Woah, final stop already?! Man...I didn't think Dr. Stone was going to be THIS short after Treasure Island. I guess making the rocket and potentially complications with society/number of people increasing, but this seems a bit incomplete compared to what was foreshadowed.
Bochi definitely updated parts of his "evil Senku" look, but perfect planning with the timing of the travelling and the souvenir to bring back. I guess the goal was to keep everyone except Suika around the same age.
The automated rice planter is a genius design. I assume there is something very similar in real life.
Hmmm...I'm blanking on where Senku lived as a high schooler, but if it isn't Tokyo, then there's something to the short reminiscence of Tokyo and Byakuya.
But the entire world tour only taking one arc essentially...hmmm. Things are technically still not being transported between locations so the visual is not accurate of world trading/world supply chains so I guess there could be complications with the team in Japan.
But I wonder if the mentioned chemical is what makes Japanese rice sweet. Mochi rice is a whole different flavor, but the flavor or rice has definitely changed 10-15 years ago.>
As a rice-lover I loved this rice-filled chapter.
I hope they export the fancy stuff out to where you are.
