Awesome / Dr. STONE reboot: Byakuya

Go To

  • Chapter 1: Byakuya and Senku manage to create a zero-gravity flying robot with a self-reliant A.I. With nothing but their own limited resources.
  • Chapter 2: The way the astronauts put their minds together, and work to calculate their trajectory in order to land in Japan, which, according to the manga (and the story's scientific advisor) is the equivalent of "tossing a quail egg from Mount Fuji into a specific school yard".
  • Chapter 4: Byakuya refusing to give up on his fellow astronauts and heading down to earth immediately. We all know he arrived there on time!
  • Chapter 5: Rei is made of awesome. In its quest to keep the ISS in orbit, it manages to achieve Goal-Oriented Evolution. It upgrades the ISS, comes up with ways to turn astronaut food into rocket fuel, and, when that runs out, builds a hydrogen-fuel rocket engine powered by ice and water.
  • Chapter 6: Rei makes a spaceship using the left-over space-suits and uses it to retrieve a piece of a comet in order to use for fuel and resources. And when it figures out that the sun's rays are degrading its circuitry, it uses the computers in the ISS to upgrade itself!
  • Chapter 7: Rei picks up the satellites and space stations left over by the rest of humanity in order to get parts for fixing the ISS. And then it upgrades itself even more.
  • Chapter 8, Rei witnesses a meteor strike Italy eradicating it off the map and killing all life in Europe ("all of Europe turned gray" as it put it). The little robot sets up a radar that detects meteors and finds out that an even bigger meteor is set to strike Japan in 500 years effectively destroying all life on the planet. After trying so hard to keep the ISS in orbit, it dismantles it, along with every piece of metal it had gathered all these years and makes enough hydrogen bombs to veer the meteor off track and protect Byakuya and the rest of humanity on earth. All by itself!
  • Chapter 9. Knowing its end is near, Rei modifies the remains of the ISS into a giant 3D-Printer and creates a Body Backup Drive for itself and the ISS (made out of Physical Drives, capable of lasting millions of years). 150 years later, Rei is revived as a Robot Girl inside a new and improved ISS that looks more like a giant city than a simple and fragile space station.
