* Chapter 123: The titular BattleOfWits is a big one for Gen and showcases his abilities as TheSocialExpert of the group. He faces off Mozu, a massive BloodKnight who can kill him and his party in a few seconds. In just one chapter, through a combination of subtle sociological tricks, BlatantLies, HalfTruth, and plain old ReversePsychology, Gen manages to convince Mozu to give into his TheStarscream tendencies and strike a temporary truce with Senku in order to bring [[ArcVillain Minister Ibara]] down. And the best part is that Mozu is manipulated into thinking [[GladYouThoughtOfIt it was all his idea!]]

* Hell, anyone who stayed conscious and, most of all, ''sane'' for those 3700 years.
** Taiju stays conscious through the Stone Reckoning by just plain determination to tell Yuzuriha his feelings.
** Senku did it by counting each and every second. Counting all leap years, in total Senku counted 116,763,120,000 seconds!

** This chapter reveals how Senku survived Ibara using the Medusa weapon to petrify the entire island - the rest of the Kingdom of Science quickly organized themselves to stand equally-spaced in the path of the petrification beam (essentially turning themselves into a human chain measuring tape), allowing Senku to estimate its velocity and determine the exact moment to throw up a clay flask of revival fluid, which then landed back on him and counteracted his own impending petrification.

* Chapter 136: When Senku was throwing chemical bottles at Ibara, it's later revealed that it was a distraction so he could sneakily throw a bottle of revival fluid at Ryusui to revive him. Ryusui quickly figures out what's happening and went to retrieve a communication earring from the petrified Mozu to listen to Senku's directions and sends the drone into the air as Ibara throws the Medusa.

** The Persues crew is able to bring it down for their own use when Kirisame throws a flask of Acetylene Gas (made by Senku) towards its engine.

** Senku regaining enough strength thanks to Luna and Yuzuriha to join Ryusei in an aerial dog fight against Stanley

* Kohaku first shows her chops as TheBigGuy by taking on Tsukasa with nothing but her fists and a pair of knives. The fight doesn't reach a proper conclusion, as Tsukasa incapacitates her by pinning her down with a tree.

** For that battle, Senku did put an end to the Stone Age for the Ishigami village, and bought the Iron Age. For the battle, oficially graduated from being Doctor Stone, and became The IronMan!

* When Senkuu, Yuzuriha, and Taijuu's plan to inhibit Tsukasa is put into action. Sure, Yuzuriha and Taijuu think Senkuu got his neck snapped, but the teamwork these three displayed in order to cause a gunpowder explosion was nothing short of exciting.

--> '''Senkuu''': In our time, there is no darkness. Light bulbs erased night from the world. With old man [[UsefulNotes/ThomasEdison Edison]]'s incandescent light bulb, we claimed all 24 hours of the day for our own. With science, Humanity defeated the "night". It's been 3700 years since its light shone on Earth. And although it didn't last more than a second, its light was nothing like the light of fire. Dazzlingly white, the light of science!

* Chapter 47: In order to combat Tsukasa's forces in case they return during a storm, thus rendering gunpower useless, Senkuu gets Kaseki to forge katanas for the warriors of Ishigami Village to wield!

** For that battle, Senkuu did put an end to the Stone Age for the Ishigami village, and bought the Iron Age. For the battle, oficially graduated from being Doctor Stone, and became The IronMan!

* Season 2, Episode 2: As Senku and the team prep-up the crude-yet-effective "cell phones", they use equally-crude-yet-effective bombs in order to use the loud sounds generated by them to [[WeNeedADistraction lure away Homura]] as the team in charge of setting up the secondary Cell Phone pack rush past the now-distracted Homura to set up the Cell Phone pack near the Empire of Might's village. As Homura makes her way to the source of the explosions, Kohaku nearly manages to hit her neck with the flat side of her katana. As the two are nearly-equal in speed, she manages to push Homura near Ishigami village. Once nearly there, Senku rushes to the oncoming Homura to unveil a curious light bulb-tipped contraption, throws it up into the air near where Homura is approaching and dons a curious set of eye protection ware. What is said contraption you might ask? A freakin' crude-yet-VERY-effective '''[[BlindedByTheLight flash grenade!]]'''
-->'''Senku:''' Curious, aren't ya? Turn your peepers over this way and take a real good look. Check out my shocking science gadget, level 2. It's a flash grenade.

* Chapter 214: After the Medusa activates on its own, it sends a petrification wave heading to Senku and Ryoma. Once Senku confirms that they are safe, the two calmly stand before the wave... and smile as it comes to a stop before them. As it turns out, the various petrification events had lead them to discover that the rate of the wave is proportional to how far the wave will go, which allows them to predict where the wave will stop.

** Upon learning the sniper Stanley is about to take a shot at him, Senku rushes to the kitchen and uses a mixture of water and potato starch to create a make-shift bulletproof shield. The next chapter revealed that [[spoiler:thanks to his "shield," the bullet fragments passed through him cleanly. While he was still gravely injured, it was able to keep him alive.]]
