaster? As usual, there are going to be scenes that will make you laugh and certain others that will make you go “oh, come on!“So, get excited!

In both chapter 210 of the manga and episode 30 of season 4 of the anime, as Senku tells his allies that the rocket will be built in Japan, we see a fantasy of a modern looking rocket with the name Senku11. Surprisingly, the actual rocket that the three lucky astronauts (who are chosen in chapters 219 and 221) use to go to the moon in a later episode (and chapter 223) is in fact labeled Senku11! I wonder if the artist did that as a sort of teaser for the actual rocket launch or this was just a coincidence? What do you Dr. Stone fans think? 

Here are some manga scenes (chapters 213-214) that have confirmed to be adapted in episode 31 tomorrow! This will be the first episode of the Moon Mission Arc!! Get excited everyone!!!!

Ok, the Spade Invasion Arc of Black Clover will be adapted in the anime. This means we will see Adramelech (who first appeared in chapter 317) and Lucius Zogratis (although he is not introduced until the end of the arc in chapter 331) brought to life. Which brings up the question, who will voice these two in the English dub? Here are my guesses:

For Adramelech (if they go for a male voice) I believe Todd Habberkorn (Natsu in Fairy Tail) or Drew Breedlove (Sai Nanami in Dr. Stone) might be good choices.

For Lucius, maybe John Burgmeier (Xeno in Dr. Stone and Shigure in Fruits Basket)? After all the dude has done villain characters before. Or they might have Julius’s English VA, Robert McCollum, play him. After all Lucius and Julius are twins and it would not be the first time the same actor voiced twin brothers in an anime. Plus, McCollum also has voiced villain characters (e.g., Donquixote Doflamingo in One Piece, Stain in MHA, and Stanley in Dr. Stone).

How about you Black Clover fans? Who do think would be the best English voices for these two upcoming characters?

In the final chapter of the manga, the extra chapter Terraforming, and the short sequel 4D Science, we see that Xeno has switched his black lab coat with a white one in the exact same style (minus the spiky collar) with a light blue necktie instead of purple. I think this new style (along with his partly healed petrification scars) represents him not being a villain anymore (which Ryusui points out in chapter 221), but rather both a member and a leading scientist (along with his former student Senku) of the kingdom of science.

Honestly in my opinion, he is better off as this than as a rocket scientist at NASA before the Petrification Event. This is because his scientific ideas and intellect are better appreciated by his colleagues (most especially Senku) and no one holds him back. 

Some few years before Season Four came out lots of Dr. Stone fans believed that Xeno was blonde and Stanley had white/silver hair and even made fanart showing this.

However, after official colored manga volume and chapter covers were released (followed by official character art for Season Four) it was revealed that Xeno has white hair and Stanley blonde.

To be honest, I think this was a great choice. White hair really fits the eccentric evil scientist character that Xeno played in part 1 and most of part 2 (plus it gives him a bit of similarity to Senku who also has a unique hair color) while Stanley’s golden locks give him a tall, blonde, and dangerous soldier vibe. What do you guys think?

I know the upcoming season of Black Clover will cover the Spade Kingdom Invasion Arc but I wonder if it will also cover the final arc. If it does (or they do another season adapting it) then I would love to see these parts animated (most especially Finral’s).

I am not sure you know this but in season 4 of Dr. Stone, Stanley Snyder is voiced by two different VAs in English. In part 1 and the first eight episodes of part 2 he is voiced by the well known Robert McCollum (who voiced Jellal Fernandes and Mystogan in Fairy Tail). However, in episodes 9-10 and 12 of part 2 he is voiced by Jeff Plunk (who voiced Gadjah in Black Clover). This makes him the fourth Dr. Stone character to have two English VAs, with Senku being the first (Aaron Dismuke in S1-4 and Matt Shipman in only one episode of S3), Kirisame second (Lindsey Seidel for S3-4 and Celeste Perez in three episodes of S3), and Hyoga third (Jerry Jewel in S1-3 and Kieran Flitton in S4).

Personally, I think McCollum played Stanley better than Plunk. Probably because the dude has played villain characters before. What do you guys think? Also, if Stanley makes a comeback in part 3 (which he probably will) do you think McCollum will return to voice him or do you think it will be Plunk again?

Here are some manga scenes (Chapters 213-215) you can expect to see adapted in the episode 31 (releasing May 14) and possibly 32 (streaming May 21) of part 3 of Dr. Stone Science Future! I am not going to lie there are going to be many scenes that will have you just stare and say, "What just happened?"

We will soon be in the Moon Mission Arc people, so "Get Excited!"

It’s Ruri and Kohaku peeking in on the four working scientists this time during the end credits because the KOS citizens (and those in Treasure Island) that stayed in Japan have now all been revived in today’s latest episode! 

Happy National Astronaut Day to Byakuya Ishigami and the other five ISS astronauts who survived the first Petrification Event (R.I.P.) and to the three astronauts who will be chosen for the upcoming confrontation on the moon with Why Man!

Happy National Astronaut Day to Byakuya Ishigami and the other five ISS astronauts who survived first Petrification Event (R.I.P.) and to the three astronauts who will be chosen for the upcoming confrontation on the moon with Why Man!

I just realized that the upcoming new episode of Dr. Stone season 4 will be the last one in the Globetrotting Arc. This means that starting with the episode after this new one we will officially be in the Moon Mission Arc.

Throughout it all, we will see Chrome and Suika working hard to come up with a two way rocket, the choosing of the three astronauts, the return of lots of familiar faces (especially one a lot of you are dying to see again), the liftoff to space, and the confrontation with the series overarching main antagonist (aka the mysterious Whyman). So, as Senku always says, "This is exhilarating. Get excited!"

The third cour opening of Dr. Stone’s fourth season opens by showing Senku and Xeno in standing the same position (face forward with a confident look and hands on hips) each at a different time of day (the former in the morning and the latter at night). This is obviously a reference to the names “Scientist of Darkness” and “Scientist of Light” that Xeno calls himself and Senku in episode 25.
