Dr stone has never been a character-focused story which is tragic to me BUT not really the point here; I won’t look for burritos in a pizza store or whatever the metaphor was. And despite not being much character-focused, it has always been a very soulful, emotional and philosophical story. Humanity-focused you could say. With many moments like described above (like idk, nikki and her music, minami (the journalist) and her camera, everything about byakuya, the christmas tree, and many contemplative moments tied to an invention getting completed).

I once described (s1 (even 2) of) dr stone as feeling like it is overflowing with love for the world and humanity and taking any opportunity to express this so sincerely, but I wouldn’t be able to say that about the show as it is now. It still has it!! And has moments like that!! (like xeno’s joining the KOS in his heart before getting petrified, suika’s 7 years ofc…., or everyone voting in favor of the round trip) but definitely misses and underuses opportunities. But still I feel like if the writing of s1 dr stone were applied to s4 it could have sneaked in more, for the better. With idk, chelsea, joel, brody, even the 2 luna goons. And literally anything, it doesn’t have to be tied to a specific character, like the ‘everyone voting in favor of the round trip’ example.

i understand how some characters are more superficial or trope-y at this point in the anime if their characters have already been previously explored, and it's not like the show has given up on looking at the backstories and deeper emotions of the cast (take Sai and Ryusui's episode, for example), but it feels like there is more that could be gotten into. i loved when Senku .. like .. seemed more human?! i loved the moments when he was scared, or happier than usual, or quiet and thoughtful. now he's kind of been reduced toooo the guy that brings progress forward. and i feel like Gen has so much potential for a character arc!!!! am i the only one thinking about this? lol

hi of course

i love this stupid trend and enstars so obviously i will crosspost this here as well

He’s probably aromantic

He’s older than Xie Lian by maybe 5 years maybe 100s it’s really vague

He is constantly following his dick into places I wouldn’t go with a gun

He isn’t actually antagonistic to Xie Lian at all despite all the behind the scenes manipulation trying to make that happen

Him and Xie Lian share custody of a 250 year old war criminal

He’s the text book example of why “I was just following orders” is really fucking bad

He has an incredibly strong sense of justice

He’s best friends with the most evil woman and second most evil man in heaven for most of the novel

He’s genuinely a good person

He’s so charismatic his best friend/situation-ship tried to make him king without asking him

He’s so distraught about what happened with The Rain Master he runs away from her for +800 years of existence

He’s a slut

He’s a Hualian shipper

Despite being probably the third strongest Martial God in the series he spends all of Mount Tonglu with a broken elbow and being comic relief

He genuinely believes he and Hua Cheng are buds

He somehow didn’t have any children so instead he tries to trust fund kid his 17 times great grand nephew who was raised by the most humble man ever and can’t work out why the kid won’t let him buy his way out of jail

He wants to talk to Xie Lian about his sex life

He spends most of the last book being depressed that one of his best friends is dead and another is on the run

People pray to him for long lasting relationships

A yandre ghost is trying to kill him

Jun Wu was actively running a smear campaign against him the entire time

He was part of the magical girl sword

He’s the slut of the heavens

He is both so tried and living by the motto fuck it we ball

He’s the only other man Xie Lian finds handsome

He was the first person to realise E’Ming was a boner metaphor

He’s scared of the bull man who hates him

He is probably going to be the next heavenly emperor since Xie Lian doesn’t want that shit

He’s the only martial god who genuinely likes and respects Ling Wen until Xie Lian shows up

sai: Finally, a break At least now I can finally get back to my world in Tomodachi Life… Just for a bit

sai: Come on, Sai… you can totally make Gen fall for you! (This is gonna go perfectly…)

senku:"Hey, Sai, what are you doing?" sai: ...

Sai: SENKU?!! *turns the computer around* senku: They’re calling you. Some important meeting or something—ask Ryusui (He just wants to play chess) sai: W-wait… I need to fix this first-

senku: I’ll handle it sai: but... senku: go

senku: Let’s take a look… sai: This is a disaster

senku: So a social simulation with variables like affinity, interaction, and conditional events. It’s basically a system of cause and effect What is Gen doing here? This should be simple…

senku: There has to be a flaw in the system’s logic… Something isn’t lining up

senku :I'm taking it for some fine-tuning

Had an idea for dr. stone youtube au hehe

I feel like senku would hate on gens asmr and eventually watch a video and actually find it relaxing

Also in this universe ryusui makes mr beast-esque content I’m afraid.
