Synopsis
More than 3,700 years after a mysterious phenomenon petrifies humanity, scientific prodigy Senku Ishigami awakens in a wilderness where civilization has vanished. Determined to restore every petrified person, Senku begins rebuilding technology from first principles alongside his steadfast friend Taiju Oki and Taiju’s classmate Yuzuriha Ogawa.
The season adapts the manga’s opening Stone World storyline, following Senku’s ideological conflict with powerful survivor Tsukasa Shishio and his efforts to establish a Kingdom of Science. His journey eventually brings him into contact with Kohaku, Chrome, and a community whose survival depends on practical knowledge. The series is notable for turning real scientific principles, experimentation, and technological development into the foundations of a post-apocalyptic adventure.
