The third episode of Dr. Stone marks a pivotal moment in Senku Ishigami's daring expedition. After a long and challenging journey, the team finally reaches the shores of America. However, their mission is far from over.
As they step into unfamiliar territory, new mysteries and obstacles arise, challenging the group's resilience and ingenuity. Will this stage bring them closer to unraveling the enigma of the world's petrification?
Recapping Episode 2
The previous episode begins with a flashback where Senku explains how they brewed beer to sustain the crew during their 70-day voyage to America. While some enjoyed themselves in the makeshift casino and sampled alcoholic beverages, Senku emphasized the importance of keeping some crew members sober.
Ryusei Nanami, on the other hand, insisted that everyone participate in the moment. He asked Francois to prepare non-alcoholic drinks, ensuring that no one was left out. Together with the scientific team, Francois created special cocktails for Suika, Tsukasa Shishio, Gen Asagiri, Kohaku, and Senku himself.

After the fun, Tsukasa organized training for the ship's combatants and decided to unpetrify Hyoga, an old enemy, believing he could contribute. Hyoga agreed, provided that Homura Momiji and Moz were also freed.
During training, Senku detailed how they used GPS to navigate to America. A transmitter on their home island in Japan sent signals to the ship, allowing them to calculate their location based on the time difference and the sun's altitude.
However, a storm made it difficult to see the sun, complicating navigation. Chrome then remembered the Viking "sunstone" and created his own version using calcite, a mineral that splits light like a prism.
