The Why-man is shocking indeed, but it needs to be to make them understand that they are not alone in the world, a hint for what's coming next. Timeline inconsistencies aside, this arc adds a very important piece of context. They finally fixed it with a date for when the Perseus was completed, September 10th 5741, almost 3 and a half years since Senku broke free from the petrification. Every character looks exactly the same, even the children. Time-skips kept succeeding without a real sense of how long has passed. At first the timeline was rather confusing. The purpose of these episodes was to explain how can a primitive civilization can build a boat capable of crossing the Pacific and what changes had to be made in order to survive in the sea for a long time. It's undeniable that it's not the greatest arc, but it's not supposed to be either. It marks the end of the Age of Exploration Arc after Senku announces to everyone's surprise that before the cross the Ocean they need to make a quick stop on Treasure Island, where the astronauts who survived the petrification landed and where the 100 tales began. The Kingdom of Science finally completed their ship, Perseus, and set sail. If they only exist as a labor based object they lose a sense of humanity, thus, making it harder to relate to them. This core issue inevitably affects the reception of the series. Even if they include a few classic over-emotive anime scenes for them. But taking the whole plot into consideration, the same can be said about almost everyone else. Earlier it was shown how Francois is pretty much a tool, just there to fulfill a need. Stone often displays to this kind of video games may be a way to acknowledge the character model used for the series. An argument can be made about how the inclusion of free time in this episode is just an accessory that goes back to disappearing when they can return to their usual roles. Stone characters are similar to how NPCs are depicted in construction and management simulation games. All they seem to care about is jumping from one invention to the next as alienated workers without real feelings or worries beyond completing a task. Stone seemed like a classic idea of capitalist progress without room for anything else. The first half of the episode shows them focusing on having fun, snowboarding and skiing, creating a chocolate supplement, celebrating Valentine's Day, making a photograph collection signed by its protagonists.ĭr. That creates a lot of time when they simply can't work due to climatic conditions among other things. Stone world, what happens when there is no immediate goal to pursue? The episode starts with the realization that the original boat design won't work, since the Why-man threat has changed their timelines and now they don't have unlimited time to make adjustments or fix what needs to be fixed.įrom that point on, the restart with a yacht based on Ryusui's design will take about a year, and like Senku points out in multiple occasions, some things can't be pushed. One of them is a rarely explored situation in the Dr. I'm excited in general to see where the story and choices go.Plenty of interesting details portrayed in this episode allow for a more thorough analysis. Yeah I didn't think about that when originally writing the suggestion lmao when I wrote that, I had just finished getting all of the achievements (at the time, since there's a few more now :D ) but yeah! That makes so much sense! It'll be exciting to see which traits give a perfect outcome. 2 Street Smart could talk these kids up in addition to Keen Eye (as Street Smart seem to be good at both actual observation (as miners scene #3 shows) and social observation (spotting lies, confronting people on their hidden feelings). I mean, I would be extremely happy if Talking to Animals in ep.1 could save Gretchen by calming her down (maybe with additional difficulty of selecting right talking options before so she trusts you), and if in ep. Powerful Build in ep 1, Keen Eye in ep 2), and I think this pattern will continue onward.Īs we can only have two traits, if this pattern is true, that save everybody ending isn't possible. The way it looks for me now, based upon 2 episodes, that only one trait per episode have a chance of 'perfect solution' (i.e. Originally posted by iren_ivy:I don't think it is possible.
